How Wild Is Our Sex . . . and Our Dreams?

Well, this wasn't exactly the most unbiased survey, but it certainly was comprehensive: the Stranger, Seattle's weekly alternative paper, asked 6,942 people their secrets in the bedroom, out of the bedroom, and in their dreams.

New DNA-Based Test Could Replace the Pap Smear

The annual Pap smear could become a relic if a new DNA test proves as effective as promised. According to a study published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, a new screening involving DNA could be better than all other tests in detecting HPV and cervical cancer.

It showed you which lubes contain glycerin and which don't, but I recently noticed another ingredient in some water-based products that I thought you should know about — propylene glycol.

There are a plethora of birth control options out there so men and women can enjoy sex without having to worry about becoming parents before they're ready, but sometimes a couple has an "oops" moment.
