OPL Laundry Goddess

I concur... I wasn't looking, and had actually decided I was "off men" becuase I'd been hurt before. I'd already told my friends I was giving up on the dating scene and focusing on work and school... and then, there he was. Same goes with our partners. We'd been friends for years (nearly 6) when the relationship turned. Sometimes love sneaks up on you. ~LG

Three sites with forums that I post on with any type of consistancy. Two others on which I lurk or post rarely. We have a blog I post on quite frequently and am a regular reader of several other blogs and have a profile on a "people matching" site with their own PM and IM capabilities. So, I'd say I participate regularly on about half dozen, with several others I read only... ~LG

Guys... not to disrespect the women in your lives, but WHY do you give when you do not receive??? If its something you want, would love to have, how do you live with the injustice of a one sided love life? ~LG

My husband and I are polyamorous. We live with another couple, whom we consider our partners, and their children. Even though I don't consider ourselves "open" I think most people would. I'm totally willing to discuss our life and our journey to this place. If you want, feel free to ask more questions, or you can PM me and I'll give you my email address. ~the laundry goddess

Oral is anticipated play in all sexual encounters. I can't say, other than the occassional broom closet quickie, that I remember making love when we didn't... doesn't always mean we continue until climax, but it is almost always part of the foreplay. I can't imagine being in such a pleasurable moment and not wanting to use all my resources. I remember this Chris Rock stand up routine once where he was talking about the current state of dating. He said he went out with one gal who said she didn't "do that." His response was, "What do you mean you don't do that? Isn't that standard these days? Hell, I didn't know they made models like you anymore!" I was cracking up.

At our old house, there was a clear shot from the front door side windows straight into the family room. ABout two years ago, we had managed to get all the children out of the house for a night and the four of us had started playing in front of the fireplace early the next morning. Even though we weren't expecting anyone home until at least 10 am, the neighbor keeping three of the kids had brought them by much earlier than expected. Although there was a long sofa that sat between the door and the fireplace, I'm pretty sure our neighbor and perhaps a child may have seen some quick scrambling for robes and blankets!

I can't say our answer will be "normal average" either, because of the multiplicity we have in our house. I was asked to write an article about 18 months ago on this very topic, so Temptress and I kept track for about 6 months to quantify. What I found out is sex is more about monthly patterns and outside pressures than weekly averages. For me personally, I find I am very in tune with my hormonal cycles, so two weeks out of the month I can't get enough and the other two weeks I'm waxing or waning. There are days when I'm just not in the mood, so I'm fine to say, "you two go ahead, I'll just lay here and enjoy the moment." Temptress, on the other hand, seems to be very steady in her needs. For some reason, and I believe it has to do with circumstances of the moment, our more active times and our more relaxed times tend to cluster together. Or maybe it's just Newton's Law - objects in motion tend to stay in motion, objects at rest tend to stay at rest. For those of you who want "raw numbers" I can give a range... Some days we (and by we, I mean any one of us, or a combination thereof) can be having sex as many as 3 or 4 times a day. Other times we may only have 2 or 3 encounters for the whole week, or we may go a whole week plus. Go figure. ~LG

Temptress has one that reads, "Sorry I didn't make it to church, I was too busy becoming a lesbian and practicing witchcraft."

I have to agree about the glass - it is now my FAVORITE material. The Eden Snake is our newest addition to our glass collection and I can reccomend it with absolute certainty that if you like it firm, the snake is AWESOME. I find it my best g-spot toy. We also have the Real Man that is very nice, firm, but not hard like the glass. And the girth on this one is very pleasureable. In fact, I think I'd recommend pretty much any of the "real man" line, as they all seem to be made of the same base material. good luck! ~LG

Playgirl's Ergo Wabbit While most are in the midst of celebrating ghosts and ghoulies, my Goddess and I have declared it Easter in the bedroom; it’s all about the rabbits and the eggs, baby!! The newest addition to the warren is a dual action vibe called the “Ergo Wabbit” by Playgirl Signature. There’s no fur on this bunny, the wabbit is sleek; made of phthalate-free silicone is non-porous and non-toxic. We opened the package and inserted 3 AA batteries as required (not included.) A quick spritz of toy cleaner and we were ready to play. Claiming it is ergonomically construction, this has teasing ticklers on the shaft for G-spot sensations and vibrating ears for clitoral stimulation. The imagined sensation of those was enough to get us moving faster! On further inspection, we noticed the controls consist of 5 tiny buttons on the base – two for clitoral stimulation, two for shaft rotation, and one for reversing the rotation – all very self explanatory and user friendly. My Goddess got things warmed up with a bit of oral play and then adding a bit of our favorite “Liquid Sex” she slid the Wabbit slowly and sensuously into my very warm and waiting place. Turning on the rotating shaft, I felt those amazing ticklers began to massage my inner walls, focusing on the G zone. After a few moments of amazingly delicious sensations she added the vibrations from the clitoral stimulation. The combination of feelings was amazing and erotic. The shaft was massaging my insides and the vibrating ears were teasing my clit. It didn’t take to long for me to build to a delightful climax and then collapse fully satisfied by our new toy. We can strongly recommend this toy for either solo or partner play. This dual action is not waterproof, so be careful with clean up to keep water out of the control mechanism. The Ergo Wabbit will definitely be used again and again as the sensations it offers are amazingly sensual and highly pleasurable.

Hop to it! When this item was offered as a give away, I tossed it in the shopping cart with the idea that a girl can’t ever have too many good vibes and free is the best price around. What I discovered after use is that this lil’ wabbit is worth far more than its cost. It will have you acting like, umm… rabbits. This toy is a bullet sheathed in a pink rubber sleeve (claimed both latex and phthalate free) with a bunny face and two tiny ears; tiny, but oh so effective! There was not the typical plastic smell with this toy, and if you so choose, you can “roll off” the rubber bunny sleeve and utilize the bullet alone. This vibe is corded to the pink control unit which offers a dial function speed set. Two AA batteries (not included) fit inside and unlike independent bullet vibes, having the extra power of “regular” batteries rather than those tiny watch batteries that peter out so quickly (please excuse the pun, but I just couldn’t resist!) Whether you use bullets for solo play or with a partner for extra stimulation, it is my experience that the lil’ wabbit can advance you from subtle quiet hums to electrifying shudders at the roll of your fingertips. The vibes are strong and steady, the orgasms swift and sure. Hannah Harper’s lil’ wabbit performs well and will quickly hop to the top of your toy drawer.

Put Power to Work for You! The Power Bullet is a tiny personal vibrator with variable speed push button control. The casing is made of a hard plastic, with a metallic looking finish. This bullet takes three AG-13 batteries which came already installed with a plastic cover that protects the battery life. When opening the package, just unscrew the top and peel back the film and you are ready to go! I’ve tried lots of bullets in the past and as a group, they have some pros and cons. Usually bullets have a mediocre vibe, but this one has decidedly powerful and concentrated vibrations at three different speeds. The size of a bullet creates handy options for sex toy play; as it is small enough to fit in your closed fist or conveniently in a pocket for discreet public play! In addition, most are under $10, making them easily affordable. The Power Bullet is waterproof, so tub and shower play is an additional bonus. Generally, the challenge with bullets is the battery life and the noise factor. The Power Bullet shot down both of those downsides. Even at the highest speed setting, this little toy had a relatively low hum. And with nonstop humming, this bullet had a life of about 25 minutes with the batteries that were included. For continual action, that is quite an impressive life span. I can imagine a set of fresh batteries would last even a bit longer. Overall, if you are in the market for a bullet, this is the one I would recommend! Intense vibes, your choice of speeds, water proof, and discreet - you can’t get any better than The Power Bullet.

Since our family is different, I come from a different perspective so this may be an unpopular opinion, but I think it's a semantics issue... "Affair" is defined as any matter, event, or happening, but all Americans understand the connotation of an affair is of the extramarital variety and most often seen as "cheating." No one likes to be cheated on, and I can say from experience the person who has remained faithful while the other is out filandering has a lot of heartache and pondering to work through. After 18 years of monogomy, Big and I opened our marriage to another couple. My Temptress calls us "quadnogomous." Big's parents still see us as "sinful" in the eys of the church, but the decisions we've made have been mutual with openness and honesty. So when you say your mate "gave permission" to have an "affair" of course it sounds awful. As SunFLower said, an affair to "even the score" is nothing but a way to make a bad situation worse, but what if a mate is expressing a desire to move into another realm? Believe it or not, there are a lot of people in the world who have managed to move beyond the confines of irrational jealousy to create a larger expression of love. When a couple chooses to have another child, very few question the ethics or morality of expanding a circle of love from a parental perspective because we're conditioned by society to accept this. But when a couple chooses by mutual decision to add eros love to their relationship, ethics and morality are not only questioned, but used as judgement. At no time have I ever been given permission, nor have I given permission for one of my partners to "have an affair." But we all understand no one person can meet all your needs, and to expect any one person to fill all your gaps is not only illogical, it puts a lot of pressure on the other person. I personally do not want to be someone else's 'everything," nor do I want any one person bearing the weight of all my needs. Just something to think about... ~LG

Temptress and I were just chuckling over your top 10 list... She's a former south Florida resident, so she TOTALLY understands! She and Fix moved up to be with us after the particularly stressful 05 hurricane season. We've been following your progress down there, and we're glad all is well. ~LG

That would make me Muffin Jennings! ~LG

I love watching real people or good actors, nothing obviously faked. This is why I tend to lean towards instructional vidoes (real people) or softer porn (with plot and "less is more" steamy sex scenes). The hardcore stuff is good for the up close shots, but when the camera draws back, its a total turn off. I also like girl on girl and groups. I don't like the spitting, and I'm not all that into the cum shots. The germaphobe in me keeps thinking, "what kind of diseas are they spreading!" LOL, I know, I just need to relax more. ~LG

September's DVD of the Month Cezar Capone presents the voyeuristic adventures of Cock Diesel and his girlfriend Renna Ryan in their search for hottie hook ups with Risi Simms, Sabree Lynn, Victoria, Jackie Joy, and Robyn Lee. The footage is filmed from first person perspective with a “home movie” feel. A neighbor breaks into Diesel’s apartment and nabs his home sex tapes, along with money from his wallet. The following footage contains seven sex “tapes,” each including Renna; five featuring hook up scenes. The girls in the film are young, firm, and eager. They are also giggly and unrealistically agreeable to suggestion by two strangers with a camera. The action is very inexperienced in nature and looses a lot of potential heat with the goofing around and angst driven dialogue. There is very little action other than basic touching and basic screwing. Even the girl on girl action here was weak. There was no use of condoms and they don’t even look like they are enjoying themselves. In my opinion, the film encourages some very poor choices: stealing from your friends, risking your health and well being, and embarrassing yourself on film with your lack of sexual prowess. On a positive note, the girls have a very real look to them - real boobs, real curves, real jiggle, and seemingly unscripted “real life.” So, if the idea of picking up unknown females for unprotected twenty-something threesomes turns you on, order up a keg and some pizza, because you have over three hours of mindless sucking and fucking to watch. This professional attempt at amateur filmmaking feels like plastic porn. Our top five responses to this DVD are: •“Couldn’t they wait until the wax rash disappeared? That sort of diminishes the allure of a Brazilian.” •“Ok, warn the homophobes… too many extreme close-ups of the one eyed snake.” •“I think the Friday night marital obligation is steamier than this.” •“This guy needs new tricks, he’s all bump and grind; it’s unoriginal.” •“How ‘bout a little less talk and a lot more action?” No longer September?

OK, this is a pet peeve of mine too! Really, people who lie have NO CONCEPT of how transparent they are and how a genuine person can see right through the falsehood. Really, there is always a tactful way to be honest, so just put it out there. Chips will fall sooner or later, so you might as well get it over with. And sometimes the truth up front saves you TONS of consequences later on. The worst part of being a liar is that you ultimately cannot trust in return, so those people only make things far worse on themselves. So sad they don't see it. Exactly! Those are words of wisdom. Freedom within the boundaries of truth. ~LG

Not sure if there is a way to practice on your own, but I've never heard a man complain about a woman on top! I have two positions that I favor, the first being a sort of squat. Use your feet to straddle his hips and then lower yourself onto him. You have LOTS of thrust control in that position. An alternative to that would be one knee and one foot, which brings you closer to the bed, but still gives a lot of foot power for rhythm. My favorite woman on top position is straddling his hips, knees on the bed, then lean your body forward, your hands on either side of his head or shoulders. From this position you can "rock" your pelvis up and down his shaft. Depending on how each of you are formed, there is usually some nice "grab and hold" action going on betweek your labia and his entire shaft and sac. Also, the leaning in to him makes it much more intimate with eye contact and the ability for you to use your lips on his chest, face, neck, and those tender ear lobes! ~LG

(blush, smile) Thank you for the compliment... ~LG

Having never experienced an anal plug, I anticipated this product with mixed emotions. While there are definitely times I enjoy an anal adventure, it must be accompanied by the proper motivation and timing. When I received these little blue guys, I unpackaged them, washed them up and placed them in a convenient location near the bed awaiting their call to duty. The Cushees are made of phthalate free rubber with a very soft and velvet-like textured surface, not slick or gummy like some other rubber items can be. There are two in this package, so you can choose which one suits your personal taste. One plug is long and lean, the other is short and fat; hereto after referred to as “Laurel and Hardy,” respectively. The packaging did not offer specific size measurements, but my best estimate is both plugs are between 3 and 3.5 inches in length, and 1 to 1.5 inches in girth (at the widest parts.) So the magic moment finally arrived, I had been reading some erotic fiction and was feeling fairly randy. I pulled out both Cushees and the lube; then called to the hubby. “I need some help with my review up here, got some free time?” With all those toys laid across the bed, there was no doubting my intentions as I handed him the lube and pointed to the Cushees indicating “Laurel” would be my first choice for trial. Kisses, caresses, and a bit of high school necking ensued before I rolled onto my tummy and lifted my hips high into the air. Lubed-up-Laurel began a soft entrance into my back door and I remember thinking what a delicious feeling it offered; comfortable and arousing. At that moment the only thing I wanted was a second shaft within me, thrusting against the fullness the plug offered. Doggie style provided a great pounding on the plug. It didn’t take long for my release with all the stimulation I was receiving and I enjoyed a wave of orgasmic pleasure that lasted as long hubby could keep going. WOW. And WOW, Wow, wow… Just as I was thinking, “How long before he’s ready to try out Hardy?” I got propositioned for another round of fun with the use of my favorite dildo (it’s slightly larger than hubby, but shhh! don’t tell, ok?) Out comes Laurel and in goes Hardy. And I could totally tell the difference between them. This time I went missionary with the double toy fun. Different position offered different sensations but just as powerful an orgasm. Ya, I’m beginning to see why I’ve heard such great things about anal plugs. The important things to note about this product are the two size varieties and the incredibly pliable material which makes them super comfortable. For those of you who wear the plug outside the bedroom, I can see how these would work nicely. Clean up is easy, just anti bacterial soap and water; then dry and store in original packaging or a toy bag for longest life. Bring on the Blue

I bought this little guy a few weeks ago and haven't had a chance to really use it yet. Once I do, I'll be posting a review, but I have a funny story to relate... When this vibe came in the mail I opened it up, installed the batteries (and you're right, they are a bit confusing) and dropped it into my purse. Temptress looked shocked and said, "why in the world are you putting it in there?" "Because," I replied, "that is where you keep lipstick, right?" And, I purchased it with the intentions of keeping it close by for those impromptu moments when I might not be at home near the toy box. SO in the purse it stayed for a couple of weeks until one day with the daughter, age 15, went looking for lip glass in my bag. We were sitting in the doctor’s office waiting area when she grabs my purse, opens it up, and pulls out the shiny purple lipstick. “What color is this, Mom?” she asks. I look over (forgetting momentarily that I had anything unusual hidden in my bag) and started laughing. “Don’t open that!” I said, “You will not appreciate that particular lipstick.” (a devilish, evil grin spread across my face) She looked at me puzzled, then this look of sheer horror crossed her face as she dropped the vibe back in my purse and practically FLUNG the bag in my direction. “Ewwwwww, MOM, gross. Do you HAVE to carry one of those things in your purse? What’s wrong with you? If you were a prude like most moms I wouldn’t have to deal with this.” “If you stayed out of my purse or asked first, you wouldn’t have to deal with this either,” I reminded her. It was a funny, sex positive moment between mother and teen. ~LG

Dragon's Blood, baby... And I boil something in the fall/winter that the kids call "Christmas." Its basically a saucepan with orange and citrus peels, apple cores, a few cranberries, a stick of cinnamon, and some cloves. Occassionally I'll toss in a sprig of pine garland off the tree. It is really just a way of using up all those left over harvest fruit skins, etc, but my kids love it. Not sure how you could package all of that, maybe you could find a "christmas cooking" fragrance?

Glass is, by far, my most favorite toy material and I couldn’t wait for this item to arrive in my mailbox. Opening the package, I was reminded how heavy glass can be and how very classy it looks. The Eden Snake of Paradise feels great in my hands with all its nubbies and amber colored bumps along the corkscrewed shaft. When the magic moment came, I was giddy with anticipation of the sensations this jewel would provide. I was not disappointed. The twists and turns in the body of this sex snake were accentuated by every pleasure knob as it ran against my inner walls. The temperature difference between the toy and my body temperature held a delicious thrill when first inserted. Its head is perfectly sized and positioned to hit the G spot and within an amazingly short amount of time I had the most intense internal orgasm! I cannot say enough positive things about this item; and perhaps in this particular case, less is more. All the wonderful things you may have heard about glass are doubly true in this case – there are no batteries needed, it warms or chills for temperature play, and it has smooth yet firm surface that exudes strength. Glass is easy to clean, so when playtime is done just wash with antibacterial soap and store in the plush velveteen bag included in the toy packaging. The Eden Snake of Paradise is a perfect size, able to satisfy both beginners and toy veterans alike. If you are interested in glass, or looking to expand your glass collection, look no further. Pleasure Awaits You!
