Patrick McNamara, a Professor of Neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, has a great short piece on his blog at Psychology Today about a recent survey in Hong Kong where male college students were asked about their sexual dreams. The survey was only of 58 students, but the results, for what it’s worth, are pretty cool. Sex dreams are a case where social sciences/psychology research has almost (almost!) no choice but to rely on us...

Competitive Enterprise Institute policy analyst Michelle Minton crunches some numbers over at the OpenMarket blog. “The rate of HIV infection among the LA porn population is somewhere around 0.0007% of the population versus the general population's 0.0016%.” Mandating Condoms? (Reason Magazine) Just announced: male circumcision rates have dropp...

In case you’ve missed the frequent reposts of Sinead O’Connor’s claim that she’s about to have sex with a truck, well…let me catch you up. Part I: 1987. I thought Sinead O’Connor was the second-hottest bald chick in the world. (The first was this punk girl named Steph from Modesto). She was a feminist icon about as punk-rock as Bono, which I thought was just barely punk enough to make her vaguely interesting e...
