Online dating, a cautionary tale.

2009 is here and like most people, I have a friend who has decided that this is the last year he will be single.

Good for him. I'm just hoping 2009 will be better for him than 2008 was. Last year, he decided to try online dating.

Online dating is the new singles bar. With sites like Match.com and eHarmony.com, you're sure to find someone to end your singleness. However, these sites aren't cheap. And if you're on a budget, you might try something that's free.

If you do, beware.

This brings me back to my friend and his quest for love. He went to Craig's List. There he met a girl, who said she was a student at a local university. He said they e-mailed each other and talked on the phone for a few weeks before meeting.

The first time they met, he said they had sex. Then he showed me the pictures. Let's just say, I saw a side of my homeboy that I never wanted to see. You know, the naked side.

Anyway, when he returned home the following evening, someone had kicked his door in. Taken was the video camera that he and Ms. Craig's List used the night before to make a movie of their sexual activity.

His credit card, some coins and cash were also missing. My first question was, how do you know she did it?

Well, he said, he lives on the third floor of his building. Not many random robbers pick the third floor units. True.

And, he added, she called him around 10:30 a.m. and that was when one of his neighbors saw two guys knocking on his door. She has two brothers, he revealed.

When she was inside his apartment, before they started having sex, she kept commenting on how nice his place was. Of course, I told him, hindsight is 20/20. And he admits that he was thinking about head, not using his head.

Besides, she had been talking a lot of junk about him not being able to handle her and he had to prove her wrong. It's a good thing he had renter's insurance.

Later, I thought to myself, it's funny how women are always being warned about online dating, but men aren't.

But safety knows no sex. So, if you want to meet someone new via the worldwide web, be safe.

And whatever you do, don't bring a one night stand home. That's why the Motel 6 leaves the light on for you.

Why do we have sex?

Posted By on Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 8:45 AM

I was surfing the Internet this weekend and came across an old study that identifies 237 reasons why people have sex.

Expressing love and showing affection were in the top 10 for both men and women, but they did take a back seat to the clear No. 1: "I was attracted to the person."

Researchers at the University of Texas spent five years and their own money to study the overlooked "why" behind sex while others were spending their time on the "how."

"It's refuted a lot of gender stereotypes ... that men only want sex for the physical pleasure and women want love," said University of Texas clinical psychology professor Cindy Meston, the study's co-author. "That's not what I came up with in my findings."

What was the most interesting and possibly most disturbing part of all of this are the bottom 10 reasons why men and women have sex with each other.

BOTTOM 10 REASONS TO HAVE SEX FOR MEN

1. The person offered to give me drugs for doing it.

2. I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease.

3. I wanted to punish myself.

4. I wanted to break up my relationship.

5. I wanted to get a job.

6. It was an initiation rite

7. Someone offered me money

8. I was afraid to say "no" due to possibility of physical harm

9. To make money

10. To feel closer to God

BOTTOM 10 REASONS TO HAVE SEX FOR WOMEN

1. I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease.

2. Someone offered me money to do it.

3. I wanted to get a raise.

4. It was an initiation rite to a club or organization.

5. I wanted to get a job.

6. To get a promotion

7. The person offered me drugs for it

8. To punish myself

9. To hurt/humiliate the person

10. To feel closer to God

There are some sick people out there, so it is important to make sure the person you're having sex with isn't a total nut job. Who wants to spread an STD? Not only is it morally wrong, in some cases it's illegal.

After reading this report, I remembered the case of the "Trashman." Last year he punked the world by going on YouTube and claiming to have infected 1,500 women with HIV.

His videos have been removed, but even though his videos were a hoax, there are people out there who would spread STDs as if they were planting seeds.

So, why do we have sex? Just for the pleasure? To spread some pain? To show someone we care?

No matter why we have sex, we should seriously be concerned about who we're having sex with.

It's the best excuse for running a stop sign.

Posted By on Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at 8:03 AM

Charles Barkley, you are a role model.

The Hall of Fame basketballer was arrested in Arizona on Wednesday for DUI. But CNN reported yesterday that when he ran a stop sign, his charge should have been, Driving While Horny.

I'm paraphrasing, of course.

According to CNN, Barkley wanted to go and get head. He actually told police that the woman who was going to do it had done it the week before and it was the best he'd ever had in his life.

How can you be mad at a man who blows a stop sign to go get blown? If he was driving drunk, then he should face charges, at least he's taken full responsibility for his actions.  But I'm sure when he was released, his lady friend gave him just what he went to jail for.

Banging in the new year

Posted By on Thu, Jan 1, 2009 at 7:45 AM

There are nine things you can do to make 2009 your most sensual year ever.

1. Role play with your lover.

    Meet your mate to a hot bar in Uptown Charlotte, try Blue or Hom. Make sure you show up 15 minutes late. If you're a woman, wear a long dress and no underwear. Cozy up to your sweetie at the bar and strike up a conversation. Make sure you don't talk about anything going on in your life.

    2. Surprise your lover with a sexy story about what you want to do to him or her.

    You don't have to be a novelist to write a tale about a night of sex. Think of all of the things you'd like to happen in the bedroom and write it down. Place your story, no matter how long or short, in your lover's briefcase or lunch bag before he or she leaves for work. Make sure you tell him or her to text you or call you when they are done reading.

    3. Try a little bondage.

    Hit the Red Door or an adult store like it to purchase your first bondage kit. Make sure you've talked to your lover about this venture. It can be a little difficult to talk someone into being tied up, so if it makes it easier, you allow someone else to take control.

    4. Be the star of your own porno.

    Everyone has a sex tape these days. Why not you? Set up a video camera in your bedroom or be real risky and find a public place to video tape you and your lover doing the do.

    5. Give up sex for a week.

    Sounds strange? Well, if absence makes the heart grow fonder, imagine what it does to the libido. Court your lover, go to the movies and dinner and end the night with just a simple kiss. At the end of the week, your sex session will be so hot, you may need to miss the next day at work.

    6. Join a gym with your mate.

    Working out together will spice things up in the bedroom. As you both burn calories and lose weight, you will also learn how far you two can go with those Kama Sutra moves.

    7. Kidnap his or her favorite thing and ransom it for sex.

    Does your mate love a specific video game? Does your woman have a pair of shoes that she can't live without? Try taking that item and sending a ransom note. If he wants Madden 2008 back, then he has to do that thing with his tongue for a week. If she wants those heels back, then she's going to have kiss you down there where you really like it.

    8. Have adult movie night.

    Rent or buy a few porn movies and watch — or log on the Internet, and get some pointers. Or laugh at the bad acting in some of the movies.

    9. Masturbate.

    You can't expect anyone to please you if you can't please yourself. Take the time to touch yourself this year, at least once a week.

    If you need a soundtrack, listen to this song while you do it:
