First of all, this condom has a great name, Sensis. Saying the word reminds one of 'consensus' It is like we all got together and agreed there was a universal problem with condoms and we solved it together.

It was actually developed by Beau Thompson, a 44 year old man who lost his sexual momentum one night while taking too long to put a condom on. From the hype (and promotion) around Sensis I got the sense that these new type of condoms were designed to solve two problems that plague every condom user:

The Two Problems:

Men, are you wondering how to get a woman to become attracted to you?

Apparently, you can up the ante on  your chances of a woman being attracted to you by simply wearing the color RED.

288 women at Rochester University were shown pictures of a men in different digitally altered shirt colors and were asked to rate the men on various different traits. 

Overwhelmingly the women rated the men dressed in the red shirt as more "powerful", "attractive" and "sexually desireable".   This was NOT true for other traits such as "likeable", "kind" or "sociable".

Scientists find another reason sex is good for you!

And this one is a big one --- it reduces anxiety.

While examining the part of the brain that "sees" danger scientists at Princeton saw a suprising result.  They knew this part of the brain, the hippocampus, has been associated with anxiety, learning and memory.  With stress it shrinks in size, and (along with the amygdala) it is less able to differentiate what is dangerous and what causes us to be anxious.

Study shows that Vaginal Gel Reduces HIV Risk!
 
We are so relieved to see that after several years of testing microbicides that a gel actually is working to reduce the risk of contracting HIV in women.
A study in South Africa showed that a gel containing Tenofovir, an antiretroviral drug, reduces the risk of HIV infection by over 50%.
What makes this microbicide so exciting is that it is a simple gel that gives the woman the control over infection, if a condom is not an option.
In the 900 women in the study, 1/2 of the participants were given a gel and instructed to insert it before and after intercourse. The other 1/2 were given a placebo.
 
After 2.5 years of monthly HIV testing, 89 of the 900 women tested positive for HIV.  Of these 9.1% were in the placebo group, while only 5.6 % were in the Tenofovir gel group.  It also worked to protect the women against Herpes. 

Distracted During Sex?
How to Keep your Focus
 

Our lives get more and more filled with distraction every day -- from tweets and blog-posts to instantaneous news and emails that keep on popping up to grab our attention. The term ADHD, once only used to describe the most hyperactive 10 year-old boys, is now commonly applied to everyone -- big or small.

Our minds are so used to racing from one instant gratification to another that your hectic manner continues right into the bedroom. How does this affect sex? Alas, it means that it is getting more and more difficult to concentrate on our own sexual arousal - thus leaving us unable to focus long enough to have an orgasm.

Who has anal sex?  How and Why? An update on heterosexual anal sex facts

Anal sex is often thought of as an act of a homosexual man.  But according to the numbers in a new study, it is heterosexual couples that are having most of the anal fun.  
 

In fact, if you were to count up all of the people having anal sex at one time in the US there would be more heterosexual couples engaging in the act than homosexuals. And, they seem to be growing in numbers. 
 

Cummin At You Interactive 3D

A truly unique experience to watch explicit sex from a woman's perspective...

From all appearances, Cummin At You 3D is just another porno made by, and for, men --- only now in 3D.  But that would turn out to be deceiving.

Shortly into the movie, I got a surprising lesson on how not to  judge a porno by its DVD box. 

3D porn! Now, don't you immediately imagine large penises in your face and ejaculate shooting out just short of hitting you in the eye? Funny, maybe, but sexually arousing? Probably not.

The Story of the Hitachi Magic Wand

The Hitachi Magic Wand,  a "ball-top" massager made by one of the most conservative companies in the world (Hitachi), has managed to produce the most sought-after and reliable tool for orgasm in history! 

Originally, the Hitachi Magic Wand was designed to massage tense muscles.  It wasn't until 1973, with the help of a champion-for-female-masturbation that this strong electric massager made it into the sexual realm. 

How did the Hitachi get so famous?
