The back-on-again couple did a great interview (aka routine) on The Jimmy Kimmel Show recently. Here is Part 1.

I like it when a Dad has his priorities straight.

If you live in or around the Cincinnati area, I hope you will join me at the Patty Brisben Foundaton’s annual gala. I go every year (find me in photos from the 2006 event) and it is a wonderful time - the music is fantastic, the food is delicious and proceeds are directed toward the Foundation’s efforts to improve research and education around women’s sexual health and wellness issues. Hope to see you there!

Lately I’ve been wishing I had a dog. Last week I was very pug-focused. Then I realized that as much as I’d like to take a dog running in the woods and playing frisbee in the park, a pug may not be the right dog for me as they like to sleep 14 hours and have short legs. A springy, lab-like mutt from the pound may be a better choice. Today while I was out running errands, I stopped by a pet store who works with kind breeders and families to find homes for sweet little puppies and kitties. Take a look at the dogs I fell in love with - first and foremost, this maltese who was really hyper and jumping up and down for attention:

Here is a photo of the white poodle (from the below threesome of poodles) while I was playing with her:

The maltese from afar:

And check out the threesome of poodles - the black one was super chilled out:

Bottom line: I REALLY want a dog. Can you tell?

A new study says "maybe". Well, truly that adds to a lot of other "maybe" voices. Recently I was at an event at which a woman who was about 3 months along in her pregnancy sipped some wine and also sipped a bit from her husband’s margarita. Others were (quietly) discussing the realities of drinking during pregnancy, such as whether completing avoiding alcohol during pregnancy was a uniquely American phenomenon and whether the occasional sips (or drinks) would be harmful. A couple of years ago, actress Gwyneth Paltrow made headlines for drinking the occasional beer while pregnant. Read what the CDC has to say about drinking alcohol during pregnancy.

Amazing. If you haven’t watched it yet - please do.

There is very little that can keep me away from a public event hosted by Pure Romance’s founder, Patty Brisben. However, last week when she came to Indiana University for a Sexploration event, I was in Mexico for a wedding so I missed what I hear was an outstanding event at Kilroy’s (a bar near the IU Bloomington campus).

Patty is one of those women who is brave, confident, smart, engaging and completely down to earth. She’s spoken in my human sexuality class in previous years, as have her health educators, and my students have always said that they have left class feeling more knowledgeable and more comfortable about their bodies and sexuality. She also recently published a book called Pure Romance Between the Sheets: Find Your Best Sexual Self and Enhance Your Intimate Relationship that you can learn about on Amazon.

This one is another classic. And in case you are wondering, it really DOES matter who you vote for. Obama is supportive of all kinds of sexual health issues (e.g., comprehensive sex education, reproductive health issues, health insurance, benefits for same sex couples) so he gets my vote. And you?

What would you get up to in this bed?????? I took this photo in a shop that was mostly full of random objects such as plates, books, religious figures and - I’m not making this up - random Disney and Kermit the Frog souvenirs.
