Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) — A sex hormone stimulated by excess body fat may trigger deadly ovarian cancer, a new study found.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute found that, among women who had never taken hormones after menopause, obesity was associated with an almost 80 percent higher risk of ovarian cancer, the deadliest type of gynecological malignancy. Production of the hormone estrogen linked to excess body mass may stimulate the growth of ovarian cells and play a role in the development of cancer after menopause, the study said.

The findings, published in the Feb. 15 issue of the American Cancer Society’s journal Cancer, adds to evidence about the health risks of obesity, a condition the World Health Organization says affects more than 400 million adults. The Geneva-based agency says overweight and obese people have a greater risk of colon, breast and endometrial cancer.

Lucky me!  I purchased a 2009 Sexblogger Calendar to support Audacia Ray’s Sex Work Awareness Project, an organization that trains sex workers in media skills and educates the public about issues that affect people who work in the sex industry.  I was happy to get the calendar alone and support sex workers!  As a bonus, however, I received a free 1 month subscription to the Crashpadseries.com.  I am already a huge fan of Pink and White Productions and Shine Louise Houston’s films.  So it was wonderful to get a behind-the-scenes look on the website with all the amazing content they have on their site.  This is the place to hang-out (or crash) if you want to see all the sexy footage of what Shine is working on with the hot stars in her films, for they post them all here first before they ever go to DVD.  And, there is lots of footage that is specifically just for the site, so stuff you’ll never see in the films themselves is here as well.

I got to watch Cyd & Red:  It was cool seeing them talk about their sexual likes and dislikes before the actual shoot as a form of negotiation.  You can also hear Shine’s directorial commentary to the performers, so it really lets you in behind-the-scenes, like you are there as one of the crew members.  Sweet!  You also have the option of downloading the clips to watch in Windows Media Player or QuickTime formats.  I prefer Media Player, so that was great for me.

They have six episodes to date up on the website and each episode has numerous scenes.  So there is a lot of to watch. It would take you weeks and weeks to go through all the content and watch all the videos, and at the rate they update, this would be a never-ending battle.  The site is stock full of hot photos of all episodes and the stars including Carson, Dallas, Donna, Dylan Ryan, Javier, Jake, Jiz Lee, Michele Aston, Lorelei Lee, Rozen Debowe, Shawn, Trouble, Trucker Cash, Vai, Wilder and many more.  You’ll see plenty of heartthrob bois, girls and gender-bending crushes on the site, many of which have yet to be seen on DVD.  The site also has a free forum where you can talk about various topics and even correspond with the stars and director themselves.

Crashpadseries.com is super hot and if you haven’t checked it out already, then you must be caught in some strange time warp in a very lame-ass parallel universe.  But, there is one way to break free and get the coveted key to the Crash Pad cosmos.  Cyber-surf your way over to Crashpadseries.com now so you don’t miss out on all the great content.  Just because they are so cool!  And, hey.  It’s hip to be cool.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Here’s a toast to the future, A toast to the past,
And a toast to our friends, far and near.May the future be pleasant;
The past a bright dream; May our friends remain faithful and dear. ~ Anonymous

May the roads rise to meet you.
May the wind be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face; The rain fall soft upon your fields
And, until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
A GAELIC BLESSING


It’s been a devastating year for sex writing. Audacia Ray sums it up the changes best in her post, “The End of the Sex Writer?”

Bloggers write for as many reasons are as there are blogs. And they cease writing, or go on hiatus for just as many reasons. Whatever the reason, here are a few notable ones I know about that have gone dark, or private, and will be missed.

Luna Beads

lelo luna beads Luna Beads

Although I have never had children, I still believe it is important to exercise my PC muscles on a regular basis. “Overtime, the vagina and its surrounding muscles on the pelvic floor can weaken, stretch, become torn and no longer offer support… Since the PC muscle also encircles the outside of the vagina, healthy PC muscles will improve sexual arousal… allow you to reach orgasm more easily, experience more powerful and pleasurable orgasms, and may even help you achieve multiple orgasms as you learn to better control and respond to your sexual arousal. Fit PC muscles also improve G-spot stimulation and can help you learn to experience G-spot orgasms and female ejaculation.”–from my article: Vaginal Health and Kegel Exercises.

But, to be honest, doing kegel exercises is often a drag.  Either I forget to do them, or get bored with them.  That’s where Luna Beads come in, thank you to the wonderful gals at Babeland.  I have tried various other kegel exercisers before including Fun Factory’s Smart Balls [my review].  And, although I liked Smart Balls and Fun Factory toys, for me they can’t compare to Luna Beads.  Lelo, a designer of pleasure objects and the creators of Luna Beads, just seems to do everything better.  They have an intuitive knowledge of a woman’s anatomy and make “pleasure items” that just feel and work to perfection.

Luna Beads are sleek and sexy.  They are made from PC-ABS plastic that is ultra-sleek and feels like silk against the skin.  The kit (housed in an elegant and practical storage box) comes with four weighted beads (two 28 gram beads and two 37 gram beads), a silicone composition girdle (to hold the beads in place when using two in tandem), an instruction booklet to show you how to use them, a satin storage bag and a one year warranty.

Now, you are probably wondering, “why all the beads”?  This is because Lelo has designed a neat little system to use the beads based on experience level and desired workout.  You can use just one bead starting at the lowest weight of 28 grams if you have never done kegels with beads before, for a “low impact” workout.  Add the second 28 gram bead to the first using the composition girdle and you have a 56 gram workout and two beads to squeeze around.  You can mix and match the beads for more challenging workouts and varying results, working your way up to the two 37 gram beads workout.  It is just an ingenious system!

What I love about Luna Beads is how they feel.  They slide in very easily with a bit of lube and are nice and small.  I found Smart Balls were a bit big for me and am much happier with the size of the Luna Beads.  They are quite perfect.  That doesn’t mean you won’t get a good work out from them, however, the workout will just be that much more comfortable.  I could actually wear these all day without worrying about them, they are so comfortable.  Plus, they are actually enjoyable to workout with.  They make kegels exercises much more exciting and pleasurable.  As a matter of fact, I used them while masturbating with a clitoral vibe (my favorite the Lily-also by Lelo) [my review].  Annie Sprinkle always promotes clenching your PC muscles while masturbating to experience bigger, better, longer, multiple orgasms and body-gasms.  Masturbating with the Luna Beads makes this much easier to do because you can concentrate on that area while feeling the balls inside you.  Well, I want to say that Annie is right (as usual) and with the help of Luna Beads I was able to have one of Annie’s mega-gasms.  Mine didn’t last five minutes like hers, but at least a minute I’m sure.  Seriously, I thank Luna Beads for helping me make this discovery.

I now try to wear Luna Beads on a daily basis, for an hour or so in the morning while drinking my tea and catching up with emails.  I have noticed my muscles seem much firmer already after only two weeks.  Before, doing kegels always seemed like a chore, but now they are such a pleasure.

Tell all your friends and make plans to join us, we’ll be headed to Seattle to wind down our annual tour with a two-night run of the “Best of CineKink” at The Grand Illusion Cinema.

Works in this traveling showcase run the gamut from documentary to drama, camp comedy to hot porn, mildy spicy to quite explicit – and everything in between. Among the offerings, the animated TEAT BEAT OF SEX presents three short lectures on sex. OFFICE MOBIUS traces a tawdry office flirtation. In SALT, three people share a passion for food – and other things. COMING OUT SPANKO is one woman’s autobiographical coming to terms with her kink identity, while CROSSING looks at what it takes to move between the realms of kink and “normality.” In SOMETHING ABOUT NADIA, three women recount the uncontrollable desire they feel for the mysterious Nadia. And in WHO’S THE TOP?, a fantastical S/M musical comedy, one writer finds her true self by determining who’s the bottom.

Friday/Saturday, January 2nd & 3rd, 11:00 PM
