A handsome
young lad went into the hospital for some minor surgery, and the
day after the procedure a friend stopped by to see how the guy
was doing. His friend was amazed at the number of nurses who entered
the room in short intervals with refreshments, offers to fluff
his pillows, make the bed, give back rubs, etc. "Why all the attention?"
the friend asked, "You look fine to me." "I know!" grinned the
patient. "But the nurses kind of formed a little fan club when
they all heard that my circumcision required twenty-seven stitches."

Making Sexuality Fun & Creative
People
around the world are looking for the latest sex toy to delight
their senses. This article will review some of the top companies
providing the hottest trends in all the creative bedrooms
across the globe.
The
Companies Who Make Them-
Lisa

HolisticWisdom.com Founder
Consumers
of sex toys know the difference between a high quality and cheap
sex toy. When you spend your hard earned dollars on one, you expect
it to last more than two weeks. Those who have made the mistake
of purchasing non-brand name sex toys or cheap ones have found
out the hard way that it is worth making sure you get a reputable
brand.
So
who are the top companies for quality? Here
are who we rate the best-
Vibrators
Vibratex,
Inc.
This company has been in business for well over 16 years.
It is owned by a couple in California who pride themselves
on creativity and quality in all the toys they distribute.
That is why we highly recommend their toys whenever we get
a chance. I personally own several of their toys: The
Waterdancer, Rabbit
Habit, and Hitachi
Magic Wand and have had all of them for over
3 years. They are all still going strong!
Fun
Factory
Fun Factory is a high quality German engineered sex toy
line that offers fun approaches to sex toys while providing
durability and pleasureful design.
Tantus
Silicone
This is a company that we just started working with, but
we feel that they are great. We are going to be adding many
more of their products on our web site as time continues.
In the meantime, the most remarkable of their inventions
is the Feeldoe
which is patented with good reason. We have been selling
these with great success and received many eMails from pleased
customers about them!
Sue
Johanson Sex Toy Line
Sue Johanson, a grandmother who has been known to sew her
own clothes and curtains, is at first glance an unlikely
person for California Exotic Novelties to develop a signature
line of adult novelties around – but that’s only if you’re
unaware of the Canadian sex educator’s successful sex advice
show on the Oxygen Network.
Glass
Phallix
Glass One of the biggest trends in sex toys is using the beautiful
yet very practical material of Pyrex glass. What makes the
product great beyond it's sheer beauty, is that it can be
easily warmed and cooled for erotic sensations, and easily
sanitized... even in the dishwasher! Phallix Glass is the
best company because they make sure that the colors used
in the glass our carefully placed under the glass to prevent
any of the chemicals that make those colors from coming
into contact with your skin and private parts. Their commitment
to safety, quality and artistic ability surpasses all other
glass toy companies and that is why we highly recommend
them!
Sleeves
Fleshlight
There are quite a few makers of masturbation sleeves on
the market. We have tested and spoken to many users of them.
There are none that surpass the feeling of the Fleshight.
Their ingenious "Flashlight" cover combined with
easy ability to clean and sensual sensations makes them
the best of the best.
Lubricants
Astroglide
& ForPlay
There are so many lubricants on the market, but the few
that stand out are Astroglide & ForPlay in our book.
Astroglide is our top pick for a few reasons. First and
foremost it is helpful in reducing the risk of HIV transmission
as lab tests show that it kills HIV-infected white blood
cells and HIV in seminal fluid. Second, it is one of the
best waterbased lubricant that comes in plain, flavored
and warming versions. ForPlay is our favorite waterbased
lubricant when it comes to flavor... because hands down
after many taste tests with other brands we found their
flavors to be the most realistic without the bitter or odd
aftertaste that many other flavored lubricants have.
Liberator
Liberator
Shapes & Other Bedroom Gear
Liberator is the inventor of one of the most unique position
enhancing products on the market today. These shapes assist
couples in achieving exciting new positions for a variety
of purposes. We strongly recommend Liberator Shapes for
a fun new way of creating bedroom fun.
Make
A Dildo
Make
Your Own Dildo Kits
The makers of these unique products are leaders in the field
of molding your own body parts. Many men have been impressed
with the results. They make great gifts for bachelorette
and bachelor parties as well as a great way for men to give
their "love" to their lover when they are away.
Sex
Machines
Jetaime
& Sybian
There are many sex machines (aka- fucking machines) out
on the market today. While some are rather unique the J'taime
and Sybian are the leaders in the market. They are high
quality, handcrafted machines that deliver what they promise.
Take a look at out sex machine reviews to see why these
two companies offer only the best.
There are
of course many other great companies that we will give you the
inside scoop on. If you have one that you would like to recommend,
we would love to hear your insights. After all, it is what you
ultimately think about a product that makes it great.

Internet Free Speech Trial Wraps Up December
2006
Following
a four-week trial, the ACLU presented concluding arguments this
month in its long-standing challenge to Internet censorship law.
The law, now known as the "Child Online Protection Act" (COPA),
was signed by President Clinton in 1998 but has never been enforced.
The law as written would impose draconian criminal sanctions,
with penalties of up to $50,000 per day and up to six months imprisonment,
for online material acknowledged as valuable for adults but judged
"harmful to minors."
"Since Congress
passed this law, the Internet has changed and it is now clear
that this harsh, criminal law won't come close to achieving its
goals," said Chris Hansen, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU.
"It is also clear that other alternatives, including education
and filtering, are far more effective for those parents who want
to limit access by their children to certain websites using their
own values." The ACLU presented evidence from a broad range of
Internet speakers including online magazines, an online dictionary,
rap artists, painters and video artists, providers of safer sex
information and writers.
Attorneys
argued that the censorship law directly violates the First Amendment
rights of the ACLU’s plaintiffs and tens of millions of other
speakers to communicate protected expression on the Internet.
COPA represents Congress' second attempt to impose severe criminal
and civil sanctions on the display of protected, non-obscene speech
on the Internet. A first attempt, the Communications Decency Act
of 1996, was declared unconstitutional by all nine Justices of
the Supreme Court in Reno v. ACLU. "The constitutionally protected
right to freedom of speech applies to all mediums of communication,
including the Internet," said Hansen.
Think about
it this way, if a web site that sells adult sex toys says the
word toys, then that can be perceived as harmful to a minor to
lure them to the site.
Alabama
Case Could Redefine Child Porn December
2006
Alabama focused
a new spotlight on some of the inherent absurdities in U.S. child
pornography and record-keeping laws. Indictments charge Marc Evan
Greenberg, 42, Jeffrey Robert Libman, 39, and Webe Web Corporation—all
of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.—and teen glamour photographer Jeff Pierson,
43, of Brookwood, Ala., with conspiring to produce and distribute
child pornography via the Web.
On the surface,
the charges seem straightforward: however, the teens photographed
are fully clothed and are not doing anything sexual. Some courts
have held that any image that exposes a child’s genitalia—clothed
or nude—is lascivious; others have ruled lascivious images are
ones that seem designed to elicit a sexual response in viewers.
One court even noted “the motive of the photographer in taking
pictures may be a factor, since children are not necessarily mature
enough to project sexuality consciously, and thus, sexuality of
depictions often is imposed upon them by attitude of viewer or
photographer”
Schools
Adjust To Transgender Teachers December
2006
About 20
transgender teachers are working in classrooms nationwide, but
more are in the process of "transitioning," experts estimate.
That opens up a host of issues the teachers -- and their employers
and students -- have to deal with. "The question often arises:
Are transgender people competent to be employees, and those questions
can come from co-workers, management or students," said Chris
Daley, director of the Transgender Law Center in San Francisco.
"
"It's not
about acceptance, although that would be nice. It's about law
and policy, which states that it's illegal to discriminate against
someone on the basis of gender." Daley said the same rules apply
to transgender teachers as anyone else. "Just treat them like
you would any other employee," he said. "Give them a supportive,
comfortable work environment, and you won't have any problems."
Sex
Educators to Launch Spray-on Condom December
2006
Sex educators
in Germany are planning to launch a spray-on condom. The spray-on
condom would help people enjoy sex more while having safe sex.
The spray allows the user to insert his penis in the can which
then coats it with latex rubber with the push of a button. It
would be ready for use within five seconds of spraying and it
would be a more effective contraceptive than a regular condom
because it would fit better.
The new high-tech
condom likely would not be available until 2008, but once it hits
stores it will come in different colors, strengths and sizes.
The can would cost about $26 while the latex cartridges for the
spray can would run about $13.
People in
a small town in Western Canada are so fed up with the rotten state
of their main road that they came up with an unusual form of protest
-- a calendar that shows them posing nude in the potholes. One
inhabitant of Leader, Saskatchewan, is shown sitting in a canoe
that is perched in a pothole. Another has his dignity preserved
by a well-placed camera while a third man covers up with a strategic
hubcap. "The initial impression when people open the calendar
for the first time is 'Oh my God!'
It's pretty
dramatic," said Wayne Elhard, the local member of the provincial
legislature. Leader, a town of just 1,000 in a largely farming
area of southwest Saskatchewan, says it can't afford to fix all
its roads. "The potholes are not small, one-foot diameter potholes.
They are many feet across and sometimes they're as deep as a foot
deep and sometimes they will stretch for yards (meters)," Elhard
told CBC television on Wednesday. He said that, over the summer,
local authorities had covered the worst stretch of the main road
with gravel to improve safety. "It's been a constant problem.
We've raised it with the (provincial) government every opportunity
we had ... all to no avail, frankly," he said.
Conservative
Rabbis Reconsider Stance on Gay Sex December
2006
After years
of debate, the Conservative Jewish movement is on the verge of
redefining its approach to homosexuality, a pivotal decision for
a movement that occupies a shrinking middle ground between Orthodox
and Reform Judaism.
Although the
answers have not been made public, Conservative leaders said that
two defend the traditional position that Leviticus 18:22 -- "Do
not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; it is an abomination"
-- prohibits homosexuality between men and, by extension, between
women. The other three proposals offer various arguments for reinterpreting
that prohibition. On a practical level, they could open the way
for Conservative rabbis to perform same-sex commitment ceremonies
and for Conservative seminaries to ordain openly gay rabbis. "I
think the committee is deeply divided -- like the rest of society
is divided, like our movement is divided," said Rabbi Joel H.
Meyers, executive vice president of the Rabbinical Assembly, the
main association of Conservative rabbis. "But the tension has
grown to the point that the committee is hard-pressed to give
some clear guidance to the movement."
Some leading
Christian conservatives, angry over the Global Fund to Fight AIDS's
promotion of condoms and its perceived lack of support for faith-based
programs, are pushing Congress to cut US support for the AIDS
initiative.
This year,
Congress sent $545 million to the fund, $245 million more than
President Bush requested. Nonetheless, Brandt said he wants the
government to eliminate all spending on the Global Fund's HIV
programs because it is not providing sufficient money to faith
groups and has given little support to abstinence messages.
