A recent study found that men and women are blogging in pretty much equal numbers; however, the topics on which they blog tend to be split down gender lines (for instance, more women write cooking and mothering blogs, while more men write political blogs). Perhaps the numbers will even out in the future, but at least it appears that both men and women are equally accessing and utilizing the internet as a resource. Follow us on Twitter @mysexprofessor.

Evaluating Sex Research On The Internet
How reliable is the internet as a tool for sex research? This write-up on a new book, A Billion Wicked Thoughts by Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam, summarizes the research and asks some questions about the methodology. In my opinion, though, the study is not as sound as it’s made out to be. The authors let themselves be guided by the most popular internet queries about sex, and from there conducted some interviews and hung out in topical web forums. However, the authors had some shady strategies, as detailed in this Neurocritic article on the study. The authors did not have Institutional Review Board approval for the study of human subjects, which is basically mandatory for scholarly research that involves living people. Continue Reading →
Wii Dares What Kinect Won’t
In a previous post of mine, I conjectured that it would be a long time before we see a Rock Band type game looking at sex and sexual activity. Well, I have been proven wrong! This article talks about the parents who are up in arms since a company released a sexy Truth or Dare game for the Nintendo Wii. Check out the commercial – it seems like tame fun that could lead to other things! What do you about this? Like Violet Blue, the NSFW bloggess that led me here, does this entice you to purchase and/or dust off the Wii? Or perhaps something to use the Wii for now that your Wii Fit board is languishing unloved in the corner? Or is this normal adult/teen antics for the virtual video game age?

New Ways to Kinect
As a follow-up to the wonderful article on Vagina Hero, I wanted to share this:
Penny Arcade, one of the gamer communities’ flagship webcomics, is at times both hilarious and offensive. Is also occasionally impenetrable as well, especially if you aren’t versed in gamer speak. Fortunately, I am more l33t than n00b, so I am able to keep up with at least half of what they say. Continue Reading →
Customized Luxury Sex Toys
A new business, Made to Pleasure, offers a variety of sex toys, some ready for purchase and some–more intriguingly–customizable. An interview with the one of the creators of the business describes how the design-your-own-sex-toy boutique works, and how and why the creators constructed their website to meet the varied needs of their customers. I’d love to see how a customized toy turns out! Follow us on Twitter @mysexprofessor. Follow Jeana, the author of this post, @foxyfolklorist. Continue Reading →
