When you think about swingers and sex clubs, you think L.A. or New York.

But look in your own back yard if you want to find a sexy experience.

First, check out Adult Carolina. This is your gateway to swingers and clubs around the Carolinas.

If you're looking to get involved in the swingers lifestyle, here are a few things you should know:

An open mind is a must.

Actualswingers.com offers these tips:

Enter swinging as a couple – in the context of swinging you should enter as a couple. By being couples it does not mean that you need to be married, but should very least have a little history together.

Be familiar with each others’ emotional needs and wants - this is an extremely important rule when it comes to feeling comfortable about other couples approaching you in a swinger lifestyle.

Confidence and comfort first – you and your partner must have confidence in each other when being approached by others. If this is not reached, jealousy will occur (see dealing with jealousy). You should be aware of each other comfort when swinging with other couples. If you or your partner is uncomfortable with a situation or activity, it should be ceded immediately.

I've heard that swinging can save marriages that have lost their spark.

Individuals can also explore and learn lots more about their sexual interests. Swinging can enhance a relationship and the commitment involved in the couple’s relationship.

So if you want to try it and see what goes on underneath a banker's boxers, hook up with a one of the many swingers clubs in the area.

If you can shake it fast, on May 21st you could win $1,000.

Club Onyx is hosting "The Official Booty Shaking Contest." I wonder what the unofficial booty shaking contest would look like, but I digress.

Strip clubs across our area are hosting a lot of contests to stimulate (the economy) and titillate (the

customer).

Crazy Horse in Hickory hosts a winner take all Topless Pool tournament on Saturdays.

The Crazy Horse on Independence hosts a Karaoke contest with a cash prize on Wednesdays.

On Sunday night, Uptown Cabaret hosts a bikini contest with a cash prize of $500.

So, if you're low on cash and don't mind taking it off, head to one of the local gentleman's clubs and enter a contest. You may win or get offered a job.

This is not a suggestion for your own mother. But I'm sure plenty of people are dating a single mother.

Why not let her know she's still holding by giving her something sexy on Sunday. This works especially well if your Valentine's Day gift was messed up. And make sure you don't give her the sexy thong in front of little Johnny. He doesn't need to know that you and his mommy will be "wrestling" Sunday night.

Forget sappy cards, flowers that will die by Wednesday. Let her know that she's a MILF.

Don't have a MILF in your life? Rent one--on video, that is.

Industry insiders say MILF porn is growing in popularity. Here's a reason why:

To director Axel Braun (Cookies & MILF 2 and Hustler's best-selling MILF Trainer series), the MILF moment reflects mainstream Hollywood, where many actresses of a certain age are playing seductresses—on camera and off. "Start with Demi Moore. She's hotter than she looked at 25. Sex and the City—the girls are not young, but they make 40 look hot and glamorous," Braun observes, adding that "teenagers dressed as sluts" hit oversaturation right around the time of the Paris Hilton sex tape. "There's just not much fantasy there. Instead, we're playing into the idea that a more mature woman knows what to do in bed." Having just wrapped This Ain't Happy Days XXX, Braun adds, "Mrs. C., played by Raquel Devine, is the ultimate MILF. And in our film, she finally gets nailed by The Fonz."

It's no secret that this blog doesn't mind talking about anal sex. Yes, anal sex gets a bad rap about being dangerous, increases the risk of HIV and AIDS.

But to some people it feels so damned good. If you've never done it, but you're curious, here are some rules from Sexuality.org that will make your experience sizzle.

Pay attention to rule number five:

5. Anal stimulation provides many kinds of pleasure

The highest concentration of nerve endings is around the anal opening itself. A finger can focus on them especailly effectively. When an object or penis is inserted beyond the anal opening into the rectum, other pleasures are involved. The outer protion of the rectum, like the vagina, has several nerve endings. The inner portion responds mostly to pressure.

Some people enjoy the feelings of pressure and fullness once they understand that these sensations do not presage an impending bowel movement. Rectal pressure is especially important to enthusiasts of "fisting," a form of anal sex in which several fingers or een the entire hand and forearm are inserted into the rectum and sometimes into the lower colon.

In men, the protate - which is just beyond the rectal wall, a few inches in, towards the front of the body - can be a source of pleasure when massaged by a finger, an object, or a penis. Also, the lower end of the penis, or "bulb," is near the anal opening opening. It is stimulated indirectly by most types of anal sex.

Anal pleasure can be psychological as well as physical. The anal taboo adds to the thrill of the forbidden. The most common anti-anal message (it's dirty!) sometimes returns as a source of raunchy, sleazy excitement. Rimming enthusiasts may enjoy the feeling that they are being disgustingly - and delightfully - perverse. Other people regard the anus as a secret, special place. Sharing it with a partner is an act of openness and giving.

Some women, possibly men too, can have an anal orgasm. According to one guy, when his woman had her first anal orgasm with him, it looked like a vanilla ice cream cone after it had been licked down.

"The first time I saw that, I looked down and said damn," he said.

Damn, indeed.

Ever heard the classic song Afternoon Delight?

Well, if you're planning for a little afternoon delight on your lunch break, please carry spare underpants.

Let's say the person writing this entry decided the she wanted to skip eating lunch one day because boy toy was off from work. He had been sending racy text messages all day. And they did the trick. Unfortunately, I didn't have a back up set of panties and after the ones I had on got all wet, I was uncomfortable pulling them back up and returning to the office.

Things would've been better if we'd actually made it out of the car, but when nature calls, you answer.

What was supposed to be a quickie extended for about 30 minutes past my lunch hour. Any other night or Saturday afternoon, that would've been awesome. Now, I didn't have time to run to Wal-Mart or the drug store and buy a pair of cheap panties.

I learned my lesson. Now, there is always a spare pair of panties close by.
