sex

  • Scientific American has an interesting article on the neurology of orgasms.
    Achieving orgasm, brain-imaging studies show, involves more than heightened arousal. It requires a release of inhibitions and control in which the brain’s center of vigilance shuts down in males; in females, various areas of the brain involved in controlling thoughts and emotions become silent.

  • Playboy's 25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written. I've read five of them (Story of O, Interview with a Vampire, Portnoy's Complaint, Wind Up Bird Chronicle, and the "good parts" of Forever (I was a teenager)). Lolita and Fanny Hill sit on my book shelf. Hmm, now that I think of it, I don't think the five I've read were very sexy, except for Forever (again, I was a teenager). (via kottke) (20) #
