Most Americans remain sexually active into their 60s, and nearly half continue to have sex regularly into their early 70s, researchers are reporting today as a result of the most comprehensive national survey to date of sexual behavior among older adults.

Halloween may be a time when we delight in scaring ourselves, but a California county has taken extra measures to keep one particular bogeyman away: sex offenders. They can forget the fake cobwebs, toothy pumpkins and bags of candy — because the Tulare County Board of Supervisors has passed a new measure banning sex offenders from decorating for Halloween or answering the door for trick-or-treaters.

In other words, Craigslist can be used to facilitate child prostitution. The operators of Craigslist say they care, and they no longer accept ads for adult services. Well, sort of. Craigslist stopped running adult services ads in the United States Sept. 3. But while the ads no longer run in America, those looking to peddle children’s flesh don’t have to go far. The ads still run in Canada and other foreign countries. Continue reading
Negative news, from crime to the shaky financial system, might grab the most headlines. But in the world of Facebook sharing, it seems that positive stories trump negative ones — and sex still sells.

She may be wildly overexposed, and tiresome in her predictable unpredictability, but it’s hard to dislike the pop star after her speech at a rally late Monday to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell.” There were moments of pure camp — she declared equality “the prime rib of America,” in a reference to her infamous meat dress — but she also managed to make a decent, respectable point: Continue reading
It’s hard to believe today, when women argue for and against their favorite lesbian films and compile rival top 10 lists, that not long ago there were no LGBT film festivals, no lesbian and gay sections at the video store, and no books cataloguing queer-themed films. Lesbian sex scenes outside of the porn industry only rarely made it onto the big screen, and when they did, it was likely in some obscure foreign film that played for one weekend at a small art house in New York City.
