While America's elected officials have whiled their days away bickering about budgets, the prime minister of the U.K. has had his hands full—with a war on pornography. Unfortunately, some of the country's sex ed, porn addiction and domestic abuse resources are collateral damage. » 12/19/13 3:00pm 12/19/13 3:00pm

Last week, students at Richardson High School in Texas took to social media to voice their annoyance with Justin Lookadoo, a super right wing whackadoo sex ed lecturer whose deliberate anti-sex lies were almost as offensive as his as-styled-by-Guy Fieri's afterbirth hair. But Texans aren't the only people being messed… » 11/18/13 12:30pm 11/18/13 12:30pm

Seriously, dum-dums, how many times do we have to go over this? Condoms do not cause sexy intercourse any more than seat belts cause car accidents. Adding yet another voice to this "conversation," which has seemingly been raging since the invention of penises, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on… » 10/28/13 8:30pm 10/28/13 8:30pm

When I was a teenager, which I like to think was not that long ago, there were no one-on-one co-ed sleepovers, although I do remember a whole lot of drama over a handy given at a New Year's Eve slumber party while everyone else was sleeping. (Not by me.) Nobody even thought to ask. (Not that I was hanging out with,… » 8/10/13 1:04pm 8/10/13 1:04pm

It's certainly not The Joy of Sex, but Aristotle's Complete Master-Piece, published in 1766, has been credited as the first sex guide to be published in America. A read of some excerpts certainly fills one with the feeling that despite the sad state of affairs that is sexual education in the United States right now, at … » 8/09/13 4:50pm 8/09/13 4:50pm

Whenever people talk about how their parents explained to them how babies were born, there's always a multitude of ridiculous stories. Some got updated lessons every year, which increased in detail as they aged, as it became "more appropriate" but also "more awkward" to do so (me).

Germans are notoriously comfortable with sex and nudity. Go to any beach around the world and there's a 93.2% chance that the first grandpa to take his speedo off is German. So when a bunch of parents in Berlin got uppity about a sex-ed book, it definitely means something. » 4/26/13 2:10pm 4/26/13 2:10pm
