Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the mid-week stretch. It’s the last Wednesday in August – can you believe it? Summer is rapidly coming to an end and we will be knee deep in brightly colored leaves before we know it. Crazy, huh?
Anyway, we are kinda bummed about the whole move from bikinis, tube tops and flip flops to jeans and jackets and I’m guessing you are too (though I will never miss the sweltering heat and constant sweating), so here is a little extra link lovin’ to soften the blow.
Let’s get to it!
- Superb silicone supplier Tantus is hopping on the “vampire characters appearing in recent popular vampire literature and films” bandwagon and offering up a brand new sparkly Vamp dildo. I know nothing about this Twilight phenomenon, other than apparently their vampires sparkle in the sunlight. While I don’t really get that (they are supposed to burn up, aren’t they), I do love a good sex toy/book cross promotion. I’m still waiting for the Hitachi/Harry Potter wand promo…
- After their lesbian lovin’ story line was cancelled due to Guiding Light ending, soap opera actresses Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia are picking up and moving to “Venice” – a new web series featuring the two again as a couple. And while they aren’t Oliva and Natalia (the GL characters) on the new show, they will be sharing a little lip locking action – something that they weren’t allowed to before. Lesbians 1 – Soap Operas – 0. (via The Frisky)
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! Welcome to the mid-week stretch. It’s been a super hot week where we are, so we’ve decided to keep things as hot as possible on here as well to keep us from all out wilting… and from the looks of the butt shot above, the temperature is rising! Time for a big frosty glass of link lovin’ to keep us cool.
Let’s get to it.
- You’d think U.S. swimmer Ricky Berens would have been distracted by the fact that his swimsuit tore all the way down his back and exposed his tush right before a qualiftying heat during the World Swimming Championships, but he still qualified for U.S. finals and won! In that picture he looks like he’s wearing assless chaps. Read the rest of this entry »
I love Etsy. Where else in the world would you be able to buy a giant hand silkscreened condom pillow? Especially one that not only has a pocket to store condoms but also comes with a giant fabric condom! I am smitten and I want one!
It would go perfect with the giant fabric butt I made for my workshop! I think I need this as a “sex education tool.” I mean really, how can I teach about safe sex without it?!?
Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the mid-week stretch. To me today feels a lot closer to Friday than it does to Monday, so I am ready to help make that a reality to everyone else with a little link lovin’!
Let’s get to it!
- TheyFit condoms are back! The sized-to-fit condoms were available a few years back and disappeared off the market due to some documentation issues (nothing to do with the safety or integrity of the condoms), but they are back now for a limited time. Check out the diagram above to see how TheyFit gets the right measurements from you.
- Father’s Day is coming up this weekend, so be sure to thank Dad for all those important things he’s helped you with you over the years, including these 10 things he inadvertantly taught you about sex.
Happy Humpday! It’s that time again… mid-week, where the days seem to get longer and longer. Today has been pretty awesome already though (well, for me at least) and I thought I’d share the Wednesday lurve with an extra long edition of Link Love! We have a lot to link, so let’s get to it!
- As if drinking the beer wasn’t a prize in itself, Aussie beer company Skinny Blonde has created labels that strip their mascot of her bikini as you empty the bottle. And the winner for best marketing team goes to… (via Heartless Doll)
- In helping UC Davis student Amethyst Wang with her paper on Asian Americans/Hapas* in porn, queer smut hottie Jiz Lee, one of the few hapa identified people in the industry, gave her a thought-provoking, personal interview. Thanks for reposting the link, Jez!
* Hapa is a Hawaiian term used to describe a person of mixed Asian or Pacific Islander racial/ethnic heritage (thanks wiki).
- Sure you look at the expiration date (at least I hope you do), but do you know where your condom is made? The real question though, is does it matter? (via TheFrisky)
I’ve seen some pretty interesting stuff when it comes to balloons, but this Durex commerical definitely wins as the dirtiest (and cutest) thing I’ve encountered, balloon-wise, in a long time.
Sometimes those ad people just totally get it right. This is seriously the perfect balance between risque, hilarous and all around awesome… except for the squeaking. That noise makes me want to die.
Update: Here are a bunch of outtakes too. Watch them – they are awesome.
I’m not sure whether this is an insult or a compliment…
Apparently it’s hot chicks that are responsible for guys prematurely blowing their loads. According to condom company Durex, who just release the Peforma, a condom containing the mild anesthetic Benzocaine, ladies are the root of all that is comin’ too soon (whatever “too soon” is, since most people don’t come at the same time and if everyone gets satisfied, what’s the difference?).
The condoms are all fine and good… it’s the marketing campaign that has me feeling some sort of way. To promote the Performa’s delaying affects, Durex distributed limited edition pillowcases along with the condoms. Stamina pillowcases – featuring nasty old ladies posing provocatively (from the neck up, thank god). Ick. Not only would I not want to lie down next to this no matter what good it did me, what a freakin’ boner killer for everyone around.
Unless sexy grannies are your thing, in which case, these pillowcases might help in a totally different way.
Whatever happened to thinking about baseball? Guess Meatloaf fucked that one up.
This morning my girlfriend tried to convince me it was Saturday and we could stay in bed and go back to sleep. I was so excited until I realized the truth. It is not Saturday, and I am not still in bed, warm and passed out. No, I am at work. Welcome to mid-week. Sigh. It can’t be all bad though, because mid-week means hump day and hump day means link round up. And who can be sad when I bring you the most interesting sex links the web has to offer?
Stuck in the hump? The midweek hump that is. No worries, Wednesday is all about the linkage in these parts. Sit tight, click the mouse and enjoy the sexy, sexy ride.
- You Condoms is taking safe sex a step further with a service that puts you right in the action, whether or not you are the one getting laid. The company imprints custom pictures and designs directly on the front of the condom wrapper – all you need to do is send in a picture and they take it from there. While fun in theory, I think it sounds a little creppy actually. and I know there should be a “go fuck yourself” joke in here somewhere, but I can’t seem to pull it off without sounding too harsh… (via TheFrisky)
- Check out HotMoviesForHer contributing writer Audacia Ray‘s newly redesigned and elongated Live Girl Reviews. This almost ten minute video features a slew of book, toy and product reviews, as well as a quick tip from sexpert Jamye Waxman and a free give away to the first few commentors! Get to writing in!
- CW goes GLBT. The newest installment of Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model empire will include a 22 year-old transgender woman named Isis. Though there have been transgender characters on popular TV shows before, the self identified ”woman born physically male” will be the first trans-woman on an American reality show. Big props to Tyra and the CW for being awesome and inclusive! (via TheFrisky)
