When we talk about dating and relationships and hookups and sex, it is often assumed that we know what the hell we are doing. (Well, actually, I do, but that's another story dear reader). Not exactly so, as one need only look at the niche market dedicated to "How to have a <<insert some imperative love/sex/intimacy related issue here>>". But what about the fundamental practices - e.g. kissing, flirting, getting numbers - that could elevate a potential love or sex interest to that all important next level? Well, thanks to the cool folks at Howcast , a new genre of video content streaming teaches you "How to Do Anything" your little heart desires.
- How to Flirt? Check.
- How to Kiss? Check.
- How to get rid of a One Night Stand? Check.
- How to tell if your Significant Other is Psycho? Check.
My personal favorite is How to Get Rid of a Hickey:
While they've created a special Valentine's Day Playlist with all sorts of topics to help you survive the day, what is uber cool about Howcast is how they obtain content for their site, including from:
- In house directors/producers/writers/filmmaking folk
- Collaborations with established filmmakers
- Emerging filmmakers
- Folks like you and me who want to upload a How to video or create/edit a Wiki
While I don't anticipate uploading a "How to Hook Up" video anytime soon…I DO think it's quite cool that they are cultivating new talent by partnering with academic programs to support emerging new filmmakers. They even provide the tools to make it happen (e.g. script, voice over, music, etc) The creative juices just need to come from the students. How cool is that??? They're still in beta, but check them out, because you can find out just about How to do Anything. As for me, I'll be perusing all the other categories they have. Enjoy!
