After my post, featuring the AMAZING toybags by For Your Nymphomation, are you still having trouble finding that perfect sexy gift?

Try these two Margo Eve approved suggestions: (more…)

Ok, so maybe you want a nice big HDTV to watch all your porn on blu-ray. Personally, I’d much rather be doing than watching.

Now, I don’t give product endorsements lightly. Some products just don’t deliver when put to the ultimate stress test of use. Oh sure, a concept may look amazing, but when it doesn’t deliver the “hands free” excitement that it promised, I feel cheated for laying out big bucks. (Yeah, I’m looking at you We-vibe.)

So the following recommendations have been tested, and approved, by yours truly. I will be bringing in more recommendations than just this one, but I wanted to start off with the best, most affordable, most bang for your buck of this year.

In The Wake of DOSC09, I’m torn.

I’ve used Livejournal since 2001. I have many posts there. What I like about these posts is the ability to keep them locked so only certain viewers can see them.

Most of my adventures at DOSC09 have been chronicled there.

I want to be able to put out snippets for public consumption, but I am a bit gun-shy about putting my sex life out there for just ANYONE to see.  Living in the DC Metro area, the memories of The Washingtonienne blog sex scandal are still fresh in my mind as a warning. Especially since I’m not nearly as slim and hot as Jessica Cutler. I mean, face it, with my bottom heavy natural boobed goddess shape I’ll never be getting offers from Playboy. But that’s another rant for another time.

Now, if I thought for a second that this little blog would make it so I wouldn’t have to worry about bills anymore, I might not have such reservations. Alas, I am a realist.

Of course, I’ve been gonzo with the sex chatter on Twitter since returning. But, for me, that’s a bit different. 99% of the time that’s me trying to be funny in 140 characters.

Yet, it’s crazy to have a site dedicated to promoting my abilities as a sex educator and not talk about sex in the adjacent blog. No?

What are your thoughts, my fellow sex blogger and sex educator friends?

Dark Odyssey Summer Camp is perhaps the most amazing event I’ve ever gone to or had the privilege of teaching at. I love all the Dark Odyssey produced events, but the summer camp is special for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is its isolation from the outside world.

See, at a hotel event there are certain expectations that the guests won’t do anything “kinky” in areas that the public might accidentally see. There are no such areas at summer camp.

This years camp was very special for me. For the first time ever, I got out of my own way. What I mean by this is that, for the most part, I was able to put aside my fears and just exist in the moment. Rather than be disappointed that I missed something or someone, I took advantage of opportunities as they appeared for me. I made a choice of having what I wanted rather than caring about what it looked like.

At the closing of the event, during a grounding circle that I run to help make transition back to the outside world easier, a friend of mine said that he thought DOSC must be what heaven is like.

I thought about it a moment.

No judgment.
No artificial constraints on behavior that harms none.
Freedom to be however you want to be rather than how the world expects you to be because of what chromosome you were born with.
The freedom to express desires that the outside world calls “evil.”
The freedom to experience pleasure as loudly as you want.
The freedom to shed the identity trappings of “normal” society to just be yourself.

Yes, I think my friend was right.

Dark Odyssey Summer Camp is heaven on earth
