Coming up this Wednesday is one of the most romantic holidays of the year. Some folks will be running around buying chocolates and sexy lingerie for their mates ("Don't you think Bruno looks great in that bustier?"). It's a wonderful time to get people in the mood. So to really penetrate deeper into the motives behind the holiday, we went searching for love in all the usual places.

What is V-Day for you? Valentine's Day is an opportunity to make someone feel good.

Do you have a valentine? I've got a few prospects, but I haven't determined my angle of attack yet.

If you could print anything on a candy heart, what would it say? I'd put my phone number on it and pass it out.

Do you have a valentine? Yes. His name is Moe.

Is it a special moment? I think it's good if you can be with the person you really like. If not, then it is lonely and sad.

Do guys buy lingerie for the woman or for themselves? Mainly for themselves--they get more pleasure out of seeing it. It depends on how kinky it looks.

Is V-Day an excuse to get laid? Not really. It's more of a courtship thing. It's good for the economy. It seems like a day for a lady.

Is it an important holiday? Yeah. It's one of those days women plan for.

Do males buy lingerie for the woman's pleasure or the man's? Definitely for us. Think how uncomfortable those thongs must be.
