This forum serves as a place for us all to post links to Just Cool Science articles upon which we happen, and on which discussion may or may not take place.
Articles, synopses, abstracts, all of these are welcome in this thread. The general idea is for the articles to be peer-reviewed research, and preferably (though it's not mandatory) to be topical to SitPS.
Please provide a link to wherever the science was found, a DOI if you have it, or whatever source information is relevant.

What did or didn't you learn about sex when you were growing up? How do we talk about sex to those growing up after us? And is there sex after sixty?

Kinkiness isn't all there is to our lives. How do our sex lives integrate into our whole lives? How much do we compartmentalize? Where do we see connections?

You think you closed the bedroom door.... but what you do in private is often of "public" concern to the law.

The law arbitrarily defines ages at which we can and cannot do certain things from voting to sex to consenting to medical procedures. How does this affect your life and the lives of those you care about?

It's hard to be totally neutral about porn. And there are so many kinds of porn. This is the place for discussing the making of the images that get us off and the ones that turn us off.

They say on the Internet nobody knows you're a dog. How important is it that our online personas match our offline lives? And why does open talk about sex so often seem to require anonymity?
|

Our categories for sexual orientation don't seem to capture the variety of orientations people have to sex. Is it still useful to claim that the most important piece of our sexual identities has to do with the gender of our partners?

This is a "developers only" forum and shouldn't be visible to people without editor or administrator roles. If you feel inclined to help solve any of these problems or look into how to improve the site, there is tons of info on the main Drupal site: http://drupal.org Also, please tag every post you make with "developers' center." I'm trying to use a taxonomy control (category-level access control) to keep this private. One other thing: If you create a new forum topic, please scroll down to "publishing options" and expand that menu. Make sure to DESELECT "promote to front page." I haven't yet figured out how to keep that from being the default setting. |
