Blow your nose or ….?

By authori-ty • Jan 15th, 2007 • Category: Blog

Tis the season where everyone has the cold or flu or some nasty combo of both and of course in retail it is impossible not to be struck down by the retail plague. I swear GV has it’s own strain of the flu by now. Buckets of purell, emergen-c, tea, nothing can stop it. Anyway [...]



Something to be proud of

By Allison • Jan 12th, 2007 • Category: Blog

A few days ago I received a rather amazing email from one of my old college roomies. We have one of those friendships where we live far apart and don’t call or write as much as we should, but are very much aware that if one of us picked up the phone the other would [...]

Michael Rosen
I don’t think any artist can satisfactorily explain what compels him to do what he does. My photography has given me an entry into the lives of many people. That entry has allowed me to get an insight into how they conduct themselves on our cosmic [...]

Single Gay and Virgo How Do You Do It !!

By authori-ty • Jan 11th, 2007 • Category: Blog

Recently I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who had met someone while he was out; the chemistry was there so they decided to go back to my friends place. They were at his place and things were heating up and without the long (albeit funny) version they both realized they were [...]



Favorite Dessert

By Judi B. • Jan 10th, 2007 • Category: Erotica

by Kis Lee
Ray has big, rough, laborer hands, and he uses them to make the best vanilla crème brulee. After he slices the strawberries, he brings out his mini-blowtorch. He scorches the sugar topping into a golden brown crust.
I try to savor each bite, but the spoon moves too fast. Each bite is the perfect [...]



20 Years Later

By Judi B. • Jan 10th, 2007 • Category: View from the Top

by Judi B.

My high school 20-year reunion is coming up this summer. The reunion web site has started making its way around — you know, the one where people post pictures of their children (more so than themselves, what’s up with that?) and state their occupation and marital status.
I received the web site via email [...]



happy (and not so happy) answers.

By jameson • Jan 10th, 2007 • Category: Blog

1. Do you carry numbing cream?
No. If you can’t feel what’s going on, you could hurt yourself. And if something feels good, you’d never know because you’d be all numbed out. For pain free anal sex, check out the Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women, and for Men. [...]



Mommy’s little helper!

By Chick • Jan 8th, 2007 • Category: Blog

My three-year-old is so helpful. she helps me carry in the groceries. She brings her plate into the kitchen when she’s through eating. She helped me load the laundry into the washer last night (Sunday)…. So very useful!
Speaking of Sunday, how nice was it to get together with the world’s cutest families for a little [...]



small and funny.

By jameson • Jan 8th, 2007 • Category: Blog

Yesterday I kicked out two teenage boys that wandered into the store.
“Are you two over 18?”
Teenager #1: Uh, yeah.
#2: (silence)
“Can I see your ID’s?”
#1: Uh, well….(voice trails off as he stares at the product on the walls)
#2: I’m 16.
“You guys can’t be in here if you’re not 18. I need to ask [...]

Do you really pray for George Bush’s daughters to turn into lesbians?

By Judi B. • Jan 4th, 2007 • Category: Sex and Culture

by jameson
“Do you really pray for George Bush’s daughters to turn into lesbians?”Christmas 2006 — required holiday phone call to my father. This was the first sentence of the conversation that didn’t involve some sort of “Merry Christmas!” or “How’s work?” I had called him while walking the dog with my girlfriend, and his words [...]

We’re happy to welcome local writer and performer Daphne Gottlieb as GV Weekly’s first Featured Writer for 2007. Look for more articles by Daphne in upcoming weeks.

animal planet gone wrong.

By jameson • Jan 3rd, 2007 • Category: Blog

Another take on the g-shot and other like procedures:
Last night my girlfriend and I watched too many hours of Animal Planet. On commercial breaks, we’d try to do lazy housework, like taking down christmas decorations and unstringing lights. After one commercial break was over, she continued the christmas light removal, and I sat [...]



The Porn Star was Bound… and Gagged - Madison Young

By Judi B. • Jan 3rd, 2007 • Category: Porn Star XXXposure, View from the Top

About a month ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to the press screening of Superfreak, the new film by the maker’s of the popular The Crash Pad. The film’s premise is that the ghost of Rick James joins an all-girl party, and the opening scene stars Madison Bound (and co-stars a glass wand)… [...]



Age Play

By Daphne Gottlieb • Jan 3rd, 2007 • Category: Be Our Guest

“I am horrified to be aging, to be entering middle age. I care about my youthful appearance and my sexual desirability, much of which I attribute to my looks. My feminism, I had hoped, would protect me from caring about such things; I would stride up to middle age proudly. But it is not proving [...]

I just got tagged with this book-related internet game, and found it

The Porn Star’s Day Job - Syd

By Judi B. • Jan 2nd, 2007 • Category: Porn Star XXXposure, View from the Top

When you’re watching an adult flick and your co-worker is one of the stars… yeah, it can be a little strange. But, it’s also pretty interesting, as most folks don’t have the opportunity to ask a bona-fide porn star questions like “what it’s like to have sex with 10 people watching you?”
My co-worker, let’s call [...]



How to Spank

By Judi B. • Jan 1st, 2007 • Category: How-Tos

from Good Vibrations’ Sexual Health and Product Info Pages:
Lots of people enjoy spanking; giving or receiving (or both), and there are many different ways you can do it. For some, spanking can be part of a fantasy or role play, while for others, it can be purely for sensation. You can spank someone as a [...]

from Good Vibrations’ Sexual Health/Product Info section:
How to Go Down on a Woman
Oral sex, going down on a woman, or cunnilingus (derived from the Latin words cunnus, meaning “vulva”, and lingere, meaning “to lick”), is a wonderful act that two people can share. When fully appreciated and recognized it can mean to admire, [...]

About Battery Vibrators

By Judi B. • Jan 1st, 2007 • Category: Product Info

From Good Vibrations’ Sexual Health and Product Info section:
Battery vibrators offer many advantages: they are inexpensive, portable and create gentle vibrations (which are popular with those people who find plug-in vibrators overwhelming). We do caution customers that some batterys’ lifespans can be unpredictable, ranging anywhere from a week to several years. For this reason, we [...]



Heating it Up: Tips for Setting the Mood

By Judi B. • Jan 1st, 2007 • Category: Guides

From Good Vibrations’ Sexual Health/Product Info section:

Romance is indeed a fickle thing. Between work, school, family obligations, hobbies, and even can’t-miss TV shows, it often gets put on the back burner of a busy week. When you find yourself feeling (or notice your partner feeling) bogged down by the everyday, you can use it as [...]



What is an Orgasm?

By Judi B. • Jan 1st, 2007 • Category: Guides

Most of us have heard stories of thunder claps, crashing waves, quaking thighs and multiple orgasms, leaving some of us to wonder: what am I missing? The first step to understanding your own pleasure is to not compare yourself to other people or your perception of what everyone else is doing. An orgasmic experience is [...]
