Yesterday marked the start of the new school year - my 16th year full-time on the college lecture circuit. And it marked my first lecture in Alabama! Sex toys remain illegal there, and good food is hard to find (my styrofoam-boxed dinner had an odd combination of turkey with stuffing and Chinese fried rice, along with an unidentifiable vegetable which might have been square lima beans?), but the fine folks at UAB assembled a great crowd that enjoyed the show.

Check out this fun little article from the Birmingham Weekly that ran before the event.

Wow... this is my first time doing it. I'm excited, nervous, anxious. I'm not exactly sure what to do or say. Instead, I'm wondering: Do you like me? My style? My technique? Can I satisfy you? (Is this satisfying me?) Will you still like me tomorrow?

I gotta admit that I'm feeling performance anxiety, wondering what your expectations are of me, and feeling the need to be perfect the first time - and every time. How can I make this stimulating so that you'll want to come back for more?

I make no promises. I don't know how much or how often I'll do it, or how long I'll last. When I have the energy and desire, it might be daily, or even twice in a day! But, if I'm tired or busy, I might not be out to play, perhaps leaving you wanting more.

Sometimes it will be a quickie, while at other times it may be a rambling, marathon session that starts slowly before eventually climaxing. Sometimes I might just finish too early. Hey, I'm just a normal guy.

And sometimes it might be a bit sloppy and messy. Isn't that part of the fun of it?
