Watch Naked Men Do Yoga

Watch Naked Men Do Yoga

Naked yoga for men is reportedly “on the rise” in Edmonton, Canada. The story is positively dripping with faux-trend warning signs — the source of this info on nude male yoga’s ascendancy seems to be a single nude male yoga instructor, for one — but so be it. I’ll take any excuse to post a video of hot naked men in warrior pose, I guess (don’t worry, strategic camera angles ensure that this videos is safe for work). More »

Angry Writer Suggests No Penis Is Too Small, It’s That Women’s Vaginas Are Too Big

Angry Writer Suggests No Penis Is Too Small, It's That Women's Vaginas Are Too Big

This is the most amazingly oblivious thing I’ve seen in a while: Peter Lloyd – a male writer skeptical of science saying “size matters – has taken to the Daily Mail opinion pages to warn women we’re next! That’s right, ladies, if folks are gonna dare start suggesting that female pleasure might be affected by physiological reality, then men might just start critiquing women’s bodies. More »

“Broga” Sounds Terrible, Says Actual Yoga-Practicing Man

"Broga" Sounds Terrible, Says Actual Yoga-Practicing Man

Last week, Time ran a story with the headline “Broga: Finally, Yoga For Dudes,” which is about studios that are offering competitive, “manlier”  yoga for men. Which immediately irritated me, because not only is that is a terrible name, but there are always men in my yoga class, so it’s not as if they’ve been banned all these years. Is this another crappy marketing campaign–like Dr. Pepper Ten or Charles Barkley’s Weight Watchers ads–to make men believe that caring about health is innately feminine (unless there is a specific male product to make it less so)? Or are many men secretly suffering from a serious phobia of being surrounded by flexible, lululemon-swaddled bodies? “Broga” brought up many questions for me–so I asked Neal Pollack, an actual who does actual, non-bro-specific yoga.

Men Like Small Breasts, Cheating And Other Men, According to Esquire Sex Survey

Men Like Small Breasts, Cheating And Other Men, According to Esquire Sex Survey

Esquire today released a preview of its 2012 sex survey, with the tagline “What’s normal now?” And the answers are mostly, well … fairly normal. But a few things jumped out at me as surprising. Let’s take a peek at how American dudes think (and by American dudes I mean Internet-connected men aged 21 to 59, ’cause that’s whom Esquire’s independent research firm surveyed). More »

Female Politicians Want To Control Men’s Reproductive Health. Can You Say Payback?

Female Politicians Want To Control Men's Reproductive Health. Can You Say Payback?

Oh, happy day. For the last few months, it seems like all we’ve been hearing about is men’s opinions on women’s bodies. Reproductive health, birth control, abortions–you name it, everyone from Rush Limbaugh to Rick Santorum have let us know about their back-assward views on what’s “right” for us and our bodies. You know, because they’re experts and all. But now, a group of female lawmakers are taking their turn to opine on men’s reproductive health. And the bills they are proposing are just as extreme–including everything from banning vasectomies to requiring consent from their female partner for Viagra. Can you say payback? More »

The Manbbatical: One Woman’s Year Without Sex, Dating, Or Even Flirting

The Manbbatical: One Woman's Year Without Sex, Dating, Or Even Flirting

Sometimes, I flirt and I don’t even realize it. I’ll be sitting at the long-bar, talking to a friend, or even on Twitter, and suddenly I’ll catch myself in a flirt. Whether I do it to relieve some tension, to have some lighthearted convo, or because I find the person attractive, it is rather hard to abstain from flirting on a daily basis. Claire Brosseau, 34, a Toronto-based comedian, found that her obsession with flirting, sex, and men was drawing the focus away from her goals in life, and actually increasing her sadness, rather than her happiness. So what’s a gal with a funny streak and a blog to do? Brosseau decided to go on a one-year “Manbbatical,” as she called it, in order to get her life, her priorities, and her sanity back on track. The rules were simple: no sex, no kissing, no texts, no dates, no hand-holding, no suggestive tweets (I would have broken that rule several times over), no getting smashed around handsome fellas, and she had to keep this up for 365 days. The girl’s got gumption! More »

If You Think DIY Porn Will Save Your Relationship, You’re In The Wrong Relationship

If You Think DIY Porn Will Save Your Relationship, You're In The Wrong Relationship

Could Do-It-Yourself Pornography be the cause of, and solution to, all of your sexual problems?

As more and more relationships turn sour, pornography is baring the brunt of the blame. We turn to our monitors for satisfaction rather than our partners, and when our partners refuse to enact the scenarios we see online (or can’t perform them simply because they’re just not limber enough), our sexual lives begin to suffer. But one Globe and Mail writer thinks that while pornography might be the cause of our problems, it could also miraculously be the solution.

DIY Porn, people. Grab your camcorders, your fire-engine-red lipstick, and lacey boustiers, because you are about to give Jenna Jameson a run for her money. Welcome to PornstarVille. Population: two. More »
