Use Porn To Improve Your Sex Life

56aa0134969dc80b6361ea0060a6e95f

Pornography does not have to make women shudder; in fact, it could be quite a thrilling and interesting experience for both partners. Obviously, we're not referring to the kinds of movies in which a pizza delivery guy shows up and gets lucky with six women. Most women need plots, however weak, in whatever they watch and porn is no exception to the rule. While it's true that most women don't watch porn because the men are ugly, it's visual and contrived (among other reasons), a lack of plot is probably the greatest deterrent. With that in mind, you can be sure that the following will teach you how to use porn to improve your sex life. Watch and learn Porn, or the more acceptable "erotic movie," can improve your sex life by increasing sexual pleasure and desire through stimulating visual images of positions and techniques. Not to mention auditory enhancers such as moaning, screaming for more and dirty talk. There are many advantages to blending porn movies into your sex life. Below is a list of the positive effects and ways you can use porn to improve your sex life, whether you're in the midst of or at the beginning of a relationship. * Partners can mimic the same positions, which can add new varieties of sensations. * Because of their aural effects, porn movies can liberate both partners, allowing them to become very vocal as well. * Porn can turn you and your woman on because of the voyeuristic impression of watching other couples making love. * Partners can role-play, assuming the different roles that the characters exhibit in the film. * Partners can learn different techniques and perhaps stimulate each other in more innovative manners (i.e., spanking, cunnilingus/fellatio with ice cubes, blindfolds, etc.). * Watching porn can make orgasm and ejaculation more intense and exciting. Don't stare; participate There are certain things men should keep in mind when watching porn with their girlfriend of wife, especially if this is something new and edgy for their women. Here are some "safety" tips you should keep in mind: * Stare at your partner more often than the screen. * Don't appear too aggressive (unless she wants you to be) or eager. * Tell her she's sexy, beautiful and a turn-on while you're having sex with her. * Don't compare what the women in the porn is doing to what she's doing. Because the senses play a huge part in any sexual experience, seeing and hearing others having sex will stimulate the body physically, making both partners secrete natural lubrication. Enjoying a mutually satisfying experience will enrich your sex lives and may, perhaps, lead to other new ideas. Don't be afraid to try new things with your partner because you'll never know what you like (or don't like) until you try it. it's not sex ed Always keep in mind that porn movies are not the standard for sex; they're simply a way to improve your sex life. Basically, your partner's comfort and sexual satisfaction should be more … [Read more...]

Mr. Marcus Pens 'Porn Star Guide to Great Sex'

3fad29948cb5af915be2d310adecece7

LOS ANGELES—AVN Hall of Famer Mr. Marcus is branching out into the literary world. Nearly five years in the making, a new instructional tome by the perenially ball-capped cocksman titled The Porn Star Guide to Great Sex is due out this summer from St. Martin's Press. "I got approached by an agent out of New York who represented various authors, and she asked me was I interested in writing a how-to," Marcus told AVN. "And I thought it was funny, because most books that are written by adult stars are memoirs—Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, Heather Hunter—and I wasn't asked to do that. And when I went to the bookstore to do a little research, there were no books written by adult male stars; there were sex books written by women and there were sex books written by doctors. So I thought it would be an intersting take." The Porn Star Guide contains 13 chapters on topics ranging from what men and women want to the ways diet and excercise can help improve sex. "It started out being written for females, but then I kept realizing that men were going to be reading this book, so it became a back and forth," Marcus said. "I would describe what women have told me they like sexually and what they want to be done to them, and then I would reiterate that through the man's perspective." Each chapter of the book opens with an anecdote about one of Marcus' own on or off-screen experiences to serve as illustration for that chapter's lessons. "It's really about making adjustments in your life," Marcus explained. "Sex can be frustrating ... I mean, Viagra wouldn't have been created if there wasn't some frustration in the bedroom. And I'm Viagra-free, but I've been through those situations in the bedroom, and I realized sometimes taking a moment, just being creative, was probably number one to perform with someone successfully. And I write that throughout the book, just encouraging it." Marcus noted that he's recruited industry legend Nina Hartley to write the book's forward. He also hinted that he may be continuing to explore the scribe path. "I just finished reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy, and after reading a book like that, you're like, 'OK, the freedom of writers ... there's just a lot of freedom in that,'" he said. "And I'm sitting there and I'm thinking to myself, 'Could I finally be done with porn?' I picked up Tera Patrick's book and I was reading it, and there's a lot of interesting stories in this industry, and I don't think a lot of people get the oppurtunity to tell them. I would love to write more, and I would love to expand on what got me in this business and what I've been through, 'cause I've been through a lot. I've been through all kinds of crazy shit. I think people would be interested. I hope they would be." Mr. Marcus' The Porn Star Guide to Great Sex is available for pre-order now at Amazon.com. In addition, the first chapter of the book is previewed on Marcus' website, www.mrmarcus.com. … [Read more...]

d21022a0ecee0f14ef9208ba80e36d97

Breast cancer awareness benefit hosted by Taylor Wane and Brittney Sky set for April 3 HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Fetish Nation’s kinky citizens will join with the adult entertainment community to raise funds for international breast cancer research organization Breakthrough Breast Cancer at the Boobie Ball on Saturday, April 3. Produced by Intense Management and hosted by Taylor Wane and Brittney Sky, the Boobie Ball brings the kink community and the adult entertainment stratosphere together to fight the good fight against breast cancer. “If there’s one thing every free-thinking person can probably agree on, it’s that we all like boobs,” proclaimed Intense Management owner Brandt Stebbons. “What better way to honor those iconic appendages than to bring people together and hold a benefit for breast cancer awareness?” Not forgetting the inherent nature of Fetish Nation’s roots as a side show of salacious delights, Boobie Ball also promises to be a star-studded evening that caters to both vanilla and spumoni-flavored tastes, with performances by songstress Brooke Wilkes, burlesque darling Sin Fisted and special guest DJ Terror.Chic. Among the adult performers scheduled to attend are Angelina Valentine, Misty Stone, Payton Leigh, Tessa Taylor, Cherry Ferretti, Nyomi Banxxx and Alexis Amore. Wane and Stebbins will be appearing on Playboy Radio’s Night Calls, hosted by Christy Canyon and Nicki Hunter, Tuesday, March 30 at 4:15 p.m. (PST) to discuss Fetish Nation’s Boobie Ball and their individual projects for 2010. Call (877) 205-9796, to speak with Wane and Stebbins live, in studio. The National Cancer Institute estimates that a woman in the United States has a 1 in 8 chance of developing invasive breast cancer during her lifetime. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the U.S, after lung cancer. Approximately 40,170 women and 440 men in the U.S. were predicted to die from the disease in 2009. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for U.S. women between the ages of 20 and 59, and the leading cause of cancer death for women worldwide, according to Stop Breast Cancer. The official media sponsor for the Fetish Nation Boobie Ball is SinningInLA.com, where music, culture and sex come together in the most delightful way. A VIP Milk Bar and silent auction are sponsored by Kink Ball. The entire profits from entry tickets and sponsorship donations for this event are going directly to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

European Union Says Arcade Booths Aren't 'Value-Added'

d130dc53957b8ce373bc4c0c251c32c1

UK lapdancers also hit with increased taxes LUXEMBOURG—Despite protests from the Beate Uhse chain of adult bookstores, the European Court of Justice has ruled that preview booths (better know in the U.S. as arcade booths), which allow patrons to see portions of adult movies before they buy them, are not considered to be "cinemas," and therefore do not meet the "cultural" exception from the Union's highest rate of Value Added Tax (VAT). According to an article in Business Week, Erotic Center BVBA, a Belgian sex shop currently owned by the Beate Uhse chain, argued that its coin-operated booths qualified for the reduced 6 percent rate of VAT, just like other venues such as theaters, concert halls and movie theaters, instead of the standard rate of 21 percent. The Sixth Directive of the European Economic Community requires all European Union member countries to charge a standard VAT rate for both products and services, but for certain categories, they're allowed to apply one of two reduced rates. Such categories—in this case the EEC's Category 7—include admissions to shows, theatres, circuses, fairs, amusement parks, concerts, museums, zoos, cinemas, exhibitions and similar cultural events and facilities, and reception of broadcasting services. However, in 2004, European tax authorities carried out an audit on Erotic Center and ruled that it had incorrectly applied a VAT of 6 percent to income from the preview booths, and charged the company EUR 48,454.36 (US$65,317.07) for the underpayment as well as a EUR 4,840 (US$6,524.09) fine. Erotic Center appealed the decision, and the European Court of Justice rendered its opinion on March 18 of this year. "[T]he various events and facilities listed in the first paragraph of Category 7 in Annex H to the Sixth Directive have in particular the common feature that they are available to the public on prior payment of an admission fee giving all those who pay it the right collectively to enjoy the cultural and entertainment services characteristic of those events and facilities," the Court ruled. "It follows from the above that the concept of admissions to a cinema within the meaning of the first paragraph of Category 7 in Annex H to the Sixth Directive cannot, in light of the usual meaning of that term and the context of the provision within which it is included, be interpreted as meaning that it covers the payment made by a customer so as to be able to watch on his own one or more films, or extracts from films, in private cubicles such as those in issue in the main proceedings." The ruling will apply to all members of the European Union, but whether other entities will be forced to pay additional taxes and/or fines based on their preview booth incomes remains to be seen. It is also unclear How the increased VAT rate will be incorporated into the booths' vending operations. In another tax-related ruling, the income earned by freelance lap dancers in the United Kingdom is now subject to a 17.5 percent … [Read more...]

Barack Obama rallies forces on visit to Afghanistan

47550409_009030806-1

President Obama: "This is not simply an American mission" Barack Obama has told US forces on his first visit to Afghanistan as US president that they are there to help Afghans to forge a "hard-won peace". Addressing soldiers and civilians at Bagram air base near Kabul, he thanked them for their service and said they would prevail against their enemies. They were there, he said, to "keep America safe and secure". On a trip lasting just a few hours, he met Afghan President Hamid Karzai and stressed the need to tackle corruption. Mr Obama said he wanted to see progress continue on Afghan efforts to fight against drug-trafficking. Mr Karzai will visit the US in May for talks, it was announced. MARDELL'S AMERICA Mark Mardell His first presidential visit to Afghanistan aims to convince people his stance is what patriotism really looks like Mark Mardell BBC North America editor Read Mark's thoughts in full In December, Barack Obama ordered the deployment of an extra 30,000 US troops to Afghanistan. Only a few thousand of the extra forces have arrived so far, with most expected to be in place by the summer. Shortly after his speech to the troops, the US president, who is travelling on his Air Force One jet, left the country. 'Thank you' US troops make up the majority of the Nato-led coalition force in Afghanistan. Speaking to the large indoors gathering at Bagram, Mr Obama said: "There is no visit that I consider more important than this visit I am making now. AT THE SCENE Lyse Doucet in Kabul Lyse Doucet, BBC News, Kabul Mr Obama came here as senator in 2008, when he was very critical of the Afghan leadership. When he came into the White House, the big question was, when would he feel the moment was right to make his second visit? President Hamid Karzai has been waiting since his controversial re-election last year for an invitation to visit the White House. Only yesterday, I heard his aides complaining about the president not being asked, and asking if this cast some shadow over the relationship. So there is no mistaking the important symbolism of a visit that is going to send a strong message of support for Mr Karzai. Mr Obama made it clear he was here to back Mr Karzai and the Afghan people, but also to thank the tens of thousands of US troops in Afghanistan for their sacrifices made. Send us your comments "My main job here today is to say thank you on behalf of the entire American people." He added: "The Afghans have suffered for decades, decades of war, but we are here to help Afghans forge a hard-won peace... and we want to build a lasting partnership founded upon mutual interest and mutual respect." Mr Obama said America had not chosen the war, and had not sought to meddle in Afghan affairs or expand its influence. It had, he said, been "attacked viciously on 9/11", and al-Qaeda leaders and their Taliban allies were still in the region and had to be defeated. The US aimed to deny al-Qaeda a safe haven and reverse the Taliban's … [Read more...]

Female suicide bombers in Moscow subway attacks

Moscow metro explosions STORY HIGHLIGHTS * Female bombers detonated explosions in Moscow subway stations, officials say * 38 people killed, 65 wounded, government ministry reports * First blast occurred near the Kremlin and the nation's intelligence service * Web site associated with Chechen separatists claims responsibility for attacks Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- Female suicide bombers detonated explosions that rocked two subway stations in central Moscow during rush hour on Monday morning, killing at least 38 people, officials said. "It was a terrorist act carried out by the female suicide bombers," said Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, citing Russia's intelligence agency, the Federal Security Service. "They were specifically timed -- for ... the train was nearing the station -- to make the most damage. "The blast was caused by 300 to 400 grams of explosives," he said. Forensic teams were combing wreckage from the underground blasts for clues. "Our preliminary assessment is that this act of terror was committed by a terrorist group from the North Caucasus region," said Alexander Bortnikov of the Federal Security Service, in reference to the investigation at one of the blast sites. "We consider this the most likely scenario, based on investigations conducted at the site of the blast.

Something for everyone at 2010 Final Four

ncb_g_butler11_576

By EDDIE PELLS (AP) – 4 hours ago There's a favorite in Duke, a little guy in Butler, a team returning to the big-time in West Virginia and a regular hardly anyone figured would get so far this season in Michigan State. One of the most unpredictable NCAA tournaments in recent history served up four distinctly different stories for the Final Four. Butler, enrollment 4,500, plays in the gym where they filmed the basketball classic "Hoosiers" and is making its first Final Four appearance. The Bulldogs play Michigan State on Saturday, which is making its sixth and perhaps most unexpected trip in the past 12 years. The other game features West Virginia, making its first appearance since 1959, against the Duke Blue Devils, who hadn't made it since 2004 — a long time by their standards. "It's not about the moments that I've been in, it's the moment that your players put you in right now," said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, making his 11th Final Four appearance. The Blue Devils (33-5), 78-71 winners over Baylor on Sunday, are the only No. 1 seed to make the Final Four, and as such, are the early 3-2 favorite to win it all. Returning after a much longer time away are West Virginia and coach Bob Huggins, who made it in 1992 when he coached Cincinnati. Since then, he's been on a coaching odyssey that has included trouble with the NCAA, a heart attack and a one-year stop at Kansas State before he returned to his alma mater in Morgantown. Through it all, he has done a lot of winning. The latest was Saturday's 73-66 upset over No. 1 Kentucky in the East Regional that put the Mountaineers (31-6) in the Final Four for the first time since guard Jerry West was their biggest star. Huggins wants his team thinking about making it to Monday night's final, and winning there, as well. "I talked to them about trying to be special," he said. "If we can somehow find a way to win a couple more, that will be really special." Although Duke-West Virginia is a typical 1 vs. 2 matchup, the Michigan State-Butler game pits two No. 5 seeds, the first time that's ever happened. The lopsided Final Four bracket is sure to reintroduce the long-debated idea of reseeding the teams once they reach the semifinals. But the idea of two No. 5s also reminds America of why it loves March Madness — because unexpected underdogs can make a run and have their day. This was not considered a banner year for Michigan State (28-8), but there the Spartans were Sunday, defeating Tennessee 70-69 to win the Midwest Regional despite the loss of one of their top players, Kalin Lucas, who tore his Achilles' tendon last week. "I talked to them this morning about separating themselves," Spartans coach Tom Izzo said. "We've gone through a lot of things this year, not as bad as sometimes portrayed, and yet not as smooth as some years that we've had." They still have the core of the team that made the national final last year in an inspiring run that ended close to home, in Detroit, with a blowout … [Read more...]

Why Women Don't Like Shaving

072f16f8ee08cfc44a08f5f52c669e2d

Anyone who has watched ‘70s porn knows that the standards of genital grooming have changed drastically over the years. Back in the day, a thick bush of hair between a woman’s legs was not off-putting and may have, in fact, been desirable to many. These days, in the world of pornography, shaved is the name of the game and women with natural pubic hair are generally featured in fetish movies only. Of course, the porn world is not a direct reflection of the practices of the average person, but there are certainly more men who prefer no hair than men who like their women bushy. Unfortunately, the number of women who enjoy being clean-shaven doesn’t quite match up to the amount of men who prefer that they be that way. Just like when we explained Why Your Girlfriend Doesn’t Watch Porn, AM continues in our ongoing effort to help you understand the ways of women by aiming to explain why your girlfriend won’t shave. So before you insist that your girlfriend go hairless, consider the following reasons why she may be hesitant to do so. It’s painful to remove A woman seeking to achieve a hairless look has a few options: She can shave, wax or use chemical depilatories. Shaving is a fairly straightforward process, but there are some drawbacks -- perhaps the most significant of which is the chance of cutting herself in a very sensitive area. You know how annoying a nick on the face or neck can be, so you can just imagine how bad it would be to cut yourself in a much more delicate and nerve-packed region. The pain potential of waxing the genital area should not even have to be explained. In theory, chemical depilatories are a great idea: applying a substance that dissolves hair and easily washes away. Trouble is, these products can be brutal on sensitive skin and the smell can be outrageously bad. It’s painful to grow back A freshly shaven genital area can feel great, but unfortunately the fabulous feeling doesn’t last long. As soon as the hair starts growing back, a woman is faced with two options: either continue to shave it nearly every day to maintain the smoothness (which can result in ingrown hairs, razor burn and other unpleasant conditions), or let it grow in and suffer through the uncomfortable stubble phase. Read on for more reasons why women don't like shaving... It’s time-consuming No matter which hair removal option a woman chooses, the process is annoyingly time-consuming. All three options have to be done incredibly carefully to avoid painful consequences. Even if she goes to a professional for a wax, she still has to set time aside to attend the appointment. It’s expensive A bikini wax can cost anywhere from $25 to over $100, depending on where it’s done and how much is taken off. Shaving creams, razors and other hair removal products aren’t cheap either and women already use them often for underarm and leg hair removal. All of these costs add up over time, making shaving her private area just one more expense to add to … [Read more...]

Porn Moves You Should Never Use

172d9e20a7c50d2884accbb5a0a89d79

Unfortunately for their female partners, many young men these days learn what to do in the bedroom by watching pornography. Let’s be clear about this right off the bat: Porn stars are not real people. What looks like a great idea on video may not translate well into a real-life sexual encounter with your girlfriend. There are some common porn moves you should never use in real life, and we've decided it's time we let you know what they were -- just in case you get any bright ideas later on tonight. The Dick Slap Male porn stars seem to have a compulsive need to slap their members against things. One possible explanation for the porn actor grabbing his shaft and banging it against a woman’s butt, breasts or face is that it helps him stay hard; essentially, acting as his own "fluffer" during the scene. Perhaps it could also be a method of degrading his partner by slapping her in the face with his powerful man member. No matter the reasoning behind it, this is a porn move you should never use in real life -- at least not without due warning and the right partner. If you’re having trouble staying hard, give yourself a few strokes with your hand or, better yet, ask her to help you out with her mouth. The Facial In porn movies, the most important scene is the one that contains the “money shot.” The moviemakers know their viewers want to see the moment of orgasm, and they usually want to see it all over the woman’s back, butt, chest or face. First of all, you should never, ever ejaculate anywhere on your partner without giving her prior warning. Also, the average girl does not like ejaculate on her face -- back, butt and breasts, fine. However, getting seminal fluid in the eye is not a good feeling, and it takes forever to get it out of her hair, so be considerate and make sure this is a porn move you never use in real life. The Piledriver The Piledriver is a sexual position named after a wrestling move, which should be your first clue that it a position best left to porn stars. The Piledriver is performed by the woman dropping herself headfirst off the edge of the bed/couch, then supporting herself on the ground on her neck and shoulders, with her feet up in the air. The man then stands over her and, pointing his penis down, enters her. This position cannot in any way, shape or form, be remotely comfortable for the woman and it’s probably not the best for you either. Not many men have penises that naturally bend that way, and one wrong thrust could result in some serious pain in a very sensitive area. We have a few more porn moves you should never use in real life... Deep Throat Porn actors like to get their entire penises as far down the throats of their costars as they possibly can. The trend gained popularity with the '60s classic Deep Throat. In that stellar piece of porn history the main female character discovered that her clitoris was at the back of her throat, making her a medical anomaly and the most enthusiastic fellatio performer … [Read more...]
