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 ...

My niece, who is nearly three, has begun to notice the physical difference between the sexes, principally through observing the physique of her little brother at bath time. This has become a matter of some interest to her, and with a young child’s typical candour, she is prone to declaring what she, her parents, friends ...

The conservative country of Iran is finally starting to catch up with the rest of us by releasing the “government approved”, first ever, sex education video called Beloved Companion. This video is, of course, a great idea. It covers topics like foreplay, “the use of cologne to attract a partner, the importance of keeping your ...

For the first time in a long time, students in New York City middle schools and high schools will be required to take a sex education class that actually educates about sex. They ...

Talking about sex is still considered taboo in most families. Our high school sex education (for those of us that get it) teaches us the anatomical and scientific things about sex. But we are never actually taught about real sex, the one that has nothing to do with science. This would be great if we ...
