It’s no big secret that I love oysters…fried, grilled, or raw…I’ll eat them any way they are served. When my wife and I go to our favorite seafood restaurant in Seattle every eight weeks (that’s how frequently I go to the big city to get my hair cut), we always order a dozen oysters on… Read More Fact or Fiction…Oysters are an aphrodisiac
Seems like 100 years ago, I was sitting in my Psych 101 course listening to the professor talk about the various giants in the field of study. My father was an avid follower of Sigmund Freud, and my sister and I vehemently disagreed with most of his thoughts on the human psyche for a good… Read More Intermittent Reinforcement
As the holiday fast approaches, I started thinking of how much further from the original meaning this holiday has traveled. Not unlike Christmas, the commercialization of this holiday has traveled a long road. Second only to Christmas in food sales, last year’s sales the week prior to Thanksgiving amounted to 2.8 billion in sales, up… Read More Commercialization of Thanksgiving
The other day, I was doing my daily scroll through Facebook and came across a post that showed an article about the history of the middle finger. Well…of course that caught my interest because I love researching history, especially oddities or origin stories. And what is more fascinating than where profane gestures came from? For… Read More The Middle Finger
I was scrolling through Facebook posts this past week and noticed a friend had achieved a #1 ranking, and I congratulated them on their achievement. The author responded by stating that the ranking was short-lived. I replied that they should take the win because nothing in life is forever. If only I could take that… Read More Marketing Badge
I love reading the various news stories, especially the human interest ones that stay far away from politics…or do they? This past week I read an article titled, “Turns Out Most Animals Are Pretty Frickin Gay.” Of course that title caught my eye and I knew I had to blog on it. Given the all-out… Read More Most Mammals Are Pretty F$%king Gay!
As happens so often, I was reading a Facebook post questioning the reality of ripping silk panties in a particularly passionate sex scene. Many noted that silk is an incredibly strong material requiring quite a bit of force to rip. Of course that got me thinking about the old comparison between silk and iron and… Read More Bodice Rippers
The other night I was in bed, trying to fall asleep and like many nights I had the strangest thoughts. Yes, I have insomnia. Anyway, I was thinking about how some of my favorite swear words can be at a minimum both nouns and verbs, and perhaps even derivatives could become adverbs or adjectives as… Read More The Versatile Swear Word
I’ve read a lot of Sapphic Novels (probably close to 2,000 by now) and very few of them either feature or even mention Lesbian/Sapphic bars. Not even the ones set back in the eighties when there were a hell of a lot more of them. I remember reading an article a few years back about… Read More Lesbian/Sapphic Bars
In all my exploration of Sapphic literature, I don’t believe I’ve ever come across the use of Ben Wa Balls in a sex scene or even a passing mention of them, which I find very interesting since they’ve been around since 500 AD in Japan. They are quite arguably the world’s oldest sex toy. Of… Read More Ben Wa Balls
