We’re going to get serious on you guys and take some time to recognize World AIDs Day. We think it is important to understand that the disease is still very much present in the US and around the world. This day was created to raise awareness of risk, but also encourage people to educate themselves in order to decrease the prejudices of people living with HIV.
Take responsibility for your life.
Get tested regularly.
Practice safer sex always.
Show solidarity with those living with the disease.
AVERT.org has a lot of great information about the many aspects of HIV and AIDs. Get familiar with it. All of it. If you’re not sure where to start, we think finding out about how you can get HIV will get you moving in the right direction.
We love sex and all things pleasure based, but safety always comes first. Give your body and those around you the respect that is deserved.
Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the psuedo-midweek stretch. It’s been a short week that’s moving by super quickly, so let’s get to celebrating Humpday stat, before we blink and it’s Friday afternoon. Also, can we just marvel at the fact that it’s JUNE!?! When did that happen, right? I suppose time flies when you are busy watching the porno! Alright, let’s get to it!
- Awesome weather equals more and more boats coming off of the dock. I’m so glad some of them have such hilarious names. I’m also so glad that I have the sense of humor of a teenage boy and dick jokes crack me up.
- Speaking of things that made me laugh today, this Sensitive Nips video seriously had me from the first second. I couldn’t tell you why, other than the fact that this dude uses the word ‘nips’ over and over. Obviously I’m all for pleasure education (duh, look who you are talking to), but I lost it for this one.
- Now for a little more serious, check out this awesome article that will hopefully re-kickstart the search for a cure for AIDS. (via Tiny Nibbles)
- Sadly Masturbation Month has come to a close. Check out Buzzfeed’s list of top J/O songs! Goodbye May, I’ll keep the vibrator warm while you loop back around next year!
A gel “molecular condom” is being developed at the University of Utah, as I type, that can prevent the spread of the AIDs virus from men to women. Patrick Kiser, an associate professor of bioengineering at the University of Utah’s College of Engineering had this to say about the new breakthrough:
“The first step in the complicated process of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection in a woman is the virus diffusing from semen to vaginal tissue. We want to stop that first step. We have created the first vaginal gel designed to prevent movement of the AIDS virus. This is unique. There’s nothing like it.” – Medical News Today
This is absolutely awesome news for the industry! After the most recent AIDs ‘scare’ and the constant controversy the concept of a liquid condom that can trap sperm and protect from this virus is a long awaited breakthrough of epic proportions. The liquid condom might even protect against other diseases (herpes and HPV) as well as blocking sperm from connecting with an egg, so it just might be the perfect prophylactic for everyday use outside of the industry. Originally the gel was designed as a tool for women to use as a form of self protection in areas where condom use is often frowned upon or the prophylactic is actually hard to get, like sub-Sahara Africa and South Asia.
Happy Humpday! It’s Wednesday again and this week we are looking forward to a three day weekend that makes the home stretch that much more tedious. But not to worry, we scoured the internet and found a bunch of sexy links to make it all a little more bearable. Time to celebrate with a little link love!
- The Catholic Church is getting frisky?!? Polish monk Father Ksawery Knotz has written a new book on sex that even the higher ups in the church approve. I guess as long as you are down with brith control and fucking just for fun then reverse cowgirl doesn’t count as a sin. (via The Frisky)
Ok, we all know Valentine’s Day is coming at the end of this week. Sure, it exciting for some of us - but to others it’s totally annoying and a bit of a bother. And while I’m of the giddy, squeally variety when it comes to Feb. 14th, I’ve decided to consciously not inundate this week’s Link Love with all the sweetness and hearts that every other blog on the web is sporting. None of those ‘what to get your man on v-day’ posts or what have you. The only thing Valentine-y you are getting is the heart picture above… I couldn’t help myself to give at least a little cheer. But, doing this also means that Link Love is a little shorter this week. Seriously all the sex news on the web is pointing to Valentine’s Day, and even I’m a little sick of it. So, on that note, let’s get to it!
- Just like anything else with a motor, sex toys don’t last forever. Sad, I know, but when your trusty vibe finally konks out do the right thing and send it to Florida. Old folks love used sex toys! No, no, ew gross, just kidding. FL company Dreamscapes recycles sex toys – all you have to do is wash it and mail it! Easy peasy AND you get a $10 to vibratorshopping.com so you can mourn your favorite toy by having lots of orgasms with a new one! (via Jamye Waxman)
- Coolest gamer invention ever. Maybe even better than this. Now they just need to figure out how to combine the two… (via Tiny Nibbles)
- Speaking of sex toys, this sextoys.com post tell you exactly why it’s ok for your BF to like it up the butt. And if you need any help picking out a good harness…
- Ok, one more thing about sex toys, then I’ll move on. Babeland recently posted some awesome pictures of the inner working of the Vixen Creations dildo factory. How cool is that! Silicone dildos everywhere! Yay! Now I get to see where my favorite dick was born. Love it! Thanks Babeland!
Today is the 20th Anniversary of World AIDS Day, the international day of awareness that reminds us that AIDS is still affecting millions and millions of people worldwide. People all over the globe are hosting various events today that not only pay respect to the hordes of people who died from the disease and are currently living with HIV/AIDS, but promote AIDS awareness and safe sex awareness.
Just think, when this annual event began, Reagan was still in office and the world was just starting to really figure out what they were faced with. We’ve gone through twenty years of panic, research, hope, drugs, breakthroughs, roadblocks, celebrities dying, children dying, average Joes dying, grassroots organizations, wasting, losing a huge part of a generation, care, conviction, awareness, learning, teaching, helping each other and doing our parts to help eradicate this disease. The only real consistency of that whole twenty years is that ignorance is no help to anyone. Check out worldaidsday.org for more info and see find events and awareness campaigns near you.
