I Got Rolfed And I Liked It

Wendy AtterberryMay 11, 2010 //

This year I finally crossed off something I’ve had on my to-do list since I was 20: I got Rolfed. Rolfing, for those who are unfamiliar with the term, is a type of bodywork “that reorganizes the connective tissues, called fascia, that permeate the entire body.” If massage therapy addresses the muscles, and chiropractic work addresses the joints, Rolfing focuses on everything in between, literally. It’s thought to greatly improve posture, release tension, alleviate pain, restore flexibility, and generally help someone feel more energized and comfortable in his or her body. I first heard of Rolfing in one of my college acting classes. Or maybe it was “movement” class. Did you know that’s a class you can take in college? Basically, for two hours a day, two days a week, you get to stretch out, dance around, roll on mats all over the floor and pound on your classmates’ backs in warm-up circles. Hell yeah, I was a theater minor. It beat the hell out of taking classes that might actually prepare me to make a living. At least, it did at the time. Keep reading »

10 Things Women Forget To Do During Sex

Jessica WakemanAugust 19, 2009 //

When it comes to men and sex, I’ve noticed that special requests usually come along the lines of an instant upgrade: if I’m giving a hand job, they ask for a blowjob, and if I’m giving a blowjob, well, why not full-on sex? That’s simple enough for me to handle if it makes sexytime shine.

But we’re all about equality here at The Frisky and it wouldn’t be very egalitarian of us to hinthintHINT to our dudes with our 10 Things Men Forget To Do During Sex list without engaging in a little self-improvement ourselves. After the jump, we asked a few men—who, let it be known, all said “Don’t forget to touch our balls!”—to help us out. Keep reading »

5 Kinda Lame Things Single Women Do That Are Actually Fun

Jessica WakemanJune 25, 2009 //

Last night, my guy went to watch Megan Fox’s hot body, I mean, “Transformers 2.” One girlfriend wanted me to grab dinner and another wanted to see a movie.

But the only thing I wanted to do was eat half a bag of potato chips for dinner, flip through Women’s Health and paint my nails with a hot pink polish so bright it would blind a newborn.

So you know what? That’s what I did.

Kinda lame, I know. But I had a really great relationship with myself for those two years that I was single and last night reminded me there are some kinda lame things single women do that are actually really fun. Keep reading »

The Female “Happy Ending” Massage

YourTango.comMay 13, 2009 //

Chances are you’ve heard the story: an unmarked door leads to a dimly-lit massage parlor where women with strong hands and tolerant smiles await a train of libidinous male patrons. The “happy ending” tale is all too common, a mixture of truth and urban legend that captivates male imaginations even in an age of casual sex and unlimited Internet porn. Keep reading »

Every Girl Can Get Her Happy Ending

SimchaOctober 16, 2008 //

No matter where I seem to live in New York City, my neighbor is always a “handy shack,” aka a massage parlor that doles out happy endings. Currently, I live next to a place with a basement entrance, a neon red light, and middle-aged masseuses who wait for customers behind veiled curtains. It purports itself to be a Chinese Healing Center — hey, as we all know, there are many benefits to sexual healing. The handwritten sign in the window advertises a deal for “61 minutes.” My best friend thinks that extra minute is all the time their clients need to prematurely ejaculate, but I think it really says 69 illegibly.

We see men go and come there, and I even have a married friend who frequents it. It’s always hilarious when I catch him with a big smile on his way out. Parlors like that are a dime a dozen in the city, but nothing tops where I lived fresh out of college. The infamous Russian Turkish Bath House of the East Village was the building in my backyard. I recommend taking a gander at their video to get a sense of the experience. I myself spent many a night watching the free porn that went on in their outdoor pool, so, I was not surprised to read that they are…how should I put it… a full-service operation. Keep reading »

    Chastity Belts For Massage Therapists

    Catherine StrawnApril 10, 2008 //

    Masseuses in Indonesia’s East Java province have been asked by the local government to wear a lock on their pants in an attempt to curb prostitution. Aren’t you curious who keeps the keys? Some people don’t think this is a brilliant idea: “It is not the right way to prevent promiscuity,” said Meuthia Hatta, state minister for women’s empowerment. “It insults women as if they are the ones in the wrong.” [News.com.au] Keep reading »
