News About Love, Sex and Relationships as Podcast

Monday, October 27th, 2008

For all those who don’t want to read news about love, sex and relationships, but prefer to listen to them, we’ve discovered a podcast that covers all kinds of news about love, sex and relationships, in German, English and Spanish.

It’s obviously a one-stop-shop, as the Sexy Minutes, the Sexy Minutos and die Sexy Minuten are all presented by the same voice (in not quite accent-free German/English, which sounds quite charming).

The production values are a little amateurish, but the topics tend to be well selected and amusingly presented, so we’ll listen in every now and again to find out the latest news about love, sex and relationships.

How Much Do You Pay for Sex?

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Do these people pay for sex, too?When asked How much do you pay for sex? most readers would probably reply: I don’t pay for sex! Not true, says online magazine nerve, which asked 9 singles and non-singles to document their spendings on sex - in the widest sense.

The cost count includes everything that is even vaguely tied to sex. So we’re not really talking about sex for sale, just the cost of sexual relations, even if those relations are not directly associated with financial transactions.

When you count it that way, it really adds up – one of the single women pays almost 1000 Dollars “for Sex” - but if you look closely at the numbers, that sum gets put into perspective. (more…)

Orgasms worldwide: who, where, when and how often?

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Orgasms worldwide: how often do women orgasm?The Durex sex study is focussing on “the big O” this year – it’s all about orgasms. The sex study is based on data collected in a worldwide survey, allowing a comparison of the sex lives of men and women across the world.

Nigerian and Mexican women seem to be the lucky ones when it comes to orgasms. Over 70% orgasm regularly, compared to a worldwide 30% average for women and only 10% in Japan!

Germany, um, slept its way to the top spot of the worldwide orgasm charts with the highest average of men and women who have orgasms regularly. (more…)

Sexuality without Sex

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

It seems like a no-brainer: sexuality involves sex, period (no pun intended). Heterosexuality = sex with the opposite sex, Homosexuality = Sex with the same sex, Bisexuality = Sex with both sexes, etc. Obviously, that’s extremely simplified and ignores the fact that some people may identify as hetero-, homo- or whatever-sexual, but don’t actually have sex (temporarily or permanently, voluntarily or involuntarily). Their sexuality is, however, defined by their (albeit theoretical) sexual preferences.

Recently there’s been quite a few media reports about asexuality. Asexuality appears to be a contradiction in terms, because it’s a sexuality without sex. (more…)

Is a Woman’s Orgasm in her Stride?

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

You can usually tell if a woman (or a man, for that matter) has just had an orgasm: red cheeks, a smile, that special glow, and widened pupils are dead giveaways… However, a recent sexology study indicates that you can actually tell if a woman is capable of orgasms - vaginal orgasms, to be exact.

Sex Education on MTV or: How to Embarrass your Kid in Public

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Sex education is important, most will probably agree. Of course parents need to take on at least some of the responsibility for the sex education of their teenage kids. Nevertheless, conversations about sexual education between kids and parents are embarrassing for everyone involved (as most people can probably remember when they cast their mind back to that painful conversation about the birds and the bees). So one might wonder if the idea proposed by MTV, to televise those conversations about sex education with mum and dad, is so clever. That sounds like more public embarrassment than your average „I’m a Celebrity…“.

But(!) sex education can actually be fun, without being embarrassing at all, as this video proves:

Sexy Scientist Turns into Sexy Stripper - Thanks to the Science of Wonderbra

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

In this Wonderbra ad, a sexy scientist turns into a sexy stripper - thanks to the sex bom gene she discovers under the microscope, which then turns into a Wonderbra, which turns her lab coat into sexy lingerie and… well, the details are a little sketchy, but the sexy scientist turns into a sexy stripper, but not just any sexy stripper - she turns into Dita von Teese, the new Wonderbra spokesmodel. Obviously, performing in her underwear is second nature to the professional stripper. Now she’s branching out into lingerie design - and making sure her own designs sell well with this spot ;-)

Pill Poppers Pick Bad Men

Monday, September 8th, 2008

 find the right man – better use these Most women want to find the right man (at least those that are interested in men do), but most women want a few years to pass between finding the right man and getting pregnant by him, so they use contraceptives. And because most women use the pill to this end, the following result of a study should be of interest: If women want to find the right man, they shouldn’t be on the pill when dating.

Sex in Marriage - in Good Times and Bad

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Sex in marriage is a topic usually discussed in conjunction with “too little”, “boring” and “routine”. “Too much” sex in marriage is something that you occasionally expect to hear from women, who don’t feel like partaking in “conjugal duties” after a long, tiring day.

In this story, believe it or not, it’s the men complaining about too much sex in marriage. The two couples featured in this article had sex every day – one couple managed to keep up the routine for 3 months, the others kept going for a whole year. The women were the ones who took the initiative and ended up writing books about their experiences with daily sex. In both cases, the couples are, ahem, satisfied with the results, but the men admit they weren’t exactly thrilled to start out with. There really is such a thing as too much sex in marriage – even for men.

Touch Sexy Women

Monday, August 25th, 2008

…well, kind of. You can’t really touch sexy women on paper but rather… feel them up? I wonder if Playboy for the blind describes the sexy women’s curves or if blind readers really do buy it just for the articles.
