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.

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.

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.
