The study found that more than two-thirds of female short-nosed fruit bats (Cynopterus sphinx) performed fellatio on their sexual partners, and that they were rewarded with longer bouts of intercourse as a result.

Previously, the only animals known to carry out oral sex – apart from humans – were bonobo chimpanzees.

Go home perverts. This is science. Interesting stuff for sure, beyond the obvious bat blow job snickering. Its easy to see how this trait would have evolved, with the fellating females having a clear reproductive advantage. It would not surprise me if this is now found in other species, if people think to look for it. Might it have some implications on the practice in humans? Possibly, but its worth noting that the fruit bats are combining fellatio with intercourse at the same time. Even if this were physically possible, the second, more important observation, is that it prolongs intercourse. Personally, I don’t quite see this happening for humans.

The authors cite a 2007 study conducted by Dr. Miller, who looked at the earnings pattern of 18 strippers who kept track of their lap-dance tips through two menstrual cycles. Ovulating dancers made $20 (U.S.) more an hour than their non-ovulating colleagues, Dr. Miller found.

Papua New Guinea police are hunting the leader of a sex cult that promised villagers a bumper banana harvest if they engaged in public sex.

The alert was raised after a villager from Yamina in Morobe province walked 12 hours to the nearest town to report the cult’s activities.

IMDB says Winona Ryder is in the cast. WTF? Stuff is going to disappear from set.

P.S. New Uhura is super sexy (so was old Uhura, but that was 40 years ago)

This one’s a warning from Charles Putnam to Brother Greg and goes all the way back to 1965. Perversion for Profit is a so-called “moral hygiene” film on the subversion of American youth through sex, pornography, and of course the godless march of communism. Classic narrative. Very funny. Second most popular download from the famous Prelinger Archives.

Best line: ”Taking a girl’s cherry is a hell of a gratifying thing. So is murder.”

What is clear is that Iraqi’s have too much time on their hands. And when did they get computers anyway? I prescribe a few dozen more car bombs, and perhaps a fanatical regime that hates computers.

NewScientistTech: Radio-controlled sperm ‘tap’ turns off vasectomies

“…a team from the University of Adelaide, Australia, may have come up with a more easily reversed alternative. They have designed a small radio-controlled valve that would “push-fit” snugly inside the vas deferens and block the passage of sperm.”
