• "Age-old images about sexual behavior continue to prevail in New Jersey."

  Men in New Jersey say they're getting it on more often than the women in the Garden State: "Age-old images about sexual behavior continue to prevail in New Jersey," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. "But the results on gender-based differences in sexual activity do raise an interesting question: If men are indeed having sex more often than women in New Jersey, are they going out of state to do it?"    That or they're doing each other. Seriously, age-old images about sexual behavior must also be prevailing in Mr. Murray's mind. Or maybe, like Iran, there are no homosexuals in New Jersey.

• Dirty, Sexy Shopping

  People, especially male people, are more likely to buy crap from attractive sales ladies. In fact, men are likely to buy dirty clothes from pretty people. Those of us who have gone out of our way to keep pheromone-soaked t-shirts from landing in the wash see no problem with this.

• You Can Run, You Can Hide, But You Can't Escape Enrique Iglesias' Lust

  Hey, remember Enrique Iglesias? He's a singer, is 32, has been in love ten times, wants to spread the message that you don't have to be in love to have fun in the bedroom, and claims he's not at all like his father Julio Igelsias, known for being a ladies' man.

• Stars: They're Just Like Us, Googling and Thinking About Sex, Julie Delpy Edition

  While this would be much more digestible in a brightly-colored layout in Us Weekly with callouts coming from her throat ("She googles her symptoms and is convinced she has throat cancer!") and vajayjay ("She thinks about sex!"), this Herald Sun profile of Julie Delpy will have to do.

• Simple Math: Funny Girls Have Better Sex

  Today, the BBC reported that aggressive humor is largely dependent on testosterone levels: Professor Shuster believes humour develops from aggression caused by male hormones. He documented the reaction of over 400 individuals to his unicycling antics through the streets of Newcastle upon Tyne. Almost half of people responded verbally - more being men. Very few of the women made comic or snide remarks, while 75% of the men attempted comedy - mostly shouting out "Lost your wheel?", for example. And back in February, they reported that women with higher levels of testosterone have better sex: "But many younger women also report having low sexual interest and enjoyment and traditionally," she said. "This has been explained away as being caused by relationship issues, depression or other life circumstances. But now we know for many women the underlying problem is biological. If further studies reconfirm the benefits we have seen, the [testosterone] spray could make an enormous difference to the quality of many women's lives." So if a = b and b = c then a = c? We know that equation is so off, but it should go something like that. Anyone out there recently taken the LSAT and want to help with this one?

• Power Through SAD With Sex or Light, If You Have To

  It's cold here in New York. Cold, cold. Cold like someone put ice cubes in our undies cold. And the days are about to get shorter, and probably colder, so to prepare for a bunch of depressed New Yorkers The New York Times today explores SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder: As daylight wanes, millions begin to feel depressed, sluggish and socially withdrawn. They also tend to sleep more, eat more and have less sex. The Times suggests lamps. And if you don't have plans to have amazing sex all winter long, go find a lamp. Now. A really bright one. Because it's about to get dirty, and not in a good way. We've been there and it's not pretty. But really, try and make the dark work for you (read: sex, lots of it).

• What Would You Rather?: Sex v. Scrabulous

  We find this hard to believe, but a UK tabloid is reporting that a recent study found that women are more interested in puzzles on the computer than sex. Now, in the past six months, we've spent far more time playing Scrabulous on Facebook than doin' it, but not exactly by choice. Scrabulous just happens to be more easily accessible. We suspect these women are having bad sex, because in that case, yeah, we'd probably choose puzzles, too.  Posted Dec 07 2007, 10:59 AM by Emily Farris with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: facebook, scrabulous, study, sex, puzzles
