I’m at home tonight working on my next Google Tech Talk and it’s so crazy sex nerdy fun and full of research that I’m just sitting here alone, wishing…. I hereby make a wish for a financial benefactor so all I have to do is write my Chron column, give Google Tech Talks on sex, and blog (usage: verb) in my extra time. (Just rent on my apartment and a functional laptop! I can freelance the cat food and lube and absinthe bills!)

You see, on Valentine’s Day next week, I’m giving another Google Tech talk, my second — it’s an hour-long “abstinence-only” lesson, with benefits. It’s for their own good, of course. I’m the teacher, they’re the (unknowing) students, and I have props and visuals, and data and research and OMG *actual* handouts. You won’t believe the stuff I’m discovering in my research… I am SO excited for this one. I’ve been asked to talk there monthly, but since all this is in my “spare” time I’ve agreed to bi-monthly (insert bi joke here).

But I wish this was all I did. It’s bringing me so much joy to bring together so many facets of my sex ed experience and knowledge (and snarkiness) in such a relevant, fun, informative and direct channel; more joy than I’ve felt about my work in a long time. And it’s going to *rock* the staff. Of course, I’m signing permission to have the video posted online afterward, and I’ll let you know the minute that goes on YouTube.

So I’m going to pause from my research now, and go find the antique brass dildo I bought at the Bayview flea market for $1 and polish it until a genie appears…
