Is KY’s Intense… Intense?

KY Brand has been helping couples “get it on” since 1917. And now they’ve got a whole new product out there called KY Intense Arousal Gel For Her.
When asked to try this product, I thought, “Eh why not?” Directions are included with the product. But basically? You or your partner, massage a small amount of the clear gel into a certain, ahem, area during foreplay. The product, which smells to me like peppermint, is supposed increase sensation, resulting in a more intense and pleasurable sexual experience.
According to the company’s testing, 90 …

There’s Something About Tammy

I walk into a quaint bistro in Clayton to sneak in a quick lunch date with my husband. I’ve never been to this place but immediately notice something strange. I can’t put my finger on it at first but then I realize, while there are about 15 people in the establishment, I’m the only female.
This place isn’t exactly a macho man’s lair. And the fare is rather chi-chi. The “manliest” thing on the menu? Lasagna. I am amused at this and puzzled. As more patrons amble in, I notice they too are all men. …

Nature’s Gate product is gateway to soft skin

One of the biggest perks to writing for review blogs is getting lots of cool stuff sent my way. But getting free beauty products to review? Is nirvana.
 A few months ago, the peeps behind Nature’s Gate sent me some “Organic Fruit Blend Body Lotion” in pineapple. For those of you unfamiliar with the brand? Nature’s Gate creates natural, (certified) organic personal care products. Their main goal is to keep your skin healthy by using natural ingredients and connect with communities. How cool is that?
The lotion isn’t too thick or creamy. It has a nice consistency that is …

Some kids have a difficult time understanding social cues. Others don’t quite understand what is appropriate behavior in varied social situations. And still others just have a problem with impulse control. And these difficulties lead to a social awkwardness for the child …

Masters & Johnson’s Marriage and Local Research Are Subject of New Book

It all started when a gynecologist by the name of William H. Masters hired Virgina E. Johnson as a research assistant in 1957. Little did the world realize — in time, the dynamic duo would become the nation’s top sex-perts, marry and co-author books that explained the secrets of orgasm, sexual dysfunction and the emotional fulfillment. Now there’s a book out about the couple who conducted their studies at Washington University in St. Louis and changed the way generations viewed sex during a time when it was taboo to openly …
