Quickies, the say it isn’t so version

* Groan. Groan. GROAN (not the happy kind). And it’s not pink because…? Where’s the porn section? Is this where I learn about what two girls do together? Looks like a sportsbra to me. I did not know a website could give me uniboob.

* I hate you because you turn me on, homo (or, what we already knew, in study form): homophobia is associated with sexual arousal. Read Are Homophobes Aroused by Homoeroticism?, with abstract and link to a study by the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, “…which found that those who are homophobic are much more likely to be aroused by male homoerotic imagery than those who are not.” Okay, whoever told them is in a lot of trouble. Talk about taking the fun out of fundies. (thanks Praemedia!)

* I just added Mary Roach’s new book Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex to my wishlist; I *loved* her endlessly entertaining and spooky, oogey bestseller Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers and have re-read it several times. There’s a rather heavy-handed, but positive review of it over at Bookslut (buried deep in her post Awkward, Disgusting Copulation: Writing on Sex), and I can’t wait to read it. Roach is a local author, too, yay! (thanks, sweet ALV!)

* I just saw over at Fleshbot, where I should be right now, that fetish beauty Aprella just redesigned her website. Congrats, Aprella! (Image above, yum.)
