Holy crap, you guys. You HAVE to read this article. It’s on the OKCupid blog, and it amasses all the data they’ve collected by the people using their dating service. There are graphs, people. There are graphs where you can move the toggle to change the results.
And you will find that there are some fascinating [...]
I’m just going to throw this quote out there from a Scientific American article that I just read:
Studies from around the world have reported that men are more jealous of sexual infidelity than emotional infidelity. And women are the opposite—they’re more jealous of emotional cheating than sexual cheating. Experts often lean on an evolutionary cause [...]
This is really great. The Sex Positive Journalism Awards, or “Sexies” for short, exists “to give mainstream journalists encouragement and support for covering sexual topics in unsensationalistic honest fashion.” You can also check out their award criteria and their list of judges (which include such luminaries as Carol Queen, Rachel Kramer Bussel, and Debby Herbenick).
They [...]
I just made that word up, if you can believe it.
The more “correct” term would be medicalization, and my favorite debunker of hack sex science, Dr. Petra Boynton, has a very nice outline of the medicalization of sex. Check out the article, the links to more information, and follow that up with her appearance on [...]
Some of you may have read the recent research “indicating” (oh yes! Scare quotes!) that the G-spot does not exist. One of my favorite bloggers, Dr. Petra, does a nice thorough analysis of the limitations of this sex study (such as, for example, its reliance on self-reporting and its intentional exclusion of queer women) and [...]
Looking back on 2009.. it has been a great year for innovation in the sex toy industry. One of my favorite things that came out this year was the Earth Angel vibe. I mean , can you get cooler than a hand-crank vibe? I don’t think so!
Sure it is kinda ugly, but when you are [...]
Fascinating article about how biological sex is potentially reversible… and how it seems to rely on the behavior of a single gene.
In mammals, males have XY chromosomes and females XX. The new research shows that another gene is responsible for switching women into men.
If the FOXL2 is switched on then the body [...]
You know what I’m tired of? The “how does the female orgasm fit into evolutionary science” argument. I’m tired of all angles of this argument, from the camp that says there must be some way female orgasm makes women more evolutionarily viable — as mothers, mates, potential mothers, potential mates– and I’m tired of [...]
As you may have heard, there is a new drug in the pipeline called Flibanserin that is supposed to help women with a low sex drive. I am skeptical of these types of things that tries to solve a complicated issue with yet another drug, but that is just me…
For a more thorough examination, the [...]
I know I know. Oxytocin is the goody two-shoes of the hormone world. Blah blah blah emotional attachment, mother-child bonding, etc.. The cuddling hormone, if you will. Yes, it’s involved in orgasm, but anything that I had heard said oxytocin is mostly just responsible for post-coital coziness. Until now, that is!
Check out this fascinating article [...]
