"Forget the gross-out tribulations of Fear Factor. Here&amp;#x27;s something even scarier: doing It with your boyfriend even if you&amp;#x27;re tired or annoyed at him or feel fat. We here at Smitten try to provide y&amp;#x27;all with our own colorful sex challenges, but there&amp;#x27;s a reason we often label them &amp;quot;Weekend Sex Challenges.&amp;quot; Weekday life (babies, mortgages, that woman in the office who keeps eating your yogurt which is CLEARLY labeled with your name) has a tendency to get in the way of getting it on. Not anymore! According to an article in the Philadelphia Daily News, Lifetime is taking the whole sex challenge concept to the next level. Starting this Thursday, the network will debut a new reality show called 7 Days of Sex. Each week, two sexually-dissatisfied couples will appear on camera for a &amp;quot;seven-day sex challenge.&amp;quot; The challenge encourages a week-long sexploration in the bedroom to revitalize their marriages or long-term relationships. (Although they won&amp;#x27;t be filming the sex part.) Self-help books like 30Daysexchallenge: A Journey To Intimacy, written by a married couple, have tackled the concept of sex challenges sans cameras. One couple even did it for 101 days, and they had kids. Dang. My question is: do you think a regimented challenge like this might take the fun and spontaneity out of sex? Would you go on TV to do one? Have you ever done one? Did you keep a scoreboard and/or high-five afterwards? Tell meeee! Take a look at our sex challenges if you are feeling brave: *Sex Challenge: Try These Boyfriend-Approved Kinky Things this Weekend *Weekend Sex Challenge: Tantric for Beginners Weekend Sex Challenge: Take Him to the Theater (In Your Bed) Photo: Thinkstock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
