Everything you know about sex is true.

Wooldom, the woolly condom!

A Japanese lingerie retailer that sells underwear for cross-dressing men has found that bras have become one of its most popular items.

Since launching two weeks ago on Rakuten, a major Japanese web shopping mall, the Wishroom shop has sold over 300 men's bras for 2,800 yen (£20) each.

"I like this tight feeling. It feels good," Wishroom representative Masayuki Tsuchiya said.

Wishroom Executive Director Akiko Okunomiya said she was surprised at the number of men who were looking for their inner woman. "I think more and more men are becoming interested in bras. Since we launched the men's bra, we've been getting feedback from customers saying 'wow, we'd been waiting for this for such a long time'," she said.

Rakuten say the bra, which comes in black, pink and white, will “make you feel more gentle” and “give you a sense of relief - because that is a very important feeling to have”.

The underwear has stirred a heated debate online with more than 8,000 people debating the merits of men wearing bras in one night on Mixi, Japan's top social network website.

ITP student Andrew Schneider has designed this nifty solar film bikini that charges your iPod! (With a USB connection!)

The suit is retrofitted with photovoltaic film strips sewn together with conductive thread. The cells terminate in a 5 volt regulator into a female USB connection

The male version of the Solar Bikini (coming soon) called the iDrink, features a greater surface area which equals more output voltage. This additional juice is used to power a 1.5 amp peltier junction which cools a single beer in a custom coozy.

The iDrink solar swimware line is perfect for those who want to go the beach, listen to music, and enjoy a cold and deserved beverage, but who don't want to get wet! You've got tunes, you've got beer, you've got sun, and you've got eachother in swimwear. The rest is up to you.
