Pop Quiz: how well do you know your Victorian sex terms?

Back in the day, Web Watch took a college course in Human Sexuality.

It was supposed to be one of those “easy A”-type classes, but sometimes when word gets around about the alleged “underwater basketweaving” reputation of a college course — even one seemingly as trivial as Human Sexuality — the Powers That Be decide to makde some dramatic changes by firing the teaching staff and hiring new professors to turn the class into something a bit more… challenging.

So now we were stuck with writing essays about the Human Condition, and discussing “feelings”.

It ended up being a much more difficult course than those who took previous semesters had experienced.

Damn them.

10 Things How To

How many dates should you have before saying, “I Love You”?

Web Watch knows one couple who decided to get married after just one month of dating — and they’ve been happily married ever since.

There’s another couple we know that have been together for about a year… yet they haven’t yet appeared at an event together as a couple. Friends are still asking when they’ll get to meet the other half – or if they ever will.

When it comes to dating, some people have specific rules: no kissing until the third date, for example. Or no sex until at least after meeting the parents (because meeting the parents represents a significant step forward in ones’ relationship).

One reason why men go into debt? Blame women.

Bachelors, have you ever wondered why you’re going deeper and deeper into debt while your married friends seem to always be buying the latest cars, houses, or electronics?

It’s not because of the “Marriage Tax” or the deductions that their brood of kids gives them.

No, it’s because those married men aren’t wasting their financial resources on dating. Sure, there are other monetary obligations that arise from a serious relationship, but overall you can expect that you’ll spend less money when you’re devoted to a single woman than you will when you’re hounddogging around town after every piece of tail that’s out there.

10 Things Book Funny

That book you’re reading says you’re a total douche

One of the better job interview questions you can ask to get to know the candidate a little better is “what was the last book you’ve read?”

Chances are, especially if the job candidate is a bit younger than average, they’ll be hard-pressed to come up with an answer as they’ve typically spent most of their waking hours online or texting their friends.

It tends to catch people off-guard as they struggle to remember any book that wasn’t required for class that they happened to read just for fun.

We’ve all gone through the dating thing, right?

And while you’re dating that special someone – whether it be for just a few weeks, a few months, or a year or two – you’ve probably found yourself wanting to buy them a gift of some sort.

Maybe it’s a traditional gift-giving holiday, like Christmas. Or it’s a birthday. You’re celebrating an anniversary of the first time you met or some other special moment. A job promotion, new house, new puppy.

It doesn’t matter what the reason is — the point is, it was time to select a present for your Significant Other.

Which brings up the question: WHAT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE GIFT YOU’VE EVER GIVEN YOUR DATE , or conversely – WHAT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE GIFT YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED WHILE DATING SOMEONE?

Science

Which would you choose in a mate: Personality or Sex?

Does anyone remember that FOX TV reality show MR PERSONALITY?

On this dating show, the male contestants all wore masks to hide their facial features from their potential love interest. The concept was that for any pure relationship to work, one’s personality should take priority over one’s looks.

Obviously, with the subsequent success of shows without masks like THE BACHELOR, the American TV audience is more interested in the visuals and sex appeal of their reality TV contestants rather than the more sincere personality-driven programming.

If you’re part of the Baby Boomer generation, you’re probably living alone

The Baby Boomer generation is getting older, that’s a fact. And it’s not just because Baby Boomers represent those aged 45-63.

It could be because they may not be doing the one thing that helps alleviate the onset of premature old-age: finding a partner to spend the rest of their lives with.

Red Flag Alert! How to tell when you’re dating a loser

Post date April 3, 2012

Web Watch has spent enough time out at bars and restaurants to recognize when a date seen across the room is heading in the wrong direction.

It could be a subtle sign, like a couple sitting at the table not talking to each other or engrossed in their cellphones instead of each other — or it could be something a bit more blatant, such as a heated discussion that slowly escalates to the point where the whole room is involved in some manner.

Heck, even when if comes to married life, we know plenty of couples who should have seen the writing on the wall well before the divorce papers were a conversation topic… if only they had asked us for our honest opinion of where we thought their relationship was heading.
