Unusual Complex Sex in Octopus Species
	Octopuses may be the brains of the sea, but not the sea lovers. They really give a new perspective to the phrase "the male is just a tab of the penis." A new study made at the University of California, Berkeley, and published in the journal "Marine Biology," shows that at least one species of octopus& ... [read more >>]

Circumcision Does Not Protect Men Against Sexually Transmitted Diseases
	Besides the issues concerning penis sensitivity loss (or not), circumcision is regarded by many as being a hygienic operation. Some like to see in it as an anti-HIV weapon. But despite the myth surrounding circumcision, it appears that the procedure does not protect men against common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the developed world, as revealed by a new study published in the "Journal of Pediatrics."

Breakthrough: The Molecule Causing Priapism Has Been Detected
	Many men cannot maintain an erection even for a few seconds. Others cannot get rid of it. Priapism is prolonged penile erection in the absence of sexual arousal; the penis does not return to its flaccid state, even if there is no excitation, within about four hours. Even kings have been affected by this, like Carol II of Romania. A new research has connected priapism to adenosine, a molecule involved in energy transfers inside the cell. ... [read more >>]

Dead Men Can Really Have Erection! Sometimes They Ejaculate, too...
	What many people do not know is that the erection is a passive action. In fact, when men do not have erection, the penis makes an effort: the smooth muscles of the arteries at the base of the penis must stay contracted, in order to impede the blood filling the penis. (In fact, most aphrodisiacs, including Viagra, contain a chemical(s) that relax these muscles). No wonder dead people can have erections. A death erection (also n ... [read more >>]
