For years, adult toy makers have been unable to sell their wares on TV commercials, but a new ad from Trojan featuring the company’s Tri-Phoria vibrator has made it on TV — by not saying the word “vibrator.” Instead, the unseen, boxed tool is referred to as “three massagers in one” that may result in “screams of ecstasy, curled toes, a sudden glow, and intense waves of pleasure.” The commercial doesn’t run only in the wee hours either, but, for example, during the day and early evening on Comedy Central during “The Daily Show.” Some — surely, sex toy sellers among them — may see the ad as “progress,” but it seems silly that in this day and age a vibrator is still taboo. Hey, it’s just a “personal massager.” [NY Times]

In “Doppelganger,” Porn Star Joanna Angel Has Sex With … Herself
Well, this is truly disturbing. In her latest movie, porn star-turned-director and alt-porn pioneer Joanna Angel has sex with her own inflatable sex doll. I mean, the one that is her. The movie is “Doppelganger,” which is German for lookalike, basically, or evil twin. I think this line pretty much sums up the plot, per the press release: “You won’t believe your eyes when the queen of alt-porn’s inflatable twin comes alive just to wreak havoc with her friends and career.” I hate it when my inflatable twin comes alive to wreak havoc on my life! Angel says working with her blow-up twin was a nightmare. Okayyyy. So, I am going to skip this one.

Google Instant Censors Sex-Related Searches
Oh, no! Google Instant doesn’t like your filthy word searches! You may have noticed something new happening in Google lately. When you start to type in a word, the search engine “helps” you finish the word. At first I didn’t like it — I type super fast and Instant slows me down — but I’ve realized it actually does help. Except if I’m searching for penises! Or vaginas! Or porn. As Mashable points out, Instant offers no help if you’re looking for things sex related. For example, start typing in the word “penis.” Instead of finishing the wang word for you, it offers … “penny arcade.” Um, no. What about “vagina”? You get … Vagisil. That is not what I was looking for, Google. And the ever popular “porn”? You get nothing. No help for you, porn searchers! Google says it’s to protect the kiddies. What do you think?

Women Masturbate In Weird Places, Too
Yesterday, I wrote about a survey that revealed 11-percent of men under 30 masturbate while they’re driving. I was confused. Why are you guys spanking your monkey behind the wheel, I wondered. Rather than dudes responding in the comments with why they play their skin flutes rather than focusing on, you know, driving, a lot of you ladies admitted that you have a penchant for, as Amelia puts it, “stroking the man in the boat” in some pretty odd places, as well. Like, while driving. Or behind your desk in your cubicle. Tricky! (For the record, we don’t condone doing anything other than driving while driving.) Where are weird places that you — or, you know, your female “friends” — have masturbated? Keep reading »

The Lady Gaga Sex Doll Is Called Lady Gag Gag
I have to confess, now that the Lady Gaga sex doll has arrived, I did not see this one coming. I am intimately familiar with the celebrity sex doll phenomenon. Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan — they’ve all got their own love dolls already. But Lady Gaga? And naming it Lady Gag Gag is pretty — well, it’s pretty something, isn’t it? Ingenious? Perhaps. It seems she wants to “Take A Ride On Your Disco Stick!” Or, better yet, “She Loves It When You Poke-Her Face!” Who gets this job, writing copy for sex doll boxes? I must apply. Check out another shot after the jump. Keep reading »
When A Condom Gets In The Way
It’s great when birth control works to our advantage. It’s horrible when the way it works is to stop us from having sex in the first place! This week, one CafeMom finds herself, for medical reasons, needing to use condoms for a few months. But she’s getting objections from an important player in the scenario. What’s a frisky girl to do?
Condoms: Help me out! How do I get one on my husband if he goes limp at the very sight of it? It’s so frustrating, and I am trying everything! Read more … Keep reading »
