There’s a ton of interesting info in this graphic, but it’s especially striking how condom use decreases with age, even with casual partners. Condoms shouldn’t be something you grow out of as you get older — the protection they offer against STDs is unrivaled by any other form of birth control besides abstinence! Your high school sweetheart may not be in your life anymore, but condoms should be.

Ever wonder why areolas, the dark area around the nipple, have little bumps? So have scientists. And when scientists wonder something, they get to finding out.
Turns out that the bumps might have something to do with helping newborns smell their way towards their mother’s breast milk. New mothers with more bumps started producing milk sooner and their babies gained weight faster. They also found that scent of secretions from these bumps encouraged newborn feeding behaviors like sucking and licking. Bodies are cool!
