Is romance dead? You would think so from seeing the prolific over-sexualization of women in music videos and gratuitous sex scenes on television and film. Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez are only a few artists out of many that come to mind when I think of songstresses whose fashion motto is “barely ...
Human sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of, but this doesn’t mean we leave nudie magazines on our coffee table for guests to enjoy a sneak peek.

Ryan Gosling is nice. Does that make him a feminist? A new blog shows photos of the Canadian actor with feminist and woman-friendly quotes and sayings, all beginning with “Hey girl,” Gosling’s throwaway phrase which gained quite a lot of attention. A photo of the actor’s chest has the caption “Hey girl, my eyes are ...

If Brits want access to the blocked material, they must ask for it to be removed. It will not only block porn sites, but also pages that promote suicide and eating ...
In a recent interview with Howard Stern, Lady Gaga told her young fans that they should wait to have sex. Too bad she was dressed in a scantily-clad, bondage-inspired outfit.
Conservative parents have found something to complain about for every generation. First it was Elvis and his corrupting hip swings, then it was Marilyn Manson, and when I was a kid it was Harry Potter books with all their black magic and paganism. The current panic that conservative parents are trying to raise is that ...
When it comes to sex, parents want to shield their children as much as possible. It’s understandable that they would rather them get their learners’ permits before driving in the fast lane, but eventually kids will grow up, drive fast and have sex. The UK government is trying to slow down this process by introducing ...
Sex is a good thing, so it’s no wonder that people use the internet to get in on the action. Whether you’re spending some time along with your right hand or you just want to spice things up with the flesh and blood person beside you, it’s the easy answer. And people began to panic. ...
