Deborah Kotz, "Why Do Women Have Sex?," Yahoo! News (Oct. 8, 2009, orig. from US News and World Report)

  • The No. 1 reason is because they're attracted to their partner, followed by their seeking of physical gratification. Lower down on the list, the reasons were connected to love or emotional bonding. This sort of knocks down the stereotype that men have sex for pleasure while women have sex for love. Personally, for me--in my 17 years treating women who have sexual problems--it's reassuring to see that most of the women who participated in our survey are having sex for the pure physical pleasure of it.

  • The series will address a range of religious traditions and political viewpoints in the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world.

Sam Harris et al., "The Neural Correlates of Religious and Nonreligious Belief," PLoS ONE 4 (October 2009): e7272+

From the abstract: "While religious faith remains one of the most significant features of human life, little is known about its relationship to ordinary belief at the level of the brain. Nor is it known whether religious believers and nonbelievers differ in how they evaluate statements of fact. Our lab previously has used functional neuroimaging to study belief as a general mode of cognition [1], and others have looked specifically at religious belief [2]. However, no research has compared these two states of mind directly."

Personal site for an academic I greatly respect. I've been wanting to contact him. He also lists lots of favorite links in the "Activism" section, mostly having to do with sustainable food systems, climate change, and free speech issues.
