Anna Kendrick recommends drinking on a first date 'if sex is off the table

Actress Anna Kendrick stars in the upcoming comedy "Drinking Buddies," so GQ asked her some questions about drinking in its current issue.
Makes sense.
On what potential drinking side effect not to bring up on a first date...
Two subjects to never bring up on a first date are anything to do with the actual reality of your family, and, you know, liver cancer and how we’ve probably all got it.
On whether or not a guy should pay for the drinks on the first date...
Paying on a first date is a tricky thing because even though it’s meaningless, if a guy doesn’t, or doesn’t offer, it suggests poor judgment more than anything else.
On the potential benefits of drinking...
If sex is off the table, and you’re like “Let’s try to get to know each other,” I would recommend drinking. Highly.
And, on an unrelated note, on being asked for autographs whilst underwear shopping...
There’s something deeply embarrassing about being approached when you’re holding knickers. And it’s happened TWICE!

No-strings sex app launches for heterosexuals who can't be bothered with online flirting

Young people looking for no-strings-attached sex who don't want to go through the rigmarole of chit-chat online are looking forward to the launch of a new app next week.
Pure, which has been described as 'bringing Seamless to the bedroom', offers sex on-demand by simply asking users their gender and the gender of their preference, whether they can host and then shows them potential partners who answer 'Okay' or 'No Way'.
Pending approval by Apple's App Store, Pure's intentionally soul-less and potentially dangerous approach to hook-ups has no profiles, no chat sessions before-hand and deletes unfulfilled requests after an hour.


No-Frill Thrills: Pure removes the need for chatting online and sets up couples for sex in their area immediately 
Markedly different from more traditional internet dating sites such as Match.Com and OkCupid, Pure is also a departure from newer apps for anonymous sex hook-ups such as Tinder and Bang With Friends.
All these apps and sites require some kind of profile and online conversation to get to know the potential date better.

Breakthrough: In January of last year, Roman Sidorenko and Alexander Kukhtenko (pictured) had an idea to break their sexual dry spells - to create 'Pure' as an app for no-thrills-not-strings attached sex
However, Pure, created by Roman Sidorenko and Alexander Kukhtenko removes all of that and simply provides two people who want to have sex based on their image online the ability to arrange a meet-up.
'People are becoming comfortable with a format of online dating that once sounded scary,' said Dan Slater, author of Love in the Time of Algorithms. 
'If these new location-based, on-the-fly apps are largely for hooking up ... perhaps more people out there are looking for quick sex than had been originally thought.'
Of course, online apps to arrange no-strings-attached sex are nothing new.

Grindr has become a staple of the gay community since its launch in 2009 and became so successful that it directly influenced Tinder and Bang With Friends for heterosexual people.
Indeed, Tinder is currently at the center of take-over rumors in Silicon Valley and Pure managed to raise $200,000 in investment funds for its launch.
'We wanted an easy way to find sex, basically,' said Sidorenko to New York Magazine.
'It’s very interesting to see what Fifty Shades of Gray did for the pleasure-products industry,' said Sidorenko. 


To much Chat? Tinder was inspired by the success of Grindr - an app that allowed the gay community to meet up for sex after finding each other online 
'When that book became a monster hit, it became okay to talk about BDSM stuff. It became okay to buy sex toys. This is the way the dating industry will be changed.'
Appealing to all genders and orientations, the appeal of Pure will be to cut down the basics of sex to the essential ingredients, such as gender, age, appearance, location and availability.
 
A key component of Pure will be removing the hurt of rejection by showing its users only the matches who have clicked 'Okay'.
However, the art of seduction does not seem to have died a complete death.
Traditional online dating site Match.com raked in profits of $205 million last year - showing that people don't necessarily want to skip the 'getting to know you' part of a sexual relationship.


Bang with Friends has been equally successful - however, it too focuses on chatting online rather than simply meeting for sex
'These apps are tapping into this perception that people are looking for casual sex, but most people are using these apps as a gateway to something longer term,' says Lauren Kay, the founder of the Dating Ring, a start-up that pairs algorithmic date-finding with old-fashioned in-person matchmaking. 
While Pure is focusing its efforts initially on the gay market, it hopes to eventually open up the bi, straight and polyamorous markets very soon afterwards.
They will church $9.99 for a day pass - allowing users unlimited requests for 24 hours.
Eventually, Pure want to tap into the female demographic and are planning a series of marketing events in New York bars in the coming weeks.
However, Harry Reis, professor of clinical psychology at the University of Rochester says that the online dating market is presumptuous about no-strings-attached sex.
'Just because a person isn't interested in monogamy doesn't mean they're interested in having sex with anyone and anything,' he said to the New York Magazine.

The more sex you have, the more money you make

If it sometimes appears that some people are just lucky — have lots of sex, and a well-paying job, too — you might be on to something, according to a new study from theInstitute for the Study of Labor at the University of Bonn.
Previous research has found that happiness — no surprise — tends to increase with the frequency of sexual activity. There’s been little study of how the libido relates to wages, though. This new data comes exclusively from the Greek population in 2008, so take that for what you will. But assuming the Hellenes are at all reflective of humanity writ large, results suggest that wages and sexual activity rise together.
The researchers controlled for urban and rural residence, various personality traits, gender, education and belief in God (which tends to be negatively correlated with sexual activity). They found that, for Greeks between the ages of 26 and 50, one standard deviation of increase in sexual activity corresponded with a 5.4 percent increase in wages. Married men having no sex receive lower wages by 1.3 percent, and there’s no difference in the wage returns for sex for gay and straight people.
Now, that doesn’t mean that having more sex will automatically make you earn more. The authors write that high levels of sexual activity are likely an indicator of good health, which also tends to correlate with higher earnings.  It’s also possible that causality runs the other way: Earning more makes you more sexually attractive. Either way, a Marginal Revolution commenter summed up the situation well: “It has always been apparent that sex is good: Now we have statistical confirmation! That’s great.”

Sex charges against teacher stun students, parents

Students and parents at Corona's Centennial High School reacted with surprise and disbelief after prosecutors charged a female special education teacher with having sex with five teenage boys over the last year.
Summer Michelle Hansen, 31, was charged Tuesday with 16 felony counts involving sex acts with five teenagers younger than 18, none of whom were students in her life skills class.
“I really hope it’s not true, because that would be really sad,” Marrisa Byers, a student at the high school, told KTLA-TV. “Especially since it’s a special ed teacher, that hits a little bit harder.”
Riverside County prosecutors allege that from May 2012 to May 2013, Hansen committed sexual acts with the teenagers — who were as young as 16 — in her classroom, in a campus utility room, in her vehicle parked near a teenager's home and at the home of another teenager.
Hansen, who has taught at Centennial for nearly five years, was arrested in June after Corona police conducted an initial investigation. Detectives allege that the teacher rewarded one of the boys with sex for winning a baseball game.
She has been on administrative leave.
“I’ve seen her around and heard she was a really nice lady. And just to hear something like that is almost heartbreaking,” student Austin Farris told KTLA.
Parents and friends, though, have rallied around Hansen and questioned the accusers' motives. Some have even claimed Hansen’s Facebook page was hacked to make it appear that she “liked” the movie “Bad Teacher.”
Prosecutors could seek up to 13 years in prison for Hansen if she is convicted of all the charges. Hansen's attorney, David Cohn, denied that Hansen broke any laws.
Hansen was scheduled to be arraigned on the charges Thursday.
Meanwhile, Shanda Barnett told KCAL-TV she intends to use the Hansen allegation to talk to her 15-year-old son, who attends the school, about the issue.
“I really think that this is too close to home,” she said.

How will same-sex marriage rulings affect children?

The Supreme Court's decisions Wednesday on same-sex marriage reflect the nation's political divide over the issue. But experts say what these decisions may mean to children — both the kids of gay and lesbian parents and the self-image of LGBT kids — has cultural and legal implications.
"It's definitely a positive thing for children of same-sex couples," says Kathleen Hull, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, who studies same-sex relationships.
"The specific legal ramifications depend on the circumstances — how that child came to be; whether it's the child of a prior heterosexual marriage. In a lot of cases, children will have expanded access to insurance and various other government benefits and protections that will come automatically as a result of having two legal parents."
Social Security benefits are an example, she says. "In states where same-sex marriage is recognized and the federal government didn't, if the non-biological parent in a same-sex couple passed away, the child in the federal government's eyes was not eligible for those benefits and now they are," Hull says.
An estimated 37% of LGBT Americans have had a child, meaning as many as 6 million U.S. children and adults have an LGBT parent, according to findings from a national study released in February by the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute, which studies gay and lesbian trends. The report "LGBT Parenting in the United States" provides a demographic portrait of LGBT parenting in the United States.
"Most attention has focused on the adults in this debate, but children are also big winners with today's rulings," agrees Adam Pertman, executive director of the Donaldson Adoption Institute in New York. "We know children derive significant benefits when their parents are married. So this is good news indeed for the girls and boys who can now live in families with the same social, economic and personal advantages as their peers who have married, heterosexual mothers and fathers."
