Devil's Ride Star Shoots Sex Tape with 3 Chicks The star of the reality hit "The Devils Ride" is riding more than motorcycles ... because we've learned he banged 3 girls at once on video and the sex tape is now being shopped. Chris Boultinghouse -- who goes by White Boi on the show -- is seen in all his glory ... doing 3 chicks as they're watching a sex tape featuring 3 other people. It appears the tape was shot on a budget, because at times one of the women is shooting with the camera in the apartment. Several major porn companies are deciding whether they want to release it. Based on what we saw ... we're guessing there will be no problem getting sign-offs from all involved. Oh, another nice touch -- in the video you see a 24 ounce Pabst Blue Ribbon can in the background. Cold beer and orgies.

Maple Ridge should brace for brothels MAPLE RIDGE-PITT MEADOWS TIMES DECEMBER 28, 2013 11:02 AM Looking back on the year, our Prime Minister Stephen Harper has not had a good one. Apparently, the RCMP have determined more than a dozen of his senior staff members were involved in a conspiracy to offer a bribe to ex-broadcaster and now Senator Mike Duffy – reportedly to pay back the money that he questionably took. Strange, strange indeed. The Supreme Court of Canada gave our prime minister a Christmas present. Unanimously, the Supreme Court, including Harper’s recent appointees, gave Parliament a year to write a “prostitution law” that doesn’t endanger women. And across the country there is a myriad of opinions about what to do. The Toronto Star editorials dismiss the idea of criminalizing the buying and selling of sex as “unenforceable, ineffective, and unwise.” Instead, they suggested, “allow sex workers to operate out of brothels or homes where they can protect themselves.” The Calgary Herald editorials charged the Supreme Court with “naivete” in suggesting the law ought not to punish the “legitimate drivers, managers, or body guards” in the sex trade. They claim that, “Prostitutes do not dutifully trot out to their accountants to get their taxes done each year.” Calgary wants prostitution itself criminalized. Sun reporter Daphne Bramhan responded: “That’s the preferred option for many who view prostitution as just another form of violence against women.” Barbara Kay, writing for the National Post, argues that “prostitutes are not, by and large, happy hookers, but victims who need help to escape their bondage.” Sweden and Norway have changed the laws so the laws make it illegal for a man to pay for sex. Postmedia’s Andrew Coyne was quoted as saying: “Parliament decreed in Section 7 of the Charter of Rights that any law that threatened the ‘life, liberty, or security of the person’ was of no force or effect. The Supreme Court had to strike down the laws that threatens all three.” Coyne suggested a licensing and regulations model might be more workable than criminalization. It will be very interesting to see how Parliament deals with the task of writing the prostitution law in 352 days, give or take. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how municipalities – including ours – and the provincial government deal with brothels that are going to open. Dennis Hof, who owns the Bunny Ranch in Nevada, where prostitution is legal, is already contemplating opening a chain of brothels in Canada. So as we look forward to 2014, Maple Ridge has decided it is going to become a city. Wouldn’t it be ironic if one of its first actions was to allow a brothel in the 203rd Street neighbourhood, which they have designated for businesses like “that.” Just saying…
and from Scotland Proof that legal brothels DO decrease streetwalking ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sex workers leaving streets to work in North-east brothels written by Ed Earl of the Evening Express (Aberdeen, Scotland) THE number of sex workers on North-east streets has fallen in the past five years due to an increase in brothels, it was claimed today. There has reportedly been a rise in the number of workers operating “off-street”, for example at brothels based in flats and using the internet to arrange meetings with customers. The claims were made after it was revealed fewer than 30 sex workers have used an Aberdeen-based drug and alcohol service in the past year – a large drop compared to more than 100 five years ago. Drugs Action, based on Hadden Street, Aberdeen has been working with the region’s sex industry to assist “vulnerable workers”. Chief executive of Drugs Action, Luan Grugeon said: “Police intelligence indicated there is a large and growing number of women working off-street who visit Aberdeen to work in the sex industry. “Very little is known about these women as they have been reluctant to come forward for help.” Ms Grugeon, said prostitution was now more “hidden”, with women facing greater danger as a result.
Chinese Pres, Xi Jinping Makes Surprise Visit to Local Broth BEIJING — Just days after his unexpected visit to a Beijing steamed bun shop, Chinese President Xi Jinping made an unannounced visit Sunday evening to a local brothel in the western part of the city where he paid 50 RMB for oral sex. Luo Xiaofeng, the owner of the massage-parlor-cum-sex-den, said that the visit was completely unplanned and that the plainly dressed president arrived alone, without a security detail. “He was very low-key,” said Luo. “Like it wasn’t a big deal.” One patron present at the time said he was struck by Xi’s simple demeanor. “He was flirting with the girls, haggling over the price of a blow job and seeing if he could get some rimming pro bono,” the man said. “He’s truly is just a regular guy.” The owner Luo offered a similar assessment. “He could have gone to a classy KTV joint and ordered a dozen girls, or called an escort like the rest of the Standing Committee,” Luo said. “But he chose to get his pipe polished at a seedy massage parlor. My seedy massage parlor.” According to eyewitnesses, the Chinese president remained calm even when the local police burst in to raid the establishment. “As they were throwing me to the ground, Xi comes out, pants around his ankles, and walks right up to the chengguan,” said Luo. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” “I got this,” Xi was reported to have said. “I thought it was all over,” admitted Luo. “But the guy smooth talks his way out of an arrest and persuades the cops to keep my place open.” Sources say that after the police left, Xi calmly went back to his room and finished his business. On Monday, news of Xi’s visit exploded after pictures from his trip found their way onto the Internet. Though The New York Times has called the incident “a cynical ploy to cement Xi’s everyman image,” Chinese state media has been effusive in its coverage. “Xi Jinping has subverted the image of the traditional Chinese politician who only engages in sexual acts with his wife,” read one Xinhua special report. “By getting a hummer in a massage parlor like millions of desperate Chinese men, Xi is ushering in a new era of populist Chinese politics.” News of the visit traveled quickly and by Monday evening, hundreds of people had lined up in front of Luo’s shop. “Business is booming,” said an ecstatic Luo. “In fact, I’ve christened a new service: the 50 kuai blow job with a little rimming pro bono.” “I call it ‘The Xi.’”
This last story about President Xi Jinping of China visiting a brothel was a parody of a real news story about him visiting a local dumpling shop and buying his own steamed buns. Made for a good story though!

2013 Looking Back: The Best Movie Sex of the Year By Sounak Mukhopadhyay "The difference between pornography and erotica is lighting." This was according to Gloria Leonard. It is not an easy thing to depict sex artistically in a movie, especially when there is a very thin line determining what is subtle and gross. Zimbio made a list of 2013 movies which depicted sex in the best way possible. Here are some of those. Blue Is the Warmest Color Often touted as the most erotic movie ever made, this movie is about the sexual tension between Adéle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux. There is a 7-minute sex scene which has become both controversial and iconic. Both the actresses admitted that they did feel "manipulated" while shooting for the intimate scenes. Real-life lesbian couples scrutinized the "positions" in the film but ended up not being impressed. However, the on-screen depiction impressed quite a lot of people. The Spectacular Now This is a story of a shy young girl and a teenage alcoholic. Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller create the on-screen chemistry and end up having sex in a typical adolescent bedroom. The scene is not even close to a graphic one as there is hardly any nudity shown. On the contrary, the end product happens to be extremely intimate. Spring Breakers The most revealing sex scene of 2013 is from this movie where Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson appeared to get involved in a graphic act after a drug dealer wants to impress them with his guns, clothes and money. However, the girls catch hold of his gun and point it on him. There is hardly any real sex depicted here but the group of three grope one another and make a convincing act. The Wolf of Wall Street This movie promoted the objectification of women. Legendary Filmmaker Martin Scorsese made Leonardo DiCaprio throw a pile of cash on Margot Robbie when she refuses to have sex with him. Lovelace Linda Lovelace, the later porn star, is depicted in the movie as Amanda Seyfried played her character. The movie throws light on how sex is seen in the media. It shows the emptiness of sexual activities involved in popular media. Behind the Candelabra Michael Douglas and Matt Damon in the sex scene is the charm of the movie. The story shows the commitment of the couple along with their thought process. It also asks questions about the truth behind their real feelings. Her Many demand that Scarlett Johansson should have an Oscar merely for her voice in this movie. No wonder Joaquin Phoenix is in love with her artificial intelligence. The main attraction of the story is how the relation between a man and a female voice gets sexual in nature.
Bat Sex bizarreness: Four years ago, we learned that female fruit bats engaged in oral sex to prolong the reproductive act. This year scientists reported that male bats reciprocate. And if that's not kinky enough for you, researchers also determined that bat tongues have erectile tissue. It may sound as if those researchers have a bat fetish, but their interest isn't merely prurient: The structure of those tricky tongues could someday be adapted to create softer, more flexible surgical tools. Oh, myyy!
Sex Toys Are Getting Smarter The new movie Her imagines the future of sex with its romance between a man and his operating system. We may not be falling in love with artificial intelligences any time soon, but a new crop of twenty-first century sex toys could turn your next hookup into something like a videogame. The Sydney Morning Herald takes a look at the future of sex with vibrators like the Limon are reaching new levels of innovation — with USB charging and a minimalist functionality that remembers how you like to get things done. And some sex toys like the Real Touch will supposedly help you get each other off over the Internet with the help of some special equipment and a webcam. Even well-known names like Durex are getting in the game with inventions like their Fundawear. This unisex pair of underpants has vibrating nodes that you can activate over your iPhone, because yes — there's even an app for that. As for whether or not you'll ever be able to have a romantic relationship with an AI, you only have to look at video games to see how close we are to that reality. Games like Love Plus give you a virtual girlfriend, and one man in Japan even married a character from the game back in 2009. Maybe Her isn't that far off after all.
Re: Sex Toys Are Getting Smarter I was just talking to Jade about the Real Touch. I listen to Dan Savage's Savage Love Cast and they were talking about it on there. It's pretty awesome! Nothing like a guy coming here of course, but the next closest thing!
Rapper 50 Cent Posted Sex Video Online Rapper 50 Cent could be on the hook for posting the video of a woman having sex without her permission — a move he made as part of a 'rap war' with her ex-lover and his rival, Rick Ross. A Manhattan judge Thursday refused the rapper's motion to dismiss the case. Lastonia Leviston sued 50 Cent, aka Curtis James Jackson III, in 2010 for emotional distress after he posted a video of her having sex with Maurice Murray. According to court papers, Murray brought the tape in 2009 to 50 Cent who recognized Leviston as the mother of Ross' child. At the time, 50 Cent and Ross were in a rap war where Ross had labeled 50 Cent as “Curly.” In a sworn deposition, 50 Cent said that he altered the tape by injecting himself into it in a spontaneous, unrehearsed move where he played the role of “Pimpin Curly” to “mock” Ross. Murray's face was blurred but Leviston's was not. She sued, claiming mental and emotional distress, after the edited video went online and got 3.2 million hits. Jackson denied in his deposition that he was responsible for posting the video. A judge said there was enough evidence for a jury to determine the merits of Leviston's claims for mental and emotional distress.
Good read: Sex-trapolation in the Latest Brain Science Remember that woman brain versus male brain research that got so much attention? Neuroskeptic was one of the firsts to have questions about it, but a lot of other negative reactions came, while many people thought it sounded plausible. One of the best reviews of the actual research was posted by prof Lise Eliot on The Huftington Post. An excerpt: “To be precise – and isn’t that the point of scientific research? — the statistics in this study show that the average 15-year old boy has larger intra-hemispheric (“blue”) connections than about two-thirds of girls, meaning the same connections in the average girl are actually larger than in one-third of boys. And vice-versa for the “orange” connections. More importantly, the differences change over time. What the BBC and Wall St. Journal presented as permanent differences between men and women are probably just a snapshot of mid-adolescence. Dr. Verma and colleagues actually found less sex difference in the oldest group (17-22 years old), probably because boys are catching up to girls in brain development at this time.” Besides analyzing the actual research, Eliot also examines the ‘Fifty shades of spin’, how did the story became so big and distorted? “How can the same science journalists who are breathlessly reporting on our amazing, plastic brains, suddenly overlook the role that learning plays in boys’ and girls’ brain development? What about all those countless hours boys spend playing action-packed video games while girls are busy gossiping on Facebook? When it comes to sex differences, science journalists turn all caveman on us and automatically assume that brain wiring differences must be pre-programmed into our X and Y chromosomes.”

Pizza Delivery Boy Screws The Pooch Twenty-two-year old Joshua Webicki of Palm Bay, Fla. was caught having sex with the family dog by a surveillance system put in by his own family. According to the police report, “the family had noticed the German shepherd mix showing signs of physical injury and was fearful when approached by family members, so they installed a video system.” Perhaps they thought their dog was being tormented by evil spirits in some twisted version of “Paranormal Activity,” but when they reviewed the tapes they discovered something much more shocking: Webicki performing sex acts on the dog. Webicki has been charged with animal cruelty and sexual acts involving animals after being arrested at his job, working as a delivery driver at the Minton Road branch of Pappa John’s in West Melbourne, Fla.

Sin: Its all about Sex and Cream Cakes By Emily Gosden The word “sin” now makes people think of “sex and cream cakes”, according to one of the architects of Church of England plans that could see the word scrapped from key parts of baptism services. The Church has been accused of "dumbing down" after trialling a new wording for christenings in which parents and godparents are no longer asked to “repent of their sins” and “reject the devil”. The new wording was drawn up after a request from a group of clergyman from Liverpool, who wanted the service to be made easier to understand. The group included the Rev Dr Tim Stratford, who has since become the Archdeacon of Leicester and is also a member of the Church’s 19-strong Liturgical Commission, which drew up the new wording. The Archdeacon told the Telegraph: “I think there are questions over how the word ‘sin’ is received. There are two ways it crosses people’s mind instantly: one way is, it’s all about sex. The other way is, it’s all about cream cakes and eating less.
7 Sexual New Year' Resolutions for a Better Sex Life 7 New Year resolutions you must make for a better sex life as your sex life on life support last year? Get it pumping with these resolutions. Great relationships don’t happen by magic. People who enjoy a vibrant, loving life with their partner put effort into making their rwelationship work. Yes, they work at their sex life, too! Based on my experience as a sex therapist, here are seven resolutions that can help you enjoy a better sex life next year. 1. Be more affectionate. Both men and women have expressed to me a wish that their partner was more affectionate. Kisses and hugs to say hello and good-bye, cuddling up on the sofa to watch TV, or holding hands while on a walk are so easy to do mean so much. Be generous with loving touch, and watch your partner glow. There’s even some research that suggests cuddling increases testosterone. 2. Look for opportunities to have sex. Some people seem to look for opportunities to turn sex down. Instead, be on the alert for windows of time when you will have some time and privacy for love-making. 3. Get in sync. There is something to be said for having similar rhythms in your lives. Go to bed and wake up together. Share meals. Exercise at the same time. You’ll be more in tune with each others needs, wants, and moods, and you’ll feel more intimate. 4. Try new things. Both in and out of the bedroom. In the bedroom, try new toys, new lube, new positions, new erotica, new role plays, new music, new fragrance, new bedding. Doing new things in the bedroom shows sexual interest and rouses the brain. Doing new things out of the bedroom like cooking a new recipe together or visiting a new part of town also perks up the brain and makes the prospect of sex more fun. 5. Exercise. Eat Right. Get sleep. You’d better believe that your overall health has an effect on your sexual health. If you’re “too tired for sex,” maybe it means you need to do something to increase your energy. Get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise, eat a heart healthy diet, and aim for 8 hours of sleep every night and watch your drive swing into gear. 6. Put your relationship first. Your job isn’t going to bring you a bowl of chicken soup when you’re sick. Your kids are going to grow up and move on. In the end, it’s the person who loves you who will be there when you need support. Examine your work hours. Are they intruding into the rest of your life? The kids: are you living for them? When you make decisions about how you will spend your time and your emotional energy, put your lover first, and everything else will fall into place. 7. Listen. I think we all spend more time thinking about what we want to say and not enough time listening. When your partner gives you feedback, don’t get defensive. Listen and reflect, then respond. You might learn something about yourself and your partner. This goes for feedback about sex. If your partner says she feels hurt or rejected, don’t come up with reasons that she shouldn’t. Listen, and examine yourself. Is there any truth at all in what’s been said? If so, problem solve. Make a plan with your partner to make things better next year.
Pope Says Same-Sex Marriage is 'Anthropological Regression" The leader of the Catholic Church Pope Francis is concerned over Malta's Civil Union bill to allow same-sex couples to wed. An article in the National Catholic Register revealed that during a recent private conversation, Pope Francis let his views be known that same-sex marriage is an "anthropological regression". The Holy Father was also "saddened" by legislative proposals in Malta to extend equality legislation to gay couples. Malta, a predominantly Roman Catholic country, is currently debating a civil unions bill which includes the right of same-sex couples to adopt. The Times of Malta reported that the Pope was "shocked" by the proposed bill.
Victims unaware they're being advertised for sex New Craigsl New Craigslist crime targeting women, men OMAHA, Neb. —A new type of crime is catching victims completely off guard when they find out someone was secretly soliciting them for sexual services online. On Craigslist’s women seeking men page, some people are advertising more than a date. Some women’s name, phone number and sometimes picture are posted without them even knowing, leading to hundreds of texts and phone calls from people wanting sex. “As soon as those ads go up, their phone starts ringing.” said Detective Roy Howell, with the Bellevue Police Department. Howell said he investigated a couple’s dispute where a 21-year-old man allegedly posted a false ad about his ex-girlfriend. “(It read) I want as many men as I can have, bring handcuffs,” Howell said. In another case, Howell cited a 49-year-old for allegedly listing his neighbor's belongings on Craigslist for free. “It shows pictures of a wood pile and pictures of trash and pictures of the individual’s house,” Howell said. In both cases, Howell said the suspects only face charges of disturbing the peace. “There’s no certain law that covers this type of crime, yet. The legislature is looking into it. I'm aware of that -- trying to create a law that covers posting somebody for soliciting sex or posting someone’s information without their knowledge,” he said. Howell said he would like to get a law in the books because he's seeing more of these cases. “It could be anybody that just happens to have your number and a problem with you that day. They just created it. There’s not much protection you can do,” he said. In one case, Christopher Brackett, of Bellevue, faces nearly 40 counts of child porn in federal court. Howell said Brackett posted pictures of a child on Craigslist -- in that case it is a federal charge -- but for adults, there's not much police can do other than take down the post and track the IP address back to the suspect.
Don't Be Scared: 8 Reasons Not to Fear Gay Marriage Listen, I get it. The recent shift in Utah State law regarding marriage for same-sex couples has taken many by surprise. This includes the Utah State Attorney General's office, whose fumbling has certainly sent the conservative right spiraling with anxiety while hundreds and hundreds of same-sex couples married all over the state. Not to mention the Utah man on a hunger strike until the state stops allowing same-sex marriages (does the recently imposed stay by the U.S. Supreme Court suffice or will he try and hold out for a reversed ruling?). But, I've got good news; there's no reason to be scared (and there is certainly no reason to starve). Here's why: Your church is protected. Remember, we're fighting to protect people's fundamental and inalienable rights outlined by the United States Constitution, and part and parcel of that is your church's right to decide if and how it recognizes its LGBT congregants. The kids are fine. Actually, they're better than fine. The American Psychological Association noted (even back in a 2004 study) that gay and lesbian parents are just as likely as their heterosexual counterparts to provide supportive and healthy environments for their kids. In fact, if anything threatens the safety and health of children from same-sex parents, it is when their families are not protected by the laws afforded to heterosexual families. Furthermore, you can teach your children whatever you'd like about gay folks, regardless of the law. So, although it's not recommended (or preferred), you're even allowed to pass down your homophobia. Homophobia makes for an unhealthy diet. In all fairness, it is the fear of gays that is detrimental to a person's health -- not actual gays. Plus, think how often Utah lawmakers have disregarded hungry mouths proving they really don't care what you do or do not eat. And nor should they. No one person's diet should decide the civil rights of hundreds of thousands of people. Eat up. You won't be alone. More and more people, even in Utah -- one of the most conservative states in the union -- support same-sex marriage. In fact, several recent polls on LDS Church-owned KSL.com show a vast majority of people support same-sex marriage in Utah. So, 2004's Amendment 3, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman, did reflect the will of the people, and now so does it being deemed unconstitutional. Join the party. You can avoid buyer's remorse. You will never get back the energy, money or delicious meals missed that you spend working to disenfranchise an entire population of people. So, stop. Work to that end rarely sees gains. Healthy couples make for strong economies. Research has shown that the economic impact of extending marriage to same-sex couples is very positive. As is providing ways for more Americans to access health care via their spouses. Supporting and protecting all families is actually good for your wallet. Gay people aren't magic. Although sometimes a flattering thought, we don't have special powers and can't change people's sexualities or ruin their marriages. Think about it: If we were magic, we wouldn't have to be having this conversation. And Subarus would be free. Lastly, we're not new. Whether or not the government has civilly recognized our unions, same-sex couples have been around forever. We are your neighbors, your doctors, your policemen and women and your lawmakers. The only item on our agenda is love. And in the states and nations that recognize and protect our marriages by law, not a single instance of the apocalypse has been reported. So, take a deep breath. And for goodness' sake, have a sandwich.
This Just In: Pubic Hair Is Making A Comeback Time to ditch razors and brazilian wax? A new survey finds that hair down there is back in action. We have hair on our body for a reason. When you think about where you have the most hair, it makes sense as to why. Take, for example, pubic hair. Although it may not be the most attractive of hair clumps, it does serve a purpose. That purpose? A nice little cushion to protect against all that bumping and grinding, of course! But its purpose hasn't stopped people from removing it. In fact, ladies have been taking that stuff off for centuries. As far back as 4000 to 3000 BC, according to some sources, women were shaving their pubic hair to keep things down there nice and clean, and free from lice. Other cultures and religions, often deeming a woman's vagina a dirty and unruly entity, consider the removal of pubic hair a necessary part of proper hygiene. However, in modern day times, where bathing and soap are pretty much standard in maintaining good hygiene, pubic hair removal, especially on women, has become more of an aesthetic thing. Whether it was the porn industry that started making a naked vulva all the rage or grooming a full bush just became a pain, for awhile, going bald eagle via the infamous Brazilian wax seemed to be the norm, but now things appear to be swinging back the other way. A recent survey found that 51 percent of ladies are letting things go wild down there without any styling or grooming to be had. In addition to this fascinating news, according to women, 62 percent claim their partner loves a full bush. Hello? 1977? Is that you knocking at our door? Celebrities are also going on record as praising keeping things intact and natural in the nether region. As Cameron Diaz wrote in The Body Book:"Women undergoing laser hair removal on all of theirpart of your body, your labia major is not immune to gravity. Do you really want a hairless vagina for the rest of your life?" lady bits. Personally, I think permanent laser hair removal sounds like a crazy idea. Also, let's be honest: just like every other Food for thought, no? If Diaz, along with Lady Gaga, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Solange, just to name a few, are keeping their Downtown Browns, what about the rest of us? What are all us average ladies on the street doing, and what do the men in our lives thing about it? It's about the hygiene. "I'm completely bare, waxed. Never had a guy tell me he preferred it either way. I just like the feeling, plus it feels more hygienic," says Sarah, 32. "I had Brazilian laser hair removal. I like not having all that hair down there as it feels cleaner that way," says Mieko, 36. Just say "no" to full-on nakedness "I shave along the bikini line and trim when necessary – frequency varies,” says Becky, 29. "I'm a minimalist. Can’t do completely bare though,” says Tara, 30. "I shave my bikini line, and keep the rest pretty short. It’s easier that way… sensitive skin,” says Chandra, 32. Hair, hair, everywhere. "I don't do anything to mine. If it weren't for society giving me shit I would literally never think about it. My man likes it because he was conceived in the seventies," says Jamie, 28. And how do guys feel about women's pubic hair? "There was a guy who basically insisted that waxing was the only way to go. I acquiesced but only if he paid for it (which he did). It never bothered me to do it if I didn't have to pay for it because I didn't care enough about how it looked (I don't really spend a lot of time looking at my lady cave.) When [current fella] and I got together I was back to just trimming and he never said anything. When I was making beauty appointments for the wedding I asked if I should get a wax and he wrinkled his nose and said, 'Ouch. No. Do it if you want but don't do it for ME'," says Colleen, 29. "If it [pubic hair] is too long, it feels like a scouring pad on the tongue. Keeping it on the short end works for me," says Aaron, 30. "I prefer bald or very little hair. First, I like the way it looks, but mostly, I love to feel the softness of the skin without any hair," says Alexander, 27. "I've never been with a woman who has much hair down there. I think because of that, I'm fascinated by the thought of being with a woman who has a crazy full bush. It might be hard to find things, but no guy in their right mind would complain about body hair when they have a chance to be intimate with one of the woman folk!" exclaims Damien, 31. So, perhaps the rise in keeping things au naturel is only the celebrity world? Because based on the feedback we got, the majority of women are still doing something to their hair down there, and most men like that something that's being done.
Laker Fans Caught Having Sex in VIP Bathroom I guess the Lakers couldn’t score enough on Sunday against the Nuggets so a couple of fans took matters into their own hands. According to an eyewitness report given to Radar Online, a couple decided it was time to break in the Staples Center VIP bathroom: The Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t score enough points to defeat the Denver Nuggets on the court Sunday night, but one couple SCORED off the court, RadarOnline.com has learned. The frisky pair caused a major incident for security at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles when they were caught mid-consummation in the VIP bathroom on the suite level of the stadium. “Staples Center security and a uniform police officer had them surrounded and were talking to them outside the bathroom. The couple didn’t even look embarrassed.” I guess they also weren’t even trying to hide it and were pretty loud. At least someone inside of Staples had a smile on their face since the couple is said to have been smiling about it when they got caught. No wonder Pau Gasol doesn’t want to be traded if this is what goes down.
The World Air Sex Championship Is A Thing Forget "Air Guitar," this is the real deal. BY CAROLINE PERKINS Invented in a Tokyo karaoke bar by a group of single men in 2006, the phenomenon of "air sex" is taking Britain by storm. This year marks the fifth annual competition where participants lick, kiss, and fuck their imaginary partners in front of a live crowd to the soundtrack of their choosing. It's raunchy, disturbing, and often hilarious. With a documentary in the works, founder Chris Trew, explains "air sex" to The Daily Mail. Previously an air guitar afficionado, after watching a YouTube video of "air sex", comedian Chris Trew was sold. He started adding it to the air guitar competitions he was holding and in 2009 the World Air Sex Championship was born. Of his show, he says "Sex is a big part of life and framing it in a way that allows us to laugh at it is a very powerful thing", and he is now set to make a documentary about the sport. According to the website, "Contestants have about 2 minutes to perform an Air Sex routine. This can include all phases of an Air Sex encounter: meeting, seduction, foreplay and intercourse, or you can simply cut to the chase." They must perform to music and the "most important rule is that all sexual climaxes must be simulated, not real." Over a third of the competitors are women, including a recent winner named Cuntastrophe. The Daily Mail reports, "The sport has even penetrated popular culture, with Chris appearing on America's Got Talent in 2012. But the act ended prematurely with Judge Howard Stern branding his seductive moves 'highly offensive.'" If you can offend Howard Stern, I would like to shake your hand. Seriously. Now Chris is taking the competition to the UK where he thinks it will work well with the Brit's "comedic sensibilities." We agree. And get your R. Kelly tracks and slow-jerk motions ready, New York, because The Winter Classic is coming here on February 7th.
Vid Shows JayZ Interviewed As 2 Girls Have Sex Nearby As Jay Z prepares for two landmark homecoming gigs in his Magna Carter World Tour at the Barclays Center starting Sunday – a bizarre 1997 video of the mogul being interviewed next to two women having sex has been unearthed. A then 28-year-old Jay, looking slightly awkward, is seen sitting on a couch next to two women engaging in hardcore lesbian sex as he is interviewed by 2 Live Crew mastermind Luther Campbell. The distracting interview reportedly took place 17 years ago, around the time of the release of Jay’s second album “In My Lifetime, Vol 1,” and years before he met now-wife Beyonce. In what is possibly his strangest interview ever, Jay attempts to discuss his music but just stumbles over his words as the women continue in their intimate act right next to him. Campbell, meanwhile, remains nonchalant and sips from a bottle of Hennessey. According to music site Consequence of Sound, the NSFW video “says a lot about how far we’ve come in just 15 years: many argue that hip-hop is still hypersexualized, but if a rapper like Kendrick Lamar or ASAP Rocky appeared in something like this today, the blowback would be intense and their career probably derailed.”
Where's the sex drive drug for women? (CNN) -- For about a month, Barbara Gattuso felt at least 40 years younger. Gattuso, 65, had enrolled in a clinical trial for a drug aimed at women who have low sexual desire. There is no treatment available in the United States for boosting the female sex drive, but women like Gattuso hoped that would change with this experimental medication, called flibanserin. "It was amazing, absolutely amazing, and it just makes you feel whole," Gattuso said, recalling her feeling of taking this drug. "It makes you feel like a complete woman again." Outside such experimental settings, there are no medications available in the United States for female hypoactive sexual desire disorder. That's the technical term for when women have a distressing lack or absence of sexual desire or fantasy. Up to one-third of adult women may experience it, according to a 2002 study. Flibanserin seemed like a potential answer for many. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has rejected applications to green-light the drug. Sprout Pharmaceuticals, which is pursuing approval of the drug, has appealed the FDA's most recent decision, and was scheduled to have a meeting with FDA officials on Friday, said the company's president and chief operating officer, Cindy Whitehead. Given that the drug has been through numerous, rigorous clinical trials, and so much has been invested in it, the FDA's refusal to approve it is a turning point in the field of sexual medicine, says Dr. Irwin Goldstein, director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego, California, who collaborated on clinical trials for flibanserin. If there is no positive action on the drug, it could spell doom for pharmacological efforts to manage female sexual desire, he said. "It will go back to dark ages of saying, 'This is all a relationship problem,' even though we know it's not," he said. The FDA declined to answer specific questions regarding the matter. FDA spokeswoman Andrea Fischer said in a statement: "The FDA is only able to provide information on approved drug product applications. Any information on an application that has yet to receive an approval or was denied approval belongs to the manufacturer/sponsor developing the drug." Sprouting a drug Flibanserin was initially developed by pharmaceutical giant Boehringer Ingelheim, but the company ditched it in 2010 after the FDA declined to approve their new drug application, asking for more research, Goldstein said. A smaller operation, Sprout Pharmaceuticals, took over work on the drug in 2011, and resubmitted an application with 14 new clinical studies, encompassing data on more than 3,000 new patients, according to the company. In total, more than 11,000 people have participated in clinical trials for flibanserin, Whitehead said. Still, the most recent attempt to get flibanserin off the ground failed; the FDA did not approve the company's revised drug application in October. The FDA characterized the drug as having a "modest" effect in its response letter, Whitehead said. But clinical trial results show statistically significant improvement in the women who took the drug, compared to those who took a placebo, she said. "In terms of what we see, I would say 'modest' is meaningful," Whitehead said. A 2013 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine showed that women taking the drug reported an average increase of 2.5 satisfying sexual events in four weeks, compared to an increase of 1.5 among women using a placebo. Flibanserin is not a hormonal treatment and does not appear to affect fertility or interact with birth control medications, Whitehead said. The drug works by increasing brain blood flow in particular ways, Goldstein said. It increases levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenaline, and lowers levels of serotonin. Side effects of flibanserin include dizziness, nausea, fatigue and sleepiness. Unlike some treatments for men, flibanserin needs to be taken once a day, every day. Other options There are other experimental treatments for low female sex drive in the works. Drugs called Lybrido and Lybridos, developed by a company called Emotional Brain, have undergone several randomized studies with results that are "very promising and will be published soon," according to the company's website. A drug called Bremelanotide is being investigated by Palatin Technologies for both men and women. None of these drugs has completed phase 3 trials, which are necessary before approval. Whitehead counts 24 FDA-approved treatments available in the United States for male sexual dysfunction, including popular drugs such as Viagra (sildenafil citrate). For women, it's zero. "A lot of times, the medical community has really put men's needs first and hasn't really addressed women's sexual needs," said Jennifer Foust, a sex therapist in Aventura, Florida, who is not affiliated with flibanserin. Because doctors have no solutions, women have tried less-proven treatments for their low sexual desire, such as diets and herbs. None of Foust's clients has had success with them. She said some women who aren't functioning well sexually would be "open to anything." "I've had women complain, 'Why isn't there a female Viagra?' " Foust said. Sex drive: It's complicated Sex drive is more complicated for women than for men, Foust said. There are a lot of factors that could explain a woman's low desire -- and not all of them are medical, she said. Lifestyle and relationship issues may come into play. Having a first child can be a problematic factor for some women; the adjustment and figuring out how to restructure their sex life can throw off desire. Foust has spoken to some new mothers who feel they are constantly being asked for something from their body, as if they are "touched out," but find their lack of desire troubling. Some couples maintain satisfying sex lives over many years -- but some, over time, go on autopilot and have less and less sex. "You have to continue to feed your sexual relationship, and feed your relationship in general," Foust said. "A lot of it depends on how much importance and energy you put toward your sex life. "Sometimes stress is the issue, too, she said. Foust offers cognitive-behavioral, focused exercises to help women who are distressed about their low sexual desire. Low sexual desire in women isn't necessarily a problem in menopause or later. Foust works with many women complaining of low sex drive who are in their 30s and 40s. The average age of participants in the flibanserin trials was 36, Whitehead said. Gattuso's daughter is in her late 30s, and she and her friends are having similar problems, Gattuso said. Her physician friends want a solution for low female sexual desire, too, she said; they want to be able to offer female patients something besides "I'm sorry."
Women Have No Problem Initiating Sex Women get a bad rap when it comes to initiating sex, and while it’s true that being assertive about asking for what we want can be tough for some of us, there are about a million different situations that might inspire us to throw a man on the bed and tell him what’s up. We don’t always need a scented candle burning and a deep talk about our feelings to get us in the mood. Sometimes we just need to be cheered up after watching a documentary about peak oil. Or maybe we’re avoiding doing a formidable pile of laundry. Or maybe we were weirdly turned on by an offhanded sexual comment made by a guy we weren’t even attracted to 5 minutes ago. The point? There are tons of times when we have no problem going after a penis we want. Here are a few of them… 1. We just watched a really depressing documentary on Netflix and now I need to be cheered up. 2. I’m annoyed with you and know an orgasm is a shortcut to forgiveness. 3. I just had a soul-crushing convo with my mother, and you are holding me, and oh, now I want to make love to you! 4. We’ve been laying on the couch and I got bored. 5. The “Oh my god you remembered to buy the kind of half and half I like and I’m so in love with you right now” sex. 6. The “I can’t bear to watch anymore football so I will distract you by taking off my underwear” sex. 7. The ” Whoa! I didn’t think I was in the mood but now I am!” sex. 8. I don’t feel like having this serious conversation anymore, let’s have sex instead. 9. Oh my God! In this light, from this angle you kinda looked like Ryan Reynolds for a second and I want to have fantasy celebrity sex. 10. The “I can’t stand to hear you talk about your boring job anymore but you have a nice body” sex. 11. I’ve had one drink more than my maximum and I don’t give a fuck so let’s fuck. 12. The “I want to see how my new manicure looks while grabbing your ass” sex. 13. I used to have a crush on you and you didn’t want me but now you do and I don’t, but I’m going to fuck you anyway out of pride. 14. The “You just killed it at a party with my friends and they love you and I’m so relieved” sex. 15. I wore hot lingerie today for no particular reason but now I really want to put it to good use. 16. The “I haven’t gotten laid in literally months so anyone will do” sex. 17. I just saw you play a gig and now I must fuck you even though you’re not as hot up close as you were on stage. 18. You just cooked me the most amazing ratatouille I’ve ever had and now I want to thank you with sex. 19. The “You said something so provocative that it got under my skin and I can only think of you sexually now even though i’m not that attracted to you” sex. 20. The “You are fucking talented” fuck. 21. I just got a new haircut and want to see how the layers swing around when I fuck you really hard. 22. Or … I just got a new haircut and I feel ugly and want you to screw the ugly out of me. 23. The “You said exactly the thing I wanted you to say exactly when I wanted you to say it” sex. 24. The house is a mess and I’m avoiding cleaning it, so we might as well hump instead. 25. The “I remember what you looked like 10 years ago and you were so fucking hot” sex.
As a Canadian I LOVE this the fact that we are legalizing this is fantastic. As long as it is done right safe and clean.
