If you haven’t already sent out your cards, ordered flowers or otherwise found ways to recognize the important mothers in your life (yours or other women who are important to you), now is the time to do so. Dads, this is also a great time to recognize your child’s mom - whether or not you are still together with her. One new dad I know is throwing a party for his wife, which I personally think is incredible. Very good sex and relationship karma.

Exciting news. Thanks to a talented developer, we have our very own MySexProfessor Facebook app that rotates interesting (or at least I think they’re interesting - after all, I wrote them!) facts about sex and relationships. You can add it to your Facebook profile here. And if you’re on Facebook, add me as a friend already, will you?

Sixty years ago tomorrow, Dr. Alfred Kinsey and his research team published the results of thousands of interviews with men about their sexual histories in the ground-breaking book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male which popularly became known as "the Kinsey Report". Listen to this great NPR report about Dr. Kinsey’s work in Answering Dr. Kinsey, which airs today Friday January 4 at 1:00pm EST. Here is the NPR release:

Incidentally, January 5 is also my birthday.

Answering Dr. Kinsey

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the first Kinsey Report on Human Sexual Behavior. The identity of many of the participants who divulged the details of their sex lives to Kinsey remains secret. However, one woman decided to shed her anonymity.

Dr. Alice Ginott-Cohn was interviewed by Dr. Kinsey when she was 19 years old. He was seeking female volunteers in her psychology class at Indiana University. Alice says she found Kinsey very attractive and comforting, so she volunteered to be interviewed. Dick Gordon talks to Alice about the famous study and how participating in it has influenced her own life and work.

Teenagers can make their own sex ed videos and win thousands of dollars for college and/or just plain cash. Most people will have sex in their lives - and the vast majority of women and men will have had sex - even just once or twice - by the time that they are in their early to mid twenties. About half of young women and men will have tried sex by the time they leave high school. So why not teach them about sex and how to reduce the risk of infection and unintended pregnancy, what to expect at the gynecologist, the importance of testicular and vulvar self-examinations (even if one is NOT sexually active) and such?
