They just can't get enough.
Mother Nature has a talent for surprising us when it comes to sex. Forget about all of the strange sounds, squirts and other side effects that come from human copulation - shit gets real weird when animals go at it.

So here are a few especially bizarre and fascinating sex facts about some of the cuddly, adorable and (sometimes) creepy members of the animal kingdom we stare at through glass at the zoo.

VICE Photo-shoot Shines Awkward Light on Period Blood Taboo

Imagine having her day job.
It's fun to make people uncomfortable on the Internet and VICE is one site that does it well. Its Do's & Don'ts and guides for how to be uber-cool and/or a huge geek (the hip kind) are entertaining and informative, while their video and photo content runs the gamut from educational to bizarre.

But the end goal is to push the envelope, and that's what photographer Emma Arvida Bystrom did with her "There Will Be Blood" series of pictures featuring cute, hipster ladies performing various daily activities while, unbeknownst to them, their vaginas spill menstrual blood through their undies and down their legs.

Gross. But it happens all the fucking time, which appears to be Bystrom's point. So get over it, will ya?

5 Philosophers Who Were Probably Good in Bed

Eros. What is it? Sex has long fascinated philosophers and great minds. Plato and his Symposium buddies were the first think tank to openly celebrate homosexuality, feminism and eroticism. Discourse on love has continued through the ages; these following scholars were probably fucking fantastic in the sack.

Top 5 Turn Ons for Men

Categories: Lists

For men, a lot of things get the blood and juices flowing when it comes to getting in the mood. It can be anything ranging from the infamous Phoebe Cates scene in Fast Times At Ridgemont High to Tawny Kitaen's moves in the Whitesnake video for "Here I Go Again" to more recently, anything Lady GaGa or Rihanna does. All of these things ooze sex, which is their common denominator. In addition to those kinky, glamorized, Hollywood-filled ideas of what gets guys going, here's a list of five things that appeal to the common man.

Honorable Mention, Whale tales:
When bigger chicks started rocking thongs, the whale tale has sort of gone the way of the Beta Mac. Except in a few rare instances, when you see that thong or G-string showing itself, you can't help but look and think what else comes with that package. Right fellas?

5. Short shorts: As summer rapidly approaches, there's no better way to celebrate the heat than chicks rockin' short shorts. Skimpy cut-offs are nice, but there's nothing that says it's time to bring the heat than booty shorts. When a fit girl rocks these and is willing to show off her lean legs and tight ass, what can be better than that?

'Hysteria' w/ Maggie Gyllenhaal Describes History of the Vibrating Sex Toy. Rad.

Image(s): FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Hysteria never looked so good.

"Hysteria" was released in Los Angeles and NYC this weekend.

"What's 'Hysteria?'" you ask? Well it's a movie about the history of the vibrator, a film featuring real actors -- including Maggie Gyllenhaal, everyone's favorite "Secretary" -- and, surprisingly, void of the expected B.S. that would accompany a motion picture delving into a topic still too taboo for Oprah.

There are many of you out there who aren't obsessed with sex toys and the amazing sounds/fluids/emotions they evoke, and therefore probably don't give a fuck about where they came from.

But wait -- what if I told you vibrators were invented as a medical treatment for a health epidemic that once swept the nation? Interesting, right? Keep reading.

Is Porn Killing Your Sex Life? Probably Not.

Categories: Porn Problems

The Internet's seen a rash of articles about how porn is killing sex lives. Whether it's studies of dubious scientific legitimacy saying that it kills sex drives or anecdotal evidence that women hate porn tricks men try in bed, the Internet -- in particular men's websites -- is abuzz with theories that porn is bad for sex. Unpredictably, we respectfully disagree.

There are a few problems underlying the idea that porn is killing real sex. First, the idea that "women" (or "men" for that matter) taken as a whole "like" or "dislike" things is fundamentally flawed. Even bona fide scientific studies finding that women prefer this or that only refer to women in the broadest possible sense. It says nothing about whether or not an individual woman likes or dislikes something. Further, the studies generally assume that men are the only ones who like porn and that they're watching it alone. Finally, there's the archaic idea that sex is something women do as a favor to men in exchange for jewelry. Women are certainly horrified by money shots and hair pulling.

Right. Sure they are.

School Children Served Penis-shaped Chocolates at Mother's Day Event

This was not the immediate reaction of most of the mother's who received the chocolates.
A mother's day gift turned into a lesson in birds and bees-style anatomy for a group of children in Australia who were given erotic chocolates to give to their mums as Mother's Day gifts. The sweet treats came in assorted shapes including breasts, penises and couples having sex.

Study: Most Doctors Don't Talk About Sex w/ Heart Attack Patients

Flickr/MΛЯK
Less than one percent of heart attacks occur during sex.
In terms of things that are horrible, we have to imagine that having a heart attack during sex, or having a partner have a heart attack during sex, would be traumatizing enough to make a person never want to have sex again. What's significant is that according to doctors, less than one percent of people who have heart attacks do while having sex. Still, people who have experienced a heart attack are often reticent to resume sexual activity and rarely get advice from their doctor regarding when it's once again safe to get busy.
