The Best Vibrator of 2008. And ‘09 for that matter…
So, when you ask us this question, “What’s the best?”, a lot of the time we may not answer it in the way you like. We can’t. That would just be straight up dishonest. And we hate lying. We’re not being rude when we ask you what it is you’re looking for in a toy, we’re just trying to make sure you end up with the best for you and not the imaginary best.

A Good Vibes Christmas»Beside the reservoir that is next to the ocean in Newport Rhode Island there is a house. There is nothing exceptional about this house. But every Christmas season it becomes a destination for parents and their children. Standing on the beach you can see its lights burning bright.
CHAMPION: Love Hurts»An interview with Syd Blakovich, star of Pink & White Production’s explicit love story CHAMPION…”some might say that it is problematic to use porn as a platform for social awareness, but I firmly back Shine’s vision and belief that is is essential for queer, females of color to seize the power of image making, especially when it is about our bodies.
Yoga Bodies»This is a short piece. It’s a rant of sorts. I’m going to be a bit of a hater.

Mates»I’d been going out with Matt for about three months. I’ve always found monogamy a bit of a challenge but when it came to satisfying my sexual needs Matt was doing pretty well. We’d met at a Salsa class – I love dancing – and we just kind of clicked the first time [...]
Giving Thanks»Thanksgiving has a great deal in common with crying in bed.
I am actually thinking of the origins of our Thanksgiving tale, those silly Pilgrims, that barren New England soil, frigid winter, and the kind Wampanoags who came to share, much to their later chagrin.
To be more specific than crying in bed I am thinking of [...]
The Rocker»It’s a snowy evening; big, soft flakes coming down. A fire is in the fireplace. It’s cozy and warm. Supper is finished; my partner is working on yet another business project. I’m sitting in my Grandma’s rocker, reading a book, and feeling the comfort that sitting in a chair over a 100’s year old can bring. Touching the wooden arms periodically wondering what they have seen and heard through the years.
Proposition 8 1/2»It finally happened. It took a two-year courtship and multiple proposals but last week Barack Obama asked us to marry him and we, the people said yes. Congratulations, we’re engaged.

do yoga, have better sex»
From MSNBC.com
It seems that people who engage in mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga have better sex.

Although this is very preliminary research, it seems that these practices help you [...]
Forbes, Censorship and Shopping Guides»
A coworker recently passed on this Forbes article about the recession and the adult industry.
Reading this article was interesting to me – not just for the obvious I-work-in-the-adult-industry reason but also for the companies they included… Walgreens… Walmart.
Walmart? I have had the luck to only shop at Walmart once… in a small town in southern [...]

Just One More Reason To Love April Flores»
It’s not like I needed another one, honestly, as every interaction I’ve had with April Flores (GV’s April Flores Videos) has been a pleasure and in addition to be gorgeous April is a genuinely lovely person to spend time with. But that isn’t the reason I love her today. Today I love April Flores for being the model for the first plus-sized realistic masturbation doll. There have been plenty of gag gifts featuring larger ladies but nothing done in a manner that could come close to being sex positive and body positive.
