Since the summer holiday is coming up, Drs Goodlove and Toughlove thought now might be a good time to pass along a few words of wisdom and advice about a variety of summer…activities. Some of these include: summer hair removal and grooming protocol, outdoor shenanigans, getting a summer fling, getting RID of a summer fling, and the back to school stories you plan to tell in August (DTL: I like to refer to these as lies, damn lies, and even bigger damn lies).
Grooming:
DTL: Summer and hair grooming go hand in hand. Please don’t misunderstand me, I’m not talking about combing the hair on your head, I’m thinking a bit further south. For the guys out there, yes a happy trail is sexy. Finding the national forest at the end of that happy trail? Not so much. Ladies, the same concept applies, particularly since you’ll also be wearing swimsuits. The last thing anyone wants to see is hair sticking out of a bikini. Bottom line? Trim people!
DGL: Trust me – while its fun to look at, don’t like the feel of stubbly scruff on their softer parts. So shave. I know, you’re on break, you want to sleep in, no need for a shower…but be sure you get it in before you go out. Now, as for the manscaping, what can I stay, smooth is stylish. Ladies – you too. Winter’s over- the more skin you show, the more grass you need to cut.
Summer Hook Up:
DGL: flowers are blooming, bees are birding…you’re getting horney. Everyone’s getting horney and lo and behold, there’s a whole fresh stock of potential partners out there. Have fun! Use a condom! Think about the now!
DTL: By all means, if you want to have a summer fling have one! That being said, keep in mind that the word FLING is there for a reason. Keep it light, keep it fun, have great sex, and say goodbye at the end of the summer without regrets. If you get too tied up in it getting out is not always that easy, it can be painful and heartbreaking, especially if the other person doesn’t feel the same way.
Sex on the Beach:
DTL: Summer is also the perfect time to, um, experiment outside, especially during vacations. Take it from me, as fun as this sounds (and it IS fun) there are a few fallbacks to consider. Beach sex is great, just expect sand to get everywhere, eve-ry-where. And did you know there are things called sand fleas that like to bite? Everywhere? Outdoor mountain sex is fun too, just make sure to pick areas with no bugs, deer poop, or skunks. Yes, I said skunks.
DGL: Outdoor sex rules! I mean, its not always the best sex in the world, but its exciting – you might get caught, you might catch a rock in someplace uncomfortable, you never know what’s going to happen when you can’t control the environment. As all the pro-athletes are telling the kids via TV – go play outside! Mind yourself though, it is illegal after all.
Back to the Real World:
DGL: All good things must come to an end and eventually (in 14 short weeks, actually), your Summer of Love will come to an end. Have a heart-rending breakup with your summer fling – something you’ll remember forever. Then come back and tell us all about it. Keep in mind that in order to compete with your friends’ stories you’ll need to embellish. You didn’t get to 2nd base, you scored! She wasn’t a 6 or a 7, she was a 9.
DTL: So next fall when you come back to school and you’re telling everyone about your sex-ploits just remember: leave out the rash you got having sex against the bark of an Aspen tree, the burn marks from the wax job that didn’t turn out so well, and the broken heart you think you have from the hot girl in Wyoming. In other words, lie. Have a great summer!
Sincerely, Dr. Toughlove and Dr. Goodlove
