So, I thought International Orgasm Day had passed, but apparently I was confused and thinking of National Orgasm Day (July 31) in the U.K. Or was is Global Orgasm Day (Dec. 22)? Anyway, point is I was wrong. Today is International Orgasm Day! The 10th annual to be exact. So Happy International Orgasm Day!
Vermont artist/actor Alex Hirka started I.O.D. ten years ago on an idea that came to him during a conversation about soliders.
“When armies walk across bridges, they usually break step because if you walk in step, you apply that much more force. You can actually cause damage by people walking in step,” he said. “That got me to thinking, ‘If you exerted positive energy at the same time, could that have an effect? I just thought that it would be great if people focused on orgasms for a day instead of whatever else. It wouldn’t be a consumer holiday; it would be just a day to have fun.”

I know, I know… It’s not good to stereotype, but I just found this hilarious post about a dude in Hong Kong who tried to hump a metal bench, got his penis stuck, and had to call the cops. Then the cops had to cut the metal bench apart and take him to the hospital so he could be freed. Looking at that bench, I’m pretty sure the holes are about the size of my thumb, so I’m sorry that this guy was able to get himself lodged in there in the first place.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but this is my final blog about our party last weekend. You may thing we’re not very cultured because we mostly just watch porn, but we dig art too. I’ve even been to a museum in the last month and pretended to be interested in Van Gogh’s Starry Nights for like ten minutes. (it was totally rad, but I’m not really smart enough to discuss art beyond “neat” or “cool.”)
Anyways, we were fortunate enough to display the work of the fine folks at PornSaints.Org and our boys over at HM the Blog have posted a gallery of great stuff.
Be sure to check it out. There’s some really “neat” work by some “cool” artists!
I’m not going to get into all the hairy details, but I am having a bad week. Little seems to be going right and I am longing for the weekend to be able to hide under my blankets and just ignore the world. But instead of being a total killjoy, I figured I’d rock a mixtape rewind that’s a little more inspirational and a little less Debbie Downer. And no, it’s not Enya.
I bring you Petra Haden and The Sellouts covering the ultimate inspirational ditty. Starting off as part of the 90’s pop punk band “That Dog” (which I was obsessed with in high school), Petra now performs a-cappella, using only her voice to produce the sounds of each instrument. Yeah, it sounds a little strange I know, but seriously, check out this video. I promise that it’s all the cool and none of the annoying of that guy from the Police Academy movies (and no, I don’t mean The Goot).
Enjoy. I might have already watched it on repeat a few times to make me feel better. Ok, fine, ten times. Whatever, it’s working.
I’m not the type of girl who typically reads books that are categorized as “historical romance.” If I’m going to read books looking for hot sex, I’m going straight to the erotica section, I don’t want any thinly veiled attempts at plot. Before I read Private Places, a collection of four novellas that are indeed of the historical romance genre, I wasn’t that excited. I was imagining cheesy romance writing filled with heaving bosoms and engorged love sticks. Lucky for us both, I’m a jerk that likes to assume the worst and stereotype everything – because this was a pretty good read.
There were two stories that really stood out for me including Robin Schone’s The Men and Women’s Club. This story is not what comes to mind when I think of erotica, although the sex scenes were really well done, and they basically talk about nothing but sexuality. Honestly, it’s so much more than erotica, because Schone tells a really fascinating story that deals with sexual repression and how dangerous it can be. Both Ardelle and Joseph are strong characters, with their own personal demons and their final confrontation before heading to trial is electric.
I also really enjoyed A Night At the Theater by Claudia Dain. It’s the tale of two courtesans who are plotting for revenge and seeking security during an evening at the theater. To me, this one read a little more like I thought a historical romance would, although I won’t divulge the details and ruin it. I enjoyed it because both female leads are strong, clever women who toy with men and the rules of society. It also helps that it’s a well-written story with an engaging plot and lots of public sex.
While this isn’t typically the type of book I seek out, I can admit that I enjoyed it and wouldn’t hesitate to pick up another book by one of its contributors. Fans of this genre will love this collection and those of you who may have preconceived notions about it may want to give it a chance. If you appreciate a good story and steamy sex (and who doesn’t!) you will find them here.
I’ve always been really curious about threesomes. An old roommate of mine used to call me DP, and when we ran into each other a few months ago, he asked me if I’d been DP’d (double penetrated) yet. The answer, both then and now, is still no but thanks to the crew at Shane’s World, I now know how to go about bringing up the possibility of having a threesome in conversation. Scene three is especially helpful with this matter, detailing the story of a girl who is trying to drop subtle hints to her boyfriend about wanting to add another playmate. She tries putting a dildo in his sandwich and her boyfriend even catches her naked and practicing using ski poles, but he still doesn’t get it! Not to fret, Penny Flame comes to her rescue, leading them both to the bedroom - and helps them through the beginning stages of a MMF threesome.
Often, after working in this industry, you forget how to talk about sex with people who aren’t as open about it as we are, but Penny Flame shares tips throughout the movie about how to get into the world of group sex. Surprisingly, Penny’s advice is very helpful for anyone who’s curious about threesomes (or foursomes, or orgies…) and communicating your fantasies with your partner. Awesome!
After all her hard work, Penny Flame deserves a reward and she gets it in the form of a nice big cock and a hot couple to play with. I think if I were to have a FFM threesome, I’d want Penny Flame there too. The more I see her in movies or posting on industry boards, the more I develop a girl crush on her. She just really loves what - and who - she’s doing at all times.
So, to recap: threesomes, hot sex, Penny Flame, and helpful advice? Yes!!! Thank you, Shane’s World, for another great flick!

To combat their increasing Chlamydia rates, the U.K. is allowing the antibiotic that treats Chlamydia to be sold over-the-counter. While the patient seeking the drugs must be over 16 and will still need proof of diagnosis, the treatment will not be far easier for people to access. The mail back kit test results will even have tear offs to give to partners so they can get treatment too. Can you even imagine!?! A government that proactively deals with sexually transmitted infections and a health system that works with the patients to get them well. Pure craziness, I know. I wonder what’s next, access to healthcare for all? Pigs would fly! Ok, enough with the snarkiness. Find out more info here.
Nerve.com recently posted their list of the 50 Sexiest Music Videos of all time. I was pleased, because I like lists and it’s totally diverse, I mean God-des and She, D’Angelo, and Billy Idol on the same list! Fantastic.
I didn’t agree with everything, but lists are always hit or miss. For example, I wouldn’t put J. Geils Band’s “Centerfold” in my top 8,000 but they have it at #2? I watched it and i’m pretty sure I won’t be turned on for at least 24 hours by anything after watching that skinny dude dance awkwardly for 3 minutes.
One video I was shocked not to see included was Rilo Kiley’s “The Moneymaker.” It has porn stars, including Tommy Gunn, in it, but they pale in comparison to Jenny Lewis. Her voice makes my belly feel weird and she’s never looked better than she does in this video. For a while I was under the impression that the golf club she’s holding at one point was a riding crop, and I felt a little weak in the knees for the former child star. Check it out and then spend a little time reminiscing about the time when you could watch music videos on television…
Reccently it’s been reported that French First Lady Carla Bruni has slept with 15 people. This, of course, triggered another session of the great slut debate - otherwise known as ye ole question “how many partners is too many partners?” Some people are totally astonished with Bruni’s staggeringly high 15, while others are blown away by her paltry 15. It’s really a lose lose conversation. My big inquiry is why do other people feel they need to judge others personal decisions and comment on them? And why is one number of sexual partners better or worse than another? I know we are all guilty of these judgements from time to time, but seriously, can we really pinpoint extactly what actions make one woman healthy and sexually active and another woman a promiscucous slut? And what’s so wrong with being “slutty?”
See what sex advice/cupcake goddess Rachel Krammer Bussel has to say about the debacle here. Definitely check it out.
Then go grab a pastry, because once I found out about the cupcake side of RKB, I can’t seem to get it out of my head. Mmmmm. Icing. :)
