“Sex geek” or “sex nerd” is an identification used by many people in the sex-positive community to describe their unusual, academic, and/or voracious interest in sexual knowledge. This interest extends well beyond that which would simply improve one’s own sex life. While clearly this kind of scholarship would likely lead to better sex for the [...]
There’s something about geek romance that just delights me. Perhaps it’s the idea that people historically undervalued as dating partners finding connection, or, the joy that someone’s found a partner that totally ‘gets’ them. Either way, I love a good n’ nerdy how-we-met story. Case in point: a friend of mine once told me about [...]
Until recently, larger-size condoms were only made out of latex, leaving the larger-than-average, latex-allergenic, safer-sex minded consumer out of luck. Ansell, the makers of Lifestyles SKYN condoms, has recently released a roomier polyisoprene version, the first ever larger-size non-latex condom. Polyisoprene has the advantage of being stretchy like latex (unlike the more traditional non-latex option, [...]
I came across this genital in the wild while having lunch with a sex educator friend at a cafe in North Melbourne. To our mutual delight, the table was adorned with this labial decor. Quite appropriate that this very vulval plant is a succulent, no? Follow us on Twitter @mysexprofessor. You can also follow Kate [...]
To celebrate my recent birthday, I hosted a make-your-own vulva cupcake party. I’ve seen various versions of vulva cupcakes on the internet (including this youtube video which frustratingly calls them ‘vagina cupcakes’) and was inspired to get some sex-positive friends together to make our own versions. My sex educator friends were especially keen on the [...]
No longer just the accessories of nicer public restrooms, hands-free soap dispensers seem to be everywhere nowadays and there are an increasing number of for-the-home models being marketed. It occurred to me one day that if these devices could dispense soap, lotion, and hand sanitizer as the manufacturers advertise, they could also dispense lube! Lube [...]
Sometimes “hand jobs” get a bad rap. “Intercourse’s [or a blow job’s] poor cousin,” some people say. And as it applies to women, “fingering,” while an accurate descriptor for some vulva/vagina stimulation activities, evokes a rapid in-out motion of finger-in-vagina, which is insufficient for most women to to experience orgasm. The phrase often invoked to [...]
As many regular MSP readers know, the Wondrous Vulva Puppet is one of my favorite traveling companions. I’ve spent most of the (Northern Hemisphere) summer visiting family and friends in far-flung places and predictably, brought my favorite teaching tool in my carry-on. This time, the Vulva Puppet made an appearance in London, England. For your [...]
New research on HIV antibodies could bring science closer to an HIV vaccine, report Australian researchers. Professor Stephen Kent and colleagues at the University of Melbourne recently published their study, which demonstrated significant changes in HIV infection when antibodies were introduced. They hope that if these antibodies could be delivered prior to HIV infection, it [...]
Many men struggle with keeping an erection while wearing condoms, but a new product, dubbed “the Viagra condom,” could help. Despite its name, the condom does not actually contain Viagra. Instead, it’s lined with a vasodilating gel (a gel which dilates blood vessels), which could help men maintain sufficient blood flow to sustain their erections. [...]
