A whopping 90 percent of U.S. erotic films are made in Los Angeles (mainly concentrated in the San Fernando Valley), but this may be about to change. This Tuesday, the Los Angeles City Council voted 9 to 1 that performers must wear condoms. But the policy, which will go into effect in 90 days, is ...

The Porn Industry is about fantasy. Most of the women act and look far differently than those you would find in the real world. The men have larger than average penis size. And no one uses condoms. The fantasy aspect is a big part of the appeal. Because of this, many members of the porn ...

A new brand of condoms make doing good feel downright orgasmic. Sir Richard’s Condoms are the Tom’s Shoes of sex. For every condom that is sold, the group donates one condom to organizations such as Partners in Health, based in Haiti. This way, those of us who can afford to get it on safely can ...

As it turns out, school districts across the US are debating whether or not to distribute free condoms to high school students.

Ladies, you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In a couple years, you may be able to sit back and relax. No more daily pill popping, Depo-Provera injection every three months or wrestling with the female condom. A pill for men is in the works! Like the conventional pill for women, the pill made ...

For the safety of everyone, Swiss officials take the sex industry into their own hands…and construct boxes. While the sex trade is a controversial subject in most countries, authorities in Zurich are looking to revamp an already legal industry. The changes include three designated areas for sex trade workers and the introduction of sex booths, ...

Abstinence-only education is designed to keep teens from the risks associated with sexual activity, in their adolescence and later in life. A new study is here to prove this theory completely wrong. Sure, waiting to have sex removes any potential pregnancies, STIs or other risks associated with bumping uglies. What you don’t do, won’t hurt ...

When I think back to my sex education classes in high school all I can remember is teachers droning on about STIs and various kinds of protection.

Can toxic bee venom kill sperm and the HIV virus? One doc thinks it can. Known as nanobees, the nanoparticles will deliver the deadly bee toxins to the sperm or virus. Dr. Sam Wickline, of Washington University Medical School, has been given a $100,000 grant to look into the antiviral contraceptive gel. “Sperm and HIV ...
