I have recently fallen in love with Yoga.  I took it a handful of times 7 or 8 years ago, I found it to be a bit uncomfortable and it just wasn’t for me.  At one of my crankier moments, in a fit of stress and anxiety, someone told me to go take Yoga.  I’m pretty sure it was their way of telling me I was being a bitch, but it isn’t as if it wasn’t true.  I took myself to Yoga the very next day, the day after that and a few days after that.   I love Yoga.

I work out everyday.  I push myself.  I sweat.  I can do close to 80 push-ups in 2 minutes (not the wussy knee push-ups).  Yoga is different.  I connect with my body in different ways.  I feel rejuvenated and a bit more alert after each class.  What I have yet to experience (in class) is an orgasm or the “Yogasm” if you will.

When I came across this article in Jezebel I immediately clicked and read and then went to their source, The Daily Beast, to read a little more.

“One of yoga’s goals is to strengthen the muscles in and around the genitalia, or the mula bandha. It’s like doing advanced kegels, but with an instructor’s guidance and the implementation of specific breathing techniques. Ideally, a yogi engages mula bandha throughout a majority of his or her practice, which is equivalent to heavy weightlifting for the genitals.”

Much like doing Kegel exercises, your yoga practice and strengthening your mula bandha can help you have better orgasms outside of the yoga studio.  Even if you aren’t hit with a surprise O in the middle of downward dog, your sex life could greatly improve overall.  Men can get in on the yoga sex goodness as well.  They may not buckle in ecstasy while opening up the heart, but they can enjoy a better sex life.

The key to engaging mula bandha is to isolate the perineum, a crucial area of sexual pleasure for women and men, according to South African tantric master Alan Finger, founder of ISHTA (Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra and Ayurveda) Yoga. When a man draws his sexual energy in, and up toward his navel, says Finger, he increases his ability to prolong his stamina in the bedroom.

I for one can’t figure out why one wouldn’t want to get in on the yoga goodness. Improve your mind body connection AND have better orgasms.  I’m in.  If I do ever experience the “Yogasm” I will definitely report back.  In the mean time, read the articles in Jezebel and The Daily Beast.

Slutwalk Philadelphia is happening tomorrow!  If you’re in the area, I suggest you join us.  Not familiar?  A Toronto police officer said that women should avoid dressing likes sluts in order to avoid getting raped.  Wha?  Really?  It’s the clothes that get you raped?  Allllllright.  So the rapist isn’t to blame? Hmmm.  This has sparked protests and awareness around the world and the official Slutwalk has come to my town.

This is a corporate blog, so I don’t get to serious when it comes to social issues as I do in my “real life”.  But, I had to mention this and do my part to spread the word.  You can go to the Facebook page to get the details.  Be there and let your slut pride fly!

SexToys.com recently added the WetForHer Two to their inventory of of products so I thought I would take a minute to let you know what the ladies at WetForHer are all about.

The company started in France in 2009 and prides itself on making sex toys by women for women. Their products are made with lesbians in mind, with the notion that they are discovering “fun new horizons” that the hetero sex toy market has missed out on. They approach their creations with “humor and elegance”.

Anyone who uses the term “finger bang” in their product description is okay by me.

Here is some information provided by the manufacturer, but you should also take a look at some WetForHer Two review over at HotMoviesForHer.

The WetForHer Two is an amazing device made by women, for women to use on women. The Two is a lesbian-based sex toy that speaks not only for femme relationships, but for hetero and bi as well.

The toy is based on two fingers, side by side in the position to finger bang. The silicone Two is half sleeve and half finger-extension.

Slip on the Two, use water-based lube if you need any, and feel your way around. Discover your partner. It will slip in very nicely and if you turn the sleeve in different directions, the Two will just find more angles to please.

G-spot and uterine orgasms are right at your partners fingertips.

- 100% silicone
- Phthalates free

Color: Pink
Length: 5.5 inches
Width: 1 1/4 inches – 1.5 inches

At the very least, I can say the Two is definitely a unique sex toy.  I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

I generally think its best to take sex advice with a grain of salt.  Everything doesn’t apply to everyone, as everyone’s likes and dislikes vary.  For someone who swims in the deep end of the sexual adventure pool, advice on sex toys for beginners won’t necessarily apply.  For someone who prefers their sex on the vanilla side, information on rope bondage is probably going to be a little intimidating.

On the other hand, there are often bits of advice that ring true no matter what.

This leads me to The Frisky’s 10 Examples Of Poor Sex Etiquette.  It is a list of sex no-no’s aimed at hetero males, but I think everyone can take a little something from it.  It’s a funny little informational piece, but there is truth and righteousness in the Cosmo-esque set of rules.  One in particular was worth a rant.

#7 Not having any condoms on hand and saying, “It’s OK, I’ll pull out!”  Bitch, please! No condoms on hand, no sex. You are delusional if you think otherwise.

You’re probably saying, “of course I’d never have sex with a new guy without a condom“.  I’m sure you have every intention of keeping that policy, but when things get hot and heavy, it’s hard to make the right decisions.  When all you want is to have a hot and sweaty romp with this really hot guy that knows exactly what you want to hear and looks at you like you’re the high priestess of all sexual godesses in the universe.  Or, maybe you don’t want to “upset him” or you worry that he won’t want to go out with you again.  Think about it this way, if he wouldn’t go out with you again because you wouldn’t have sex without a condom, do you really want to date him?  If you putting your health (and his health) and safety first is a turn off, then he doesn’t sound worthy of your attention to begin with.

I’ll wrap up this rant by saying that my point is that you shouldn’t be afraid to put a stop to sex if you don’t have a condom on hand.  We all know that the pull-out method doesn’t work.  It isn’t 1954.  Respect yourself.

I have talked a little about vibrator commercials in the past, but I thought I’d go ahead and revisit the topic. Recently The Young Turks did a segment about Trojan’s television campaign. The ads are corny, but I’m definitely okay with sex toys pushing their way into the main stream. I found it interesting that Trojan made some “concessions” and promised never to actually use the word “vibrator” or actually show the vibrator itself. It’s not surprising, but it’s still interesting. Check it out:

If you’d like to see an actual Trojan vibe, go ahead and take a look at the Trojan Her Pleasure Vibrating Touch.
It comes with a condom for your safer sex needs!

In case you missed some interesting articles from the recent sex related headlines, don’t panic!  I got you covered.

“Do not get between an angry European and his fine art nudes!” The Famous Vagina Painting That Facebook Doesn’t Want You To See on Gawker tells the tale of users suing Facebook for deleting their profiles after using The Origin Of The World (crotch painting seen above) as their profile picture. I’m not sure which is more lame, suing Facebook for deleting your account or Facebook banning vag pictures.

What is this pegging you speak of? The Frisky explains it from the mind of a man.  I was a bit put off by the first paragraph or two, but it turned out to be a funny article written with honesty and an open mind.  I definitely laughed out loud more than a few times.  Does the term “butt-foolery” sell you?

The Feminist Porn Awards are happening this weekend and my good friend, also know as my work wife, J.D. Bauchery of Hot Movies For Her is presenting an award!  I miss staring longingly into her eyes as we work the day away in the land of sex toys and porn, but I’m super excited about this momentous occasion.  She is all up in the mix with the who’s who in smart and sexy porn.

Whether it is from a massage, a hug, holding hands or sex, Touching Makes You Healthier.  Masturbation totally counts.  See what CNN has to say about it.  (Via Bitch Magazine)

I’ll end this link love on a nice note… Pamela Madsen wrote a beautiful post on Psychology Today pondering “sex as the gateway drug to personal transformation”.  I’m quite certain she is on to something.  Read Is Sex The Key?

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

I was checking out yesterday’s Link Love over at HotMoviesForHer and I was super excited to see the trailer for Sticky: A Documentary on Masturbation.  It looks fantastic.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!

A Russian bomb squad was called into a post office when a “strange ticking sound” caused serious concern.  The building was evacuated, officials were called, the whole nine.

Was it a bomb?  Nope.  It was a vibrator.  I don’t suppose you guessed that.

I say take preventative measures and purchase a vibrator with lockable controls.  You won’t have to worry about running out of vibe juice nor will you have that whole bomb scare thing weighing on you.  Who makes such a vibrator?  Lelo.  All of their vibes are lockable.  You know they have what you need.  They are the masters of vibrator controls.  Plus, the intuitive interface makes going back to your favorite settings super easy.

Lelo makes a variety of awesome toys.  Take a gander and see which one tickles your fancy.  The Gigi is a tried and true favorite for many.  It is often said to be the g-spot vibe to end all g-spot vibes.  Their newer toys are pretty fabulous too.  The Siri is a great massager that features a higher powered motor when compared to its predecessors.  It’s the bomb!  Ha!  I couldn’t resist.

Yep, I’m ending on that note.
