Why You Should Cuddle
By Elite Daily (reposted at The Good Men Project)
Cuddling is a pretty stellar activity. It usually involves a nice, comfy bed. You’re usually with someone you care about. And there’s probably a television somewhere in your proximity. Not to mention, it almost always segues into either sex or sleep, sometime soon after. Read the rest of this entry

Porn Can Cause E.D.?
Porn can cause E.D.
One day I mentioned in class that, strangely, porn can cause E.D.

Some couples have strong and satisfying sex lives, over many years.
How does that happen?
A large study on long-term relationships and sexual satisfaction will be published soon in the Journal of Sex Research. Researchers spoke with the Wall Street Journal about the the upcoming article, and here are some highlights. You can go to WSJ.com for a more in-depth discussion. Read the rest of this entry

Care-Less Sex
Couldn’t care less sex
Hook-up sex should be careless. You’re not supposed to:
- carefully think about whether to have sex
- choose your partner carefully

Strong Men Can’t Cope With Breakups?
Kelsey Annese, killed by enraged ex-boyfriend.
Why do some men feel like it’s a male thing to be “stronger than a woman,” but when a relationship ends, it’s often the man who “can’t cope”?
Why do some guys handle their distress with violence?
Why do some men feel entitled, yet have such low self-esteem that they explode after a breakup?

Ogling: Boys Will Be Boys?
Boys will be boys?
“Boys will be boys,” said one third of the women who answered my survey on ogling.

Am I “Doing It” Right?
Hannah and Adam from HBO’s Girls
HBO’s “Girls” is an exploration of young women’s sexuality today, so I was struck by a scene that the New York Times’ Frank Bruni described as being all about what “he” wants “her” to do:
(“Hannah’s”) back is to her boyfriend, who seems to regard her as an inconveniently loquacious halfway point between partner and prop, and her concern is whether she’s correctly following instructions.
‘So I can just stay like this for a little while?’ she asks. ‘Do you need me to move more?’
