mynerdgirl asked:
Dear Dr. Ando, I want to get my Academic Nerdgirl a fun V-day gift that will help to get her in the mood for love. I would like to choose something that will help us spend our V-day exploring and enjoying eachothers bodies. Do you have any idea on what I might purchase and how to set the mood? Sincerely, In love with a Nerdgirl

Dear mynerdgirl,
The brain is one of the sexiest organs available and stuffing new, accurate information into it is just... hot. I recommend getting your NerdGirl a copy of A New View of a Woman's Body, by the Federation of Feminist Women's Health Centers. Set a sweet, geeky date with your nerdgirl in a comfortable, private room and go through Chapter 2 Self- Examination with her. It includes an exploration of both the female pelvis and the female breasts. Then move on to Chapter 3 (the Clitoris - A Feminist Perspective). The chapters cover sexual anatomy and response, nerves, ligaments, organs, muscle layers, glands, ducts - all the sexy, yummy bits. All this applies for a date with a lovely nerd by herself, playtime for two, or a puppy pile of friends and lovers.
I'd also like to recommend a scan through Chapter 7 - Birth Control (if applicable for your relationship), before diving in. The rest of the book is awesome and fascinating, though these segments (2, 3, and 7) are more applicable for a date.
Set up before hand:
Water and other beverages
Snacky foods, both sweet and savory
File your nails down - no edges!
Shower and brush your teeth
Music
Mellow lighting
Things to have on hand:
A space heater
Bed/massage table/comfortable surface
Water soluble lubricant or her lube of choice (don't use oil or lotion on any parts where you're going to be using latex at any point - oil dissolves latex and rubber)
Towels
A plastic speculum (purchase one for $5. at http://tinyurl.com/dm3h2r)
Mirror
Gloves, condoms, dental dams, safer sex supplies
Vibrators, massage lotion, sex toys
Open, curious, loving minds
Cheers!
Dr. Ando
