In case you missed it, earlier this month, SIECUS (Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States) released its annual report on Sexuality Education in the Age of Digital Media.
The Time for Inclusive Education (Tie) campaign, which has been building a case for inclusive education that teaches about the full range of human sexualities in school, will be bringing its message to the Scottish Parliament, at a public petitions committee meeting in October. Their presentation will include testimony from people who have experienced discrimination and abuse because of their sexuality.
The public petitions committee has the power to publish recommendations, which could bring Tie's goals closer to fruition.
A study of 101 men in the Boston area, the results of which were published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, showed that men who hire prostitutes tend to have less empathy for women, are more prone to sexual coercion, and are more likely to report a history of sexual violence.
In 2014, a survey revealed that 71 percent of Americans believe porn is morally unacceptable. In order to get a more nuanced look at men's view of porn, the Huffington Post ("unscientifically") conducted their own survey.
In the past, research that attempted to determine the importance of penis size in the eyes of women utilized 2-D drawings and descriptions of size. But a more recent study, using 3-D printed penises, has shown that women do, in fact, prefer something a bit bigger.

A new survey conducted across 20 cities in India, in which roughly 15,000 teens between the ages of 13 and 19 were interviewed, revealed that the average age of first sexual contact for boys is 13.72 years, and the average age for girls is 14.09 years. Those behind the survey feel this may explain the recent increase in STDs among teenagers.At that age, there are no proper resources from which to gain sexuality-related information.
According to a new study, the results of which were published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, condoms aren't likely the cause of erectile issues, despite those who have reported difficulty maintaining an erection while using one.
Having surveyed 479 straight men between the ages of 18 to 24, authors of the study found that men who reported having trouble maintaining an erection during condom use were also likely to have "generalized erectile difficulties" without one.
