It wasn’t the non-monogamous marriage I’m in now.
It wasn’t my first and very short-lived marriage, in which my husband-to-be and I unsuccessfully cruised in singles bars trying to pick up women.
It wasn’t even my first serious adult relationship, in which my boyfriend unilaterally decided that we should be non-monogamous, spouted non-monogamy platitudes to defend doing anything at all that he wanted including ignoring me to chase other women, and then went into a weeping rage when I wanted to sleep with one of his friends. (Thus turning me off non-monogamy for some time.)
It wasn’t any of those.
It was when I was about eight.
No, you heard me right.

Dear Blowfish,
Do you have a dildo that really feels like the real thing, and is compatible with a harness?
We have several that we think feel darn close to the real thing! All of our “Boi” line of dildos are made with a special process so that they have a firm silicone core surrounded by a squishier layer of silicone. Of these, the best for harness play are the Boi Next Door Silicone Dildo, and the Boitoy Silicone Dildo.

Just in time to take with you to Burning Man, we’ve got a new little toy that makes road trips waaay fun. The Hitchhiker Bunny Travel Vibrator is a rabbit vibe powered via your car’s cigarette lighter, which means that as long as you have battery power (not always a given on some of the road trips I’ve been on), you’ve got mad vibrations. And I do mean mad, as in crazy hard, vibrations. When I plugged this little guy in I nearly caused my husband to crash the car, because the rabbit practically jumped out of my hands it was buzzing so hard (I have since made sure it’s turned off before I plug it in, so as not to startle the driver). His ears shimmer with a high-pitched vibe that is great for tickling your clit, but if that’s too intense try using the bunny’s nose instead. And, though this little guy is an awesome clitoral vibrator, you can use him nearly anywhere else on your body (though I wouldn’t recommend inserting him). Just make sure not to let the driver use it, as I think this would qualify as driving under the influence, it’s that deliciously distracting.

If you took a small Rosebud Decorative Butt-Plug and mated it with the jewel from a Pharaoh’s Eye Stainless Steel Butt-Plug, you might end up with something much like our Small Decorative Butt-Plug with Small Stonee. Mad scientist experiments aside, this is basically a small Rosebud, but with a smaller stone, leaving more of the shiny stainless steel rim showing around it. Whether you consider the extra metal hardcore, chic or simply modern, it definitely gives a very different look to one of our basic decorative metal plugs. We’ve got this new little guy in red only, and we’ve got a limited supply, so once we’re out, we’re out for good. A beginner’s butt-plug with a pretty new look, what’s not to like?

As the baby boomer generation gets older, we’ve seen a recent surge of books about sex and aging. We here at Blowfish love it that folks of all ages are finding ways to keep their sexual fires burning, though we’ve noticed that many of the books about aging can be a bit . . . overwhelmingly upbeat. What if your libido doesn’t quite reach the levels of these women you’re reading about? Thank goodness for Still Sexy After All These Years?: The 9 Unspoken Truths about Women’s Desire Beyond 50, a realistic, though still very positive, look at the many varieties of sexual expression and arousal experienced by women over the age of 50. This book takes its time to explore what it means to grow older, acknowledging some potential new limitations and suggesting solutions for both overcoming and accepting any that should come your way. Touching on everything from redefining your own sexual image to masturbation to same sex relationships to maintaining sexual vitality through ill health, this is a wonderfully supportive, reassuring and enlightening book about sexual desire.

What’s better than watching a girl masturbate? Watching two girls masturbate! What’s better than that? Watching two girls with cute Australian accents masturbate! And, better still, how about watching seven separate sets of girls with cute Australian accents masturbate? Yep. That’s definitely some kind of pinnacle. Intimate Moments: Shared offers just such a viewing experience. It’s a neat premise: put two girls in a room with a camera, and tell them to masturbate to orgasm just as they normally would in the privacy of their own homes. (Presumably they don’t always masturbate with some other girl lying next to them, but we’ll let that pass.) There’s no director, and there’s not even a cameraman, and while that does lead to completely static shots (the camera is usually placed at the foot of a bed), it also somehow adds to the verisimilitude. There’s some light editing in places, but they’re mostly continuous shots from beginning to climax. The performers are cute girl-next-door types — they’re all young Australian amateurs — and there’s a fairly wide range of body types on display. Moreover, a very wide display of personalities are on display. Some of the women are shy. Some are matter-of-fact. Some are exhibitionists. Some are demonstrative and loud. Some are quiet and demure. A few of the women get right down to the business of rubbing one out, but most of them chat first, from small talk to complimenting one another’s undergarments to sharing fantasies (from the very elaborate to the very brief). Sometimes they help each other along with caresses or tweaks, and most of them clearly get turned on by the presence of another woman in bed — these aren’t girl-girl scenes per se, though there are some mutual-masturbation moments (which are very, very hot). It’s very cool cinema verite documentary porn, and though the production values aren’t incredibly high, they’re adequate, and the great concept makes up for the bare-bones presentation.

Girls Get it On is indie Australian amateur lesbian porn, made by a woman. The women look like real people, with real bodies, right down to armpit hair and the occasional — gasp — glimpse of belly-fat, as well as pubic hair, which is an endangered species in most porn. (Allow me to skip the obligatory joke about “the Australian bush.”) But don’t misunderstand me — I like real, and these women are all very cute. “Cute” is a word I thought of a lot while watching this. Also “adorable.” And “playful.” Even “kittenish,” briefly, but that’s a dumb adjective, so I promptly stopped thinking it. There are two scenes on the DVD, each featuring one couple — though not a “couple”; this isn’t a movie about real couples having real sex, but about real (we presume) lesbians having sex for the express purpose of being filmed.
My favorite part of this movie was the second scene, featuring the lovely Fuji and the somewhat gawky but cute Armine, making love mostly on a chair in a living room crowded with bookcases. Fuji is the most beautiful woman in the movie, and Armine is clearly just delighted to have the chance to play with someone so attractive; for her part, Fuji is quite enthusiastic, too, and is certainly the most comfortable on camera of any of the women on this disc. (I admit I got rather distracted at one point by some of the books on the shelves in the background — one shelf held all of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels! And there were books by Mary Doria Russell and Frank Herbert and other science fiction and fantasy writers — they looked like my bookshelves! Then I remembered that I was watching porn and returned my attention to the women making out onscreen. I’m not that big a geek. Quite. I did zoom in later to see what other books I could recognize though.)
I went back and forth on this one, but ultimately decided to recommend it, because it really is very charming and genuine, and if the camerawork seems a bit amateurish at times, I can forgive that for the sound of actual non-fake laughter in a sex scene. Real people who have sex laugh sometimes — because they’re having fun — but you don’t hear a lot of laughter in porn. That was a nice surprise.

Last weekend saw publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final volume in J.K. Rowling’s incredibly popular fantasy series about a boy wizard with a destiny. Thousands of fans took part in midnight release parties at bookstores, and countless of my own friends and acquaintances spent the weekend furiously reading. Now, while I’ve never been swept up by the Potter craze — they’re fine, but I get much more excited about the prospect of another George R.R. Martin novel, if you want the truth — it thrills me to see people getting so excited about reading. And, as we know, when fans really love characters, they write fan fiction about them. And they draw pictures of the characters. Sometimes it’s dirty, smutty fan fiction. Sometimes they’re dirty, smutty pictures. And so, in honor of young master Potter’s final adventure . . .
First, a vintage article from the San Francisco Chronicle, from way back in 2001: “The Trouble with Harry”, all about the mere shocking existence of Potter slash, complete with excerpts from a story about Harry hooking up with arch-nemesis Draco Malfoy: “His hands moved up to hold Harry’s startled face, and in the space of a next heartbeat he was kissing Harry, hard and full on the lips, his manner deeply passionate, hopelessly desperate. What just happened? He knew bloody well what just happened. He just kissed Harry Potter, that’s what happened. The thought of it made him nauseated, even though at the very same time an entrenched part of him yearned for the perverse, forbidden pleasure of it all over again.” Well, sure. There’s a whole Draco/Harry fanfic website at The Hex Files.
J.K. Rowling isn’t one of those authors who looks the other way when it comes to fan fiction — at least, not the dirty smutty kind. Here’s a cease and desist letter her lawyers sent to hundreds of sites that hosted such fan fiction: “There is plainly a very real risk that impressionable children, who of course comprise the principal readership of the Harry Potter books, will be directed (e.g. by a search engine result) to your sexually explicit website.” Well, okay, there’s some truth to that, though most of the explicit stuff is clearly marked as such, and lots of grown-ups read those books, too, or else they wouldn’t be the bestselling novels in the history of the literate universe. And what are the fans supposed to do? If Rowling won’t write a scene of a werewolf having sex with a house elf, somebody has to!
With words, you gotta make the dirty pictures in your mind. Too much work. Here’s some truly hardcore Potter fan art. Featuring Harry Potter buggering, or being buggered, or orally serviced by his teachers, or in cock bondage. (C’mon, the series is set at a British boarding school. This kind of stuff is inevitable.) There’s also some He-Man smut fan art on that site, which I find much more disturbing. I mean, that’s from my childhood!
Moving on to the world of the Harry Potter movies (the, what, fifth movie? came out recently, so it’s topical!), you’ve probably already seen the images of Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry, in the play Equus. But, hey, they’re worth peeking at again. Radcliffe’s choice to play the role caused quite a stir, of course, because there’s a nude scene. Check out some choice shots here. The images are big, and, if not fully frontally nude, they at least give you a nice shot of Harry’s hairy happy trail. Let’s hope kids searching for their favorite kiddie movie star don’t do a websearch and find those images! Where’s the cease-and-desist letter for that?
Radcliffe’s co-star, Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, is growing up into a beautiful young lady. She’s not growing up quite fast enough for some people, though, as some ad guy infamously photoshopped her boobs to make her rack more impressive in an ad. (It was an ad for the 3D IMAX version of the movie. We’ll leave the “bigger boobs” plus “3D” jokes as an exercise for the reader.) There is also, disturbingly, a website counting down the days until Emma Watson turns 18. Yeah. Only kids are interested in this Harry Potter stuff, right?

I’m not sure what made me start thinking of it. I was thinking about stuff I’ve read about very intense, very un-PC kinky role-playing scenes. Jewish people doing Nazi scenes; African-Americans doing slave-owner/ slave scenes; that sort of thing.
And I was realizing: I don’t know if I could go there.

Dear Blowfish,
I really want a vibrating ass toy that will stay in!
We don’t have a plethora of great vibrating ass toys designed to stay inside the butt all by themselves. The Small Butty vibe is slim, but designed as a plug for retention and has a medium intensity vibe embedded in the silicone. Also take a peek at the Colt Anal-T and the iPlug. They might not stay in very well all on their own, but we really like the way they vibrate. I hope one of these will fit the niche you describe!

Ah, the dog days of summer. And, while I’m not quite sure what dogs have to do with summer (unless they’re talking about corndogs at the county fair), one great way to cool off is with a big, hydrating slice of that quintessential summer fruit, the watermelon. The Watermelon Double-Ender Glass Dildo isn’t edible, but it’s certainly nice and cool, made of a heat-resistant Pyrex-like glass adorned with red, white and jade swirls of color, reminiscent of the fruit after which it is named. The two different, slightly phallic ends, give you some variety, so you can start off slow with the smaller, 1-1/4″ wide side and end the night with some 1-1/2″ lovin’ from the other side. Goes down smooth and refreshing, and you don’t even have to spit out seeds!

For those of you who like to top from the bottom, have I got a mask for you! The Peek-a-Boo Mask is made for those who like to peek, with fetching cat’s-eye eyeholes already cut into the mask itself, so you can see what’s going on. Tops, never fear, there’s a snap-on panel that neatly covers up these eyeholes, so you can keep control over the situation. Ironically, this is one of the best masks for keeping someone from peeking I’ve tried — it really fit neatly to my face, not gaping at all, so it’s very hard to peek unless you unsnap the front. I also like our podcast guest (and sex educator extraordinaire), Tristan Taormino’s suggestion of not letting your bottom see the mask ahead of time, and ripping off the panel in the middle of the scene — very disorienting! The whole thing is made of black leather top-stitched with red, giving it a less intimidating, festive flair, with a strap that’s cunningly made so that no extra bits dangle from the back of the head. Overall, it’s my favorite new blindfold/ mask, with the added bonus that I can wear it to masquerade parties! Peek-a-boo, I see you!

First of all, I should note that this book is actually the third in a series, despite the name. Aqua Erotica 2: 12 Stories/No Boundaries is the smutty, smutty, smutty, follow-up to two awesome waterproof anthologies: Aqua Erotica: 18 Stories for a Steamy Bath and Wet: More Aqua Erotica. And, while the stories in this new one are well-written, with sex that follows naturally from the plot, that’s about all it has in common with the old anthologies. There are some raunchy little erotica pieces in here, which some of you might call porn, and I think it’s about damn time we got some kinkiness bound in waterproof paper. Not every story is super-kinky, but enough of them are that I thought this was a great way to keep the bathroom windows steamed up without running out of hot water during one’s bath. And did I mention it’s waterproof, which makes for great reading at your next pool party, jacuzzi snuggle or beach barbecue?

Watch a couple of hundred porn movies, and you’ll inevitably start to get jaded, and begin to privilege novelty — something that looks different will seem inherently superior to something that looks familiar, even if the familiar is also good. I certainly feel that way sometimes, but for Jesse in Pink I tried to take a step back and evaluate the film on its own merits. Yes, it’s straight mainstream porn featuring some familiar stars (some with fake breasts, no less), but that doesn’t mean it’s not good. And, indeed, it is good, with a playful tone, nice lingerie, beautiful people, and some great dirty talk. Director Celeste is known for doing couples-friendly movies with lots of slow-motion effects and no vocal track, but she must have been feeling especially raunchy and randy when she wrote this flick, because it’s got a bit of gonzo flavor. There’s sort of a plot, about blonde headliner Jesse Jane’s quest for sex, which inexplicably seems to elude her (I never said it was a believable sort of a plot), and she has a masturbation scene, and a good boy-girl scene, and a hot girl-girl scene, and an even hotter three-way where she’s joined by brunette Shay Jordan. She even gets to do some acting, of the deliberately over-emotive school, with lots of wistful sighs and simpering, but it’s supposed to be over-the-top, so it works. Interspersed with Jesse’s story are a few other sex scenes involving people who are, presumably, luckier in love (or at least fucking), notably Tory Lane, who throws herself into her scene with tremendous gusto, keeping up a steady stream of impressive dirty talk that only ceases when she has a cock in her mouth (and that gets louder and more impassioned when she has a cock in her ass). There’s a nice BDSM-flavored scene with Jaylynn West and German dom Chris Charming — the paddle with the word “slut” written on it in reverse, presumably to imprint the word readably on some poor ass, is a bit silly, but the sex is great, with lots of leash-tugging and arm-restraining. And did I mention all the pink lingerie? Lots of pink lingerie.
Look, this one doesn’t break new ground, it doesn’t interrogate the core values of porn, it doesn’t push gender boundaries or reach new heights of kink, but it’s an exemplar of a good fuck-flick with a lot of variety, a script that isn’t painful to hear, and uniformly gorgeous (if sometimes surgically-enchanced) female performers. For just plain smut, it’s pretty damn good.

By science! Since this column is only available due to technology — the Internet, ubiquitous personal computers, and so forth — it’s only natural that I take an interest in the intersection of science and sex. A couple of choice examples:
Research is your friend. Live Science has examined some prevalent penis myths. It turns out: women don’t care how long it is, dude. If they care at all, they care about width. Penis size doesn’t vary with race. Penis-enlargement technlogy mostly doesn’t work, but it can provide a “psychologically uplifting” effect, so go crazy. (Actually, if you can get a Brazilian poisonous snake to bite your cock, the venom will make it swell significantly for up to six months. Book your plane tickets now!) And, what you’re surely most interested in, the real average size for erect penises: “5.5 to 6.2 inches long and about 4.7 to 5.1 inches in circumference.” Go ahead. Get out your tape measures. I’ll wait.
In non-penis-related technology news . . . The online world was shaken — shaken to its core — by the startling revelation that self-described geeks who work on computers for a living also like porn, and aren’t above stealing it from hapless customers. The saga began with a long confession by a former member of the Geek Squad — you know, the roving on-call computer techs who work for Best Buy — about the nefarious porn-stealing propensities of his brethren. (Along with various other shady activities on the part of Best Buy.) Read the whole piece here. A little taste: “If there were a competition between a Playboy editor, a photo lab technician, and a voyeur for the person who has seen the most random pictures of naked people . . . the only way any of them would win is if the Geek Squad agent was late to the contest.” Yeah, that’s right. They’re in ur computerz, lookin at ur nekkid girlfriend.
The Consumerist decided to see if that essay still reflected current reality. They rigged up a PC to make a movie of its own screen and brought in a Geek Squad guy to install iTunes on the computer. He did install iTunes . . . and he also snooped through folders and stole the choice bits of porn. Check out the video here. Now, if you’re reading this, I’m going to hazard a guess that, just maybe, you have some porn on your computer — so you might want to lock that stuff down with a password before you take your computer in for repair. It’s not just Geek Squad — any tech might be tempted. It’s human nature to snoop, after all, so unless you want the guy replacing your computer’s power supply to discover your fetish for latex ponygirl ageplay watersports or whatever, take care.

It’s a little odd to be writing about this. I’m not naturally a very jealous person: I’ve had moments, but to some extent I’m writing this from an outsider’s perspective.
An outsider’s perspective can be useful, though. With jealousy in particular. When you’re in its throes, jealousy is a uniquely difficult emotion to have a rational perspective on.
So in my “used to experience it a fair amount, still get twinges occasionally, but mostly seeing how it affects others” perspective, I’ve broken sexual and romantic jealousy into three basic categories. (I’m setting aside for now the accurate, justified, “your partner is in fact screwing around behind your back/ without your consent/ in violation of your non-monogamy agreement” variety. I’m trying to get at jealousy over feelings and desires, not over actual broken promises and threats to the relationship. Although it’s important to note that these aren’t the same, as it can be easy to confuse them.)

Dear Blowfish,
I’m interested in buying the Anal Probe, but it’s made out of jelly. Does this mean that I need to use a condom every time I use it? It’ll be used anally, but it won’t be shared.
It would be best to use a condom on it, as jelly is a porous material and is impossible to sterilize. However, if you’re the only one using the Anal Probe, it’s probably fine to simply clean it well after each use, though this will probably shorten the life of the toy a bit (though most jelly toys have a somewhat limited life-span to begin with, especially compared to high-quality materials such as silicone).
If you haven’t checked out our page on Caring for Jelly and Other Soft Material Toys, you might want to take a peek on what we suggest.
Happy playing!

I am terrible at goodbyes. I know, I know, you and I have never met, never stared into one another’s eyes across a candlelit table sipping red wine, never tumbled into bed together after an intense afternoon of watching one another from across a crowded room. And yet, I’m distraught and saddened to report that after two years of poking my nose into your sex life, my reign as the toys buyer here at Blowfish has come to an end. (Insert sad, nose-blow noise here.)
Being a toys buyer has a lot of perks, as you might imagine. The work is seldom boring, I get to talk about ass fucking with complete strangers, people confide their deepest and darkest secrets to me like I am their living diary, and, (this could be the best part), I have more sex toys than the Queen of Sheba (at least, I think I do. James in customer service informs me that there are reports of leather and ivory being put to grand uses back in 10th century BC). The toys in my house have taken over nearly all of my storage space: the drawers of my bedside table, an entire chest of drawers (5 drawers, each with a theme like “ass toys” or “strap-on-able dildos”), two plastic tubs under the bed, a drawer in the bathroom, a mail crate in the garage, and a bottle of lube or glass phallus resting in just about every corner of the house. I’ve been given the chance to test almost every toy on the website that a woman who sleeps with women can test, and I can say with certainty that the toys that live within arms reach of my bed have been whittled down to my few, absolute, can’t-live-without-them favorites. So, for my last toy-notes installment, we will take a short tour of my bedside table before I kick you out of my bedroom for good. Please don’t be upset . . . it’s not you, it’s me.

Gah! As you know by now (unless you skip ahead to read books first, in which case, I love you), Rebekah, our toys buyer, is leaving this week. Yes, I’ve known about this for awhile, but I’ve been in denial, so it’s hitting me very hard as the moment of her departure approaches. She will be sorely missed.
So it’s a good thing that this week’s book doesn’t take a long attention span to read. Got a Minute? is an anthology of what they call “sixty-second erotica” (known in other genres as “short-shorts” or “story bombs”) — brief little slippets of fiction, with just enough introductory material to situate you before getting down to the boot-knockin’. This means you don’t have to go digging through lots of plot and character-building in order to get to the wank scene (oh, hush, you know you do). These are very popular collections (you guys just tore through our stock of Five-Minute Erotica and both volumes of the Down and Dirty series), probably because of both how quickly they get you off as well as how much variety you get in one book — there are 60 different stories here, so if you don’t like one (maybe foodie sex ain’t your thang), chances are good you’ll love another (spanking instructions anyone?). So, even if you’ve only got a minute to spare to get yourself off, at least you know it’s going to be a minute well-spent. (Yes, pun intended.)

No, despite my initial hopes, Eastside Story is not a porn spoof of the 1957 Broadway musical (and 1961 film) West Side Story (an early version of which was, coincidentally, titled East Side Story), which was itself a modern take on Romeo and Juliet. It is instead a surprising and charming bit of cinema verite porn, featuring interviews with porn performers followed by fairly straightforward sex scenes, though the actors are mostly tattooed and pierced, in keeping with the “Vivid Alt” aesthetic.
The “Eastside” bit comes from the ostensible setting of East Los Angeles, a famously multicultural area, and it is a relatively ethnically diverse cast. Maybe because it’s a Vivid Alt movie and not a glossier mainstream release, the interviews with the performers are a little more interesting and off-kilter than the usual interviews you might see in behind-the-scenes features. These are interesting people — more interesting than you probably realize — notably including a former stockbroker and multilingual male performer (Tyler Knight) and a self-described MILF with a mohawk who used to be a neuroscience researcher (Michelle Aston), plus the expected ex-strippers, a former cab driver, and Spanish beauty Rebeca Linares who, one assumes, has never needed any employment other than being absolutely gorgeous. The interviews are mostly brief — often too brief! I would have loved to hear more from Roxy Devile, who did a hilarious impromptu reenactment of a “romantic” porn scene she did in another film, complete with breathless simpering and cooing and wide-eyed longing; she concluded by sitting up, smacking her gum, and saying “That’s some couples-friendly shit right there.” As for the sex, it ranges from great (Rebeca Linares and Tyler Knight set the screen on fire) to the, well, merely interesting (mohawked Michele Aston and cutie Page Morgan make a remarkable visual contrast together, but despite the involvement of various vibrators and anal toys and some smeared make-up, the scene never really comes together in terms of personal chemistry).
Though the director Vena Virago comes from an arts and arts installation background, this wasn’t a terribly artsy film, apart from the opening credits montage of grungy East L.A. locales. There’s a whole bonus disc with behind the scenes footage, outtakes, interviews, and — one of the strangest extras I’ve ever seen — experimental short film “Chicken Porn Wonder” which is better seen than described. There’s also a soundtrack CD. It’s quite a package.

Apple’s newest holy grail of a gadget, the iPhone, probably qualifies as a fetish object of its own by this point, combining a handheld computer, mp3 player, cell phone, and — to read some of the accounts — magic wand all in one stylish and intuitive package. Of course, the sex industry is always happy to exploit new technologies. To misquote William Gibson: “The porn finds its own uses for things.”
One of the things you can do with an iPhone, as with other cell phones, is select wallpaper of your choice (you can also watch movies). Those venerable smutmongers at Playboy were quick to provide iPlayboy, content designed especially for the iPhone, from still pictures to video to — ominously — “sounds.”
If Playboy is a little too silicon-enhanced-and-airbrushed for your taste, try the site of photographer Steve Diet Goedde, who has stylish and sexy photos, most in black and white. Clayton James Cubitt made some lovely photos of the yummy Justine Joli scaled to fit the iPhone. (This is probably as good a time as any to note that porn company Digital Playground has has a variety of free trailers available for viewing on an iPod. They’ve announced plans to do the same for the iPhone.)
There was also an ad on Craigslist in New York from a gentleman offering to give some lucky individual his iPhone . . . in exchange for letting said gentleman fuck said lucky individual in the ass. Alas, those killjoys at Craigslist flagged it for removal, so I can’t link it directly for your perusal. Fortunately, the good people at Fleshbot captured the post for posterity. My favorite line: “I am only attracted to certain types of assholes . . .some look nasty but some are good looking.” Truer words were ne’er writ.
All you early adopters out there, have fun iWanking!
