Happy Humpday! Welcome to the midweek stretch. It’s the week before Memorial Day, which means that we only have to get through a few more days before we can be swept away on a delicious three-day weekend adventure. It also means that the unofficial start of summer is nearly here!! Can you tell I’m excited!!! So, let’s not waste any more time with introductions when there are celebrations to be had – onward to the Link Love!
- Well, that’s one way to get to the egg as fast as possible.
- Finally, sex toys (one of the last of the unregulated industries) are being called on the not-so-hot results that may occur. Whether it’s due to shoddy toy designs, low quality materials or lack of education, bunches of folks head to the emergency room each year with sex toy related injuries (or retrieval needed), and until now there hasn’t been any way to keep track of specific toy issues. Now SaferProducts.gov, run by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, includes sex toys on their public database. Sure, there are still lots of toys leaching phthalates all over the place, but this is definitely a win for people who love good sex toys!
- Speaking of sex toys (kinda), would you spend $56 for a box of condoms? Even if they were made of super thin latex, featured extra slick hypoallergenic lube and designed to fit perfectly? Naked condoms are $5 a pop, where as Trojans are $1. What are your thoughts? (via Em and Lo)
- Good Vibes spends a little time with super hot mama, Nica Noelle. Lucky them!
- In sad news, porn star Cynthia Gillig-Stone (aka. Echo Valley) died in a car accident on Saturday night. It’s reported that she was not wearing a seat belt due to her large breasts (third-largest in the U.S. at a whopping 65NN measurement!) and was ejected from the car. She would have been 57 years old on May 29th.
- A new study on sex and secularism by Kansas University has found some interesting, and very controversial, findings. So controversial that I’m just going to link without commenting.
- So… it’s not porn related, but I’m super excited about it so I needed to blurt – VH1 is bringing back Pop Up Video in the fall! Woohoo!
- And lastly, check out this phenomenal trailer for Buck Angel’s documentary on transmen and sexuality. I got to see a little bit of it when Buck was in Philly, and it’s seriously awesome. Dude is one hell of an educator!
Hope this gets you through til the weekend!
