But First, a Little Story...

I remember the first time a man ever asked me to shave my vagina. I was in ninth grade, he was in tenth. We were innocently watching a movie together in his room when one thing led to another and before I knew it his sneaky fingers were down my pants. We had an exhilarating fingering session, the threat of being caught "red-handed" by a supervisory adult adding to the heat of the moment.

Then we heard it. His mother calling us to dinner. The hand was immediately gone and our clothes were hurriedly straightened. After a few deep breaths to wash the tell-tale color from our cheeks, we headed for the dining room. Dinner. Silly chatting. Time to go home.

As we were getting our coats, he pulled me into an empty room for the last of our nightly stolen kisses. He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear, romantically gazed into my eyes and said, "Would you shave everything for me?"

The next few seconds seemed like an eternity as I tried to reconcile what I thought he was going to say with what exactly he meant by what he did say! In my naivety it honestly took me a while to connect the dots. Then it hit me, and I must have turned all shades of red. What kind of girl did he think I was, asking me to do something as scandalous as that?! I was both furious and curiously aroused at his request.

Turns out he was right about me. I was exactly that kind of girl...Or would be in a couple more years. By the time I was a senior in high school shaving "down there" was as routine as brushing my teeth. Too bad he was long gone by then...


The Easy-to-Do, No-Itching, No-Bumps Guide to Shaving Your Favorite Vagina:

Step 1: Trim everything down to a manageable length for shaving - usually a quarter inch (1 cm) or less is good.

Step 2: Spend a few minutes soaking in a tub of warm (not too hot!) water or standing under a warm shower.

Although it might seem easy to skip this step, don't! The warm water makes skin softer and more pliant. You'll get a much closer shave and a lot less irritation than if you try to shave right away. Using bath oils to help moisturize the sensitive skin is also a great idea!

Step 3: Use a specialized shaving cream that is designed for those extra special parts of the body.

Not only are these shaving creams designed to be extra gentle, they are formulated to help reduce razor burn - which is exactly what causes those icky red bumps and itchy skin. Trust me, when you run your silky smooth vagina up and down his thigh you want it to be for completely sexual purposes - not because you literally have an itch that needs scratching! Enjoy the lathering process, it's a great "excuse" to rub yourself (or your partner) in all the right places...

Step 4: Shave in the direction of the hair growth, and then in the opposite direction.

This really does make the process easier since almost all of the hair is gently removed with the first shave. Shaving against the direction of the hair growth evens out the shave, makes it as smooth as possible, and decreases the chance of ingrown hairs. If you start off by shaving against the hair you'll be more likely to irritate the skin.

**Also, when shaving the outer lips I find it helpful to make a "V" shape with my first and middle fingers,placing one on the inner lip and the other at the crease of my thigh. This spreads the outer lip taught, making the shaving surface flatter while protecting the inner lip from accidental cuts.

Step 5: Rinse with warm water and apply an extra-sensitive moisturizer to the entire area.

Again, don't skip this step! Applying a moisturizer immediately after the shave will help to prevent excessive dryness. Plus, many of these moisturizers have wonderfully alluring scents and some go as far as being edible...But for the life of me I can't imagine why anyone would want that...

Step 6: Enjoy your perfectly smooth, luxuriously silky lips to the fullest while they last.

Because as we all know, it won't be long before you'll need to shave all over again. But somehow I think you'll find a way to turn this chore into a sensually naughty treat!

Anal Bleaching, All the Cool Kids are Doing It!

And by Cool Kids I mean porn stars, strippers, celebrities, and your kinky next door neighbor. Until a few days ago I'd never heard of anal bleaching. Apparently I've been completely missing this, um, "interesting" personal care trend. It's even been mentioned in big time women's magazines like Marie Claire. Since anal shaving and waxing are regular beauty Musts in today's glamorous world, I guess this is the logical next step.

But what exactly is anal bleaching?

For those of you who've been living under a rock like I have, the Urban Dictionary explains anal bleaching as a Cosmetic Technique:

"Whereby strong bleaching solutions like hydroquinones are used to lighten the anal area. This procedure is employed by strippers, body builders, actors and actresses. Seems over time, the butticular area becomes darker (some say it's due to dark foods like coffee, others speculate it's due to staining from the bilirubin content in feces.) Either way, those who aspire to wear butt floss as swimwear or do pole dancing seem to feel a lighter sphincter will improve their image.”

Huh, so it's precisely as it sounds. We should all aspire for anuses that are perfectly blended into the surrounding color of our buttocks skin, or slightly pinker for added emphasis. I don't know about you, but I'm very happy to have something as important as this to worry about! Phew! My life was getting a little too stress-free for my liking.

What Causes the "Offensive" Anal Discoloration in the First Place?

This is point of contention between those who want to position anal bleaching as a health and hygiene issue verses those who want to promote it as a cosmetic beauty treatment. On the Health side, reasons include anal staining due to excessive coffee and soda drinking, as well as poor wiping techniques that smears your you-know-what around instead of actually wiping it away. After years of poor eating habits and bad wiping, the skin around the anus becomes darker. A quick solution is to bleach away the damage, just like we bleach away stains on our teeth (even though it's not actually bleach but a heavy peroxide-based cleaning gel). Once that is accomplished, special "wipes" can be used to keep your anus its new perfect color. Oddly these "special wipes" look just like ordinary "baby wipes" repackaged and sold for a lot more, but who am I to judge?

On the Beauty Treatment side, the main reason given for anal discoloration is genetic. Some people simply have more pigment in that area than others. Personally, I'm on this side of the debate - if we can call it a debate. Just like some people have dark nipples and labia while others have light, some people have dark anuses and some people don't. It seems those who "don't" are winning the underground anal beauty war at the moment...


Where is Everyone Getting These Anal Bleaches?

Upscale salons and spas are starting to offer this treatment more and more. Sure, you have to know where to look and be willing to pay half your yearly income to acquire a wonderful porn-style anus, but it's worth it!

And if you're too embarrassed to go to a salon or spa for this very personal treatment, you can do it by yourself in the comfort of your own home. You have to love the entrepreneurial spirit surrounding this whole thing. Do a quick Google search and you'll find lots of e-shops willing to provide you with all your anal bleaching needs. There's ShopInPrivate.com and even eBay to help you out! (And yes, they sell the Very-Special-Wipes too!)

My Not-So-Humble thought on Anal Bleaching...

Call me crazy, but bending over in front of a mirror and looking between my ass cheeks is not something I do on a regular basis. Sure I give it a check every once in a while, and I'll even go so far as making sure it's silky smooth for those special occasions or when I want to have an extra good time that night...But bleaching?! Thanks but no thanks, I'll keep my anus what ever color my genetics decided it should be.

And for the record, if my sex partner actually cared enough about the color of my ass to have it negatively affect our sex life, I'd seriously consider finding a more open-minded and loving person to play with. "Photoshop" does not make for good sex anyway.

Vibrating Your Way to Health - What You Didn't Know About the History of Vibrators

Way back in the late 1800's the first vibrator was created as a medical device intended to treat and cure hysteria - a "disease" which only affected women and was characterized by: irritability, depression, confusion, heart palpitations, forgetfulness, insomnia, headaches, muscle spasms, ticklishness or weepiness (Lindemann, 2006).

Apparently the founders of modern medicine, all men let's remember, decided that women who suffered from any of the above conditions would feel much better if they simply orgasmed more. Of course, they didn't call it an orgasm because they believed women could only experience an orgasm via penile penetration. Wasn't that convenient? Instead these "pelvic massages" and "vibratory treatments" caused "local spasms" which led to "hysterical paroxysms." Nothing sexual per se, this was medicine, not obscenity!

I'm sure the women involved knew exactly what was going on. But who could blame them for seeking release where ever they could? Considering how little their sexual pleasure was considered in marriage at the time they probably didn't care where their orgasms were coming from as long as they were coming. After all, masturbation was a horrible sin - good women didn't do that! But, good women did go to Doctors...


It's interesting to note that because vibrators were considered a legitimate treatment for a legitimate problem they were accepted by society and readily used in Doctors' offices and homes. In fact, it wasn't until the 1920s with the glorious introduction of film and photographic pornography that the vibrator became associated purely with sexual pleasure for the first time. Needless to say the reaction of the conservative society was to ban the vibrator's use as such, and the poor vibe became an outcast, at least publicly, for the decades that followed.

Welcome to the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s! Finally sex for pleasure was cool, and the long-lost vibrator was back in the spot light. Since then it's lingered around, quietly popping it's head up here and there. Today's women don't think twice about buying, talking about, or using those little devices. But has the medical appeal disappeared completely?

Nope. Instead of treating hysteria, vibes are used to treat Sexual Dysfunction. Turns out those pervy old Drs were onto something. Having orgasms really does help to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, irritability (think of how you feel after a month without cumming!), and so on. Having orgasms has great overall health benefits for both men and women due to the amount of endorphins released into the body. Plus the exercise is good for you too. Combined these things help relieve some causes of sexual dysfunction - primarily mental/emotional ones.


But where does the vibe fit in? Physically vibes encourage blood flow to the genital area which means it gets more oxygen. This leads to increased sensation and responses. Used as a treatment, vibes actually do help women in particular keep their genitals "primed" for sexual arousal.

A good catch phrase often cited in Sexological literature is "Use It or Lose It." As both men and women get older, those who maintain an active sex life continue to have satisfactory sex well into "old age," whereas those who do not suffer more genital degeneration and sexual pain. Something to think about. Regularly using vibes can help keep our genitals responsive and healthy into our senior years.

So, although the vibe has been reintroduced into the medical profession as a treatment, at least it's true sexual nature has come out of the closet!

I seize you

and the moment
pulling you close
My eyes have turned
from sparkling blue
to dark with desire
My mouth wanting
finds yours responsive
our kiss almost hostile
Pushed against the wall
my knee pressing firmly
between your legs
we tear at each other
ripping away the layers
that keep our skin
from the heat of passion
Rough hands grab flesh
Soft hands pull hair
We fall wildly to the floor
By demanding will
Iam pulled into you
unrelenting in your need
rigid in my response
almost ruthless in
our intolerable lust


Breathing labored with sweat
we grind away at time
each matching thrust
brings me closer to boil
You scream at the heavens
your love squeezing me tight
With rapture I unleash
the heat of my intensity
we now lay sated
entwined in adoration
we muse with fondness
at our sharing of love

Thanks so much for that steamy poem Joseph! I found this very friendly and delightful Kansas poet over on StumbleUpon and thought you lovely readers might appreciate taking a look at his work as much as I do. He says he started writing just a couple years ago as a way to vent life's frustrations. If only we were all so articulate...

Are You Waiting to be Seduced?

It's Thursday evening and you're standing in line at the grocery store. Your significant other called just as you were leaving work to inform you that dinner would not be on the table when you got home because there was nothing edible in the house. Great. Perfect end to a crap day.

You look around at all the other miserable nine to five-ers who've had to make the same dinner grabbing pit-stop as you have. And then suddenly, out of the garbled faceless crowd, you see their eyes - intent, focused, unflinching. You look behind you. Surely those eyes aren't meant for YOU. You look back cautiously, and the eyes are still there, just the same. No, a little more hungry now, a little more bold. The person smiles a little, a turning up of their lips, nothing more - but it's a smile that's universally recognizable. The one that says, "Yes, I'm looking at you and I think you look delicious."

You look away and shuffle forward as the checkout line moves up, but the blush you're trying to hide is already heating your cheeks. Should you look at them again? Should you smile back? Should you pretend you didn't see the lust in their eyes and get out of the store as quickly as possible?

You know what the right thing to do would be, but you can't help yourself. It's the most thrilling thing that's happened to you all day. Those eyes. That smile. You look up again, pulse racing. But there's no one there. Your heart inexplicably sinks, and you feels as though a chance has been missed. But a chance at what? You weren't going to talk to them. You weren't going to exchange numbers. But maybe one more exchanged look would have been enough...

***

These secretly indulgent, unexpected, and utterly insignificant moments happen to us all at some point. They creep up out of nowhere and often make us wonder why that electric spark that passes so easily between strangers seems so hard to recapture with our long term significant others. For many, these moments make them doubt how "in love" they really are with their partners. Such a tiny exchange can cause all sorts of destructive thoughts - Am I bored with my relationship? Am I not close enough to my partner emotionally? Should I feel guilty about my attraction to this stranger? Should I tell my partner what happened when I get home?!

It's completely natural and very typical to experience momentary confusion, but the worst thing you can do is dwell on it too much. If you were perfectly content with your partner before this heart-pounding episode started, then you should rest assured that you are still content with your partner now that it is over. Just because someone looks at you "that way" and turns you on does not mean you're going to run off and start cheating.

Having said that, the fact that people experience these interactions with others should be some what of an incentive to keep your own relationship as spicy as possible. If your relationship is in trouble and both partners are not getting their needs met - either emotionally or physically - then these furtive glances across the grocery aisles are much more likely to be perused.

Essentially you can think of it this way: Everyone is always waiting to be seduced and swept away by a torrid and sexual romance. No one's life is ever too busy for such things. Somehow lovers always find the time to be lovers.

So the real question becomes: Are you going to let a stranger seduce your lover, or are you?
