It’s wintertime and the lovin’ is easy. With a spike in online dating from November through February and more people keeping each other warm during the cold nights, who better to guest star on ‘Dot Complicated with Randi Zuckerberg’ other than licensed sex therapist and host of TLC’s “All About Sex,” Dr. Tiffanie Davis Henry and online dating expert and digital matchmaker, Julie Spira!
