Sometimes “hand jobs” get a bad rap. “Intercourse’s [or a blow job’s] poor cousin,” some people say. And as it applies to women, “fingering,” while an accurate descriptor for some vulva/vagina stimulation activities, evokes a rapid in-out motion of finger-in-vagina, which is insufficient for most women to to experience orgasm. The phrase often invoked to [...]
As many regular MSP readers know, the Wondrous Vulva Puppet is one of my favorite traveling companions. I’ve spent most of the (Northern Hemisphere) summer visiting family and friends in far-flung places and predictably, brought my favorite teaching tool in my carry-on. This time, the Vulva Puppet made an appearance in London, England. For your [...]
New research on HIV antibodies could bring science closer to an HIV vaccine, report Australian researchers. Professor Stephen Kent and colleagues at the University of Melbourne recently published their study, which demonstrated significant changes in HIV infection when antibodies were introduced. They hope that if these antibodies could be delivered prior to HIV infection, it [...]
Many men struggle with keeping an erection while wearing condoms, but a new product, dubbed “the Viagra condom,” could help. Despite its name, the condom does not actually contain Viagra. Instead, it’s lined with a vasodilating gel (a gel which dilates blood vessels), which could help men maintain sufficient blood flow to sustain their erections. [...]
“I wish I’d been taught that in my sex ed” is something I hear quite often from participants in the “pleasure physiology” workshops that I teach. Clearly, sexual pleasure is important to most people, but rarely do we get comprehensive education on the subject unless we actively seek it out. In my workshops, I love [...]
George Takei, one of my favorite Star Trek actors, is coming out against a new Tennessee bill. The “Don’t Say Gay” bill, as it’s known, aims to make it illegal for elementary- and middle-school teachers to discuss homosexuality in the classroom. Takei, who is himself openly gay, has been a vocal and entertaining advocate for [...]
While driving through Kauai, HI, I saw this genital-in-the-wild out of the corner of my eye and (of course) stopped to take a picture. The unintentional penis-and-balls monument was made even more comical by the fact that it’s situated in front of a seniors’ home. I hope the retirees giggle every time they walk past [...]
The Wondrous Vulva Puppet is becoming quite the globe trotter. First China, then New York, and now Hawaii! Not about to miss an opportunity for a vulva puppet post, I snapped this photo while visiting Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. Can you see Diamond Head in the background? All it needs is a drink with an [...]
“Lavishly Lubed” and “Regally Ribbed,” Crown Jewels condom brand has created a collector’s edition to commemorate the Royal Wedding. “Like a Royal Wedding, intercourse with a loved one is an unforgettable occasion,” says the Crown Jewels webpage. While I know many of us (myself included) are getting a little weary of hearing about the Royal [...]
While exploring what cultural offerings were stored in the mini-bar at my hotel in Beijing, I came across this “Intimacy Kit.” Have a look at the contents–I think it’s quite conscientious of the management to provide safer sex supplies, and I can even understand the wet wipes, but Band-Aids? I wonder what sorts of sexual [...]
Loading ...Longtime MSP readers will know that we are big fans of Clarisse Thorn‘s writing: she intelligently tackles important sex topics such as BDSM, sexual submission, open relationships, and sex-positivity. So we of course were super-excited when her book, Confessions of a Pickup Artist Chaser, came out (available on Amazon and Smashwords and in paperback). Clarisse [...]
