I Like Smart Girls
I know, I know. Word Oyster has been pretty dead for a few months now. (Five points to anyone whose brain just flashed to the "I'm not dead yet!" bit from Monty Python.) No pearls, no need for lemon wedges or cocktail sauce (depending on your oyster image of choice). But I'm still alive, albeit overworked and artistically uninspired (and prone to even more numerous parenthetical asides than usual). And yes, I still care about each and every sex toy you've bought or orgasm you've had in my absence. With or without air conditioning or strategically placed ice cubes, I hope your summer has been punctuated by a nice selection of sweaty, noisy, gushing, well-lubed fun. And the fact that you haven't written to tell me all about it only means you share in the responsibility for my long silence. And pictures. You didn't send pictures. Or little audio files.So, what's happening in the world of sex today? Aha. My prolific buddy, Violet Blue, has another book out! The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn is Violet's attempt to get past the notion of whether or not women like porn (um… they do. Duh.), and start to help her individual female reader understand why she likes the porn she likes and then… well, go out and find more! You can read more about Violet's book in Regina Lynn's review, Smart Girls Need Smart Porn, over at Wired this morning.
Since I last wrote, the folks over at Sex is Fun having been doing a lot of shaving. For anyone interested, there's a video podcast on how to shave your labia and now another one on how to get that perfect landing strip look. Thanks for sharing, Lorax! (I figure Lorax is a smart girl, don't you?) And if you happen to live near St. Paul, MN… I bet the Sex is Fun team would love to have you in an upcoming video and give Lorax's vagina a well-deserved vacation from the public eye. I don't think they've shaved testicles yet. (Maybe they got a deal on razors?)
And Shay has posted a VERY funny video on her sex blog, The S Spot, this morning. Shay's blog is one of my current favorites. I suppose I should add it to the roll, huh?
Sigh. The phone is ringing. The emails are pouring in. All work and no play, I'm afraid. So… that's it for now. Be well.
