This Issue's Sex Joke

Sex Signals For The Deaf Couple

Two deaf people got married. During the first week of marriage, they found they were unable to communicate in the bedroom when they turn the lights off because they can't see each other using sign language.

After several nights of fumbling around and misunderstandings, the wife decides to find a solution. "Honey," she signs, "Why don't we agree on some simple signals? For instance, at night, if you want to have sex with me, reach over and squeeze my right breast one time. If you don't want to have sex, reach over and squeeze my left breast one time."

The husband thinks this is a great idea and signs back to his wife, "Great idea, now if you want to have sex with me, reach over and pull on penis one time." "If you don't want to have sex, reach over and pull on my penis... fifty times."

Wedding Sex
      Part Two- De-stressing The Wedding Night

Planning a wedding can cause so much stress you lose sight of one another. Often times couples are so focused on wedding details, friends and family that they tend to feel disconnected from one another.

When the wedding night finally arrives, many couples feel a bit awkward in trying to reconnect after so much focus on everything else. Taking time to prevent some of the disconnect from one another and a little preparation is always a good idea.

Time Spent Before The Wedding

Keep Dating

Most likely you and your fiancée are saving money for the wedding and going out together has been significantly reduced. However, it might be wise to spend a little on treating yourselves to alone time, where you do not discuss the wedding, rather you spend your time talking about other, non-stressful things. Use this time to flirt, have a glass of wine if it suits you and relax for a candle lit, romantic dinner. Doing this before the wedding will help you to stay connected and prevent feeling out of sorts on your wedding night.

If you can't go to a nice restaurant, take a stroll through a park and have a picnic. The key here is not how much you spend on your dates, but making sure you have them. This will also set the tone for the marriage that your relationship is the priority, and that even under stress, you can come together and enjoy each other's company.

Declare Wedding Free Times

Have times that you set aside where the wedding is not the focus. Take a weekend where you do nothing but focus on fun with one another.

Plan Fun Activities Just For The Two Of You

Like To Cook?
Spend time making a special meal together.

Feel Like A Kid
Go to an amusement park and enjoy some childlike cutting loose.

Museums, Aquariums, Zoos
Make plans to go to places that you only take out of town visitors to. Often times there are many resources right in your own town that afford a day or evening of fun and a way to cut loose.

Play Some Games
Challenge your mate to a night of games: Pictionary, Scrabble, Backgammon, even good old cards. Heck, for laughs try some Go Fish! Also, if you want to play some naughty games, check out our selection!

Have A Movie Night
Don't just put in a movie, make it special, get out the popcorn, snowcaps and rootbeer! Jazz up a night in front of the TV with a comedy or romantic movie, and if you both have a favorite movie you have not seen in years... see that! Nothing like a night with the phone off the hook and some snuggley time.

Get Outta Town!
Take a drive to a town that you don't know very well. Spend the day discovering new shops and have a special lunch or dinner at a new place. Make the drive an adventure. Talk about funny childhood memories, play your favorite songs, talk about your fun times as a couple and even play games together like the license plate game.

Don't Forget To Do Nice Things For One Another

Give your sweetie a wonderful massage with scented candles, massage oils and soft music! You can even make it a mutual exchange.
Create your own meal, dessert or cocktail together. Then make up a name for it by combining your two names.
Write love notes on the steamy mirror while your sweetie is in the shower.
Make your them their favorite childhood meal for dinner.
Take turns reading aloud to each other from a book one chapter each night.
Find your love's car in a parking lot and tuck a love note under the windshield wiper.
Call your honey's favorite radio station and dedicate a song when you know he or she is listening.
Stop whatever you are doing and give your baby a big, wet kiss.

Things To Avoid At The Wedding

Don't Smash Cake On Their Face
This is so over done, it is passive aggressive, and the guests are most often not amused. If you are looking for something funny to do, try having the groom put the garter on his leg and have the bride take it off for a laugh, or have the bride grab the groom's tush during the first dance. These are loving, and humorous acts. Things like this also catch the guests off guard and add to the excitement.

Don't Drink Too Much
Imagine the hangover the next morning, let alone the groom's ability to get it up for the wedding night. There is no harm in getting buzzed and having a good time, but getting ripped is awkward for your guests and you risk ruining things by vomiting, passing out or even getting into arguments.

Take A Dance Lesson
Take some time to learn how to move on the dance floor. It can make a fun date before the wedding and will make the ceremony feel fun when you offer dazzling moves like a dip and twirl!

Write Your Own Vows
Saying something personal to one another during the ceremony often makes for some of the most moving weddings. You can make it short and sweet and even read from a note so as to make it less stressful, but just saying I love you without having the wedding officiant telling you to makes it personal.

Making A Honeymoon At Home

If you are looking to have your wedding night, or even wanting to make a romantic evening at home, here are some tips to make it special.

Clean Or Hire A Maid
Getting fresh bed sheets to new towels and a clean bathroom will enhance the setting for a home honeymoon.

Stock Up On Special Foods
Champagne, strawberries, chocolate and other romantic foods are a great way to enjoy a romantic evening together.

Provide Romantic Entertainment
From a romantic movie, book to music, make sure to enhance the evening with special entertainment that you will both enjoy.

No Phone or eMail
In this time of high tech we often make ourselves completely accessible to all of life's stresses. Turn them off and devote the night to one another.

Dress Sensually
Dress in sexy boxers, lingerie or night gown. Make the night special by dressing your best.

Lolling With Laxmi
         Submitted By Abbhi

If you enter my office, the first thing you are bound to notice is my secretary Laxmi. She sits right outside my office facing the main door and has been refusing to be moved from there. You will notice her not just because she is out there in the front, but because she has a personality and body which no one can ignore. She is petite and very fair, has large black eyes and jet black hair. She can say so many things with her eyes, just looking at you. That is why a shy person like me...

But wait, let me not get ahead of the story. The next thing(s) which you are bound to notice depends on whether she is standing or sitting, and whether she is facing you or has turned around. You know what I mean. Well, now let’s move on...

One Sunday afternoon, I was alone in the office. I had been away on tour for almost a week and had returned only the previous evening. Usually, when I work on a holiday - which I often do - I lock the outer office door and work in my inner office. I have a rather large couch in the inner area of my office to rest when I feel tired. But that day I had left the outer door open on purpose for I was waiting for my secretary.

The previous evening, when she was leaving, I had requested her to come on Sunday to attend to some urgent work. As I sat there, going through the pile of papers on my table, I saw a shadow on my table and looked up to see my secretary Laxmi, peering through the office door.

As I looked at her she said, “May I come in, sir?” “Please come in, Laxmi,” I said, “I have called you for some personal work today.” I said. What I did not say aloud was that she was welcome any time. She was a watcher’s delight and, every day as she sat in the outer office, I watched her beautiful behind all day through the one way glass of my office. I get to see the front view, only when she comes in.

Her presence always excites me sexually. I had sensed that she felt the same in my presence. However, matters had not progressed beyond flirting when our fingertips touched during the course of work, sending electrifying waves to my brain.

When this incident happened, Laxmi had been with me for six months, minus the 1 month leave she had taken recently and had joined only a week back. Now as she entered my office, her blouse slipped a few inches down from one shoulder. I realized that she was wearing a beautifully embroidered bra under her semitransparent white silk blouse. The edges of the bra and spaghetti thin elastic straps formed a beautiful pattern, and were visible through the thin translucent blouse material.

“I learned from the office staff that you often come alone to office on Sundays.” Laxmi said. “You wanted to meet me alone?” “Yes. Please lock the door, so that we are not disturbed and then take a seat.” I invited her. She turned the key in the lock without a question and came and sat in front of me, resting her elbows on my tabletop and joining her fingers under her chin. This way I had a closer view of her milky, white breasts - one was partially hidden under the blouse but the beautiful pattern on the other one was now clearly visible at close range.

She saw where I was looking, and her eyes quickly looked down at her own bosom. But without making any move to lift the blouse back in its position she looked back with smoldering eyes straight in mine. She knew I was watching her breasts and she was clearly challenging me to squeeze them. With that glance, in that moment I knew that she and I were going to be full-fledged lovers before we left office that afternoon.

This simple exchange in glances immediately set things rolling. Color started rising in her cheeks and I could feel the moment was exciting her as much as it was exciting me. Her cheeks were now a rosy pink and her eyes were sparkling with excitement.

I decided it was high time to take the initiative that in most cases, even a sexually aroused female wants the male to take. All of a sudden I leaned forward across the table and inserted my index and middle finger underneath her blouse and bra; I felt the soft yet taut, fair surface of her breast, but withdrew my hand quickly before she could react. Although my movements were a surprise to her, her body had reacted involuntarily and thrust her breast forward in anticipation.

As I quickly withdrew my hand a gasp escaped her half-parted lips, it seemed more out of disappointment than surprise. “I think an insect, most probably an ant, has entered your bra. But it moved deeper, before I could catch it.” “My god!” she exclaimed, “what will I do now? What if the ant bites my soft breasts. You must have felt how soft I am there.” It was obvious that she was responding to my ploy positively. “We will have to look deeper under your bra to catch it.” I said. “Please look wherever you think it is necessary to look - but please remove the insect, please.”

She begged and inserting her hand under her blouse bra began searching. I got up from my chair and walked over so that I was behind her chair. She leaned backwards and looked at me with her head thrown back. I held her small but firm breasts in my palms and started feeling under the fabric. “I will check both your breasts simultaneously,” I said, “so that it should not run from one to the other as I try to catch it.” “This is a very good idea,” said Laxmi, “please take both of them and check thoroughly.” I cupped both her breasts in my palms and started rubbing them gently. However, I did not touch the area of her nipples directly.

“Did you catch it?” she asked, “please catch it as early as possible.” “I think the fabric is coming in the way...” I said. “Then remove it forthwith,” she gave me full permission. Standing close to her, and with her face turned up towards me, I noticed a tiny mole on her upper lip. Her lips were half parted and her breathing had become faster. My own breathing had become rather heavy in anticipation of the promise of the wonderful afternoon of sex awaiting me.

I placed my lips on hers and put only a slight pressure on them. This again was not anticipated by her. In the brief second she realized that I was kissing her, her lips had already started reacting involuntarily by pressing back against my lips.

Laxmi invited me into further action. Without a word, I instantly moved my hands to her blouse and undid all the buttons. My action was so quick, she was left gasping. Then slowly and deliberately, I pushed the two open front pieces of her blouse aside, and pushing them a few inches off her beautiful round shoulders, started examining her bra-clad breasts methodically. An exotic perfume filled my nostrils. She must have applied it under her arms. I touched the skin between her cleavage tentatively with my fingers and then moved them all over her bra.

Blood rushed to her cheeks. I bent forward to get a better view and my cheek almost touched hers. A few stray curls of her hair which had come loose from her braid brushed against my cheek. Very tenderly I squeezed her breasts. “Please check them thoroughly,” she whispered, “I am really scared of insects.”

She raised herself from the chair, so that I could slide the blouse down her arms. In doing so her breasts jutted forward and outward. I took off her blouse it had the exhilarating mixture of the scent of the sweat from her armpits and the scent she had applied. I caught her upturned chin and once again placed my lips on hers. This time her response was quick and complete.

Before I had time to pull back, she started a very wet and passionate kiss. Losing control, I too started kissing back with equal fervor. Our lips curled against each other and tiny sounds escaped at intervals from our moist mouths. I started moving my palms over her shoulders, which were now naked except for the bra straps. I traced the straps down to the bra cups. It has always surprised me that hard breasts have very soft skin. I moved my hands all around them and then squeezed them again. She let go a sigh of desire and slumped back against me.

I moved my hands down towards her flat belly and started circling her navel in a slow gentle motion. With this she moved out of the chair, with a flurry of her dropped blouse showing me her beautiful slim feminine figure. Her behind was flared slightly at the hips. I had a full erection by this time, and she glanced directly at my trouser front while closing in with me.

After she had unbuttoned a couple of my shirt buttons, she inserted her palm inside and started caressing my chest. Now it was my turn to gasp with excitement as she lightly touched the areola around my nipples. Her own lips twisted with anticipation as her fingers reached one nipple. I reached down and put my hand over her exposed waist and started caressing it.

At this she looked up at me; her light brown eyes were filled with a simple, pure, unashamed but innocent desire for sex with me; it may sound strange to call the desire for sex ‘innocent’ but that is the only word I can think of for what I saw in her eyes.

She responded by thrusting both her hands on my chest and gripping each of my nipple between the forefinger and thumb of each of her hand. As she did this she raised her face and looked up at me longingly. The next moment we were kissing like mad. This time she opened her mouth and my tongue went into it tasting the salty taste of her mouth.

Our tongues met hungrily, twisting and coiling against each other like two snakes making love. I moved my hands holding her just above the buns and held her tightly pressing her crotch against mine. She too moved closer and pressed her crotch and moved it against my erection. I responded by dipping my hands under her sari at the back and top of her panties and felt the rising slope of her buns.

With this I brought my hand to the front of her waist and slowly moved to her thighs with my hands as I said this. I could feel the smooth skin all over the front and back of her thighs through the thin silk fabric of her panties.

Once again she gave me that sweet innocent yet carnal smile, looking back over her shoulder, and once again our lips locked in a wet kiss.. We kissed hungrily. She was so aroused by this that she started grinding her buns on my erection.

“May I now open and see what it is up to?” And without waiting for my permission, she knelt in front of me and started unzipping my trousers. As she knelt in front of me, I had a superb view of her beautiful shoulders and the beautiful skin on the bulge of her breasts.

Whilst on the rear her slim waist expanded from her bikini cord into a neat bottom with two beautiful naked silky buttocks. She undid the zipper and putting her hand inside grasped my cock beneath the brief. It expanded under her firm caress. Looking up at me she said with a sweet smile. With loving hands she slid my trousers caressingly down my thighs.

Simultaneously I reached and started caressing her bare shoulders. When the trousers reached my ankles, she held them down with the toes of her feet, while I stepped out of them. In the meanwhile Laxmi started moving her fingers through the curls on my thighs. Then as she once again put her hands on the waist band of my shorts and inserted two fingers to pull them down. I drew her up to me and began passionately kissing her.

We kissed each other for an even longer time, while my hands undid the clasp of her bra on her back. As the two straps on the back hung loose and slid down, I started caressing her back. She moved closer and embraced me tightly, rubbing her now unsupported breasts under the cloth of her bra on my naked chest.

Simultaneously our crotches met and rubbed against each other. I pushed her away and holding the two straps on her shoulders pushed them down her arms. She responded by squealing with delight as I caught her naked breasts in my hands and squeezed them gently. Then slowly I released them and bent forward to view them.

I started sucking her nipple and it started erecting and further growing in my mouth. I let it out of my mouth and took the other beauty in my lips. But with my fingers I kept rubbing the nipple which I had just let off my mouth.

Laxmi held my face tightly against her bosom and kept caressing my ears, kissing my forehead and murmuring under her breath. Now I started moving my hands down her back and soon reached the waist band of her thong. She opened her buns by bending her knees. I took her invitation and started rubbing the thin cord in to her behind. She started squirming and holding my hand in her buns by pressing them together. I pushed them aside by holding each in one palm and then with the forefinger of my right hand, slid the now wet cord aside and started rubbing her there.

She stood naked in front of me with our clothes strewn all over my office. She said and holding the elastic in the waistband pulled my me down. I stepped out of it and stood with my cock sticking out in front of me. I then led her by her hand to the couch inside and made her sit on it.

She parted her thighs and kneeling in front of her I pushed her back so I could have a good look at her beautiful mons. She was smooth-shaven there. The outer lips were slightly wrinkled and darker in color compared to the skin on her thighs. The inner ones were pinkish and glistening. They led to the wonderful mound which sat on top of them. I put a finger on it and started massaging it slowly in a circular motion. As I bent forward to have a closer look the sweet aroma emanating from there hit me in the face.

I inserted a finger gently in her. She squirmed and grasped it with her muscles. Slowly I moved it in circles and she released it. It went smoothly in the slick hole. I operated it a few times tentatively. “Push it deeper,” she urged.

I now used my index finger along with the middle finger and started probing deeper. I moved the fingers around. She lay still savoring the movement for some time. Then bending forward to look at me she reached forward and extracting my fingers I stood up in front of her. She clasped my cock in her hand and bending forward started examining it. She caressed the scrotum with the other hand gently tracing the ducts which emerged from the testicles upwards.

She looked at the tip of my penis and seeing the little drop of fluid which had appeared there, gave it a quick lick. She sucked slowly and lovingly on it, then when she started putting it deeper, I stopped her.

I pushed her back and plunged onward as she fell backwards. She opened her thighs wide and guided my cock in her gaping hole as I lay on top of her. “Put it deeper, deeper,” she said in my ears.

"Thrust harder, harder against the walls of my vagina.” She started raising her pelvis to meet my thrusts, keeping the rhythm. Soon the room was filled with sounds of her moaning, my grunts and the slick, liquid sounds that were emanating from the sacred union of our organs.

I humped her faster and faster until she screamed out in orgasm. Soon we were both crying out in bliss and then it was all quiet except for our labored breathing as I lay on top of her. My fantasy was finally fulfilled and much to my delight, so was hers. We never did find the ant. LOL

US Government Aggressively Attacking Porn While Selling It
March 2007

The United States has been rocked for the past couple of weeks over the firing of seven U.S. Attorneys (USAs) from their districts around the country, but according to the New York Times, at least two of those firings were apparently due to the USAs' failure to get on board the administration's anti-pornography train.

Some have voiced doubt about the Bush administration's dedication to prosecuting adult business owners; the firing of two US Attorneys because they would not go along with the government's anti-porn agenda should put an end to such doubts.

Meanwhile District of Arizona (trustees employed by the US Department of Justice) Selling Porn.

What is most interesting in all of this is that while US Attorney Paul Charlton was busy indicting Five Star and JM and their employees for interstate transportation of obscene materials – "obscene" under the community standards of the District of Arizona – trustees employed by the US Department of Justice were selling and had sold those exact same titles ... in Arizona and other Castle stores in Oregon and Washington state.

To say the least, this presents the US Attorney's office in Arizona with a problem: How can it legitimately argue that the four features under indictment violate Arizona's community standards for obscenity when other stores in the same state, all under the control of US government employees, have been selling those same features – and in two instances, sold one of the features in two different locations several days after the indictment came down?

The Senate Judiciary Committee will take a hard look at the circumstances of Paul Charlton's firing ... and possibly also at the Bush administration's obsession with mounting federal obscenity cases even when local US Attorneys think they're unwinnable.

Can't Refer To A Vagina In High School
March 2007

Three female students at John Jay High School who had been threatened with suspension for unauthorized use of the word "vagina" during an event sponsored by the school literary magazine now no longer need fear the punishment, thanks to an intervention by the local superintendent of schools.

John Jay principal Richard Leprine had imposed the one-day, in-school suspensions on Hannah Levinson, Megan Reback and Elan Stahl on March 2, after the girls reneged on a promise to Leprine that they would not perform a planned reading from Eve Ensler's play, "The Vagina Monologues."

In imposing the punishments, Leprine claimed that they were not an attempt at censorship, but rather imposed because the event was open to the community, including children, and that therefore, the word "vagina" was inappropriate.

Superintendent Robert Lichtenfeld sidestepped that public confrontation and lifted the suspensions, after speaking with the girls and their parents. According to news reports, the girls took turns reading excerpts from the portion of the play titled "My Short Skirt," until they came to the banned word, which they said together as a sign of unity. "My short skirt is a liberation flag in the women's army," the crucial excerpt went. "I declare these streets, any streets, my vagina's country."

"When I was able to say the word 'vagina' and be proud to say it and it wasn't crude and it wasn't inappropriate and it was very real and very pure, it was important to me," Reback said. "We were willing and ready to take whatever came."

Playwright Ensler, who grew up in Scarsdale, just a few miles from the school, offered to take part in a public meeting to discuss why it was important for girls of high school age to feel comfortable saying the word "vagina," citing the fact that women are "disempowered by lack of education" as the root of much of the violence directed against women. "What is wrong about the word 'vagina,' which is the correct biological term for a body part?"

Ensler asked. "It is not slang. It is not dirty or racy. The fact that it was censored is an indication of exactly what is going on in American schools, where girls and boys are not being educated about their bodies in a healthy way. We're pushing everything into the closet."

The girls indicated that they well understood what was at stake. "The message of this piece, if we took out the word 'vagina,' would be contradicting itself," said Stahl, a junior. "And we shouldn't have to censor it and we're not going to censor our own bodies, and we're still going to be strong, independent women in the school."

 

Sen. John McCain Stumbles on HIV Prevention
March 2007

Senator John McCain met a question, while sitting with reporters on his bus as it rumbled through Iowa today, that he couldn’t – or perhaps wouldn’t – answer. Did he support the distribution of taxpayer-subsidized condoms in Africa to fight the transmission of HIV?

What followed was a long series of awkward pauses, glances up to the ceiling and the image of one of Mr. McCain’s aides, standing off to the back, urgently motioning his press secretary to come to Mr. McCain’s side.

His press secretary, Brian Jones, later reported that Mr. McCain had a record of voting against using government money to finance the distribution of condoms. All this took place on the second day of the reprise of the “Straight Talk Express” bus trips that Mr. McCain made a central part of his campaign in 2000.

Mr. McCain turns to take a question on Iraq, but a moment later looks back to the reporter who asked him about AIDS.

Mr. McCain: “I haven’t thought about it. Before I give you an answer, let me think about. Let me think about it a little bit because I never got a question about it before. I don’t know if I would use taxpayers’ money for it.”

Q: “What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy.”

Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”

Q: “I mean, I think you’d probably agree it probably does help stop it?”

Mr. McCain: (Laughs) “Are we on the Straight Talk express? I’m not informed enough on it. Let me find out. You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was. Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception – I’m sure I’m opposed to government spending on it, I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it.”

Q: “But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Would you say: ‘No, we’re not going to distribute them,’ knowing that?” Mr. McCain: (Twelve-second pause) “Get me Coburn’s thing, ask Weaver to get me Coburn’s paper that he just gave me in the last couple of days. I’ve never gotten into these issues before.”

This went on for a few more moments until a reporter from the Chicago Tribune broke in and asked Mr. McCain about the weight of a pig that he saw at the Iowa State Fair last year.

 

AIDS Cure or Sick Hoax by African President?
March 2007

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh announced he had discovered a cure for the disease that has wreaked havoc across Africa. He made that announcement in front of a group of foreign diplomats, telling them the treatment was revealed to him by his ancestors in a dream.

His concoction has stirred controversy and anger among health officials who say the president's claims will bring false hope to the nation's more than 20,000 HIV/AIDS patients. They are also afraid that it could cause patients to stop taking the anti-retroviral drugs that have been proven to prolong life and improve quality of living.

One critic was Fadzai Gwaradzimba, the U.N. envoy to Gambia. She was abruptly kicked out of the country after saying on February 9 that patients should continue their normal treatment and that Jammeh's concoction be "assessed by an international team of experts."

Experts also say it's in places like Gambia that the poor and desperate will latch onto anything resembling hope. "For a country's leader to come up with such an outlandish conclusion is not only irresponsible, but also very dangerous, and he should be reprimanded and stopped from proclaiming such nonsense," said Professor Jerry Coovadia of the University of Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa.
