The Fox news has gone ahead and listed out the sex findings of 2008 that repeated the same old facts. Though 'sex sells' however the media did not provide the public with any new findings.

Men with 'masculine' faces and women with 'attractive' faces reportedly had more of casual sex, as concluded by the Researchers at the University of Durham in Britain.

2. Unplanned pregnancy affects her quality of life:

4. She's good to ride horses:

Horseback riding does not affect a female's sexual health, this was verified by Dr. Shaheen Alanee and colleagues at the University of Minnesota.

5. Methamphetamine use makes for risky sexual behaviors

Usage of methamphetamine is associated with risky sexual behaviors and adolescent pregnancy, the findings did not come as a surprise as it has long been known that substance abuse is associated with risky sexual behavior. The fact was reported by a research in the Journal of School Health.

6. He said/she said:

The gender divide on the out look of sex was once again highlighted by research in the College Student Journal. The study talked about how oral sex was not viewed as sex by the men whereas the women very much thought that it is a sexual act.

10. Intra ... what?

IUD - intrauterine device was widely unknown by more than 60 percent of 14- to 24-year-old females. This was uncovered in a survey conducted in September 2008 issue of Contraception. The findings were not new, as the youth do not receive education on contraception.

11 It''s all in your head:

Sex is a mind-body-soul experience as told by the sexologists, with the brains as the largest sex organ. However a portuguese study this year reported that men''s concern over erection negatively correlated with sexual arousal. For women, lack of erotic thoughts and failure to control intrusive thoughts were found to impact their sexual response.

12. Parents want comprehensive sex education:
