Sex-Obsessed Scientists Find That Men Don't Think About Sex as Much as We Thought

christian.jpg
​Despite the character-defaming rumor that men think about sex every seven seconds of every day, a figure that would make for "more than 8,000 thoughts about sex in 16 waking hours," scientists have determined that actually, guys don't think about sex that much! According to a recent study that asked men and women to track their thoughts about eating, sleep, and sex in a golf tally counter every day for a week, the median number for thinking about sex was 19 times a day for guys and 10 per day for women.

Park Slope Sex Survey Confirms: (Most) Park Slopers Have Sex

Singles in Park Slope
​Last week we wrote about a sex survey going down at Fucked in Park Slope that promised to reveal some interesting things about the neighborhood. Today, part one is out! Turns out the neighborhood has (a few) more women than men, more straight people than otherwise -- and nearly a quarter of Park Slopers are single and looking for a relationship.

From FIPS: "While no one is fucking like a rabbit in Park Slope, 51.5% said they have sex one to three times a week. Unfortunately, another 30% have a nonexistent sex life. About one in three readers have had a one night stand in the neighborhood. When it came to ménage à trois, 41.7% said it was a pipe dream. Coordinating schedules (and orgasms) proved to be too much work for 55.3% of the group."

Elderly Upper West Siders Warned to Stop Sexing Sans Condoms

​This "Got Milk"-riff ad, the latest in the city's efforts to get old people to put on condoms if they're going to have sex, comes our way via WestSideRag, who sighted the sign at right on West 72nd Street near West End. "Age is not a condom" -- no, no it isn't. But even though you'd think over-50s would know that, having not been born yesterday, or even, say, 20 years before yesterday, people in the senior community are still going ahead and having sex without condoms. The dark side of this is the growing numbers of people who've contracted HIV at age 50 and older. The ironic side is that these are the same people who preached safe sex to us youngsters back in the old days. The sort of hilarious side is how parents will answer their young children's queries about the nekkid lady in this prominently positioned ad. Practice what you preach, grams and pops! STDs are not cool. [WSR]

Why Women Fake Orgasms: Science Attempts to Explain

ryan460.jpg
​Since Wednesday is, apparently, the best day for getting laid, we would like to inform you that women may be faking their orgasms. You might wonder, as people have for centuries, why would a woman do this? Rest assured, science has sought to find out why. Shockingly, new research from Temple University says it's not about trying to bolster male egos...instead, women who are faking orgasms (and this is some 60 percent, approximately, at one point or another, compared to 25 percent of men) have done it because of their own "issues." Thanks, science!

Newscasters' Least Sexy, Most Middle School Affair Leads to Lawsuit

Alycia Lane
​Alycia Lane, dubbed by the New York Post "a Long Island-born stunner and drama magnet," is suing her former employer, CBS, and (maybe) paramour, now-New York City anchor Larry Mendte for damaging her reputation after the co-anchors' affair went sour. She's done plenty to chip away at her honor all alone: she emailed bikini pics of herself to NFL anchor Rich Eisen and got caught, and later, smacked a police officer in the face while yelling, "I am a reporter, you fucking dyke bitch!" Lane was fired, obviously. Mendte was let go by the Philadelphia station where they worked together soon after for sneaking onto Lane's computer and leaking her secrets to gossip columns. This was back in 2008, but the pair continues to embarrass themselves today.

Staten Island Woman Who Sexed 13-Year-Old Didn't Have a Very Private Facebook

​Megan Donovan, the 20-year-old Staten Island day-care worker (oof) arrested yesterday for the statutory rape of a 13-year-old boy, was a tad too open on her Faceboook page, Gothamist reports. The blog has a wacky, unfortunate photo of Donovan on a bed, but also the above status, which should serve as a reminder: post on Facebook as if your grandmother were reading. Or the NYPD!

Dov Charney, American Apparel CEO, Sued For Sexual Harassment By Four More Women

dov charney american apparel.jpg
​Yes, again. Earlier this month, Dov Charney was hit with a $260 million lawsuit for sexual harassment, in which a 20-year-old former employee alleged that she engaged in "forced sex" with the sexed up founder and CEO of American Apparel for eight months. Today, the New York Times reports that a Los Angeles lawsuit names four women in an additional suit, which "seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages." This one might be harder for Charney to dodge.

Etsy Privacy Policy Shows Everyone Your Heinous, Uncouth, or Twee Purchases

For sale: vintage JFK bust
​The e-commerce website Etsy, which focuses on sickeningly cute arts, crafts, and vintage junk, also happens to sell sex toys, like ceramic polka-dotted dildos and crocheted vibrator cases, as we learned today! Others on the Internet may have learned a similar lesson via their online shopping friends since Etsy's new privacy policy makes all customers' purchases public -- they even show up on Google! -- unless users choose to opt out. It's just like Facebook's privacy snafus except instead of Mafia Wars, it's straw woven fedoras. Which are way more embarrassing!

American Apparel CEO Dov Charney Sued For Allegedly Keeping Teenage Sex Slave

dov-charney-20060428npr1.jpeg
​Dov Charney, the controversial founder and CEO of American Apparel, is being sued for grimy sexual abuse graver in dirty detail and larger in dollar amount than any other grimy sexual abuse he's been accused of before. A new lawsuit from an ex-American Apparel employee seeks $260 million in damages for sexual harassment and subsequent "serious psychiatric injuries from which she will never fully recover," according to paperwork filed last week in Brooklyn Supreme Court. This one gets ugly, but echoes situations Charney has talked to Runnin' Scared about in the past.

Clarence Thomas Has a Body Like a 'Coffee-Bean' or 'Velvet-Covered Cement'

Thomas' Ex-lover 1.jpg
The tell-all book
​Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, long alleged to be something of a pervert, is at the very least being outed as a kinky dude by Lillian McEwen, a former judge and Thomas's ex-girlfriend. In D.C. Unmasked & Undressed, McEwen's story of work and play in our nation's capital, she tells of her intimate contact with Thomas, who she calls a "national treasure." There's even more in an interview with AFRO late last week, excerpted by Wonkette today. Proceed only if you want to know more about Thomas's sexual parts and practices, assuming the headline above didn't do it for you.
