The Five Most Important Things You Should Know About: Chlamydia

1. Chlamydia is really common, but I don’t think anyone I know has told me they’ve had it. But they must have told someone, because Chlamydia is the most frequently reported STD in the US. In 2006, there were over a million reported cases. Eww. Teenagers and young women are more susceptible to infection because the cervix has not fully matured and gets infections more easily. Careful out there, Hannah Montana! Keep reading »

A Sleek Logo Gone Bad

The U.K. Office of Government Commerce tried really hard to make themselves a cool, edgy new logo. But they weren’t planning on it being particularly sexy. See what you get if you turn the logo above 90 degrees, after the jump. Keep reading »

The Nookie Know-It-All: Do All Guys Love Oral?

“Do any guys NOT enjoy oral sex? Do they enjoy it more than actual sex? — Seeking Sucking Stats, Duck, NC

A guy that doesn’t like oral sex is like a monkey not liking bananas. If they ever found one, they’d put it in a museum instead of a zoo. Very few people (girls and guys) don’t like oral sex. I mean, who doesn’t want to sit back and relax while someone else does all the work? But that doesn’t mean we want oral sex all of the time. I’d say guys prefer an 80-20 ratio of sex to blow jobs.

    Undercover Lovers

    Anyone who has ever had to explain their sex toys to a snooping family member, friend, or airport security officer, can tell you, it’s a bit awkward.

    Cubicle Mates Make Good Use Of That Conference Room

    According to the boys at Details office affairs are BACK and all the rage. We were not aware that they had ever gone out of style. Though we don’t have anyone in our office to have an affair with, sniff, we know many people who’ve worked a colleague in and out of the office. At one job we worked at, people would meet in the stairwell to make-out, or head up to the abandoned 22nd floor to bone. Of course, you’ve got to be careful with the office affair — hooking up with a boss or a subordinate may be sexy and thrilling, but it’s also, like most things that are fun, not a good idea. Likewise, hooking up with multiple people in your office isn’t smart either, because girls talk and your butt is gonna get found out. [Details] Keep reading »

    The Nookie Know-It-All: Chronic Diddler

    “If I masturbate too much will I be unable to get off when a guy goes down on me?” — Solo Satisfier, Baltimore, MD

The more we know our bodies (and what movements turn us on), the more we’re able to translate that experience in the sack.

    Mexico’s Sex Fair

    Mexico City just held its 2008 Sex & Entertainment Fair, which isn’t all that exciting in itself– we have sex-industry trade shows galore in the U.S. — however, three out of every four Mexican citizens are also Roman Catholic. Not sure how religious figures feel about dildos and such. The fair debuted in 2004, and the number of attendees has more than doubled since then. Of the 117,000 people at this year’s show, which features 300,000 feet of lubricants, sex toys, and lingerie, 45 percent were women. Of course, there are detractors who believe the fair promotes promiscuity, but not that many people can be against it, as the fair pulled in almost $1 million in profits for the company which owns it.
