[Annie Sprinkle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Sprinkle) Warning: Photo may not be SFW even though nipples have tasteful tassles attached. > [@](#): > > Annie has a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. Her work, spanning more than three decades, is studied at many universities, in theater history, women’s studies, and film studies courses. She also is a faculty member at The New School of Erotic Touch. I like a woman with the capacity for learning at the highest levels of academia.

> [@Chez\_Guevara](#): > > [Annie Sprinkle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Sprinkle) Lovely. She makes one mistake, though. “Annie Sprinkle” is not a sexy name (unless you’re into pee fetish). “Ellen Steinberg,” on the other hand, sounds like a smart, sexually liberal Jewish gal with a good set of yabbos on her. Much more descriptive of who she actually is. ---

Very shortly, I hope, my friend June, who has been pursuing it for an outrageously long time (over thirty years since her baccalaureate), and who still looks as great as she did at 15. ---

> [@The\_Second\_Stone](#): > > Christmas Jones PhD, she looks a lot like a young Denise Richards. [The World Is Not Enough - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Jones) I went to grad school with a woman who looks like Denise Richards, and has her doctorate. Le sigh. I’m probably the only male in North America to _believe_ the Dr. Christmas Jones character. I know other hot women with PhDs, but I can’t find pictures of them on line. ☹ ---
