The Best Kind of Stuffing

Thanksgiving break is the perfect time to expand your hook up pool. And, with Thanksgiving break just hours away, here are a few quick tips for rekindling those high school flames:
1. Set yourself up for success
2. Respect new relationships
3. Avoid day time dates
4. Be mature
5. Don't have unrealistic expectations
It is important to remember, though,that while some old crushes may return hotter than ever, others may have let themselves go. That being said, Thanksgiving is also an opportunity to remind failed flames that you were a great catch. Stay confident, look sexy, and do it for the story.

SEX TOY WARNING!!!

Interestingly in one of my classes today we had a speaker from NPR come in and talk about her work. The biggest story that she shared with us one that she did about the safety of sex toys. The story goes something kind of like this:

A woman was really excited to open a sex toy shop but when she got her first shipment of dildos in, they open the box to see that the packages had a type of greasy/oil stain on them, which was also on the foam packing peanuts and also on the shipping box. What is this she wondered? Looking into this more she found out that it is a “thalloid” type substance, which is from the cheap manufacturing of a soft PVC material which was used in the manufacturing of these cheap sex toys.

Doing some more research into this area, it was found that sex toys are not regulated by any government; ours, or the Chinese government where most of them are manufactured. This can be dangerous, because this thalloid substance contains known carcinogens that can be dangerous to your health and cause birth defects.

Since sex is still a pretty taboo subject to talk about (to some people, not us of course!) I don’t see any government regulating sex toys soon. This also creates a lot of health complications because people will develop rashes or problems from using these cheap sex toys and go to their doctor who will wrongfully diagnose them as an STD, which will not cure these problems.

We love sex toys here on Turned On and don’t want you to stop using them, but just make sure you check the products first, and spend that extra money to get a quality one, because these problems mainly plague cheaper ones that use chemicals to soften the plastic, and mostly in “jelly” type toys (super squishy ones).

Word of the Week

Remember when “talking” became the hott word in the hookup and dating community? Teens and young adults alike began using the term in an attempt to define relationships that were more than just sexually based (i.e. friends with benefits) but less than an exclusive and committed relationship. Couples that were “talking” were essentially on their way to relationship status.
Well, yet again it seems that a new word has infiltrated the dating scene. “To slam,” used as a verb, is now being used in place of “to hook up.” For example, one might say, “It’s been so long since I’ve slammed sober.” “I’m not going home tonight until I slam.”
We don’t want to leave you guys out of the loop. Stay on top of your game and slam safely.

International Relations

How good are you in bed??

Well, according to a poll conducted across the world, where you are from has a lot to do with it. The countries with the best men are:

1. Spain
2. Brazil
3. Italy
4. France
5. Ireland
6. South Africa
7. Australia
8. New Zealand
9. Denmark
10. Canada

Americans did not fare to well in the poll however. They came in as the 5th worst for being too rough with the ladies. However, nothing can be as bad as number 1, the Germans who rated as “too smelly.” Two and three could probably take some tips from each other with number 2 being the English who are too lazy and number 3 being the Swedish who are too quick. Our big friends in Holland are too dominating, and all the romantics in Greece are too lovey-dovey. There were people from Wales who were just too large… I’m kidding, but they were number 7 with the men being too selfish. The rowdy Scots to our left were rated as too loud, well the Turks were number 9 with being too sweaty. Finally, the number 10 worst lovers were the Russians who apparently have bad cases of HOB (Hair on back).

So next time you think you are good in bed, check what our friends across the pond are doing and make sure that you don’t improvement in these areas as well!
