Pleasure and "Choosing" Whether To Have An Orgasm - Why Women Deserve Just A Little Better
Inspired by a blog post from the author of, “What’s Up Down There? Questions You’d Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend,” I consider women and the “choice” to orgasm with a partner - “While acknowledging that women can enjoy and find pleasure in sex without orgasm, we should also be working to make the choice to have or not to have an orgasm an actual viable choice for women.”
A critique of "Hard Core," an article by Natasha Vargas-Cooper

Crappy Science Reporting With Their Outrageous, Alarming Titles Piss Me Off
“Too often, a mostly level-headed, peer reviewed scientific study is discovered by the pop media, and we the public get a shock title that either has nothing to do with the content of the actual study or highlights a tiny mention of future goals or related possibilities that the scientists who wrote the study by no means endorse in the study. “
