Soon Bella Swan, of Twilight fame, will give birth to her vampire spawn. Or rather, after enduring an incredibly painful and life-threatening pregnancy, the baby will be literally ripped from her womb. It makes a girl wonder, why would anyone want to have sex with a vampire anyway? The Cracked team takes a stab (through ...

Contrary to popular belief, women can be sex addicts, too. In fact, up to 12 percent of people seeking treatment for this addiction are women (not to mention the ones who aren’t reported). Surprised? This is something that’s rarely talked about, and rarely taken seriously. “Do sex addicts really exist?” is something I hear quite ...

Our editor, back from her lost weekend cruising the loucher bars of festival Edinburgh, recently brought an article to my attention. It took the rather unusual stance (at least for a feminist author) that men, finding themselves, as they generally do, in severely straitened sexual circumstances following marriage, are to be admired on a daily ...

One in twenty women will experience menopause before the age of 40, a new study has found. This early menopause can threaten more than your sex drive and mood swings. Risks include heart attack, stroke and bone disease, but researchers have been unable to explain the cause. This research, done by the Imperial College London, ...

My, oh my! It turns out not all young men are tripping over themselves to get more action. And now there are stats to prove it. A recent study found 12 percent of Australian men aged 16-24 actually wanted less sex — a higher proportion than any other age group. “Although it’s a minority, it’s ...

Ego-boosting things like receiving compliments and doing well on a test are more important than sex and money. Researchers looked at wants and needs around sex, money, food, and friends, and sex and money were not ranked as high as expected. They said this “should raise red flags about the role of self-esteem in society.” ...

Dear Madame X, Medical issues have left me constantly fatigued. I’ve spoken to the doctors and there isn’t much I can do about it until I go off the medication which I cannot do. I’m still interested in sex but not as much as I used to be and once we get started I just ...

Can you imagine what it would feel like to never be turned on? Not by a sexy movie star or even your partner? Asexuals are one of the most misunderstood sexual orientations, and I’m willing to bet you have never even heard of them. Unlike being gay, which is mostly tolerated, a lot of people ...
