Welcome to Carnal Knowledge

Wednesday, June 30, 2010

I am Dr. Janell Carroll – a sexologist, author, and college professor. I’m really happy you’re visiting this site. If it’s your first time – thanks for stopping by. If you’ve been here before – welcome back. Over the past few years I’ve been really busy exploring sex around the world – traveling to far away places to learn how people think about and have sex. I have found that culture has an enormous effect on how sexuality is expressed. I’m going to talk about culture and sexuality and even share some interesting videos and photos with you here, so keep posted. If you take a second and explore some of my blog posts, you’ll also notice that I do lots of public speaking. I am available to speak about my international research and I’d love to come to your University or organization (for more information contact us at info@drjanellcarroll). Last year I got to visit a ton of great schools in Iowa, California, Ohio, Florida, Kentucky, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Missouri.

You’ll notice that in the blogs below I’ve explored a variety of issues related to sexuality. I’ll blog about anything related to sex because I love to talk about it. Make sure you subscribe by checking the box below. That way, you’ll know when I’ve added new info and can be the first to check it out. I would also love to hear from you. If you’ve got something to say, questions, or comments, please send ‘em in (info@drjanellcarroll.com). I’d love to hear what you’re thinking.

You’ll also notice to the right of the banner above is a feature called SEXBYTE. Here I’ll give you a little snippet of actual sex research, along with the reference so you’ll know where to go if you want more information. You’ll also find my Tweets (to the right under “What Am I Doing?”) and if you want to follow me on Twitter just go to www.twitter.com and find me (DrJanellCarroll) You’ll also see some of my favorite photos on the FlickR link (just below the Twitter box).

The goal is to keep this hip and fun. After all, sex IS fun, right? Come back soon.

I Kissed A Girl (Stingray).

Monday, April 26, 2010

I just returned home after a relaxing vacation in the sun. In this photo, I’m kissing a female stingray – and I was scared to death! There were so many stingrays under the sand beneath our feet and I had no idea if I was going to step on one. The islanders believe kissing a stingray brings good luck – let’s hope so!

I have never been good at relaxation but I do think it’s good for us to slow down and take time out of our busy schedules to relax. It gives us a chance to focus on what’s really important in life. I have had so many things floating around in my head lately, it’s good to get a clear focus and renewed energy!

On this blog I’m going to continue answering your questions about sexuality, but I’m also going to catch you up on some great research being done in this area. If you have any questions or ideas about content, please shoot me an email and let me know! I’ll look forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, stay posted for a new blog in the next day or so. I’ve got to get the sand out of my toes first (smile).

Dr. Carroll’s Media Reel – 2009

Sunday, June 28, 2009

In this reel, I’ve put together some of the most interesting media work I’ve done over the past few years. You’ll see clips from various television talk shows and major television news networks. I’ve also included some footage from a few of the cross-cultural shows I’ve hosted exploring sexuality around the globe.

I am a strong believer in open and honest conversation about sexuality. We are innundated with sexual messages and information on a daily basis – sex is all over our magazines, newspapers, radios, and our televisions. Unfortunately these sources do not provide the information about sex that we really need. In fact, the material they do present is often factually incorrect. My goal is to find ways to reduce the anxiety associated with sex talk and encourage open dialogue. I will continue to travel the world and talk to men and women of all ages in hopes of finding ways to help people learn the importance of talking about sex. Want to join me? Let’s TALK about sex, baby!
