Feeling Itchy in a sex toy party

well... I had a feeling this day would come, and sure enough.... it did today.

there has been scuttlebutt around the streets of Stepford, and most especially at the recent Bunco gatherings of someone hosting a toy party.

a sex toy party.

I just got my invitation this morning, and I have to tell you... the whole idea makes me feel itchy. ok, ok... I'm sure many (if not MOST) of you are wondering what the problem is with someone throwing one of those sex toy parties. To be completely honest... I don't find anything wrong with someone HAVING one of those parties... I just have major issues with the idea of ATTENDING one.


I mean.. let's face it.. I'm not single anymore... (not that I ever had sex before I got married, mom and dad....) and as much as I enjoy my neighbors... these ladies are NOT my girlfriends. I mean... I don't discuss my marital sex life with these women.. why in hell would I want to purchase an accessory for it in front of them???


I guess it goes back to my little barometer I have when it comes to friends. There's the kind of 'friends' that you would allow to see you without a bra, the kind that you let come bathing suit shopping with you, the kind you can get drunk in front of, the kind you talk about your husband with, and finally... the ultimate level of trust in friendship.... the kind you would go to vegas with.


so... being that only a few of them even qualify for the no-bra level, you can imagine my apprehension for browsing things I would use wearing LESS than my bra.

and of course... if I've said it before, I've said it 100 times. I have issues. my brain??? it's one of those things that just does NOT shut off. the visuals keep coming no matter WHAT I do to cover my eyes. Think that part of Fight Club when Tyler is splicing in pornographic images into kids' movies. it's as perverse as it is horrific. This is about as best I can do to describe the visuals my brain conjures when I think of knowing what toys my neighbors are buying for use with their husbands.

seriously... I've MET these women's husbands. and while there is no way I want to be thinking of the bunco girls themselves naked.... I SURE as hell don't want to picture them doing it with their husbands. then to add an element of kink??? my eyes burn just thinking about it.

so no. I do not think I will be attending the party thursday night. I'll be bleaching my skin that night.

Doctor Says Sexsomnia (Sleep Sex) Is Real Disorder

New Scientist has cracked the sleep sex story once again, reporting on the effects sexsomnia has on intimate relationships. (If you, like me, are temporarily without bugmenot, just check the Reuters story, which is pretty close.)

It’s difficult to find much publicly available on the subject, but the next time you’re in the stacks at your local research institution (or you scam a login to one of these sites), here’s some places to start:

• Sexsomnia: a new parasomnia? This is the originating paper in the field. From the abstract: “Sexsomnia has some distinct features that separate it from sleepwalking. The automatic arousal is more prominent, motor activities are relatively restricted and specific, and some form of dream mentation is often present.”
• A phenomenology of problematic sexual behavior occurring in sleep. A more recent study drawn from Internet respondents. “Results suggest that sleep sex can elicit negative emotions and cognitions that may become a source of personal and relational distress. Clinician familiarity with problematic sleep sex may foster more effective communication with individuals presenting with such complaints.”
• You can also keep an eye on “sleep sex” studies, and sign yourself up at Sleepsex.org. Stanford ran this one in 2002, and found that “…symptoms [that] included loud, disruptive moaning on one end of the scale and sexual assault on the other. Regardless of how unusual or violent the behavior, patients had no memory of the events the next morning.”

Yes, sexual assault. One trend in the sexsomnia field is use the expert testimony of researchers to intervene in charges of sexual assault made against actual or alleged sufferers for the disorder. Wikipedia currently points to three different cases of rape charges being dropped when the assailant was shown to have sexsomnia. Of the three, however, one man was found guilty on appeal, and prosecutors are seeking a similar appeal in a second case.

What with how very little research goes into things sex, and the still-significant uphill battles rape survivors face in seeking legal redress, I think it’s safe to give decent pause at how the sleep sex field is developing, as, in the words of one sexsomniac, “Is this just a stipulation or a convenience [sic] excuse with men with a sex obsession?”

Panasonic ER421KC Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer, Wet/Dry, Lighted

Look and feel your best with Panasonic's impressive line of personal care devices. Groom unwanted hair from your nose and ears.

The Panasonic ER421KC Nose and Ear Trimmer comes equipped with a built-in, bright, focused light for precise and accurate grooming. You can keep your nose and ears clean and trim without worrying about navigating your nostrils and ear canals in the dark. Designed to be used in or out of the shower, this trimmer can be rinsed under a faucet for quick and easy cleaning. Wet or dry, your nose and ears will be groomed exactly how you like them.

The trimmer's stainless steel blades leave the proper amount and length of hairs to help ensure you still benefit from nature's design. Without some hair in your nose and ears, you increase your chances of inhaling irritants and contracting disease, but your grooming needs are worry free with the ER421KC. Panasonic has also designed this trimmer with a safety cone that guides hair into the blades and protects the skin from direct contact with the rotary trimming system.

To properly use your trimmer, turn it on and carefully insert the tip of the outer blade into your nostril or ear canal to trim the hairs. Do not insert the device deeper in your ears or nose than the narrow tip of the outer blade, and avoid applying pressure when using the trimmer because you could run the risk of damaging your skin. If used once a week and properly cleaned, the ER421KC blades should last approximately three years. To properly clean your trimmer, remove the outer blade frame by turning and raising it upward. Detach the inner blade from the outer blade, and wipe them off gently with a tissue to remove hairs, dust, and other debris. Be sure to that the switch is turned off before removing, mounting, or cleaning the blades.

The ER421KC is easy to clean because the whole unit can be washed in warm water. Be sure to wipe off any excess water and allow the blades to dry completely before mounting them back onto the trimmer body. Remounting the blades is a breeze -- simply place the inner blade back onto the outer blade, and then place the outer blade onto the body by pushing down gently and twisting clockwise.

Sony BCG-34HE4 Super-Quick Worldwide Battery Charger with 4 AA NiMH Batteries

Whether you're traveling abroad or making a domestic jaunt, Sony's BCG-34HE4 charger and battery combo is everything you'll need to keep your high-demand sex toys juiced up and ready for action. The compact, lightweight charger handles 4 AA and 4 AAA batteries simultaneously and just happens to come with 4 high-capacity (2500 mAh) rechargeable AA Ni-MH batteries.

The charger works with worldwide voltages: AC outlets ranging from 100 to 240 volts (50/60 Hz). For your safety and convenience, the charger offers alkaline battery detection (in case you accidentally load non-rechargeables) and automatic cut-off for excessive temperature and/or voltage.

It doesn't say so in the product description page here anywhere (and I can't even find this charger on the Sony website), so here you go: it takes about 4.5 hours to fully charge the four 2300mAh batteries that come with the charger. Which I kinda like--I like that it's not a dumb charger (timed charger w/o regard for existing charge or overcharge) like the cheaper Sony charger here (BCG-34HLD4), nor does it take inordinately long (some others I checked out take as long as 8-12 hours), but it's not a superfast 1-hour charger that super-heats up the batteries during the charge (and potentially reduce the battery service life).

The charger has the outlet plugs built-in, so there is no separate AC adapter. Be sure to keep the charger bay door open during charging to help dissipate the heat.

The batteries are Sanyo-brand ("HR" imprint on them) marketed under the Sony label.

What's in the Box
A charger, 4 AA rechargeable batteries, and a data sheet in a blister pack.

Product Description
Sony's worldwide reputation for creating unique, attractive, high-quality, advanced technology products rests on a long line of innovations embraced by people from all walks of life.

Cock Ring Best Practices

• Prep your gear. If you're using a stretchy O-ring like the ones found in the 4-ring Pack, you might want to increase its diameter by putting it over a shampoo bottle for a few hours. Masturbate or fantasize in order to perk up your penis, as cock rings are easier to put on if you're semi-erect.


• Lube up. Particulary if you're using a rubber or seamless O-ring, put some lube on your penis and balls, so the cock ring will slide on more comfortably.


• Location, location, location. Cock rings typically are worn around the base of the cock and the balls. You can just wear it on the shaft (and by all means experiment), but cock rings function the most effectively when secured around both the scrotum and cock.


• Put cock rings on when you're semi-erect. If you've got a solid cock ring, first pull the loose skin of your scrotum through, then drop one testicle through, then the other, and finally push your penis through. If you're using a strip of material that fastens, like the Velcro Leather Cock Ring, just gently lift your balls and fasten the strip around the penis and the balls, so it's resting between your genitals and the rest of your body.


• Masturbate. Once you’ve become accustomed to the sensations your cock ring creates, try masturbating. If your ring is the vibrating type, you can experiment with pointing the vibrating portion on your testicles for an extra buzz.


• Make a statement. Get into the fantasy surrounding your cock ring. Whether you're showing off a festive adornment as part of a striptease, wearing it under your clothes to show off your package, or telling your lover you're proud to be submissive by wearing a locking cock ring, play up the erotic potential of your toy.


• Cock rings are fun for silicone dicks, too! Strap a colorful or sexy leather ring on a dildo to dress it up.


• Share it with a friend. Vibrating cock rings like the Petal Ring and the Orbit Ring vibe were designed to offer female partners clitoral stimulation during intercourse. Position the vibrator near the top of your cock (or the dildo if you've got a strap-on) so that during intercourse it bumps up against her clitoris. Keep your body down parallel to hers and try slow, shallow thrusts to make sure she receives consistent contact with the vibrator. Or try it with her on top, moving in more of a grinding than up-and-down motion.


• Accessorize. Cock rings lend themselves well to other sex toy combinations. Try using a penis pump first and then applying a cock ring, or adding a butt plug to your masturbation session.


• Get it off. In general, it's best to take off your cock ring after about twenty minutes. Pay attention to the penis; it should never turn cold or go numb (clear signs you've had the cock ring on too long). To remove a solid O-ring style cock ring, you need to be only semi-erect so the ring is loose enough to feed your dick and balls back through. (Applying ice can help take down a stubborn erection.)

Worn to look hot and ready for sex, or just to feel good, cock rings can double your pleasure and create a sexy package—think of them as form and function in one!

How to Use Cock Ring Sex Toys

Many folks equate sex toys with vibrators, and vibrators with women. But men enjoy all kinds of sex toys (including vibrators) and one of the staples of their toybox is the cock ring. A great toy for solo or partner play, the cock ring (also known as a penis ring) is a strip of material or a continuous O-ring designed to restrict the blood from flowing out of the penis, which can prolong an erection.

Why wear a cock ring? Lots of reasons! They temporarily create more sensitive, intense and hard erections, and can even help some men delay ejaculation. (Of course, everybody is different, and not all men respond to cock rings the same way. For some, the intense senstions caused by the cock ring make them come faster.)

Will cock rings make your penis bigger? Sorry guys, but not in the long run. They may enlarge it temporarily, but repeated use of cock rings won't result in any permanent changes.

Pick a Style, Any Style
There are many kinds of cock rings, but if you're new to cock rings, you'll want to choose one that's adjustable and easy to remove.

• Cock rings that fasten. Basic leather or nylon cock rings are great for beginners because they're easy to put on and can be removed in (literally) a snap. Those with snaps, such as the 5-Snap Leather Cock Ring, can fit a bit more securely, while those with Velcro closures, such as the Velcro Leather Cock Ring, are very adjustable and especially easy to remove.


• Continuous, O-ring-style cock rings. The more inexpensive styles like the Rubber Stretch are made of rubber and are great for first-time users. They’re not size-specific (and despite their small size, they do stretch a lot), and they're not too difficult to get on. Some, like the Black Megastretch, are adorned with small nubs which can give some clitoral stimulation if worn during intercourse. O-rings made from solid metal (like the Aluminum cock ring) don't stretch, so you need to make sure you've got the right size before you're bursting at the (nonexistent) seams!


• Vibrating cock rings. These offer an extra buzz to the penis or testicles and are also great fun during partner sex. They're typically rings with a small vibrating attachment, like the translucent Diamond Ring vibe.


• Cock rings with fancy features. Experienced cock ring fans can delight in more complicated leather rings that include multiple straps, testicle separators, or weights, as well as rings made of inflexible materials like aluminum. Check out the Triple Threat Chrome Rings for an example. These can be very intense, and are more difficult to remove, so they’re not for novices.
