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!
- 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)
- 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.
Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the midweek stretch. Today is 09/09/09, which, coupled with the shortened week, means that today is an extra special Humpday. Humpday Extraordinaire! Let’s celebrate this super exciting day the best way we know how, with a little Link Lovin’! We’ve traveled to the end of the Internet per usual to bring you the best of the best of what’s out there. Enjoy!
- These days, safe sex ads are getting more and more brazen in their attempts to ditch the sugar-coating and get their point across. The Frisky rounded up the 12 craziest ones – including two that feature Hitler… which is enough to put the breaks on feeling sexy at all. Seriously, who wants to think about Hitler before they get busy. I guess the ad works.
Germany wants to keep junk away from your junk. A new health initiative is paying people 40 GBP (about $56) to hand over their old vibrators in hopes that they will go out and buy shiny new sex toys instead. The idea is to get rid of all those old toys made of the kinds of plastic that can harm users by leaking gross crap into their bodies (can we say phthalates!). The materials had already been banned from children’s toys and surgical instruments, so it was only right that girly (and boy) bits be spared too. Sigh, if only the American gov would get on the bandwagon and promote healthy sexuality too. Keeping my fingers crossed!
ps. On first read, I thought the article said Australian times and I had the best post title – “Down Under Knows What’s Up.” Isn’t that clever. Too bad I had to go read it again and get the facts straight. Oh well.
I’m under the firm belief that with sex toys, sometimes less is more. I’m not talking about less inches or vibration patterns, that would be crazy – I’m talking sheer aesthetics.
I’m more of a
kinda gal, so my eyes totally crossed when I saw this
on Violet Blue’s blog. Holy crap am I still trying to figure out what it is. I think it has something to do with titty fucking (yeah, I’m not so down with that phrase either, but I couldn’t find an alternative), but I have no idea what’s with the vagina attached and the penis sticking out. Totally creepy.
Anyway, check out this Violet Blue post for a gallery of other scary sex toys. Be prepared to walk around with a WTF expression on your face for the rest of the day.
oh, and Happy Birthday Violet Blue! Maybe we should get her one of these as a gift?
