Nothing New

The media is so repetitive. I think we all know that, but especially with sexual research. It’s an echo chamber for the same damn information I find everywhere. The only place I have found some decent information is from Cory Silverberg at about.com. But seriously, can we get off the effects of marijuana on sexual performance, or drugs in general? Can we move on from abstinence only and into something more original? I have heard that housework done by the husband will get him laid more hundreds of times, do we really need to say it again? I know that people with abnormal IQs tend to have less sex, can you tell us why now?



Can’t we look into the hormonal reactions that sex has in the human (I know a little is done on this, but like all hormonal research what we can learn from it is nearly inexhaustible)? Can’t we find out more about the sexual response cycle?

I know this is kind of cheap because I just echoed what the other people were saying, but I just wanted to show what the heck is going on with sexual research. We can’t get grants to research much unless it is fairly mainstream. If the topic is considered taboo by anyone in the government we pretty much can’t get any funding from them. Private groups who are giving out grants are more interested in discrediting abstinence only (or, if they are religious, hiring people to find evidence that it does work AKA pseudo-science).

I really want to get involved with some of this stuff and help produce something new. I think once the engine gets started it will really flare up, but it’s like trying to start the lawn mower after it’s been sitting in the garage all winter with gas in it. Such a pain in the ass.
