Studies abound hailing the benefits of touch - from the soft and silky skin of the newborn - to the hairy and wrinkly version we carry as grownups. The stimulation of our largest organ is fundamental to our mental and physical well being. Sadly though, not enough of us are being touched in adulthood. There is actually a market now for robotic hugs and even a new phenomenon in New York City...

For most of us, sex education ends with that last health class sometime in early high school.

Sex and Rock n Roll
