Last night I was talking to a very good friend of mine who shares my love of porn.
She said lately she has been wanting to try something that she's seen in the movies.
"Bondage?" I ask.
"I want to be fucked with a strap-on," she said. "I just want it to be a one time thing. It looks like so much fun."
"Yeah, if Nina Hartley is wearing the strap-on," I replied.
"She does toss those women around and she loves what she does. But I think it would be best if I do it with someone who's just curious, like me."
"But what if she sucks at it? Don't you think you ought to do it with someone who knows how to work the equipment?"
"That's a good point."
"You don't need Katy Perry for this. You need Nina Hartley."
After our conversation ended, I started thinking about women and sex. And it hit me, everybody always wants to have sex with a woman. What is it about our bodies that draw both sexes to us?
At some point do all women want to get it on with another girl? And if we want to be with another woman, why is it that we have to use male shaped toys? Like a strap-on fuck -- isn't that just a girl playing "daddy?"
I hope my friend has fun finding her strap-on lova. I wonder if they will video tape it, because I'd like to watch.
The other day, I was sitting in my favorite restaurant when I heard an interesting conversation.
Two ladies were hunkered over a table talking about one of the girl's "relationship."
Girl 1: "Have you and Ron made up yet?"
Girl 2: "Yes, he came over last night, well early this morning with a rose and he said he was sorry."
Girl 1: "Did he explain why a female answered his cell phone? I mean, that's his private phone so something must have been going on?"
Girl 2: "It was his cousin or something. She was really close to his wife and she doesn't like him seeing other people."
Girl 1: "He was married?"
Girl 2 nods. "He said that relationship is over and when he get's his money together he's going to file for a divorce. He lives with his cousin and her husband."
Girl 1 takes a sip from her glass and leans back in her chair. "So, he's married? Are you like his mistress?"
Girl 2 laughs nervously. "He's separated."
Girl 1 shakes her head. "You're crazy. Until the divorce papers are signed he's married and you are the other woman."
Girl 2 looks visibly shaken and before I can hear the rest of the conversation, my waiter shows up to tell me the specials. Damn.
Being the other woman somteimes gives a woman a slight sense of power. She thinks that she's giving the man something he can't get from anywhere else.
Often, she's only short changing herself because it is cheaper to stay married and cheat than to get a divorce and start a new relationship. And if said cheater decides to leave his woman and become your man, how long do you think it will be before he's creeping out on you?
But why do men cheat? Some say it's biology, others say it's because women outnumber men. I say it's because women allow men to behave badly and forgive them their trespasses.
You can't change a cheater, and as long as some woman is willing to let him play, he's going to.
The other woman may get branded with a scarlet letter and called all kinds of sluts and whores, but in the end, it's the man who made a commitment to his woman. Shouldn't he be held to a higher standard?
In North Carolina, you can be sued for being the other woman. Under the alienation of affection law, you can seek damages from the person who "broke up" your marriage.
And you don't even have to prove that your spouse was having sex with the other person. I bet Jennifer Aniston wishes she'd married Brad Pitt in Charlotte.
Seattle pastor Mark Driscoll responded to the question:
Pastor Mark, is masturbation a valid form of birth control?Driscoll doesnt miss a beat: I had one guy quote Ecclesiastes 9:10, which says, Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.
Ah, if only all church services were like this.
2009 is here and like most people, I have a friend who has decided that this is the last year he will be single.
Good for him. I'm just hoping 2009 will be better for him than 2008 was. Last year, he decided to try online dating.
Online dating is the new singles bar. With sites like Match.com and eHarmony.com, you're sure to find someone to end your singleness. However, these sites aren't cheap. And if you're on a budget, you might try something that's free.
If you do, beware.
This brings me back to my friend and his quest for love. He went to Craig's List. There he met a girl, who said she was a student at a local university. He said they e-mailed each other and talked on the phone for a few weeks before meeting.
The first time they met, he said they had sex. Then he showed me the pictures. Let's just say, I saw a side of my homeboy that I never wanted to see. You know, the naked side.
Anyway, when he returned home the following evening, someone had kicked his door in. Taken was the video camera that he and Ms. Craig's List used the night before to make a movie of their sexual activity.
His credit card, some coins and cash were also missing. My first question was, how do you know she did it?
Well, he said, he lives on the third floor of his building. Not many random robbers pick the third floor units. True.
And, he added, she called him around 10:30 a.m. and that was when one of his neighbors saw two guys knocking on his door. She has two brothers, he revealed.
When she was inside his apartment, before they started having sex, she kept commenting on how nice his place was. Of course, I told him, hindsight is 20/20. And he admits that he was thinking about head, not using his head.
Besides, she had been talking a lot of junk about him not being able to handle her and he had to prove her wrong. It's a good thing he had renter's insurance.
Later, I thought to myself, it's funny how women are always being warned about online dating, but men aren't.
But safety knows no sex. So, if you want to meet someone new via the worldwide web, be safe.
And whatever you do, don't bring a one night stand home. That's why the Motel 6 leaves the light on for you.
I was surfing the Internet this weekend and came across an old study that identifies 237 reasons why people have sex.
Expressing love and showing affection were in the top 10 for both men and women, but they did take a back seat to the clear No. 1: "I was attracted to the person."Researchers at the University of Texas spent five years and their own money to study the overlooked "why" behind sex while others were spending their time on the "how."
"It's refuted a lot of gender stereotypes ... that men only want sex for the physical pleasure and women want love," said University of Texas clinical psychology professor Cindy Meston, the study's co-author. "That's not what I came up with in my findings."
What was the most interesting and possibly most disturbing part of all of this are the bottom 10 reasons why men and women have sex with each other.
BOTTOM 10 REASONS TO HAVE SEX FOR MEN1. The person offered to give me drugs for doing it.
2. I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease.
3. I wanted to punish myself.
4. I wanted to break up my relationship.
5. I wanted to get a job.
6. It was an initiation rite
7. Someone offered me money
8. I was afraid to say "no" due to possibility of physical harm
9. To make money
10. To feel closer to God

There are some sick people out there, so it is important to make sure the person you're having sex with isn't a total nut job. Who wants to spread an STD? Not only is it morally wrong, in some cases it's illegal.
After reading this report, I remembered the case of the "Trashman." Last year he punked the world by going on YouTube and claiming to have infected 1,500 women with HIV.
His videos have been removed, but even though his videos were a hoax, there are people out there who would spread STDs as if they were planting seeds.
So, why do we have sex? Just for the pleasure? To spread some pain? To show someone we care?
No matter why we have sex, we should seriously be concerned about who we're having sex with.
Believe it or not, men don't always want to have sex. He's not a human vibrator. At least that's what they want us to believe.
Seriously, though, there are serious mistakes that women make during sex.
It was pretty funny that I found this article in my inbox today because while I was reading it, my ear was getting bent by a friend of mine.
L made many of the mistakes identified in the article. She allowed a booty call to become something more. She claimed that she was only sleeping with S because she needed a release. But he was turning her apartment into his vacation get away. After sex, he'd get up and eat ice cream and cookies as if he was paying for groceries.
Sex Mistake #10: Blundering a booty call.
LifeScript asked several sex experts for their tips for no-strings nookie:
- Make sure youre both in it just for the sex. If one person is clearly looking for something more than a hook-up, its rude to string them along with a series of booty calls, says Amber Madison, author of Hooking Up: A Girls All-Out Guide To Sex and Sexuality (Prometheus Books).
Limit the drunken 3 a.m. phone calls. Thats kind of when [flings] happen, says Josey Vogels, author of Bedside Manners: Sex Etiquette Made Easy (HarperCollins). But waking someone up every Friday and Saturday night might be abusing your booty call privileges a bit.
But we're all adults, right? Why is it that when it comes to sex, we act like children? Guys, let me let you in on a little secret, all women who fuck you don't want to marry you. If you're honest on the front end, it probably won't stop you from getting the nookie.
Some women don't mind sharing. While, it's not something I would advise, there are a few women out there who like it better when their partner isn't around all the time. But beware, Fatal Attraction, may not be based on a true story, but it has been known to happen in real life. Creative Loafing wrote about it earlier this year.
So, maybe we're all making mistakes before we get into bed because we're not talking about what really matters.
Picture it, last night in a king-sized bed.
You and your partner had the best, wettest and hottest sex. You connected mind, body and soul. He pulled out some Kama Sutra moves and you matched him stroke for stroke.
Then it was over and there was a huge wet spot on the sheets. Now, you're doing everything in your power not to end up sleeping in it. He glances at it and moves to the driest spot in the bed, looking over his shoulder saying, "You made it, you sleep in it."
Damn it! If it wasn't 3 in the morning, you'd be happy to change the sheets, but you're tired and all you want to do is sleep. But there is no effing way that you're sleeping in the wet spot.
So, what do you do?
There are love pads. Yes, you read that right. But who has those things lying around?
You could bitch and moan for the next 20 minutes -- but, hello, you want to protect the afterglow, don't you. There is nothing sexy about arguing after climaxing. Still, you don't want to sleep in the wet spot and he's damn near in a coma now as you stand over the bed grimacing at the prospect of lying in all that love juice.
This guy says you should put a towel over the wet spot and pretend you're spending the night at the beach.
Ugh, no.
For $36, you can get Luv Linens. That's a lot for some damned sheets.
So, I guess that means the only thing to do is fight over the wet spot, afterglow be damned.
I had the pleasure of sipping coffee at a nice little shop in Charlotte a few days ago with one of my good friends, Y.
He's a "man's man" who has had more sex than Ron Jeremy, so it's not surprising that when I told him I was writing this blog he had a great idea for a post.
"Most women don't know how to suck dick," he said.
"Since I don't have a dick, I've never noticed," is what I started to say, but I just cocked (pun intended) my head to the side and replied, "Really? What does it take to give a good blow job?"
"If you don't know what you're doing, the old trick is to get a banana, go down on the banana and if you can taste it, you don't know what you're doing."
(Yes, I went home with a bunch of bananas to test my technique and I didn't taste it!)
"Some women use teeth and some women use their hands[when they are giving head], and I guess they think the more painful it is that they're doing something," he said.
I wondered and asked, if it's that bad, why doesn't he tell her to stop?
Y said, "Guys tolerate it because they are getting their dick sucked. That's the main objective. Honestly, if a guy can't teach her (the proper technique) then she can watch porn, because there are some dick sucking videos out there."
And most adult shops in Charlotte have those couple DVDs that show her as well as him what to do to give pleasure to their partner.
But Y has some quick tips from his own experiences:
It's hard out there, money is tight and companies are collapsing around us. Unless you are a bankers or an auto worker, you probably still have a hold, no matter how slippery it is, on your job.
But what about your partner?
Has he or she been laid off and now you two are a one income couple or family? Does it stress you out that you get up every morning to go to work and he or she gets on the Internet to find a job or worse still, sleeps in?
Your relationship can beat the recession, according to a CNN report, if you are willing to work at it with your partner.
If you're concerned about your financial future together, but you're not willing to end your relationship as a result, consider having a series of sit-down financial planning sessions with your partner in order to ensure you'll make it through the crisis he or she is experiencing and discuss future financial goals and methods to reaching a stable place.
The recession could highlight other problems that have been bubbling under the surface of your relationship as well.
It's hard to want to work something out with a person you were ready to kick out of your life three months ago, but since he or she is unemployed, you'd feel guilty putting them out on the street.
Though it makes you feel a little guilty, you're beginning to re-evaluate whether, going forward, his or her financial situation will be able to provide or assist you with living the kind of lifestyle you'd like -- or at least to which you've become accustomed.Are you being cold and superficial or wise and practical?
If a relationship wasn't working when both of you had jobs, it's probably going to get worse and it doesn't make you a bad person to leave. A relationship is more than a paycheck and if there was an emotional disconnect before, this will just add to it. Truth of the matter is, both of you could benefit from a break up.
Some times I wonder how I'm drawn into the conversations that I have. For instance, around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, I get a phone call from a friend in Atlanta.
During the course of our phone call, we ended up talking about the fact that a guy she has a huge crush on asked her to participate in a threesome.
"What did you say?" I asked her.
"I said hell no."
"Well, was it going to be two men or you and another girl?"
"It was going to be me and some other girl. But I was tempted to tell him that he can barely satisfy one woman. What the hell is he going to do with two?"
Interesting question, I thought. Most men would like to think they are a stud in bed, but generally, the man comes first. But as I listened to my friend talk about her invitation to a threesome, I thought about the converstation I had a Starbuck's the day before. A male friend of mine had a threesome that he really enjoyed.
But who does the threesome really benefit? The women or the man getting all the attention? And why are men willing to hop into bed with two women but balk at the idea of two men and one woman?
With all this threesome talk going on around me, I shouldn't have been surprised when I got a call from my ex-boyfriend on Sunday. Guess what he wanted to know, if I would be the third party in a threesome with he and his girlfriend.
My reply?
"How about you join me and my boyfriend?"
