Kisspeptin occurs naturally in the body, where it stimulates the release of other signalling chemicals that have been linked to reproduction. Now a study of 29 heterosexual young men has found that injections of the hormone enhance the brain’s response to sexual and romantic pictures of couples.”

James is in talks with theatre producers to make a Fifty Shades of Grey musical. … in case you are a newcomer to musical theatre you should know that any song with the word “dance” in the title is really about having sex. Seriously. Just replace “dance” with any word for having sex and tada, you get straight to the subtext. The genius Mr. Stephen Sondheim refers to this in his wonderful song, Can That Boy Foxtrot.”

- “For the uninitiated, “xXx” is the code name for Xander Cage, Vin Diesel’s protagonist. It also has the added bonus of implying the movie you are about to see will be EXTREME. TOO HOT FOR TV. Etc. An unfortunate side effect is, pretty obviously, it’s hard to Google this movie without, y’know, finding a bunch of porn. To that end, let’s look at how the xXx series’ SEO stacks up against the internet’s ultimate sweetheart: full-on sex.”
