The secret to a healthy love-life is always having a back-up.

While my wife, Vivian, and I deeply love each other and are committed to our union - we each have our list of 5 celebrities that we give the other permission to sleep with if ever the opportunity arises.

We came up with our list of five celebrities after watching the 1996 Friends episode: “The One with Frank, Jr.”
(The gang discusses which five celebrities they would put on their "list" of people they're allowed to sleep with and their significant other can't get mad. Ross bumps Isabella Rosselini off the list because she is out of the country all the time, while Winona Ryder is more local. He ends up running into Isabella at the coffee house. Hilarity ensues).

My original 1996 list was:

Heather Thomas, for old time’s sake (loyal listeners shouldn’t be surprised by this one).
Salma Hayek
Halle Berry
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Either of the Olsen Twins

Over the years, the list has gone through a few modifications. Now my wife is willing to “let it slide” with:

Salma Hayek
Halle Berry (See? I’m loyal)
Scarlett Johansson
Emma Watson
Felicity Jones
