Yet another lesson in the wonders of the sexiest organ of all, the brain.

According to science… A new survey says… Research reveals…
These days it seems the only thing more plentiful than a Kardashian-laden headline is a web page covered with the latest and greatest studies about our behavior. Especially when it comes to sex!
When it comes to sexual surroundings, most encounters happen in the bedroom, or at least a room of some kind. Sometimes, though, we yearn for something a little more… dangerous, so to speak.
