Random Summer Musings…
Weekly Sex Tip: Avoid a heavy meal before sex. Oysters and asparagus are assumed to be aphrodisiacs, but this is only because of visual or olfactory associations. Champagne is a better bet, but choose a less acidic one, lest exotic Kama Sutra-style acts cause indigestion.
Sex Fact: King Fatafehi Paulah of Tonga proclaimed it was his royal duty to take the virginity of every woman in his kingdom, it is estimated that he deflowered 37,800 during his lifetime. He never slept with the same woman twice.
Podcast Update: This week, we invited back our sex bloggers Syl and Mina to discuss fetishes and kink. If you’ve ever wondered about the various strange desires lurking in the minds of men (and women), tune in and listen to this very informative episode. Also, we’ll be starting special casts exclusive to LA Weekly soon, focusing on local businesses, people, and places we find sexy and worth a look. Got a suggestion for a cast? Please let us know!
Fetish of the Week: Let’s see if you can figure out Klismaphilia. If you said Klismaphilia is the term for people who enjoy receiving and giving enemas, you’d be correct. Though yucky at first glance, the bright side is a shiny clean anus always ready for anal sex!
Sexy Sounds: Royksopp’s Happy Up There is a cool little tune perfect for summer cruising. We also love relaxing to the coastal melody Under the Sky, from ATB. Other sexy tunes we stumbled across this past week are Rushing, from Moby, Boom Bip’s Last Walk Around Mirror Lake, and Edgar, from Modeselektor.
Product Love: Two weeks ago, at the Adult Novelty Expo, we feel head over heels in lust with the wooden pleasure objects from Texas-based NobEssence. Handcrafted from a variety of hardwoods (using sustainable forestry practices, they add), their product line encompasses a wide range of sizes, colors, and functions. Primarily designed for insertion, NobEssence also makes lovely cock rings, and they make pieces for anal and vaginal use, accordingly. Admittedly, we were concerned with hygiene (wood is porous, so theoretically can harbor bacteria); however, NobEssence uses a 16 step finishing process to seal the wood, making all of their pieces not only hypo-allergenic, but waterproof as well. Our favorite item in their catalog is the Fling, which can be used for both g-spot and prostate stimulation.
We also “came” across a couple of video titles we enjoyed, the first another Hustler parody called “This Aint Hell’s Kitchen XXX.” Featuring Chef “Rams-her,” this video skewers the hot headed character (and a few hot ladies) as they attempt to survive the inevitable episode ending cut. Wicked Picture’s Stormy Daniels has directed a sequel to 2008’s adult comedy Operation Desert Stormy, which finds our heroine (Stormy) stumbling on to the hideout of Kim Jong-il in Operation: Tropical Stormy. We must give credit to Ms. Daniels – she definitely knows how to direct a proper sex scene and we found ourselves reaching for the lube within the first 15 minutes. The movie keeps with Wicked’s high standards, with good photography, a tight script, and passable acting, making this a very good title to watch together.
Our last pick is the book Urban Tantra – Sacred Sex for the 21st Century, by Barbara Carrellas. Part spiritual wisdom, part erotic how-to, this wonderful read updates the ancient practice of Tantra for our modern sensibilities and times. If you’re looking to push your boundaries past their edge, mind-blowing orgasms will be your reward. FYI- we’re huge proponents of Tantra as a sure fire way to improve your sex life.
Final Thoughts: With summer on the home stretch, we’re turning our attentions toward our yearly sojourn to Burning Man, getting Hoe-NAY (our funky RV) tuned up, prepping costumes, and participating in as many pre-burn events as our schedule permits. This year should be fairly mellow compared to past burns, with the down economy shrinking attendance by approximately 10% and many of the hardcore participants taking a break for various other reasons. Heck, even Cirque Berzerk will be absent, with stalwart fun-by-day-camp The Deep End taking its final bow last year. On the plus side, abnormally high rainfall has returned the Black Rock Desert to almost pristine condition, which will cut the dust dramatically and make getting around easier. Fewer people will also cut the crazy factor down, meaning we might be able to enjoy more of the activities that had crowded us out in the past. Good times will be had no matter what and, if you are making the journey yourself this year, we’ll be in Kidsville, Curmudgeon quadrant, Camp Hot Monkey Sox.
