Welcome back to Guysourcing, where a panel of helpful gentlemen answer your questions! This week, we asked, (again by reader request — keep 'em coming, readers!) "What do you expect to see, pubic-hair-wise, when the pants come off? And what are your reactions to your partners' choice? Completely shaven? Landing strip? Trimmed? Au naturel? Do you have a preference?" Below, guys share their pubic preferences: More »

Visit any top porn site today, and you'll be spoiled for choice. At YouPorn (which Wikipedia brands the most-popular "adult" site in the world), the viewer can choose from thousands of videos in dozens of genres. But for as long as we've had Internet porn, one category has stood as the most sought-after of all: barely legal teens. More »

When we talk about Hollywood's unrealistic beauty standards, we're usually talking about women. And with good reason — it's actresses who get relegated to mom roles at 35. But guys in Hollywood have standards to live up to also — and apparently they're using human growth hormone to do so. More »

We tend to think of the differences between men and women in broad, comprehensive terms. Women are more nurturing, men are more aggressive, and on and on. Of course we rationally understand that these traits are influenced by our sex hormones, but on a deeper level we seem to regard the differences in our behavior as somehow fixed. But now new research is showing that, in fact, there are very specific genes that regulate male or female behaviors, and they can be turned on and off at will—which could drastically alter the way we think about what drives us to be who we are.

Well, here's something that's not all that surprising: guys are more likely to do good deeds if there's a pretty lady present. A little more interesting is the fact that the presence of a sexy dude doesn't seem to change ladies' do-gooding behavior at all. More »

We've all heard plenty of hacky jokes made about the fact that women want to stop having sex after they've been in a relationship for a while, but men don't. Now there's some new research confirming that, in fact, there is a connection between the length of a relationship and the decline in a woman's desire for sex, but let's not abandon hope just yet.

Here's some bad news for testosterone already somewhat damaged reputation: the hormone apparently makes people less cooperative in groups. But there's a catch — the effect has only been observed in women. More »

We so often go to great lengths to keep the fact that we're menstruating to ourselves. From hiding our tampons in our pockets on the way to the office restroom to bowing out on dates during inopportune times, we have perfected the art of pretending we never bleed. Uterine lining? What uterine lining? But now it turns out that our bodies are betraying our efforts: some guys can tell when it's that time of the month just by hearing us talk. More »

Welcome back to Guysourcing, where a panel of helpful gentlemen answer your questions! This week, again by reader request, we asked, "how do you feel about men who catcall at women? Have you ever done it? If so, why? Do you understand why other men do it?" Read on for the guys' responses. More »

One in ten men are orally infected with the human papillomavirus, the nasty microscopic villain that can cause cancer of the genitals or throat. Because it's tough to test for the virus without a tissue sample and most of the infected don't know they have it, many don't think they're at risk for HPV-caused throat cancers until it's too late. Cancer is such a jerk. More »

College papers are often a megaphone for jerky guys to talk about how fat, ugly, or slutty their female classmates are. But now the shoe is on the other foot — a Yale student is getting a lot of attention for her column alleging that "guys at Yale are bad in bed." More »

The idea that women are hardcore rocks who can withstand any amount of physical pain with serenity and fortitude has been around for a long time. After all, we have to survive monthly go-rounds with monster menstrual cramps and then many of us have to push a giant baby skull through our most delicate parts. We do need to tolerate a lot of pain, but it turns out that doesn't mean we don't feel it. In fact, according to a new study, it turns out that women actually feel pain more intensely than men do.

Sometimes our planet's constant wars can seem as senseless and brutish as a bunch of Neanderthals throwing rocks at each other, and according to one team of scientists, that's what they are: an outgrowth of men's instinct to defend their mates and territories against outsiders. Are you skeptical? Good. More »

Gaydar — the ability to be able to tell who's gay just by looking or talking to them — is a "skill" of debatable merit, but many people like to brag about having finely calibrated systems of working out who's gay and who's not. Of course, when pressed, nobody can ever really put their finger on why exactly they sense someone might be gay. Moreover, people are often wrong, which can lead to all manner of unfortunate situations. But luckily, science has taken it upon itself to study some of the inner workings of gaydar. (Maybe they had a slow week in between trying to cure cancer and figuring out whether wine is killing us or saving us?) More »

Welcome back to Guysourcing, where a panel of helpful gentlemen answer your questions! This week, by reader request, we posed this question: "What are your thoughts about having sex with virgins? Would you have sex with a virgin at your current age, assuming you were single? If yes, how and when would you like to be told that someone you were dating was a virgin? And how have your sexual encounters with virgins (when you weren't one yourself) differed — if at all — from sex with more experienced partners?" Below, guys answer. More »

George Simpson is married with 2 kids, has worked in public relations for nearly 40 years, and lives in that town in Connecticut where The Ice Storm was set. And boy, is he cranky! Mr. Simpson recently found out, in a column by Jim Gilmartin, that women (especially between 50 and 70 years of age) are the world's most powerful single demographic. And that just won't do, no siree! Because women are gossipy flibbertigibbets who can't make up their minds, see. Simpson writes: More »

Yesterday, the Obama administration announced that the definition of rape will finally be updated to include shit you already probably thought should've been in there.

Despite the fact that a network television show and a dating site exist in testament to the non-mythological nature of cougars, Dalhousie University professor Marina Adshade still let her douchey male friend insist over dinner that the only men she, a well-educated, gainfully employed, forty-something woman, could hope to attract with her desiccated uterus were men who could take her to a matinee on their senior discounts.

If you always assumed grocery stores were designed to be equally unpleasant places for both men and women to shop, you thought wrong. It turns out that from the start, stores have been subtly geared toward being more accessible and friendly for women, who were, after all, their primary customers for many years. But now all that is changing. According to the Chicago Tribune, men are increasingly taking over food shopping duties for their families, and this is revolutionizing the way stores serve their customers, even leading to the creation of the "man aisle," a ridiculous-sounding safe space for male shoppers.

Of the many nicknames I've acquired over the years, there's one I'm reminded of today. The name was given to me by a bully shortly after I entered the sixth grade. I had been a fat kid since elementary school, but as puberty began to kick in, parts of me started growing differently than expected. The doctors said I had gynecomastia. "Man boobs," or "moobs" in the jeering parlance of our popular culture. More »

In the beginning of the last decade there were dozens of trend pieces about how men were starting to use beauty products, but the industry was never really able to make "metrosexual" happen. The word was thrown around a lot by the media, but it didn't translate into many men stocking up on facial cleansers. But there's still hope! Supposedly men are now interested in beauty products because they're being told that looking good is the key to be employed. More »

Opponents of violent imagery in video games have been stymied for years by the fact that no actual evidence existed to support their theory that in-game behavior led to in-life behavior. After all, Grand Theft Auto didn't lead to a suburban car theft and prostitute rape epidemic. Bioshock didn't lead to the mass murder of libertarians. LA Noire didn't cause police to be any more crooked than they already were. But now, new research has linked violent video games to a change in thought patterns that could lead to violent behavior in men. More »
