The incredible diversity of Australian wildlife is one of the most fascinating things I find about living Down Under. Instead of pigeons making noise in the trees outside my urban apartment, there are tri-colored parrots and cockatoos. On a walk yesterday evening, I saw three of these possums in a tree downtown. Oh yeah, and [...]
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 [...]
Knowing my affection for genitals in the wild, a friend sent me this gem of a phallus. She found this mail (male?) box near… wait for it… Manly Beach, near Sydney, Australia. I bet they enjoy a lot of overnight deliveries (huh huh). Learn about MSP posts as they happen by following us on Twitter [...]
If my personal experience is any indication, there’s a good chance that the last time you saw a health promotion campaign on TV or on a billboard, it left a sour taste in your mouth. Too many campaigns seems to rely on fear, guilt, and shame to make their point. There’s a great deal of [...]

Koalas don’t do much. They sleep 18-22 hours a day, sit around in trees, and eat heaps of eucalyptus leaves. But during their few waking hours, they manage to get chlamydia. Really. Mating is one of the only things for which koalas manage to get motivated. Surprisingly (to me, at least), koala sex involves lots [...]
In honor of this week’s fashion theme, I decided to discuss the ins and outs of everyone’s favorite swimwear: the Speedo. And by “favorite,” I mean, “butt of every joke.” What we colloquially call Speedos are more generally called “swim briefs” but, like Kleenex and Rollerblades, sometimes the brand name catches on. Speedo was originally [...]
Recently, I’ve been giving some thought to the concept of “limerence.” Even if most of us have never heard the term, we know the feeling: that all-encompassing, giddy, preoccupation of falling in love. I’ve discovered that my experience of moving to Australia parallels this stage of many new relationships. For some people, this stage lasts [...]
Hello, MySexProfessor community! My name is Kate and I’m truly excited to be part of this team. I’m a sex educator and all-around sex geek (and occasionally, just a geek). I’ve known that I’ve wanted to be a sex educator for longer than I can remember. Since I was young, I have always found myself [...]

So we of course were super-excited when her book, Confessions of a Pickup Artist Chaser, came out (available on Amazon and Smashwords and in paperback). Clarisse [...]
