Hot and Hopeful
It’s that Santa Ana time of year, folks. Oppressive heat, fires, high winds, and shorter days have arrived to take us through a few weeks of fall before giving way to cooler temps mid-November through spring. Despite the high temps, though, this may just be our favorite time of year; the tourists have split, the ocean temps are at their warmest, and if we are so inclined, prices on most SoCal attractions have dropped almost to the point of making Disneyland a worthwhile visit. There’s still enough daylight to surf with our son afterschool most days and fall baseball promises to be an adequate sports activity to keep our son occupied without over burdening him. Our life has once again settled into a nice, ambling pattern allowing for plenty of downtime (when not working) and opportunities to see friends who might’ve been too busy to visit or host us during the summer months.
The best part of fall, though, is the return to school and early bedtimes for our son. This allows us to spend more hours focusing on improving our sex lives (trying new toys, techniques, stretching boundaries, etc.) and we’ve dived headlong into our “job” with an enthusiasm bordering on fanatical. Say what you will about long term relationships and the negative effects of time on sexual passion; we directly challenge all of it and are enjoying each other more in our 21st year than any preceding it. Check our site – our sex tracker is gaining ground after our 12 day Burning Man hiatus and we’ve even been posting new reviews at a rate not seen since before venturing into brick and mortar retailing. Despite the long recession, we’ve plenty of reasons to rejoice and we hope all LA citizens feel likewise.
Sex Tip: Abstain! Agree to place a ban on sex – but not on foreplay or even oral pleasure – for a certain length of time (we usually go 4-5 days) and focus on everything except intercourse. Abstaining from sex can recharge the libidos and have you humping like back in your dating days!
Sex Fact: Having sex at least once per week can lower a man’s risk of heart disease by 30%, stroke by 50%, and diabetes by 40%. It has also been shown that men with an active sex life are more likely to live past 80 years.
Product Love: A tea that makes you horny? So the folks at Intimate Teas claim with their new product Screaming O. With a proprietary blend of herbs, Screaming O purports to “be an aphrodisiac, sexual stimulant, and increases orgasms,” whatever all that means. Usually, we toss products like this straight into the garbage; however, Intimate Teas happens to manufacture another tea we absolutely love called My Maple Cookie, which changes the scent and flavor of one’s love juices (egad, did we just type “love juices?” Ugh). Anyway, based on the strong performance of My Maple Cookie, we owed it to the company to at least try their latest tea at least once, right?
We’re happy to report that Screaming O tea worked as advertised, enhancing our sexual mood and providing a nice boost to our love making. The tea even nudged us toward an all-too-rare second shag a mere hour after climaxing. Coincidence? Are we simply mental and experiencing a placebo effect? It’s certainly possible, but we like to believe the concoction we ingested was at least partly responsible for our superior romp. Whatever the case, we give props to Intimate Teas for bringing something innovative and fun to the sexual market.
Local Awesomeness: Being Westsiders, we travel east of the 405, um, never. OK, slight exaggeration, but it IS rare to find us floundering around Hollywood, Silver Lake, or the Valley. When that once-a-year occasion presents itself, we love to visit Wacko, located at 4633 Hollywood Boulevard (right where it meets up with Sunset). If you haven’t been to Wacko (introduced to us by Pleasure Chest’s David Ballow), carve out at least six hours and GO. From the eclectic to the bizarre to the totally twisted, this strange bookstore/weird art gallery/crazy gift emporium carries everything from Cheech and Chong dolls to books dedicated to sock monkeys to exploitation-movie posters. Want a truly unique birthday gift? Make the drive.
