- New study shows that two-thirds of men and 40% of women masturbate. Women: shame on you for not breaking the 50% barrier. (Here’s inspiration if you need it.) Men: shame on you for lying.
- New York unwittingly marries same-sex couple — apparently gay marriage is a-okay if one man wears a dress.
- Oprah’s pal Steve Harvey continues to dish sex advice. And we continue to be weirded out by a man who refers to sex as “the cookie.”
- College Candy unearths the perfect solution to first-date gas…until you get naked together.
Just a note that the Advocate did a terrible job with pronouns in that “gay marriage” story- one of the couple identifies as female (goes by the name Kimah instead of her birth name, Hakim) and so this would properly be classified a marriage between a man and a transgendered woman.
F: Surveys about sex are notoriously hard to get straight answers on. And when you’re asking about masturbation? Who knows how many respondents tell the truth, even if it’s just an anonymous multiple choice survey. Some people even lie to themselves about sex. That said, this survey did seem fairly legit — it was headed up by a professor of sociology at the University of Chicago. But we agree that a lot of sex surveys should be taken with a pinch of salt — sometimes it’s just fun to mention them to make a point.
Do you actually support what’s said on that study you link to? It feels a little bit er, not too thought-out.
