Coturnix pointed out that many people may feel too shy to just put their condom breakage experiences in the comments, but Sci is extremely curious to find out why condoms in general break in the population. So she made a SURVEY!* Please do take it, and I’ll graph up the results in a few days. […]
This is actually a Friday Weird Science repost from the old blog. I’ve had a few requests to do something on condom breakage, though, in the words of Dr. Pal “I think a lot of the time when “the condom broke” they really mean it was in the dresser drawer.” It’s true, I’ve never actually […]
Sigh. These friday weird science titles just keep getting worse and worse! But there’s really no other way to put this paper. And it kind of carries on the depression theme I’ve had going for the past few weeks. Well, kind of. Gallup et al. “Does semen have antidepressant properties?” Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2002. […]
The other title of this post is “what happens when you leave a guy alone on a desert island for a few weeks”, and the other OTHER title of this post is “people who are obsessive enough to measure their body hair”. But what, you may ask, is the real title of the PAPER? Anonymous. […]
This is another post along the lines of the odd things that get off certain members of the humans species. I’m sure some of us wish we were these people, but in some cases (like this one), it’s not a fortunate as you might suppose. Chuang, et al. “Tooth-brushing epilepsy with ictal orgasms”. Seizure, 2004, […]
I love when I can talk about science while using words like “testicles” and “cocks”. I really should have gone into something like urology, only then I know people would probably be all serious about it. And where’s the fun in that? Anyway, today’s Weird Science comes to you courtesy of Monica, an awesome reader […]
Sci has a confession to make. I don’t own a TV. Well, rather, I do. It only works to hook a DVD player up to it. Being completely addicted to the internet as I am, I don’t miss it. I also never really watched TV as a kid. In a way, I miss out on […]
For most people in the world, a really satisfactory bowel movement feels…good. The relief, the relaxation, we’ve all been there. But apparently, for the patient in this case study, defecation felt more than good, it felt GREAT. But is it possible for a crap to feel TOO great? Apparently so. After all, the man actually […]
As some of you may recall (considering it’s my one post that got the most hits ever ever ever), I’ve previously used weird science to cover various hypotheses on how to deal with your nasal congestion. But it turns out that sex is for more than your nose! After all, what can more adversely affect […]
It is rare that a non-fiction book, let alone a non-fiction book about science, makes me laugh so hard I have to put the book down until I can get off the floor. In fact, I would say it’s only happened once. That once was during this last week, when I finally got to read […]
