Even Subliminal Naked Men Get Women’s Attention

Researchers at the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota have found that the brain responds to erotic images, even when the mind is not conscious of the image. Using a technique called interocular suppression, a selection of men and women – both gay and straight – were shown the subliminal images and their responses measured. Straight women’s attention increased after an image of a naked man was flashed Read More …

Real Dolls

While doing research for an article I came across Salon’s piece on guys who own Real Dolls (you’ll have to watch an ad to read it, or you can check out the extended version here). Now, while I can understand that many of these guys may just be using them as a handy-dandy masturbation tool, I have to say that on the whole, I’m feeling a bit creeped out. Some Read More …

Pride And Prejudice Spam

Spammers have been studying the classics, it seems. Today, amid the usual Viagra and penis enlargement deluge I received an email consisting entirely of sentences from Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice. P&P is a favourite book of mine, so I found it all rather amusing. Especially because several of the phrases were juxtaposed so as to make it all rather naughty: “yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. but pride-where there Read More …

Women Become Aroused As Quickly As Men

Researchers at McGill University in Canada have used thermal imaging technology to measure the arousal rates of men and women. They’ve concluded that there is no significant different in the time it takes for either gender to become fully aroused. According to their press release, a selection of young men and women were shown gender-specific porn movies, along with control images such as Canadian tourism ads and Mr Bean episodes. Read More …

George Michael Was My First Teen Idol

Confession time. When I was 12, I was completely in love with George Michael. I had 50 posters of Wham! on my bedroom wall, a well-worn copy of Make It Big on the turntable, a growing scrapbook collection of magazine articles and a desperate urge for a T-shirt that said “Go-Go” or “Choose Life” (sadly, I never got the opportunity to own one – damn my parents and their lack Read More …

Very Bad Porn

It’s amazing that it hasn’t turned up before this, really. Very Bad Porn (VBP, said in a breathy voice, baby) is a great spoof site sending up all those dodgy reality sites. The pics look like a bunch of happy snaps taken after a few beers at college, but the site has real videos as well. Like Sana Summers, “the hottest porn star on this site. For sure. Definitely 75% Read More …

Commuting Past Naked Men

Apparently commuters on a Seattle train are treated to an eyeful of nude male flesh every day, and the girls are loving it. The Seattle Times reports that northbound Sounder trains daily pass by a nude beach regularly frequented by gay men. Known as “The Quiet Place”, the beach has been popular as a nudist haven for decades, but the train has only been tootling past since 2004. Apparently female Read More …

Do You “Cum Like A Girl”?

LA comedian Cathy Carlson has attempted to trademark the phrase “You cum like a girl.” The story has made news because the judge turned her request down on the grounds that the word “cum” was “scandalous and vulgar” and you can’t have trademarks on rude words, it seems (a fact for which I’m quite pleased). The story also made news because one of the lawyers made use of copious amounts Read More …

Shortbus… Wow

Thanks to CAKE, I’ve now seen the uncensored trailer for Shortbus, and it’s quite the ride. I feel the need to embed the video in my own blog. Quite the promo piece. Vibrators, orgies, masturbation, flogging, autofellatio and one helluva strange sexual position that could well be called “the helicopter.” Apparently Shortbus is about one woman’s search for an orgasm. She can’t have them at the beginning, and does her Read More …

Sex in 1906

I spent a little too much time researching this month’s feature article at For The Girls. I wanted to know what the sex and reproductive lives of women were like 100 years ago, in 1906. In the end I named the article “Thank God It’s The 21st Century!” A few interesting tidbits: * Kinsey’s 1953 book “Sexual Behaviour in the Human Female” included numerous sexual histories of women who were Read More …

Trouser Snakes on a Plain

So I was musing about the whole Snakes on a Plane thing and admiring Playboy’s take on the title (Snakes on a Playmate) when I decided to jump on the bandwagon. Behold: Trouser Snakes on a Plain Yes, yes, it’s terribly exploitative and kind of cliched, but jeez I had a lot of fun making that little site. Do you like the slithery penises in the logo? It took me Read More …

Quotes About Sex And Porn By Women

My reaction to porn films is as follows: After the first ten minutes, I want to go home and screw. After the first 20 minutes, I never want to screw again as long as I live. – Erica Jong, Playboy Magazine, September 1975 If you use the electric vibrator near water, you will come and go at the same time. – Louise Sammons For women the best aphrodisiacs are words. Read More …

Redheads Have More Sex

According to German researchers, women with red hair have more sex. “The sex lives of women with red hair were clearly more active than those with other hair colour, with more partners and having sex more often than the average. The research shows that the fiery redhead certainly lives up to her reputation.” So here’s the thing. I’m a redhead. I’ve got freckles and pale skin and I’ve been there Read More …

Quirky and Weird Sex Items

I spent ages researching this post on my new blog at Quirky Sex, so I thought I’d call your attention to it: Weird Sex Products Need a ball scratcher? A semen collector? How about an artificial foreskin or vibrating vaginal periscope? No? Well surely you’ll need an ostrich feather butt plug…?
