Penis size may matter more to men than women

Popular Science

Genitalia size does have some evolutionary benefits, but men remain a bit touchy about the subject. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Human history is full of juvenile jokes, odd stereotypes, and outright harmful misinformation about the size of a man's penis. But the long and short of the real science behind size suggests that men themselves are more likely than women to get riled up about the subject . According to a study published today in the journal, men routinely feel more physically and sexually threatened by well-endowed rivals--regardless of how women feel about the subjects.

This study presents an innovative AI-driven tool for diagnosing Peyronie's Disease (PD), a condition that affects between 0.3% and 13.1% of men worldwide. Our method uses key point detection on both images and videos to measure penile curvature angles, utilizing advanced computer vision techniques. This tool has demonstrated high accuracy in identifying anatomical landmarks, validated against conventional goniometer measurements. Traditional PD diagnosis often involves subjective and invasive methods, which can lead to patient discomfort and inaccuracies. Our approach offers a precise, reliable, and non-invasive diagnostic tool to address these drawbacks. The model distinguishes between PD and normal anatomical changes with a sensitivity of 96.7% and a specificity of 100%. This advancement represents a significant improvement in urological diagnostics, greatly enhancing the efficacy and convenience of PD assessment for healthcare providers and patients.


"Rejection," by Tony Tulathimutte, Reviewed: A Story Collection About People Who Just Can't Hang

The New Yorker

Not until I picked up Tony Tulathimutte's "Rejection" did I realize how fun it could be to read a book about a bunch of huge fucking losers. It sucks for them, the inept, lonely, self-obsessed, self-righteous, self-imprisoned protagonists of these linked stories, but it's a thrill for the sickos among us, the king being Tulathimutte, who gives loserdom its own rancid carnival. Tulathimutte understands the project--both his own and that of his characters--with diagnostic, comprehensive hyper-precision; as you behold his parade of marketplace failure and personal pathology, he's ten steps ahead of any reaction you could muster. Thus, you simply surrender to the sick pleasure of watching humiliating people humiliate themselves, as when a clammy self-styled feminist ally gets shut down by a girl and goes, "Grrr, friend-zoned again!" while shaking his fists at the ceiling, then creates a dating profile that includes the line "Unshakably serious about consent. These are two of the mildest ...

Slate

How to Do It is Slate's sex advice column. Send it to Stoya and Rich here. As a sexually dominant-leaning female, I get a lot of instant gratification out of gorgeous women online telling me my assertiveness is impressive and sexy. When I have sex with women in my dreams, it's perfect. While my "traditional" long-term relationships have been with male-presenting people, I slept with several women in my early 20s--though I struggled to find satisfying connections.


After Not Having Sex for Years, I Was Supposed to Hate an Obsession Men Have Nowadays. I Don't--I Kind of Love It.

Slate

Feeld Notes is a column about a middle-aged woman who suddenly realizes she wants to have sex again--and the beguiling app she uses to do it. I know that women aren't supposed to like dick pics. Themselves? (Guys my age never seem to send them.) I'm know I'm supposed to get upset about them. Take them as an affront.

Slate

This piece is part of Outward, Slate's home for coverage of LGBTQ life, thought, and culture. I've had a lot of dick in my DMs. Lopsided dicks caught pallid in the camera's harsh flash. Let me tell you: The onslaught has been relentless. I have had the full variety of male organ paraded before me.


S'pore app uses AI to analyze your dick pic for any potential signs of STDs

#artificialintelligence

Despite society generally being more open about personal health in the 21st century, penis health in particular is still something that's not openly discussed as much. Perhaps it's taboo in certain cultures, or maybe men just suffer from too much toxic masculinity and feel ashamed or embarrassed about the topic. This becomes a huge disadvantage for sexually-active men who are afraid to ask questions, or ask for help regarding penis-related issues. But Singapore-based startup HeHealth may have just the solution for weary men needing very important answers – in the form of a mobile app that uses AI to analyze a photo of your penis for any signs of sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs). All done in absolute discretion, of course.

The Sci-Fi Sex Scene That Changed My Life

Slate

Spark Notes is a recurring series about the lightbulb moments in sexual development. My parents were both readers, and they didn't let us watch that much TV. By the time I was 11, books had been my primary source of entertainment for as far back as my memory could go. Getting my adult library card in sixth grade was, in that context, a milestone of tremendous importance, a first moment of awe at being inducted into the grown-up world. Wandering into the adult stacks for the first time, I remember seeing the name Asimov in the "A" section in huge letters across dozens of titles, and taking two or three of them down to check them out.
