Love and Women’s Orgasm

What’s Love Got to Do With Women’s Orgasms? from Debby Herbenick on Vimeo. As mentioned in the video above, there’s been a small bit of research related to feeling “in love” and women’s orgasm (one example is this interesting study). But it seems we still have a great deal to learn, scientifically, about the interplay [...]

Sticky the Movie: A Documentary on Masturbation

I haven’t seen this documentary in its entirety yet – only the trailer – but it looks like an interesting and, dare I hope, liberating and informative look at masturbation as it’s been regarded in various societies (with a particular focus on Western cultures, it seems). They certainly reached out to a lot of great [...]

Moving Video about Love – and What’s Right

I found this to be a very moving video that everyone should watch. There’s also a petition involved should you care to learn more and/or sign. I agree that’s it time – in fact, far beyond time to end this. Follow us on Twitter @mysexprofessor

How to Make a Vulva Costume [VIDEO]

It sounds like a bad joke or a porn movie: What do you get when you put two female sex researchers in a hotel room with pantyhose, sheets and a video camera? And yet: the answer is not what many people would expect. In fact, it’s this: a vulva costume. (Perfect timing, with tonight being Halloween and all – [...]

Genitals in the Wild: The Uterus-Like Flower Bed

Although not everyone considers a woman’s uterus to be one of her “genitals”, some do (as it is one of her “generative” organs or reproductive parts). And as we invented the whole “genitals in the wild” idea here at MSP, we also get to decide what we’re going to include in it. Today, what we [...]
