It’s rare that I pick apart another writer’s opinions on what makes something good or bad because we are all entitled to our opinions, just as we are all plenty able to disagree with one another’s ideas. Marriage, for example, … More
For cosmic geeks who have long-wondered what sex in space might be like (I am a member of that club), I have a bit of bad news: it is potentially deadly and may seriously mess with your system. More

Earlier this month, I was amazed by the complexity of semen. I mean, here’s this potential nutritional powerhouse that men are just throwing away by the tissue-load daily! Not to mention all of you spitters out there … But what angle to take? Was it weird to just randomly blog about the nutritional content of semen? Probably. I put it out of mind—until today. Because today, Greatist has a post about Semen, Superfood. And I can’t remain silent any longer. Without further ado, ladies and gentleman: The overlooked health benefits and other things you probably didn’t realize about semen. More
Whether you have a partner or are riding solo this year, Valentine’s Day is about expressing love – for yourself and others. On that note, I am giving you a few great reasons to indulge a little in your favourite activities – your morning cup of java, your chocolate fix, and your close relationships – turns out, they are good for your health too.

Here’s the deal: Most women don’t have solo sex nearly as often as they probably should (and some aren’t even sure how to masturbate). According to the Kinsey Institute, fewer than 39% of women in their 30s have gone it alone in the past month (while just over 50% of women in their 20s say they have). Which is a shame, because masturbation, whether you’re in a couple or not, is a) tons of fun, and b) rife with healthy benefits that are good for your body, your brain, and your overall quality of life. In essence, regardless of what your relationship situation is, it’s time to make time to masturbate. More
A couple of news stories about reproduction are floating around the internets this week: One about how watching too much TV might lower male fertility, and another about how the economy will tank if women don’t pop out more babies, stat. One is based on a health study; the other is the opinions of Jonathan V. Last, a journalist who just wrote a book about politics, fertility, and demographics called “What to Expect When No One’s Expecting.” Neither story necessarily commands readers to take action or address the issue at hand as an emergency, but they do follow a frustrating trend in stories about reproduction and fertility: That it’s a woman’s job to worry about making babies.

The “first time.” Awkward, rushed and painful or beautiful, tender and sensitive (or some other combination of intensely descriptive adjectives):Â No matter how the actual sex was when you lost your virginity, there’s evidence that the experience can affect your sexual feelings and behavior for years to come.

A penis fracture is high up on the list of most men’s worst nightmares, according to Ray Elbe, an MMA fighter that most people had never heard of until today, who decided to do us all a favor and make a video about the “broken penis bone” incurred while in Malaysia for a fight earlier this month. His video comes from a good place (or maybe just a fascination with his penis…we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt), but it’s not entirely illuminating as far as anatomy or medical information is concerned.

So I object to the very premise of this study, which involves accepting that there is both such thing as a “perfect day” and a “typical woman.” But just for fun, let’s take a look. In the study, researchers polled 909 women (average age 38) about how they spend their time and how positive or negative each activity makes them feel. Based on this, they created a woman’s “perfect” daily routine, including a mix of pleasurable and utilitarian activities. More
