Havelock Ellis

by Jason Stotts I recently started reading Havelock Ellis’s Studies in the Psychology of Sex (if you don’t know who he is, he’s very important for sexual theory; see the wikipedia article linked). So far, I’m greatly enjoying them and I’ve only just begun!  In fact, I think I may love Ellis. Here’s some of [...]

Polysexuality and Cultural Acceptability

The current US population is 313,914,040 people, 313 million people. If you put all those polysexual people in one state it would be the 5th most populated state in the US.

Ten Things Didn’t Know About Orgasm by Mary Roach

by Jason Stotts In this interesting video of Mary Roach at TED, she talks about orgasm and you’ll definitely learn something new from it.

Sex at Dawn

by Jason Stotts I’ve recommended the book Sex at Dawn a number of times now, both in person and online.  It’s a very interesting book about the sexual history of the human species and I think it proves that humans are not naturally monogamous.  I highly, and enthusiastically, recommend it, even though it does contain [...]
