JudyPyrrha: I'd assume that the whole interracial thing clocks up less willing people because it's the same as normal sex, just with a different coloured person. ... more »

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)

#bdsm

A new study has come to shocking conclusion that people who are into BDSM are not really dangerous and deranged individuals who were abused as children—in fact, they might actually be "normal!" Don't worry, you can still be into bondage and still be a freak—just, you know, the good kind. (theaustralian.news.com.au)

#whores

This just in: Men and women sometimes trade sex for favors and gifts! There's even a name for this shocking new phenomenon. It's called "dating." (cnn.com, thumb via)

Sex After 70: Still Happening

Researchers in Sweden have determined that people over the age of 70 continue to hump like mad, which totally corroborates that whole "use it or lose it" concept we heard about earlier this week. Older women are understandably thrilled by this development, even if older men are increasingly unhappy about having to run to the pharmacy all the time for more Viagra. (independent.co.uk)

#shocking

A scientific survey of what we're assuming was a large group of standup comedians reveals the shocking truth that women prefer committed relationships to one night stands and want more like, hugs and junk, while men will simply do anything in their power to see a naked breast and then brag about it to their friends. So, six of one, half of dozen of the other, right?(sunderlandecho.com)

What Will Porn Stars Do (And Not Do)?

Those wacky porn stars... is there anything they won't do? Well yes, actually. Though some adult performers are up for anything, others shy away from things like double anal or even interracial scenes (to say nothing of the more hardcore dirtpipe milkshake). But of the many things that make up the standard porn arsenal, which acts are commonplace and which are, uh, harder to come by? Based on the listings on one adult talent agency's website, an enterprising blogger has done a bit of research ... and the answers may surprise you. Out of just over 900 porn stars, how many would participate in a solo shoot? Boy/girl? Double vaginal? Actual acting? Answers (with some helpful photo illustrations) after the jump. More »

#sextoys

We've long wondered why so many sex toys are purple—and finally, someone has taken the time to try and find out. Even if this poll of several sex toy luminaries still doesn't explain our peculiar fascination with a certain large and fuzzy fast food promotional character. (nakedcity.com)

#sexwork

An anti-prostitution group surveyed over 200 men, but just can't seem to figure out why they enjoy paying hot women to have sex with them. Yeah, that is a head-scratcher. (chicagotribune.com)

#geekery

Because the Mac vs. PC sex toy study wasn't enough, now some French folks are taking it to the next level with a survey (yes, in French) that aims to determine whether choice of OS has any relation to breast and penis size. Brings a whole new meaning to that "Hey baby, is that an iPhone in your pocket?" line, doesn't it? (vaginus.org, via sexoteric.com; thumbnail via iPhone Porn Grid)

#loveandmarriage

One in four married Japanese couples have not had sex in the past year. To be fair, playing all those sexual samurai games takes a lot out of you. (afp.google.com, thumb via)

#surveys

A new survey ranks the ten things that people like to do most in bed, and you may be surprised to learn that sex is number 10. If you can think of nine other things you'd rather be doing, maybe you need a new mattress or something. (mirror.co.uk + youtube.com)

#france

A recent study of sexuality in France shows that women have become the new "sexual predators" in Gallic society, and somehow homewrecker-slash-First Lady Carla Bruni is to blame. People make fun of their men for losing all those wars, but maybe they know something the rest of us don't. (telegraph.co.uk)

#science

A new survey of Americans and Canadians has determined that the ideal sex session lasts somewhere between seven and 13 minutes. Because, you know, nothing is hotter than fucking to a rigidly defined and scientifically formulated timetable. (theaustralian.news.com.au)

#onthejob

An Italian "sexologist" (no, not Monica Bellucci) has discovered that people who have affairs at work are actually happier and more productive employees, so apparently coming in on a holiday so you can bang on the copy machine does deserve some overtime pay. (thesun.co.uk, via washingtonpost.com, via nerve.com)

#college

A survey of Cambridge University students shows that the more sexual partners you have at school, the worse your grades are. Gee ... what do you think the connection is, Einstein? (telegraph.co.uk, grade deflators found here.)

#surveys

Half of all Australians say they want to join the Mile High Club and 12 percent say they already have—and a full nine percent of those encounters involved actor Ralph Fiennes. (reuters.com; sexy stews via sexbib.com via askjolene.com)

#surveys

Apparently, Israeli women are very much in touch with their sexuality, because they also know where to "touch their sexuality." Well, they do have excellent instructors. (jpost.com)

#surveys

A new study from the Center for the Completely Obvious shows that hip college students are much more accepting of porn than their square parents. We are so down with that radical stuff, man, because we are totally young and hip too, bro! (avn.com, groovy college chick via playboy.com)

#sextoys

Apparently, sex toys and strippers are considered "inappropriate" gifts in some circles, which is why those people never get invited to the good holiday parties. (news.com.au)

#surveys

Speaking of New Zealand, nearly one-third of men there say they've been pressured into having sex they didn't want by aggressive female "predators." Especially during the Rugby World Cup. Can't they watch the big game without someone trying to fuck them? (stuff.co.nz)

#ocanada

When it comes to sex, Canadians are, well ... Canadian. . "Subdued and almost apologetic" is the phrase that the survey takers used, but we silly Americans thought that it just meant that they always have to be on top. (lfpress.ca)

#surveys

We ~~steal some of our best posts~~ get a lot of great tips from Jonas at Blography, so why not return the favor and fill out this survey about sex toys to help him finish his school project? It's like ... for science or something. (foxwell.dk, via catinatree.com/blography)

#tehinterents

A new survey says one in five Americans are having less sex because of their devotion to the internet. The other four are banging someone they met on Craigslist right now. (vnunet.com)

#femininemystique

We have to turn once again to our sisters at Jezebel to answer one of the most important questions of our generation: Is having a stripper pole in your home sexy or skanky? Unfortunately, "Both" isn't one of the choices. (Jezebel)

#grayfoxes

Over half of all seniors are still getting it on between the ages of 65 and 74, and many more are doing it well into their 80s. So now you have something to talk to your grandparents about at Thanksgiving! (P.S. How many "last taboos" can there be ABC News?) (abcnews.go.com)

#dubiousstatistics

All those surveys that say men have twice as many sex partners as women are very interesting, even if they're, you know ... mathematically impossible. Strap your nerd hat on, this could get messy. (iht.com)

#dubiousstatistics

Seven percent of men and 12 percent of women who work at home say they do so in the nude. Interesting, if true. By the way, do assless chaps and a leather slave collar count as nude? (boston.com)

#dubioustheories

Dinner and a movie is a standard dating technique, but you've got to pick the right movie if you want to get laid. One happy ending leads to another. (news.com.au)

#sociology

Elizabeth Wood at Sex in the Public Square looks at that study about why people have sex that's been making the mainstream news rounds this week and finds that the population used to gather the data may not be representative of the population as a whole. Maybe "Why Young White Unmarried and non-cohabiting Humans in Psychology Classes Have Sex (In America)" would be a more accurate name for it? (sexinthepublicsquare.wordpress.com)

#dubiousstatistics

Only six percent of internet users admit to watching or downloading porn videos online. We guess the other 94% were too busy waiting for PornoTube to load to answer some silly survey. (webpronews.com)

One in five Australians have had sex in the workplace. But what if your bedroom is your workplace? (news.com.au)
