Since the dawn of civilization, the penis has been a symbol of power, fertility, and man’s primeval instinct to mate. Cracked.com profiles five inspiring religions that worshiped  the penis.

Some articles demand a profound introduction. Others … not so much. If we were a different website we might use this space to talk about how America is the biggest penis-worshiping-religion of them all. But we’re not that website (in case yesterday’s bowl of penises didn’t tip you off). We assure you, this is no metaphor. You will find no pop psychology or vaguely phallic imagery in this article. These are religions that worship human penises. Learn from them. Read more

Who says women can’t be as pathetic as men? A 41-year-old female teacher sent sexually explicit photos of herself to a 15-year-old male student, and as anyone who read this post could have predicted, he forwarded the images to his friends.

Perhaps New Hampshire high school teacher Melinda Dennehy missed the orientation session when they explained that sending your naked photos to a student is sort of a bad idea.

Police say the 41-year-old English teacher sent four sexy shots of herself to a 15-year-old male student at Londonderry High School. The student, it seems, thought that was pretty nifty. Police say he forwarded the images to his friends. Read more

The Sun selects its favorite films of 2009 with nude scenes.

One we’re finding pretty hard to choose from this little line-up.

To celebrate the real thing this Sunday, we’ve created our own take on the Oscars – the Oscorrs.

It’s a selection of films from the last year with the naughtiest and best nude scenes.

Films nominated include The Informers, for its steamy scenes starring Amber Heard (pictured above) and Bad Lieutenant, scopping an award for Eva Mendez’s very perfect bottom. Read more

Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke claims that he once bedded fourteen women in one night in London. In my opinion, the most amazing thing about this is that Mickey Rourke was able to find fourteen women actually willing to have sex with him.

The 57-year-old bragged that Ashley Cole’s antics had nothing on his own raging libido and claimed footballers were “pussycats”.

The Wrestler star told TV host and WAG Lizzie Cunday: Forget Ashley Cole, his behaviour has nothing on a film star. WAGs get an easy time – they should try living with Hollywood hellraisers.”

“I once spent a weekend in the UK and 14 women in one night.” Read more

Sexting is the slang term for the use of a cell phone or other similar electronic device to distribute pictures or video of sexually explicit images. You might expect your sext message to remain private, but nearly one in five sext recipients report that they have passed the images along to someone else. What do you think would happen when a girl sends her nude photo to the entire hockey team?

So does sexting — sending sexually explicit messages or pictures over those pocket-sized connectivity machines that I think the young kids refer to as “cell phones” — really happen? Is it a big deal? Yes. And yes.

Apart from finally being able to eviscerate my wallet of the string of fake ID personalities I have adopted over the years, my 21st birthday brought along another interesting gift. “Happy birthday babe :-),” read the text on the screen, but that wasn’t really what I was paying attention to. My eyes were fixated on the perfectly tanned canvas of skin spanning from neck to feet. Perfectly tanned, perfectly nude skin. Happy birthday, indeed. Read more

Pheromones may draw you to the mate with the healthiest immune system. The secrets of attraction may lie in immune system DNA that’s sensed through sweat.

Here’s some new information about the science of attraction: Your body odor may provide your mate with subconscious clues about the strength of your immune system.

Researchers from the University of Western Australia, reporting in the journal “Animal Behavior,” say that whether or not the object of your desire finds you irresistible may depend on how sweet your sweat smells, according to a report in the Daily Mail. A woman’s sweat holds genetic information that signals to a potential hubby whether their offspring would possess the best chance of fighting off illness.

The more varied a woman’s histocompatibility, or MHC, genes are, the more attractive she appears to the opposite sex. Read more

Good Vibrations interviews sex educator Lolo Winters about her work and the most common question she is asked.

What led you to become a sex educator?

When I was seventeen years old I began volunteering with  P.E.P., a Peer Education Program, where high school aged students  visit  high schools in the area  and educate about HIV/STI prevention. The first day I joined, the woman who discovered the program, Wendy Arnold,  came into the room hysterical because her best friend of 20 years had just passed away from AIDS. I knew right then that I was going to dedicate my life to sexual health education. I wanted to do everything in my power to educate about sexuality so people could live long, happy, pleasurable lives.   I have continued to be a sexual health educator since that day. Read more

This is disappointing news. A new study suggests that women’s natural scent may be more seductive than perfume. When I think of all the money I’ve spent on perfume over the years…

Women looking for that special someone might want to think twice before spritzing Chanel No. 5. A new study suggests that a woman’s natural scent may be all she needs.

Recent research shows that a man’s testosterone levels, which are linked with sexual interest, are significantly higher when they smell the shirt of a woman who is ovulating. These findings could lead to the development of new fragrances that mimic this effect, and answer basic questions about human biology.

“This is an issue that has been hotly debated: whether or not ovulation is concealed in human females,” said Jon Maner, a co-author of the recent paper in Psychological Science. “In lots of other species, there are very obvious indicators, but it has long been assumed that human females didn’t give off these cues.” Read more
