May Menage a Moi

I just watched the movie, Quiet City, on Sundance Channel. And, while I’ll readily admit to being a mumblecore slut and that therefore my opinion here may be somewhat suspect, I just want to say how much I loved this movie! Yes, the characters (naturally) didn’t do much, but that’s part of the point. While they were going on about their lives, they were genuine and likeable. I also liked the composition of the visuals in and around Brooklyn; it reminded me of when New York still had that “place to be” romance to it. Finally, I thought the lead actress (and co-writer), Erin Fisher, was adorable. Those lips, those eyes! Erin, if you want to come bum around suburban Boston (“Ooo, look! Another Dunkin Donuts!”), just let me know.

May is Masturbation Month. San Francisco’s Masturbate-a-Thon is early this year (this Saturday, May 2). Competitions this year include Longest Squirt, Longest Time Spent Masturbating, Most Orgasms (male record is 31, female is 49), and something new called the Tag Team Fun event. If you can’t attend in person, you can go all voyeur and follow along online. You can also download a pledge form, get sponsors (by the minute or by the orgasm, your choice), and go it alone or with friends. Money raised by the event benefit the Center for Sex and Culture. (And I won’t embed this, but the Center for Sex and Culture is featured in this Penn and Teller Bullshit videoclip on masturbation. The abstinence folk at the beginning and end of this clip make me want to scream… and possibly beat them over the head with a healthy 15 year old.)

I was just discussing environmental initiatives in sex with my pal, JeN. And aside from the eco lubricants (organic, no hormones, glycerin, sugars, etc.) such as Good Clean Love’s Almost Naked flavored lubes, and a new effort to recycle old sex toys (not for reuse… don’t worry), we couldn’t seem to come up with much to recommend for you green, yet horny, types. But then I found the Earth Angel Wind-Up vibrator. Made of 100 percent recycled parts, you simply wind up the vibe for 4 minutes to keep it buzzing away for a half an hour. No more batteries or vampire chargers!

Wait… it’s still April, isn’t it? So, since it is technically still National Poetry Month, I have one last link for you. Visit the A Taste of Sex podcast to listen to poets reading and/or singing their erotic poems (songs, stories, etc.).
