I've got a good one for you: How many blondes does it take to pick up a phone?

Because dialing a few digits might have put another stereotype about fair-haired women to rest before it circled the globe this past week. In case you missed the latest "All blondes are ________" memo, let's start from the beginning:

This past weekend the Sunday Times of London published a story about a new study. According to the paper, the study found that today's blondes are short-tempered ice queens, used to getting their way—and spoiling for a fight should anyone dare to question them.

A pair of recent studies tracking the porn-consuming habits of populations around the world generated some numbers that, depending upon your point of view, are either shocking or yawningly obvious.

Around the globe, the top three consumers of pornography are China (28 percent of the market), South Korea (27 percent) and Japan (21 percent). The US comes in fourth with a measly 14 percent of porn purchases, a comparison that some may find odd, considering that the top consumers on this list are typically thought to be far more sexually conservative than America. For example, South Korea's Military Penal Code … Read More

Remember a while back when the crazy church in Connecticut exorcised a gay demon from a teen, and then put a video of it online and was surprised when those in the general public weren't fans of the practice? 

Well, apparently they need to read the latest research from the American Psychological Association. CNN reports the APA just released a massive 138-page report, which investigated 87 peer-reviewed studies, and found that conversion therapy for gays and lesbians is not only ineffective, it has potential to harm the individual. True Blood Is Anti-Gay?

Until the 1980s, most states required people to get a blood test in order to get a marriage license. The test, which screened for certain illnesses, like syphilis and rubella, was put in place to cut down on the spread of communicable diseases and prevent birth defects. By 2006, however, the blood test requirement was phased out everywhere U.S. except Washington D.C. and Mississippi.

Three researchers (Kasey Buckles of Notre Dame, Melanie Guldi of Mount Holyoke, and Joseph Price of Brigham Young) recently decided to find out if the elimination of the blood test had any relationship to the … Read More

After a string of rough break-ups, it may seem logical (and healthy!) to order the newest "How To (insert helpful adjective) (insert love-like adjective) Better." Or something of that nature. Steve Harvey Advises Ladies To Think Like Men

We've all been there. Lord knows a particularly inspired Oprah can do wonders for the commercial break checkout lines at Barnes and Noble.

However, new research has surfaced that those who truly suffer from low self-esteem may not benefit from the self-help babble so many therapists and licensed this-or-thats swear upon. In fact, it … Read More

New help for men with sexual dysfunction may be on the way. In a new small study, researchers find that light therapy may cure certain sexual dysfunction in men, reports the UK's Press Association.

When researchers randomly divided men into two groups, either giving them a placebo light treatment or authentic light therapy for one half hour each morning during a two-week period, they found that the men receiving the authentic light therapy experienced an improvement in sexual function.

Study participants were suffering from sexual dysfunction including inability to reach orgasm, low desire and impotence. The light … Read More

A trial is set to test a new hormonal contraceptive for men in 400 couples across the globe (60 in the UK and 340 in nine international locales). In the study, University of Manchester researchers will initially give male volunteers ages 18 to 45  up to four courses of injections of a combination of two hormones, testosterone undecanoate and norethisterone enantate, over six months. Both hormones have already been tested in trials for safety and were shown to cause only mild side effects in a small group of participants.

The couples will then be asked to rely on the hormonal method … Read More

I have to admit, even after reading Still life With Woodpecker no less than about 5 or 6 times, I still have no idea how to make love stay. The most I gathered from the book, it has something to do with Camel cigarettes and since my relationship with smoking was a brief one, I'm afraid that tip is of no use to me. Thankfully, a new study published in the March issue of the Review of General Psychology found that a surprisingly high number of long-term couples, including some who had been married over 20 years, reported that they … Read More

Skeptical about what online dating can do for you? You may be surprised... 

If you've ever smelled your man and thought, "Baby, I'd love to eat you on a cracker," science can explain.

In a recent study, Swiss researchers took sweat samples from men and women's armpits, mixed them with the enzymes from bacteria normally found there and discovered that men smell like cheese and women smell like grapefruits or onions. That's right: grapefruit or onion. So, if your man's ever been tempted to sprinkle sugar on you in the morning or sauté you in olive oil for taco night, there you have it.

In the recently updated … Read More
