The Sex Position Game

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Let’s spice up our Mondays with a little game. Check back every week for your weekly challenge!

istock_000000486125small.jpgThis week’s challenge? Let’s see how many difference sexual positions we can name.

Missionary…Doggy…How about something a bit more adventurous?

If you’ve ever flipped through an issue of the Kama Sutra while you thought no one was looking at Barnes & Noble, you probably had to laugh a bit at all of the options you’ve never used. It takes a really flexible, up-for-anything couple to work through all the sex positions out there. I like to think of myself as a goddess in bed, but who has the muscle mass needed for some of those crazy positions out there?!?!

In any case, this week I’m promoting freeing your spirit in the bedroom! So, help me out. I’m looking for 15 sexual positions that almost anyone can do (like, none where one partner has to hold the other while he stands on one foot and screws her with his 17-inch penis…). Anything else goes!

As always, the “prize” is an ode to the best answer and a sexy picture of ME! Last week, we didn’t do so well with the MB game, so let’s make up for it this week! Here are the official rules:

1. Only ONE answer per person. If you list more than one, I’ll edit your comment to only include the first one.
2. Missionary, doggy, or typical girl-on-top. Those three are way too common.
3. It has to be vaginal penetration. Oral doesn’t count. Neither does anal (although most vaginal can also be anal).
4. You must include a link to instructions or a picture with your answer. We have to be able to try it out!

Remember, just one - that means we need fourteen people to leave a comment to win (I’ll get ya started with the first one below). So, tell your roommate, tell your significant other, tell your mom (well, ok, maybe don’t tell your mom). The game ends on Friday at midnight EST, so get crackin’!

Here is my entry:

Sexy Celebrity of the Week: Amanda Bynes

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Amanda_Bynes_4.jpgWasn’t Amanda Bynes just that annoying Nickelodeon girl? I blinked, and she suddenly grew up, it seems. Grew up hot. I always thought she was a bit awkward-looking, but she definitely grew into her own skin, and today, Miss Bynes is smokin’.

And she’s smoking in a classy sort of way. Recent, I caught Amanda’s appearance on the Rachael Ray show, and I have to say that she’s really one of the most genuine young celebs out there. Instead of flashing her vag and the popular parties, she acts with a bit of decorum and avoids the paps. If Paris, Britney, and Lindsey are the cheerleaders sitting at the “cool girl” table in the high school cafeteria, Amanda is the passed-by beauty that hands out with the drama freaks. And hey, that’s ok. The cool kids are overrated.

She’s multi-talented too. In addition to being smart, classy, and beautiful, this girl can really act. Her work today has me imagining her in larger roles, and really milking Hollywood for all it has to offer. On top of that, Amanda recently launched her own clothing line, Dear, which has cute, affordable options for teens and young adults. Sweet.

So what makes Amanda sexiest? Her charming personality? Her commitment to her work? Her self respect? Yes, yes, yes…and her white hotness. Seriously. Look at the girl. She’s got that perfect body that isn’t a result of anorexia, gorgeous blond hair, and huge puppy-dog eyes. Really, what more could you want?

But ok, ok, I’ve gushed enough. What to you think of Amanda Bynes? Is she just cute or is she sexy enough to be this week’s sexy celebrity of the week? (I think you know my answer…)

Shadows

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

I saw them, shadows behind the curtains, curtains closed for the first time since…God, who knows when. Her shadow was sharp and dark - the girl next door must have been standing nearer to the curtain. His shadow was soft and gray on the bed. His shadow stood and walked toward her shadow, undressed her shadow, pulled her shadow close to him. And then their shadows were one.

254265_silhouette_series_3.jpgThe girl next door wasn’t stupid. She knew that I would watch her and J* fucking from my own bedroom window. She got off on it And yet, she had stomped into the bedroom earlier in the day and threw the curtains closed. As the sun set, I began to see there shadows, fucking, showering, caressing, and fucking again. And again.

Now, I couldn’t even tell from their shadows that they were at it again. Not fucking this time, though. This time was different. It was slow, gentle, caring. J* wasn’t dominating her like usual. He wasn’t forcing his cock into ass or throat-fucking her. He wasn’t even spanking or pulling her hair. He was just loving her, loving every inch of her body with his tongue and his hands. J* wasn’t just her lover; he was in love with her. Her, not us.

The honey-colored light draped their shadows and I closed my own curtain as well. I picked up my cell phone.

“Hello?”

“Hey.”

“Oh, wow, hey. What’s up, sweetheart?”

“Just wanted to talk. Just feeling blue.”

“Yeah? You want me to come over?”

“Yeah.”

And that’s how I found myself in bed with him again - a tall, dark-haired boy from my past who really, truly wanted to love me. Our legs tangled and our fingers laced, I gently sucked his bottom lip, playfully pulling with my teeth. He had one hand on my hip and carefully ran his fingers through my hair.

“I would love you, you know.”

When it’s love, and not just fucking, we don’t really have a say. Why do we love who we love and not the people who love us? Why, after a long day, does one person make us smile while another person is just a good time? Why do we deny ourselves love for sex? And why does it hurt so much? Love is really just shadows on the wall after all, not something tangible.

“I know,” I breathed, scratching my nails lightly down his back, as he liked. I was comfortable in his arms, safe. I began to grind against him, not a hard grind, just enough to really feel him. In a moment, he was inside of me, both of us gasping in relief and euphoria.

He didn’t make me forget that next door, J* was loving her, but he did make me orgasm three times.

And that counts for something, right? How many orgasms does it take to fall in love?

Sexy Celebrity of the Week: Joss Stone

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

Joss_Stone_4.jpgAdorable. Intriguing. Hot. There’s no shortage of beautiful words that can describe Joss Stone’s sexy, sultry look.

On top of that, she’s actually talented. An international star, Joss Stone isn’t quite as popular in the United States as in Europe, but…well…she should be.

As far as international artists go, it can really be hit or miss. I mean, Europe gave us the Beatles, but they also gave Mika. Personally, I think Miss Stone is more on the Beatles end of the spectrum.

So how do you feel about Joss Stone? Vote now!

Is Domination a Form of Abuse?

Friday, October 5th, 2007

iStock_000002566067XSmall.jpgThis week, Between the Sheets is celebrating and end to sexual abuse by promoting sexual abuse awareness. There are many types of sexual abuse, but the trickiest subject of all, in my opinion, is domination. Is consensual domination a form of sexual abuse?

It doesn’t have to be, but it can be. The mind plays tricks on us sometimes and we tell ourselves that we’re happy when, in reality, we’re trapped by someone who says that he/she loves us. Not all dom/sub relationships are like that. Some are, but not all. However, as a sex blogger, I get a lot questions about the dynamics of any kind of BDSM relationship. I’m not a slave or master myself, so I interviewed one of my favorite bloggers about the topic. She’d like to remain anonymous, but I hope her answers can help shed a bit of light on domination.

Between the Sheets: We’ll start off with the simple questions: How long have you know your Master? Have you always been a slave? What’s your relationship like?

slave: i met my current Master at a BDSM club when i was slave to someone else. So, He wasn’t always my Master, but i was always a slave when i knew Him. Our relationship is very dynamic, but a bit different from some other couples i’ve met. We don’t usually take the “ownership” idea out of the sexual realm. As His slave, i do ask permission for just about everything, but he doesn’t have me do a lot in the way of humiliation. i can’t make my own choices. It’s mostly about submitting to Him sexually.

Wow, so you dumped a Master for a new Master?

Well, i wouldn’t say “dumped.” It was a mutual thing. My ex-Master and i didn’t see one another much (it was a long distance relationship - we met on the Internet), and at the time, i couldn’t even afford high-speed Internet, so sending pictures was hard. i was unhappy and so was He, because we both wanted something more, so i moved on with His blessing.

Did you have to ask permission to leave the relationship?

You know, i did…but i wouldn’t have had to. That’s the thing about a domination relationship. He was my Master, but at the same time i was my own person. Being a slave doesn’t make me an animal or something. It’s always consensual.

That’s pretty important, isn’t it?

Yes. i don’t think a dom/sub relationship can ever be considered successful unless the slave wants to be her (or his) Master’s slave. If a slave wants to break away, that would mean he/she isn’t a slave any longer. And anyone who isn’t a slave has legal rights.

You sounds like you know what you’re talking about.

Kind of. A friend of mine was in a situations as a slave where her Master was blatantly disrespectful of her in front of her son. That’s crossing the line. You don’t call your slave a cunt in front of a seven-year-old, even if she is a cunt. He would also ask her to do stuff, playing the Master card all the time. We’re not talking about sending naked pictures, we’re talking about buying him shit. Beyond that, he crossed the line in the bedroom too. One time, he met a stranger in the bar, tied her up, and had him fuck her without a condom. The mystery man gave her herpes. i’m actually glad that’s all he gave her. It could have been a scarier situation. But at least she got out, with some help from the police.

Why did she stay with him?

Why does anyone ever stay with anyone abusive? We pretend that we’re happy, and because there are good times, we overlook the bad. As a slave, that’s even harder for me. i have to always ask myself, “Is this something i want to do to make my Master happy or is this making me miserable?” Making my Master happy makes me happy! If it didn’t, though, i would think it would be time to move on. A dom/sub CAN BE ABUSIVE.

Thanks for the interview. Anything you want to add?

Just for everyone out there in a dom/sub relationship - don’t forget about yourself. It’s still a relationship and you’re still a person. you have the right to love and be loved. You have the right to be happy and say that you want out.

An Affair with the Wind

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Please Note: The below story is one from the past, not a recent run-in. Please check out the other posts this week to help celebrate Between the Sheets’ Sexual Abuse Awareness Week

bar.jpgThe first thing I had noticed about him was his smell as I walked past to sit on the other end of the bar. The small was unmistakable - cigarettes and confidence. Come home with me, I whispered with my eyes. He looked me up and down slowly, not hiding his appetite, as I trailed a finger up my leg to make my short skirt even shorter. I sipped the martini he had bought me from across the room. The loud bar seemed quite in his gaze.

My cell phone buzzed angrily in my purse, and I flipped it open to read the glaring words from my boyfriend. “RU Being Naughty?”

“Very.” I texted back in reply. I turned my phone off, slipping it back into my purse, and stood up, his eyes watching my every move. I paid my tab and walked toward the exit, pausing only to whisper in his ear, “You look like a man who likes to be in charge.” I handed him a napkin with my address, walked out, and hailed a taxi.

I had the driver take me to the river, where I looked out across the water while the wind blew my skirt. I wasn’t wearing panties, and the wind, my lover, as already teasing me, making me wet. It was night time in the city and I was walking home alone, but I lived in a good neighborhood. Home wasn’t more than a few blocks away, and I wasn’t afraid. The wind cradle me and kept me safe while I lusted for its love.

My townhouse was dark, and I slipped in quietly so as not to wake my neighbor’s dog. The floorboards creaked, and I froze. The man from the bar sprung from the shadows, using one hand to muffle my cries while using the other hand to yank my skirt to my knees.

Sexual History: A New Kind of Sexual Abuse

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

As a sex blog writer dabbling in dom/sub themes from time to time, I get all of the common questions and concerns:

“How can you promote abuse like this?”

“Don’t you think that subs are being emotionally abused?”

“Why are you advocating for abusive relationships?”

“Don’t you care about the women being abused every day?”

Yes, I think some dom/sub relationships are unhealthy. Some, not all. However, today, as part of Between the Sheet’s Sexual Abuse Awareness Week, I’d like to talk a little bit about a different kind of sexual abuse, one that I myself have experienced: the sexual history lie.

I like sex. I like a lot of sex. And, while right now my sexual experiences are limited to “one at a time” (my own choice), I’ve gone through periods in my life where I had multiple sexual partners. I’ve made some mistakes (haven’t we all), but in general, safety first, always. I’m a big advocate of “Until you know where that’s been, don’t put it anywhere risky.” In other words, if you’re going to play a bit (yay!), take some time to learn about the sexual history of your partner. After all, if they’ve been sleeping with crack addicts this past week and haven’t been tested, you probably don’t want any of that gunk passed along to your waterworks. There’s still a lot of nasties out there. AIDS is not gone.

808214_cut_the_crap_2.jpgI’m one of those in-your-face people, and before I sleep with someone, I want to know how many other partners they’ve had, when they’ve last been tested, and if they think they could be at risk. And I’ll tell you straight to your face - no bullshit. I’m up for a good, good, GOOD time, but only if you’re clean.

So the sexual abuse that worries me the most is the silent killer: People lying about their sexual history. I’m not talking about fudging the numbers a little to leave out that one-night stand in high school or keeping the specifics under wraps. I’m talking about people who will look you in the eye and tell you they’re clean when they’re not, or tell you they’ve only been with one or two other people when they’ve really been with dozens. That scares me more than any dom/sub relationship in the world.

Like I said, I have personal experience with this. The liar was not only sleeping with EVERYONE (rather than the two people he told me he’d been with), but he was also *probably* using needles to shoot up various drugs. I say probably because I don’t know. I just can’t be sure what’s truth and what’s lies anymore.

This kind of lie has the potential to kill. No, he didn’t “make” me sleep with him, but he did make me think that I was sleeping with someone different. I would have never slept with someone who likes to share needles for recreational drugs, and it’s very probable that he was doing exactly that.

I’m one of the lucky ones. I survived, and I’m healthy. Unfortunately, millions of men and women around the world are in my situation, and not all of them make it. Most don’t press charges (many can’t because their lover disappears), and few speak about about this kind of abuse.

Today is The Great Mofo Delurk, which means that bloggers everywhere are asking readers to come out of the woodwork and actually leave a comment. So, I want to know who’s lurking. I know you’re out there! Have you ever lied about your sexual history? (Don’t worry, you can leave an anonymous comment.) Has anyone ever lied to you?

The Penis Game Winner, part 2

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Lips.jpg

I’m proud to announce that this week’s Penis Game winner was Dana with the entry “Russel the Love Muscle. As promised, the above is a sexy picture of me (ala red lipstick and black eyeliner for the lettering–and yes that really is me!). Perhaps as we continue playing our little games, you’ll get to see more, better pictures of me!

Oh, and here’s a little something I wrote just for Dana. This one goes out to you *blows kisses*.

Ode to Dana and “Russel the Love Muscle”

I’m impressed with how well you all hustled,
And the winner makes my bedsheets all tusseled.
50 penis-names was fun,
Our friend Dana has won,
Who among us has not be love-muscled?

To check out all of the awesome entries for “The Penis Game,” go here.

This week, Between the Sheets is doing a special week dedicated to Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence, so there’s no game right now. However, these are topics about which I feel extremely passionate, and I hope you do too. Please stop back throughout the week to read some inspiring stories, great debates, and startling statistics. The Between the Sheets weekly games will resume on Monday, October 8!

In any case, thanks for all who played the penis game! Feel free to continue leaving your answers at the post linked above, and congratulations to Dana, for the answer that made me giggle the most! My apologies for not announcing the winner sooner. I still can’t find the connector cord…I had to email pictures from my phone!
