Pourquoi les femmes dominent le marché du sexe?
Pourquoi est-ce que les femmes ont plus de facilité que les hommes à réaliser leurs fantasmes ? Pour l’écrivain Dunia Miralles, qui dissèque l'âme humaine dont fait partie la mécanique du sexe, il est à espérer que tout cela change et que les femmes soient, elles aussi, obligées de faire le premier pas… elles aussi confrontées à la possibilité qu’un homme se refuse. Ce serait «la vraie égalité», dit-elle.

Portrait of a porn star Duke freshman stands behind her alter-ego
How fast is the Internet? In the United States, information travels at about 8 megabytes per second. An email is sent in the span of 0.2 seconds on average, faster than the blink of an eye. A text message is even faster. That’s the speed between “send” and “sent,” between almost and permanent—because as parents, teachers, potential employers and public service announcements have warned us, the Internet is forever.
For a first-year woman at Duke, a half-second Google search transformed her from Lauren*, a college Republican and aspiring lawyer, into Aurora*, a rising porn starlet.

‘You See All Kinds of Stuff’: A Conversation With Europe’s Most Prolific Sperm Donor
Ed
Houben has 99 children. Maybe 100 by the time you read this. Several
more are already on the way. He has met many of them, but he has raised
none of them. Scattered throughout the Netherlands—his home country—and
the rest of Europe, they aren’t his.
Houben, 44, is a “charitable sperm donor,” devoting much of his free time (he is a tour guide by day) to helping lesbian couples, single women and infertile heterosexual couples conceive. When he began donating 15 years ago, he gave to a sperm bank. Now he prefers what he calls the “natural method”—that is, sex.

Cool Street Art & Inventive Urban Art
One of the great things about cool street art is how inventive and original it can be. It can be incredible how some people perceive the world and can create something seemingly out of nothing. It is the essence of opportunistic art and is often the most quoted and memorable pieces. Not all of the pieces I have included are created like this but are equally inventive and original.

Why We Cheat
I can tell you right away the most important sentence in the book, because I’ve lectured all over the world and this is the thing I say that turns heads most often: Very often we don’t go elsewhere because we are looking for another person. We go elsewhere because we are looking for another self. It isn’t so much that we want to leave the person we are with as we want to leave the person we have become.

What the World Looks Like From the Cockpit
For most photographers, making a great shot requires a quick, coordinated burst of framing, focusing, and exposing. But for aerial photographer Alex MacLean, that synchronization also includes making sure his airplane is flying steady. “It's a lot easier than trying to take pictures out of a car because you're dealing in 3-D space. The plane will fly itself straight and level. That's even without autopilot,” he said. “I usually set myself up, pick up the camera for five or 10 seconds, and take the picture out an open window.”
