Spawny's Space

In a previous thread, Cill posted a video with a speaker who says that women keep the DNA of semen from their previous partners in their bloodstream. I’d pointed out then that this exact occurance (known as telegony) has not been observed in human women…but in fruit flies.

Now, there has been another study done about microchimerism in human women aka the presence of a few random Y chromosomes in their bloodstream…anywhere from 0 – 20.7 male cells per 100,000 female cells. However, this was only found in 21% overall of the 120 participants. All of these women had a sexual history, but not all had a history involving a known pregnancy. (As an estimated 10-15% of potential pregnancies end in a miscarriage before week 8, having an unknown pregnancy is not uncommon.)

While it is entirely possible these women had kept DNA from previous sexual partners in their…

The Beauty of Male Genitals

I’ve noticed that this post was linked to on Reddit and is getting a lot of views, so I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks for visiting and formally welcome all new readers to my blog. I hope you enjoy yourselves, and feel free to ask for any clarifications or join in the numerous ongoing conversations in the comments!

Recent conversations on other blogs have tuned me into a new opinion that I never really considered before: That penises are ugly.

Men + Women + Orgasms = Nobody Is Satisfied

I followed a link from another blogger and found a very interesting blog that seems to be about male-female relationships. After reading the linked-to post, I immediately started to write a comment about the issues I saw missing from it. Since it grew to a rather obnoxious length for a mere comment, I have decided to make it a post unto itself. I have put his words in bold, my own are in regular font for ease of reading.

Pathways

A series of haikus written by me detailing how I give my lover/friend with benefits a full body orgasm. Caution: It gets fairly saucy. 😉

Mismatched Libidos

This post is a request from a regular reader and commenter, who asked for an open forum to talk about the problems, and possible solutions, of what happens when sexual partners have severely mismatched libidos. So, I am asking all my readers to give advice or share stories of their experiences.

A Response To A Virgin

Hey all. This started out as a reply comment to another commenter on a blog I read, http://theunfortunatevirginmale.wordpress.com/. It became quite a bit longer than I initially expected, and has some good talking points in it, so I figured I’d just turn it into a post.

Great Reasons To Masturbate

My Views On BDSM

In my experienced opinion, bdsm is fun, liberating, and definitely worth trying if you never have. Here’s why…

In Praise Of The Penis

As of late, I’ve been rereading some of my old college textbooks (yes, I kept some of them), including the one from my Human Sexuality course. We never covered *everything* in the book, and I love learning more about the male and female bodies…In fact, I used this same book when writing my post about International Clitoris Week, and I was going to use it again when some form of “penis week” or “male genitals day” arrived.

Monogamy and Fidelity

My dear online friend and delightful fellow blogger, MrMary, has quite the intriguing post up at his place today. I highly recommend checking it out;

Some Sexual Introspection

So I’ve been considering a point that came up in my last post, coupled with a response to something I said on M3’s blog. Here’s the comment from last time that got my mind turning;

A Question For My More Experienced Readers

Very odd question, and completely out of the blue:

Wait…What?

Very quick post here, everyone. Almost more of an impromptu “survey” really.

So, over on AVfM there’s a new article up about why men give away sex all the time, even to women who don’t do very much to show they can actually bring anything besides their looks to the table.

What I Love About My Lover

I think my FwB is a really awesome and attractive man. Here’s why…

Finding Beauty In Everyone

I’ve been having a conversation about relationships with a guy I consider to be an online friend. In a recent email he mentioned that he finds the majority of women unattractive, perhaps due in part to being overly fond of anime and the proportions of women/girls contained therein. Shapely cartoon females aside, I thought this to be an odd way of reacting to such a large segment of one’s own species, especially given that there are so very many body types.
