I'm taking a Human Sexuality course this semester, and I have an upcoming project coming up. It's not that I really need help, but I would like to expand my resources a bit. I have to find any kind of source(s) that relates to human sexuality, write a paper about it, then present it. It can be an article, a book, a headline, or anything with a valid source. I found some good articles already, but I was wondering if anyone here knew or heard of any good stories relating to health science and sex. Thanks in advance!
Oh, and my presentation has to be 45 minutes long, so please don't give me a 1 paragraph summary of an article. The longer, the better.

not the best source but a possible topic that could easily take up 45 min: Gay men in twin studies http://www.nytimes.com/1991/12/17/scien ... study.html (http://www.nytimes.com/1991/12/17/science/gay-men-in-twin-study.html)

Women who exercise regularly are several orders of magnitude more likely to orgasm than women who do not. Check out the work of Cindy Meston at the University of Texas. She's the person who got me interested in science when I took her Human Sexuality class and volunteered to work in her research lab.
Seriously? I can get research credit by studying sex and female orgasm? Where do I sign up?

You probably couldn't use this (http://blog.blowfish.com/) as a source in its own right. It's just a blog. But boy does she have a lot of ideas about sex. She's a bisexual atheist who regularly posts thoughtful articles on sexuality.
