Pala and Al are the hosts and authors of the “Ask About Love And Sex Blog.” According to them, they have had a web presence for their business, publishing and advice forays since 1996, and are considered to be some of the web’s earliest adapters to conducting business on the web.
Their business is offering advice, through publications and textual instructions, on how to, shall we say “do it.” Only, not to “do it” like a couple of fumbly teenagers in the back of dad’s Beemer. But to do it respectfully, lovingly, and with a tantric twist.
The content of the site is revealing, to say the least, and often Not Safe For Work (NSFW). But one would expect that with the category at hand. There are a lot of added on widgets that kind of pull it into a web 2.0 format, lots of links like AdBrite, Blog Rush and MyBlogLog community boxes.
Content wise, the bulk of the material is text from their books and workshops. Each entry is footed with a giant assortment of “spread the word” style links, so readers can “digg” or or “del.icio.us” the content around the web.
The one real fault I find with the blog is that the title is “Ask About Love And Sex” but I never saw a Questions from our Readers kind of forum where questions were answered. It seems that the content is all about the answers to questions not voiced through the blog, and perhaps the title should be changed to Answers About Love And Sex. But I get the feeling that the goal is to make money through the website by propagating content, monetizing the site, and stuff like that.
Like I’ve said in dozens of reviews before, everyone wants to make money through blogging and I fault no one with that. I bet Al and Pala are tremendously friendly and helpful, loving people. And I can tell they have a sense of humor because the categories section has a “sexy jokes and quotes” topic. I give the site a 3 rating and wish Al and Pala the best in their ongoing efforts to help the world “do it…” better.
