In a study done right here at IU's Kinsey Institute, Heather Rupp has some pretty interesting findings. Her study, published in the online version of Evolution and Human Behavior, has revealed that women are attracted to different facial structures of the men they consider for a sexual partner during different times of their cycle.

So I'm sure we've all heard some doubtful ways to determine whether a man is gay or not. For example, I've heard that if his ring finger is the same length as his index finger, he's gay. I've normally scoffed at ideas like this, but it turns out there might actually be some substantial research […]
Recently, a Dallas-based pastor issued a 7-day sex challenge to married congregants - the idea being that they were supposed to try to have sex every day for seven days. This follows on the foot steps of a Florida-based pastor who issued a 30-day sex challenge to married congregants. While these so-called "sex challenges" may […]

Judy Norsigian (co-author of Our Bodies, Ourselves and founder of the Boston Women's Health Book Collective) has an interview she did here at Indiana University up on a podcast. The interview is about an hour long and she talks about a lot of great stuff! Our Bodies, Ourselves is, in my opinion, a revolutionary book […]
We are so pleased that Illinois State University's Daily Vidette has recently begun publishing our Kinsey Confidential column. We were particularly interested, too, in the editorial board's introduction to the column - in their piece, you can read about the history of Dr. Alfred Kinsey, The Kinsey Institute as well as some of the thoughts around the […]
A new British poll, conducted by the Guardian newspaper, revealed that 1 in 5 British workers has had sex at work! That's gutsy. Furthermore, it also shows that 1 in 5 also had no desire for monogamy, and 3 out of 10 didn't even think it was natural! The English have always had a certain […]
