Gretchen Carlson's sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News CEO and baked potato Roger Ailes is unusually public, says the Chicago Tribune, which could severely impact when and how Ailes will leave the network. Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle defended Ailes, saying, "He's a champion of women... I've talked to 30, at least, fellow colleagues at Fox, and not one of them said anything inappropriate was ever said or transpired." Guilfoyle continued, "Roger isn't inappropriate at all. And he almost always gives useful tips during his morning blowjob."

A topless photo and alleged "sex tape" of the Virgin Islands Democratic Senate nominee Stacey Plaskett circulated the internet this week, before being taken down. Political pundits are saying that this shouldn't affect the upcoming election, however, due to the fact that most of her fellow Congresspeople she'd be working with don't know where the Virgin Islands are.

The American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement Monday, imploring pediatricians to initiate more thorough conversations with their young adult patients about sex. The Academy would like to see pediatricians across the country talking to their patients about contraceptives, as well as how to have responsible sex, and healthy relationships. Pediatricians speculate that this method should prove to be more useful than Becky telling you about that one time when she walked into her parents' bedroom and she was just looking for some money to buy jelly beans but they were doing something weird and she got a stomach ache.

Meanwhile in Europe, Sweden's Public Health Agency is launching a 3-year study into Swedes' sex lives. The goal of the study is to better understand what people find enjoyable, rather than just focusing on social sexual issues, like veneral diseases, unwanted pregnancies, and rape. Said their Health Minister Gabriel Wikstrom, "How can we change attitudes when so many people, from parents to teachers to senior officials, are so obviously uncomfortable when talking about sex?" Surveys conducted by Swedish tabloids show that Swedes are having less sex, and the study also aims to discover if that's the case, and if so, why. Some Swedes speculate that it may be because everybody's so damn blond and everything is so damn perfect so what's the point anymore.

Here's what July has brought us:

Oakland police are in hot water with their mayor, Libby Schaaf. There have been multiple scandals recently, involving officers sending racist texts to African-Americans, and multiple officers engaging in sex with the same underage prostitute in exchange for information about the force's prostitution stings. Partially due to the constant upheaval, three of their police chiefs resigned in just a little over a week. Mayor Schaaf made a frustrated public statement, saying, "I'm here to run a police department, not a frat house." Outgoing police chief Sean Whent shrugged and responded, "Tomato, tomato."

A study by a professor from Cornell University published this month, found that married couples who equally share a workload in their household are more likely to have more frequent sex, rather than couples who follow more traditional gender roles, and place expectation on the wife to do most household chores. Responded the study's female participants, "No shit, Sherlock."

a 25-year-old Pennsylvania woman pleaded guilty this past Wednesday to "disorderly conduct" after her neighbor called the cops on her for having such loud sex, it was rattling her neighbor's furniture. She was sentenced to 45 to 90 days in jail, in addition to her current jail time she's served since she was first sentenced in March. Her neighbor reportedly called the cops because she was jealous that she hadn't experienced anything that good since she confused her son's marijuana for oregano at her last pasta party.

Former Fox news anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit towards Fox CEO Roger Ailes, after getting fired from the company. Carlson's complaint read that when Carlson met with Ailes to discuss the persistent and intense sexual harassment he had perpetuated towards her, Ailes said, "I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better." Carlson also claims that Ailes would ogle Carlson's rear, commenting on her figure, making numerous comments about her legs, and complaining that marriage was ‘boring,’ ‘hard,’ and ‘not much fun.'" This unfortunately is also what Ailes' wife says about him to her therapist. Hey-o!

Move over, Cosby- you've got some competition in the raging douchebag department. Six more women came forward and talked to New York Magazine this week about their sexual harassment and assault experiences with Fox News overlord Roger Ailes. Each of the six had similar stories, usually involving Ailes offering them a job or to make them famous if they'd have sex with him, and putting them down when they wouldn't. Ailes responded to the article in a public statement: "That's the only way I can get women to touch my penis. Have you seen it? It looks like the inside of an undercooked blood sausage."
