In Horny, Desperate Times…

So, lots of snow fell and people got pretty antsy. In preparation for some idle time on their hands, some folks—who earn points for planning ahead—took to Craigslist to ensure that their blizzard idle time was spent with someone else’s hands...and cock...and feet...and breasts...and more and more and more. You have to wonder how successful the snow buddy attempts were...or why they would take the chance of being stuck in their home with a stranger for days. I’m Canadian. I’ve been snowed in with family and people I love. Let me tell you, if it weren’t for that familial bond, there might have been issues. I hope the sex was really worth it for these people!

Finding a Home

Speaking of getting hot and heavy in cold times, kudos to the Alaska Center for Alternative Lifestyles. After a long, hard search and even more hard work in preparation, ACAL will open their doors with a great play and event space. Those of us in bigger, urban centers are lucky enough to take our sex spaces for granted. We get to go when we want and sometimes have a good variety of places to chose from. Smaller communities really need a rallying place—a space that offers comfort, community, and sexy times. In you find your kinky self in Anchorage, check it out! Congrats!

Immortalized Bodies

It seems a little hard to believe, but over the past couple weeks two videos have come out discussing women who had their naughty bits turned into sex toys. First, there is this charming video of Eufrat Mai, one of Fleshlight’s vulva models as she tours the facility in Spain where the popular masturbation sleeves are produced. She has a great sex-positive attitude and seems to take great joy in learning about the process and how her "vulva" is beneficial to customers. Then, along comes this hilarious video of model Rayna Terror getting a cast of her anus to create an immortal bronze sculpture of her butthole. Rayna’s adventure is much more on the silly side. The artist, Irvin, is both hilarious and kinda creepy at times. The great thing? Both videos are very body positive!

Shrinking Violets?

For most people who are equipped with a penis, the fear of not measuring up to standards is implanted in our psyches early in life. So much of our culture is built around the idea that a big cock is the only worthy cock and that wee little wienies are woefully worrisome. It's so worrisome that the belief has become concerning: that penises are getting smaller. Somehow, our biology, evolution, or other factors are causing diminishing dick size. Not so, says Dr. Phil Hammond. In fact, cocks have always come in a wide variety of sizes and will continue to do so. Whether yours is big or small, the bigger concern is having it not work at all. Dr. Hammond notes that "a good erection is a sign of good physical and mental health." So, however big or small your penis is, taking care of yourself can go a long way to making it truly impressive.

Bedside Manners?

How would you react to your partner masturbating in bed—while you’re also sleeping in that bed? I appreciate how this article offers up many different ideas of how to handle this encounter. Sure, lending a hand, ignoring it, or even having a chuckle are great thoughts; but the most useful suggestion is to discuss it the next day. Once you’ve entered coupled cohabitation, finding time and space to get your own rocks off is a challenge. Most people will probably stick to shower time, but that doesn’t work for everyone (hand up here). Plus, we grow up masturbating in bed. For most, it is the comfort zone of self-love. However, if you have a significant issue with your partner’s bed jiggling, discuss it and work through it.

Road Trip?

So, who’s up for a trip to Portland?
