Sex Toy Tuesday! (#2): Koosh It All Night LONG!

Last week…over wine with friends, something novelty was discovered…Well to be honest a few novel things were discovered…one being that a couple of my friends had their tongues pierced…which of course ALWAYS leads to the discussion of oral sex. I won’t bore you with all the naughty details, except to say that the inquisition, discussion rather, was anything but boring…and that something vitally important to those of us that enjoy oral (giving and receiving)  was revealed:

THE VIBRATING TONGUE RING!

Now I know what you’re thinking…it sounded like something too fantastical to exist to me as well…but NO…The Vibrating tongue ring exists and is widely available!

There it is…teasing us above.

The little devil even comes with 2 extra batteries to ensure complete satisfaction!

Obviously the ladies in the discussion, of variant sexual orientations, expressed unabashed excitement to both give and receive from their “end”. AND, after a little deeper discussion with the men…it was thought that perhaps oral sex on men could also be enhanced by  such a petite and yet delightfully ticklish little toy!

So…Viva La Lengua!!!

Here is this amazing little creation in action:

(You have to love the choice of background music there…interesting yet appropriate)

It’s enough to get me giggling with excitement…I tell you! Without any personal experience with his particular product…the THOUGHT of its soft yet spiky little rubber vibrating balls on my clit…gives me (the good kind of) chills, clear through to my…well you know!

If you are interested in purchasing one of your own for your lover and/or yourself…both really…everyone seems to benefit from this toy…I found a link that appears to be legitimate, CLICK HERE (remember I am not associated with this company or their products)…AND don’t forget to tell me ALL ABOUT IT…sharing is caring.

HAPPY SEX TOY TUESDAY!!!

“Black Swan” Gives ME Something To Think About

I have just started this complex psychological exploration on randomness…but I must say the concept already thrills!

Here’s what “they” have to say:

“In business and government, major money is spent on prediction. Uselessly, according to Taleb, who administers a severe thrashing to MBA- and Nobel Prize-credentialed experts who make their living from economic forecasting. A financial trader and current rebel with a cause, Taleb is mathematically oriented and alludes to statistical concepts that underlie models of prediction, while his expressive energy is expended on roller-coaster passages, bordering on gleeful diatribes, on why experts are wrong. They neglect Taleb’s metaphor of “the black swan,” whose discovery invalidated the theory that all swans are white. Taleb rides this manifestation of the unpredicted event into a range of phenomena, such as why a book becomes a best-seller or how an entrepreneur becomes a billionaire, taking pit stops with philosophers who have addressed the meaning of the unexpected and confounding. Taleb projects a strong presence here that will tempt outside-the-box thinkers into giving him a look. Gilbert Taylor Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved”

Hmmnnnn…anyone else want to jump into this RANDOMNESS WITH ME?!?

Nook vs. Kindle: It’s A BLOODY Battle!

For those of you who love to read, a lot, like me…you may be finding yourself growing increasingly attracted to the few e-reader options out there and by now you most likely have narrowed your interest down to two:

The Kindle by Amazon

&

The Nook by Barnes & Nobel

Due to book availability, price, Wi-Fi ability, accessibility, and ease of use these two easily lead the pack…and I have owned BOTH…but prefer ONE over the other, decisively.

Let me first say, that I am a BOOK PACK RAT…meaning I have all of the books I have ever bought, been given, or otherwise acquired since childhood…which is quite a few…all packed, sometimes in double rows, on bookshelves that reach the ceiling of my New York Apartment. AND although I have fully integrated e-books into my DIGITAL LIBRARY…there are certain reasons to buy ACTUAL BOOKS, in my humble opinion, which include:

• Research/Resource Materials-Nothing compares to a highlighter and post-its. The e-books come with a highlighter option that simply is neither user-friendly nor easily accessible. When you need-to-know something pulling the book out and paging-through equals gratification like to other, “I found it!”
• Image-Heavy Materials-Obviously. Unless you have the Ipad, which doesn’t have access to nearly the amount of books as the others, the resolution just doesn’t measure-up on these e-readers quite yet. 
• Poetry-Again there is an almost magical quality to picking up an actual book of poems, thumbing the many dog-eared pages…and visiting some forgotten and yet much loved prose.

Aside from that…I am a lover of the e-book movement!

But…ONE reigns…above the other:

THE NOOK.

And NOW here’s why:

Both the Nook and the Kindle’s cost is comparable: Approximately $149/$139 without Wi-Fi and & $189 with. Additionally, the cost per book averages out, with more variance in Nook-books but in the end, downloads run between $4.99-$12.99 depending on release date and individual deals with the publisher. Both share one fantastic perk: FREE BOOKS! Quite honestly, both seem to offer the same free titles…so we begin with an even playing field… 

Until the Nook urges forward…and takes the lead!

Because…the Nook is associated with Barnes & Nobel in-store support is available, right as you walk-in, in fact. Also if you power-up when you enter the store you receive instant in-store discounts and have access to ready any book for your duration of your visit…not to mention Starbuck’s is in-house and I love the free cookie coupon! 

The Nook has the option for an external expandable memory, the Kindle does not. BUT with a base capacity of approximately 10,000 books for both…does it matter?

The Nook also has a removable/replaceable batter, the Kindle does not.

More IMPORTANTLY, the Nook has the option to SHARE your books with friends for 14-days…which I think is excellent…in that way I think Barnes and Nobel captures one of the beautiful things about ACTUAL BOOKS…sharing. The difference? You actually get your book back in the end!

Also, the Nook is slightly more user friendly with a i-phone-like touch-pad platform that, for me, is easier to navigate and search for books. The downside to this additional hardware being that the Nook takes a bit longer to boot-up when you initially turn the power on, and its battery-life isn’t as long as the Kindle…3-4 days compared to 7+ days…But for me, the trade-off was acceptable.

Comparisons aside…most of the books reviewed in this blog were originally enjoyed on the Kindle or Nook…and I must say both have served my Bibliophilic fantasies well…however, should you decided on the Nook…look me up…I’m all about sharing…Happy Reading!

 

Snippet From “Shadowfever” (Karen Marie Moning): Latest Book Review!

rottencandy:

““You killed my sister!” The dark lake in my head begins to boil. I hear rustles behind me, leathery wet sounds and I whirl. The freaks that killed my sister are taking advantage of the distraction and trying to leave. Not a chance in hell. This is what I’ve been living for. This moment. My revenge. First the ones that killed her. Then the one who delivered her to them. I lunge for them, screaming my sister’s name. I slice and rip and tear. I begin with my spear and end with my bare hands. I fall on them like the beast-form of Barrons. My sister died in an alley with these monsters working on her and now I know it wasn’t fast. I can see her, white-lipped with pain, knowing she’s going to die, scratching a clue into the pavement. Hoping I’ll come, afraid I’ll come. Believing I could succeed where she failed. God, I miss her! Hatred consumes me. I devolve into vengeance, I embrace it, I become it. When I finish there are no pieces larger than my fist. I’m shaking, gasping, covered with bits of flesh and gray matter from smashing their skulls. I double over and hit the pavement, puking. I puke until I dry-heave then I dry-heave until my ears ring and my eyes are stinging. I don’t have to look behind me to know the street is empty. My sister’s murderer is gone. I finally got what I came to Dublin for. I know who killed my sister. I curl in a tight ball on the cold pavement and cry.”

Illusions of Beauty…

(Physical) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

(Physical) Beauty is determined by society.

(Physical) Beauty is a myth.

Do you believe the above statements?

Are you able to completely free yourself from this all too powerful societal construction? Do you even fully wish to be entirely free?

These are complicated questions with even more intimate, individual, and multifaceted answers.

I do not venture to guess, divine, or even analyse yours…rather I challenge you to explore your own psyche…to become curious as to the origins of the why’s and how’s of your notions of beauty.

WHY?

Well primarily because I believe that any external force that exacts influence on our self concept is worth…knowing. We owe it to ourselves.

Because…we are beautiful.

A Comment on…US?: Hark,The Return of Sexism! … Hallelujah? (via )

I want to thank XESENTA  (http://xesenta.wordpress.com) for posting this piece on author, Natasha Walter’s newest book (“Living Dolls: The return of sexism”) that scrutinizes our “oversexed” modern-society. Walter asserts that, while gender politics have been reformed in terms of “gender-equality”, CULTURE HAS NOT. That, in fact, sexism has “slid in through the back door,” and is alive and well, as can be witnessed in our erotically-obsessed existence. Walter sites the integration of pole-dancing, breast implants, and porn-stars into our mainstream culture as evidence for her argument. Additionally, she provides evidence against biologically determined gender-identity, from a mother’s perspective.

While, I certainly agree with her latter premise, the former leaves me wondering…scratching my chin for some serious self-reflection!

The book seems a bit difficult to get a hold of in the States, but you can bet that if I do get my lil hands on it…there will be a book review on my “other” site (http://conchitasopenbook.tumblr.com) sooner than you can say…the F word, not not that one the OTHER one…FEMINISM!
