Male circumcision, the surgical removal of foreskin from the penis, has become almost a societal norm in the United States, with nearly four out of five males reporting that they’ve been circumcised.

In an upcoming study in the journal Biological Psychology, researchers at Northwestern University found that bisexual men are, indeed, bisexual.

S&M (sadism and masochism) references abound in popular culture, from racy rom-coms to Rihanna music videos.

It’s no secret that society wants older men to be the same sexual stallions that they were in their 20s. With Jimmy Johnson (Extenze), and Hugh Hefner (Playboy) leading the salt-and-pepper herd, men in their 50s and 60s are supposed to continue being sexually active.

The new NSSHB is out! No, I’m not talking about the latest New Kids on the Block. It’s the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior. This is the biggest sex survey conducted and published since 1994’s National Health and Social Life Survey, which was, like, so ‘90s.
