Researchers have created lab-grown testicle organoids that closely resemble the real thing. The breakthrough provides a promising model for research that may advance our understanding of the organs’ development and translate into therapeutic applicatio… Continue reading Grow a pair: Lab-grown testicles tackle infertility treatment
For the first time, scientists have uncovered how the brain’s Behavioral Activation System can override other cognitive functions and subdue external stimuli when we experience romantic love, driving that all-consuming focus on the other person. It’s a… Continue reading In a first, study finds just how romantic love rewires the brain
Almost 25 years since scientists first identified the difference in anesthetic sensitivity between males and females, new research suggests that sex hormones make men more responsive to this state of unconsciousness – and women far less so.Continue Rea… Continue reading Sex hormones determine how well anesthesic works in men and women
In one of the strangest animal behavior discoveries this year, male serotine bats living in a church attic in the Netherlands have been captured on camera engaging in marathon sessions of non-penetrative sex – the first-ever instance of superficial-con… Continue reading Bat uses huge heart-shaped penis to maneuver female in unusual mating act
In the wild world of nature, where an organism’s sole aim is to succeed at passing on their genes at any cost, it’s not surprising many species have aggressive, and even deadly, mating behaviors.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Frogs, Re… Continue reading Croak it: Female frogs fake death to avoid sex with unappealing males
Scientists say they’ve uncovered the neural circuitry behind desire that is responsible for sex drive, behavior and reward.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Stanford University, Sex, Reproduction, Neural Network, Neuroscience, Brain stimu… Continue reading Sexy mice help scientists uncover the drivers behind male libido
In what might be a surprise for some, the male sex chromosome is far more complex than its female counterpart. This is why it’s taken scientists so long to work out exactly what makes a male a male.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Genome… Continue reading After a long search, scientists finally find out what’s in his genes

If the COVID-19 pandemic taught us anything, it’s the value of testing for infection at home without the need to visit a health facility. Now a series of studies have found that testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the privacy of your … Continue reading Self-testing is accurate & removes the stigma of checking for STIs
Scientists are divided over whether there’s a new “earliest known sexed anthropomorphic representation,” in the form of a 4.3-cm (1.69-in) carved graphite pendant that University of Bordeaux archaeologists believe is supposed to be a penis.
