What compels a 52-year-old women to start a website that shows videos of people having sex? Her conviction, as the New York Times reports, that online pornography has taught a generation all the wrong things about sex. So Cindy Gallop, a former advertising executive, has made her mission “a certain amount of re-education, rehabilitation and reorientation,” all in the service of making people more comfortable with the kind of sex that the Times describes as “sweet, earnest, languid, playful and deeply human.” Gallop’s first move was the website MakeLoveNotPorn.com, and her most recent is MakeLoveNotPorn.tv, which the Times calls “a kind of YouTube for the erotically unabashed.” All of the videos are made by real people and uploaded (at a cost of $5) by real people. Other real people pay $5 to watch a video. Half of the site’s proceeds go to contributors. Everyone is welcome, except professionals. Read more in the New York Times.

Pay to upload, pay to watch. Sounds like porn to me. Sex is a very private action between two people. When you make it public, you make it porn. You can’t describe it any other way. This woman should be ashamed.

Is The Cool Down Another Exercise Myth? The Short Answer Is “Yes”.

Is the benefit of cooling down just another exercise myth? The short answer, according to Gretchen Reynolds, of the New York Times, is “yes”. Reynolds points us to a recent study of 36 active adults, who did a strenuous, one-time program of forward lunges while holding barbells, an exercise, Reynolds says, “almost guaranteed to make untrained people extremely sore the next day.” Some of the group warmed up for 20 minutes on a stationary bike. Another contingent blew off the [...]

Energy Drink Warning: Stay Away From DMAA

The FDA has some scary news for fans of energy drinks and weight-loss supplements. The stimulant called dimethylamylamine (DMAA), often used in supplements promising weight loss, muscle building and performance enhancement, has been shown to “elevate blood pressure and could lead to cardiovascular problems, including heart attack, shortness of breath and tightening of the chest.” Given the known biological activity of DMAA, the agency warns, the ingredient may be particularly dangerous when used with caffeine. An FDA news release reports [...]

1 in 5 Seniors Take High Risk Meds: More Common In South

Where you live may have more influence than you thought on how long you live. A recent report by researchers at Brown University has found that seniors living in the South Atlantic, East South Central and West South Central regions of the country — an area stretching from parts of Texas to South Carolina — had a 10 to 12 percentage point higher risk of receiving potentially harmful prescriptions than people in New England, who had the lowest chance. It’s [...]

Why You Should Work Out With Music

Want to know why you should work out with music? The Wall Street Journal has some persuasive answers: when athletes synchronize their movements to a musical beat, their bodies can handle more exertion: Treadmill walkers have been shown to have greater stamina and cyclists require less oxygen uptake. Swimmers who listened to music during races finished faster than others who didn’t. What music does it best? The journal puts that question to Costas Karageorghis, deputy head of research at the [...]

Music Boosts Immune System

Kicking out the jams, it turns out, can also kick out the germs. That’s the conclusion of researchers at McGill University, who reviewed 400 research papers in the neurochemistry of music, and found that playing and listening to music has clear benefits for both mental and physical health. According to a McGill news release, music was found both to improve the body’s immune system function and to reduce levels of stress. Listening to music was also found to be more [...]

For Tennis Elbow, Steroids Can Do More Harm Than Good

The good news, from researchers at the University of Queensland, is that steroids really do relieve the pain of tennis elbow. The bad news is that because steroids relieve the pain of tennis elbow, the tennis player is more likely to overuse and re-injure the joint. A UQ news release reports that researchers at the school found that treating patients with physiotherapy and a corticosteroid injection did not reduce recurrence or have a long-term effect on complete recovery, pain or [...]

Sex Hurts, But There’s A Pill For That

We all know that love hurts, but for many postmenopausal women, sex hurts more. That’s because lower estrogen render vaginal tissues thinner, drier and more fragile. Now comes FDA approval for a new drug, Osphena, which, in FDA speak, “acts like estrogen on vaginal tissues to make them thicker and less fragile, resulting in a reduction in the amount of pain women experience with sexual intercourse.” The FDA reports that three clinical studies involving nearly 1,900 postmenopausal women with signs [...]

Mushroom Extract May Slow Some Prostate Cancer

The bad news is that the good news only applies to men whose prostate cancer has already spread to other parts of their bodies, and whose testosterone levels have been lowered by drug therapy. The good news is that for those men, a natural product called genistein-combined polysaccharide, or GCP, which is commercially available in health stores, could help keep them alive. A news release from the University of California at Davis reports that researchers at the school found that [...]
