The hair down there

October 07, 2009 | Lucy Moore

We’re all too familiar with the hair “down there.” You know, the stuff that wasn’t there when we were kids. The hair that makes you think twice before you put on a bathing suit, and—hopefully—makes you think three times before you decide to participate in a naked run. That’s right: pubic hair. Whether you have [...]

Mile High Club Etiquette

September 30, 2009 | Lucy Moore

Say you’re sitting next to a hunky gentleman in a tie. He’s reading some fiction piece from the New Yorker behind almost-hipster glasses. His perfectly-muscular forearm brushes against yours, as you both move for the shared armrest. You’re in seat 14E, and he’s 14F—and all you can think about is how he might be secretly [...]

Three’s Company: Or is it?

September 23, 2009 | Lucy Moore

The “threesome,” typically thought of as the sexual scenario of two women, one man and one bed, seems to be the go-to fantasy of the everyday male in the United States. I mean, if I were one Javier Bardem surrounded by the passion-gripped bodies of Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz, it would be mine, too. [...]

Explorations in genital piercings

September 16, 2009 | Lucy Moore

While most Washington University students cringe at my mention of genital piercing, offering a “No comment” or an “Ew!”, these piercings are a common form of physical expression, whether for decoration or to enhance physical pleasure. In fact, genital piercing dates back to 19th-century England, when Queen Victoria’s husband Prince Albert allegedly pierced a ring through his penis to emphasize the bulge in his pants.

Sex, smell and the genome

September 09, 2009 | Lucy Moore

There are many attractive people in the world, but why one finds one fish more gorgeous than the cornucopia of others in the sea has long been a mystery to both the average sexual being and the scientist.

The culture of sexting

September 02, 2009 | Lucy Moore

Most college students define “sexting” not as this sordid way of spreading young nudity, but as a way of communicating feelings of intimacy toward a partner when separated. While in class or at a party, the conveyed desire is just a T9-touch away.

Shejaculation!

November 21, 2008 | Lucy Moore

If you can read this, you haven’t shejaculated all over your computer or newsprint yet.

Turn on the light

November 03, 2008 | Lucy Moore

If you could design sex, how would it feel? Would it be super tight, ultratight? Ribbed, or bumpy? Would it be anal, vaginal, or oral? For those afraid, uninformed, or simply uninterested in sex toys, you may have never heard of a fleshlight, one of the more popular male sex toys that transcends sexual orientation. [...]

Oral Sex

September 15, 2008 | Lucy Moore

On the first day of health class in the sixth grade at my all-girls high school, the most outgoing student walked straight up to the counselor and principal and asked, “What does sperm taste like?” You’d think a 12-year-old would start with, “When am I supposed to start wearing a bra,” or, “What’s third base?” [...]

Internet of hentai

August 29, 2008 | Lucy Moore

Hentai, in Japanese, is a word generally indicating perversion. Literally, it means “abnormal attitude,” or in slang, “weirdo.”
