Brief History of Bad Things...

Make Love, Not Porn...

Interesting website, I'll be posting the pictures from it over the course of this week.

Kiss, Kiss...

Scientists on why kissing feels so good.

Teenager On Teenager Crime...

Violet Blue's editorial on the ridiculousness of charging teenagers for sex crimes for... doing things to other teenagers and documenting it. Stupid? Sure but a crime? Hardly:

Now if people under eighteen do the same thing with online tools and cell phones, they're being charged with trafficking child pornography or charged as sex offenders - even when they've taken the photos themselves.

In March 2004, a 15-year-old Pittsburgh girl was arrested for taking nude photographs of herself and posting them on the Internet; she was charged with sexual abuse of children, possession of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography. Okay, so maybe in 2004 the people interpreting these laws were slightly more ignorant about how the Internet works and that the legal system just needed to "catch up." Or so you'd think.

Defying the Odds...

Gulp:

Proud mother Carly O'Brien has beaten odds of 11.3 million to one to give birth to two sets of twins - despite being on the contraceptive pill.


The 22-year-old and her partner John Grant, 28, were amazed when she gave birth to her first set of twins Brandon and Daisy.


Now, two years on, Carly has stunned experts by giving birth to another miracle set of twins - Dylan and Lilly.

Can't Say I'm Surprised...

Are you?

A source present at today's White House signing ceremony for the Lilly Ledbetter bill tells me that President Obama gave assurances that the family planning aid would be done soon -- perhaps as soon as next week, when the House is set to take up a spending bill that would keep the government funded until October.


Obama emphasized that the family-planning aid "makes the budget look better, it's a money saver," the source said. In fact, removing the need for Medicaid waivers for family planning saves states an estimated $700 million over 10 years.

What Do Women Want?

New York Times Magazine has an awesome article on the age old question.

Like a Fine Wine...

Masturbation just gets better (for you) with age.
