The Reading List for July 10, 2014

– This was the most interesting headline I’ve read in a long time, via Gawker: “Pornhub Begs Users to Stop Uploading Video of Germany Fucking Brazil.” And it’s safe for work!

– And this was a headline, let alone a subject, I never thought I would see in Reuters: “Poppers may damage eyesight.”

– Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst walks the runway in Paris for Jean-Paul Gaultier. BuzzFeed sums it up: “This is how you walk.”

– Great piece by Xtra’s Justin Ling on the changes to sex-work legislation and how it’s all unfolding in Parliament.

– Laverne Cox is once again a cover story, this time in The Advocate.

– And last but not least, Mental Floss takes a peek at myths around sex.
