‘Fertility Friendly’ Lube Can Harm Sperm, Study Claims

Many lubricants which claim to be sperm-safe could actually be harmful. A study found three lubes marketed as “sperm-friendly” can reduce motility, or their ability to swim in the right direction. Some products were found to reduce sperm motility, while others stopped sperm from being able to move altogether.

Traditional lubes have been shown to damage sperm motility because they are too acidic, which has led to an increase in demand for so-called “fertility-friendly” lubricants. These products cost up to four times more than traditional lube. Lead author of the study said: “This study is important because it highlights that these so-called sperm-friendly lubricants may actually hinder normal conception.”

Binging Porn Affects Men And Women Differently In Bed, Study Says

It seems men suffer—and women excel—by regularly indulging in adult entertainment. A new study has found frequent porn viewing can have disastrous effects on men’s sex lives, leaving them with low self-esteem, erectile dysfunction and an inability to satisfy their lovers. The research found that the more kinky videos a man watched over time, the more likely he was to report poor levels of sexual function.

Frequent male porn viewers had more problems maintaining erections and reaching ejaculation, and they reported lower levels of desire when it came time to have actual sex. Meanwhile, the study also surveyed thousands of women, and found the complete opposite: the more frequently a woman watched porn, the more likely she was to experience an increase in sexual self-competence, functioning and satisfaction. Researchers were unable to conclusively explain the reasons for this unexpected find but theorized it was due to the fact that women generally prefer softcore porn: “Men watch more hardcore/paraphilic porn and less softcore/mainstream porn than women . . . which may be associated with different sexual comparison processes and sexual outcomes.”

The Scientific Reason Why Men Fall Asleep After Sex

Science has a reason why so many men fall asleep after getting it on. In both men and women, sexual stimulation has been proven to boost brain activity. When we have sex we tend to be relaxed and in turn, we release a lot of stress and anxiety that may have been building up throughout the day.

But when looking at why men seem to fall asleep faster, it’s actually due to a cocktail of chemicals released when they cum. It’s the release of prolactin that makes a particular difference as this is linked to the feeling of sexual satisfaction: “This suggests a strong link between prolactin and sleep, so it’s likely that the hormone’s release during orgasm causes men to feel sleepy,” experts explain. They add, “For unknown reasons, intercourse orgasms release four times more prolactin than masturbatory orgasms.”

Women Who Make More Money Than Their Partner Are Twice As Likely To Fake Orgasms

It seems women might be “leaning in” to having successful careers—at the expense of their sex lives. A recent study found that women who make more money than their male partner are twice as likely to fake an orgasm. Women fear that men who earn less may have a “fragile sense of masculinity,” due to the long-held stereotype that men are the primary breadwinners.

As a result, researchers believe women try to alleviate the man’s financial insecurity and boost their ego by faking orgasms during sex. “Women are prioritizing what they think their partners need over their own sexual needs and satisfaction,” said the study’s lead author. “When society creates an impossible standard of masculinity to maintain, nobody wins,” they add.

Women Who Have More Sex Have Better Developed Brains, Study Says

It seems women with sex on the brain are actually smarter. Scientific researchers have identified the brain region linked to genital touch in women, finding that it is better developed in those who frequently fuck. The study scanned women’s brains using an MRI while they had their clits stimulated.

The researchers then measured the thickness of that brain area—finding it was more robust in the female volunteers who reported having the most sex. In other words: The more sex, the bigger the region of the brain called the “somatosensory cortex.” Researchers believe having a more developed somatosensory cortex is a result of “brain plasticity,” which happens when certain parts of the brain become bigger the more they are used.

Lara Rhoades was the most popular porn star internationally, followed by Abella Danger, Eva Elfie, Riley Reid and Mia Malkova. The adult site further revealed that Americans were the biggest porn consumers on the planet—Brits made up the second-largest share of Pornhub users, the Japanese placed in third, the frisky French came in fourth, while Italians rounded out the top 5. “Ebony” remained the most-viewed category of video for the second year running, ahead of “lesbian” and “MILF.”

People With Anxiety And Depression More Likely To Use ‘Sextech,’ Study Finds

People struggling with their mental health are more likely to explore digital sexual technologies, a study finds. Kinsey Institute experts say sextech helps these individuals find temporary relief. Examples of sextech include erotic webcam sites, virtual reality porn, or even just the capacity to share sexually explicit images or videos.

“It’s likely that many users in these spaces do have social support and adequate social networks, but they’re turning to online sexual technologies for a unique boost to their psychological mindset,” researchers say. “As the global need for innovative mental health resources and interventions increases, emerging sexual technologies may provide relief for people with mental health struggles.” The authors point out that sextech is not used by lonely people who can’t find sex in face-to-face relationships, but instead as an “important pathway for mental health intervention.”

Size Matters According To Gen Z And Millennials

Millennials and members of Generation Z are hung up on penis size, a new survey has found. A medical website quizzed 1,003 American adults of all ages about their penis preferences, and discovered younger respondents are more likely to say size matters in the bedroom. While 61% of Baby Boomers and 60% of Gen X’ers believed penis size was crucial to sexual pleasure, the numbers were noticeably higher among those in their 20s and 30s.

Almost three-quarters (74%) of Millennials said size is important between the sheets, while the number increased to a whopping 85% among members of Gen Z. Researchers believe porn is to blame for younger generations’ penis-prejudices: almost one in five straight men surveyed said porn was the biggest reason for body insecurity during sexual interactions. 41% of men and women believed a penis between 6 and 8 inches is best, while 31% said a smaller–sized dick—between 4 and 6 inches—was optimal.

You Can Tell A Woman’s Having Great Sex Just By The Way She Looks

It seems the mythic “sex-glow” is actually real, according to researchers. Experts agree that sex is good for you physically and emotionally, and that sex is good exercise. But a study at The Royal Edinburgh Hospital now confirms that people who have sex up to three times a week can look up to ten years younger than those who fuck less frequently.

It may keep your brain sharp, too: after interviewing about 2,000 people in their 70s, scientists in the Netherlands found that those who considered sex unimportant scored lower in problem-solving tests than those who thought sex was important. Not only does sex keep you looking and feeling young and fresh, it is shown to actually improve as you age—according to a 2013 survey, 71 per cent of over-50s report having a good sex life. That is up from 65 per cent in 2007, with post-menopausal women saying they become aroused faster and more easily than when they were younger.

Men Who Vape Are Twice As Likely To Have Erectile Dysfunction, Study Finds

New research published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine suggests male e-cigarette users are more than twice as likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction [ED] compared to non-vapers. The comprehensive study, conducted by doctors at New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, also included data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study. Researchers found that compared to the men who had never used an e-cigarette, vapers were 2.2-times more likely to report having experienced ED.

“Our analyses accounted for the cigarette smoking history of participants, including those who were never cigarette smokers to begin with, so it is possible that daily e-cigarette vaping may be associated with higher odds of erectile dysfunction regardless of one’s smoking history,” said the study’s lead author. Researchers went a step further by factoring out those with a prior history of cardiovascular disease—which is known to prompt ED due to poor blood circulation—and found e-cigarette users in this sample suffered ED at a rate of 2.4-times that of non-users. Researchers say they need to look into the relationship between ED and vaping further, but “our findings underscore the need to study patterns of e-cigarette use that are relatively safer than smoking.”
