      Chile's Frisky Teens Kiss Off Conservative Ways of Old

      (Newser) - Chile's teenagers are going through a sexual rebellion unlike anything the once straight-laced Catholic country has ever seen before, the New York Times reports. Now parents and educators, who themselves grew up under the repressive Pinochet regime, are worried that sex education isn't keeping up with promiscuity fueled in part by the online boom. “Chile’s youth are clearly having sex earlier and testing the borderlines with their sexual conduct,” said one doctor.

      It's Official: Bikinis Make Men Stupid

      (Newser) - Men make dumb decisions when ogling bikini-clad beauties—conventional wisdom, sure, but now there's some science behind it. Belgian researchers found that men bombarded with sexy images have a definite drop-off in cognitive skills when compared with those who gaze at landscapes, reports MSNBC. The experiment supports earlier findings that arousal causes "a kind of tunnel vision" and may explain why sex sells so well. More »

      Teens' Public Orgies Rattle Chilean Mores

      (Newser) - Can 100 teenagers performing oral sex on one another in a public park not be a political statement? That's one of the questions the sight of horny, apolitical, bisexual Chilean teenagers are prompting among their appalled, mostly Catholic compatriots, Newsweek reports from a country still haunted by General Pinochet's repressive ghost, yet taking full advantage of his free-market legacy.

      Spanked Kids May Become Sex Aggressors: Study

      (Newser) - Though some 90% of American parents do it, spanking remains highly controversial, and research being released today will probably fan the flames, Newsweek reports. Heavily spanking kids has a major effect on their eventual sex lives, a new study finds, making them more likely to coerce a partner into having sex, avoid protection, or indulge in sado-masochistic play.

    • Sex, Please; We're Grandparents

      Sex, Please; We're Grandparents

      (Newser) - US grandparents are enjoying sex nearly as often as younger generations, concludes a surprising new study. Even couples in the 75-to-85-year age range reported having sex at least twice a month, with a quarter enjoying sex at least once a week. When there is a drop off in activity, it's more likely related to health problems or lack of a partner than to waning desire. More »

      Sex Is Most Common Cause of HIV in China

      (Newser) - Unsafe sex has become the most common means of transmission of HIV in China, edging out IV-drug use and blood transfusions, the BBC reports. That points to the need to focus prevention efforts on mainstream sexual practices—not just those of high-risk groups—which poses a daunting challenge in a country with conservative attitudes about sex.

      Camel Kills Owner in Apparent Mating Attempt

      (Newser) - A pet camel killed its Australian owner—purportedly after trying to mate with her. The camel, 10 months old but already weighing in at about 330 pounds, knocked the 60-year-old woman to the ground and lay on top of her. “I’d say it’s probably been playing, or it may be even a sexual sort of thing,” a policeman spokesman guessed.
