The average orgasm lasts less than 30 seconds—but we assign a lot of weight to those ephemeral episodes of ecstasy. People tend to have very strong opinions about what orgasms should be like and how and when and with whom we should be having them. But most of these opinions? Well, they’re not based in reality. We reached out to a few orgasm experts to get the skinny on what’s really going down downstairs.

They say young people don’t care about cars anymore. They say the culture is dying. They say human driving doesn’t even have a future. The Jalopnik community of readers, knows that isn’t true.

The ensuing silence felt like hours. A minute later I got my answer: “She was assassinated… along with her mom in Istanbul.” My heart fell into my stomach. The classroom started to spin. Another Syrian revolution activist murdered. Another stolen life to grieve.
Omar Bustamante/ Fusion Nambia doesn’t get a whole lot of positive press in the mainstream media these days. Sure, there’s the occasional human-interest article…the ghostly photos of the desert encroaching on Nambia’s suburbs… …or the zebra who lost her stripes. But there hasn’t really been any serious reporting on Nambia since The New York Times closed its bureau there in the early 1990s.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci)AP It may look like Trump’s presidency is a failure because he’s been so utterly inept at delivering on most of his policy proposals, but sometimes words are as important as actions. And those words are rebranding America’s image across the world in a meaningful way.

photo illustration by Fusion I rubbed my eyes in disbelief and looked again at Donald Trump’s latest tweet. I had read it correctly the first time. It was an unmistakable literary reference to authoritarian rule. Trump’s warning seemed clear: Protest begets repression, and submission leads to strength.
