photo by CarbonNYC Study shows a broken heart may actually increase your risk of heart disease…but only in women. Just in case you thought the playing field was starting to get too even. Public health officials consider mandatory recommending routine circumcision — yes, here in the U.S. — to lower H.I.V. risk. The blogosphere’s skank […]

photo by dougwoods Wondering what’s the 2009 equivalent of “the dog ate my homework”? It’s “the cat downloaded my child porn.” Seriously. In the you’ve-got-to-be-f&#*ing-kidding-us department: South Korea paints parking spaces pink to designate them for women in heels. Kathy Griffin continues to endear herself to us by bringing Levi Johnston as her date for […]
photo by yaaaay Yawning before sex may actually be a good thing. Newsweek — yes Newsweek — has a whole polyamory extravaganza online. Yay, another excuse to drink! Red wine may increase a woman’s sex drive. Read the rest of this post on SUNfiltered
photo via Alessio85 The Berlusconi sex tapes leave us totally torn: On the one hand, what a sleazebag! On the other hand, it’s kind of sweet how he encourages the escort to masturbate more in order to improve her sex life… French women might not get fat, but these days they don’t go topless on […]
photo by aforero The recession (and, perhaps, that Sasha Grey movie The Girlfriend Experience) is pushing more and more women into sex work. In more cheery financial news, apparently being told “I love you” is worth more than $200,000. Too bad your credit card company won’t accept that sort of currency. If your new partner […]
photo by Lee Coursey The New York Times reports that, Mark Sanford and Jon & Kate notwithstanding, the institution of marriage has become more resilient in recent years, not less so. In fact, after Sanford’s confession-slash-lecture-on-sin last week, we wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to take credit for single-handedly strengthening the institution of marriage. […]
photo by slushpup 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. […]
photo by samie.shake News you can use: Research shows that history majors have the most active sex lives. Jerry Springer is secretly a pretty cool guy: he cries at chick flicks, he gets embarrassed on a daily basis, and his least favorite aspect of his appearance? “My mirror.” Our favorite Twitter of the week, courtesy […]
photo by epicbeer Apparently British women don’t drink beer because it’s “too manly” and will make them fat. Ah, feminism. New polls from Pew and Gallup seem to show that the anti-abortion camp is gaining support. Fortunately, the good folks at stat site FiveThirtyEight.com explain the so-called “shift” (for example, in the Bush era, people […]
photo by babasteve No joke: Saudia Arabia holds a “Miss Beautiful Morals” pageant. Gossip Girl takes a hit: Study links viewing adult-themed TV to earlier sex in teens. Oh, but Serena van der Woodsen and Chuck Bass make such good company on lonely, lonely nights. Finally! Funding for failed abstinence-only programs bites the dust under […]
photo by optimal_tweezers Last week we explained how evolutionary psychologists can be so annoying sometimes, what with all their assumptions about modern-day dating and mating behavior based on hunter-gatherer societies. Sure, sometimes those theories are fascinating and even enlightening, but sometimes they’re just plain wrong. Well, here’s another one for the “assume makes an ass […]
From the book I’m Glad I’m a Boy! I’m Glad I’m a Girl! The new documentary Outrage, opening this Friday, exposes closeted gay politicians who publicly oppose gay rights. The theory being, why should they get to stay in the closet if they’re actively holding back the gay rights movement in their day job and […]
photo by frankie_m I love you, now bend over: a new study finds that spanking brings couples together. Tupperware schmupperware: Mother Knows Sex is a TLC TV special airing on May 10th about a mom of four who has made millions selling sex toys. Good news: The FDA allows 17-year-olds to get morning-after emergency contraception […]
photo by appenz Move over cougars; hyenas are the new predatory females in town. The latest trend, apparently, is sexually aggressive teen girls who take boys’ virginity just for fun, leaving the guys depressed and/or freaked out. Equality never felt so crappy. Like Freddie Krueger (except scary), Sarah Palin rises again, this time in preparation […]
photo from Green Porno 1 Mean green porno: flies engage in “chemical warfare” to control their mate’s sex drive. Yay, another excuse to drink! Study says red wine may increase women’s libidos. Science isn’t always progressive: Male chimps treat females to nice steak dinner, get laid. Read the rest of this post on SUNfiltered
