The Banished Immortal

As I was approaching one of the few pretentious places to eat in my hometown (a place where going green has come to mean going green with envy at the sight of a productively employed person) I paused on the sidewalk, trying to recall my morning conversation with Jen. For the past five years, my friend Jen and I have been meeting once a week, usually at a coffee shop and usually for the purpose of keeping each other sane.

Orgasms | Faking to Anorgasmia

Faking orgasm goes back in time. Roman poet Ovid advised women to fake, 'if nature withheld' in his book Ars Amatora.

"And if Nature has withheld from you the sensation of pleasure, then teach your lips to lie and say you feel it all. Unhappy is the woman who feels no answering thrill. However, if you have to pretend, don't betray yourself by over-acting. Let your movements and your eyes combine to deceive us, and, gasping, panting, complete the illusion."

The act of pretending, through vocal and bodily movements, isn't foreign. People from all cultures fake from time to time, and the interesting part? We're never tired of dissecting the reasons behind the ultimate fake. It's not a matter of how, but why?

Dragon's Breath

The silhouettes danced against the pale curtains like puppets in an ancient theatre. Thom watched from the street, hands gripping the steering wheel. Sally moved with her new lover as if she knew his body, as if she had learned his rhythm already. Her long hair swung free, and Thom watched as she stroked it up and down the man’s back. He remembered how that felt.

Playboy Magazine, Hate Fucks & Misogyny

Controversy always sells copy. It also offers prime time television mentions and Playboy Magazine is never far from controversy, but the recent controversy over a web article is the type of controversy that Playboy can do without.

The View's Elizabeth Hasselbeck  was recently offended by an online Playboy article titled, "So Right, It's Wrong." She loathed the article so much that it became the subject of a recent View Hot Topic.

Defloration Disaster: Winning Bidder Pulls Out

Natalie Dylan is the world famous 22 year old virgin who put her virginity online. The winning bid of US$3.8 million dollars, from 38 year old (and married) Australian businessman known as 'Romeo', led the bidding.

Helmut Newton: SUMO

The Helmut Newton Foundation will host two new exhibitions from 3 June: Sumo and Three Boys from Pasadena.

Ten years ago, publisher Benedikt Taschen persuaded Helmut Newton to agree to produce a gigantic book with a print run of 10,000 copies, all signed by the photographer. Accompanied by a custom-made book holder by Philippe Starck, the book found its way into the homes of well-heeled buyers.

California Upholdes Gay Marriage Ban

California's Supreme Court has upheld a referendum which outlawed gay marriage, but said 18,000 same-sex weddings carried out before the vote would remain legally valid.

Sex, Violence and Genital Mutilation at Cannes

Lars Von Tier is known for controversial film maker, and his new film is set to raise more questions.
Antichrist, stars Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg. A thriller about madness and love, it is becoming known for its close-up sex and genital mutilation. The film opens with a close-up of sexual penetration, journeys into violence and concludes with Gainsborough slicing off her clitoris. The story centers on a couple who retreat to a remote cabin to overcome their grief for their infant son.

"This is a very dark dream about guilt and sex and stuff," said Von Tier, to a hostile news conference after the film's premiere, which is one of 20 films competing for the Palme d'Or award.

Dirty Weekend: God and Girls and Viagra

I didn't have much of a Dirty Weekend. The time to surf the web was limited with weekend work commitments. It was only when surfing an online fashion forum that I arrived at a hot blog and then, as I was visiting my blog links, I came across a great post on erectile enhancers. First thing first, a model's introspection and photographs:

The first post had me dazzled. A photo shoot for Marie Claire (France) caught my eye. Two of the images are here and you can see the rest on Tia Eckhardt's blog, The Light of God and Girls. According to Tia, the inspiration for the title of her blog came from a Russell Brand interview where the interviewer asked Russell about how he overcame drugs and other things.

Premature Climax for Chinese Sex Park

It was hailed as the first sex themed park in China, but China's first explicit theme park has experienced a premature climax. According to news agencies (Reuters) the park was demolished after an outcry from Chinese officials, who called the park "vulgar, ill-minded and misleading."

The park was to open in Chongqing. Many residents of the area weren't impressed with a sex themed park, and going by the pictures, the park - lacking the style of South Korea's Jeju Loveland - seems to be in need of a creative spark.

The Fourth Arch

Blair rolled off of Donovan, panting. “I can’t stand it when you don’t come,” she blurted. She covered her face with her hands intent on not crying.
“Babe, it is not big deal. You came. Twice if I counted that right.” Her husband nudged her in the ribs, playfully.
“It’s not funny. This is the third time. I can’t help but feel,” Blair stopped, swallowed hard to keep from crying, “that I have somehow lost my appeal to you.” She stood, pulled on her robe.

Pills, Potions and the Concept of Female Sexual Dysfunction

There's no denying it. We live in a medicated society. There is a pill for every ailment and women are in for more products to restore their supposedly diminishing libido.

The race to get drugs like LibiGel and Flibanserin approved by the FDA is on despite the flimsiness of female sexual disorders. The difficulty of defining the latter is and has been a problem for some time. When the vibrator came into being, it did so due to quackery of the era. Women were deemed hysterical, requiring massage to bring them to a much needed climax so they could function mentally.

One Eyed Monster: Ron Jeremy Possessed

Ron Jeremy's new film, One-Eyed Monster is described as a tribute to The Thing and Alien. I can think of a small array of horror films that feature an evil critter in search of a host and they all work quite well to instill menace and fear. This time, an adult film crew is stranded in a blizzard, the main man dies for an alien to be possess his penis (naturally). I wonder what James Tiptree Jr/Alice Sheldon (The Screwfly Solution) would have thought about this type of invasion?

Blog Excerpt: Blowjob in Red

There are things I don't like. I'm just not so sure if blowjobs are one of them.

Let me clarify: I'm just not so sure if I'm 100% in love with sucking cock. It may depend on my lover, my mood or something I can't grasp between my fingers. Within me, the very thing that scratches my brain, is the real reason. Call it the pornographic precedent. Give it a name. Call her Linda Lovelace and recall the obscenely thick cock she swallowed like a circus act in Deep Throat. Talk about sucking cock. There is and there will be no other film that will create a similar impact. Hey, we look at cocksucking on film and think, "bah, whatever." At least I do. Linda was different. Although I don't like to blame dead porn stars, I do attribute my first cock nerves to being a naughty teen glimpsing Deepthroat but this post isn't about my first blowjob.

 

 

The Escape

Her lungs seized as she heard the creak of a floorboard near the door’s entrance. The moonlight coming through the French window cast shadows that moved whenever the breeze swept through the muslin curtains—the tendons on her hand contrasted as she froze above the keyboard.
A voice permeated through the tension. ‘What are you doing here?’
There was no point running. She had tried that a week ago when she awoke from being drugged. The guards had shrugged and chuckled when she jumped out the window and dashed across the lawn, running madly despite the cuts and bruises from the recent struggle. After an hour of darting through thickets and forest, she knew she was trapped on an island. Somewhere. Escape would not be easy.

Best Sex Writing 2009

Best Sex Writing 2009 differs from Best Sex Writing 2008. Whereas Rachel Kramer Bussel selected the 2008 essays, this year's selection is selected by MSNBC's Sexploration columnist, Brian Alexander. Irrespective of selection, Best Sex Writing 2009 is the final anthology from the George W Bush era (not the final anthology in the series).

Sex & Recession: DIY Sex Industry Stimulus Packages

There are many different outcomes during this recession. In the United States, women have been reported to be turning toward the adult industry, earning impressive salaries however other parts of the United States report a heavy dip in profit. As far as Australia is concerned, the unemployment level has increased and variable success is found by women turning toward sex work. Discounted sex services seem to be in vogue. A recent visit to Sydney’s red light district, Kings Cross I overheard two street sex workers offering mid-week discounts to male passers-by. From Nevada to Germany, the sex industry isn’t a recession proof. Recession resistant perhaps, as indicated by Berlin’s Pussy Club and its discount offers, but many brothels are experiencing the financial pinch.

Chilled

March 2004: Room 31

Cynthia's eyes snapped open. The sharp pulse within her womb coincided with a raucous blast. Her brain hurried to catch up with her bearings; life within the chaos of Baghdad meant that she'd drift into sleep, walk into a dream and fool herself into thinking that she'd returned to New Orleans; her mother oversaw her latest soufflé, to the strains of her dad rooting for his favorite pro-wrestler on ESPN, and she'd either soar with ecstatic delight, or shrug her shoulders:

A Summer Pastoral

"Put your phone away, Jorge!" Bea automatically responded to a beeping sound across the room. She watched the high school junior as he rolled his eyes and tucked the cell away in his jeans pocket.Bea should have confiscated it. As she turned away, she noticed several other plastic and metallic flashes in the late afternoon light spilling across the room as other students stashed their phones.

Moonlit Rendezvous

23rd June 1770

Lady Alicia Milburn smiled as she sat at her dressing table, studying her reflection in the gilded mirror.The local dressmaker had outdone herself this time, coming up with a dress, which perfectly captured the spirit of Cleopatra. Made of the finest silk, it wasn't quite see-through, but it was close enough to turn heads.  Not that she'd chosen it to turn heads. She'd chosen it because she wanted to look attractive for her Italian lover, Count Calastro.The coming masquerade was the ideal opportunity for intimacy and she wanted to make sure he only had eyes for her.  

Reliquary

He knew it was bad when Thora, who lived a thirty-minute seventy miles-per-hour drive outside of town, arrived at his place a scant eight minutes after phoning him. The knuckles rapping out "shave and a haircut" against his apartment door despite the presence of a perfectly functional and melodious doorbell could belong to no one else.

Blessed Hellride

Adrienne loved nothing more than greeting her lover at the door dressed for sex. Layers of lace and ribbon, silk stockings and garters, a tight lace bustier with matching panties; and those vampy six-inch red stilettos so sharp they could be used to skin a lion. She was disappointed when Marcus called ten minutes before he was to arrive and said only, "Get your coat. I'll be there soon. Wear nothing beneath it. Wear nothing at all."

Exit, Stage-Left

All great love affairs honeymoon for a short period of time. I have been unable to locate a reliable statistic; all I know is that all honeymoons come to an end. The end may vary. A relationship is a mere story, or a theatrical play; the curtain must come down, and if the other party is reluctant to bring it down, one must become...what's the word? Yes, the operative word in the 21st century is proactive.
