Most of us are not ready for the honesty, transparency and humility that are necessary to make polyamory work. When I say humility, I mean being able to look at your own jealousies and insecurities with a gentle eye and a willingness to speak your truth with love.

Curing Low Testosterone: Pills Or Porn?

When a man loses desire, should he turn to tits or tablets?

Newsweek had an interesting article today that actually touted the health benefits of married men viewing porn. The article asked the (not often) debated question: what's the best fix for low testosterone: good, old-fashioned Jenna Jameson or the pharmaceutical industry? After all, neither are blameless diet-exercise-and-get-plenty-of-sleep solutions; it's pretty easy to judge weird drugs on the market and strange women on your living room T.V. a quick-fix called AndroGel has been on the market for the past decade, causing men who've lost that loving feeling to sign up in droves and attempt to reclaim lost hormones by slathering this foam-like stuff all over their bodies. AndroGel is supposed to turn them from a grouchy, sexless Homer Simpson-type character and into a cheery George Clooney of sorts ("improvement in energy, sexual desire, sexual function, and mood within 1 month" says the website).

And like 43,000 other couples, their initial meeting and marriage both occurred in the virtual online universe of Second Life.

Sex On Campus Is Not all It’s Cracked Up To Be

Despite the abundance of sex talk on campus, undergrads aren't doing it much.

For whatever reason, there is an abundance of sexual content on college campuses. Yale, Harvard, and Boston University all have student publications focused on the beast with two backs (which probably just depends on angles). But evidence suggests that college students are not doing it nearly as much as those that came (or faked it) before them. What's the deal?
