“We met this part dragon, part canine Fusion of a beast while out in the Grasslands seeking some inspiration. No sooner than we had stepped out onto a field did a blur of blue fur and purple scales rush over, running circles around us and nipping at our legs. Demanding to know why we were on his territory, his booming voice and heavily muscled body left us feeling cornered and at his mercy...”

"Who is your author crush? And if you were to write a fan letter to them, what would you say?"

Despite the Harry Potter nerd that I am, I’m going to have to pick Edgar Allan Poe. A nerd is still a nerd, and a dark one at that. And that makes me think of John Green, but I have yet to read one of his books. I’ve pre-ordered The Fault in Our Stars, though. John’s signing every single one of the pre-orders, and I’m a big Vlogbrothers fan.

Since Mr. Poe is long dead, I would think it more appropriate to visit the original site of his grave with roses and cognac.

His work kept me entertained through my somewhat solitary life in school, and I had fallen in love with it at an early age. Remember on Tiny Toons when Sweetie played the raven?

I loved to watch parodies and adaptations of his work, especially if they included Vincent Price, who is basically a local hero to me.

So, now you know my rather dark secret.

A toast to you , Mr. Poe. May your work haunt the masses evermore.

If you’re in the mood for tentacle clothing and accessories, Raygun Robin is your go-to gal. All of her items are handmade by herself in her home studio.

Here are some of the things I’ve been eyeing up in her store:

I’ve seen genital desserts before (cupcakes and cookies, mostly) so I figured I might as well give it a shot. I bake quite a bit, so I thought the Pecker Cookie Cutter set would get a pretty decent amount of use.

Oh..my..goodness.. These things are huge! I thought they would be around the normal size of cookie cutters, but even the smallest one is way bigger!

                Small: approx. 7” long

                Medium: approx. 9” long

                Large: approx. 11” long

Honestly, I was really hoping for normal-sized cutters. Even just using the small one, I only got one penis cookie out of my batch of cookie dough. If you’re planning on making these for numerous people, or a batch for yourself, you’re going to need A LOT of cookie dough.

Some of my friends on Twitter were pitching out ideas for recipes. I went with a “dickerdoodle”. Thanks, everyone! The recipe turned out a little cake-y and puffed out. I think it still looks decently like a penis. I need a stiffer recipe…

Since these are so large, you may want to use a spatula to transfer them to your baking sheet. There’s a good chance that they can stretch or rip during the transfer, if you don’t. That’s just for the smaller one. For the larger ones, you’ll probably need a couple spatulas to get them on and off of the baking sheet.

Also, the edge on a Pecker Cookie Cutter is not the same as the edge on a metal cookie cutter. This is thicker and blunt. Another thing is that the cutters are fairly flimsy, compared to metal ones. If you jiggle the cutter back and forth a bit, you may end up distorting the shaft by squishing it.

Packaging

The  packaging is ridiculous. There are no cleaning or care instructions. Pretty much what you see to the left is what you get. And, as if the Pecker Cookie Cutter set isn’t large enough, the packaging is even larger.

There’s no point in keeping this to store the cutters in.

Cleaning/Care

Wash them with dish soap and warm water. Do not put these in the dishwasher or near/in anything hot that might melt or warp them. Keep them in a safe place where they won’t be crushed or snapped.

Ideas

- Cookies, obviously. It’s best to use a stiff dough like sugar cookie dough.

- Jell-O jigglers, but I don’t think the plastic edges are sharp enough

- Pancakes, but make the pancake first and then use the Pecker Cookie Cutter to cut out a penis-shaped pancake.

- Use them as templates to make powdered sugar penises on things

(Anything that doesn’t involve exposing these to heat, or that requires a sharp edge of a metal cookie cutter, is fine.)

Don’t Do That!

- Don’t try to put them on a pan with brownie batter or whatever in them and try to bake them.

- Don’t try to make shaped fried eggs with them.

- Don’t put them in the dishwasher.

- Don’t put them in the microwave.

(Just keep in mind that they’re plastic and can melt, and you’ll be fine.)

Worth It?

Not to me. These things are far too large and impractical. They take a lot of cookie dough, aren’t metal, and they’d be hard to hide in the kitchen from people I don’t want them to get found by. I’m not really sure how often I’ll be using these.

Now, I’ve tried various methods of natural breast enlargement with some success, so maybe there’s hope for guys wanting to naturally enlarge their penis. This post has nothing to do with pills or gadgets like penis pumps; this is nothing but exercises and stretching/lengthening techniques.

To me, girth is more important than length. My husband’s length is just fine. Anything longer than that gets a bit uncomfortable. Trust me, I’ve tried enough dildos to know what length is best. I’d much rather have a short, fat dildo than a longer one, or a short and skinny one rather than a long and skinny one. Anyway, if you’re still wanting to gain some length, there are some things that may help.

Penis enlargement exercises have actually been around for centuries, and were largely practiced in many Asian and African cultures.  The basic idea is that exercising the penis will promote blood flow and increase the amount of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood that reaches the tissue, therefore helping it grow. So, even if these exercises don’t work as well as you want them to, at least it’s keeping your equipment healthy.

Penis stretching exercises are designed to gradually lengthen two ligaments (the suspensory and the fundiform ligaments) that connect the penis to the pubic bone. This is much better than actually cutting the ligaments to extend them, which is what penis lengthening surgery entails. The reason that those two ligaments are the main areas of concentration for penis lengthening is because those two ligaments act somewhat like harnesses that keep a good part of the penis hidden internally. What you see when you look at the penis is actually not the whole thing; it extends 3-4" behind the pubic bone. The whole deal with cutting the ligaments is that it's supposed to allow the internal part of the penis to slide forward into view. That, however, can lead to a lot of problems and isn't always permanent. Scar tissue can actually shrink, and may pull the penis back in. That being said, it would be better to just exercise and stretch.

I make no claims to whether this will work or not. This is just what I’ve found. You should consult your doctor before attempting any of this, just to be on the safe side. I wouldn’t do all of these at once. That would probably be overdoing it. Set up a sort of ‘work-out’ schedule for yourself instead.

Warming up

Like any other time you exercise, you should warm up first. Find a small towel or wash cloth and soak it in warm water. Wring the cloth out and wrap it around your penis, leaving it in place for about a minute. This will help promote blood flow to the area.

Exercise One 

• Make sure that you've warmed up before continuing. You should be flaccid before starting. If you're uncircumcised, pull back the foreskin.
• Grasp the glans (head of your penis) and firmly pull your penis directly out in front of you. Only pull until you reach your comfortable stretching limit. If it starts to hurt, you're pulling too hard! Hold this for 10-15 seconds and then relax for about the same amount.
• Repeat this process 3 more times, with time to rest in between each repetition.
• After you complete this action 4 times, massage your penis head to restore full blood circulation.
• Relax for a minute, then repeat the whole process, but pull upwards instead of directly out. Repeat again pulling downwards, to the left, and to the right. In all, you should have completed a total of 20 stretches, each lasting about 10-15 seconds.

Exercise Two

• Hold onto the glans and pull your penis away from your body.
• Place the thumb of your opposite hand onto your shaft, at the base of the penis.
• Press down with your thumb, while pulling up with your other hand. Hold this for 10 seconds.
• Repeat to the right and left, placing your thumb on alternate sides of your penis to create tension.
• Continue alternating stretching for 5 minutes between up left, and right, but never down.
• Do this once or twice a day.

Exercise Three

• While holding your penis, firmly (but not so hard that you cut off blood flow. Don’t hurt yourself.) press the foreskin back into your body by placing both thumbs, overlapping slightly, over the shaft of your penis with your remaining fingers underneath for support.
• Hold that for 10 seconds then relax and repeat. 
• Try to maintain a continuous pump action. Repeat this once or twice daily for 5 minutes. This exercise can also be performed while semi-erect, and would probably be easier that way.

Exercise Four

• Place one hand at the base of your penis and the other behind the glans.
• Stretch the penis in both directions. That means away from the body with the hand on the glans and towards the body with the hand at the base. 
• Hold for 10 seconds and repeat once or twice a day for 5 minutes.

Exercise Five

• Apply lube – water-based is recommended.
• Massage your penis to a partial erection. It should still be flexible, not completely hard.
• Use your thumb and forefinger to firmly encircle the base of your penis. This is so that the blood is trapped in your penis.
• Start raising that hand up. Just before you reach the the glans, grasp your penis at the base with your other hand using your thumb and forefinger like before.
• Release your first hand and repeat this action with your second hand. You should take about 2-3 seconds to slide each hand from the base of your penis to the glands.
• You can continue this until you’ve reached the desired number of repetitions. I haven’t seen a set limit for this, so use your own judgment and be careful not to overdo it.

Exercise Six

• Massage yourself to a partial erection. You should be flexible, not hard.
• Apply lube – water-based is recommended.
• Use your thumb and forefinger of your left hand to firmly encircle the base of your penis, so that the blood is trapped tightly within your penis. (No, I don’t know why you need to use your left hand.)
• Use your right hand to grasp behind (or underneath, depending on how you look at things) the head of the penis.
• Both hands should now be grasping the penis – one at the top and the other at the base, trapping the blood in between the two. (This is the starting position for this exercise.)
• Maintaining a firm pressure, slide the hand that’s positioned behind the head of the penis down the shaft. As you do this, you should feel the blood being forced down the penile shaft.
• Once your sliding hand meets your hand at the base, reverse the process and firmly slide your sliding hand back to it’s starting point just behind the head of the penis. You should feel the blood being forced back up the penile shaft, as you do this.
• Sliding your hand should take 2-3 seconds going down, and 2-3 seconds coming back up to the starting point.
• Without removing your hands from your penis, repeat these steps until the desired amount of reps has been completed. I haven’t seen a set limit for this, so use your own judgment and be careful not to overdo it.

Exercise Seven

• Massage yourself to a full erection for this one.
• Squeeze your pc muscles (If you don’t know where they are, think about the muscles that you use to stop your stream of urine. They’re the red bits in the diagram.) so that your erection lifts up and the glans swells with blood.
• Hold this squeeze for 3-5 seconds and relax. This is 1 rep. What you’re doing is a kegel exercise. There are many variations besides this one.
• Continue these steps until you have reached your desired amount of reps. One important thing is not to overdo this, though. Do maybe 10 reps and then quit. Overworking yourself is not going to help.

You can also do these when you don’t have an erection but, since the blood wouldn’t be concentrated in the penis, I don’t know if it would work as well to grow it. It would, however, strengthen things. Doing kegels can actually help control premature ejaculation. PC muscles control the flow of semen and urine (Yes, this can also help with incontinence.), the firmness of the penis during an erection, and the strength of the ejaculation. If kept strong, your PC muscles can keep you primed for sex well into your golden years.

I’ll cover kegels next week.

So, EdenFantasys currently has a promotion where you can get a free t-shirt with your order (no minimum purchase). Naturally, when I see the word “free” I’m going to take advantage of it. Unfortunately, there is no extra small, so I just chose a small instead.

My t-shirt came in a cellophane bag, nestled amongst some other goodies. It’s actually very soft and decently stretchy. For being a free shirt, the fabric wasn’t thin like I expected it to be. This is actually a good quality t-shirt that you might pick up at the store. The only thing that isn’t the best quality is the silk screen printing. You can see some of the black coming through the colors on “VROOM”.

I’m about 34”-21”-35” right now, and it sort of mutes what figure I have. I’m not really too worried about that, though. I won’t be going out with this t-shirt on. It’s way too conservative around here, and I’d like to keep my squeaky clean IRL image. Although it doesn’t scream “sex”, it does have the company name on it. Heaven help me if my mom would look that up…

Anyway, since it’s really soft and comfy (and rather long on me, since I’m only 5’1”), I’ll be wearing this to bed, maybe with a cute little pair of boy shorts or something.

Material: 100% cotton

Sizes: small – 3X (It’s supposed to be pre-shrunk and run 2 sizes smaller. Uh… no… If it ran 2 sizes smaller, a small would have fit me perfectly.

Washing: I have no idea. There’s nothing printed on the inside, so just wash it in cold water along with the rest of your darks and tumble dry on low. Due to the silk screen print, I wouldn’t iron it.

Guess what? Tantus is redesigning one of their most-loved vibes, the Echo. They’ve listened to their customers, and they're bumping up the thickness of the base on this great G-spotter to perform even better in a harness. Great, right? But they've got all their current designs in their warehouse that need to go... So, now through Sunday, 9/25, they're just $34.99! (Yep, even the Limited Edition Neon colors are on sale!)

Earlier last night, while I was taking my shower, my husband asked if I was feeling any better. My period had started yesterday and I was fairly miserable most of the day. I told him I felt a little better, because I did slightly, and wondered what he was getting at. He was either genuinely caring about my pain, wanting sex, or both. I didn’t really think much more of it, and just crawled into bed to spoon with him, pretty much exactly like the image to the right.

I could feel him against my tush, where my menstrual pad wasn’t blocking. Yes, I have a DivaCup, but I was too lazy to put it in. At this point, I was completely worn out and just wanted to go into a coma for a few hours. So, I just let him twitch his heart out. If he wanted something, he was going to have to get it himself. This was going to be the one time that I wouldn’t give in.

I feigned sleep, not being able to relax with the twitching, growing, and shrinking. That process repeated itself for quite a long time, and eventually led to him starting to desperately, yet gently, trying to hump me to get me into the game. No go. I wanted sleep but, even more right then, I wanted to see how far he’d go. Now, it had turned into an experiment.

The humping continued. Every time he twitched or humped, my heart raced. Yes, I did want him in me, but it was about time he understood why I can’t just let him sleep sometimes. Sometimes, when you’re horny, every other thought flies out the window.

Well, he finally got to the point where he needed to touch me. His hand pulled at my skin as he firmly ran it over the outside and inside of my thighs.  He made his way up to my breast and cup it in his hand, fondling it as he continued to hump me. A barely audible and very short sort of moan/whimper escaped him, and I thought my heart was going to shoot out of my chest.

He moved down to my panties, but his hand was sort of cock-blocked by my menstrual pad. Since he couldn’t rub with his finger through my panties, he slid his hand down the front of them to rub my clit. The way he touched it made me jerk with a small moan, triggering another small noise from him. He rubbed it slowly, maybe five or six times, and that was it. There was a hot, sticky mess resting just above my tailbone.

He just couldn’t hold it in. There was no way he was going to just calm down and sleep it off, and that mess was the proof. I rubbed his head slightly, as if to convey some feeling – I’m not quite sure what – then licked my fingers and finally got some sleep.

I hope you learned your lesson, hubby. Don’t fuss me about waking you up when I’m horny, if you can’t control yourself either.

"If you could have wings, what would they look like?"

If I could have wings right now, they’d be black and emerald, just like this. I absolutely fell in love with these wings, the first time I saw them.

It’s been years since I’ve watched Xena. That was probably back in middle school or high school. Nobody knew that I did. It was sort of my little secret whenever everyone would be out of the house. I don’t know… It was just sort of embarrassing for me to have a role model like her. I felt like a little kid looking up to a super hero.

I couldn’t find a good picture of Xena with those wings, so you’ll just have to settle for Gabrielle.

I can’t fully explain how excited I was when RockStarWigs.com offered me the chance to review one of their wigs. You know that fit that Kermit the Frog goes into when he screams “Yay!” and flails his arms about? That’s pretty close to how I reacted. After agonizing over which wig to pick, I let RockStarWigs.com decide and was sent this beautiful Black and Electric Blue Duplicity Wig. Looks gorgeous on the model, right?

Of course, I had to take a few pictures of my own. I have no tripod, so you’ll have to bear with me.

This right here is my emo look, I guess. My eye reminds me of anime, for some reason. I know the bangs go straight down, but they go too far down for me. I prefer to sweep them to the side. Yes, I could go to a stylist and have them cut, but I really like them sideswept.

Since my breasts are smaller than the model’s and since I’m just so petite in general, this wig is really long on me. I love the length, though. From the crown to the longest strands is about 22”, give or take. The blue isn’t two-tone like that. My camera is just weird about capturing blue & purple the right way.

The top layers of the wig are black, and are a little shorter to expose the longer electric blue layer underneath. I didn’t do anything to the bangs besides sweep them to the side. Sweeping the black top layer of the bangs to the side more made them look more blue, since it exposed more of the blue layer underneath. That being said, you can restyle the wig to sort of customize how dark or bright you want it to look. So, you can easily change your look, depending on your mood.

Sweeping the bangs to the side and gathering the top black layer to a small butterfly clip in the back of the wig produces an entirely different look.

I just thought it might be fun to rock the Narcissa Malfoy look. Granted, her bangs aren’t like that, but you get my drift. Lighter underneath, darker on top.

Wear

I’ve had no issues with wear. This wig is very comfortable and secure. Inside are hooks that can be adjusted so that the wig fits your head just right. I have a tiny head, so I adjusted mine to the smallest size. It has plenty of room, so it should fit most people. Yes, it does breath nicely; no sweaty, itchy head.

Material: high-temperature fibers that can be heated up to 180*F/82*C which is a low setting on most tools. It’s soft and smooth, and feels very similar to real hair.

Care: A gentle wig shampoo and rinse is just fine, then leave it to air dry on a styrofoam head. I like to keep my wigs on collapsible stands. You can find them at most beauty supply stores. If you don’t have one, the wig comes with a mesh net and a very nice, long plastic bag for flat storage.

Packaging

Inside the packaging was the wig(with the company tag, a paper insert in the crown to keep the shape, mesh net, and a long plastic storage bag), a postcard with a promotion code, and wig cap with instructions.

Opinion

Overall, I love my Black and Electric Blue Duplicity Wig. This wig is versatile, sexy, and easy to wear and care for. It’s a lot of fun playing with how the color shows up, so I may add new pictures, whenever I come up with new styles. Man, I’d love a black leather corset to go with this…

Much love to RockStarWigs.com for letting me review the Black and Electric Blue Duplicity Wig! xoxo

Using flavored lubes to spice up your sex life can be fun, but there are some things you need to know first.

Types of Flavored Lubes

Water-based: Water-based lubes make up the vast majority of flavored lubes. These are compatible with any toy and, if they dry out, can be revived with a little water or saliva.

Oil-based: Flavored oil-based lubes are rather rare, but you may come across a few. Remember, these are not compatible with latex!

Silicone-based: You’ll never find a flavored silicone-based lube. Why? Silicone is considered inedible because it is an inert substance, and can’t be digested. Mind you, it’s not harmful. It’s really about the same as swallowing chewing gum.

Flavors

Flavored lubes come in a wide variety of fruit, dessert, and other various flavors. Try to pick a flavor that both you and your partner will like. Some flavors can end up being a little funky or leave a bad aftertaste. Keep in mind that not all flavored lubes are horrible. You just have to find the right one. The best way to do this may be to purchase a lube sampler. These save on cost and waste, if you don’t like what you get, and you can just keep trying until you find one you like.

Extras: In addition to the flavor, some flavored lubes may also come with warming or tingling sensations.

Ingredients

Always check the ingredients of your lube before you purchase; that goes for flavored and non-flavored lubes alike. Throughout my reviewing, I’ve spotted quite a few toxic ingredients. Your best bet would be to research them on EWG’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database.

Glycerin and various sugars can encourage a yeast infection. Do keep in mind that certain artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, may upset the stomach. Xylitol is perfectly fine.

Before you try out your new lube, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test. Since the inside of the wrist is very sensitive, smear a small amount of the new lube there and wait. If there are no negative effects, you should be able to use it externally and internally without any problems.

Flavored Lubes for Sex

Just because it’s a flavored lube, that doesn’t mean you have to lick it every time. It’s perfectly fine just for sex, although a decent amount of water-based flavored lubes get sort of tacky as they dry. This can be fixed with water or saliva. Water-based flavored lubes will easily wash off, so fun around the pool or in the shower isn’t a good idea. It does make cleanup easier, though. You’ll need soap and water for anything oil-based.
