Study: Housework Increases Sex No Matter Who Mops

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 Post-Coital Tweet Is the New Cigarette

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 […]

Naked News: Pot-Smoking Hippies & Tina Fey’s Cherry

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Mate Poaching Study: Wedding Ring = Excellent Pickup Device

photo by adactio We’ve always heard from our less-than-scrupulous guy friends that a wedding band lures single women in like flies to honey — apparently it works better even than a cute puppy or a baby bjorn. Though, we suppose if we’re going to be really fair, we should save the word “unscrupulous” for the […]

Public health officials consider mandatory recommending routine circumcision — yes, here in the U.S. — to lower H.I.V. risk. The blogosphere’s skank […]

MRI Sex

Pek Van Andel won the 1999 Ig Nobel Prize in medicine for a report published in the British Medical Journal on the world’s first MRI images of a couple’s sexual organs during actual intercourse. Well, Van Andel turned those images into a video, which is just now available online for the first time. Enjoy. Read […]

In Sleep vs. Sex Battle, the Winner is…Mattresses, Pills and PDAs

photo by audreyjm529 It seems like every few years, someone comes out with a study about what percentage of the population would choose a good night’s sleep over sex. The studies are usually sponsored by a mattress company, or a pharmaceutical firm developing non-addictive (riiiiight) sleeping pills, or — as in the most recent case […]

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 […]

“Daily Sperm Liberation” May Increase Fertility

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. […]

Bisexuality: Doing it Like They Do on the Discovery Channel

photo by Paul Mannix We were tickled pink a few weeks back when we read about the so-called gay penguins who were raising an adopted chick. But “bisexual penguins” would probably have been more accurate; most scientists agree that animals that engage in same-sex activity don’t usually shun heterosexual encounters. Rather, they simply have ingrained […]

Study: The Car Doesn’t Maketh the Man

Researchers in Australia measured changes in the brain responses of women toward a range of men in different cars. Turns out a man having a […]

Preventing Risky Teen Sex: Father Knows Best

Poster via DemotivateUs.com A friend of ours — one of the Wise Guys, as it happens — is fond of telling new dads, “Your most important job is to keep your daughter off the stripper pole.” Well, a new study kind of proves his point, if you’re willing to accept “stripper pole” as a sort […]
