Isabella Rossellini Takes "Green Porno" Under The Sea

Economic Woes Leading To Less Sex?

Maybe it's just us, but we'd think that a flailing economy would lead more sex, not less. Isn't a no brainer? Sex is free entertainment, people. Why would you cut back on that? More »

Good news, everybody! Looks like sex is not addictive. On the minus side, this means you can only blame yourself for the hours and hours you just spent fapping to Gianna Michaels's tits. (nytimes.com, thumb)

Big Boobs + Milk = Sexy Mess

The elite team of scientists over at Boobie Blog have picked up on an interesting phenomenon: busty women really do seem to have a hard time drinking milk. While they're attempting to secure funding for their study, we'll be busy doing some supplemental research. (boobieblog.com)

Plagued by premature ejaculation? Good news: it's not your fault! Hardworking scientists have discovered that there's a gene that's correlated to premature ejaculation.

Breaking: Australian Men Enjoy Sex

A new study reveals that Australian men are happiest when they are having sex or surfing the internet (for porn, we presume). Which makes them exactly like all other men everywhere. Still, isn't it nice to know that science can prove things like this? (news.smh.com.au)

We know as well as anyone that porn can't "make" anyone do anything sex-related they didn't already want to do, but when we read that "a 48-year-old woman with a stimulating electrode implanted in her right ventral thalamus started to compulsively self-stimulate" we realized that science was the final frontier for sexual compulsion debates. That, and we'd like to volunteer for future studies if anyone's looking for willing lab bunnies. (mindhacks.com - thanks Praemedia)

Hypochondriacs should be aware of latest health scare that could destroy your life—orgasm-induced stroke. It actually happened to a 35-year-old woman in Illinois ... and it could happen to you! So have fun on your date tonight! (cbsnews.com; thumb via, via)

Science: Hot Or Not?

A new highly scientific study proves that men routinely try to sleep with women who are more attractive than they are and won't let the fact that they are pathetic overweight schlubs stand in their way. The best part? All the "data" for this study was taken from Hot Or Not! This is just like when we wrote our master's thesis on the Hampster Dance. (msnbc.msn.com + hotornot.com)

Doctors say that for many sex addicts, hiding their addiction is part of the thrill. The other part of the thrill? Having all the sex. (abcnews.go.com)

A new scientific study claims that men tend to be attracted to and date women who look like their mother. So if the majority of your porn collection consists of MILF videos, well ... it should be a fun Thanksgiving!.(newscientist.com)

Your Tax Dollars At Work: Women Dig Porn

The federal government paid $147,000 for a research project to determine if women get turned on by pornography. Guess what? They do! Now give us $100,000 and we'll call it even. (abcnews.go.com)

Vintage Sex Ed Booklet Is Hilariously Well Informed

We were all set to rail against this 1970s sex education manual, because old people are funny and confused. It's called "A Boy Today ... A Man Tomorrow"—which we think is also the title of a DVD we saw over here one day—and it's the story behind those strange things that are happening to your testicles when you're a teenager. Since it's from 1972 we just assumed that it gives a lot of hilariously outdated advice about sperm counts and masturbation and such, except that ... it doesn't! It actually dispels the myths that jerking off (it actually says "jerking off"!) makes you insane, that penis size doesn't matter, and that "experimenting" with other boys at camp won't damn you to hell. Why, that's not funny at all! That kids today can get a better sex education from a 30-year-old pamphlet (that also reminds them to trust in God) than they can from our government is actually kind of depressing. Maybe they have a chapter on that too! More »

A private Japanese company has announced that they will host weddings in space for the tidy sum of $2.3 million (just as soon as they figure out that whole "getting homemade rockets into space" thing.) You know what that means? Honeymoon sex in orbit! Makes that time you eloped to Vegas look pretty silly, doesn't it? (space.com)

Men who want to preserve their sexual function as they age are being advised to— what else?—have more sex in order to do so, thus proving the old "use it or lose it" maxim is true after all. It's also sort of like telling people that the secret to getting rich is making more money, but then we're not the experts here. (reuters.com)

We've always believed in the power of boobs here at Fleshbot, but using them to power an iPod isn't exactly what we had in mind. Still, if it means that someday lucky women like Gianna here will be able to go that much longer without having to charge their personal entertainment devices, then ... uh, more power to them!

G-Shoot Your Way To A Better Orgasm!

Ladies, would you be comfortable sticking a three-inch needle into your ladyparts in exchange for a lifetime (or a couple of months, anyway) of mind-blowing orgasms? One woman in Britain did just that and now she swears by the miracle powers of the "G-Shot". We guess she really does enjoy getting poked! (Sorry.) (dailymail.co.uk)

We're totally not smart enough to understand everything about this Boing Boing post about brain activity and porn watching, though we do need to point out that the link between fishing videos and dirty movies is not as much of a stretch as some scientists might think. (Also, anyone know where we can pick up a gently used penile plethysmograph at a good price? Sounds like just the thing to make our weekly intern orientation programs here at Fleshbot Central a little more interesting.) (boingboing.net - thanks Tits)

A rigorous scientific study shows that when men are asked to choose between a small immediate gain or a larger future reward, they will make the impulsive, instantly gratifying choice—especially if they just held on to a bra or saw a woman running in a bikini. We don't really know what it all means, but it might explain why we spend so much of our income buying steak knives from TV commercials. (eurekalert.org)

Apparently, some women enjoy fantasizing about rape (the female ninja kind as well as others)—and now a few researchers are trying to figure out why. It might be a hard thing for us non-sex researchers to understand, even if we have no trouble whatsoever understanding any fantasy that Maria Ozawa is involved in. (blogs.psychologytoday.com)

Doctors and academics are beginning work on the next version of the DSM—the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—which will answer all sorts of important questions like "Exactly how big of a freak show sexual deviant are you?" And if you're freaky enough, they might even mention your name! (msnbc.msn.com + wikipedia.org; more @ Jezebel)

Up Close And Even More Personal With ... Uh, Whatever You Call This Thing

With all of the semi-hysterical NSFW warnings they put in before the juicy part starts (literally!), you'd think our brethren at Gizmodo and their readers had never seen an educational video clip featuring an internal vag-o-cam cumshot closeup before. (OK, so maybe we hadn't either, but still. Amateurs!) We know you might be tempted to try this at home after certain DIY tips we've shared with you this week, but ... seriously, don't. More »

Ignorance Is (Literally) Bliss?

Researchers say that smart girls don't have as many orgasms because they over-think everything. Or maybe dumb girls are just so happy to get laid that they don't know the difference? (thesun.co.uk)

Scientists at Tel Aviv University claim that they have taught a computer how to recognize a pretty face. Think of all the time we will save not clicking on "Hot or Not" now that machines can do it for us! (zmescience.com, via nerve.com)
