Researchers Find Association Between Watching Porn and Less Gray Matter in the Brain

“This is porn. This is your brain on porn. Any questions?” That’s what researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin asked in a new study which found that hours spent watching pornography was associated with less gray matter in the brain. For the investigation, scientists recruited 64 healthy males between the ages of 21-45, who mainly said that they did not watch more than four hours of x-rated material per week. Then the researchers scanned the men’s brains using MRI imaging while they watched porn—and the results were pretty shocking.

The study found that the men watching porn not only had a decrease of gray matter volume in their brains, but also had less functioning in the area of the brain used to process motivation. Still, the researchers cannot prove that porn is the direct cause, and they’ve said that they’ll need to conduct further studies before they are able to reach any sort of conclusion. One possible reason could be that excessive stimulation of the reward system altered the brain’s “neural plasticity.” Or perhaps, men with less gray matter in their brains require more stimulation, and find watching porn extremely rewarding. Whatever the reason, researchers will be looking into “your brain on porn” more rigorously in the future.

Enter a Giant Butthole in Japan

shortsexHave you ever longed to travel along with the Magic School Bus through a human body? Well, if you’re in Japan, you actually can—except instead of a body, you can just explore a giant anus! The exhibit, called Karada no Fushigi Daibouken 2015 (からだのふしぎ大冒険2015) or “The Mysterious Great Adventure of the Body 2015,” is promising to get people interested in science—literally through the endlessly fascinating wonders of the ass!

After walking through a giant butthole, you can also engage in other types of ass-play, such as going down a poop slide (poop shoot?)! The aim of the hands-on, ass-centric exhibit is to teach human biology by exploring how the body actually works. And what better way to do that than with anal exploration? Japan, thank you for helping us to bravely enter—slowly at first and with plenty of lubrication—your anal wonderland!

Looking for some fun and exciting experiences yourself? We are all about exploring the wonderful human body here!

Study Shows Watching Porn Promotes Safe Sex

condompinConsidering porn’s bad rap, especially Utah’s recent denouncement of it as an “epidemic,” many wouldn’t believe that adult entertainment actually promotes safe sex. But the porn industry just got a pretty unlikely endorsement—from science! A new study released by Columbia University shows that gay men who watch porn are actually sexually healthier than those who don’t.

The study surveyed 265 men who have sex with men, finding that those who watched porn were more likely to practice safe sex. “Among the 92 percent who reported watching condomless porn, nearly half admitted that the images had influenced them to have condomless sex. The men agreed that pornography depicting safe sex encouraged them to wear a condom as well,” reports the Daily Beast. What this means is that despite porn being labeled as “detrimental” and “dangerous,” it has the potential to help people to practice safe sex. So instead of denouncing porn, perhaps policy makers should be trying to positively influence behavior by making more sexually explicit images available. Thank you, science!

6 Ways For Guys to Improve Their Sex Lives, According to Science

frustrated coupleWhat if we told you that you don’t necessarily need to reach for that bottle of Viagra or the numerous other sexual enhancement treatments the next time you want to keep it rock hard for a marathon fuck fest? According to science, there are many other alternatives that can help you to up your sex game whether you struggle with premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction (ED), or a low sex drive. Here are 6 proven ways guys can improve their sex lives.

  1. Get some exercise
    Science has shown that men who are the most physically active have the best erectile function and sex drive. By incorporating either 2 hours of strenuous exercise or 6 hours of moderate exercise every week, you can expect serious results in the bedroom.
  2. Do kegels
    While you’re at it, don’t skip exercising your dick! Doing kegels not only helps with premature ejaculation and ED, but it can help you to become multiply orgasmic!
  3. Drink less booze
    “Whiskey dick” is real. Studies have shown that bouts of heavy drinking can lead to problems with getting an erection and reaching orgasm. And for those who regularly abuse alcohol, 72% reported sexual performance problems. While you don’t need to quit drinking, definitely drink in moderation.
  4. Stop smoking cigs and weed
    Research has shown that smokers, who make up just 28% of the population, make up a whopping 40% of those with ED. And those who smoke weed are also at risk for developing erectile problems, since cannabis inhibits receptors in the dick.
  5. Learn to love your dick (not literally)
    Over 50% of men reported feeling that their penis was too small. This self-consciousness can lead to performance anxiety during sex. The good news is your cock is probably perfectly normal. Not only that, but the vast majority of women say that they’re totally happy with their partner’s size.
  6. Use lube
    Using lube inside the condom contributes to more arousal. It enhances your pleasure and comfort while wearing it, and if you put some on the outside, it’ll feel amazing for your partner, too.

According to Science, Sleep More and Watch More Porn For a Better Sex Life

best_phone_sex_niteflirt_positionsWe have good news for anyone who wants to be at the top of their sexual A-game but doesn’t want to make drastic changes to their routine. According to two new studies that looked at factors affecting those with sexual dysfunction problems, sleeping more and watching more porn might just be what the doctor ordered. For women, a little more time in between the sheets—sleeping, that is—could help them to want to get it on more; and for men, watching more porn could help to jump start their libidos.

One study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that for every extra hour a woman slept, she increased her chances of wanting to have sex by 14 percent. And for men, the study found that watching porn may increase “…desire and arousal in normal, real-life sexual situations with their partners.” So, despite the myth that porn desensitizes men and decreases their need for the real thing, the opposite may actually be true: “Viewing more sex films was associated with a stronger sex drive, including the desire to have sex with a partner, so sex films may be able to ‘stoke the fire,’” said one researcher. If anything these studies show that porn (and a good night’s rest!) can definitely have a place in a healthy sexual relationship.
