gay marriage

We couldn’t be happier about this weekend’s news from New York!  For those of you living under rocks, New York legalized same-sex marriage!!!  Joining in with Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Iowa, plus the District of Columbia, New York has become the sixth (and most populous) state to let us queers get hitched! Woohoo!

Congrats to all the folks that can now legally celebrate their love!!  We are SO excited for you all!  Here’s hoping that Pennsylvania (and all the other states) get on the bandwagon.

Happy Humpday!  Welcome back to the mid-week stretch.  Well, here we are again, returning to that last full five day work week before those two shortened final weeks of the year.  Yep, all we need to do is get through this week, then we are in the clear for smooth sailing towards the holiday breaks!  But that means the holidays are coming near and everything needs to be ready! Oy! Sure, Hanukkah is already more than half over, but for this Jew, a gift isn’t late for the holidays until January 1st, so I’m still chugging along on the old craft wagon.

Anyway, I digress (ooh look, something shiny!).  So, yes, it’s the last long week of stress before the short week of scrambling to get stocking stuffers and extra gift wrap.  So, let’s take a relaxing Humpday break to sit back, chill out and find out all the sexy news that’s fit to print!

Let’s get to it!

- Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” gets a “poke her face” update with a bizarrely awesome penis face portrait (pictured).

- And speaking of dicks, this is the ultimate fucking bed.  It’s totally where the magic happens.

- A Nevada brothel owner is bringing something new to the oldest profession in the world.  She hopes to open the first legal male prostitution house in the United States, now that STI testing laws have changed.  I guess Field of Dreams was right… if you build it, they will definitely cum.

Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the mid-week stretch.  It’s November now – can you believe it?  Halloween is done and gone and we are moving into holiday territory and falling temps.  Lucky for us, this week’s Link Love is hotter than ever, so let’s get to it!

- In response to all the frostbitten nipple worries of the world, Japan’s Thanko has released their latest invention, the USB powered breast warming pads (pictured).  Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t usually have frigid tits… especially when I am close enough to my computer to feasibly plug my boob warmers in.  Back to the drawing board guys – and this time get some ladies to help you come up with something useful.

- While Playboy has always been about having ladies get into compromising position, their latest addition is a first, even for them.  Yoga enthusiast/2007 Playmate of the Year Sara Jean Underwood as created a bunch of videos for Playboy demonstrating some of her favorite poses.  I feel a crunchy Kama Sutra joke coming on… but doesn’t it just write itself?

Happy Humpday!  Welcome back to the mid-week stretch.  This week is a short one for most of us, with July 4th coming up on Saturday.  I love me a holiday that only requires eating BBQ and laying on the grass to watch pretty light bursts in the sky.  Oh, and Sheryl Crow, if you’re in Philly.  Having Friday off just sweetens the deal.  Sadly though, not everyone has a three day weekend.  For all you unfortunate folks, this link love is dedicated to you.  I hope it gets you through til the fireworks!

Let’s get to it!

- Vice Mag’s Conor Creighton takes us along on his tour of sex toy maker Fun Factory’s, well, fun factory in North Germany.  Check out the super neat picture (including the one above, the cool quotes and a insider look at the birthplace of some of the best toys out there! (via LizLangely, via WorldSexNews)

- Speaking of sex toys, the first academic, peer-reviewed study of vibrator use has found that you are almost just as likely to find a vibrator in an American household as you are to find a toaster or coffee maker!  (via HeartlessDoll)

- Another study has discovered that more sex can actually help a man with fertility problems.  My favorite part of the article is the aptly stated “If you want to have a baby, our advice is to do it often.” (via TheFrisky)

- Only one more study, I promise.  Researchers have found that women are happiest and have the best sex right before they turn 30.  I guess that would be considered the silver lining of getting closer to the big 3-0, huh?  (via Sunfiltered)

Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the midweek.  I know it’s a short week, but Monday went so fast that it seems like it was pretty much a dream, and we are back again with looking forward to Friday at 5.  No worries though, because it’s Humpday and it’s time to celebrate with a little link lovin’.

Let’s get to it!

- The Air Sex World Championships are hitting the road in search of 2009 champ!  Like air guitar, but sexier, air sex is all about playing with something that isn’t there- be it bass or boobs (like pictured above). The tour is stopping at 15 U.S. cities (sadly skipping Philly) to find the best of the best.  Could you be the next Air Sex Champion?  (via TinyNibbles)

- Porn star Stormy Daniels is thinking about running for Senate.  The AP reports that Daniels is seriously considering the race and has formed a committee to look into running for the seat held by Louisiana Republican David Vitter.  While it’s a little unconventional, sure, the way I see it is, if the Terminator can govern California, I see no reason why this can’t happen.  Dream big!  (via TinyNibbles)

- The Frisky (and their commenters) let us in on those three little words they never want to hear after sex.  My favorite awful three worder would have to be:  “Oh… that’s it?”  Priceless!

Happy Hump Day!  Welcome back to Wednesday, the hump-tastic day of the week when we celebrate all things sexy. Well, we really celebrate the sexy every day, but today is extra special because it’s time for our mid-week link lovin’!

Let’s get to it!

- Today is also Earth Day (which we will post more on in a bit), so get your green sexiness on with eco friendly sex toys!  Wind-up vibes, solar panels and organic lubes, oh my! 

- Sure porno is all about shaved pubic hair, but what about what your average Joe?  The Google search seems to find just the opposite is true.  (via TheFrisky)

- Air Sex.  Yep, just like air guitar, but sex!  Holy crap that’s an awesome idea.  I even found a video from last year’s World Championships. I want to go to there. This is the ONLY time I’ve ever wished to be in Texas.  (via Sundance)

- Finally, someone is addressing the Gay Choreographed Rain Army issue that is plaguing this country!  And you thought gays marrying was gonna be the bad part. Oooh boy! (In response to this.)  (via Feministing)

-  Sex is pretty much awesome wherever you have it, but some places are definitely not as much fun as others… even though you really want them to be.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you… 

-  If you are thinking about getting into lesbian porn but aren’t sure how, here’s your chance!  Madison Young, Syd Blakovich and Jiz Lee – where do I sign up?!? (ok, not really, I’m totally happy with being on this side of the screen)

-  Sure long distance couples can web cam, chat and talk on the phone, but can they draw on each other with light?  The answer is actually yes, with Mutsugoto, a device that let’s people use light to draw on each other’s bodies and beds from afar.  As interesting as this technology is, I’m not sure if it beat hearing and watching your partner cum via the web…  (via The Frisky)

-  CalExotics recently debuted an awesome new sex toy accessory that I’m suprised has yet to be created : the Toy Cover!  An alternative to using a condom, the toy cover works exactly the same way, except without the pre-lubbed inside or the reservoir tip.  What a smart and needed invention.  They also released a toy cleaner.

Hope that gets you through til the weekend!

I am a thankful, thankful girl.  Not only do I get to watch porn all day long and write about sex for all you guys, I get to watch porn all day and write about sex for you all and get PAID to do it.  Um… and I get to review sex toys.  I win!!!  So, like I said, I have a lot to be thankful for.  But aside from being super thankful of my job, here – in no particular order – are a few other things I am thankful for:

njoy Toys. Holy stainless steel dildos and butt plugs galore. These heavy little guys are responsible for many a thankful night in the old Bauchery household. This is the Pure Wand.  My most favoritest toy.

Ditto for the We Vibe. Hands-free clit and g-spot vibe + harness w/ dildo = Total Awesomeness For Everyone Involved.

I’m thankful for some states, like Connecticut, making gay marriage legal. California is awesome too, except that whole Prop 8 thing. Man, that Prop can suck it.

I’m pretty thankful for queer sex. Well, all sex really, but I happen to especially like the queer kind. What I can say, I’m a big lezzie queer.

I’m thankful for Michelle Aston, obviously. I can’t seem to make one damn list without include this dreamboat. I guess there are worse things…

aaaand pretty much everything else The Porn Librarian said too.

Ok, that’s just a little slice of what’s got me thanking my turkey tomorrow.  And of course I’m also thankful for my family, my friends and my amazing girlfriend… and that I will be done grad school in a few days. 

Have A Very Happy Thanksgiving!!

xoxo

Connecticut’s Supreme Court overturned the state’s same-sex marriage ban today!  Conn. is now the third state to deem the ban unconstitutional and let us homos get hitched legally. Yay Connecticut!  And while I’m not all that gung-ho on any marriage really, I get excited when I see gay rights moving in the right direction.  Now all we need is a president that actually backs gay marriage and stops with this whole “marriage sould be one man and one woman” crap. Bo-ring.

Anyway, yay Connecticut!

that we like this priest:

(who came out in favor of gay marriage, as well as out of the closet)

way better than this one:

(who blogged this recently:

‘It is time that religious believers began to recommend… discouragements of homosexual practices after the style of warnings on cigarette packets.

‘Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO KILLS.’ )

Yeah… no contest there really.  And we definitely agree that this one has crazy eyes.

J.D. mentioned Del Martin’s passing late yesterday, but I just wanted to link out to a great piece over at Jezebel.

I learned a lot about this pioneer and figured that others would be interested.

Here’s an excerpt:

It’s kind of hard to find an LGBT cause — or women’s cause, for that matter — in which Del Martin wasn’t a pioneer. In addition to the Daughters of Bilitis, which hosted public forums, provided support to individual women, and published a magazine called The Ladder, Martin also helped found the Lesbian Mother’s Union and America’s first gay political club, the Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club. She campaigned to get the American Psychological Association to remove homsexuality from its list of mental illnesses, and she co-founded several advocacy groups for battered women.
