Mary Roach—author of sexy science tome “Bonk” and the first person to star in an ultrasound porno—has learned a lot about sex over the past few years…and she wants to tell all. And during this year’s TED Talks, she got her chance.

Yes, while others were presenting on India’s future and the mathematics of war (and—sigh—spreading misinformation about porn), Mary took it upon herself to school her colleagues in the science of orgasm. Her talk just got put up on TED’s website—and trust us, we’re pretty sure it was the highlight of the whole shebang. Check it out below (though, fair warning, it’s about 20 minutes).

Last year, Isabella Rossellini taught us about the birds and the bees—or at least the bees—in her bug porn spectacular, “Green Porno.” From fireflys to spiders to snails, no insect sex life was left unexamined.

But Isabella’s interested in more than just bugs—that’s why season two of “Green Porno” leaves the land and goes under the sea, taking peek at the mating habits of all sorts of ocean life. Get a sneak peak in the teaser video below, and be sure to check out the series on Sundance Channel’s website when it launches April 1.

Maybe it’s just us, but we’d think that a flailing economy would lead more sex, not less. Isn’t a no brainer? Sex is free entertainment, people. Why would you cut back on that?

Well, we’re not sure—but apparently there are people who are. Specifically, people who read The Daily Beast—the site just released the results of their Valentine’s Day survey, unveiling this depressing and completely unromantic statistic.

So what do you think: is this phenomenon limited to the Daily Beast demographic, or are you affected by the sex recession (sexcession?) as well? If this trend starts to spread across the nation—well, it’s a good thing we have that stockpile of porn.
