Masturbation Evolved in Primates as a healthy Sexual Behavior

Despite centuries of taboo and titillation, masturbation in primates appears to serve an evolutionary purpose. A study published June 6 in the journal Proceedings of The Royal Society B, found that self-stimulating increases reproductive success and helps primates avoid sexually transmitted infections (STI), at least in males. [Related from PopSci+: These sex toys are designed to heal, one orgasm at a time.] Self-pleasure is common across the animal kingdom, but is particularly frequent in primates including humans. The behavior was considered by some scientists to be either pathological or simply a by-product of sexual arousal. Recorded observations were also too fragmented to fully understand masturbation’s distribution, evolutionary history, or adaptive significance. In this new study, a team of researchers built a dataset on primate masturbation from close to 400 sources, including 246 published academic papers, and 150 questionnaires and personal communications from zookeepers and primatologists. To understand why and when the practice evolved in both females and males, the authors [...]

Lesbian Bars Might Be Making a Comeback?

CHICAGO – People fill the bar and patio at Nobody's Darling on a Saturday in early May, sipping craft cocktails and listening to the music of a local queer DJ. "We're so much more than a cocktail bar," said co-owner Renauda Riddle, 42. "We're almost like a community center." Nobody's Darling is one of an estimated 27 lesbian bars in the U.S., down from the hundreds that existed in the 1980s, according to The Lesbian Bar Project, an awareness campaign that runs a website and released a short film and TV series on the topic.

Health Benefits of Sex for Women

Health Benefits of Sex for Women.  Here’s a subject most “women of a certain age” don’t talk about sex. More specifically, we don’t talk about what it means to have a healthy sex life.

A good sex life can improve sleep quality, support immune function, boost mental health, and increase our sense of well-being.

Stress Relief Feeling stressed out or frazzled by life lately? It might be surprising, but good sex might be the stress relief you need.

Testosterone Declining in Young Men

Testosterone is plummeting among young men — and their X-rated digital sexcapades could be the kinky culprit. The hormone helps maintain and develop sex organs, muscle mass, red blood cells, bone density and more, but it may be in short supply in some men. According to the Cleveland Clinic, low testosterone affects about 2% of men, with symptoms ranging from depression, loss of body hair and reduced libido to erectile dysfunction and low sperm count. According to The Sun, the level of testosterone in young men is declining, and watching porn or gaming excessively could be to blame. A 2017 study found that men who played video games had lower libidos than those who didn’t. In fact, the researchers suggested that engaging with video games released dopamine — the same “pleasure hormone” released during orgasm — which could contribute to lack of interest in intimacy. © Provided by New York Post Young men have experienced decreased libidos as a result [...]

Climax is Impossible for My Boyfriend

DEAR DEIDRE: SEX with my boyfriend is the best I’ve ever had, but no matter what we do, he can’t reach a climax. He says he doesn’t mind and that he loves it, yet I can’t help but worry that I’m doing something wrong. I’m 34, he’s 38 and we’ve been together for six months. Our relationship is amazing and when it comes to sex he always puts in lots of effort to make sure that I’m enjoying myself. He’s brilliant at foreplay and I have multiple orgasms every single time. The only trouble is I end up thinking sex isn’t half as good for him. While he gets aroused and has a good time, he has never reached a climax with me. He reassures me that it’s fine but I’m starting to worry that it might be something deeper. I know I should trust his word but what if he’s just trying to spare my feelings? Get in touch [...]

Sexual Intercourse? Teens Weigh In

Sexual Intercourse - Situationships. “Sneaky links.” The “talking stage,” the flirtatious getting-to-know-you phase — typically done via text — that can lead to a hookup. High school students are having less sexual intercourse. That’s what the studies say. But that doesn’t mean they’re having less sex. The language of young love and lust, and the actions behind it, are evolving. And the shift is not being adequately captured in national studies, experts say. For years, studies have shown a decline in the rates of American high school students having sex. That trend continued, not surprisingly, in the first years of the pandemic, according to a recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study found that 30% of teens in 2021 said they had ever had sex, down from 38% in 2019 and a huge drop from three decades ago, when more than half of teens reported having sex. The Associated Press took the findings to teenagers [...]

Sex with Someone New

Sex with someone new and when should it happen has always been a question. Single people are often left wondering when they should have sex with a new partner for the first time, fearing sleeping together too soon will brand them as a one-night stand but waiting too long could make the other person lose interest. Meet Tinx, the TikTok influencer who has set out to solve for this predicament in her new book, "The Shift: Change Your Perspective, Not Yourself." She hopes her "box theory" and other dating advice can help "rebrand" dating from "just a means to an end" to "an era of self-discovery." While the book's target audience is women and the dating tips offered are geared toward women who date men (Tinx writes in the book that she is "staying in my extremely straight lane and writing what I know"), much of the advice remains helpful regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. Start the day [...]

Erectile Dysfunction and 6 Harmless Reasons

You already know that erectile dysfunction is a thing, and erectile dysfunction symptoms can happen to younger men. (Age doesn’t make you immune). Only being able to get a semi- hard on when you're otherwise ready to get it on is definitely not ideal. But before you freak out, know that lots of guys can have trouble getting hard when they want to have sex, and it doesn't necessarily signal that you have erectile dysfunction and will have this trouble every time you're in bed. A lot of the issue of getting a semi- hard on can come down to psychological or environmental reasons, explains Jamin Brahmbhatt, M.D., a urologist at Orlando Health. Being able to get erect and maintain it is not always a given, especially if other factors that affect your ability to get an erection and keep it come into play, including alcohol, certain medications and work stress. Here are some of the more basic and harmless [...]

Falling Asleep After Sex

Don't be offended if your partner is falling asleep after sex. From falling asleep after sex to the sudden urge to cry, all sorts of strange bodily quirks can happen straight after a session and in the days that follow… We asked our experts to explain the reasons why. Why do men sleep after sex? “It’s all due to the biochemistry of sex,” says Dr Deborah Lee. “During ejaculation, men release numerous hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain. These include noradrenaline, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin nitric oxide and prolactin. “In studies, high levels of prolactin are associated with loss of libido, decreased sexual arousal and an inability to ejaculate" – which basically signals to the man he needs some recovery time before doing it all again.  So, falling asleep after sex can get you recharged and have you ready Hormones released during ejaculation can give men a strong urge to sleep.  Falling asleep after sex is normal. “Oxytocin – which has [...]
