Meet Animatronic Penis & his RX only male vibrator

For those guys out there that don't think vibrators or sex toys are for them, the medical experts of Reflexonic want to prove you wrong- but by prescription only!  This sterile lookin' device is a new medically approved vibrator for men.  Plenty of guys love masturbation sleeves or vibrators, but our lovely American medicalized culture is offering the prescription for erectile function.

I do believe this is the most un-sexy representation of a boner I've ever seen.





Oh, and don't forget to look at the fine print:
Yup, only $300 each!

The Arousing Scent of Pumpkin Pie


This report from my new favorite news provider, WPBF of West Palm Beach, tells of new research on scents that turn men on.  A study published in Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality showed that pumpkin pie and lavender arouse men up to 40% more.

I enjoy the giggling news casters as they report that the study found "nothing turns men off." Among the scents that turned women off? Men's cologne.

It's MOvember! Grow it out for men's health


I just learned about the awesome movement of Movember.  Every November men around the world grow their moustaches for men's health awareness.  Yay for healthy testicals and prostates!  Boo cancer! 

It's not too late to start growing yours and spreading the word.  I also recommend prostate massage for a healthy body!

Rethinking Creep

Creep, creeper, heebby-geebies, you just know when you feel it. What makes a creep? Why is it so hard to define? Clarisse Thorn writes "Why Do We Demonize Men Who Are Honest About Their Sexual Needs?" asking women to think how the term creep.



How does a guy express sexual interest without coming off as a creep? Our dominant culture that makes talking about sex taboo. Coupled that with pressure on guys to be the initiators, what's a caring guy to do? Charlie Glickman Suggests 5 tips for men.

I use 'creep' to refer to a situation where a person unconsentually puts their sexual desires in the social, emotional, or physical space of someone(s) else. A creep does not respect boundaries. When boundaries are unstated, creeps don't ask for clarification. Creeps often come off as awkward or shifty.

Although, as Thorn points out, women can generalize any open and honest communication about sexuality as creepy. Open and honest communication about sex, desire is uncommon in our society, so it would make sense for it to feel odd or uncomfortable at first (especially amidst all the sex negative message we receive daily). If sex positivity is the goal then we all need to get used to talking about sex in appropriate consentual situations. Of course, being mindful about context is important. Having a loud conversation about masturbation sleeves in line at the zoo with young kids and families around you might make your date or fellow zoo-goers uncomfortable. I think we should be open about bodies, sex, sexuality, but there are cultural expectations for public spaces. You wouldn't poop on the sidewalk or get on the city bus naked (not to mention, those two acts are illegal).

Moral of the story, is consent. Be considerate and communicative, not creepy.
