Happy Halloween Ladies!
What better way to celebrate Halloween than by dressing up your sextoys. I mean, I put more thought into my costume, than I did my career. I think a girl's best friend deserves the same attention.
Check out more other great images here!

Lesbian Worms -- yeah, you read it right.
Finally some news on the sexual orientation front that doesn't have to do with marriage or killing us all off. Score!
Using genetic manipulation, U.S. scientists altered the brains of nematode worms, causing them to become attracted to wrigglers of the same sex.
While the scientists can't say what this means for sexual orientation in humans, it does raise the possibility that sexual preference is wired in an organism's brain.
Biologist Erik Jorgensen and his research team at the University of Utah took female nematodes with normal reproductive organs and activated genes that determine "maleness," thereby converting female brains to male brains."
So we did that and now the females are attracted to other females," Jorgensen said from Salt Lake City. "That told us that the brain was sufficient for all of the sex-specific behaviours, for sexual attraction."
In other words, co-author Jamie White, a postdoctoral researcher in Jorgensen's lab, said in a statement: "They look like girls, but act and think like boys. The (same-sex behaviour) is part of the nervous system."
Nematodes, or C. elegans, are millimetre-long worms that live in soil and eat bacteria. Many of the same genes found in nematodes are also found in other animals - including people - making them a good model for human research.
To read the rest, click here.
This is a little scary though. I can just see some crazy politician trying to push legislation to have all us gays rewired straight. Plus, it brings up all sorts of questions about what defines gender and what this means for the biology vs. choice debate surrounding homosexuality. Interesting stuff. Well, at least the most interesting worm news I've heard in a while.

Best Lesbian Bondage Erotica
Ever since I saw Tristan Taormino’s first feature film, Chemistry, I’ve kind of been in love with her. When I discovered that she had edited a compilation of erotica dedicated to lesbian bondage stories, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.
In this collection from Cleis Press, seasoned authors explore the pleasure (and pain) of the multifaceted world of bondage in nineteen brazen tales.
My favorite was Michele Serchuk’s “Leash”, a passionate tale of a couple’s first experience with bondage and exhibitionism. Serchuk’s narrator is both vulnerable and empowering as she leads you through a world of doubt and desire.
From tales of dark dungeons to playful pieces about light bondage, you’ll find it all in this captivating collection from one our generation’s greatest sexperts!
-The Porn Librarian
Add this excellent book to your collection!

Female Condom, Version 2.0
Finally addressing some of the major barriers of using the female condom (including the noise issue), The Female Heath Company (makers of the original female condom) just released a new version, FC2, for testing. Cheaper and less noisy… looks like a good sign.
A better female condom is on its way to the public, hopefully eliminating some of the barriers to the wider use of this form of contraception.
The newest female condom, FC2, was promoted as the second generation of the original female condom, FC1. Examples of FC1 include Femidom, FC female condom, Bliss, or Reality.
Although similar in structure and size to the first female condom, this one would be made of Nitrile Polymer rather than polyurethane. The difference represents a 25 percent savings in production costs and this material is intended to be less noisy than the polyurethane during intercourse, but the same in feel.
Advantages remain the same such as being non allergic, resistant to oils and lubricants, warming quickly and providing the same level of protection from pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
FC2 is still in the testing stages, but has been recommended by the World Health Organisation as being equivalent to FC1 and has already been given regulatory approvals in Europe, India, Brazil.
Check out the whole story here.

Fukuoku Power Pack
I'll admit that I was a little wary of the Fukuoku Power Pack when I first pulled it out of the packaging. A bright pink robo-hand with wires sprouting out of it… intimidating, to say the least. But once I got over my initial cyber-punk trepidation, this battery-operated power pack with three mini finger-covering vibes turned out to be a good time.
Three finger vibes were a little too much going on for me, so I took advantage of the fact that the finger parts plug in separately and the toy does not need all three attached to function. With only one finger vibe wired up, it was much easier to manage.
My favorite thing about this toy was the fact that I could still use the pressure from my fingers while wearing the vibrating pieces. I don't think the toy would have been as much fun if I was only relying on the vibrations themselves. Being able to incorporate the usual pressure from using fingers for clit stimulation was what sealed the deal.
But don't let that make you think that the vibrations were weak or anything. Nope--mini or not, those little vibes pack a very strong punch. Fortunately, the controller is a wheel that lets you vary speeds in increments.
Plus, each finger piece comes with removable latex cover with a different texture pattern on the clit-stimulating surface. I think I chose the one shaped like a bulls eye (other two were nubs and ribs). This definitely added a little extra stimulating thrill to the mix.
But with a few pros usually comes a few cons. First off, the power source. About twice the size of a watch, this battery-operated power pack straps onto your wrist by an elastic/Velcro band. Not a bad idea, but in reality it wasn't so hot. Not only was the Velcro itchy on my arm, the strap was too tight and cut off the circulation to my wrist. Not so helpful when you're trying to get off using the hand that's attached to said wrist. Also, the wires were got a little bit in the way, with the feeling of wires touching my fingers distracting me.
All in all, I think the Fukuoku Power Packis a little cumbersome and clunky when it comes to the battery pack, but those liitle finger vibes are nimble and perfect for enhancing plain finger stimulation any day. It gets my thumbs up... my other fingers are busy.
Also check out the Fukuoku 9000, which is the finger vibe, sans battery pack and wires.

Breastfeeding: The New Spanish Fly?
For decades breast milk has been known to be one of the healthiest ways to nourish a child. Aside from basic nutrition, breastfeeding's many benefits included the passage of natural antibodies and the right amount of minerals and amino acids that are critical for brain and nerve development, decreased likelihood of ovarian and breast cancers in the mother, and creating an increased bond between mother and child.As well as the whole good for baby, good for mom, natural healthy process thing, apparently breastfeeding has the ability to get people going sexual… and not in a lactation fetish way. Who knew?
It is widely thought to give a baby the best start in life.
But breastfeeding may have another, more unexpected, benefit.
Smells associated with breastfeeding are a natural aphrodisiac, heightening sexual desire in other women, a study has found.
Researchers discovered exposure to the subtle odours produced by breastfeeding mothers and their babies can raise libido by almost 50 per cent.
Speaking at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine's annual conference in Washington, the psychologists behind the study said they believe the smells - known as pheromones - act as a signal, telling a woman it is time to try for a baby.
They hope to use these chemicals to develop treatments to help women who suffer from a low sex drive.
The researchers from the University of Chicago looked at how the smell of sweat collected from the breast and armpits of nursing mothers affected a group of young women.

Magic Wand Controller
To those who may be unfamiliar, the Hitachi Magic Wand is amazing. It is the most unbelievably intense thing created on this Earth. My only complaint is that it's so damn intense! There are only 2 speeds, and the low speed is higher than any other vibrator on max setting, which isn't exactly a get-you-started vibration, you've got to work up to it.
Enter the geniuses at Extreme Restraints, who now offer a Magic Wand Controller. Plug your wand into the controller, plug the controller into the wall (fyi, it's a 3-pronged plug, so be prepared, I wasn't!) and release the true "magic" of the wand. Seriously, such a simple addition, yet so amazing. Set the switch on the controller to "VAR," start low and work your way high. And by low, this is lower than the wand's "low" setting, so if that's too much for you (which it can be for me), this is awesome. Plus, even just having the dial option to adjust speeds to YOUR liking, not a preset jump to higher or lower. I could see using this on someone else (or me!), teasing with the adjustable settings without giving a heart attack by abruptly jumping from "low speed" to "high speed." (FYI, I have never attempted the Magic Wand's high speed. I fear spontaneous combustion and seizures.)
This is definitely a must-have if you already own or are planning to purchase a Magic Wand. This controller truly unlocks the pleasure potential of the Magic Wand, you'll be extravagantly pleased you did.
A true necessity - get the Magic Wand Controller here!
(While you're at it, check out some of their Magic Wand Accessories, these could add yet another whole new world for this one toy!)

It’s All About the Shoes
Ok, so I stole from Jamye Waxman… well, sort of. In her recent interview with HotMoviesForHer.com, Jamye mentioned researching a new pair of platform sandals equipped with GPS software that are designed to help protect sex worker from becoming victims of attack and abuse. And I just had to check them out for myself. Wow. What an awesome idea!
These shoes are certainly not going to compete with the likes of Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik in the fashion stakes, but could they be a safety boost for women? With an inbuilt GPS, an audible alarm system and storage for your valuables the Platform 001 sandals could definitely be beneficial in protecting against muggings or to locate ladies in the case of emergency.
Specifically aimed at sex workers the shoes are the brainchild of the Aphrodite Project in response to an ever growing number of attacks against women in the industry. The shoe - aptly named The Platform 001 - was inspired by the prostitutes of ancient Greece and Rome, who enticed clients with their flutes and sandals that left 'follow me' footprints in the earth.
The Platform will act as a practical tool for the contemporary sex worker. "Our shoes use the latest technology to bring sex workers on par with other public workers, whose lives are valued highly because they work in dangerous professions that serve the needs of the community," said the Aphrodite Project Team.
Functionality of the Platform shoe includes a 3.5 inch LCD monitor with audio and text overlay for promotion to clients whilst safety features include an audible alarm, secure storage compartments and a panic button connected to monitored GPS tracking for use in case of an emergency. The design does raise some safety concerns since they are being promoted as a "safety shoe" with secret storage, potential attackers could become familiar with the design and specifically target those with the shoes thinking them to be carrying valuables. Further, the clumsiness of the shoe could pose a problem in a situation whereby the wearer needed to run at any great speed.
Whether they prove to be more of help or hindrance the shoes are an undeniably modern solution to age old problems of the world's oldest professional.
Sure, this brings a little component of big brother into the mix. If sex workers can be tracked via GPS for "their own safety," why can the government/police track them down to regulate/arrest them? I suppose the real question is: are you willing to put up with a little "keeping tabs" for the peace of mind that comes with added security? Plus, the Aphrodite Project's website offers other benefits to using their sandals:
- With the press of a button, you can send an emergency signal to sex workers rights groups and/or the police with your location.
- This helps to eliminate the "consensual" argument - if it was consensual, you wouldn't have pressed the emergency button.
- Sending the signal to sex workers rights groups allows them to monitor the police.
- If the police don't show up, both you and the sex workers rights group have a record of your call, and police negligence.
- You choose who gets to see the signal and who doesn't, and you can turn the tracking off at any time.
- It's not just for help -- you can also use the GPS system to locate your friends and co-workers.
Check out the full original article at Gizmag.com or stop by the Aphrodite Project website.
Totally interesting technology. I hope to hear more about it as time goes on.

FWILF
Farmer's Wife I'd Like to Fuck? Sure.
In an attempt to break stereotypes, six farmer's wives (and 12 farmers) from western France are dropping trough and posing nude for a charity calendar, all because they are "fed up to the backteeth with being taken for a load of bumpkins."
"Just because you're a farmer's wife doesn't mean you're a farmer. Of the six women who are on display, there's a vet, some nurses and a beauty-parlour manager," said Patrice Boinot, a 35-year-old cattle farmer.
"This has allowed us to get rid of certain prejudices which some people still have about farmers' wives," said photographer Daniel Mar.
Article originally posted on Agence France-Presse.
This is a great idea and they really do have a point. Yeah, it's totally stereotyping, but whenever I picture a farmer's wife, she's always a farmer... and usually dressed in farm clothes. And I always condone getting naked to prove a point. So, nice work ladies and gents! Merci les épouses du fermier!

Brings a Whole New Meaning to Scent of a Woman
The Hot Movies blog (shameless plug) wrote about this the other day and I was so curious that needed to check it out for my self. You know how sometimes you can't figure out if something is a joke or not? Well, I'm stumped. It seriously looks like a joke, but for some reason, I don't think that it is.
Vulva Original. Apparently someone somewhere wants to smell like a vagina… a fake vagina… on their hand. Sure, the smell of sex is hot. And yeah, smelling vagina on your hands after having them in one is a good time. But I don't know if I could get down with putting a drop of fake vagina on the back of my hand and rubbing it in. From the website, it supposedly "immediately intensifies your erotic fantasies and starts the film rolling in your head…" Tag Line: Breathe in and enjoy, anytime, anywhere, the odour of a beautiful woman.
Alright, I really do get why this would be hot. The concept at least, if not the actual product. What creeps me out is the repeated warnings of only using a drop. Seriously - only. a. drop. The website says that Vulva Original is very concentrated and kinda makes it seem like it could be fairly iffy to apply in gobs. And there are all these notes to not drink it. Or introduce it into any body orifice or have it come in contact with any mucous membrane. Ew. Who's drinking this stuff? (Though someone probably did, hence the warning.)
Anyway, just my opinion of course. But still, it's a little fishy… and no, no gross vagina pun intended here. So, joke or not, the true question is: what's the deal? Does this product actually do anything? And is anyone buying it?
If anyone has tried it or smelled it or anything, comment back! I'm so curious to know more!
