Oxytocin: The Pseudoscience of the Hook-Up Hormone

In which I explain how abstinence proponents turn completely legit scientific studies into junk science. Their conclusions? Don’t have sex.

I'm Lena Chen, a writer and media producer who's been called a "skank" (by Bill O'Reilly) and "a small Asian woman" (by The New York Times). My favorite part of my workday is the hate mail.

I got started blogging as an undergrad at Harvard, where I started the infamous Sex and the Ivy blog. My life and my Google results haven't been the same since. Nowadays, you can catch me online talking all things sex-related on Sex Really With Lena Chen, a webcast for Bedsider.org, and Sexy Times, a web series debuting in January 2012 on gURL.com. I have mixed feelings toward the portmanteau "sexpert".

When not playing Agony Aunt to teen girls across America, I organize feminist and queer advocacy efforts, including Feminist Pride Day and Rethinking Virginity. For the full story, check out my biography and portfolio.
