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.

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.

Remember those obnoxious deodorant commercials: “Strong enough for a man, pH balanced for a woman”? Those always pissed me off. What does that even mean, first of all, and second of all that just reeks of marketing ploy. Of course, gender-targeted marketing has gotten much more pervasive since then, but even so, I am highly skeptical of any unisex product that is strictly marketed toward a particular gender. So when I was first introduced to Pink, I rolled my eyes, I snorted, I made snarky comments about the patriarchy and its apparently unending hegemony. Silicone lubricant “for women”? Puh-leez.
But then I tried it. This stuff is GOOD. Now, keep in mind, I used to be a 
devotee of Slippery Stuff, but let’s be honest. That stuff gets stickier than a melted popsicle in about 10 seconds flat. I do love me some Liquid Silk, but it tastes kinda yucky. I’ve tried other silicone lubes, and they all felt like fucking in an oil slick, so I wasn’t keen on trying another, thinking all silicone was created equal, but this stuff is different. Yeah it’s slick, and yeah, it’s not water soluble so it doesn’t just absorb into your skin (good for slickeriness, bad for trying to wash up after), but it has this unique, almost velvety feel to it. I don’t really know how to describe it, but it adds just a little bit of texture to the sensation, so you get that eternal lubrication of silicone with just a touch of friction. Plus, it really does moisturize, which seems like a strange thing to want for your business, but let me tell you, my parts were silky smooth.
I still don’t know about all this “for women” nonsense. My cis-gendered male honey loves this stuff too, for all the same reasons. But I’m willing to turn the other cheek for now, so long as they keep making the stuff.

I’m a pretty indecisive person. Or rather, I hate having to narrow down my choices when there are so many good options! This is why I love Ripley. Why choose between a butt plug and anal beads when you can get the best of both worlds in one shimmery purple toy?
Ripley is made of 100% medical grade platinum silicone – which means it’s incredibly durable, totally non-porous, easy to clean, and because it contains no metal components, you can even boil it to clean it (or put it in the dishwasher, if you’re so bold!). It also retains temperature nicely if you want to cool it down or heat it up (but not too much, please! No burning or freezing your hiney!) and if you hold a vibrator up to the base, it will transmit the vibration through the whole thing! And it comes in two sizes so you can find the perfect fit for you!
But the best part of Ripley is the design. It starts off very small at the tip and you can ease your way into it, one “bead” at a time. So by the time you get to the base of the toy, you 
won’t even realize you put the whole thing in. Seriously. That’s why this toy is great for beginners – so don’t be intimidated by the large base of the thing. It’s also lovely for experienced butt lovers as well, due to its unique shape. What happens is this – your anal sphincters close over each small “neck” between the “beads” and the open again as the beads get larger. This pulsating of your sphincter muscles can be very enjoyable as it mimics the contractions of orgasm (albeit slowly). When you get the thing all the way in, you can just enjoy the full feeling you get from any butt plug… and for the grand finale, pull the beads out slowly (or quickly… depending on your preference!) as you come, and it will enhance your orgasmic contractions. Heaven!
The only downside to the Ripley, as far as I’m concerned, is that the final neck at the base is kind of wide. What this means is as you’re doing your other business – masturbating or enjoying the company of others – it’ll slide out a bit, so that the long wide base is sticking out of your ass and you have to push it back in. This isn’t a huge deal, as generally speaking, it’ll stop sliding once it reaches the biggest bead, but it can be a kind of weird sensation. Nevertheless, this is the *only* problem I have with this toy.
Basically, Ripley is a pure delight, for those who want to both have and eat their cake, or for anyone who wants a new ride for their butt to test drive.

…sez The Onion.
Once again, The Onion sticks it to us hilariously for our utter stupidity. Even those of us who know our “vulvas” from our “vaginas” can have trouble saying the right term at the right time.
And can someone PLEASE come up with a good enough, not-too-cutesy, too scientific, or too graphic shorthand for cunnilingus? Something that will stick, culturally? Some equivalent to blowjob? I mean “pussy licking” is great, but are you going to say that around the water cooler? If you don’t work at EtB, I mean? Not that we hang out around the water cooler.
Anyway. Read the article. Hilarious.
