Not all gay men are (anal) sex fiends. If you ask any Tom, Dick or Harry what they think gay men do in bed, the reply will probably involve an asshole, but a new study from Indiana University and George Mason University is set to challenge this widespread misconception.

British defense secretary Liam Fox is under investigation for breaching the ministerial code. His friend and former flatmate Adam Werritty accompanied him on official visits, had regular access to the Ministry of Defense and had business cards made describing himself as Fox’s advisor.

Dear Madame X, I grew up in the 1980s, when AIDS warnings were run at every commercial break in the Saturday morning cartoon line-up. It worked. I’m petrified.

Australian homophobes suffered a major blow this week when an ad campaign for safe sex, initially scrapped by promoters, was reinstated. The advertizement, which features two fully-clothed men having a cuddle, one holding a condom, is part of the “Rip n Roll” campaign; a Queensland Association for Healthy Communities’ initiative that aims to promote safe ...

A lot of people say anal isn’t really sex. It’s a good alternative which preserves their virginity or keeps their numbers down. Whatever. The thing is that it still requires a condom and less than a quarter of women polled by the NYC Department of Health report used protection. The report, “Women, Unprotected Anal Sex ...
Dear Madame X, I have recently married a lovely man. He is a very kind and caring man from a religious family, but not at all religious himself. However, he often insists on having anal sex and does not seem comfortable with vaginal sex or with me facing him during sex. I think he may ...
Total body sex is the idea that all parts of the body can give and receive pleasure; that erogenous zones are not limited to the genitals and face. This is the goal of all sexual pleasure. Amazon.com WidgetsWritten in the Flesh, A History of Desire, takes a look at what kind of sex people have always ...
