Share this Post-copulatory physical affection. Or cuddling, if you want to use the layperson’s terms. You know….the physical intimacy stuff you do with someone before or after sex (and by sex I mean any type of sexual activity)? That’s what I’m talkin about here… I’d say cuddling is pretty important. Determining someone’s cuddling skills is key considering this study found that you spend an average of 47 minutes...

Share this Is Spring (aka sex) really in the air? Well these researchers set out to find out how the season affects our Google searches. Turns out we are seasonal pervs. Since you’re probs not gonna read the article yourself, let me summarize what we did know about seasons trends as they relate to sex, mating, and otherwise. - American data shows a peak in abortions in January (likely due to a boom in bedroom activities over the...

Share this Nachos. Yes, those greasy little snacks that are best shared late at night or to watch a good movie at home for date night or…a first date snack? Yes! Because while out having nachos with a friend last night (someone who I have not ever shared nachos previously, FYI), we decided that nachos are really the best first date snack. (And for the record, folks, when I say nachos, I mean some type of tortilla chips that are baked...

Share this So riddle me this batman, does penis size matter? Cuz I don’t think us sex researchers can make heads or tails of this. Up until now. Kind-of. If you are looking for some slick penis stats, then check this previous blog. Researchers generally believe that female sexual selection has had an impact on the evolution of male penis size in humans. This is because in the past, yo, we didn’t wear clothes. And women could...

Share this So I hear this question a lot: Is monogamy natural? And it really bugs me. Which likely comes as a shock to most people given that my main area of research is casual sex which is fairly non-monogamous in nature. And here’s the deal….lots of people are totally down with monogamy. And are able to be 100% faithful and would not ever consider straying from their partners. Or at least not really consider straying. That’s...

Share this So do we view women’s sexual behaviour the same way we view men’s sexual behaviour? I’d like to believe we do…but then I’ll read another research study and I’m not so convinced. This study always pisses me off…well the results do. Not the study itself. Diary entries portray a woman having sex with someone she recently met. This is the first time they have sex. In these fake diary entries, the authors...

Share this Ummmm. No. Not You. Not ever.   How would you answer this question if someone of your preferred gender came up to you and asked you this? What time? Hell no? Tonight? Tomorrow? Does it matter? Well basically, the research suggests that men will probably always say yes. And women will probably always say no. Except if the guy is hot. And tall. Then she’s likely to be a little bit more DTF. So let me tell you about this...

Share this Would you have sex with your ex? Do you have sex with your ex? Would you get back together with an ex after a break-up? These are just some of the questions that researchers are beginning to ask. Because shockingly, researchers actually know very little when it comes to sex with the ex!!! Actually almost nothing. And even less than nothing when it comes to sex with an ex you weren’t married to. So what do we have here?...

Share this — A little love aside: A couple of years ago, I was playing the “A, B, Cs of Sex” which is this great drinking game where you go through the alphabet and you have to come up with something sexual related to the letter you land on (e.g., A is for Ass, B is for Boobs…you get the drift). If you can’t come up with something: you drink. And as you can suspect, the longer the game goes and the more drinking that takes...

Share this A colleague and sex researcher friend of mine, Heather Armstrong, is researching the reasons why women have sex. Here’s a little Q&A I did with her about her research. Consider participating in her study if you are a woman. Bonus if you are a woman with same-sex attraction. So why do women have sex? Well, past research has identified 237 different reasons why people have sex! Reasons range from expression love and...

Share this Oh, such a seemingly innocent little tool. Your dentist recommends you use one. Your friends appreciate you use one in the morning. You like when any close talker has used one recently. But sometimes you find yourself caught unawares without said toothbrush. Like… maybe you are an overnight guest at someone else’s house. So riddle me this one, batman. For whatever reason, you spend the night with someone. Perhaps a number...

Share this So let’s talk about morning sex. I guess when I say morning sex, I mean the kind of sex you have with someone who you’ve just spent the night with (but I can accept other variations to this situation). For all you morning sex haters: I don’t get it. Is morning sex gonna happen every weekday morning? Not likely. Is it gonna happen before my 6:30am breakfast meeting? Not for this cat. But a lazy morning? Hellz yeah. In my...
