			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m going to Giddy Up&#8230;&#8221; giggles Nikki Stevens, starlet of La Girls on a recent episode of the L Word.</p>
<p>Yes, the L Word. Despite what you like or don&#8217;t like about Jenny&#8230; or the series in general&#8230; there are millions of L Word fans. Including my straight roommates who ADORE the show for its drama. (And occasional sex scenes!)</p>
<p>One of such scenes featured the very hot, very sexy Outlaw&#8217;s <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-5-BL-0701" title="Annie-O Harness and other Sex Toys at Good Vibrations" target="_blank">Annie-O Harness</a> (GV sells it in black!). Strap ons! How exciting &#8212; the acute g-spot dildo, and this is even more exciting &#8212; LUBE! Jenny didn&#8217;t forget the lube! (I couldn&#8217;t catch what brand it was&#8230; can you tell?)</p>

By the way, Jenny&#8217;s &#8220;Lez Girls&#8221; is not to be confused with Katuko Kanai&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUBKRrIITyk">Le Girls</a>&#8220;&#8230; ; )<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My grandfather is driving and my grandmother is in the passenger seat. I sit in the back, reading. We’re taking the hour-long drive to visit relatives. As my grandfather pulls over and leaves the car to ask for directions, my grandmother swivels toward the backseat and asks, “What’s that you’re reading?”</p>
<p>I look up from my book and answer with a smile, “The Many Joys of Sex Toys.”</p>
<p>She recites a monologue of emotion:</p>
<p>Surprise: “What are you reading—a sex book??”<br />
Exasperated disapproval: “Oh, Zoe! Why are you reading that!?”<br />
And finally, curiosity: “Well, what’s in there anyway? What’s it about?”</p>
<p>“Well, gram, it’s a book about sex toys and creative ways of using them.”</p>
<p>“What—sex toy? Like what? What’s a sex toy?” She is flustered and speaks rapidly, loudly, but without anger, as she always does when processing an unfamiliar subject.</p>
<p>“You know, vibrators and—”</p>
<p>“So what does it say about… about sex toy?”</p>
<p>“Well…right now I’m reading about the G-spot—”</p>
<p>“The what-spot? G?”</p>
<p>“The G-spot,” I repeat, and ask sincerely, “Do you know what the G-spot is?”</p>
<p>The shrillness leaves her voice. She has forgotten herself.</p>
<p>“No. What is it?”</p>
<p>I explain to her the anatomy of the <a href="http://goodvibes.com/Content--How-tos--id-2172" title="GV: G-spot" target="_blank">G-spot</a>. “It responds well to pressure when you’re aroused. Some women really enjoy it.”</p>
<p>“And, … it’s inside?”</p>
<p>“That’s right”</p>
<p>“And… what do you…how do you… get to it?”</p>
<p>“Well, you could use your fingers, but a toy might work better, although really it depends on your anatomy.”</p>
<p>“Your anatomy?”</p>
<p>“I mean the way that your body is built. Everybody’s different so… some people might do fine with their own fingers, but other’s might need a toy, or someone else’s fingers, to reach their G-spot.”</p>
<p>My grandfather returns to the car, and my grandmother turns away sharply, like a child caught cheating in class: “Shh! Grandpa’s coming!—Don’t talk about it in front of him.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ask any of my coworkers what my favorite two topics of discussion are and they&#8217;re tell you:</p>
<p>Porn and Female Ejaculation.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;d love to spend this post ranting and raving about my favorite films and directors and stars, it&#8217;ll have to wait until another time, because today we&#8217;re gonna talk about Squirting.</p>
<p>There are a lot of politics around female ejaculation actually, which are interesting.  For a long time people have been hellbent on demonizing any juices a woman expels into the world. Menstrual blood: disgusting.  Piss: vulgar.  Pussy Discharge: diseased.  Spit: crude.  Tears: weakness.  Ejaculate: non-existent.  It&#8217;s funny that people are so ashamed of a woman secreting from her body, when men are so praised for doing so.  (Funny I didn&#8217;t mention lactation, perhaps because our existence depends upon it, men and women.)</p>
<p>In past eras it wasn&#8217;t always so.  Ejaculate in the ancient ages of many cultures was considered to be something divine, highly sought after and prized by the lovers of women.  I feel like we might be entering a new time of sexual awareness and acceptance at present.  People are more and more taking the time to become learned lovers, experimenting with new relationships, new playthings, and new activities.  Pornography and erotica are weaving their way into the mainstream of popular culture.  Perhaps as more and more people begin fully developing their sexuality there will be a massive rediscovery and new appreciation for female ejaculation and the awesome time awaiting those who are willing to experience it.</p>
<p>At the time being however, I&#8217;d just like to put a little lesson out there for folks who might be wondering about this fabulous pastime.</p>
<p><em>What is ejaculate?</em></p>
<p>Well it&#8217;s not pee, for one.  It&#8217;s a fluid that&#8217;s produced in the Skene&#8217;s gland, which some folks have referred to as a degenerate prostate, evolutionarily speaking.  The fluid that is made sometimes mixes with a little urine on it&#8217;s way out if you haven&#8217;t completely emptied your bladder before hand.  Don&#8217;t worry though, as long as you are healthily hydrated and recently piddled your cum should be plenty pure.</p>
<p><em>Where does it come from?</em></p>
<p>Upon arousal, the periurethral sponge poofs up and swells: capillaries open to allow blood to flow into the tissue and the Skene&#8217;s gland goes to work cooking up ejaculate.  A ripe periurethral sponge is what folks refer to as the G-spot.  Because it is so swollen, with blood and smaller amounts of ejaculate, it feels good to touch.  When one presses repeatedly on that spongy area known as the G-spot, ejaculate can actually be milked from the sponge and will drip, spill, or squirt out of the urethra.</p>
<p><em>What does it look/feel/taste/smell like?</em></p>
<p>Well, this is tricky.  It can look/feel/taste/smell different coming from different people and at different times. (No pun intended there&#8230;) Sometimes it&#8217;s crystal clear like water, other times its thick and has more of a tint to it.  It can taste sweet or salty like butter, if it has a little pee mixed in there might be a slightly bitter taste.  Sometimes it feels thin and light like water, and other times like a slick almost syrupy liquid. Sometimes it&#8217;s quite pungent and musky, other times you can&#8217;t really smell it at all.  The point here is that everyone and every time is different.  Things that affect what your ejaculate smells, tastes, feels, and looks like are hydration, time of your cycle, foods you&#8217;ve eaten, stress, drugs (nicotine and alcohol even), etc.</p>
<p><em>How can I learn to squirt?</em></p>
<p>Practice.  Take into consideration all that&#8217;s been brought to you in this lesson- hydration, milking the G-spot, extended arousal time, relaxation, letting go of hang ups (&#8221;but i don&#8217;t want to pee in bed&#8221;),  etc.  Also try playing with a little pressure on the urethral opening.  By gently covering the urethral opening while milking the G-spot you actually start building up excess pressure which might help create a more impressive stream upon release. (Note: Be careful with this and make sure to pee afterwards.  You don&#8217;t want any urinary infections from pushing liquid back up into your bladder.)  You can also learn to shoot further by increasing the strength of your PC muscles and learning to control their contractions.</p>
<p><em>How can I increase the amount juice I produce?</em></p>
<p>Two suggestions here. One, stay hydrated.  The more H2O in your body the more ejaculate your body will be able to produce.  Two, keep teasing.  The longer the arousal period, i.e. the amount of time your body has to produce juice before expelling it from the body, the more juice there will be to expel.</p>
<p><em>Can I transmit STIs though ejaculate?</em></p>
<p>Simple answer: YES.  I&#8217;m not entirely sure on what all you can or cannot transmit (due to a lack of serious research on this subject), but my professional opinion is that squirting is another form of fluid bonding, and if you aren&#8217;t ready to do that with your partner you might want to wait a while before squirting all over each other&#8217;s body.  My professional advice is to keep the same safe sex boundaries around squirting that you have around other sexual activities.</p>
<p><em>Got any videos or books on the subject?</em></p>
<p>The best book I&#8217;ve come across so far is <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/display_product.jhtml?id=6-3-RA-0301&#038;ref=gv000086" target="_blank">Female Ejaculation and the G-spot</a>.  As far as instructional videos, <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/display_product.jhtml?id=8-7-MA-0401&#038;ref=gv000086" target="_blank">Female Ejaculation for Couples</a> is useful, though a little outdated. There&#8217;s also <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/display_product.jhtml?id=8-7-MA-0701&#038;ref=gv000086">Female Ejaculation &#8211; The Workshop</a>.  There are some great porn films out there though that have incredible ejaculation scenes: Belladonna and Cytherea in <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/display_product.jhtml?id=8-1-BB-0302&#038;ref=gv000086" target="_blank">Evil Pink</a>, Jiz Lee in <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/display_product.jhtml?id=8-3-BB-0503&#038;ref=gv000086" target="_blank">The Crash Pad</a>, and Flower Tucci and Randy Spears in <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/display_product.jhtml?id=8-1-AA-0610&#038;ref=gv000086" target="_blank">Tailgunners</a> are just three highlights.  We also just got in a couple <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/search/super_search.jhtml?action=newSearch&#038;sources=gl&#038;searchTerms=SuperSquirt&#038;ref=gv000086" target="_blank">SuperSquirt</a> DVDs as well, which I&#8217;m still waiting, excitedly, to check out.</p>
<p>Okay I think I may have outdone myself this time&#8230;  I know that was a lot to read, I hope you all got something out of it.  If you have another question I didn&#8217;t answer this time around, feel free to leave any questions or thoughts in the comment space, I&#8217;d love to answer them in another post.</p>
<p>For now, though, I leave you with a <strong>Sex Tip of the Day</strong>:  If you know you&#8217;re gonna get pretty wet keep a couple towels handy.  A small hand towel is great for wiping down pussies, cocks, butts and thighs.  A larger towel will be perfect for lying down before the scene to keep the bed or carpet dry, or for lying down after the fact to soak it all up.  No one <em>really</em> likes to sleep on the wet spot.</p>
<p>Have fun, and remember: drink at least 8 cups of water a day, you never had a better reason.</p>
<p>Always up for a good splash,</p>
<p>~*~Red Delicious~*~</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally, the long awaited conclusion to my three part spot blog.  In the first two posts I filled you in on the C-spot, the G-spot, and the P-spots.  (Please feel free to read the previous posts <a href="http://blog.goodvibes.com/2007/08/05/im-seeing-spots/">I&#8217;m Seeing Spots</a> and <a href="http://blog.goodvibes.com/2007/08/25/still-seeing-spots/">Still Seeing Spots</a> if you haven&#8217;t already.)  There are two spots left in this journey, both lesser known than the others but extremely important and possibly very useful to folks out there.  These spots go by the letters A and U, and are both female-bodied pleasure zones.</p>
<p>First things first, both these pleasure zones are fairly new to the game so not much consistent or reliable research, of the professional nature that is, has been conducted to discover their secrets.  What you will hear from me is mostly my own speculation from what I have read in independent articles found online combined with my own knowledge of sexual anatomy and response.  So take heed- to really understand these spots and the pleasure-potential they carry, conducting your own research is highly advised. ::wink, wink::</p>
<p>The A-spot, also known as the anterior fornix or the AFE Zone, is an area of tissue located deep into the vagina, just above the cervix on the anterior wall.  The &#8220;fornix&#8221; is the circular recess that surrounds the cervix (which protrudes downward into the vagina).  While slamming into the cervix can be quite painful, not to mention dangerous, carefully executed, firm pressure against the A-spot can lead to much sensual fabulousness.  Some folks say that stimulating this spot causes a tremendous increase in vaginal lubrication AND that it can lead to more powerful orgasms than clitoral stimulation alone.  <em>I say</em> that the A-Spot might be a key to why some people really enjoy deep vaginal penetration and hardcore thrusting and/or fisting.  (<em>Just to note, if you are interested in vaginal fisting please be careful and take the time to get informed first and move forward slowly.  Remember, a baby&#8217;s head can cause tears in the vaginal opening, and a fist isn&#8217;t necessarily much smaller.  AND always use lots of lube!!! <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-22FL13--m-26" target="_blank">Please Gel</a> works great</em>.)</p>
<p>On to the U-Spot&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">The U-Spot is a term referring to the erectile tissue that lies around the urethral opening on a female body.  The tissue is located above and on either side of this opening and becomes very sensitive upon arousal.  Like I mentioned before this is one of the erotic &#8220;zones&#8221; that has only begun to be researched in more recent years so there isn&#8217;t a whole lot of information out there about it&#8217;s response to touch or the sensations stimulation of the area induces.  Some folks say a soft tongue or slippery fingertip gently exploring the U-Spot is a wonderful feeling.  I&#8217;m sure it is, but in my book, a soft tongue or slippery fingertip feels good just about anywhere when you&#8217;re turned on!  Am I right?</p>
<p align="left">So what&#8217;s my suggestion for exploring this spot?  Firm pressure actually feels great against this area right around the point of climax.  I&#8217;m speculating this might have something to do with female ejaculation.  As you become aroused and get closer to orgasm, the urethral sponge swells with liquid from the Skenes glands. (See the GV article on <a href="http://goodvibes.com/Content--Sex-Guides-Advice--id-2156" target="_blank">G-Spot Ejaculation</a> if this doesn&#8217;t sound familiar to you.)  For many squirters, or female ejaculators, this liquid trickles out of the urethra like a sweet sap rather than exploding from our bodies in a beautiful arching stream.  While the quantity and quality of ejaculate can very with many factors such as hydration and cycle, I think there may lie a possibility in combining stimulation of the G-Spot and pressure on the U-Spot to reach a more impressive and powerful ejaculation experience. You might try pressing against the U-Spot, covering the urethral opening gently, while stimulating your G-Spot with a partner or toy, and then lifting your fingers away from the urethra upon climax <em>or</em> a most pressing urge to squirt.</p>
<p align="left">Let me know what you think about these ideas, as they are really only speculation from my own experience.  And even though it is always a good idea to pee after sex, it&#8217;s even more important when you are experimenting with female ejaculation or the U-Spot.  Our inhibitions around different sexual acts can sometimes cause us to impede our bodies&#8217; own instincts to naturally release or expel things; and while in some cases (like with anal play) this can add to the experience, keeping your body from releasing liquids through your urethra can lead to infections which are fun for no one.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s it for the Spots series.  I hope everyone found at least one interesting tid bit to pass on about the A-Zs.</p>
<p>Play safe, keep an open mind, and always have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-indent: 0.5in">So August is quickly coming to a close, and seeing as it is the wonderful month of Anal Pleasure I thought I should make sure to continue my spots post with an entry about the P-Spot or Spots.<span>  </span>In reading and talking to people I find that the term P-Spot can be used to describe a number of erogenous zones on both male and female bodies.<span>  </span></p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in">Most commonly this letter corresponds to the prostate, a male bodied sexual organ which is responsible for most of the fluid that makes up male ejaculate, or semen.<span>  </span>While the prostate plays a very specific role in sexual reproduction, its less-often identified role in sexual pleasure is hugely important and widely appreciated by many people.<span>  </span>The prostate has recently reemerged onto the bedroom scene as the male G-Spot and can open the door to a wealth of eroticism for people who are interested in exploring.<span>  </span>Adding P-Spot play to your repertoire of sexual games can enhance orgasm, improve sexual potency and control, and maintain your physical health.<span>  </span></p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in">The other areas that the letter P can correspond to are the perineum, the smooth area of skin between the anus and the scrotum or vagina, as well as the perineal sponge, a gathering of erectile tissue between the rectum and the vagina.<span>  </span>On male bodies the perineum is home to a tiny spot which when pressed into can give access to the prostate and is the one way to stimulate that spot externally.<span>  </span>The perineal sponge is very similar to the urethral sponge, or G-Spot, and swells upon arousal with erotic potential.<span>  </span>This is one area that when stimulated can greatly add to the penetrative experience for female-bodied folks both vaginally and anally.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in">Knowing what parts of the body these letters stand for is one thing, knowing how to touch them is a whole new subject.<span>  </span>The most important rule of any kind of anal play is to ask first.<span>  </span>Many people are very uncomfortable with the idea of their butts being erotic zones for a number of reasons.<span>  </span>In this culture we are raised to believe our butts serve just one purpose, pooping, and therefore are always dirty.<span>  </span>We’re also taught that anal sex is for gay dudes only, so engaging in it must say something about our sexual orientation.<span>  </span>Even if we’ve got past those two roadblocks, there is still the belief that anal sex hurts, which understandably would deter folks from indulging in the activity.<span>  </span>None of these things need be true if you talk with your partners about it first and take the time to learn a little about the ins and outs of anal play, and that’s where I come in with some tips and resources.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in">The following is a collection of tips on how to touch these different spots safely, comfortably, and for maximum pleasure.<span>  </span>For more in depth reading I suggest reading a book, The Ultimate Guide series has an edition for both <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-6-3-RB-BE05" target="_blank">men </a>and <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-6-3-RA-0601" target="_blank">women </a>on anal sex.<span>  </span>Watching a movie can be helpful too and a little more fun. <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-8-7-ML-0304" target="_blank">Nina Hartley’s Guide to Anal Sex</a> or Tristan Taramino’s <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-8-7-ML-BE01" target="_blank">Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women</a>, which just so happens to star Nina as well, are both fun videos to watch alone or with a playmate. Okay, okay, enough chatting already, get to the goods.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Tip 1: Clean up.</p>
<p>Inserting a soapy finger up your bum while you shower can clean quite sufficiently for mild ass play.<span>  </span>This is also a good way to relax your butt and get used to the sensations you’ll soon be exploring more thoroughly. Anal douching, otherwise known rinsing out or using an enema, might be useful if you plan on engaging in deeper ass play with fingers, hands, toys, or a penis.<span>  </span>Anal douching is different than what most people think of when talking about vaginal douching, and doesn’t involve chemicals or detergents.<span>  </span>A simple <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100218&amp;navAction=jump&amp;navCount=4&amp;id=prod17204#" target="_blank">ear syringe</a> (make sure to lubricate the tip and you butt before inserting) and some luke warm water can do just fine.<span>  </span>Seeing as feces doesn’t sit in the rectum all day long, but actually accumulates in the colon and stays put until we have the urge to release it, the rectum is usually fairly clean.<span>  </span>A soapy finger or simple douche will clean any remaining bits of feces out and make you squeaky clean enough for fingers, a tongue, or an average plug.<span>  </span></p>
<p>Be aware too, engaging in safe anal sex, i.e. using dental dams, finger cots, gloves, and condoms, lessens the wariness of coming into contact with feces and can make the experience much more comfortable for all partners. For maximum pleasure with a barrier, lubricate both sides of the barrier.</p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Tip 2: Start slowly.</p>
<p>This tip goes along with the “talk to your partner first” rule.<span>  </span>Anal play is not something to just jump headfirst into.<span>  </span>It won’t be fun that way.<span>  </span>It takes time for us to get comfortable with anal play both mentally and physically.<span>  </span>We have to undo all those taboos we were taught growing up. What are the things that keep you from wanting to play with your ass or someone else’s?<span>  </span>Our butts are dirty: well then clean it. Butt sex is gay: no, people are gay… or they’re not; the activities we engage in with each other don’t dictate who we love.<span>  </span>But taking it up the ass hurts: then don’t do that yet.<span>  </span>We’re doing things that feel good remember?<span>  </span></p>
<p>The anus consists of two very strong sphincter muscles and happens to be a place where we hold much of the tension in our bodies. So we have to take the time to relax those muscles and release that tension before we can expect any real pleasure to come from butt play. Start by massaging your partners butt cheeks, they’ll adore you.<span>  </span>We sit on those things all day long, they deserve the attention. <span> </span>Run a vibrator lightly around your partner’s anus- and you thought vibrators were only for girls! Lick the perineum and anus during oral sex, a soft wet tongue feels soothing and sexy.<span>  </span>Or press against your partner’s anus with a slippery, well-manicured finger; maybe even dip it in a bit, or a bit more.<span>  </span>Your partner will tell you with either with words or rhythms what’s working.</p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Tip 3: Lubricate.</p>
<p>Unfortunately our butts don’t lubricate themselves enough to create a comfortably friction-free experience.<span>  </span>So always lube up.<span>  </span>Silicone or thick, water-based, gel lubricants are the kinds you should consider.<span>  </span>There’s always the black-bottled <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-22FM04" target="_blank">Pjur Eros</a>, which consistently stars in movies with heavy ass play.<span>  </span>Our own brand of gel lubricant, <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-22FL13" target="_blank">Please Gel</a>, has incredible staying power, and even my absolute favorite, <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-22FL40" target="_blank">Slippery Stuff Gel</a>, is great for milder anal games and its lack of flavor makes it a great rimming, or analingus, companion.<span>  </span></p>
<p>There are many appropriate brands of lube out there for anal play; there are also some lubes out there which I would strongly encourage folks to abstain from.<span>  </span>Desensitizing creams, though seemingly an easy cure for discomfort during anal sex, are dangerous.<span>  </span>Remember what I mentioned earlier about things feeling good?<span>  </span>Anal sex isn’t supposed to hurt and if the activities you’re engaging in are painful or uncomfortable that is a sign you shouldn’t be doing them yet, or at all.<span>  </span>By applying desensitizing lube to your anus you are disengaging your body’s own protection mechanisms and could be setting yourself up to get seriously hurt.<span>  </span>That’s not fun for anyone.</p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Tip 4:<span>  </span>Remember the G-Spot.</p>
<p>The prostate and perineal sponge respond to touch very similarly to the G-Spot.<span>  </span>That’s why many toys marketed towards women for G-Spot stimulation double greatly for P-Spot stimulation.<span>  </span>With your fingers, you can tug, press, tap, or run against the prostate or the perineal sponge much like you would do for the G-Spot.<span>  </span>The prostate in particular responds very well to angled toys like the <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-2-AN-0501" target="_blank">Night Rider</a> and the <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item.aspx?i=14BF57" target="_blank">Meteor Plugs</a>.<span>  </span>Toys with a hook shaped tip like the <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-4-BA-0605" target="_blank">Pandora Plug</a> and the <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-12AH90" target="_blank">G-Swirl Vibe</a> are also quite popular for P-Spot stimulation.<span>  </span>And in you feel like investing a bit more into your equipment, the wooden <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-3-BF-0709" target="_blank">Tryst </a>and steel <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-3-BF-0501" target="_blank">New Wave</a> have an “s” curve I previously prescribed for G-Spot stimulation that will work similarly against the prostate.</p>
<p>Remember also that for female bodied folks, the perineal sponge can be stimulated vaginally as well as anally.<span>  </span>Might I suggest turning some of those tried and true G-Spot toys around and pressing them into the floor, or posterior wall, of the vagina?<span>  </span>I’ve heard from folks who were convinced they’re G-Spot was located on the other side of their vagina because they found it so pleasurable to have their perineal sponge touched.<span>  </span>My own little recipe here? Try turning the <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-13BA22" target="_blank">Angelina</a> around during your next muff dive so that the thumb loop rubs against the perineum and the G-Spot bulb presses into the perineal sponge.<span>  </span>This will also give your tongue access to the clit and labia. See how your partner likes that.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>Tip 5: Go ahead, try a prostate massager.</p>
<p>Yeah I know they seem a bit pricy for a bit of plastic, but it’s the form and design you’re paying for.<span>  </span>Years of research have gone into the development of these toys and they prove it. <span> </span>The <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item.aspx?i=14BD58&amp;m=1" target="_blank">Aneros </a>series, <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-4-BF-0703" target="_blank">Romp </a>from Nob Essence, and the Nexus line are all prostate massagers designed to be used hands free, enlisting the natural pulsations of your sphincter muscles to cause the toys to rock back and forth against the prostate and perineum.<span>  </span>Romp from Nob Essence is uniquely sculpted so that comfortable, extended wearing is possible, meaning you’ll be enjoying an even longer pleasure experience.</p>
<p>And female bodied folks, don&#8217;t feel left out&#8230; These &#8220;prostate&#8221; massagers are more than capable of giving us pleasure as well.  Because the wall between the vagina and the anus is so thin, these prostate &#8220;curves&#8221; can easily reach the G-Spot when worn anally as long as nothing is inserted into the vagina.  The tab designed to rock against the perineum actually dips quite teasingly into the vagina.  These toys can be as great a companion to cunnilingus as to fellatio, so enjoy!</p>
<p>Well, I think I have covered enough about the P-Spots, today.<span>  </span>I hope some of this info comes in handy.<span>  </span>Expect one more spot blog coming up soon; I’ll be introducing some of you to the A-Spot and the U-Spot.<span>  </span>In the mean time put some of those new ideas and toys to use, be safe, and enjoy the remaining days of Anal Pleasure Month.<span>  </span>Remember all anal toys and lubes are 15% off through August, so now’s the perfect time to try something new…</p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Take care and love your bum!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So lately I have been talking a whole heck of a lot about spots.  So much in fact that often by the end of the day i feel like my head is going to explode and I actually do feel as though I, myself, am actually seeing spots.  So what spots do I find myself talking about?  ALL of them, and there are so many I figured I might write a little bit about them so that folks who don&#8217;t get to come into the stores on a regular basis to hear me and my fellow SESAs divulge about these wonderful places might learn a thing or two as well.First and foremost the illustrious G-Spot. I won&#8217;t write a whole lot about this one, seeing as it get&#8217;s a lot of press as it is, in everything from the GV Magazine to Men&#8217;s Health to the SF Chronicle, but I will recap on a few key points.</p>
<p>1.  If you haven&#8217;t found your g-spot yet, wait to look for it until AFTER you&#8217;ve had an orgasm.  This will allow your body to become fully arroused, meaning the periurethral sponge that makes up the g-spot will be fully swelled and rarin&#8217; to go.</p>
<p>2.  Your g-spot is located on the front wall of your vagina, ALWAYS.  It doesn&#8217;t move, it&#8217;s not in the back or on the side for some women.  It&#8217;s in the front, think towards your belly button, and it is most likely not located very deep into your vag.  It can usually be found 1-2 inches deep, not far, some women even have these little goldmines protruding slightly from the vagina. Talk about easy access!</p>
<p>3.  Try fingers FIRST.  Fingers are nature&#8217;s own g-spot toy: they&#8217;re free, bendable, easy to clean, and super strong.  Plus you can make &#8216;em hook, press, or crawl against the g-spot to find out what you like.  Using your fingers or your partner&#8217;s will also let you feel the internal texture of your vagina, this is important because the g-spot can easily be characterized by a ridged texture quite different from the rest of the vaginal wall.  If you have trouble reaching your fingers into your vagina, I understand, and in such case would highly reccomend a toy with an &#8220;S&#8221; curve.  These include the Spectral (in stores only), the <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-3-BF-0501">New Wave</a>, and our latest and greatest- the <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-3-BF-0709">Tryst</a>.  The hardness of these materials, glass, steel, and wood, respectively, are supreme for hunting after the g-spot and their curve makes getting the right angle so easy.</p>
<p>So, moving on, the other spots I frequently find myself discussing with customers and friends alike are as follows:  the P-spot (or spots I should say), the U-spot, the C-spot, and the A-spot.  I get a little tired of the word spot at times and wish we could use other similar words like place, area, or even niche, just so I wouldn&#8217;t get so tongue-tied.  But that&#8217;s besides the point.  The point being there are many erogenous zones in the human body, the vagina especially, that we as sexual athletes should know about.</p>
<p>The C-spot is one I get questioned about quite often, thankfully this one has an easy answer.  I don&#8217;t know who coined the term, Cosmo or Jane, but the C-spot is just a sassy way to say clitoris.  Simple as it seems, it isn&#8217;t quite.  Many men and women in the world don&#8217;t even know where the clitoris is, let alone, how to stimulate it well.  This is a gigantic problem, seeing as about 90% of female bodied folks need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm.  That&#8217;s right, only one in ten women can climax from penetration alone.  No joke.</p>
<p>So how do you stimulate the clit?  So many ways: a pointed tongue, a circling finger, a jutting hip bone, a grinding pelvis, a textured dildo, a pulsing bullet.  Wanna learn more?  Read a book, <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-6-3-SC-0405">Box Lunch</a> by Diana Cage and <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-6-3-RA-BE02">Tickle Your Fancy</a> by Sadie Allison both have great ideas (illustrations included) about how to work the C-spot.  Wanna try a toy?  Lelo&#8217;s <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-2-AJ-0515">Nea</a> and Lily are perfect vibes for the clit: small, strong, and quiet, not to mention rechargeable!!!  Employing a cock ring with clitoral inclinations ensures your clit will be attended to during penetration, my personal fave is the <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-6-CA-0606">Blackberry Vibe Ring</a>, it&#8217;s nubby texture is delicious.  (Harness wearers stay tuned for an awesome blog about cock rings, harnesses, and dildos.)</p>
<p>One last thing about the C-spot.  Adding a little clitoral play to your G-spot games will ensure an incredible time for all.  May I suggest a little clit-sucking while driving the fabulous new <a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/Item--i-1-3-BF-0710">Fling</a>, our new wooden miracle who&#8217;s just begging to get in on that oral action.</p>
<p>Okay, so my time is up for today, and I know I only covered two spots.  Keep reading though, next post I&#8217;ll go on about the P-spots.  Bet you didn&#8217;t know there was more than one!</p>

<p>When was the last time you took a good long look at a pussy? Do you know where your (or your girlfriend&#8217;s) clitoral cruras are? Even if you&#8217;re a hoohoo master, I&#8217;ll bet you can&#8217;t name all the parts of the clitoris! (Hint: What we routinely call our clit is really just the tip of the iceberg.) But believe me, if you understand where everything is and what each part does, you&#8217;ll have a greater mastery of your, or your lover&#8217;s sexual response.</p>
<p>First stop on the pussy tour is the <em>mons</em>, or <em>mons veneris</em>, which is Latin for Mound of Venus, also known as the <em>mons pubis</em>, or just &#8220;the mound.&#8221; It&#8217;s the fleshy, comfy, cushy area between your legs where the bush grows. It&#8217;s nicely padded to protect the pubic bone from impact during intercourse. It&#8217;s a very sexually sensitive spot, and while it&#8217;s not going to get anyone off, it&#8217;s full of nerve endings, and lightly stroking your lady&#8217;s mound before going below will fill her with shivers of delight.</p>
<p>Next we have the inner and outer labia. These are two sets of lips that surround all the sensitive insides. The outer lips, called the <em>labia majora</em>, are fleshy, padded, and hairy. The inner lips, or <em>labia minora</em>, are slippery little buggers that have no hair follicles. Inner lips come in every shade, from carnation-pink to burgundy to dark chocolate. They are extremely sensitive, often uneven in size, and sometimes long enough to extend past the outer lips. When a woman is aroused, the inner lips fill with blood, causing them to swell and turn darker. Many women love having their inner lips stimulated &#8212; and some enjoy it more than direct stimulation of the clit.</p>
<p>Now we come to everyone&#8217;s favorite magic bean, the <em>clitoris</em>, or &#8220;clit.&#8221; The clit is where a lot of the action happens. Think of it as similar to a penis, only with <em>four times</em> as many nerve endings. The part that most of us are referring to when we talk about our clits is actually just the head, or <em>glans</em> of our clits. The clitoris is a complex organ that pretty much extends throughout the entire genital region. Anytime you make your lady feel good by stimulating her vagina, her anus, her lips, or anywhere else down there you&#8217;re also indirectly stimulating her clit. The clitoris is the only organ in the human body &#8212; male or female &#8212; whose sole purpose is sexual pleasure.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/content.jhtml?id=1098"><!--FNM=11&#038;T1=6+3+SC+0211&#038;UID=!+USID!&#038;UREQA=5&#038;UREQB=4&#038;UREQC=3&#038;TRAN85= --></a>The clitoris is a network of nerve-rich organs consisting of the <em>hood</em>, the clitoral glans, the <em>clitoral shaft</em>, the <em>crura</em> or legs of the clitoris, and the <em>clitoral bulbs</em>.</p>
<p>Until not too long ago, folks believed that the clit was just the little man in the boat and that was it. But now thanks to awesome books like Rebecca Chalker&#8217;s <em>The Clitoral Truth</em>, and <em>A New View of a Woman&#8217;s Body</em> by the Federation of Feminist Women&#8217;s Health Centers we know that it actually has many parts.</p>
<p>The clit is shrouded by the <em>clitoral hood</em>, a fold of draped tissue that keeps your sensitive button safe from over-stimulation. If you pull back the hood of the clit you will expose the <em>glans</em> or visible nub of the clit &#8212; otherwise known as the little man (or woman) in the pink canoe. The clit has about 8,000 nerve endings &#8212; more than any other structure in the human body. It&#8217;s pretty much a different size and shape on every woman. Pay close attention to the clit. It&#8217;s extremely sensitive and stimulation of this baby is essential to most women&#8217;s orgasms.</p>
<p>The <em>shaft</em> of the clitoris runs just superior to the clitoral glans. Run your finger over the hood of the clit and press down on it. You should feel a rubbery cord extending up toward the bush. This cord could be anywhere from half an inch to an inch long. It&#8217;s sensitive, and pressing on it should feel good. Most women will find that massaging it gets them hot.</p>
<p>Now we&#8217;re getting to the behind-the-scenes stuff. The <em>shaft</em> of the clitoris extends up toward the <em>mons</em>, then it forks and bends around forming two wishbone shaped legs, or the <em>clitoral crura</em>. The <em>crura</em> run down either side of the vagina about three inches, below the surface, just behind the labia minora. The crura are too deep for you to feel with your fingers. But, trust me, their presence is one reason penetration can feel so heavenly.</p>
<p>Starting from the point where the shaft and crura meet there are another two extensions &#8212; the <em>clitoral bulbs</em>. I told you this thing was big! The clitoral bulbs extend internally down and underneath each of the labia minora. They&#8217;re bigger than the crura and they fill with blood and get hard when a girl is all juiced up.</p>
<p>Below the clit you&#8217;ll find the <em>urethral opening</em> &#8212; you know, your pee-hole. This is where urine leaves the body. It&#8217;s also where ejaculate leaves the body. In both women and men, the urethra is surrounded by a ring of spongy tissue that fills with fluid during arousal, and this is the fluid that comes squirting out during female ejaculation. The exact make-up of this fluid is made of is still up for debate, but everyone agrees that it isn&#8217;t urine. The spongy tissue is called the <em>urethral sponge</em> or the <em>G-spot</em>. It&#8217;s pretty hard to locate if she&#8217;s not yet turned on. But once she gets going, bam! It&#8217;s a big old hard button about the size of a quarter that you can push on and rock her world.</p>
<p>You can feel the rough texture of the G-spot if you stick two fingers in your lady&#8217;s honey pot and prod around up toward the front wall of her pussy. That rough, textured, bumpy area is her G-spot. Push on it, and she may feel like she has to pee. That&#8217;s normal &#8212; you&#8217;re poking around her urethra. Or maybe it will make her eyes roll back in her head. There&#8217;s no telling. For many women this is a huge erogenous zone and stimulation of the G-spot may make your girlfriend act like the Sparklett&#8217;s Water Fantasy show at Sea World. You know that female ejaculation thing you&#8217;ve heard so much about? Well, this is where it all happens, baby.</p>
<p>Below the urethra is the <em>vaginal opening</em>. We think of the vagina as a tube, but really the walls of a woman&#8217;s cooch lie flat against each other until she gets hot. The vaginal walls are a mucous membrane. This is why we get slippery when turned on. The walls exude the slippery stuff that makes sex so much fun. But this slippery fun also helps to continuously flush out the whole works. The vagina is a self-cleaning organ. In other words, douching is <em>never</em> necessary. It fucks up the vagina&#8217;s natural bacteria killing acidic environment leaving you open to possible infection. And no one wants to eat a snatch that tastes like Bubbalicious anyway.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.goodvibes.com/content.jhtml?id=1098"><!--FNM=49&#038;T1=1+2+AL+0501&#038;UID=!+USID!&#038;UREQA=5&#038;UREQB=4&#038;UREQC=3&#038;TRAN85= --></a>When a woman gets all juiced up, the outer, nerve-rich section of the snatch tightens up and gets hard, but the back two-thirds of the sexual hallway &#8212; the less sensitive section &#8212; expands dramatically in length and width. This process is called <em>tenting</em>, and it&#8217;s what makes vaginal fisting so awesome. There&#8217;s a lot more room in a pussy than you&#8217;d imagine.</p>
<p>Below the vaginal opening are two tiny little bean-sized glands called the <em>Bartholins glands</em>. These babies don&#8217;t do much except provide small amounts of lube during sex. They can get blocked and swell up, a painful and annoying event, but not life threatening.</p>
<p>For most women reading this article, I&#8217;m guessing your <em>hymens</em> were obliterated long ago. But let&#8217;s just pretend you&#8217;ve still got a cherry. It would be a thin membrane of tissue stretched across the opening of your hole. Most of the time this thing breaks before you ever get around to sticking anything up there. Just about any kind of strenuous activity can pop your cherry. The <em>cervix</em> is the opening to the <em>uterus</em>. If you stick your fingers up into the vagina you&#8217;ll feel a round knob-like thing. It&#8217;s a bit (doggie) nose-like. Yep, that&#8217;s the cervix. This is the place from which menstrual blood escapes every month. While it has no nerve endings on its surface, the cervix responds to pressure. Bumping into it with a blunt object can feel good, or it can really hurt. Depends on the lady.</p>
