Sex Tips & Tricks: Lovemaking in the Bath

April 1st, 2008

It’s springtime here in the Northern Hemisphere, and we were thinking of flowers. How lovely the gardens are beginning to look, now that it’s April.

One of the most romantic women we know keeps pots of flowering plants year-round near her bathtub, an old porcelain behemoth that is deep and satisfying to just soak in alone. She hangs lace curtains in the window, which reminds us of Ireland, and keeps waterproof sex toys at hand.

Danger: Don’t bring your plug-in vibrator into the bath with you, okay? Very dangerous.

Old porcelain bathtubs held the heat of the water well. You didn’t get cold after ten minutes. But hey, we’ve got Jacuzzis and hot tubs, hot springs and even private spas now. The old ones also have straighter sides so you can sit up and play with yourself, or have your girlfriend finger your love spot until you come.

Water sometimes makes it hard to get properly lubed as quick as you would, say, on a bed. But take your time, and your natural juices will flow before you know it. You can also straddle your tub and let your girlfriend lie in the water underneath you. Very sexy indeed.

Some people prefer showers for sex, and the only thing we’re careful of while doing it in the shower is slipping and falling.  There’s a hot scene between the star oil wrestlers in Take Her Down.

Another sex-in-water sex flick we have is the classic Hungry Hearts. Pepper and Reeva have a great lovemaking scene in a sunken Japanese tub overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

So here’s the challenge: Send us your bathtub and shower sex scenes. We’ll select the best and post them on the site. If your flick is selected, we’ll call or e-mail you first, and you’ll need a model release if we use it. Just print it out and have your friends sign a copy before you shoot.

You can shoot on a camera, your cell phone or any other method that appeals to you.

And hey, if we do a new DVD, we’ll pay you for it too. See Real Lesbian Sex for more details on payment.

Q&A: Ask Fanny – Squirting Far

April 1st, 2008

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

Dear Fanny,
Hello, I am a squirter and was wondering, how do I increase the projection of the squirt in distance and the liquid amount of my squirts? Is there something I can do to facilitate this amazing womanly feat? I do okay now…but I want to become a super squirter and squirt even farther. What are some tricks of the trade when it comes to squirting? Please do tell…I want to know…

Dawn, via e-mail

Dear Dawn,
You increase the projection of the ejaculate arch by lying on your stomach and by having nothing in your vagina that might obstruct the flow. The stronger your PC muscles, the farther you can shoot.

The amount of ejaculation usually increases over time, as women become used to ejaculating. Letting go completely will increase the amount of ejaculate, as will continuous stimulation. However, the latter’s amount is only increased over the course of a lovemaking session, not in one single ejaculate. There is also more ejaculate after ovulation and up to menstruation.

Are your aspirations professional? “Super squirter” and “tricks of the trade” make me think you wish to appear in porn films. If that is the case, most profuse ejaculators are pretty much born that way, just like popular male porn stars are born with large members. You can attempt the suggestions above, and see what happens.

But overall, each woman’s capacity and preference for ejaculating with exuberance and skill varies, quite naturally, among individuals.

Good luck!

Fanny

We promised you a while back that we’d try to find out some more information about the status of On Our Backs. We have some good news.

As you may know, H.A.F. Publishing sold On Our Backs and Girlfriends magazines in 2004. You can still check out On Our Backs’ Web site, www.onourbacksmag.com, but both magazines ceased publishing at that time.

According to Heather Findlay, the publisher, she is “still considering relaunching both Girlfriends and OOB online.”

Until that time, if you want back issues of On Our Backs, you can order them for $8.95 per copy, which includes shipping. She has issues available from 1998 through 2004. Simply e-mail Heather with the subject line “OOB Back Issue.” Heather’s e-mail address is hfindlay at hafpublishing.com (her address is written out here for security).

Amid Sex Scandal, Spitzer Resigns

March 12th, 2008

Amid a sex scandal that has New York reeling, Governor Eliot Spitzer has resigned. We were most curious about comments cited in the New York Times this week.

Governor Spitzer was called “difficult” by Temeka Lewis, one of the bookers at the Emperor’s Club. He asked the prostitutes “to do things you might not think were safe,” according to Ms. Lewis.

Kristen, the hooker in question, didn’t have a problem with the governor’s requests, though, and in fact liked him. According to the court papers, Kristen said to him, “Listen, dude, you really want the sex?”

Which got us wondering…What kind of sex did Governor Spitzer want that made it appear “difficult”? Is he a bottom? Of course it’s a stereotype, but people in positions of power, people who get off on law and order, people at the top, in our experience they like taking it lying down now and then. Maybe Kristen’s really a good dominatrix waitrix.

And then we thought, perhaps he likes it up the butt. Hmm. Is he a bend-over-boyfriend kind of guy?

What do you think? Click “Post a comment” and let us know!

The Strapon Issue

February 29th, 2008

Are strap-ons an issue? You might wonder. Since the advent of Bend Over Boyfriend, straight folks are really getting into the idea of women strapping it on for men’s anal pleasure. But lesbians and strapons go way back. (Some people spell strapon as one word; some use a hyphen.)

Each of us has a different memory of our first encounters with strapons. Femmes didn’t used to strap on at all, or hardly ever–strapons were the purview of butches–but Jackie and Shar and a whole generation of women said, “Screw that!” They’ll strap it on when and where they want to.

When Suburban Dykes was released, Miss Sharon Mitchell showed up wearing a terribly sexy strap-on, the epitome of the butch top who taught those girls a thing or two.

Are strap-ons a distraction? They can be for those who aren’t familiar or comfortable with them, but for those of us who like the sensation, the passion only increases. There’s nothing quite like a romp with that strap-on to help ease the way.

What was your first encounter with a strap-on? Tell us your story here.

Yours in good love and sex,

Sex Tips & Tricks: How to Strap On

February 29th, 2008

We received an interesting letter from a reader who asked, “I have a question about strapons. Is it possible for a woman to wear a strapon underneath her pants or jeans, as long as they’re not too tight? I’ve seen pics of boyshorts for women at Victoria’s Secret that might enable a woman to wear a strapon. But I wanted to know for sure. Could a strapon fit into a woman’s underwear and pants? Would it depend on the size of each item?”

Carol Queen does a great job showing women how to strap it on in Bend Over Boyfriend, and lesbians have many, many role models in lesbian DVDs.

Here are some more strap-on tips:

— Buy a strapon that fits you. If you’re lucky enough to live in a city with a sex-toy store, go there and try on the harness in the dressing room…over your underwear. If you don’t live near a store where you can shop in person, go to a reputable Web site, look around and be sure to check their returns policy. Check out Toys in Babeland’s “How to Choose a Harness” page here.

— If you intend to wear it under jeans or pants, make sure the pants are big enough and have enough give in the butt so that you don’t get the equivalent of panty lines…in this case, strap-on lines.

— You can wear a strapon underneath or over your underwear, but we don’t recommend wearing a strapon with a thong or g-string because the straps can get caught in the thin fabric.

Strap it on tight! This is important. The strapon needs to sit flat against your skin or underwear.

— If you’re packing–wearing the strapon with a hard or soft dildo–pick a dildo that’s small enough so that your jeans or pants don’t feel too tight. You want to consider if you’re going out in public too. Do you want everyone to see a long hard schlong down your leg? Or don’t you care? As long as you can walk comfortably, suit yourself.

— If you’re packing underneath a pair of underwear, consider wearing boxer shorts or men’s underwear, which has a place for you to pull out your piece and display it. If and when you’re ready, that is.

— Some women like something inside them while wearing a strapon, but in our experience, this is the exception. Those internal muscles are necessary for making love to your partner. Enjoy the clitoral stimulation, and the sheer excitement of sex with a strapon–pleasing your partner.

Experiment! Most women have more than one harness and use them for different purposes, and to suit their moods. Two-strap harnesses give flexibility, but you might want to try a one-strap harness. You might have a favorite dildo for a girlfriend and another one for packing and hot dates at the local bar.

Q&A: Ask Fanny – Crystal Wand

February 29th, 2008

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

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dear Fanny,

You mentioned the “Crystal Wand” in your book. I’m looking to purchase one, but I’m having a hard time finding any advice on how to use it. Can you tell me the proper technique?

Thanks,
Bryan in Michigan

PS: Thanks to your book, I’ve helped my last 2 girlfriends ejaculate!!!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dear Bryan,

Well, congratulations on helping women to ejaculate!

Because the Crystal Wand is lucite, please make sure it is always moist. It dries out quickly and when it’s dry, it hurts.

The best description of how to use the magic wand is in my video Tantric Journey. You can see quite clearly how Corrynna uses it to ejaculate.

But in general, use one curled end to slip behind the “tail” of the G-spot -the “back end” of the female prostate organ. Use the tip to push (prod and poke) toward the vaginal roof where the tail ends. Explore the “crevice” where tail ends and vaginal roof begins. The tip works nicely to find that one spot that is still sensitive in most women who are just learning to awaken their G-spots. Since it is a hard tool, don’t poke too hard.

If she doesn’t feel anything, she is numb there and needs to reawaken her sensations, which takes lots of time–sometimes years.

You use the 2-3 inches or so from the tip, to gently pull forward on the tail of the G-spot.

As with all toys and bodies, everyone is different. Not all women will feel the same. Different women have different desires and what they like done. And as with all techniques, best to get the general idea and then let the moment lead you.

Hope this helps!

Fanny
