Em & Lo and Being a Sexpert

Sex: How to Do Everything!

Several weeks ago I was asked if I would be interested in checking out this DVD series and talking about it a bit. I'm always up for a bit of education, so I agreed to give it a try. I expected something along the lines of what I've reviewed before in the Nina Hartley series and was pleasantly surprised with what I received.

This series was originally shown on British television and shows the "relationship experts" Em & Lo doing a series on Sex. (I confess, I've never heard of them, but they were fun. I want to spend a day shopping, dancing and having a slumber party with them now).

There are 10 episodes on 3 DVDs featuring a range of "how to's"

Below is a mini clip of a bit of episode one on oral. This woman showing the girls techniques is le fab. She instructed them on how to do this sassy little crawl/slink up the victim man straddle him and put a condom on him with your mouth. You bet your ass I'm going to practice that one on my vibes/dildos until I'm expert at it. It was totally hot and mesmerizing.



Each episode covers a range of techniques, interviews, a fun "confession booth" bit and roving reporters who try out a range of toys and workshops etc and give honest feedback. It's actually a really well-rounded and fascinating series. But the best part? It's fun and light. It doesn't get preachy or heavy, nor does it get too "sexy" or unrealistic. It's just real people talking about all aspects of sex.

One thing I learned? Apparently it is possible for men to give themselves blow jobs. Until they actually showed a real live guy doing it, I never would have believed anyone could be that flexible. Take up some yoga guys - you CAN do it!

Here's a run down of the episodes:

1. Oral
2. Manual
3. Orgasm
4. Sex Toys
5. Intercourse
6. Kinky
7. Fantasy
8. Anal
9. Seduction
10. Best of

There was an awesome section that showed an artist who does vagina casting. I was amazed at the range and beauty of them all. I have to confess, though I've even been to "The Vagina Monologues" I've never really thought about them that way. They truly are all unique and it's a fascinating project.

I would definitely say that this is worth the investment if you're curious about any aspect of sexuality. For the sake of getting this review done expeditiously (it's already been weeks!) I confess I haven't seen every episode yet. But this is one that I definitely want to finish - it's really been a great ride.
Duchess Rating: 4 stars.

Playing Dumb

Guess who's over at Eden Cafe today? Check me out!

EdenCafe

Yeah, that's not me.
In case you haven't figured it out - I'm a brunette.

This is me:

See? Brunette.

Have I ever mentioned how I am in pink fluffy heart girl crush with Nancy at PinkCherry.ca? (Oh yeah, there's a .com version for all you non-Canadians too). Nancy sent me this slinky little chemise to model for you all. So, that means you get both a review AND a HNT from me all at once! How lucky are you?

I would love to have someone ripping this off of me right now. It's been...a while. Or at the very least, to feel some hot probing fingers reaching up under the skirt, caressing my thighs...rubbing my clit...fucking me with his hands...yanking it up to my waist and thrusting into me...

Because this? Is not meant for a sedate evening drinking tea and toddling off to bed alone. This? Is hot. And clingy. And translucent and revealing.
A girl wears this when she's looking to get some attention. Not when she's at home alone for the night watching chick flicks. Maybe for watching porn and reading some erotica.

Not a lot of details to be included really - the picture says it all. The one thing I will point out is that she's pulling that skirt out. It really is quite form fitting with just a hint of twirliness of th skirt, and definitely see-through. You will want to be selective when choosing (if any) which slutty little panties to wear under this. Definitely black and lacy is the way to go.

It has pretty little appliqués and (thank Goddess!) the front rhinestone bow thingy is a pin that's removable. It's made of nylon/lycra and the instructions indicate handwashing (which in my lazy world means that I toss it in a lingerie bag on delicate sans pin - but feel free to follow the instructions just in case...) The cost is $39.99 CDN or American.

I will say that I really like it. I've been sadly lacking in hot little chemises meant specifically to seduce in. This definitely fits the bill.

BUT - this does not hide your sins. Beware, this isn't what you would wear to disguise what you might want...disguised. I found myself positioning myself carefully when posing in the mirror, and deciding that I still had a few more pounds to go before I would be strutting in front of my french doors for the neighbours. (Or possibly after a few glasses of wine when I just know that I'm actually a supermodel - whichever comes first).

Duchess's rating: 3.5 stars.

Succubus


To walk into a room with abandon - feeling the intensity of searing gazes raping me.

The envy and hatred of most women coupled with the blank-eyed shock and arousal of most men.

To know that I had that kind of power. The confidence to enter each new scenario with insensate eroticism and calm.

To wordlessly command the desire of those surrounding me - those numberless masses who so easily could overwhelm me, but instead are consumed by my essence. Not a one of them untouched by my being.

Me - a tiny little nothing. Speechless. Nameless.

But not helpless.

Because I have the power. I am a walking erotic dream. A succubus. My eyes see through you to your core - to those secret places that you open up to me like an offering. Utterly mine for the taking.

You want me to know you. To touch you. To take you. To offer myself to you even for a moment. My presence is a mesmerizing intoxication. Your will tossed aside in your fervour to join with me.

All your deepest desires - too secret to share with lover or friend are stripped bare before me. Placed at my feet as a sacrifice or gift.

Will I take you? Will I stroke you and suck you and use my tongue to bring you back to into being? Will I allow you to enter me and give your life meaning?

Suddenly all seems lost without it. To have seen me, looked upon me, mutely offered yourself to me is revelatory. Things will never be the same.

This is the power I crave.

Beautiful

I've been doing toy reviews for getting on a year now, but am still delighted to find myself surprised by each new product as it arrives. I had come to suspect that I could tell simply by looking at a toy's photo on a site precisely whether or not I would enjoy it, how it would feel and whether it was worth it.

However that has never come to fruition. I have looked forward to some products with gleeful anticipation only to find myself disappointingly "meh" about them once I've given them a test run.

And I've reluctantly taken on toys or been surprised by an unexpected product in the mail only to find that it becomes my new favourite.

When visiting with my darling Aurore over the holidays our conversation (naturally) led to sex toys. She was both shocked and appalled that I had never tried a glass dildo. She went on to explain to me her own exploits with one gentleman, a glass dildo and a freezer. Needless to say, it's not my story to tell, but she did manage to convince me that it was worth trying out.

I'd always avoided glass because it just didn't seem like a good idea to put something like that so close to my delicate pink parts. But deep-down it was probably just a reluctance to step outside my comfort zone. That and the fact that I just really like toys that vibrate on my clit.

So when my darling Nancy over at PinkCherry.ca asked me what I'd be interested in, I added a glass dildo to the list, mentally telling myself that I should think about Aurore when using it.

When it arrived though, I positively squeed in delight. Even if it did absolutely nothing for me physically, I have to say that it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I lamented the fact that I couldn't place it out on display somewhere - it was just that gorgeous. In fact I'm still trying to figure out if I can subtly add it to my décor while disguising it from it's true purpose to the innocent.

This is what I got: The Pink Flower Glass Dildo by Don Wands
Isn't it lovely??

Mundane website deets:
  • Length - 7 1/2"
  • Insertable length - 7 1/2"
  • Girth - 4" at widest
  • Width - 1 1/4"
  • Material - Pyrex glass
  • Special features - Double ended, hypoallergenic, hygienic, lube and pouch included
  • Color - Clear, pink, multi colored flower
So the next logical question is: what did I think of it?

It. Was. Awesome.

What a totally different feeling. Not one I'm sure I can even entirely describe.
First of all, it was cold. I didn't do anything to chill it (the instructions advise a bowl of cold water vs the freezer) but even at room temperature, once inserted it felt frigid. But in a good way. Shocking and stimulating.

And hard. Now most toys are fairly solid and rigid. For the most part they're created to imitate an actual penis. And as you know, those are made of flesh and blood etc. Hard yes. But still with some softness and give.

A glass dildo though doesn't even pretend to be anything close to the real thing. It is shockingly hard and unforgiving. Now it does have a head, and little bumpy ridegs all over it to give it texture. And I have to say, in a toy like this, I found that I could feel those ridges even more than on a jelly or rubber toy. Absolutely.

Now I did couple this up with my favourite clit stimulator, but I have to say - it slid in nice and smooth and felt fantastic. To the point where I immediately ran to my email and thanked Aurore for suggesting such a thing. I think she was rather smug about it all.

So for those of you who've never tried one? Do it. Now.
This one costs $39.99 on the Canadian site and $29.99 on the American site. And worth every penny. I have nothing bad to say about this.

Now someone tell me how I can put this on display in my living room without offending people.

Duchess rating: 5 out of 5
