Head over to see what Cosmo picked as the 10 “crazy” sex facts from How Sex Works. My favorite was number 1 on their list:
“1. Humans aren’t the only ones who perform oral sex. Cheetahs, hyenas, and goats all go down.”

Just got a review from PopMatters:
“…an award-winning neurogeneticist and evolutionary biologist with a PhD in human physiology to boot, Moalem writes about intercourse and sexuality in a candid, inviting way for a change, bridging the gap between the scientist and the layperson, reinvigorating the learning process (and the bedroom) once again.”
and
“In short, a fun, entertaining, and informative read that keenly observes and successfully outlines the frequent patterns of our sexual behavior, How Sex Works is a great primer for those who are just discovering sex as well as people who have been around the proverbial block a few times.”
Go here for the full review.

Women, have any of you had a recent somewhat uncomfortable pelvic/pap exam. Well then, you probably have a plastic speculum to thank. You see they lack that natural slide that you get with the good old school stainless steel type of speculum. Plastic speculums are naturally a bit ’sticky’, which is why you must use them with ample lubrication. And they break. Which is not a lot of fun for both the practitioner and patient. But don’t get me wrong there are a few benefits to using them. Being single use and disposable, is a plus. But for the most part, the reason that they are used can be summed up in one word. Cheap. That’s right, cheap. Having spent a day doing pelvic exams with them, and hearing half a dozen docs bemoan their introduction, I think women should unite and just say no, to plastic speculums.

Just imagine for a minute all the amazing little and big things that had to have happened for you to be here at this blog reading this post. And if you’re currently in love or are in love with the idea of being in love, and failing that, are just out to understand where your sexual urges come from, than you’ll want to read my new book, How Sex Works. But, you can’t buy it until April 28, 2009, so until then lets get the conversation started here… lets talk about sex. Any suggestions?
