LA Times: Science of the orgasm

As they seek to document and demystify one of life's great thrills, scientists have run across some real head-scratchers.

How, for example, can they explain the fact that some men and women who are paralyzed and numb below the waist are able to have orgasms?
How to explain the "orgasmic auras" that can descend at the onset of epileptic seizures -- sensations so pleasurable they prompt some patients to refuse antiseizure medication?

And how on Earth to explain the case of the amputee who felt his orgasms centered in that missing foot?

In memory of a cyclist's cyclist

I discovered Sheldon online shortly after I bought my first real road bike, A Giant (size XXS which is what sold me on it) . Mostly I was confounded by my new gears and he has so many tips on his Web site that I immediately got hooked.
The Globe has a really nice piece in memory of Sheldon today; he died of a heart attack, apparently. I'm so sad I never got a chance to head down to the shop to meet him.

Yeah, this is for real.


It's a cream to lighten the skin around YOUR ASSHOLE.

Who invented that? Who needs this besides -- and even this is a stretch -- a porn star?

No surprise, it comes from South Beach.
