1952 DC comic book panel via Hilobrow Not exactly breaking news, but we can’t believe we missed this a few weeks back: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women will most likely overtake men in the American workforce before the end of the year. New research shows that lube is finally getting the lovin’ it deserves. A […]
There’s been a lot of self-congratulatory back-patting around the House’s passing of the Health Reform Bill this past Saturday — but it’s come at a huge price. The Democratic Congress pretty much abandoned women’s reproductive rights by including the last-minute Stupak-Pitts Amendment to appease some religio-conservative members of Congress, including several male conservative Dems. Don’t […]
Australia kicked off its first ever Sexual Health Week yesterday (running through the 15th) to promote condoms, STI tests, birth control, etc . (To paraphrase Paul Hogan, now that’s a fight!) As part of the project, a survey was conducted showing that nearly all adult Australians taking part in the study have had unprotected sex, but […]
summary of states attitudes on gay rights issues Maine residents will decide Tuesday whether to repeal a law allowing same-sex marriage, an effort that has succeeded in every state where it has been put before voters. Defenders and hates alike have descended on the state, where it seems the fight is neck and neck. Even […]
If you hadn’t guessed yet, slutty Halloween costumes are a bit of a pet issue of ours, especially — okay, mostly — Em’s. Em thinks Halloween turns the country into a nation of Hooters waitresses; Lo thinks that if a fully grown woman wants to use the spooky holiday to embrace her inner exhibitionist, she […]
photo by cliff1066 The cover story in this weekend’s New York Times Magazine is about the First Marriage. It’s both inspiring and a little chastening — let’s see you be President or First Lady and still rock hot monogamy like that. And also a little terrifying — how would we ever recover from an Obama divorce? We’d lose […]
photo from Porn for Women It’s long been a given in the sex advice biz that dudes who break out the vacuum cleaner every once in a while are more likely to get laid. Even some guys who look for the Best Robot Vacuum cleaner have a good chance of getting some. Having a partner […]
A new study has found that 36% of people under the age of 35 Tweet, text, or check Facebook right after sex. For the over-35 group, that figure drops to only 8%. Are we totally giving away which side of the 35 dividing line we are located on when we say, Seriously, people? That’s really what you […]
photo via The U.S. National Archives I was going to have sex…and then I got high. New study shows that pot-smoking may cut a man’s sex life short. Speaking of pot-smoking hippies, a federal judge in San Francisco refused to dismiss a constitutional challenge to Proposition 8, ruling that a trial was required to resolve legal and factual […]
Great Daily Show bit on repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell So what’s the hold up with repealing the unfair Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy? Why are qualified people still being fired from the military for being openly gay? Perhaps we the people haven’t been loud and proud enough about supporting equal rights for everyone. Fortunately, […]
Two days left till Marge Simpson’s Playboy centerfold hits newsstands. Now we’re justing waiting for Stewie’s cover story in “The Advocate.” Support for civil unions up to 57%; support for same-sex marriage still only at 39%. But would a rose really smell as sweet if we gave it another name? It’s sad enough that there’s […]
photo via erix! We admit, genital art isn’t really our thing. We’ve seen our share at downtown art shows (and, ahem, on our own TV show in the U.K.), and, while we’re glad that people are out there creating work like this, we don’t have any hanging on our walls. That said, we totally, absolutely, 100% understand how […]
photo by Paul_Mannix Guess which book, according to the American Library Association, is the title most often requested to be removed from schools and libraries in the U.S.? Give up? For the third year in a row, it’s And Tango Makes Three, which is a guide to building your own bomb while smoking crack and attending orgies […]
photo by Brian_L_Romig One step forward in Texas: A judge in Dallas just ruled that it would hear a divorce suit by a gay couple who were married outside of Texas, even though same-sex marriages are banned in the state. (Perhaps they heard our recent suggestion to the state of Indiana that it’s Good Family Values to dissolve […]
photo by methTICALman Ah, college. The beer pong, the all-nighters, the walks of shame, the pillow over your head so you can’t hear your roommate’s drunken hook-up… Well, Tufts University has gone and ruined the last of these fond memories. A new campus policy is meant to deal with an issue that was previously managed […]
photo by Johnny_Jupiter A recent survey found that only 41 percent of U.S. truck drivers think that sex is more important than their truck. Although anyone who’s seen the excellent documentary Hands on a Hard Body could have told you that years ago. Speaking of research that depresses the hell out of us while not being the […]
