Condoms to Fit

Did you know – The stubble that forms after skin has been shaved can damage a condom. Also, be conscious of those piercings as they can pierce a condom.

And, did you know that condoms now come in all sizes. Condomerie.com seems to have the most extensive supply that I’ve found so far. Unfortunately, they are located in Amsterdam. Anyone know of other good sources for condoms of all sizes?

Ok, so I guess this is the second time when I will say ’size matters.’ Condom size that is, for correct fit. If you would like to know the only other time I uttered those words, here you go – Cooking With Balls.

Penis Reconstruction

Bless those bunnies! – They’re being guinea pigs for penis reconstruction. Here’s the full scoop from Charles Q. Choi, Special to LiveScience.

“One day artificial penis tissue could be grown to help men, new findings in rabbits now suggest.

After implantation with replacement tissue, lab rabbits that once had damaged penises had working organs and could produce offspring.

“Further studies are required, of course, but our results are encouraging and suggest that the technology has considerable potential for patients who need penile reconstruction,” said researcher Anthony Atala, director of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center’s Institute for Regenerative Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Semen Withdrawal

The science behind sex really fascinates me. Some of us (me) believe that regular sex can help create a consistent good mood. Reasonable assumption. I never considered, though, that this might primarily be due to the semen. Yep, semen contains hormones including testosterone, estrogen, prolactin, luteinizing hormone and prostaglandins, and some of these are absorbed through the walls of the vagina and are known to elevate mood. And, semen withdrawal can create depression.

I’ve recognized that long-distance relationships can create psysiological havoc (hot sex, no sex, hot sex, no sex…) and now suspect if that is largely due to the semen withdrawal.

Maybe someday they’ll add semen withdrawal to the DSM, and then sell it in a bottle – by prescription of course. Not nearly as much fun.

Ways to Improve a Relationship – got ambivalence?

Delyse Ledgard, MA, shares about ambivalence in relationships – everything you’ve ever wanted to know, and more.

‘Ambivalence occurs in intimate relationships when there is the coexistence of opposing emotions and desires towards the other that create an uncertainty about being in the relationship. It is our nature to split our experience into polarities, such as good/bad, right/wrong and emotions such as love/hate, joy/sadness. One could say that we constantly deal with the opposite of our experience even if that is unconscious.’

Stressed about money? Go f*#k yourself

I love this article by Laurie Essig. We’re getting back to basics.

‘You gotta love the American do it yourself spirit. As the Great Recession drags on and on and on, we spend our weekends at big home stores figuring out how to rewire the lights or fix the toilet ourselves. We forgo family vacations elsewhere and have staycations in our own home. And now we’ve decided to invest in sex toys and f*#king ourselves since a hundred dollars invested in a good vibrator or dildo will be a lot more entertaining and long lasting than $100 spent on a single evening of dinner and drinks (which may or may not result in fun in bed).’ more

You, Me, and Cell Makes 3

I had Chinese for lunch today, and this is what I know for sure: fortune cookies are designed to be appetizers, not dessert.

I try to turn my back on instant gratification whenever feasible, but when there is a fortune cookie sitting right there in front of a person’s face – well, how is that possible? To me, the value of this crackly, dry, bland cookie is in the fortune – and that fortune could hold the key to the rest of my life. So, I did. I ate my cookie first, and then I read my fortune. And then I lamented how fortunes are just not what they used to be – simple platitudes rather than authentic wisdom from the ‘wise people.’
