Ask Fanny – Tantra for the New Year

January 1st, 2009

Some of you are interested in slowing down and going deeper into your sexuality, your erotic desires and your intimacy with a partner. For those of you who are ready or curious, Tantra is your ticket.

Here for the New Year are Five Principles of Tantric Sex to contemplate:

Breathe
The vast majority of people hold their breath when they are sexually excited or about to have that orgasm. Tantra teaches the opposite: breathing will lengthen and heighten your sensual pleasure and your orgasm.

Relax
Most folks tense up when they are trying to have an orgasm – especially when we use a vibrator. Tantra teaches how to have exquisite orgasms by doing the opposite: relaxing.  Relaxing into pleasure. Breathe. Relax.

Open Your Body to Sensation
When we tense and don’t breathe, we feel fewer sensations, and therefore need more stimulation (like a vibrator or harder cracks on the ass) to become aroused. Tantra teaches the body to become nearly electric with sensation when it is touched.  Breathe. Relax. Feel More Pleasure.

Circulate Erotic Energy throughout Your Body
Why let that large pool of erotic sensation stay in the genital area? That aroused state is energy, and it is delicious. Tantra teaches how to expand that energy beyond your genitals and into the rest of your body. That feel-good pleasure is healing to every cell, as well.  Breathe. Relax. Feel More Pleasure. Have a BodyGasm.

Resources
My two favorite books:
Tantra Between the Sheets by Val Sampson
The Essential Tantra by Kenneth Ray Stubbs and Kyle Spencer

My favorite video:
A two-set by Margot Anand, the French-born and Sorbonne-bred lady who brought the old ancient Tantra tradition to America in a modern form: Secret Keys to the Ultimate Love Life.

My favorite educational Web site: Tantra.com

May your new year find you slowing down, vibing in and turning on with greater depth and pleasure.

Quickies

December 15th, 2008

We were in New York not long ago, and over an Italian dinner in Chelsea, a friend told us this story:

“Years ago, I was living down in the West Village with my boyfriend. We had an apartment on Bleecker Street between Christopher and Grove. One Saturday morning we were out grocery shopping. On the way home, climbing up the stairs, we got as far as the second floor. Suddenly we just dropped the grocery bags and did it right there in the hallway of our apartment building. Five minutes! And it was utterly invigorating.”

One Night StandIt struck us that December is a month filled with holiday parties, racing around, shopping, more parties, gift-wrapping, family dinners…did we say parties? When so much holiday activity is swirling around, it’s easy to forget to treat yourself.

Quickies are the perfect escape…and so invigorating, as our friend discovered that day in the hallway.

Give your sweetie a quickie this season, and you won’t regret it!

Need some inspiration? Check out the dykes in the red bathroom in One Night Stand.

Happy Hanukah! Merry Christmas! Enjoy your December!

Yours in good love and sex,

SexGeek Review of One Night Stand

December 15th, 2008

The SexGeek has written a blow-us-away most excellent review of Fatale’s latest DVD, One Night Stand.

One Night Stand“The film’s various scenes are downright delicious, definitely a cut above what I’ve come to expect of queer porn… The chemistry in the final scene is electrifying… Really the whole film is beautifully shot, with lots of great angles, especially impressive considering it’s a DIY… All in all, One Night Stand is a true treat, and definitely a must for the collection of any queer porn connoisseur.”

Read the whole review: “Finally a One Night Stand.”

New Crash Pad DVD – Free Shipping on All

December 1st, 2008

Yes, it’s true! The Crash Pad Series Volume 3 is out and if you love this series like we do, it’s a must-see as the saga of the crash pad rendezvous continues. The Crash Pad Series Volume 3

Director Shine Louise Houston reprises her role as the hidden voyeur, devouring the scenes before her. Butches, femmes, bois and transfolk all come to the crash pad for private trysts filled with delicious dyke sex.

This queer cornucopia has a little something for everyone—bondage in scene one, a luscious threeway in scene three, tender transmen in the fourth scene. The busty Red and her goateed lover Javier share the most romance, and a whole lotta passion in a surprising role reversal, in the last scene, which is in our opinion the second best one of the five.

Dylan in Crash Pad Series Volume 3Our favorite scene by far stars the femme Dylan. Lying in the dirty sheets Dallas and Shawn have just vacated, Dylan is magnificent in this solo self-love moment. And she doesn’t just stop at one orgasm!

If you too want “the key to the crash pad,” we recommend you start with The Crash Pad, a good introduction to what’s in store with these insatiable dykes. This is one sexy DVD.

Here’s a letter we received this past month from Janice M., in Clarksdale, Mississippi:

“Thank You just doesn’t express my gratitude for such an amazing product. I received The Crash Pad today and after viewing only part of the first scene, I was overjoyed at the beautiful women! It was like these women stepped out of MY dreams. Real lesbians, having real orgasms. O M G!!!

“Thank You. I can hardly wait till payday to begin building my own little ‘love library’ of scorching hot movies. You gals Rock.”

The Crash Pad Series Volume 2The Crash Pad Series Volume 1 picks right up where The Crash Pad left off. Next comes The Crash Pad Series Volume 2, with one of our favorite scenes, starring Dallas and Vai.

The Crash Pad Gift Set gives you the first three Crash Pad DVDs at a nice discount.

And don’t forget—you get free shipping on all DVDs through Christmas. No minimums!

Yours in good love and sex,

Ask Fanny: “Love Juice”

December 1st, 2008

G-spot expert Deborah Sundahl, a.k.a. Fanny Fatale, answers your questions about female ejaculation and the g-spot. Deborah Sundahl - Female Ejaculation Expert

Hello, Fanny,

I was wondering if it is possible to improve the taste/smell of my ejaculate. My partner says that it is quite acidic and burns her throat. Upon tasting it myself I quite agree, and now understand why she chokes sometimes. Also, the scent is quite strong, bordering on unpleasant for both of us.

I am aware that my ejaculate should be light and fresh, and mine is not even in the ballpark. I am also quite positive it is not urine, since I have tasted that as well. I don’t push really hard (when I ejaculate), because I don’t have to (so I am not leaking urine). Mostly, I am receiving oral sex when I ejaculate (hence her choking). Sometimes it squirts out a bit, and other times (my female ejaculate) just gushes out.

I ejaculate almost every time I orgasm. I can have many orgasms in a session, so therefore I ejaculate a lot. I’m 39 now, and started to ejaculate in my 30s.

I have taken prescription medication for many years, but none of it is new, nor has it changed in many years, except Cymbalta, which I started in April, 2007. I don’t use illicit drugs. Of course, my diet could use improvement, but it’s not terrible.

The medications I currently take are:

Cymbalta 60 mg – depression
Zoloft 75 mg – depression/anxiety
Avapro 75 mg – high blood pressure
Lipitor 80 mg – high cholesterol
Trazodone 50 mg – sedative for bedtime
Clonazepam – anxiety for bedtime
Multi-vitamin
Acidophilus – GI infections

I wouldn’t even say that urine smells as unpleasant as my ejaculate. What can I do or try?

Sincerely,

Jane & Natalie

Dear Jane and Natalie,

I have not heard of this problem before, so initially I was completely stumped. Female ejaculate, like other bodily fluids such as tears, vaginal lubrication, etc., have certain tastes and smells that are “normal” or have a normal range. Your ejaculate falls out of the normal range. Therefore, what’s wrong?

I suspect the prescription drugs you are taking. It is an extensive list and you have been taking them for quite some time. I would see your doctor, and tell him or her about this side effect of burning, acidic ejaculate that you are experiencing. Also, consider getting a second and third opinion on your medical diagnoses and treatment plan—a standard practice in the health care industry.

I’m sorry, I don’t know of any natural remedy, food, tea or hydrosol to correct this problem. Should I stumble upon one, I will let you and the Fatale readers know. If anyone has any suggestions, please write in.

I feel compelled, as an herbalist, feminist and Goddess feminist, to comment here about pharmaceutical drug use.

1) As Goddess juice (female ejaculate), your ejaculate is, I believe, telling you—quite loudly—that these drugs aren’t that great for your body.

2) As a feminist, I believe it is worthwhile for us as a culture to take a look at the drugs we are taking in record numbers today. In the 1950s, women were popping sedatives in unprecedented numbers. Marilyn Monroe’s pill popping was not unusual for her gender and her time. As well, women were also undergoing lobotomies in record numbers. The complaints were for a “problem that has no name” as Betty Friedan made famous in her book, The Feminine Mystique. This is the book that started the 1960s feminist movement.

3) As an herbalist, these days the future is about going Green, and that includes what we put into our bodies. Natural alternatives support the body like food does, rather than overburden it with pharmaceutical chemicals—possibly destroying the utterly divine, fresh and light smell that is our female ejaculate.

In next month’s column, we will talk about toxic sex toys, plastics and phthalates.

Dressing Up * How Many Fingers?

You can see all the poll results here.

This month we ask: How many fingers?

Vote now! The poll is on Fatale’s home page.
