‘Almost instant’ male birth-control pill — or even nasal spray — is in the works, British scientists say (National Post)
Scientists have made a breakthrough that could be key to developing a male contraceptive pill.
The discovery uses a peptide that changes the way human cells work, “switching off” sperm’s ability to swim, to render men temporarily infertile.
Scientists hailed the results as “startling — and almost instant.”
It raises the prospect of a fast-acting pill or a nasal spray that a man could take hours or even minutes before sex.
Awesome. Sort of. The pill, as we know it, has really batshit crazy side effects for some people. When I took it, it really screwed with my moods. Plus, it can kill you. BRAIN CLOTS, always fun. If this new discovery really works, I hope it doesn’t also have a ton of drawbacks.
Everyone should just get their tubes tied and/or snipped.
- ‘Sex bots’ conference banned in Asia, moves to London (New York Post)
Malaysia blew a fuse over a conference on robot sex– so the show is moving to London.
The two-day December symposium on “sex bots” is set for east London’s Goldsmiths University after the second annual event was banned in Asia, it was reported Saturday.
The International Congress on Love and Sex with Robots will tackle subjects such as the use of “teledildonics,” or cyber sex toys, to human like robots that can achieve orgasm.
“I think robots could become our lovers in the future,” Goldsmith’s Kate Devlin told the Daily Star of Britain. “Does love have to be reciprocated to be valid?”
Wait, what? There are robots that can have orgasms? That’s just… that’s… just. Wow.

Will Swedes soon be looking for fairtrade porn? (The Local)
That’s the mentality that Swedish health minister Gabriel Wikström revealed he is championing in an interview with Nyheter24 ahead of a government survey among Swedes on sexual behaviour and attitudes.
While a formal fairtrade label for pornography is not being proposed, a more general effort to try to keep a fairtrade perspective in mind is desirable, the minister explained in a statement provided to The Local.
“We won’t regulate this from the state: I think that’s the wrong road to go down. It would also be difficult to create any kind of labelling for porn,” he said.
“However I think one should try to take a fairtrade perspective on it, for example, in which way has it been produced, and is there consent? Then you can move forward in minimizing porn that is misogynistic and produced under bad conditions. It’s good that this question is being talked about and it comes to light.”
Swedes are cool.
