According to a recent report, the lube business is sliding toward becoming a $25 billion industry by the year 2025. “Industry growth is being driven by a number of factors, including more open conversations about sex, the increasing popularity of sex toys and adult goods and the...
S***, shower, shave: the three S’s of a successful grooming routine, but an elusive process to perfect. It takes a disciplined diet and schedule to become a same-time-every-day pooper. My own BM schedule is haphazard and borderline dangerous — too many times have I experienced the shame of the...
The number of people participating in the month-long alcohol detox known as Dry January has increased fifteenfold in the last four years, and more of these booze-free months are popping up to address the apparently ever-growing desire to take a momentary break from trying to murder our...
For most air travelers, the real concern isn’t crashing, being hijacked or, y’know, snakes — it’s the germ-ridden in-flight air supply. We’ve all sat next to someone with chronic flatulence, or with a sweaty hangover that could easily be mistaken for ebola symptoms, wondering if each of their coughs,...
The idea of “blue balls” has always struck me as more of a defeated metaphor — disappointment over a hookup that fizzled out — rather than an actual medical condition. “I find it more appropriate to relate the color with how sad the situation really is,” sighed Sam, 32, to Bustle...

We all know there’s a certain satisfaction in blindly uprooting one or two nose hairs—or as many as can be corralled between the thumb and forefinger before the light turns green—and then celebrating with a massive, bestial sneeze. Trouble is, it turns out, this could kill you....
Low-carb (and even no-carb) diets have been all the rage as of late, promising weight loss by essentially mimicking starvation. But a recent study found that it’s moderate consumers of carbs who are actually less likely to die an early death, rather than those who consume either...
People are so bad at wiping their butts, doctors have coined a condition to mock them for it. It’s called PAS, or “polished anus syndrome,” and it comes from, in part, Americans’ abysmal bathroom hygiene. After doing our business, we take dry, rough toilet paper and smear...
On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon. “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” he famously proclaimed, as more than half a billion people watched on television. For many, their minds were full of...
