SexGeeks|SexGeeks: Pheromones, Risky Behavior, and Vaginal Depth Episode
Here's the latest installment(1hr 3mins, 29.5MB).Here are all the links to things we talked about.Rob mentioned aninteresting studythat was conducted in 1996 relating partner selection to immune systems that seems to have at least a mild effect on humans.Rob talked abouta study done on a high schoolthat ultimately produced some cool maps on the sex links between people attending the school. Rob commented on how there were fewer bisexual and gay relationships reported than one might expect.Rob also talked about anarticlethat indicates a treatment for helpingpost-menopausal women to have "normal" sex drives seems on the horizon (a testosterone spray), but that it's initial uses may go towards bringing young women with low sex drives because of low testosterone levels, back up to "normal".Rob mentioned in passing aWired articlethat indicates that a female equivalent of Viagra may be more difficult to create.We talked about anop-ed piece in the New York Timesdiscussing howthe focus on children in the US interferes with the sex lives of parents.Lindsay brought upanother New York Times articlethat discusses the rise of risky sex behavior, a new strain of HIV, and how it isbecoming increasingly difficult to target those engaging in risky behavior.Lindsay mentioned theSeattle Erotic Art Festival, running from April15th to the 17th in Seattle, Washington.Rob wondered about men's obsession with penis length, and decided todo a quick search to see what the average vaginal depth was. It turnsout that it is between 3 inches and 5.5 inches (the latter whenaroused), so the fact that the average man's penis is between 5 and 6inches, it would seem, should mean that most men should feelcomfortable about being sufficient for most women. Lindsay pointedout that obsession with length is really focusing on the wrong aspectof sex. A good partner will overcome any perceived shortcomings ofhis apparatus. While on the topic, Rob looked up the averagecircumference of a man's penis and found that it's about 5 inches.Rob found theinformation about vaginal depthin a strange place, on a transexual site discussion sexual reassignment surgery, where it appears that men considering becoming women suffer from some of thesame issues that unmodified men do, wanting deeper vaginal cavities much the way some men want bigger penises.We've started adel.icio.us accountfor bookmarking things we are thinking of talking about on the show as we run across them.
