If you’ve got a taste for damnation by dong, you can get it with a little help from Fleshlight. And with plenty of time still before Halloween,…
China Daily, the largest English-language publication in the PRC, has an interesting if somewhat bizarre article about a new initiative to try to get effective sex education into Chinese schools.

Patrick McNamara, a Professor of Neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, has a great short piece on his blog at Psychology Today about a recent survey in Hong Kong where male college students were asked about their sexual dreams.
