What a week!
It started out with some very exciting personal news, visits with old friends, and teaching 160 undergraduate students in a human sexuality class (I have THE BEST class! They ask tons of questions, aren’t shy about raising their hands and they are incredibly attentive. Plus funny!).
And then yesterday, I woke up with a [...]
I’m not sure how this escaped my attention, but I’ve just learned that Babeland has come out with another book. This one is called Moregasm (*love* the title!) – though I haven’t read it yet so I cannot say a yay or nay either way except that Babeland rarely fails to impress.

My wonderful colleague, Bill Taverner, has focused attention on his Sexually Smarter blog to the Case of the Naked Snowlady. Apparently a New Jersey family created this beautiful classic artistic rendition – in snow, of course – of Venus de Milo. And then their neighbors called the police because she was naked!

But anyone who’s had sex for longer than a few months of their lives knows that sex isn’t [...]
Apparently Facebook had a bug that accidentally sent private Facebook messages to the WRONG RECIPIENTS. Yet another reason to not put something down on email, including Facebook, if you truly don’t want it to ever stumble into the wrong hands. Or if it could ruin your marriage or your work or, I don’t know, your [...]
Part of having better, more enjoyable and – yes, possibly more easily orgasmic – sex has to do with learning about it. Most women and men didn’t learn much about sex in middle school or high school. If you did learn about sex, you probably learned mostly about preventing infections or pregnancy or the myriad [...]
