Do Open Marriages Work?
August 28th, 2007 by SexyGal
It is difficult to determine just how many married people are involved in open marriages. A study from the 1980s suggested it could be as many as 6 percent of all couples, but most experts believe that number is excessively high.”At least 95 percent of married and cohabitating Americans expect sexual exclusivity,” said Judy Treas, a sociology professor at the University of California at Irvine.
As for the success of open marriages, “there have been no scientific evaluations of how well open marriages work,” Treas said. “The jury is still out.”
Despite the small niche, there is a thriving industry built around the polyamorous. Self-help books, specialized marriage counselors, and retreats, which include everything from courses in Eastern philosophy to the chance to hook up with strangers, are targeted at people in open marriages.
Traditional marriage counsellors typically tell polyamorous couples who are having problems with their marriage that it is the sex with other people that is causing their problems, but therapists like Dossie Easton who co-wrote”The Ethical Slut,” disagreed.
Easton said polyamorous marriages were no more or less successful than marriages, but at least the polyamorous were never surprised to learn their spouse was cheating.
She said openly married couples saw her “for the same problems that traditional therapists deal with. Only traditional therapists tell polyamorous couples if they gave up being polyamorous, then they’d be happy.”
Problems, she said, occur when spouses have different ideas about how polyamory should work.
“Sometimes one wants to have sex with strangers, and the other wants more meaningful relationships outside the marriage. Others want to join groups of like-minded people, [which] I call pods or constellations, where sometimes child-rearing responsibilities are shared.”

Penis Caught In Vacuum
August 28th, 2007 by SexyGalDaniel Blackner, or Captain Dan the Demon Dwarf, was due to perform at the Circus of Horrors at the festival known for its offbeat performances.His act involved appearing on stage with a vacuum cleaner attached to his member with a special apparatus.The attachment broke before the performance and Blackner tried to fix it using extra-strong glue; unfortunately, he let it dry for only 20 seconds instead of the 20 minutes required.
He then joined it directly to his organ. The end result? A solid attachment, laughter, mortification and … hospitalisation.
“It was the most embarrassing moment of my life when I got wheeled into a packed A&E with a vacuum attached to me,” Blackner said.
“Barbie” Porn Site Targeted
August 28th, 2007 by SexyGalThe lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, said the Web site www.chinabarbie.com had used the Barbie trademark to capture the positive image Mattel had created through its “Barbie” products.
The suit, which seeks unspecified damages, said the company, Global China Networks LLC, was based in Florida with a postal address in New York and had sold memberships to the site to customers around the world.
Mattel co-founder Ruth Handler in 1959 created the Barbie doll after noticing her daughter preferred playing with paper cut-outs of adult female fashion dolls, the lawsuit said.

Are Open Marriages More Successful?
August 24th, 2007 by SexyGalBut do marriages — fragile institutions traditionally built on the fidelity and sexual intimacy of two people — work when the doors of the bedroom are thrown wide open?
“That’s like asking if monogamy works,” Deborah Anapol, a psychologist and author of “Polyamory: The New Love Without Limits” told ABC NEWS.com. “Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t. It depends almost entirely on the people involved and their willingness to tell the truth and do the work.”
“Polyamory,” which literally means “many loves” is a new name for an old practice.
“There were a few studies on open marriage in the early ’60s and ’70s, but the phenomenon seemed to die out and it was just called cheating after that,” said William Doherty, a professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota.
“It resurfaced as polyamory, and some groups have imbued it with a spiritual side. They see it as a pathway to personal development. They see it as a high road; it’s not cheating, it’s growing their relationship,” he said.

G Spot Enhancement
August 22nd, 2007 by SexyGal
With the patient’s help, the doctor guides the 3-inch needle to the most promising location, and one injection renders the G-spot the size of a coin. Many patients claim their sex lives are greatly enhanced, but no peer-reviewed research has yet been done.
I think I’ll keep my gspot exactly as it is. It may need an “enhancement” but I’ll take my sex life as it is rather than undergo the frigging 3 inch needle.

Swingers Resort Keeps Viagra In The Gift Shop
August 22nd, 2007 by SexyGalAccording to ABC Vacationers are known to have open sex on the poolside daybeds scattered around the Desire swingers resort.
From the outside, the resort looks just like any other along the sun-soaked beaches of Los Cabos, Mexico: pools and bars and volleyball. But before long, it’s easy to see signs that this place is different.
In the gift shop, not far from the sun block, were boxes of Viagra.
Outside by the pool were big red beds, draped with wispy curtains. And these beds were not for tanning. It was very quickly clear that at this clothing-optional resort, most enjoyed that option. Nudity was the norm. After all, this was Desire, the second-best-known “swingers” resort on the planet.
Robert McGinley, the 72-year-old founder and CEO of Lifestyles Organization, the world’s leading company devoted to “swinging,” believes that one specific element makes swingers resorts successful.
“Freedom — freedom of expression, freedom to be what you want to be, freedom to be stark naked nude next to someone, and they don’t care,” he said.
“They want to be able to, if they’re, say, here in the Jacuzzi or in the disco dance, and get turned on by another couple, those two couples want to be able to go someplace like this bed that I’m sitting on right here and take it a step further — sexual exploration.”
You can call it wife-swapping, call it creepy — call it what you like, but it appears that the business of swing is booming.

New Condoms
August 18th, 2007 by SexyGal
Following a three-year investigation by federal and local authorities in Orange County, Calif., the owners of at least 10 massage parlors were arrested in March and accused of running prostitution establishments.
Among the investigators’ findings was that, to reduce the cost of supplying condoms, the salons urged customers to use plastic food wrap, which management bought in large quantities. Said District Attorney Tom Rackauckas, “I really don’t think about (plastic food wrap) in the same way anymore.”
