Whenever someone sees an Axe commercial, the cover of a Playboy magazine or a poster for the next big action movie, they are most likely looking at a picture of a woman’s body that has been over-sexualized. A new psychological study has found that when people view these pictures, they see these women literally as ...
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. But how would you feel about Playboys at the public library? In all my years as a library-devotee I’ve never even noticed Playboy magazines lying around, but it ...
The act is far from sexual, but there’s something playful about a hot guy reminding you that you’re due for a breast exam.

The new Rethink Breast Cancer campaign stimulates women’s visual senses ...
It’s not often that a day goes by without hearing the word “penis.” Hey, I’m not complaining. Austin Powers had some funny euphemisms for it, but lately, I find that I want it raw and uncensored (the word or the actual flesh and blood). And this is just what’s on the menu this fall. I’m ...

Some people are so lonely that they make up fictional social lives to tell their colleagues about. This is the picture the paper choose to illustrate the story. But seriously, why does The Times, a proper broadsheet that would like to think of itself as the paper of record, need bare breasts in their pages? ...
A weather-beaten eye cast over the media: HatManJim looks at a story in the headlines and as a feminist with a penis (Menimist? Femi-meni-mist? I just believe in women’s rights, I’m not having gender-reassignment. OK?), attempts to map the sexism inherent in the press, without inadvertently saying anything lecherous about breasts.
