Happy Movember!

When women want to promote breast cancer awareness, they turn everything pink and post inane (sorry, we mean, hilariously double-entendre) Facebook status updates about where they like to hang their pocketbook. When men want to promote prostate cancer awareness, they grow temporary hipster ironic mustaches in the month of November. Get it, Movember? Depending on […]

The Female Reproductive Tract Explained in Rachel Maddow’s Man Cave

Wait, that title didn’t come out quite right. “Man Cave” is not meant as a euphemism here, especially for Rachel Maddow’s lady parts (for several reasons). No, the “man cave” is just one of her dorky gimmicks whereby she tells her female viewers to take a break, pops a brewskie, puts up some sport paraphernalia […]

Something to make you feel a little better about the recession: materialists have less happy marriages. In scary hardcore zealot news: the “zygotes […]

Live Human Birth: You Never Saw This at the County Fair

A few weeks back we found ourselves at a county fair witnessing the live birth of a calf (as one does). It was equal parts fascinating, horrifying and beautiful and reminded us of exactly how animalistic the human birth experience can be (and vice versa).

Benevolent Sexism? Not So Much

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock lately — or watching the soon-to-canceled TV show Playboy Club — so-called benevolent sexism is doing or saying nice things for sexist reasons. Killing them with kindness, as it were. For example, holding open a door for a woman (when you don’t do it for men), or […]

Naked News: In Space, Safe Sex May Be the Only Kind of Sex

Sex in space? Maybe. But scientists still aren’t sure that reproduction works in the microgravity of space.

HPV throat cancers transmitted during oral sex have increased significantly in recent years, […]

New Research Shows We Still Have No F-ing Clue About the Female Orgasm

photo via flickr The female orgasm is a mystery, and not just in that how-the-hell-can-I-make-my-girlfriend-climax kind of way. Scientists just can’t seem to figure out what it’s there for. The most recent theory — popularized in the 2005 book The Case of the Female Orgasm — was that it was just an accidental evolutionary by-product […]
