Sometimes people send us emails about cool sex-related projects they’re working on. Recently we got one from an independent film troupe in Indiana who are making a documentary about female sexuality. It looks pretty awesome and quite different from most documentaries we’ve seen on the subject, so we thought you might like to see what [...]
A recent study gives more depth to our understanding of how vibrators help women get off by examining people’s attitudes towards vibrator use. It turns out that the positive benefits related to using a vibrator- like orgasms- are tied to a woman’s attitudes towards her vibrator use. So, a woman who uses a vibrator, but [...]
I’m always on the look out for sex toy news to share with you guys, but often the only news out there is a wee bit mundane (like this one my father sent me). Imagine my delight when I read that one of our very own sex toydistributorsSex Toy Dave is gearing up to launch [...]
As if data storage couldn’t get sexier. The Duet is a USB-powered vibrator with up to 16GB of storage (porn, anyone?). Combining technology, sexology, and online fundraising, Crave, the makers of the Duet, are certainly tapping into an industry on the upswing. I want this vibe, not because I need it, but because anyone [...]
Scientific interest in female sexuality has an annoying tendency to lag far behind that of male sexuality. Back in 1951 scientists mapped out the sensory cortex- the part of the brain that registers stimuli from all over our bodies- finding which parts light up when different body parts are stimulated. But of course, all of [...]
The benefits of sex are endless. Brazilian scientists speculate that it may help treat Restless Leg Syndrome! We’ve always known that a good orgasm helps us get to sleep better, but for the 7-10 percent of Americans who suffer from RLS, rubbing one out before bedtime could be a natural and free alternative to dopamine-increasing [...]
In another example of science telling us things we’ve always known, lube has now been proven to enhance pleasure during sex. Sexual health researchers at Indiana University have released a study on the use of water and silicone based lubricants by women during masturbation, anal, and vaginal sex. The results confirm what we’ve been preaching [...]
A little hiatus from sex today…or is it?… At one time or another, we’ve all experienced how mood can affect our sex drive, or the sex drive of our partner(s). The functions of the human body, with all it’s various hormones and neural ticks and twitches, are more complicated and interconnected than a [...]
We’ve all been told to be selfless in the sack. We imagine that the best partner is someone who focuses completely on the others needs. I talk to so many people who feel compelled to do things that they don’t find pleasurable because they want to please their lover. Some of this can be healthy [...]
If you’re like me, you love old-timey science and the peephole into the past that it gives us. I particularly love to learn about disorders that seemed to have a very strong social and cultural correlate. This particular article talks about hysteria and how, when doctors started to photograph patients in the throes of their [...]
