So, a few months ago I bought my first two-piece bathing suit in 20 years, and I went to the beach with a bunch of friends. I asked my friend to take a photo of me on the beach. I was thinking...you know, something I could send to my mom or something. So this wiseass takes the photo, and here's what I end up finding in my camera a day later. Mind you, this is exactly how she framed the shot and I did not crop it. Sigh.

I purchased my first Smartballs on a whim about a week ago. Had no idea what they were, but I'm a sucker for Fun Factory's product designs. Tried the balls yesterday for the first time and loved them. I put them in before I went on a 4-mile hike. I have a bit of a hard time getting them in even with lube, so they never felt like they were in danger of falling out. Was thoroughly enjoying their company on the hike, but the best part was when I walked up a very, very long and steep hill...and then back down again. The way down was amazing--I guess because when you walk down a steep hill you lean back a bit and your pelvis tilts forward or something. Anyway, it felt incredible. Didn't have an orgasm, but I can tell you that I will be walking up and down that steep hill a LOT from now on.

In general, I've found sex in water a bit too squeaky to be pleasurable. The water seems to dilute the natural juices. But maybe there's a trick to it that I don't know about. Love the idea of using a nice, hot bubble bath as foreplay or afterplay, though. I would like to be spanked with one of those little leather strap things. And would like to try nipple clamps. And I'd like to have a guy use a big dong on me. The idea of him being able to watch and control the insertion is very appealing.

Oh dear.... For a short time in the late '90s I was the chief editor's assistant at JUGGS, LegShow, and Tight Magazine, so I got to sift through stuff like that every day. I really loved that job. Those amateur pics always made my day. I love seeing pics of people showing off what makes them feel sexy, even if it doesn't seem sexy to me. Speaking of pics, can someone direct me to the rules of posting pics here? I'm curious about posting sexy pics (posted a boob shot in the boob thread), but I'm not sure what is acceptable. While I'd like to gain a little self confidence about my body, I certainly don't want to offend anyone or get blackballed from what seems like a forum of very nice people.

It's a mixed bag, I think. I'm in love with a guy right now who is a real pain in my ass. Can't get my mind off of him, though.

Okay, so last night I spent NYE at home alone and took a poke at attempting my first g-spot orgasm. Until now, I never knew that there could be anything other than a clitoral orgasm. So I read a few articles and got out some new toys. After maybe half an hour, I did have an orgasm with very little clitoral stimulation. It was not the most intense one ever and no squirting happened (definitely did have that "bearing down" feeling), but it was very different from my normal clitoral orgasm and I think it could be better once I stop concentrating so hard on the "operating instructions" and just relax a little. Now here's the weird thing. I woke up this morning (about 16 hours later) and felt as if that particular spot in my vagina was in a heightened state of arousal. As I lay still in bed, I kept having these periodic little waves of pleasure that originated from the spot and washing up my vagina and pelvic area in general. And I wasn't doing anything to make them happen, either. The best way I can think of to describe it is that it was like the goosebumpy feeling you get when someone plays with your hair or runs their fingers lightly across your skin. I've never had this happen before. So, as this is happening (it actually still hasn't stopped), I've been thinking about something that has always been a mystery to me. Since I was about 8 years old--way before I even knew what an orgasm was, of course--I've been having orgasms in my sleep. They happen maybe once a month or not even that frequently, and the dreams don't even have to be about sex. There is no physical stimulation of any kind. It's just the most intense type of internal orgasm I ever have and I feel it from head to toe. (It's like the big daddy of the little waves of pleasure I've been feeling this morning.) When I wake up, my vagina is contracting and I feel a bit cross-eyed and very tingly all over--almost like when your leg falls asleep and the blood is rushing back into it. This phenomenon has always baffled me, because I have always had a hard time cumming with a partner. I can get there, but it often just feels like hard work and it takes forever and all of my muscles are tense afterward. So...can anyone explain to me how I can have my best and most intense orgasms in my sleep without any external stimulation? And am I the only woman who has these? I've never heard anyone talk about them. Sorry about all the blathering. As you can tell, I'm feeling a bit...uh...introspective this morning.

Thank you! I've just been surfing around a little and there appears to be a wealth of info on here.

I guess I've never compared myself with anyone. My lips always struck me as a little long and floppy. Also, my clit hangs out past my mons when I'm excited--like a little tongue sticking out. Is that pretty standard?

I'm newly single after being married for much of my life. My ex husband was very inhibited, which made me really nervous and uptight in bed. Now that I'm single, I've started buying my first sex toys, and I'm...well...really digging them. I'm learning to explore, appreciate, and enjoy my own body instead of being ashamed of it (thus my pic in the Boob thread, I reckon). I'm looking forward to reading all of your posts and learning from you and getting to know you. You can probably expect a lot of dumb questions from me. Sorry.

Yeah, I'm quite lopsided. If that was a boob job, I'd want my money back.

Newbie here. Guess I should make my first post count. First time I've ever done this, so hope it works...
