Walking on Eggshells
Weekly Sex Tip: Want to keep your male vitality? Don’t over eat! During the arousal and the intercourse, the blood flows to your penis, while excessive food will not contribute to a better erection. It's better to include vegetables, like celery and tomatoes, nuts, seafood, olive oil and other healthy food in your diet, especially if you plan a hot evening. Fast-food and alcohol will make you sluggish in bed that won't look sexy for your partner.
Sex Fact: A man’s penis not only shrinks during cold weather but also from nonsexual excitement like when his favorite football team scores a touchdown, etc.
Love LA Update: In January of 2008, we held a consumer sensuality show called, appropriately, Love LA. The event was a celebration of sexuality catered toward couples and females, featuring seminars, upscale products, information, and stage shows highlighting the non-pornographic side of our industry. We had about 1100 people attend in a driving rainstorm and we were buoyed enough by this initial success to do it again; hence, January 31st, 2010 will be our target date for next Love LA Show. Please visit the Love LA website for more information, news, and updates and mark your calendar to celebrate all things sexy once again.
Fetish of the Week: Does the thought of urinating on, or being urinated on, turn you on? If so, you are a Urolagniac, which is to say a person who derives sexual pleasure from all things urine. Also known as “watersports” or “golden showers,” many couples enjoy this fetish (especially in the comfort of their bathtubs) and countless porn films have been made utilizing this fairly common fetish.
Burning Man Goodness: Our RV departs on Thursday, August 27th for the Black Rock Desert and all things playa. If you happen to be making the journey yourselves, we’ll be located in Kidsville, Camp Hot Monkey Sox.
Sexy Sounds: Bombay Dub Orchestra’s self titled collection marries a 28-piece Indian string orchestra, keyboards, beats, and some Indian session players into a warm, melodic chillout experience perfect for relaxing naked with your partner over a sophisticated cocktail. We also love Cinematic Orchestra’s Ma Fleur, with its deep tones and haunting vocals; Aphex Twin’s Drukqs, which almost feels like founder Richard D. James scoured his old hard drives and slapped the songs together (with fabulous results); and finally, we recommend Lida Husik’s 1995 album Joyride, a breezy collection of summer magic that never seems to get old.
Product Love: For some reason, our Twitter community has been abuzz about the Eroscillator, which happens to be our favorite sexual health product. Much like a powered toothbrush, the Eroscillator doesn’t vibrate and pound the clitoris like most vibrators, instead moving back and forth at high speed in a rubbing motion. This means more surface area is covered and less numbing after prolonged use, resulting in hugely intense orgasms. We love it so much it never leaves our headboard – seriously.

Parting Thoughts: Our summer of transition, which included closing our retail location, barely scraping together the funds to save our home, shoring up our online business, and reconnecting with friends old and recent, is now winding down and leaving us uplifted and truly happy for the first time in many years. Our son’s surfing skills are improving with each stroke into the lineup and he’s bonding with neighborhood friends in ways we did ourselves when his age. He now bikes regularly to meet up with his buddies, has found renewed enjoyment from tossing a baseball, and hasn’t complained a single bit about our avoidance of high ticket price blockbusters or shiny new video games and other assorted purchases. Cutting back, it seems, does foster a sense of value from which we believe our whole country will benefit.
Sexually, things have rebounded nicely from a sluggish 2008 slump that seemed to persevere through spring of this year. Closing the store has meant more time to stretch our boundaries and try new products – always a nice sexual catalyst. Hopefully, sales will continue to climb though our online store and via affiliate links to keep a roof over our heads; but if not, we can always pile into our 1985 RV, say goodbye to Mar Vista, and find a new white picket fence somewhere in the vast sunny expanse of LA to call home.
