Renewed vows protocol, dating a loser and do you cry-max?
As the week ends, so does my resolve to keep it fresh, original and compelling. I'm only human, and a bit of a Friday Afternoon Ninja (someone who is mysteriously gone at 4 p.m. every Friday). So, I scoured the interjam for both of us and find the best of the best.
Intentional and full-grown virgins exist, and they are not all religion-y. Lemondrop has a great first-person essay about keeping your word to stop at third.

Vampire sex still hot. Plus, sex questions, unrequited love, sluts and texting blind dates.
Love Bytes: Five must-click sex, love and relationship links.
Marilyn Manson step aside, it seems that everyone is going goth and getting into vampire sex. [The Frisky]
It's been, let’s see, almost three months since I've gotten laid. I've done a little making out, but in general, most of my sexual satisfaction these days is from watching "True Blood" every Sunday on HBO. It's been a big year for vampires, but an even bigger one for vampire sex, which has got everyone from teenagers and Midwestern moms, to geek fan boys and, um, twentysomething bloggers obsessed with how they … Read More
Ugly men + hot ladies = best chance of pregnancy?
We're relieved our own pregnancy desires are dim flickers in the distant future, because we would drive ourselves absolutely nuts keeping up with all these ding-bat how-pregnancy-happens theories. Pregnancy Makes Women Smarter
It's getting to be a bit much.
Today we stumbled upon two studies touting how physical attractiveness plays a role in sperm and their swimming skills. Apparently, an ugly man and beautiful woman have the greatest (theoretical) success rate for making a baby. Sigh. Further proof God is a man.
The Telegraph reported today that sperm are a lot smarter than … Read More
Male fertility and motility can be increased by having more sex, thanks to science.
You ever been smacked in the face with the perfect solution to a nearly intractable problem? And when the smacking recedes, the red mark on your face is one of disappointment in yourself? And the handprint on that red mark has the word "duh" written in hieroglyphics?
Science has just goon-handed the lot of us across the kisser with this tasty little treat: male fertility can be increased by up to 26% by ejaculating daily (rather 26% of sperm damage can be decreased by b-ing an l on the nightly tip). Per LittleAbout.com, motility (whose lack is … Read More

Why Sperm Is Good For Your Skin. [CollegeCandy]
How To Be A Great Kisser. [Glamour]
When I was little, I was terrified of kissing. 'I won't know what to do,' I worried. But then I had my first kiss and more or less figured it out. Now, after fifteen years of smooching, I've realized seven things that add up to a great kiss.
10 Striptease Tips [Em and Lo]
Sperm activate by a mysterious process: capacitation. Plus a crazy condom ad.
Hey, ladies, we can't just turn it on and turn it off like some kind of GD (or GE) light switch. The magic needs a little conjuring. A little hocus-pocus, maybe a tipple of witch's brew and some tongue of snog go a long way to making Jack a fun boy*, namean?
And the interweb is reporting that our swimmers aren't too different. Per our good buds at The Frisky, sperm have to be activated (turned on, yeah baby!) in order to do their thing, fertilize, make plenty, put babies in bellies, et cetera. The process is … Read More
After studying male infertility, scientists are closer to creating more contraceptives for men.
We've always thought it a bit unfair what us ladies are expected to do in the name of contraception. Yes, men are urged to wrap it up, and yes, condoms might suck, but at least you fellas (unless a vasectomy is involved) don't screw with your insides. If we swallow a pill that doesn't jive with our internal makeup, we suffer weight-gain, mood swings and an overall, general feeling of weirdness. Not fun.
Thankfully, if science has it's way, men may soon have their own version of a birth control pill. Hooray! Researchers … Read More
A recent study claims older Dads produce children who score lower on IQ tests.
We've often thought women got a bum deal when it comes to procreating. The man orgasms and we have no choice than to suffer through the agony of childbirth. We also have an annoying biological clock telling us to pop 'em out before we go into menopause. Meanwhile, men skip into the reproductive future spreading their seed for as long as they continue to get laid.
Well, according to a recent study by scientists at the University of Queensland, a Hugh Hefner-aged father may actually be detrimental to the child's cognitive … Read More
A study of cichlid fish prove that males biologically adapt to promiscuous females.
There may be a biological reason why the K-Fed's of the world seem so darn good at knocking up star-quality women.
Their sperm is just keeping up with the times, baby. If they want to impregnate a lady as in demand as Britney (or even Shar Jackson), their little swimmers better step it up. Afterall, they're bound to have tons of competition.
A recent study surfaced analyzing the sperm of 29 different strains of cichlid fish which reminded us of this. The ladies of the breed are notorious philanderers and carouse the sea often mating with several males … Read More
A new study says intelligent men are more fertile. Wrap it up, smarty pants!
If your newest squeeze is of Ivy League caliber, make sure you're religious with the condoms. Seriously. There's a chance his sperm count is as overachieving as his vocabulary.
According to a UK study of 425 men, those who scored highest on intelligence tests also boasted the "best" sperm. What makes sperm better or worse? Great question, glad you asked. The answer: "numbers, concentration, and ability to move" researchers say.
In light of this study, scientists are coming closer to concluding that high intelligence may genetically edge one out overall. Perhaps, they theorize, traditionally bright people … Read More
