With an erotic softness and quiet confidence, the young, fully-nude subjects in I Heart Boy exhibit a willingness to be celebrated by all for their beauty and openness. Posing in the intimacy of their own homes, often in studio apartments in Manhattan’s East Village, Lower East Side and Downtown Brooklyn, lanky, hairless bodies are posed sensually against the minimalist backgrounds of naturally lit rooms with sparse furnishings...

Q: How can I make sex less painful?
A: According to results from the recent National Survey of Sexual Health, nearly 1 in 3 women experience pain during sex. While some of these women may have vulvodynia, a condition marked by chronic vulvar pain, it’s more likely that most women’s pain is caused by everyday issues like vaginal dryness or certain sexual positions. Thankfully, a little lubricant can make many sexual experiences more enjoyable. There are more lubricants available today than ever before – and they are more widely available as well. Also, another way to decrease pain is to increase the time spent during foreplay.

There comes a time in every science writer’s career when one must write about female sea monkeys having sex with male sea monkeys from the future, and the troubles that follow. That time is now.

In many species of animals, males and females have a conflict of evolutionary interests. Males compete with each other for the opportunity to fertilize the eggs of females. Males use all sorts of strategies in these competitions. They fight with each other for territory, they scare off intruding males, they put scrapers into females to dump out the sperm from previous males, and they inject “anti-aphrodiasiacs” to make females unreceptive to other males...

While sex and sexuality may be a "minefield," as Marche calls it, for some powerful and successful women, others have no issues at all with sex and their sexuality ... if only they had time for it! A recent survey of 3000 working parents in the UK not only revealed that working parents have precious little time to relax, it also discovered that over a quarter of those surveyed felt that their sex life suffered due to their hectic schedules and the exhaustion they felt from trying to keep up with all of their commitments. In the US, a recent survey suggests the problem here is even worse. As reported on CBS's The Early Show, a recent national survey of working parents revealed that approximately two-thirds of those surveyed often feel too tired to have sex, and a national survey conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that 33% of women surveyed reported that they had too little time or were too tired to have sex...
