+ In the Times of India, Indian-Canadian pornstar Sunny Leone talks briefly about her career:
"My parents, who are originally from Punjab, were completely shocked when they found out I was in the adult entertainment industry. Their reaction was what I expected, and I was prepared for it. When my father realized what I did, he said, 'You didn't even ask us before you did this! But whatever you do, make sure you do it well.' My mother was also stunned when she found about my lesbian lovemaking videos, but she accepted it. And the fact that my work didn't change me as a person worked in my favour. My parents soon realized it and respected me for who I am and my decisions."
+ Egyptian feminist blogger Aliaa Magda Elmahdy has received multiple death threats for posting nude self-portraits as an act of self-expression early last week. Forty Israeli women have taken a naked group photo to express their solidarity:
"Or Tepler, a twenty-eight-year-old Israeli, recruited dozens of her countrywomen to (kind of) show their bodies 'for a woman who is just like us — young, ambitious, full of dreams and evidently has a developed sense of humor.' And just as Elmahdy's protest infuriated fundamentalists in Egypt, Tepler's is bound to do the same in Israel, where religious hardliners have gained much power in recent years."

+ Culo is an art and photography book from Raphael Mazzucco that features over 200 images of beautiful women:
"Culo is an art, fashion, and pop-culture movement that defies all national, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. No matter if you were raised to call it derriere, tush, rear end, or booty, culo is the new epicenter of female sexuality, desire, and empowerment.
Over the past decade, some of the world’s most celebrated women have subtly shifted our long-held ideals of physical perfection toward a shape that is more authentic and bold. While culo has long been venerated in certain cultures, it is now becoming the object of worldwide mainstream admiration. This emerging global love affair with culo is as much about the blending of African, Latin, European, and Asian beauty as it is about celebrating the female form’s most coveted asset."
From Culo by Mazzucco
+ If you are new to being submissive:
"Remember, whatever desires, roles or labels we take on, we’re people first. Respect yourself, respect others and choose to be with those who respect you for all that you are. Even the most gloriously degenerate and depraved play must start from a place of mutual respect and return to that afterwards.
You didn’t get this far in life by being a doormat; so don’t let people walk all over you just because they say they can. You are powerful. Choosing submission from a place of power is beautiful. Find a person who appreciates and treasures that."
Related, from Sugarbutch:
"I think it’s important to have conversations, outside of the bedroom, about your interest in playing with domination and submission, and to do some assurance that you want to be submissive—that you really really want to be submissive, and oh aren’t you so lucky that the two of you can play with that together. You might have to continually assure them of your desire to submit—before, during, and after. I know from my own experience, it sometimes boggled my mind that someone would let me do all those things I wanted to do to them, but I still felt that twinge of guilt and worry that I was going to hurt them, somehow. Assure them that they will not hurt you—or rather, that a) you want them to hurt you, and b) if they hurt you too much, or in a way that you don’t like, you are fully capable of using your safe word and getting out of the situation. They have to trust that you can take care of yourself if things get to be too much. You have to be fully capable of saying no for the yes to have any meaning."

+ Sex toys and other "erotic goods" may be coming to a suburban shopping mall near you, if you are in the Czech Republic:
"'The market for erotic goods has made huge progress in the last twenty years. Whereas previously it was associated primarily with porn tape rentals and men prevailed amongst their customers, these days the product range is oriented more towards cosmetics, erotic lingerie, pheromone perfumes, massage oils, erotic aids and toys. The clientele has changed dramatically as well. Women or couples account for 80 percent of customers nowadays,' says Ivan Michněvič [...]
At the same time, many landlords refuse to let shops selling erotic goods into their centres, for various reasons. The most common reasons cited are concerns about the response of customers or adjacent shop owners. With some centres, this may also stem from their codes of conduct that preclude such ranges of goods."

Autostraddle Anonymous Sex Toy Reviews #10 & #11:
It’s our tenth Autostraddle Anonymous Sex Toy Review! Over the last 2-3 years, we’ve been propositioned frequently by sex toy companies wondering if we’d like to review their toy in exchange for, you know, their toys. In 2011, in addition to “saying yes to the dress” we are saying YES to the sex toys!
Today we have two "Kits" from Good Vibrations to review for you. GoodVibes has a huge selection of "kits" which make really fantastic holiday gifts. We'll be reviewing two of those for you today!
Under the Mistletoe Kit - $46
Contains:
+Butterfly Effect wearable vibrator
+Vibrating Nipple Teasers (nipple clamps)
+Screaming O Vibrating Cock Ring
+2oz Please Liquid Lube
My very first thought when I opened the Under the Mistletoe Kit was "Omg omg omg nipple clamps."
My second thought was, "Wow, I tragically overlooked that this kit is definitely made for couples."
So, without a partner in sight, it's hard to say how this kit might play out for it's couple-intended uses. But, you know, I still got down. Most importantly, this kit is for someone who likes vibration, since everything vibrates except the lube (duh). The Butterfly Effect wearable vibrator made me feel super sexy to strap on, thought it was a bit buzzy for my preference. Still, I really liked that I could surf porn with two hands while I used it. Also, since it takes a bullet vibrator, you could swap out that bullet for another one if you like a different vibration.
The nipple clamps were awesome, but I admit I'm a novice nipple clamp user. I loved that they were purple because it made me feel more relaxed and less serious about the whole thing. Plus they're covered in this soft velvety coating. I found them to be just the right amount of pinch and they're super adjustable. I would imagine if you want a super tight pinch you might want to go with a different nipple clamp, but these clamps were perfect for warming up to nipple play. Also the vibration was good enough that I found myself clamping other areas as well.
The Screaming O Vibrating Cock Ring and the Please Liquid Lube were actually both products I'd used in the past with partners. The cock ring looks really sexy on a strap on and also its cool that you can sort of control how much to rub up against it (as an alternative to the constant wearable vibrator). The Please Liquid Lube is awesome because it doesn't have any glycerin in it (which gives me gnarly yeast infections). Upon using the Please Liquid Lube again, I was reminded how great it is for both sex toys and just all around lubeyness. It isn't scented and it doesn't tingle, warm or cool (which I prefer).
All in all the Under the Mistletoe Kit is the perfect gift set for someone who likes to get fucked with a strap on while something vibrates your crotch and nipples while you throw you hands in the air.+

Pop Your Top Deluxe Kit - $89
Contains Hitachi Magic Wand, Pop Top Deluxes Silicone G-Spotter and a 2 oz. bottle of Please Liquid Lube.
Magic Wand:
+ Size: 12" long, the spongy head is 2 1/2" in diameter.
+ Speed: 120 volts, 60 Hz, 20 watts. / 100 Hz (6000 vibrations/minute) or 83 Hz (5000 vibrations/minute)
Pop Tops Deluxe Silicone G-spotter:
+ Purple Shimmer silicone
+ Size: Insertable: 5" long x 1 3/8" diameter; Total length: 6 3/4" long x 3" Wide x 3" Height
+ Material: 100% Silicone, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, phthalate-free, non-porous
The Hitachi Magic Wand is a legendary object, made even more famous by Samantha Jones in Sex and the City.
The Magic Wand, known as "The Cadillac of Vibrators" and considered to be the world's most popular vibrator, isn't battery-operated, you gotta plug it in (better for the environment!). This seems like a disadvantage until you've logged about 20 minutes with it and start getting worried it'll conk out or slow down any minute now which gives you orgasm-blocking anxiety especially if you're out of batteries and your TV remote uses AAAs. Then you realize it won't conk out because it's plugged in! And then you feel much better. It's like having a lover who wants to eat you out all night long vs. one who you know gets tired about five minutes in.

What makes The Magic Wand's vibrations so amazing? That's part of the "neck massager"'s mystery and enduring legacy. There are two settings -- "high" and "low" -- and there is something magical about precisely how it vibrates and how much easier it is on your hands to be holding a wand with the vibrating head at a distance rather than holding the vibrating phallus yourself.
It's strong enough to be used outside of one's clothing, which is a bonus if you're worried your roommate could show up at any moment and you don't wanna mess around with your pants. I estimate I could probably orgasm from this thing in three minutes or less. It definitely lives up to its reputation.

However, the first thing we noticed about it was the amazing retro packaging and style, which clearly hasn't been updated since the 80's and is hands-down the best product packaging of all time:
Admittedly the magic wand has gotten most of its mileage thus far from my girlfriend and I periodically sneak-attacking each other with it at inopportune moments and massaging my calves. We also made this list of additional functions of the Hitachi Magic Wand:
+ Tickling
+ Puppet (we imagined googly eyes and yarn hair)
+ Fake microphone
+ Bug-killing
+ Meat tenderizing
+ Eyeball torture
Now, The Pop Your Top Deluxe Kit comes with a "G-Spotter," which you can put over the top to give yourself clitoral and g-spot stimulation. We've never used g-spot stimulation toys before so probably aren't the best reviewers for this and found it kinda cumbersome. Personally, I prefer insertable vibrator elements to go around in circles rather than vibrate. However a friend reported that this combo is the only way she can squirt while using a sex toy, so there you go!

I think the traditional Pop Your Top Kit would've been more up our alley (HAHA!) because it's more about clitoral stimulation and I remember Sugarbutch saying something positive about them -- the kit includes a "smooth fuchsia Pop Top for a silky sweet ride, nubby purple Pop Top for textured thrills, or ridges black Pop Top to take you to the edge."
The Hitachi Magic Wand by itself is ON SALE at GoodVibes right now, if you wanna get just that!
