Women who cycle regularly are at risk of decreased sensation in the pelvic region, according to a new study. Scientists at Yale University found that female cyclists, whose handlebars were lower than their seat of their bike, may experience less pleasure during sex. They learned

The findings were based on analysis of 48 women who each rode at least ten miles per week, four weeks per month.

Pushing up his sleeves and letting his fingers make one more run through his deliberately tousled hair, he reaches for a bit of charcoal on his studio table and goes at the three finished canvases again.

In minutes, his fingertips are black, his forearms are smudged and theres one more layer on the triptych he has dubbed Divine Intervention. Just in time for the curators to pick it up.
