The May 24th issue of Entertainment Weekly answers the Burning Question: Is using sex to induce labor good advice, or just a sneaky way to sex up a sitcom? Hanky-panky doesn't just cause pregnancy. Semen contains hormones that make the uterus contract, possibly bringing on the blessed event, says Dr. Jacques Moritz, an OB-GYN at New York's St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center. "It's not 100 percent effective," she notes. Drinking castor oil has a similar effect, explains the doc, but "It's definitely less fun than sex." And not exactly a prime-time draw. -Jennifer Armstrong
