Sex Toy Rejects

When "just-in" ain't big enough...

Sex sells

Hot on the trail of all the 50 Shades hype, I can't help but think the Afterglow campaign is relying on the premise that sex sells.

Tourism Tasmania is conducting a special two-month tactical advertising campaign to encourage Australians to visit Tasmania during spring. The campaign will also create further consideration for travel to Tasmania over the following summer and autumn period.

OMG, they don't play this song on the radio...

Unlikely education...

I just love Friday night's on SexBS. Each week there's usually a documentary or movie that has ample amounts of bare skin. Last week they showed the 2009 Spanish film Mentiras y gordas (Sex, Party and Lies). Lots of sex scenes, unfortunately lots of drug taking (not my kind of thing) and very weak (or just plain hard to follow) plot.

One thing I did learn was a new term for lesbian:  vagiterian.

Okay, it's time for me to get back under my rock.

Qwiki Two Shoes...!!!

You gotta love some of the cock-ups that computerized automation deliver. I see it on a daily basis with TV presentation, now it's spreading across the web.

Below is a "Qwiki" clip that gathers images and textual information and attempts to blend them into a multi-media presentation.

View Summer Lovers and over 3,000,000 other topics on Qwiki.

For the real factual information, see my website on Summer Lovers.

A beginners guide to porn?...

Not the kind of book I'd buy, but it gave me a giggle to know that such a book existed.

Boudoir Photography E-Book - Boudoir Poses, Boudoir Lighting

TESTIMONIALS: "Ed Verosky's book - Ten Ways to Improve Your Boudoir Photography - is a solid introduction to Boudoir Photography. Beautifully illustrated, with so many tips and so much advice"

Word of the day...

I spent a few days with Tony in Hobart. The mother of a close friend of ours had died so we decided to buy some flowers and a card. The flower shop is located in a back alley and I'm waiting outside for Tony. I notice the walls are strewn with graffiti and spot a word phrase I hadn't seen before. I mention this to Tony on the way back to the car.

Later on we're presenting our lovely bunch of flowers and sympathies to our friend. She gets a vase and thinks to fill it with water... or as Tony suggests "put them in root juice".

I'm shocked and horrified, as Tony clearly didn't pick up the euphemism I was referring to earlier.

So, girls and boys, I expect this one to be in the next edition of Macquarie Dictionary.

root juice noun (euphemistic) seminal fluid

Durex duress..

WonderJock v1.0

Ever wanted to be an underwear model? For years women have had the Wonderbra, now courtesy of Aussiebum there's a new line of Patriot Wonderjocks ... complete with "ball/extension support technology". I like it!

Santorini

Take a look at this clip I found on YouTube. It caught my interest because there are some similarities to Summer Lovers. I love the bitch-slap at the end!

C'mon, suck it bitch...

Apparently there's a useful benefit for having oral sex . It helps prevent infertility problems later on.

How to Have Multiple Orgasms ...

I have the next two weeks off for some well deserved leave. So with plenty of time on my hands, it was opportunic during a web surfing session that I found a site for men to develope a technique for having multiple orgasms. It states the level of difficulty as 'average' and to allow one hour for the exercise (or should that be sexercise).

This should be fun. ;)
