04|20|10: The Facts Tuesday!

Since today is “The Facts Tuesday”, today’s topic is 10 crazy sex facts that you may or may not have heard before dealing with a variety of subjects. These facts all come from the book How Sex Works by Dr. Sharon Moalem. Enjoy them, maybe you’ll learn something new! Have a great Tuesday everyone. (:

1. Humans aren’t the only ones who perform oral sex. Cheetahs, hyenas, and goats all go down.

2. The clitoris is the only organ in the human body with just one purpose: pleasure.

3. Men who looked at porn of two men and one woman produced more sperm than those who looked at just women. Scientists speculate that seeing competition makes men step up their baby-making capacities.

4. As Brazilian waxes have become more popular, the pubic-lice population has dwindled.

5. Male chimps, bears, dogs (and almost all mammals besides humans) actually have a bone in their penis.

6. Coffee and booze can make semen taste bitter, while pineapple, celery, and melon make it taste less strong.

7. Women with hourglass figures tend to be more fertile.

8. Some of the first tampons were made of lint wrapped around wood.

9. The clitoris is shaped like a wishbone that’s about 3 to 4 1/2 inches long.

10. Male honeybees only get to have sex once in their life…because it kills them. During ejaculation the penis breaks off inside the female, and the male dies within hours.
