I’m in a musical mood this week, and I’ve decided to burst some bubbles. I love this song, and I don’t know if I love it more or less since I found out years ago that it is actually about wanting oral/sex.
Ya see, “Saying I love you, is not the words I want to hear from you…” think about it. ”How easy it would be to show me how you feel… more than words, is all you have to do to make it real, then you wouldn’t have to say, that you love me – cuz I’d already know.”
While this fact is neither entertaining nor humorous, it’s shocking to note that homosexuality remained on the American Psychiatric Association’s list of mental illnesses until 1973.
The iconic “Rabbit” sex toy is renowned for two things: excellent results and… excellent results. It also happens to have an odd smiley face on its tip. The smiley face was actually a result of conservative Japanese customs. Apparently, Japanese consumers frown upon “the production of sex toys that too closely resemble phalluses,” so the smiley face was added.
According to the Museum of Sex, the vibrator was originally used as a medicinal treatment for female “hysteria” during the 19th century. The vibrator-induced orgasms helped doctors dissipate hysteria’s anxiety-related symptoms.
There’s a new book, just out today, that’s going to change the way you fuck. It’s called Sex: Our Bodies, Our Junk and it’s written by The Association for the Betterment of Sex, a “scholarly” organization made up of a mix of current and former writers for The Daily Show, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Vanity Fair, and The Onion. The book is an uprorarious take on the sex manual, replete with embarrassing illustrations, shameful confessions, and contortive positions that could be achieved only by a trio of Thai ecdysiasts. In celebration of SOBOJ’s release, I decided to interview two of the book’s authors: Mike Sacks and Ted Travelstead. I’m not saying that these are the smartest or funniest or most representative of the quintet of writers, but they both happen to work with me at V.F.,and, like most people searching for sexual partners, I’m sort of an opportunistic feeder. Here’s the transcript of our conversation.
