masturbation


I was tipped off to this awesome video project called “Immersion: Porn” on BoingBoing – Robbie Cooper pieced together interviews with people talking about their relationship to porn, intercut with videos of them masturbating to their favorite movies… but you only see them from the neck up. Kinda like the Libido DVD Orgasm! Faces of Ecstacy, except with interviews and a little more edge.

It’s incredibly personal, illuminating, and titillating. Check it out.

Hi Friends,

I just wanted to share this great question & following discussion about Orgasm on one of my favorite sites feministing.com. If you are a woman who has had trouble “achieving” orgasm, you might want to read this. No simple solution, but some good advice.

xoxo,

searah

This is just one of the 10 strange things about orgasm you’ll learn from this video. Also, watch a farmer in Denmark sexually stimulate his pig, learn about the best cure for hiccups and hear of a woman who has orgasms every time she brushes her teeth.

16 minutes of well-spent time, I assure you.

No, not here, sadly. Where else? San Francisco.

And as much as I love to hate the Bay Area’s woo-woo silliness, there’s a part of me that’s just plain jealous that they can have Masturbate-a-thons all willy-nilly. Can you imagine one of those in the Midwest? Oh my. Where are my smelling salts? Unless I’m missing something, and everyone is at some super-awesome masturbate-a-thon that I wasn’t invited to.

Anyway. Here’s an article about it, with pics, if you have those smelling salts handy. My personal fave is the smug quote from the masturbating guy who hates SF Weekly because it’s “too snarky.” How about we trade you some of our Midwest snark for some of your Bay Area woo-woo?

Today’s search term: Bicycle Sex

This search term immediately caught my eye, though it’s less humorous on the surface than many of the other topics I’ve chosen. It makes me think of three things:

1) The scene in Sixteen Candles with Long Duck Dong dry-humping his girlfriend on the exercise bike at that party.

2) Trying, unsuccessfully, to get myself off on my bike whilst riding over rumble strips.

3) The surreal bike-fucking scene in the porn Insexts (which we only have for rent, not for sale, but which you might want to check out).

First things first. Can you have sex on a bike? This depends on several factors, but with enough ambition, I’m sure you can do just about anything. First – is the bike moving? Is it an exercise bike or a road bike? What kind of sex do you want to be having, and will you be having it with another person? (More on sex with the bike in part 3).  I suspect that having intercourse or other partner sex with another person on a moving bicycle outside would be very tricky for all but the most acrobatic of participants, but hey, more power to you if you can swing it. And if you can swing it, please leave a comment with tips for us less acrobatic folk.

A stationary bicycle would probably be much easier. One person can rest/lean on the handlebars, or one or both of you could both balance on the seat. Or, if you’re like the characters in Sixteen Candles and you have access to one of those old school bicycles that mimics a sex chair, well, much of your work is already done for you! Just hump each other and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

2) I rode my bike across the country, and this left me with long hours to contemplate ways to better entertain myself. Scenery was nice, except when it was boring, and biking sure got old. So I thought, hey! People talk about getting off on bikes… think it’s possible? Generally speaking, riding a bike long distances does more to numb one’s clit than stimulate it, at least in my experience, but I thought maybe some extra stimulation from roadside rumble strips might do the trick.

Eh, not exactly. But I can say that the really small, close-together bumps were much more likely to do some good than the bigger, further apart bumps. So… if you’re more patient and determined than I, you might be able to get yourself off while riding your bike, by using the road as a vibrator!

3) Okay. Insexts is ultimately not a terribly satisfying porn, in my opinion, as most of it is a surreal, arty fashion show with the models dressed as insects. It has its own appeal, sure… it would be great background video at a fashionable party, but it’s just not sexy. However. There is another component of the movie that does not involve pretty, pouty girls dressed as butterflies. This part of the movie involves pretty girls in bike helmets fucking themselves with bike seats shaped like dildos.

Yeah. They’re standing over their bikes but instead of riding them, they’re riding them. The seats all have dildo-shaped extensions out the front, and the actors roll the bikes back and forth for high-tech bike-fucking action. This part is really cool, very unique, and strangely erotic. Did I mention they’re wearing bike helmets? Safety first.

So how does this translate into practice? Well, you could fashion your own dildo bike seat. Or you could get one of those extra-long bike seats, but be careful for pointy parts. You might even have a bike with handlebars smooth and straight enough for fucking, or again, make your own. Like I said, anyone with enough determination can figure out a way to have sex with their bicycle.

If this doesn’t get you to stop driving your car in favor of bicycling, I don’t know what will.

This article requires very little introduction. Just be sure to read the police report below it.

Today’s topic: third eye in my vagina

A couple of days ago, someone asked me if I am ever shocked or surprised anymore, having worked in sex toy shops for so many years. My answer was, unequivocally, NO. Nothing can surprise me, and as such, I cannot judge. I find this to be a helpful thing, as the range of human sexual proclivities is so broad and so rich that to judge would be to inhibit.

Well folks, today I was surprised. Shocked, even. Not merely by the gem of a search term that you see at the top of this column, but by the results of my Google research for the same.  Please see Exhibit A:

WHAT?!?!

Take a moment to chuckle to yourselves.  I’ll wait.

I hesitate to link to the site where I got this image, but I suppose, in all fairness, I should. Who knows what sassy comebacks I might get from the proprietors of the site?

The “Happeh” theory, as it’s called, makes some vague claims as to the connection between penis/vagina intercourse (with vagina as third eye) and getting one’s actual forehead third eye fucked. I’m not exactly sure what point they’re trying to make as they don’t really explicitly state it, but here’s a quote for illustrative purposes:

What kinds of effect would the penis having intercourse with the third eye induce in the human body? How would the penis having intercourse with the third eye effect the head of a human being? How would the penis having intercourse with the third eye effect the brain of a human being?

I wish I had some snarky comeback, but I’m actually pretty speechless.

So. I’m not sure if the person who came sniffing around our site was satisfied with the information they found here, but I suppose if they wanted to know more, they could check out this site instead.

Am I missing something? Please, enlighten me.

But let’s be honest, those ass eyes are pretty hilarious, no?

ADDENDUM: Just looked at the main page of that site. Looks like masturbation will make a person blind and crippled! And gay! Who knew? Oh this site is a gem. Enjoy.
