Human sexuality

The centuries-old wall paintings discovered in Lupanar, a historic Pompeii brothel, have shed insight into the sexual activities of ancient Italians, with depictions of explicit sex acts.

The brothel was a hangout for the wealthy and powerful before the Roman city was wiped out by a volcanic eruption in 79 AD.

Attraction is about sex, or vice versa. And lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and pansexual are just some of the terms we use to describe our sexual orientation so we can navigate relationships more readily.

 
But now, to add confusion to chaos, there is new nomenclature for those who find intelligence attractive: sapiosexuality.

In a new bill that was passed unanimously, Malta has become the first European country to ban gay conversion therapy, and any medical professional found guilty of prescribing it will be slapped with a hefty fine or sent to prison.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan approved a bill on Dec. 2 that will gradually increase sentences for the sexual abuse of children nine days before a Constitutional Court annulment over the content of the crime goes into effect. 

According to the new law, there will be a distinction made between victims aged under 12 and those aged between 12 and 18.

You probably think you already know everything there is to know about sex and sexual satisfaction.

But did you know that orgasms can have the same effect on one’s brain as heroin, that a woman can have one while giving birth, or even that men climax three times more often than women?

A list of sexual acts have been officially banned from UK porn on account of being offensive, obscene or potentially ‘life endangering.’

 
Following the unopposed third reading of the Digital Economy Bill Tuesday in the House of Commons, it is highly likely that the bill concerning online pornography will become a law.

In an attempt to buy a home for her parents who will be evicted from their current house in February, an 18-year-old woman decided to sell her virginity.

 
Aleexandra Khefren decided to auction off her virginity for 1 million Euros in order to save her parents from ending up on the street. According to her, they have no idea of her contraversial rescue efforts.

The Turkish parliament's General Assembly has passed a code that would increase sentences meted out to sexual abusers on Nov. 24. 

According to the new code, child sexual abusers will be sentenced to jail between eight and 15 years. The sentence will be between three to eight years if no rape is in question.  

It was excellent to see women banding together and making their voices heard on the government's recent child sex abuse bill. They were able to solve part of this issue. But a significant part of it is still there.  

A recent piece posted on our site presented the 31 genders that New York officially recognised. It seems the authorities of the city will soon have to update their list and bump the number up by one to accommodate the newest gender identity: the ecosexual! An ecosexual is a hardcore lover of the environment who expresses their romantic feeling for Mother Earth.
