Video Video: TEDx talk on the importance of orgasmic meditation
Posted By Shawn Alff on Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 11:45 AM
An orgasm a day keeps the mental health doctors away, or so it would seem from Nicole Daedone's theory on Orgasmic Meditation. In the below TEDx talk we recently discovered, Daedone discusses how she discovered Orgasmic Meditation and why she thinks the practice is as beneficial to a person's well-being as any other form of meditation or exercise. In its most basic form, Orgasmic Meditation involves a partner stroking the upper left quadrant of the woman's clitoris lightly for around 15 minutes. In essence, the practice focuses on the importance of connecting through orgasm.
Nicole Daedone is the founder of the OneTaste Movement and the author of Slow Sex: The Art and Craft of the Female Orgasm. Discover more about Daedone at NicoleDaedone.com.

The Sexologist Sex and pregnancy
Posted By Becky Knight on Fri, Nov 1, 2013 at 2:44 PM
It is my good fortune to call Lugenia Grider a colleague and a friend. We have taught several classes together, and I value her expertise as a doula, lamaze instructor, lactation peer counselor and women's health educator. She has a heart for helping women navigate a beautiful, but scary, season of life: pregnancy and new motherhood. More than anyone I know, Lugenia answers the questions and concerns of anxious parents-to-be, which is why I asked to her help me answer my own Q&A.

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.

The Sexologist How to talk about sex
Posted By Becky Knight on Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 11:15 AM
It seems that everyone is talking about sex except the people who are actually having sex. It's perplexing because if we are comfortable getting naked with someone, why is it so uncomfortable talking about what we want (and don't) from the experience?
Frankly, we just don't have a lot of experience. One of the best tools that sex ed could provide would be to help young people learn how to express their sexuality in healthy ways, including by verbalizing their desires, boundaries, and how to negotiate when a partner has differing ideas. We have also been sold simplistic generalizations about what "all" men want and what "all" women need. It's easier to make assumptions or avoid hurting someone's feelings by just not talking about it.

The Sexologist Massage therapist in Charlotte offers happy endings...to women
Posted By Becky Knight on Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 4:42 PM
Massages are my favorite indulgence. When I moved to a new area of Charlotte last year, one of the first things I did was search out a new massage therapist. I have always preferred male therapists because I need a really deep touch. And it doesn't hurt if he's easy on the eyes.
When I mentioned my preferences to a co-worker, she suggested I try out the nearby strip mall massage joint, and she provided me with the name of the therapist she liked. When I arrived at the spa a few days later, I met him and did a little "thank you!" in my head to my friend. She had made a great recommendation.

Good news, South Carolina. You finally beat us at something! On average, you all watch porn for 11 minutes and 17 seconds, 9 seconds longer than North Carolinians.
But wait, I come bearing more good news! MILFs, today is your lucky day (when is it not?). North Carolinians search yours more than any other term - including, but not limited to, bi, teen, straight, gay, teacher, secretary, bi-racial, mature, lesbian, blowjob, bukkake, college, fetish, hardcore, red head, shemale, threesome, uniform, vintage, babe and ass - on PornHub.com.

Heels Over Head The When Harry Met Sally question
Posted By S.H. Lohmann on Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 10:00 AM
As more and more of the Forty Days of Dating (comically nicknamed "40DD") project is revealed, I find myself becoming a little bored by most of the daily entries. They are exactly like being with a friend and analyzing the minutiae of her new relationship - tedious and inconclusive. I have, however, become increasingly fascinated with the comments, particularly the ones raising the When Harry Met Sally question.

The Sexologist Just for men: Bedroom products for him
Posted By Becky Knight on Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 2:12 PM
Oral sex is ubiquitous in American bedrooms. A 2011 report from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention found that, among adults ages 25-44, 89 percent of women and 90 percent of men had engaged in oral sex with an opposite-sex partner. It's happening, but often without the frequency and fervor that the partner wants. Why? When it comes to fellatio (oral stimulation of a man's penis), women say that the taste can be a major turn-off. If the taste of fellatio and the resulting climax is an issue, Masque Sexual Flavors are worth a try.
