Have Ivanka Trump and her implants replaced me as the Time Out Chicago sex columnist? According to their April Fool’s issue - which many people believed to be true - one would think so.

In this week’s REAL issue, you can read my weekly In&Out sex column including questions from readers about:
- getting a tepid sex life back on track (she wants sex, he’s tired and in grad school and not into it)
- female genital circumcision and whether sex therapy is worthy of recommending to readers
- whether an age difference of 16 years (he’s younger, she’s older) can work

Although technically if it’s going on one’s clitoris, it is usually a vibrator (not a dildo). That aside, check out this video (and thanks to reader M. for the alert):

This video nails it all: the realities of sex. Premature ejaculation, (faking) orgasm, male body image, comfortable penetration, having to wake up early in the morning. And it’s all set to music!

Artist Spencer Tunick is putting together another installation, this time in Vienna. If you live in or around Vienna, I would highly encourage the experience. Learn more about participating here - they are accepting an unlimited number of women and men who are willing to sit or stand naked in the stadium during the photographs. And if you happen to have an extra ticket to Vienna, send me to go!! I would love to participate but, alas, airline tickets are $1000. Yikes.

The Hospital for Sick Children (I know, not the best name) has the COOLEST web site I have seen all week… maybe even in many weeks. If you go to this page on their site, then click on Genitals on the left hand side, you can see how fetal genital development happens (in a nutshell, of course, nothing too complex is shown here). When I teach human sexuality, I like to point out how the tissue that becomes the head of the penis also becomes the clitoral glans, and the tissue that becomes a male scrotum becomes the labia majora in women, and so on. Doing so, I think, can help students to learn about how our genitals are more similar than we realize, as well as issues around sensitivity (like how the head of the penis and the clitoral glans are sensitive in similar ways). Wow - you have go to play around with this site.

Jake and Amir are among my favorites in the funny video category. Here is their latest - an awesome look at the making of March Madness brackets (with a few sex references included, making it not entirely off-topic):

On Friday April 11, I’ll be participating in an event at Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre in Chicago. It’s called Literally Sexy - here’s a description:

"Spring is here, and libidos are hatching.  Forget the oysters, try a late night variety show focused on all things sex-Literally Sexy - burlesque, drag, bondage, erotica, comedy - all in one hot night Friday, April 11th at 10:30 pm, at the Victory Gardens Biograph Theater, 2433 N. Lincoln Avenue, Chicago.
 
This alluring evening includes a variety of Chicago’s freshest performing artists such as GayCo Productions, The Neo-Futurists, The Flaming Dames, 2nd Story, Arlene Malinowski, and Time Out Chicago’s sex columnist Dr. Debby Herbenick. The evening, hosted by Chicago’s own femme fatale, David Cerda (of Hell in a Handbag Productions) will be flowing with cocktails, music, and wine samples from Naked Winery. Plus, shop the arousing wares of G Boutique.

The mood will be set the moment you walk into the Biograph. Music and burlesque dancers will liven up the lobby as you browse for lingerie and accessories from G Boutique. Naked Winery will be on hand with samples and selling glasses of their most popular labels, ‘Penetration’, ‘Vixen’, and ‘Missionary’. $2 Pabst Blue Ribbons will be served along with a full bar.
 
The night will begin in the Biograph mainstage with host David Cerda as your favorite Madame. The fast-paced show will transition between hysterical, yet clever sketch comedy, to sensual personal stories, salacious yet teasing dances, and titillating plays to make you quiver. Sexy yes, but never taking itself too seriously. After all, sex can be hot and funny.
 
So don’t miss this provocative, sensual, smart, funny late-night sexy show. Tickets are $15. For tickets and information, call the Victory
Gardens box office - 773.871.3000 - or buy tickets online at victorygardens.org."

The Louisville C-J article (mentioned below) makes reference to a SNL skit for "Annuale" - a pill that, like Seasonale and Lybrel, keeps women from having their period. Check it out here:
