Sex day at omnibrain

The first 'real' science story is one of the craziest peer pressure situations I've ever heard of - these fish change sex based on social pressures! They sure are cool looking - I wonder what sex this one is going to be?
The fish, which start life as larvae without a specific sex, become either male or female as they develop.
But young males appear to be able to alter their sex depending on how many other fish there are living around the same reef.
The scientists found that there was a much greater chance of the youngsters turning female if there were only a handful of the species in one area as they would have a much greater chance of breeding than males.
If there were many fish in the social group, the youths are likely to undergo a dramatic transformation and become male, the study indicated.
Our second 'story' is well not really a story - just check out this picture! What do you think it's for?
Click on the picture for the correct answer.

And finally - http://www.world-sex-records.com/ where you can find things like
  • Largest human penis
  • Most capacious human vagina
  • Most prolific growth of pubic hair

  • And more!

    P.S. Here are two sex stories from boingboing - the first is about greenpeace wanting the EU to ban dildos b/c they are dangerous - and the second is about the craigslist sex scandal

    p.s. Tatum Reed, conservative political columnist, fashion maven, and narcissistic sexual connoisseur, presents the next level of Pax American pornography. Popwhore remixes her fantasies and yours for mass
    consumption.
