Private Practices: The Story of a Sex Surrogate

Have you ever heard about a SEX SURROGATE and wondered what it was?

Fox News recently wrote an article about it, and summed it up with this:

“…some sex therapists turn to surrogate partners – people who help patients with intimacy issues using a hands-on approach. This can include having sex with the patient.”

What? You mean to say that there are doctors who can prescribe sex to their patients, and there’s an actual service those patients can turn to that will have sex with them “for medical reasons”?

It sounds like it’s borderline prostitution, but where there is a medical need, what other choice does one have?

Thank you for Smoking

Smokers do not make better lovers, despite all the assumptions that smoking makes one appear to be sexier.

(do you hear that kids? Let’s say that again — “smokers do not make better lovers”)

We know what you’re thinking. Web Watch, how could you possible know this? Well, we’d like to say that it’s due to our vast knowledge and personal experience… but we’d rather just point you to this REPORT ON SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION and SMOKING.

The Idiots Guide to Recession-proof Careers

Just like everyone else, Web Watch knows lots of people who have been affected by this recession. Some of those have been out of work for over three years now, and their career prospects are not looking up.

It’s not their fault necessarily, it could just be that the career path they chose may not be the best ones to make it through a recession in the long haul. Maybe it’s time to switch careers.

But if you do decide to make a switch, what should you switch to? Well, here’s a list of 10 RECESSION-PROOF JOBS that you may want to consider:

10 Things How To

What to wear to a job interview (and some things not to wear)

Can I Wear My Nose Ring to the Interview?:
A Crash Course in Finding, Landing, and Keeping Your First Real Job

Not everyone knows what to wear to a job interview.

Yeah, the traditional suit should still work, but in today’s wacky world of “business casual” or “jeans Fridays”, the potential job seeker sometimes chooses the wrong outfits to appear at the potential future office with.

The good interviewer will share what the usual “around the office” dress code is, but that doesn’t mean that the applicant should show up in the same type of clothes in order to fit in. You don’t have the job yet, Bucko, so leave the flip-flops at home. Flip-flops don’t belong in the office anyway.

So what should the applicant wear? Well, you can never go wrong with a suit — unless you know ahead of time that the office is a bit more casual, in which case go with some nice slacks and dress shirt (but lose the tie).

Clown Nose

How can you look at a hot girl wearing a clown nose and not smile a little bit on the inside, knowing that if she’s confident enough in herself to be a little silly and goofy, maybe she’ll find you a little interesting too.

How many cloth diapers does one family need?

FuzziBunz® One Size Cloth Diapers
12 Pack Gender Neutral (new) Colors

New parents often have a dilemma to decide, sometimes even before they try to have kids in the first place: are they going to be a “disposable” family or a “cloth” family?

More and more, the trend in eco-friendly parenting is to go with the cloth diapers. Technology has caught up to the absorbent fabrics being used, and they don’t have the stigma that going natural used to have in the past (“unexpected leakage” being the predominant concern).
