I'm always online just looking for things.
Today I came across what I thought would be a cute website, Nawtythings.
It was cute until I saw an article about vibrator instructions for women.
All you really need to know about using a vibrator is "Do What Feels Good", "Keep it Clean" and if it is "Not Water-Proof" don't put it in water. Now that you have the very simple rules - a vibrator is designed to stimulate. It does a better job of stimulating than a tongue, fingers, or any inanimate object.
If that is all you need to know, then why is this article so long? Did the writer think women are so dense we don't know how to please ourselves--with or without a vibrator?
And why is it that women have to be taught about masturbation and men are never instructed on what they need to do to bring joy to their sticks?
Here's a news flash, women know how to make themselves feel good down there without detailed instructions.

The cyber beef between The Frisky and Cosmo is funny and oh so wrong.
Take the Frisky slap at Cosmo about celebrated sex positions that men hate. I know for a fact that I was introduced to one of these positions by a man, so I doubt that he was considered when they wrote this article.
But it goes a little something like this:
With that being said, heres a look at some common sex positions that men dont necessarily appreciate in the way that sex columnists tend to indicate that we do.1. Reverse cowgirl. This particular position is endorsed ad infinitum in issues of magazines like Cosmopolitan dating back to roughly the 1400s, before sex even existed. The woman is on top and is facing away from the man. Magazines are quick to point out that this gives the guy a view of your ass.
The thing is, though, most men would rather be looking at the front of you, and this particular position greatly improves the chances of women suddenly sitting on our penises. This position is like walking a sexual tightrope. Dont be surprised if you look back and see us praying.
2. Standing against a wall. Its basically doggy style, only youre both standing. This creates considerable embarrassment for the man if hes not very tall, or even if hes about the same height as the woman. Theres also not a lot of thrusting room. Well be pining for an actual bed in no time. Besides, if youre over at our place, we really dont want you to see how completely filthy the walls arenot filthy in a sexy way, filthy more in an Oh God, I hope I dont contract lockjaw way.
3. Knees over the head. Another big Cosmo suggestion, for flexible women, is the knees-over-the-head position. Basically, the woman is in an extended crunch while the man tries to hold his balance and smells the womans feet. Needless to say, its not a great position after a long night of dancing, drinking, or both. Despite what the magazines say, the enhanced pressure doesnt make any difference to dudes. Its basically missionary position with gymnastics. Not so much sexy as confusing.
4. Sex on furniture. Generally speaking, any sexual position that incorporates furniture other than a bed can become a problem easily. Heavyset guys will traumatically remember scenes of Chris Farley bursting through a table on Saturday Night Live, and the thinner guys will worry about splinters or accidentally tipping over, no matter whos on top or in front or leaning back or whatever. Furniture just seems to get in the way for guys. Though we wont refuse sex when youre standing on a chair or balancing on a glass table, well be anxious the whole time, both about breaking you, breaking ourselves and breaking that damn IKEA furniture that we just assembled last week.

A funny thing happened to T this weekend. He got caught by his young daughter in bed with his girlfriend. Granted, at the time he and his girlfriend were fully clothed and just starting to get into the act, with some kissing and hands in places his daughter shouldn't have seen.
But he froze after the little girl left the room and thought about what had just happened. He said his girlfriend asked him why didn't he close the door and asked him did he think his daughter didn't know he had sex.
T was honest and said, "I don't like to think about her knowing what sex is right now."
I love T, I think he's a great father who has taken on the responsibility of being a single father with full custody; but he's living in a dream world.
Back in the day before the Internet, parents could play the "we'll talk about sex when you're older" game. Nowadays, sex is at the click of a mouse or a remote control. (Have you seen Cinemax after 10 p.m.? I bet your kids have.)
Shouldn't parents control the message about sex? No way should T had had that conversation in front of his horny girlfriend, but I'm willing to bed that his 10-year-old knew what was about to be going on in that bedroom.
Parents have to stop hiding sex from their kids and open up a dialogue that will teach them the truth about sex. How it is for older (much older than 10) people and the good, bad and ugly about it. Burying your head in the sand is not an option.
All too often parents focus on molestation when they talk to their daughters about sex. They focus on the bad things that can happen and some women grow up totally unaware that their sexuality is theirs and not a boy's who has to her have right now or his balls will explode or turn blue.
Some girls grow up thinking sex is a game. Remember the story about the girls who were upset because their names didn't appear on a slut list circulating around their high school?
Kids aren't getting a good message from their parents about sex and that allows their friends and the media to fill their heads with what they think about sex. I'm willing to bet that it doesn't jive with what you as a parent think about sex. But if you don't control the message and talk openly and honestly about sex with your kids, then it's your own damned fault.

A few brave souls opened up to a man on the street question about getting it on in Charlotte ... and when I say a few, I mean two.
I'm not counting the "you offering?" ones.
So, let's talk about sex, shall we?
A woman at Starbucks laughed then said:
"I haven't had good sex in three years. I was at a club and met a guy who was a slick talker ,and I decided to take him back to my place for a one-night stand. I hadn't done that since college, and it was the best sex because we both wanted to get pleased. When it was over, no cuddling and no promises that would later be broken. Just goodbye after six or seven orgasms. It was great. Now that I'm in a relationship with a man who has kids, sex is scheduled and not spontaneous. One orgasm at the most. Hey, you're not going to use my name in this are you?"
A man in Uptown said:
"Sex is overrated. Sometimes women talk about it and make you think they know magic, but when you get right down to it, you're doing all the work and she's laying there moaning."
"Are you married?" asked.
"Yeah," he said. "But I remember what it was like before I got a ring on my finger and getting married was the best thing that happened to my sex life. I get to go out and flirt and then go home to a sure thing on most nights."
So, what's the deal with sex in the Q.C.? Are we to afraid to talk about it in detail because we're not having it or because we keep all the juicy details to ourselves in the south?
Charlotte, believe it or not, is a hot bed for sex. Don't believe me? Then check out a party at the Estate. Or go to The Men's Club on Couple's Night, which is tonight. We're having sex in this city, but we're not really talking about it. At least not to the press.
Tomorrow night its going to be an Animal House at The Visulite when Big Mamma D brings back her award-winning House of Burlesque. This edition carries a toga-party-oriented theme (ala the Animal House reference). We caught up with the woman behind the tease and got the lowdown about her upcoming event.
Creative Loafing: How did you come up with the idea for a toga party?
Big Mamma D: Ideas kind of just come to me. I got a phone call in August from a lady who was a professor at UNC and she's doing a whole series on the history of human sexuality. She wanted me to come and teach for a day in my full get up, the whole deal. Burlesque lady walking around campus and teaching classes and I couldn't pass it up. While I was getting my material together, it just hit me. We had originally planned another theme for this show and since I hadn't launched it, I said "scrap that, we're doing a toga party." It's anything you can imagine. I even have a leopard print ladies suite ala Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate.
Why do you think burlesque and your shows stay so popular?
We are the thinking-person's porn, and I hate to call it porn. But we're the thinking-person's fun and frivolity. We may not be popular with the 22-year-olds who like to go to BarCharlotte. But the 40-year-olds who leave the kids at home and go out with their wives to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays and all that stuff, those are the people who are the long term. You get a lot of tease, you get a brief flash of pasty. We have a lot of fun, and we always poke fun at ourselves. There's a story behind every act, something that makes you think. You're not watching a girl walk out and drop her clothes. That's why the music is fun. We do a Venus act, you know with the Bananarama song "Venus"? Halfway through the act, she takes her leg and props it up on a chair and pulls out this big blue Venus razor and pretends to shave her leg. It's a joke and a play on pop culture because everybody has seen that stupid commercial.
Have you always had more women at your shows than men? (Note to guys looking to meet a woman who isn't your run of the mill type of person go to Big Mamma D's show)
It has. I was really shocked because I thought it was going to be a lot of guys and we'd get the really neat alternative followers, the more trendy people, the Plaza-Midwood, the NoDa, and it ended up being a really good mix. You can come to show and no one has to wait outside for the door to open any more. Girls and guys can come to show dressed up in different outfits. Girls come to show wearing that one corset that she splurged on that she can't wear anywhere else and here she comes to my club with a $300 corset on.
Because you have women of all shapes and sizes in your show, is that why so many women are drawn to the show?
I think so. I think everybody can identify with the average girl. As soon as she walks up in an evening gown covered in rhinestones, and she's just sparkling because she feels so great about herself, you love it. Everybody loves a confident woman. In April, I was a size 24 and after three years [the audience] still loves me for it. I walk out and I know who I am. People appreciate confidence and the beauty of every kind of woman, it doesn't matter what size you are.
So, do you want to see the Animal House of Burlesque, along with a wet toga contest at "halftime?" The head to the Visulite, Saturday night at 8 p.m. Advanced tickets for the show are $12. Tickets at the door are $15. Log on to www.bigmammasproductions.com for more information.
