The Sexologist 10 mistakes men make when dating online
Posted By Becky Knight on Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 9:21 AM
I have mixed feelings about online dating. Sure, it has its benefits (convenience, a large and varied selection of men, and a sense of control over my destiny), but I am uneasy with the realization that I am very literally shopping for a man in about the same way I shop for wine - I stroll the aisle hoping the right bottle will catch my eye. I make my drink selections based on first impressions: do I like the color and shape of the bottle? Is the packaging attractive and inviting? Do I like the name?
I scroll through my lists of potential matches the same way, scanning profile pics and usernames awaiting an attraction, an instant connection. I think most online daters do the same. Potential dates have only a few seconds with which to get our attention. It is amazing, then, that people do not take the time to make a good first impression.
I suggest the following Don'ts, which I've found after my year of online dating aren't so obvious. (They're also inspired by true events.)

Interviews The stages of Lisa Ann
Posted By Shawn Alff on Tue, Oct 15, 2013 at 4:18 PM
Of the 50 most googled women in the world of 2012, Lisa Ann ranked 43. Sarah Palin didn't even make the list. Mainstream media might have latched onto Ann as a fluent and informed mouthpiece of the adult industry, but she won the popular vote of porn viewers with her impressive body of work. At twice the age of some of her younger female co-stars, Ann packs twice the sex appeal; she flaunts her tan, toned, and curvaceous body on stage and in sex scenes like a master body artist. The spotlight found her by chance, but Ann's tantric talents have kept a nation of men lusting after her for longer than Palin would have been in office. Four and a half years after her 15 minutes of mainstream fame, Ann is not only the face, and body, of the MILF movement, but the most recognizable working adult star.
Lisa Ann will perform live at Vivid Gentlemen's Club in Mooresville on Fri., Oct. 18 and Sat., Oct. 19. Writer Shawn Alff recently chatted with Ann about her start, overzealous fans, the MILF genre and more.
You started stripping in Pennsylvania at 16-years-old with a fake ID. At that age, what did you spend all your tips on?
Just living. I was on my own at a young age so it was really just survival.
Did you hook up with any Amish guys with huge neck beards?
No. They didn't come into the club.

The Sexologist October is 'Let's Talk' month
Posted By Becky Knight on Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 1:54 PM
It's no secret that I love to talk about sex. However, most parents don't. The dreaded "talk" is feared, delayed too long, or altogether avoided. But talking about sex doesn't have to be stressful. I gave a five-minute presentation - "How to Talk About Sex Without Breaking a Sweat" - at the first ever Ignite Charlotte. Here it is:
Kids want to know what the adults in their lives, especially their parents, think about sex. Yes, really. They need a framework for making sense of the cacophony of voices telling them discordant and often horribly skewed expectations of what sex is and should be. And sex should be understood to include more than just the physical act. Kids need help understanding all of the facets of their sexuality, including (but not limited to): anatomy, physiology, sexual development, body image, gender roles, sexual coercion and manipulation, sexual diversity, flirting, dating, rape, reproduction, setting boundaries, communication, and sexual health.
