     Providing access to birth control and the counseling to learn about it is a stunningly common sense idea in a country where people are broke, half the pregnancies are unintended and yet some people still think "Just say no," works with sex, like Nancy Reagan said it would for drugs. That went well.      Contraception without co-pay is now a very viable thing but let's face it: we live in an environment of political loonies who turn into Tweek  if sex is at the core of any issue. So my concern in SexCult this week is this:  Will Common Sense Contraception Without Co-Pay Be Derailed by Crazy?

I totally slacked off on posting Sex Feed this week, partly because it's been a crazily busy one and partly because I think subconsciously, after posting about that woman with the nipple on her foot (last post) that I just didn't think things could get any better. Though I did like: Lesbian couple told not to hold hands - at a Gertrude Stein exhibit ... Texas shows why abstinence only sex ed doesn't work and that saying it does doesn't make it so .... Oklahoma's masturbating ex-judge faces new charges .... Men can file sex discrimination lawsuits, too ..... College students sexting & how easy it is for a hacker to put your private images on the web .... and  Senate confirms first openly gay male judge. Hope you do, too!

There has been so much more to Sex Feed in the last two days....the  sperm-sniffing dog from Sweden ... Florida's problem defining 'sex' is causing problems in court .... Giant Marilyn Monroe statue  is erected in Chicago... straight man turned away from a blood bank for appearing to be gay ..and  advice on how to show your boobs off, from 1694 . But no matter how big or ironic or confusing you are, you're going to end up with the silver or copper medals when you happen to make news on the day the world discovers a woman  with a nipple on her foot.  Her shoe size is 36C.

This week in Sex Feed: Great news on the anti-HIV front in  HIV drugs can also protect partners of the HIV positive . Also for those of you who were always dubious about Barbie she may have been inspired by a  Nazi sex doll meant to prevent STD s. Why do we have to wait til October for it to be illegal to have sex with lions and tigers and bears and anything else not quite human? Who's trying to get a little more time in? This guy:  Florida's anti-beastiality sex laws can't go into effect fast enough . Super-uplifting news as  Girls take all the top prizes at the Google Science Fair,  bad news for alpha males, baboons at least - they are just as  stressed out as the guys at the bottom of the ladder . And finally, my favorite:  the new gay hotel chain that's so beautiful I'm going to live there.  Look at it fercrissakes! SEEYA!

Wow it's been an embarrassment of quickies in the last two days on Sex Feed - watch for more on  SeXis today! Sister Wives family wants Utah to back off, Giant Erection-Causing Spider Missing in German Supermarket , Bloomberg to Officiate Gay Wedding at Gracie Mansion , New STD superbug isolated in Japan Texas jury denies claim of woman who alleged rape in Iraq When Kissing is an Art: The Portraits of Natalie Irish  and an update on this  Mila Kunis asked for date by soldier in Afghanistan  -  Justin Timberlake  talked her into saying yes

From the past few days of Sex Feed, in case you missed it:  Two female judges  have legal trouble on account of dirty pictures (one takes them, another starred in them), a bank robber in Michigan files a five-page handwritten lawsuit demanding  porn in jail  (clearly his hands need to be busy with something),  Casey Anthony Loses Porn Offer,  and my favorite, Ohio state Senator Robert Mecklenborg (R) who made crazy speeches on behalf of Ohio's extremely restrictive anti-abortion "heartbeat bill" is caught drunk driving  at around 3 a.m., on Viagra, with not-his-wife and didn't bother letting his fellow Senators know about his arrest.   As one columnist pointed out, guess who suddenly thinks some things are private matters?

Erin Cooper, a doctoral student at Temple University has done some interesting research on why most women - as Sally so unforgettable told a stricken Harry - have, at one time or another, faked an orgasm. Check out what she has to say, what I have to say and what acclaimed writer  Susan Crain Bakos  has to say in   Why Do Women Fake Orgasms? New Research Has Some Surprising Answers And I promise - none of us are faking it.

I admit it: I got too distracted watching the Casey Anthony verdict, followed by a pile-up of Futurama episodes (which were more enjoyable though not quite as surprising) to post, so here's SexFeed from the past couple of days.... Korean study on how finger-length-ratio can tell you penis size (especially on men) ... DSK's new suit .... Michigan inmate sues for porn in prison  and finally  no matter how great the sex is, this was a bad idea.

 What you might have missed this week on Sex Feed: Thai "ladyboys" need new ID cards (and will be the pride of one airline) ,  NY officially recognizes gay couples as eligible for conjugal visits,   Sex Change Surgery on Kids in India, Amy Poehler's Awesome Support for Planned Parenthood,   Anthony Weiner's wife needs some time off...from work and from him ... and my personal favorite,  two people up on murder charges in separate cases get married in jail in California. That's so weird and so intriguing...I wish I'd gotten to talk to them (and their officiate) for my book  Crazy Little Thing: Why Love and Sex Drive Us Mad   (which is currently available for pre-order on Amazon if I haven't told you 856 times). Maybe it's time to start planning some sequels.... Crazy Little Thing 2: Bride of Crazy. Er somethin. Have a great weekend!
