Dr. Seuss is infinitely quotable, as anyone who read him as a child (or to a child) knows. But we had no idea he also wrote charming love quotes!

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

- Dr. Seuss

When asked How much do you pay for sex? most readers would probably reply: I don’t pay for sex! Not true, says online magazine nerve, which asked 9 singles and non-singles to document their spendings on sex - in the widest sense.

The cost count includes everything that is even vaguely tied to sex. So we’re not really talking about sex for sale, just the cost of sexual relations, even if those relations are not directly associated with financial transactions.

When you count it that way, it really adds up – one of the single women pays almost 1000 Dollars “for Sex” - but if you look closely at the numbers, that sum gets put into perspective. More »

The Durex sex study is focussing on “the big O” this year – it’s all about orgasms. The sex study is based on data collected in a worldwide survey, allowing a comparison of the sex lives of men and women across the world.

Nigerian and Mexican women seem to be the lucky ones when it comes to orgasms. Over 70% orgasm regularly, compared to a worldwide 30% average for women and only 10% in Japan!

Germany, um, slept its way to the top spot of the worldwide orgasm charts with the highest average of men and women who have orgasms regularly. More »

What results did a search for matchmaking yield in a search engine in 2001? Obviously, not that many. Online matchmaking wasn’t even a twinkle in online startups’ eyes and there were less websites overall. A search for matchmaking in Google only resulted in 116,000 search results in 2001. The top 10 results are either sites that no longer exist or not quite online matchmaking as we know it today.

How do we know? Google has built itself a time machine to celebrate its 10th birthday and set up a search engine based on the 2001 index, which you can use to google yourself, Paris Hilton or, should you wish to do so, matchmaking. More »

It seems like a no-brainer: sexuality involves sex, period (no pun intended). Heterosexuality = sex with the opposite sex, Homosexuality = Sex with the same sex, Bisexuality = Sex with both sexes, etc. Obviously, that’s extremely simplified and ignores the fact that some people may identify as hetero-, homo- or whatever-sexual, but don’t actually have sex (temporarily or permanently, voluntarily or involuntarily). Their sexuality is, however, defined by their (albeit theoretical) sexual preferences.

Recently there’s been quite a few media reports about asexuality. Asexuality appears to be a contradiction in terms, because it’s a sexuality without sex. More »

It’s always funny when kids try to explain the world, especially when they’re trying to tell us what love is, how it’s done and how people act when they’re in love. You may know these funny quotes from kids telling us what love is already (some of them sounded very familiar to), but I’ve got another one, from personal eavesdropping on my cousins (who were watching a couple kiss):

cousin 1: “Look! They’re kissing,”

cousin 2: “No! They’re licking.”

Well, that puts an end to French kissing in public 

You can usually tell if a woman (or a man, for that matter) has just had an orgasm: red cheeks, a smile, that special glow, and widened pupils are dead giveaways… However, a recent sexology study indicates that you can actually tell if a woman is capable of orgasms - vaginal orgasms, to be exact.

Sex education is important, most will probably agree. Of course parents need to take on at least some of the responsibility for the sex education of their teenage kids. Nevertheless, conversations about sexual education between kids and parents are embarrassing for everyone involved (as most people can probably remember when they cast their mind back to that painful conversation about the birds and the bees). So one might wonder if the idea proposed by MTV, to televise those conversations about sex education with mum and dad, is so clever. That sounds like more public embarrassment than your average „I’m a Celebrity…“.

But(!) sex education can actually be fun, without being embarrassing at all, as this video proves:

Last week, we got some advice on aging gracefully from Brigitte Bardot, this week Lucy Ball has a great tip on not aging gracefully:

“The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.”

— Lucille Ball

In this Wonderbra ad, a sexy scientist turns into a sexy stripper - thanks to the sex bom gene she discovers under the microscope, which then turns into a Wonderbra, which turns her lab coat into sexy lingerie and… well, the details are a little sketchy, but the sexy scientist turns into a sexy stripper, but not just any sexy stripper - she turns into Dita von Teese, the new Wonderbra spokesmodel. Obviously, performing in her underwear is second nature to the professional stripper. Now she’s branching out into lingerie design - and making sure her own designs sell well with this spot
