photo via flickr This Thanksgiving, we are giving thanks for four more years of Obama, and in particular we are thankful for the preservation of safe and legal abortion; for the trend toward marriage equality; for contraceptive coverage by health insurance companies; for the continued existence of Planned Parenthood (ditto Big Bird); and for a […]
It’s a great day to be a progressive American! So happy to know we’re moving forward in the 21st century, not backward to the 1950s. Last night, the two of us gathered with friends, ate chili, drank beer, watched the results come in, and at 11:15pm poured the champagne and played “We Are the Champions” […]
We know we may be preaching to the choir here, but just in case you need some more encouragement to register to vote (state-by-state deadlines start dropping in October!), to volunteer your time to the Obama campaign, and to actually vote on November 6th, 2012, here you go: 1. Romney represents the Republican Party, and the […]

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and our friends over at Lelo are partnering up with Breastcancer.org for Rediscovering Intimacy, an initiative focused on helping breast cancer sufferers and their partners reconnect, and also to encourage people to understand more about this disease that affects 1 in […]
photo via RedModelBar.com That question is now serious business in South Korea, where the old-school hostess culture — i.e. rich businessmen visiting male-only establishments, paying the female hostesses for their flirtatious company and more — has given rise to its exact opposite: rich women visiting female-only establishments, paying the male hosts for their flirtatious company […]
LELO created this fun infographic (included below), which could be more simply titled “5 Reasons Why More Sex Helps Your LIFE.” A few thoughts on each point: Honestly, in this recession, we think most people would take the raise over the sex (including us). Yes! Sex beats shopping every time. (Or at least it should.) Wait: Married […]
photo via Flickr Cell phone use and fatty food consumption is increasing; sperm quality is declining. Old maid, schmold schmaid: Older women no longer prioritize marriage. Calgary sexual health center wants you to get informed…by painting a woodie. What was that about sticks and stones? Words definitely hurt LGBT kids. Don’t just trust GLEE: extensive new survey on American […]
photo via Travels with Two When I (Em) was in Paris a few months ago, I couldn’t figure out why the bridge behind Notre Dame was covered in thousands of tiny padlocks (plus a few bike locks). They weren’t there when Lo and I visited back in 2004. A quick spot of Googling (thanks to […]
photo via flickr We know, we know: it sounds like a bad frat-house joke. But there’s a lot of sex research making the rounds this week, and while some of it is very welcome (amongst college students, women are no longer judged as harshly for their sexual behavior; also it turns out rape victims actually […]
photo by DonkeyHotey on Flickr A big thank you to Missouri Republican Senate candidate and House Committee Member on “Science, Space and Technology,” Todd Akin (pictured above), for finally saying what no one else has had courage to say publicly: that there’s legitimate rape (you know the type: big, scary, minority stranger breaks into your house in the […]
Much of this week’s news was slightly infuriating: Animals get birth control but humans don’t? The mistress gets punished but the married man doesn’t? Rapists get rights but their victims don’t? Aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhh! Kristen Stewart is dropped from the Snow White sequel while the MARRIED MAN director is not. Seriously? The only thing NOT frustrating about this […]
We wrote a post here a while back about research into men’s and women’s fantasy lives — and in particular, how often this sort of research is willfully misinterpreted. That got us wondering what other new fantasy research might be out there… and we came across a fascinating study about why women have rape fantasies […]
photo via Flickr Reuters writer Belinda Goldsmith had a great roundup yesterday of “The Women’s Games”, which is what many are calling the 2012 Summer Olympics (which — for those of you living under a rock — just wrapped up this past weekend in London). Here’s a quick summary of the important stats, but the whole article is worth a […]
We have a dream that one day, people will deal with sex rationally and reasonably. Sure, we know that everyone loses it a little when they’re head over heels in lust — but we’re talking about something much deeper and more ingrained and more screwed up. Like orthodox Jewish men blurring their glasses so they […]
photo via Flickr Let’s all go out and have casual, obscene, Satan-fueled sex — Obamacare’s coverage of contraception began this week! We’re in the middle of World Breastfeeding Week (Aug 1st – 7th) — and it’s WBW’s 20th birthday. British female weightlifter beats up sexist trolls (metaphorically). “Sex is. There is nothing more to be done about […]
THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED: SEE WHO WON HERE! In honor of Kegel Week, we’d like you to come up with a slogan for pelvic floor health — something that would be catchy on a bumper sticker or a t-shirt. Yes, it is possible! Think “I’m Kegeling right now” or “iKegel” or “Kegel is German for good […]
