Women who abstain from sex may be putting their health in jeopardy, a group of scientists have warned. The researchers found that females between the ages of 20 and 59 who had sex less than once a week were at a 70 per cent increased risk of death within five years. Blood samples showed these women had elevated levels of a key protein linked to inflammation, which can cause damage to healthy cells, tissues and organs. Lower levels, and no increased death risk, was seen in participants who had sex more than once a week. And alarmingly, the reverse phenomenon...

We’re lucky that a major terror attack on the scale of the 9/11 attacks didn’t occur under Joe Biden because our intelligence community appeared preoccupied with a secret sex chat where members of the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency spoke graphically about castration, peeing fetishes, and gangbangs. Chris Rufo and Hannah Grossman discovered this Candyland of perversion, securing screenshots.

Readers of a certain age will know the answer instinctively. Unfortunately, most people are under a certain age, and very confused about sex, love, and biological imperatives. That's what Louise Perry writes in a new book, excerpted today as an essay at The Free Press. In the essay, A New Guide to Sex in the 21st Century sounds a lot like the old guide to sex in the 20th century before The Pill upended everything about humans and sexual relations. Perry argues -- correctly -- that women and men want different outcomes from socialization, and decades of attempting what Erica...

Precedent already exists for amending what is required on birth certificate documents. For example, birth certificates...
