You might think, “Hm. Maybe I will leave this wildly inappropriate video or photo tagged of me on Facebook because I want this super hot guy or girl to see it and be all, ‘damnnn that’s hot’” but what you might not realize is that you don’t really know who is looking at your profile. Yeah, maybe that super hot guy or girl is the one creeping on your book. More likely, however unfortunate it is, that one person will not be checking your profile as often as your other 2,000 friends, most of whom you probably don’t want seeing your tagged sexy/drunken/slutty videos, photos, or wall posts.
Facebook is a great place for you to showcase yourself because, let’s be honest, what is one of the first things you do when you hear about a potential new hook-up or date? You look them up on Facebook, duh. You want to see who your mutual friends are, what they look like, what they are interested in, and anything else you can possibly discover about them from their profile page. Basically, Facebook is the new little black book for college students looking to hook-up and use all the cool stuff they learn from ‘Turned On’, which is just great! But do not forget that while it is an awesome site to show what you have to offer to your next potential hook-up, it can also be seen by people that you were not intending to see it. So go through your ‘friends’ list, look at the videos and photos you are tagged in, check your privacy settings, and see who is really stalking you on Facebook.
And then, take a break from Facebook, go out, actually meet some people in real life, and get it on!

Sex Toys: Business or Leisure?
In the state of Alabama, it is illegal to purchase sex toys unless it is for “a bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial or law enforcement purpose,” according to Alabama state law. One lone store stood up against this potentially unconstitutional law (the Supreme Court never tried it) and, sadly, failed against the might of the Alabama court system. But, now, Pleasures is back and pushing the law again, while still remaining within its terms. “Pleasures, a ‘one-stop romance shop’ that challenged Alabama's ban on sex toys, has a new, unique claim to fame: It will feature three sex toy drive-thru lanes at its new University Drive location” in Huntsville, Alabama.
Who would have thunk it?! A single store in sweet home Alabama is at the fore-front of the adult toy store industry. “Pleasures owner Sherri Williams said the store will be the first such store in the country to sell adult toys through a drive-thru window. Items such as toys, lubes and stimulants will be delivered through the drive-thru drawer in a brown paper bag.”
Whether you are purchasing items from an adult toy store for leisurely purposes or for reasons that fall under Alabama’s law, let us all hope that although Pleasures is the first of its kind to open up a drive-thru window option, it won’t be the last!

Sex in the USA
Recently, new research has come out, “in what the researchers say, is the largest, most comprehensive national survey of Americans' sexual behavior since 1994.” It offers “detailed findings on how often Americans have sex, with whom, and how they respond. In all, 5,865 people, ranging in age from 14 to 94, participated in the survey.”
So now you’re thinking, “wow, people actually study this stuff?! Hot damn, I’m out here LIVING it! Who cares what a bunch of researches find, this is my LIFE and I’m livin’ the dream!” If you are a boy with that response, here is a statistic that I hope knocks you off your smug, high horse: “85 percent of the men said their latest sexual partner had an orgasm, while only 64 percent of the women reported having an orgasm in their most recent sexual event. One-third of women experienced genital pain during their most recent sex, compared to 5 percent of men.” Well now you know, anonymous-frat-bro, you’re not as amazing in bed as you might think – despite the number of people you hook-up with! And girls, keep this in mind if you are just looking for someone to hook-up with casually, just because somebody hooks-up with a lot of people DOES NOT guarantee that they will show you an O so sweet time (if you know what I mean)!
This article features several other fascinating statistics about sex in the United States, check it out: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39490326/from/RSS/

When Texting Met Sexting
According to new research, it appears as though there is a correlation between how many texts a teenager sends in a day and how sexually promiscuous and drug-abusing they are. Some believe, as one sophomore girl from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor said, “People who text more probably have a more active social life then those who do not. Therefore the ‘hyper-texters’ probably engage in more sexual and illicit activities because they have more people to do it with.”
However, the new research isn’t “suggesting that "hyper-texting" leads to sex, drinking or drugs, but say it's starting to see an apparent link between excessive messaging and that kind of risky behavior…It found that about one in five students were hyper-texters and about one in nine are hyper-networkers - those who spend three or more hours a day on Facebook and other social networking websites. About one in 25 falls into both categories.”
So maybe our anonymous sophomore girl is correct or maybe being more textually active does indeed lead to being more sexually active. Regardless, the real question is, what does that say about all of the girls in Greek Life who BBM and text as if they were getting paid by the second? Let’s just say it gives a whole new meaning to “pin me.”

Taxicab Confessions: Ann Arbor
For some reason, people often think that when you are checking out at a store, riding in the back of a taxi cab, or eating a meal at a restaurant, the people working at the register, driving, or serving your food are not just like you and me. Well listen up folks, they are; and THEY CAN HEAR AND SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
Here is an actual account from an Ann Arbor taxi cab driver from this past weekend:
“Most people that ride in taxi cabs can at least wait ‘till they get back to the pad but some choose otherwise!!! It's a little uncomfortable to be driving along the crazy streets of Ann Arbor and have someone doing the funky monkey in the backseat. For instance, I had a group the other night that at first seemed to be the usual cab-ride-home-from-the-bar, but then, all of the sudden, they start making-out! And then the guy tells me take it around the block a few times, LOL!!! At the time of the ladies stop, she got out (not seeming to be bothered at all by what she had just done in my backseat) and then the guy comments, in an attempt to play off his pimpness, ‘I have to call my girlfriend.’ So basically my cab was used as the Motel 6 of their “business”. I don’t know if doing it in a cab is some people’s idea of romantic, but this cab driver can do without the added distractions while driving...”
Well there you have it, ‘Turned On’ blog readers, be a little more conscious of where you are choosing to hook-up. You might not be as alone as you feel!
P.S. if you’re reading this blog and happen to realize this was YOU featured in this story or it was someone you know…sorry. That’s really embarrassing.

Be Careful Out There!
A USA Today article recently cited a study that was done that says teens that have had sex with both men and women are at higher risk of dating violence and even risky sexual behavior!
This study stated that teenagers who have had sexual partners that were both male and female were significantly less likely to use a condom or other forms of sexual protection.
Now, we here at Turned On are all about getting your freak on, whomever it may be with. But lets take a step forward and make good decisions for ourselves. As college students, we can take the initiative to make this statistic no more! No matter if you are in a same sex relationship, protection and healthy relationships are ALWAYS sexy! If you're here at the University of Michigan, you can head over to UHS (University Health Service) or even talk to a SAPAC representative if you have any questions about how to make your relationship more safe AND sexy!
Lets work together to make this statistic disappear!

I hope you're hungry because...
Sometimes, it is the right time to spice it up in the bedroom. Even if your relationship, casual hook-up fling, or random one-night-stand doesn’t feel as though it is lacking in the bedroom, it is always exciting to add something fun for both (or however many) partners to enjoy.
Now, that doesn’t mean that you need to have a freaky bag of goodies hidden under your bed, ready to be taken out at any given second (unless that’s what you’re into, in which case, that is totally fine). But what about some edible undies? Some lotion or lube that actually tastes delicious? There are a surprisingly wide variety of edible options for the bedroom out there that can add some zest to your love life without pushing you or your partner’s sexual boundaries.
So don’t be shy, slip on a pair of your finest edible panties (with matching bra), rub on some tasty lotion, use the flavorful lube, light a kissable candle, and maybe even put some sprinkles on top because after a dinner and movie, anyone and everyone is ready for some dessert.

How Did You Do THAT?!
When you're getting dressed for a black tie event and you realize that you don't know how to tie a tie, what do you do? You look it up on 'Youtube,' right? Of course. And when everyone was doing the Soulja Boi dance and you didn't know the steps, what did you do? YOU LOOKED IT UP ON 'YOUTUBE!'
So if you're interested in learning how to find the G-Spot, give a mind-blowing blow job, do the dougie (and teach your other friends how to dougie), enjoy an orgasm, or just learn how to kiss, try looking it up on 'Youtube.' It may not have the clinical answer or exactly what you're looking for but you might be surprised at what a helpful resource it can be. I mean, other people did put it on the internet for a reason.
You can't be ready for that black tie event when you don't even know how to tie a tie.

Just Turn Her On
Finally, we can simply press a button when we want sex. This year, Foxy Roxxxy was released at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas becoming the world’s first sex bot. She’s smart, she’s flexible, and she can be all yours at the low price of $9,000. What makes her better than your $50 blow-up doll? Besides the fact that her skin feels like actual human flesh, she can talk to you. WHAT?!? Douglas Hines, the New Jersey inventor, figured what is sex without that initial spark. He equipped her with artificial intelligence, so she can talk, she can move, and she can get extra freaky in the bedroom (her special spine allows her to move upright, and also bend into impossible positions). In addition, she can connect to the Internet, so she can keep updated on all your interests. Moreover, Foxy Roxxxy comes with five personalities, so if you want the adventurous type just flip her to Wild Wendy, but if you desire a quiet and shy sex partner, then turn her on to Frigid Farrah.
While this sex bot intrigues us here at Turned On, the introduction of new electronics into the bedroom poses some problems:
1. Is it cheating if you have sex with a robot?
Should we simply think of Foxy Roxxxy as a dildo with personality? If you are in a relationship, you should talk to your partner before you purchase Foxy Roxxxy. If she feels competition from your sex bot, the choice is yours. However, we suggest keeping the human girlfriend, because bringing a sex bot to a party could create awkward situations for you and your friends. But hey, maybe you’re more of a lone wolf anyways!
2. Can she malfunction and cause some sort of machine uprising?
Hopefully not, but if you feel that she becomes too controlling, turn her to Frigid Farrah immediately.
3. Is Foxy Roxxxy a good holiday present?
For your girlfriend….No! But a male sex bot is in development. For your very lonely guy friend…. Perhaps, depends on the kind of relationship you have.
4. If she falls asleep during sex, should I assume that her batteries ran out, or am I just that bad in bed?
Foxy Roxxxy loves you! She recognizes you, she shares your interests, so there is nothing you can do that will not please her. It is the ultimate ego-boost in the bedroom.
5. What if I don’t find Roxxxy attractive?
Gentleman, she is customizable. Although her height will always be 5’7 and her weight 120 pounds. You choose her race, hair color, eye color, and don’t forget cup size.
Hopefully, you can find an awesome human girlfriend that can offer more than Roxy. If not and you have $9,000 at hand; don’t be afraid to give Foxy Roxxxy a call.

BEWARE! Sex Conditions That Can Ruin Your Life
1. Hypersexuality: This condition also known as nymphomania is characterized by an overactive libido.
Why it's a life ruiner: Ever heard the saying less is more? Though I know a few frat boys who would disagree, sex is no exception to this popular cliche. For those individuals living with hypersexuality, nothing is out of the question when it comes to filling that sexual void. Keep an eye on your partner. Hypersexuality often leads to infidelity.
2. Priapism: A condition in which the erect penis or clitoris does not return to its flaccid state. Why it's a life ruiner: Constant blood flow to your genitals can lead to blood clots, gangrene, and sever pain.
3. Sexsomnia: This condition also known as sleep sex occurs when individuals unknowingly engage in sexual activity in their sleep. Why it's a life ruiner: With this condition, you will not remember your sexual encounters. In addition, you have no control over your sexual partner, which can lead to a variety of other health related issues.
Consult a medical professional if you or someone you know has a similar condition!
