Do We All Need to Have Sex?
Good old Freud claimed that sex is as important to people as food, water or sleep, and believed that sexual instinct is basis of all human activity. Was he right?
There are two types of people in the world: those who have sex and those who don't. The reasons why the second group don't have intercourse are, of course, different.

If you asked good old Freud for his opinion, he would say that the second group - those who practice abstinence - better watch themselves. It was Freud who popularised the...Do We All Need to Have Sex?

Have you ever asked yourself what creates sexual attraction between two people and why are we drawn to a specific person? Let us try to unravel the mysteries of human attraction.

Most of the tests have been performed on animals, particularly insects, and this does not sound promising as regards human attraction, but with new technology the measuring of the effects of hormones has been slowly brought into the field of human society as well. The research from the 1980s,...The Essence of Human Attraction
Born with two functioning penises
And many more interesting historical stories connected to sexuality.
About penises and foreskins They had a habit of sowing a button into the foreskin and making an incision on the other side in ancient Rome. This way, the male penis was simply closed when it wasn’t used. The length of an erected penis is measured so that we stretch the prepuce of a soft penis as far as it goes. Generally speaking, the length largely depends on the level of testosterone in the uterus in the first 12 to 14 weeks of life. If the level drops or isn’t...Born with two functioning penises
