Kanye West and Amber Rose on Who Likes Anal Play

Kanye West and Amber Rose Disagree on Who Likes Anal Play

Let’s be honest, we all have that one not-so-acceptable thing the does it for us in bed. Rumor has (or had) it that for Kanye West, it’s pegging. This is basically when a woman performs anal intercourse on her partner. It may not be full out sex — probably with a finger playing around to stimulate the prostrate or it might be total penetration with a sex toy.

Kanye West’s ex, Amber Rose, decided to make it known on twitter that he likes to have a finger up there once in a while. She revealed this after he indirectly insulted her while arguing with her child’s father, Wiz Khalifa. Amber posted on twitter, “Are u mad I’m not around to play in ur asshole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch”.

Now, we understand that it can be embarrassing to have someone talk about your sex life in public, but Kanye West came out really defensive to say that he has never been involved in any sexual act that involved his anal region. Kanye’s reply was, “Exes can be mad but just so you know I never let them play with my ass. I don’t do that… I stay away from that area all together”. Reminds me of Shaggy, “Say it wasn’t you”.

Now Kanye, what so wrong about some anal stimulation? Even your buds do a little anal play from time to time.

Kanye West crawfishes about anal play with Amber Rose

For people who are open minded sexually, it is confusing to see what is so scandalous about a man exploring other sides of his sexual needs. Sadly, a lot of men still view this as embarrassing. One reason is that they are too afraid of the homophobia that will come with talking about it with their bros (even for straight bros).  

I mean you guys talk about everything else right? It’s normal for a guy to be explicit when talking about his sex life with his friends; most times, he wants to impress them. Most men who enjoy pegging will not admit this to anyone – and hope their ex won’t either. But I guess the thought of macho man Kanye West admitting to be the anal play receiver was a little too much.

Another reason is the thought of losing ‘control’ especially when your partner is someone who is going to be in your life for a long time. The thought of being the receptive partner to anything might discourage them. This means that a lot of men go through their lives with hidden sex fantasies that they never get to play out, even though their partner would have been willing.

Thankfully, the world is becoming more open minded and people are learning to embrace sexual fetishes, especially if you have a few of your own.

If you’ve been thinking about asking your partner to peg you, here are a few tips to make it mind blowing for you:

  • Share your needs with your partner, no round table discussion needed; make it dirty talk- compelling dirty talk.
  • Make sure you have enough lube at hand, you need everything to be as smooth and painless as possible.
  • Clean yourself out as much as you can (not many people like a hidden surprise). If you want to make sure you are totally clean, you can give yourself an enema. Use plain or mildly warm water and remember to give your body an hour to recover before sexy time.
  • You and your partner should go sex toy shopping together. You may think a finger is enough, and then discover half way through sex that you want something more, and there’s nothing to give you. Also, shopping for a sex toy or pegging strap ons would give her more insight on what you like.  Bananas are not a good idea. 
  • Up to now, nothing described here is pegging – it is only “finger or toy in the ass”.  True pegging involves your partner donning a strap-on penis that will be used to penetrate your ass the same way you penetrate your partner.  But don’t worry, there are many sizes available, and this is one instance where smaller might be better!

Note: if you are a newbie at anal play, try taking it slow in the beginning. Give yourself enough time to relax and try avoiding getting tense easily. Tell your partner what you want (especially if they are new to it too), this way they don’t have to fumble around, with your guidance they can give you amazing orgasms.

Bi and Gay Sex According to Doritos

Bi and Gay Sex According to Doritos

Sex sells is one of the oldest adages of advertising, and companies found ways to integrate sex into their marketing plans.  One of my favorites was Carl’s Jr., who had the hottest girls showing us that nothing is better than some good meat. 

Then Carl’s Jr. got neutered and was no longer allowed to play in the adult sandbox — and just like that, sex was gone. At least we still have Hooters.

Maybe we still have Hooter’s because they (surprisingly) had enough balls to fight against the government who tried to make them hire men.

I wonder if the new dic-staraunt “Tallywackers” will be forced to hire women? Is a penis required? I need another shot just imagining the implications of gender and gender related equipment required.

As previous articles have noted, I live under a rock and have no money, so I unfortunately never notice the marketing and advertisements aimed at the bi and gay community.  In my defense, I don’t have cable.

For fun, I was reading about Dr Pepper’s foray into the deep end of the bi and gay side of Marketing 101 and was shocked at how hard they went after the market (maybe “hard” was the wrong word to use).

The list of companies with LGBTQ ads is astounding

The fun reading turned into research, and I discovered Burger King and McDonald’s had stuck more than their toe in the water with various ads, rainbow wraps, and other gay-themed advertising.  This was getting interesting and I was getting fixated, and not just because I like a nice set of buns.

That brought me to my latest find … other huge companies pandering … ok, well not pandering, but “marketing” specifically toward the bi/gay/lesbian community.  Not only does sex sell, but bi and gay sex appears to sell even better.

Doritos, the best snack ever invented except for the residue that makes touching paper a serious danger, started advertising LGBTQ+ friendly adds with rainbow colored Doritos.

The Skittles rainbow based advertising was popular with the community for showing their support, but naturally some disliked the move.

Apparently tasting the rainbow is only acceptable if done in candy form. Those who dislike such advertising obviously don’t just have a problem with the bi and gay community, they also clearly have a problem with brightly colored snacks.

I am happy to see big companies fighting homophobia

Bi and Gay Sex while eating Doritos just got much more fun

Homophobia in the modern era is getting ever more ridiculous and offensive. I would rather taste the rainbow any day of the week than deal with the out of touch old farts railing against “Doritos turning our gamers gay”, because, if we’re honest, there’s a short list of people who actually like Doritos, and they’re not the type to grab a sign and picket against a Pride parade.

This is good for Doritos, because not only did it give us a snack with pretty colors, it also gave the bi and gay community more moral high ground against their detractors.

Though marketing to the LGBTQ+ community might just be a blatant cash grab, it’s a cash grab that shows support for the community, however shallow that support may be. More than that, every time some cranky rednecks watching FOX grab their anti-gay frog signs to protest such a company, they prove just how out of touch they are and how in touch the companies are.

Having the support of such companies might not mean a whole lot considering the state of late-stage capitalism, but it does mean a lot when it comes to community support. For this, and because they are delicious, I can relate to AC/DC Doritos.

Safe Sex Doesn’t Mean Building a Penis Pipe Bomb

How to NOT avoid using a condom

There is a right way and a wrong way to perform safe sex. Apparently sex education is continuing to fail people, because there is an internet solution to safe sex that is so absurd, so bad, and so dangerous you’d be better off just going to the clinic afterward.

Apparently, some brilliant men decided the best way to prevent free-flowing semen from entering the glory hole of reproduction was to tape their hole closed.

Let that sink in. Actually, allow me to help.

Imagine you have a pipe. On one end of that pipe is a pump. On the other end of that pipe is an open exit for the contents of the pipe. You pump fluid through the pipe, out it goes. You seal off the other end, you have what is literally referred to as a pipe bomb.

Boom!

Congratulations internet, you found a way to create a penis pipe bomb. Not what I would call safe sex.  Need to add that to the list of reasons I don’t fly, I guess, since you can get it through TSA.

A similar issue comes up in the orgasm denial community as well, and apparently they were so busy edging they forgot to transmit the memo. So, as a public service announcement, I am morally obligated by the powers of Johnnie Walker to inform people to stop taping their dicks closed. This is how you create a pipe bomb. With your dick. Don’t do that.

I am a hero (in my own mind)!

There, I have single-handedly saved humanity from the horrors of the internet’s rampant stupidity. Praise me as your hero, build statues in my honor, and pay off my students loans. Oh, and buy me scotch, so that I may properly bask in the glow of my victory of promoting safe sex.

These are the sort of web-based revelations that leave me increasingly concerned for the welfare of the human race. Not only are we boiling our oceans, burning our koalas, and making burgers out of vegetables, now we have people who think the idea of creating a closed valve system in the human body is a good idea.

I’m guessing they’re related to the anti-vaxxers and people who think Paul McCartney has talent as a well. Just further proof of the continual downfall of human civilization.

Well, if nothing else, such imbecility weeds itself out of the gene pool when the idiot’s dick pipe bomb exploded and make it impossible to breed with someone equally stupid enough to consider tape to be a proper contraceptive. Maybe he’ll learn after the reconstructive surgery not to try using office supplies to solve medical issues.

So, to reiterate. Office supplies are for fixing your car, not your health.

Do not tape your dick shut so you don’t blow your load in some poor women’s unsuspecting hole. It doesn’t matter how you look at it – that is NOT what is meant by safe sex. 

Either cough up the money for a condom or ask if she’s on the pill. As much as I enjoy writing about the continued stupidity of humanity, the fact I keep having to do it is really, really annoying. I could be drinking and playing video games. Stop blowing up your dicks so I can play JRPG’s in peace. Thank you.

A$AP Rocky Sex Tape Scandal – What Does It Say About Us

A$AP Rocky Sex Tape Scandal

Sex tape releases are a rather common occurrence in the modern media age. A plethora of actors and others have found their most intimate moments revealed to the rabid hordes of the internet. Such incidents can stain a career as dirty laundry gets aired. About the only thing that could make it worse is if the people watching the leaked footage start mocking the sexual performance of the celebrity in question. Just ask A$AP Rocky.

A$AP Rocky, the rapper name of Rakim A. Mayers (I can understand the name change), found himself in the unenviable position of having a sex tape released and people remarking rather negatively on his performance in said video.

This is just the latest entry into a story of addiction, lust, ego, and fat stacks of cash. The rapper was identified in the video by his tattoos, although none were on Rocky, Jr.,, and the nearly 200,000 viewers were quick to remark on his lack of sexual acumen.

Considering back in the early days of the internet how fast the Paris Hilton sex tape spread, I consider that low viewership something of a double standard. Then again, when you’re a symbol of sexual energy and prowess like rapper are wont, perhaps the poor reviews have affected viewership. In that instance, A$AP Rocky might be wise to contact Roger Ebert for a more thorough review.

A$AP Rocky, the rapper name of Rakim A. Mayers

The torrid drama of sex and slander starts far before the leaked sex tape. As an added layer of irony, the rapper has professed to “combating” sex addiction since middle school. Let that sink in for a minute while I repeat it: SEX ADDICTION SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

After taking a long pull of tequila to help cope with that revelation, the rapper’s defensive reactions to his sexual prowess seem like a skewed priority.

Sex addition may get mocked, but it is a legitimate disorder. The idea of taking something as emotionally and physically satisfying as sex and reducing it to the equivalent of chain smoking Malboro’s after a hard day at the office is honestly rather disheartening. Not even the hard-living lifestyle and massive income can make up for such a hollow, unsatisfying sex life.

No wonder the man got so defensive about his performance. It’s not just a matter of his masculine pride, but a sticking point with an ongoing battle with a serious disorder. At least he can be proud that his problem wasn’t related to his name … the “A.S.A.P” part.

The tragic comedy of a released sex tape combined with the tragedy of addiction have come together to create the plot for a BET original movie. Or the rapper’s next music video.

A$AP Rocky is not handling the release well, lashing out at people who mock his performance in the video and hiring a lawyer to represent the allegedly under-performing member (Rocky, Jr., who hopefully also doesn’t use the “ASAP” moniker) in question.

ASAP Rocky, the rapper name of Rakim A. Mayers

Rather than lash out, you’d think the man would use this situation to garner sympathy and resolve for combating his addiction. Instead, he’s decided to take the defensive regarding his performance, with his lawyer openly stating those who have seen the video cannot remark on the rapper’s skills since they have not experienced said skills firsthand.

So far none of the women the rapper’s been physical with have come forward to corroborate or deny his lack of abilities as they appear in the sex video.

What this actually says about skills of A$AP Rocky is a mute point. The potential double standard of leaked sex footage, lack of respect for a man combating addiction, and the defensive reactions of a man whose pride has been wounded at the most visceral level, all make for a compelling narrative.

Somehow, when they’re all combined, it just turns into a farce.

Perhaps the real tragedy here is that no one can take rapper artists seriously anymore because this is the sort of shenanigans we’re used to from them. However it turns out, hopefully, A$AP Rocky’s game and sales recover.

If nothing else, he’s got good material for his next album and a possible movie deal.

Sex Questions & Answers

How Can My Husband Prevent Premature Ejaculation?

HOW TO PREVENT PREMATURE EJACULATION

What is premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is the most common condition that men go through. However, no matter how common it is, premature ejaculation is something that many men don’t like to talk about.

Premature ejaculation is thought to affect one in three men who are mostly between the ages of 18 till 59. It is also believed that almost every man goes through this condition at least once in their lifetime.

Premature Ejaculation is a condition when during intercourse, the process of ejaculation occurs earlier than a person or their partners would like. Previously it was considered to be a psychological condition.

However, scientists now believe that this is a combination of both psychological and behavioral issues that might be triggered due to several factors.

What causes premature ejaculation?

The causes of premature ejaculation are still uncertain, but certain factors are actually to blame.

  1. Psychological Factors
    1. Stress
    2. Performance Anxiety
    3. Issues in relationship
    4. Feeling of Guilt
  2. Biological Factors
    1. Fluctuation in hormone levels
    2. Abnormal thyroid functions
    3. Abnormality in reflex action of the ejaculatory system
    4. Nerve damage due to surgery

How to Prevent Premature Ejaculation

About 95% of men improve this condition by therapies and exercises and often do not require medications. However, it is still important to discuss with your doctor so that he may be able to treat the medical conditions that may be causing premature ejaculation.

Following are specific techniques that one can practice to improve this condition

  • The Stop-Start Technique

It is one of the oldest techniques that is considered to help a lot in premature ejaculation. As the name indicates, during sexual intercourse you should start moving, pause, give yourself a break, and repeat the cycle all over again.  

Also, it is important to discuss with your partner that when you stop, your partner must stop moving also – and give you time to slow down the rising feelings.

  • The Squeeze Method

Similar to the start and stop method, the squeeze method is also like its name. During the sexual intercourse, when you feel like you are about to ejaculate, you need to squeeze the penile region for an approximate time of 30 seconds.  This is, in effect, a Kegel exercise.  

  • Pelvic Exercises

The pelvic floor exercises also help in strengthening the muscles. One of the most popular exercises in such cases is the Kegel exercise.

The Kegel exercise is a simple exercise which involves tightening of the pelvic floor muscles and count till three, relax the muscles and count till three. Repeat this exercise several times a day.

  • Discuss With your Partner

If you are going through premature ejaculation, it is essential that you discuss this with your partner. Discuss your options and practice the methods mentioned above with patience and with the help of your partner.

As the methods might sometimes be frustrating and irritating, they need to know that this is temporary and is treatable.

Non Prescription Creams and Lotions -Desensitizers

There are many desensitizer creams available at LoveWorks. Desensitizers creams slightly reduce sensitivity in the penis, usually resulting in a man being able to delay ejaculation. Don’t worry — he will still feel everything and the numbness wears off, allowing him to ejaculate.

Our Best Seller is POWER PLUS DELAY CREME. We repeatedly sell Power Plus to repeat buyers in our stores who tell us that it works well for them. It is also a very reasonably priced cream considering the size of the container.

Apply 15-20 minutes before sex to allow the product to dry and begin working.

Conclusion Premature ejaculation is easily curable, if any of the methods mentioned do not work out for you, you can always consult your doctor who will prescribe medications to you that will aid the therapies mentioned above and help in counteracting the condition. Always remember that this is just a phase, and it will come to an end soon.

Sex Robots Are Coming – For Now We Have Sex Dolls

The sex robots are coming! But the sex dolls are here…

With the advent of the industrial revolution and automation came all kinds of imaginable benefits like easy work, efficient utilization of raw materials, mass production, and even shorter time for production; on the other hand, it also brought with it a kind of existential crisis, a form of anxiety that sex robots are coming will soon put workers off their jobs.

Although this replacement is far from complete, it has taken place in some spheres already. Generally, workers are still confident and relaxed about their job not being replaced soon, despite claims that “robots will replace human labor by 2030”.   Sex workers appear to be in some sort of trouble however.

Their anxiety can be understood if we consider the number of sex doll brothels that have sprung up in the last couple of years all over the world. One in Toronto, Aura Dolls charge about $120 per hour for sex dolls and an extra $90 for 30 minutes, to perform any kind of activity you want with six sex dolls, provided you don’t drill an extra hole on it (although one can’t help but wonder what the consequences may be for making an extra hole) or cut off any limbs (Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees followers not welcome).

Is there a job description for a “sex doll cleaner”?

The sex dolls are cleaned up and heavily sanitized between exercises and are kept ready for the next appointment.

Apart from the Aura Dolls in Toronto, there are many other sex doll brothels spread across the world in places like Barcelona, Turin and Moscow. These dolls are sometimes fondly (although inaccurately) referred to “sex robots” which is inaccurate because they do not possess the required level of AI to be referred to as robots.  Calling them “love dolls” is ok however. But the sex robots are coming is a true statement.

Look at this picture closely. What do you see?

Moves are also underway in Japan, to open a sex doll brothel that makes male sex dolls for threesomes given the demand from bisexual males.  Doesn’t that description give you pause to contemplate the visual of how that would work?

I wonder if the sex dolls must “line up” for the customers to decide which doll to choose? How degrading for these poor sex dolls, right?

Look at the picture on the right of sex dolls. Do you notice anything unusual?

Despite the emergence of sex doll brothels over the last couple of years, some places strongly fight against the idea mainly for moral reasons.

A Canadian company Kinky S Dolls, wanted to expand its business by setting up a branch in Houston, Texas but faced resistance from the Mayor of the city and the Christian anti-pornography and anti-sex trafficking groups.

Houston Chronicle Headline: “Sex Robots are Coming!” Not.

The mayor stated that “sex robots are coming” won’t be the headline of the Houston Chronicle if he can help it.

This is an irony because Houston is known to many as a sexual trade hub. A survey revealed that Houston houses more sex brothels than coffee shops. And they do have many Starbucks spots!

We will skip the fact that LoveWorks was the first adult store to open in the north of Houston, on the border to Montgomery County.  There are a few people still unhappy about the LoveWorks billboard, and stop in regularly to complain — but we will leave that to another post.

The sex doll disciples argue that the emergence of sex dolls will decrease the rate of sex trafficking in men but a city official thought otherwise.

Although there is no known law that prevents the construction of a sex robot brothel, the official appealed to the morality of the citizens by reason.

If a man can purchase a doll, he might want to purchase a real woman. WTF? Marijuana isn’t legal in Texas is it???

He mentioned that if a man can go out and buy a sex doll that agrees to all his sexual bidding, he might as well go out one day and want to purchase a real woman and that the advent of sex dolls will increase the tendency of men to be more violent during sex given that the dolls never say no.  Wow.

movie ticket sex robots are coming to see frozen 2 at the local adult store

He also stated that one of the downsides of pornography is that it makes men withdrawn from human relationships and that this withdrawal will be worse if they have sex dolls that can follow them to the mall, movies etc.

man carrying his sex doll because the sex robots are coming to the sex store nearest me

Yeah.  I will hold my breath waiting for the day that guys will take their dressed-up love doll and pay movie-cinema prices (almost $10USD now!) for someone who isn’t going to watch the movie.  (See what I know? Look at the receipt on the left — $11.50USD per person.

Or better, imagine how Paul Blart:Mall Cop is going to react to a guy walking in the mall carrying their love doll? 

Maybe he will bring his love doll to Starbucks?

Or sitting at Starbucks?  He would be forced to buy a iced white chocolate mocha delight or something similar for his doll, which would probably cost as much as the movie, because you can’t sit in a Starbucks if you don’t buy anything. Oh wait, I forgot, Starbucks says anyone can sit in their restaurants and use the toilets even if you don’t buy anything. I take it all back — he CAN take his sex doll to Starbucks. Wouldn’t that be a viral photo!

Come on now, get real.

Unless of course he wants his sex dolls to see the move “The Sex Robots are coming”, which, by the way, is a real movie.

He encouraged citizens to fight against this form of 3D pornography. “Think of what will happen in a world where dolls are openly purchased making the culture of female prostitution visible and normal.”

3D pornography. That is a new term for me. Even Madam Google wasn’t any help — leading my to sites that specialize in 3D Printing. Did the Mayor of Houston just coin a new SEX PHRASE! Leave it to Houston!!

The sex doll brothels are still far from being perceived as normal. A sex worker, Allissa, in Nevada – one of the cities where prostitution is legal but highly regulated, revealed that one of the serious threats will be the ability of the sex dolls company to use open billboard advertisements.

“… a sex doll … doesn’t provide consent …”

She raised the same concern that usage of a sex doll that doesn’t provide consent and has no limitations, and will only enforce the idea in a client’s mind that a lack of limitation is normal.

Consent.  People really are talking about consent – of a non-human thing.  What is next?  Rights for sex robots?  Emancipation? 

If dogs could "consent", is this what the dog print on the document would look like?
If dogs could “consent”, is this what the dog print on the document would look like?

When breeders masturbate a dog or horse in order to capture the semen for breeding, who gives consent? Is there a document with a paw print on it? Who verified that the animal wasn’t a minor?

If breeders can masturbate dogs and horses, and anally penetrate cows to collect semen without consent, why are bestiality laws still on the books designed to “protect the animals”? Sex with an animal carries a LIFE IN PRISON sentence in some places.

Oops, I am off the subject again of sex dolls and THEIR ability to consent. But it really is a questions because there are people out there actually talking about “sex dolls” and “CONSENT” in the same sentences.

But in this #metoo age, no one will open their mouth as soon as the “consent” card is played.

When faced with options of a real female with real flesh, bones & blood who consents to sex — and a sex doll that costs about $6000 and is made from silicone who can’t consent to sex — logic dictates that the man who chooses the latter has questionable views about women.  Or does he? 

Let’s not be sexist …

sex robots and sex dolls have nothing on women traveling and paying for sex

And why are we only writing about men visiting the brothel??  Perhaps a sexist approach, don’t you think? Women are traveling and paying for sex. Is it fair to assume they wouldn’t visit a sex robot brothel?

It is understood that most sex workers’ prime objection to the sex dolls is rather economic than philosophical or moral. Just tell a sex worker that the sex robots are coming and watch the disdain in his or her face.

An Aura official argued that there are benefits associated with the advent of sex dolls. Take, for instance, people who lack the social skills required to develop any meaningful relationship with others; He stated that people who have some kind of disorders or disability will hugely benefit from the service of rented sex dolls and/or robots.

Wait … *I* didn’t say BDSM was a weird sexual preference …

sex dolls bondage adult shop near Lake Charles Louisiana

Sex robots could also serve people with very weird sexual preferences (say, BDSM) who do not seek to harm fellow human beings or a spouse who wishes to experiment sexually without committing adultery.

It would be wrong to term these people misogynists who just want to carry out their brutal fantasies on plastic, just as it will be unfair to call everyone who buys sex (roughly 14% of men in America), exploitative.

There are so many factors to consider when comparing the cost of buying/hiring a sex doll and the cost of a legal sex worker. It is less costly to masturbate into a sex doll (or make love to your love doll) when compared to hiring a legal prostitute.

In some cases, the cost is about 90% higher than the $120 charged by Aura Dolls, but the gap seems smaller when the maintenance cost of cleaning up the sex dolls is factored in. (Note to self: Are condoms required?)

Sex Workers provide cuddling and kissing … not just sex.

Also, you have to put into consideration that legal sex workers offer more value than sex. You must have seen in the movies where the king’s secret was revealed by his mistress (not even his wife!).

Allisa reported that most of her job involved non-sexual activities like connecting with the client intimately. It is no surprise in a world where the male is being conditioned to suppress his feelings.

Despite the many fears among sex workers about being replaced, some are still confident and hope not to be replaced in the near future since prostitution is one of the earliest professions – and is still illegal in 99% of the USA. Why it remains illegal is for another day.

In truth, the sex doll brothels are very far from conventional but we’ve seen so many surprises in this age to keep our fingers crossed. 

There was once a time when there were no color televisions – but low and behold – we survived.

Only a few years ago, there was no such thing as Netflix or Disney streaming — and we welcomed the advancements.

Technology advancement and changes in society surrounding those changes WILL happen. It is a snowball that even Olaf can’t stop.

Pandering to Pride – Gay Whoppers and Questions for Ronald

Pandering to Pride – Gay Whoppers and Questions for Ronald

In the process of researching a previous post regarding Dr. Pepper and their strange fetish for aluminum can-based anal sex, I ran across another batch of advertisements pandering to pride in a similar vein. Two of the largest burger chains in the world, Burger King and McDonalds, once released a reportedly successful pro-LGBTQ+ advertisement campaigns that I never saw.

Granted I’d rather spend my money on beer than fast food and don’t have cable, but you’d think word of mouth from one of the handful of people who still talk to me would have posted a meme or something.

Back in 2014, Burger King released the Proud Whopper in San Francisco, California. The rainbow wrapped burger coincided with the year’s Gay Pride Parade.

Though it garnered the usual criticism of pandering to pride from people opposed to such endeavors, it created positive results from those who support the movement and The King of Burgers. My personal preference is for the King of Rock n’ Roll, but to each their own.

The Proud Whopper (I can visualize the “proud whopper” as a movie featuring none other than Jonah Falcon!); generated 7 million video views with their ad campaign along with 450,000 blog mentions, and became the number one trending topic on several social media sites. When it was done, Burger King had received the equivalent of $21 million dollars of free advertising. 

They clearly knew how to have it “their way”.

This all came from one store in California, which, considering how rare it is for the people of that state to even look at meat, much less consume it, is a pretty impressive feat (feat; NOT feet!).

Granted, none of that advertising appeared on my radar at the time, but good on them for a successful campaign for one of America’s propagators of an obesity and food wastage epidemic.


Not every campaign created by these media behemoths is successful. Just ask the guys who came up with the new “Not everyone is Happy – Meal” boxes!! Designed to tease McDonald’s Happy Meals and partner with Mental Health month, you had a choice of the Pissed Meal, Blue Meal, Salty Meal, YAAAS Meal and DGAF Meal. I’m not kidding.

Following up the previously successful Whopper ad, Burger King changed their laughably inaccurate slogan of “Have it your way” (I’d like a pound of ground beef from the grocery store, thanks) with a more progressive “Be Your Way” (a cranky underpaid writer who drinks too much and can’t afford a PS4, thanks.) and as usual, the wise guys at Fox News got their bubble pipes in a knot and started whining about the downfall of Western civilization, which is hilarious because everyone knows that happened with the fall of the Roman Empire.

Responding to the sad fact that the same people who watch Fox are also the same people willing to consume Burger King of their own free will, the company changed the slogan to a more neutral “Your Way” (or the highway, I guess.) This is the slogan they’ve kept as of the time of this writing, proving once again the power of biased (“bi-assed”) media against corporate… something.

Pandering to Pride

Not to be left out of the game, the other big name in burgers, Bob, I mean, McDonald’s, released a fry container with a rainbow pattern as part of their commitment to Prideful Irish folk. Since their fries are probably one of the least likely things on their menu to kill you, it was a good choice for the ad campaign. Since the McDonald’s promotion was not limited to one store in one city, McDonald’s took heat from across the board – as a company who was both pandering to pride and trying to convince the young that being gay was ok. 

Pandering to Pride McDonalds

Once the gay ad hit, online photo-shoppers created the most memorable faux-ad that I will likely not forget. 

First, “M” with an upside-down “M” which becomes a “W”, to represent heterosexual sex (M+W). 

Then it used the rounded McDonald’s famous letter “M”, and place it with another “M”, to represent gay-male sex (M+M). 

And finally, two upside “M”s together, which would be two “W”s, indicating lesbian sex (W+W).

It is amazing what kids sitting at home with too much free time on their hands and their dad’s copy of Photoshop, can do to shape societal norms.

Again, I never saw one, but as readers may have garnered from this article, I do not consume fast food. I do enough to my body as is, thanks.

The disconnect between Dr. Pepper’s fetishism and the Two Wise Burger Guys (which is three guys short of Five Guys! I hope people get that joke … ) actually producing thoughtful and supportive campaigning is either a sign of changing times or just another indication that fast food is slowly taking over the planet.


In the end, even if it is pandering to pride, it provided a positive, open atmosphere for all to express themselves for the betterment of all humanity. Granted, I consider can-based anal sex on about the same level as fast food, but it’s the thought that counts.  (You should probably read my Dr Pepper article if you don’t get the reference!)

Corporations may be destroying the world with pollution and plastic, but their media efforts are a powerful force to be reckoned with, and the Burger King himself is a powerful and mysterious “demigod” being clearly of fae origin.

To have him joining the fight for LGBTQ+ rights is definitely an advantage, regardless of what certain media outlets or soda products might state.

Sex and Gambling – Two Intertwined Addictions

We take a look at the worlds of sex and gambling and see the degree to which they overlap and what effect they have on each other.

[EDITOR’S NOTE:  This article was provided to us by an author who specializes in writing about gambling and psychology.  However, it is written at a college level, and by an author whose first language is not English.  Rather than polish the post, it was decided to leave the writing as is, with this disclaimer].

The first pioneering work of propagandist Edward Bernays in bulk manipulation utilized a number of the principles as laid down by Freudian psychoanalysis and assisted to convert a mostly “demands” established system of consumerism into some “needs” to contribute to the economy of ingestion. Modern-day advertising stems straight from the inter-war year’s (1919-1938) function and using sex to sell us items has ever been a mainstay ever since.

Sex and gambling have been linking, however, far longer. We might have become desensitized to the sexual imagery we see in advertisements but it doesn’t negate the reality that it works (when it does not, they would not bother). Still, in regards to gambling, we’re especially vulnerable to the effect of sex on the decision making, risk-taking and situational evaluation. The worlds of sex and gambling are frequently intertwined.

Are Gambling And Sexual Behaviors Connected?

There’s tons of evidence to indicate that there are immense similarities between both of these pleasurable pursuits and scientists have sought to identify and measure them. This is not only so that they could see the impact of the action but also what causes and perpetuates it. Studies are conducted to obtain an image of exactly what links you will find between sexual behavior and gambling customs, with outcomes which might not surprise anybody who open their day by reading the casino gambling news.

Obviously, as with any analysis of human behavior, there’s a possibility that the erroneous decisions could be arrived at only by not taking into consideration enough contributory factors in the beginning. However, despite some research being faulty and tied to other agendas, it’s unlikely anybody will immediately dismiss the notion of sex and gambling using a relationship, possibly because we view them at a similar method.

Man Gamers Prefer Gambling To Sex!

Men, for example, have shown a small bias towards gambling over sex when provided a direct and immediate comparison. The proportions might be modest rather than substantial, and likely to not make many ripples in the gambling news. However, at the realm of entire populations, this may still equate into a sizable amount of individuals, guys, who automatically discover the gambling of cash more appealing compared to participating in sexual activity. Studies that back up this are altering the way we see both.

The more hard core, and superstition-based gamblers will choose abstinence on the night before a big tournament as they believe that intercourse and ejaculation will mess up their mental and physical “chi”.

As the net booms, online casinos are just now starting to mix real play sexual content along with the degree to which is slanted in favor of one or the other.  It is something that these studies will likely help us to form better understanding later on. The worldwide web reacts well to any small change in public understanding and as the curiosity about those online sex games develops, so will their incidence.

Sex Themed Online Casino Games Here To Stay

The growth of gambling games online that feature sexual content has been slow in light of this huge usage of it in other types of amusement. Television, videos, music videos and commercials use sexual imagery to maintain our viewing, listening and overall attention, so why are there so few gambling sites that utilize it to the same degree? Is that currently changing as the link between gambling and sex become evident?

The slow uptake may be caused by societal acceptability which although enormously faster online than at the physical world, marks sex out as more suitable of an interest compared to gambling. Pornography websites still dwarf gambling sites in amount even now. However, that’s very likely to change over time, and we are going to see a lot more online casinos copying exactly what physical gambling casinos have been doing for ages.

Does Sex Boost The Gambling Urge?

Casinos have since surrounded players with girls in sexy outfits, understanding that doing so improved the gains of the institution. The gambling tables of American saloons always seemed to possess women about in burlesque outfits. Instead of simply being something related to your winnings if you be so blessed, they were there as a bit of sexual vision that could raise the propensity of punters to bet higher amounts.

This has been shown in recent research, and although it may not come as a complete shock that men’s conclusions aren’t in their best interest when considering sex, the degree to which it’s an element in the gambling habits of guys is incontrovertible. The woman bringing you drinks at the blackjack table in Vegas is not only courtesy of this institution but also very much part of the home edge with the gambler.

Interestingly, the sexual act is NOT what boosts the gambling urge. It is the attention, affection, and encouragement that the scantily-clad female casino workers provide. They earn more on their words than on their physical activities!

Historical Connections Between Sex And Gambling

The link between gambling and sex is just now becoming a thing of record because of neuroscience and MRI scans.  An individual shouldn’t dig too much into history to discover examples of the mix with famous people of the day. From paupers to kings, from retailers to mercenaries, the listing is rather inexhaustible; however, some guys who stick out in the audience have not only indulged a bit in those pastimes collectively, but favorably dove in headfirst and wallowed.

They may not have experienced online gambling sex matches. However, that is only a couple of clicks off. Still, these ancient figures made the most of their fire for both sex and gambling. From Charles II into Casanova, the pops of those historic statistics leave no doubt that sex and gambling have a hyperlink and dependence between them.

Sex Addicts And Gambling Addicts. Are They The Same?

Addiction takes several forms and may seem a disparate selection of maladies when directly compared to each other, some genuinely eccentric, and some entirely dull  However, addiction to gambling and sex  have some striking similarities. Freud’s work with sex and gambling addicts helped him closely define the subconscious needs which all people experience in their day to day decision making, and contemporary psychology is utilizing his job to examine addicts to this day.

The urge that commands failures from both sets of addicts are lamentable procedures, dependent to  seeking pleasurable delight that both gambling and sex could offer. Winning cash in a blackjack tournament frequently produces the identical euphoric sensation as sexual congress.  Psychologists see the indicators of the two to be quite alike as well as the probable remedies being nearly the same. We y think about sex and gambling under similar conditions.

When sex and gambling converge in addiction treatment

The character of behavioral addiction

An anticipatory dream can be a characteristic of sex and gambling behavior problem. Escape gamblers and sex addicts discuss psychological twists such as guilt.

Have you wondered if you’ve got a problem with your sexual Behavior or do you or a loved one battle with issue gambling?

Behavioral tendency can thus be misunderstood and may also be the topic of misguided ethic pronouncement and corruption that could leave you feeling tired and lonesome. All of these states of heart can make you feel distressed, but can help if you’re willing to change.

Addiction could be described as a servile liability to delight and also work in quest of psychological pleasure, relaxation and safety. Carnal affection has a tendency to discuss lots of sameness with all the topics introduced by issue gambling. They each provide the instant possibility of mood regulation and psychological relief. There is also a kind of mental teasing that the behavior could prove as enchanting and persuasive for people looking for psychological relaxation. Individuals who fight in these regions will undergo step by step reduction of management and increased cohesiveness with their preferred actions.

‘Play’ was exactly what the Dutch historiographer Johan Huizinga averred the “glamor ring” between a method of construction from so-called ‘true-life’, under a impermanent world of activity with a mood all its own. Carnal sex and gambling can match that connotation of drama as they both provide players with the prospect of top excitements by pumping the ‘realize-perfect’ neurotransmitter dopamine to the reward centers of the mind.

‘Anticipatory vision’ is a phrase related to carnal and affection tendency therapy whick could be regarded as a type of mental teasing. Likewise, the ‘issue gambling sphere’ is a period that details how players pray to release their daily “expense” as numerous as it is practically connected to their repetitious work.

‘Elementary dream’ can entail over thought and worry about getting sex; like pondering the best way to locate the right sexual spouse, in which to go for the carnal experience.  It also provides excitingly enthusiastic feelings about potential sexual outcomes and release. It may also involve busy sexual behavior such as viewing porn, multiple spouses, and events.  Or it might include seeing a massage parlor or bordello and phoning numerous escort contacts to schedule a necessary visit. Irreversibly the hum isn’t about real carnal activity, but the actual excitement is at mental foreplay which leads the carnal experiences. This is why behavioral tendencies are so misunderstood. Individuals that have an issue in this field have reported this mental teasing offers large quantities of merriment, madness and frenzied power in the pursuit of sexual gratification.

Where the ‘issue gambling sphere’ differs from ‘Elementary Imagination’ is in the build-up to the actual play. While there may an extreme lead stage for gamblers — for example, speculation about a trip to the dancing hall, turf or even with internet activity — the true payoff for these people is in actual “play”. The sphere of going play for getaway gamblers provides recoil from daily anxieties. Individuals that have an issue in this field have a clarified presence which reflects an oasis of quiet, great, as long as they can continue performing.

Carnal and affection tendency and issue gambling also divide sameness to a fault and regret tolerable activity after an effective desire. There may also be a sort of post-coital melancholy following such behavior once the merriment fetched about by the action is completed. For carnal enthusiasts, this is sometimes the ejaculation period, and for gamblers, it’s as soon as the cash has run down.

The takeaway is that both sex addicts and gamblers have a REFRACTORY PERIOD.  During the refractory period, they must “rest”, in a manner that is appropriate for their current actions.

It’s these feelings connected to the wake of a bender that distinguishes problem behavior from lifestyle option.

Therapy will aid in facing ‘here and now’ emotions by talking about your issues and beyond psychological clobbering. Carnal and gambling could be instant temper shifters, so very often folks will have become jaded and can’t turn aside dismal emotions. Agreement with these kinds of emotions will be hard, but will finally show to be quite rewarding. Learning how to master difficult feelings could be hugely satisfying and may result in a new and enabling lifestyle.

Treatment Choices

Treatment for carnal and affection tendencies differ from how issue gambling is treated. It’s ideal to recognize private behaviors for sexual healing and also to cling to stringent boundaries when seeking to alter old behavioral actions. Stone quarter behaviors are the ones which cause the most injury to an individual’s reassurance and spiritual stability. Integrative instruments and technics can help devise a suitable program for retrieval.

Since carnal and affection are so tightly connected to survival and our need to affiliate, it’s tough to embrace a completely avoidance-basis programm of therapy. It’s possible, but difficult, to find abstinence from recognized behaviors.

Issue gambling, on the other hand, always entails an avoidance-basis process since a damage retrenchment technique due to controlled gambling frequently contributes to ongoing inexorable and uncontrollable behavior. When issue gamblers experience a viewless line into the reduction of control, it’s hard for them to recover control and discipline.

Did Dr Pepper Come Out as Bi or Gay?

When it comes to advertisement, nailing the tone for the right target audience is key, and to come out as always played into media attention. This is especially true when dealing with groups like the LGBTQ community, where innuendo abounds and tone is vital to get the message across. Some companies hit the mark, but sometimes they miss the mark and hit the poor guy at the next target in the ass, possibly literally. What did Dr. Pepper do?

When it comes to mis-aimed marketing, Dr. Pepper might just win the prize for 2019 through its veiled effort to “come out” as gay or bisexual. Though potentially a hoax, a European ad for the favorite soda of Steins; Gate and sportsball declared, “A queer drink for diverse drinkers”. The ad also featured multiple angles of a soda can while declaring it to be “versatile”. The wording doesn’t leave much to imagination, and that is exactly the problem.

I might be a queer fellow, but even I would think twice about chugging a soda before sex. I have enough stomach issues on a regular day without adding to the chemical quandary that is my gastrointestinal system. The link between how you look at a can of soda and different sex positions is equally baffling. I might be old fashioned, but for me there’s two ways to have sex with soda; raw in the can or protected in a glass, and I always make sure I get the medical report before drinking from the can.

About the only thing making this ad even better from a humorous point of view was to use to glass bottle and make a joke about insertion. Frankly, Dr. Pepper’s oversight in that regard is possibly one of the most offensive parts of the ad. It’s one thing to imply soda is vital to various gay sex positions, to deny the utility of a sturdy glass bottle is just wrong.

Of all the ways to appeal to a gay audience, cheap butt sex jokes is so low of a denominator it couldn’t pass math class even with extra credit. Such advertisement methods are not only counterproductive to diversity; they’re also insulting to the supposed target demographic. The ad is so completely out of the field it makes one wonder if it was done as a deliberate satirical strike to build brand awareness and generate buzz in the gay community. If that was the intended goal, it certainly succeeded. You’d think a big-name brand would have better sense than that, but we live in a world where billionaires try to explore space rather than pay their workers a living wage. In comparison to some of the vile tricks pulled by companies, a cheap butt sex joke is almost on the level of the Gilbert and Sullivan in regards to how tongue in cheek it is. Rim joke unintended of course.

Whether intended to generate buzz with a controversial ad campaign or just complete ignorance, such advertisements are shallow pandering that fail to understand the nuances of advertisement appeal or their target audience. Coors Light advertises itself as a refreshing breakfast drink, Liberty Mutual hates Australians, and Allstate has a masochist for a mascot owned by Tina Fey. When it comes to appealing to gays and the subsequent stress when they choose to come out, Dr. Pepper could have done pretty much anything except what they did. A drink at a gay bar between a flirting pair would have been a better idea, or even show how it can used as a mixer for favorite drinks. Going for the cheap sex joke is just that, a cheap shot, like a well drink during happy hour.

Sex jokes are a common denominator because they’re crude, easy to create, and generate buzz. When it comes to diversity, however, such jokes come across as insults more than a mere good-natured jab. To present your brand as a cheap thrill with no depth, it is best to mind the quality of the brand in question. We all know Dr. Pepper is one of the best sodas on the market, but to use such an advertisement method really makes you think about where the brand stands on certain issues.

Whether from ignorance, satire, or cheap jokes and shots, such advertising can do just as much harm as good. It may have succeeded in getting attention, but it might not be the sort of attention the company hoped for. I know I won’t be drinking Dr. Pepper before I try a new sex position, though to be fair that has nothing to do with the brand and everything to do with my mind have more important things to worry about. And I think anyone who bottoms might agree, that drinking a carbonated fizzy drink might not be the best hygienic decision just before seeing your lover! Time will tell if Dr. Pepper has a similar problem.

Dr. Pepper previously had a campaign saying that its Dr.Pepper “Ten” drink was not for women, or more likely, was not geared to the female taste.

And before you think I am being sexist, do you research — Coke declared that “Coke Light” appealed to females; and “Coke Zero” taste was formulated to appeal to males. So Dr. Pepper’s “not for women” ad wasn’t the first.

But, in 20/20, it makes me thing that Dr. Pepper might have been in the closet back then, and was dipping his “big toe” in the water of “coming out”.

Well, provided he HAS a “big toe”.

Even with all of that, it did make me laugh a little bit. I enjoy ads that push the limits and take risks. Come to think about it, that sums up Dr. Pepper drinkers.

10 Things Women Wish Men Knew About Sex and Climax

Given that women are quite mysterious, the question, ‘What is it that women like in bed?’ has been one to trouble men for past generations. There is no consensus on the matter, what gives a particular woman pleasure is likely to irritate the other. Regardless of the difficulty one faces in trying to discover what women like in bed, and how to make her have a happy climax, there are myths that we know for sure that is wrong on the topic. Relationship specialist, Tamar Gass, reveals to us 10 things that women want men to know about sex.

Women don’t want sex all the time

There are particular days in a month when women are fertile and hence, have a higher sex drive during that period. On the contrary, men are fertile all day. While a man gets signals from his brain telling him he wants to have sex all time, the woman only yearns for sex when she’s ovulating. On every other day, her sex urge depends mainly on her social interactions. That doesn’t mean that women only want sex when they are ovulating, it just means that they will crave it more on those days.

There’s more to sex than getting an erection

Almost all men believe that a hard penis turns a woman on. And that by guiding her hands to your penis or poking her when it’s hard, you will get her aroused. A hard penis only means one thing, that you are aroused, not her. You will have to do more than guiding her hand to it or asking her to play with it if you want to get her attention. And you will be disappointed to think that you deserve to have sex just because you have an erection.

Sex is nothing like porn

The clean skin, the perfect butt and boobs, the rhythm in the movement, the moaning, the size of the penis, the duration of sex, the cum sucking etc. all these things as much as they appeal to the senses are nothing but, you guessed right… fake. Porn industries are there primarily for entertainment. They are made to appeal to your fantasies. Real-life sex is, well… real! It is nothing like what you watch online.  The pornography we watch online is channelled towards getting us addicted, which you know, is good for business; but that is a topic for another time. If you are trying so hard to recreate what you saw online in the bedroom, you will miss what gives her pleasure.

Women want to achieve multiple orgasms   

Honestly, men tend to be okay after their first climax but that’s not the same for women. During intercourse, the vagina muscles contracts rapidly, gripping the penis. After her first climax, the vagina released fluid and gets tighter, which in turn makes the activity more enjoyable.

Facts about female erection, the clitoris and the G-spot

The location of the clitoris is not just the protrusion of flesh on the top of the vagina, it can also be found inside, around the walls of the vagina, like legs split in two in an inverted V. The point where the two legs of the inner clitoris converge is the G-spot (inside, about 2-3 inches on the top side). The G-spot becomes erect during foreplay and can only be reached when erect. The erection is as a result of high blood flow when the female is aroused. The G-spot becomes more prominent during or immediately after she reaches orgasm.

The importance of foreplay

The importance of foreplay cannot be overemphasized. To most persons, a passionate foreplay is better than penetration. Foreplay also prepares her before sex. He must try not to make it about himself by distracting her with his penis, instead, he must try to get her aroused and her clitoris erect. This is because an erect clitoris brings about pleasure in the vagina, that way she will likely climax which means that she will make him hard for penetration again since it’s a lot easier for the man to get an erection. You can tell if she enjoyed the sex by how well you spent time to get her aroused during foreplay.

You don’t have to last long to pleasure

Here again, lies the danger of watching porn, the expectation you develop about the duration of sex. you don’t have to keep penetrating for a long time for her to climax. If she’s unable to climax within 10mins, she may not be able to, no matter how long you penetrate. Foreplay should take longer than the main sex. You should also make effort to find out what gives her maximum pleasure, so you will know what to focus on. That way you won’t spend a large chunk of time doing the undesired.

The position that pleasures her

In positions that put most of her weight on her legs, it is quite difficult for her to reach orgasm. It will be more difficult for her to climax in a standing position, in a doggy position or when she is riding on top of you.

A woman can’t climax without clitoral erection

Being wet and being erect is entirely different. The latter is much more important. The female erection takes a lot more than sound, slight touching, feeling or just thought unlike in the male when the above mentioned brings about an erection. Erection in the female takes quite a lot more. The clitoral erection in the female can be achieved by rubbing the clitoris on the outside (you are to vary the paces as she pleases). You must be intentional about giving her an erection, as this is the first phase of her getting an orgasm.

She will fake it for your self-esteem

Men need to learn to take subtle signals from women. If she appears to be rushing you through it or scream it’s a lot for her to handle or somehow reaches climax without foreplay, then there’s a big chance she’s not enjoying it hence the need to fake it.

She might also fake so that the activities will stop, as she is either tired or frustrated. Education and understanding your partner’s desires, interests and feelings will help bridge the climax-gap between the two of you and will hopefully allow both of you to enjoy sex more.

LoveWorks provides help with Foreplay

LoveWorks has ideas to make foreplay more fun. Oral sex can be improved with your partner’s favorite flavored oil, such as Raspberry Kiss, giving them two satisfactory experiences at the same time. Pre-sex time can be improved with games that are designed to relax and slow the entry into the sex act. Sex Toys can be added to bring about climax or orgasm in the female before the sex act actually begins. Even males who might be adverse to large toys do not object to the use of a small and inexpensive vibrating bullet, or a top-of-the-line bullet.

Making sex better takes a little time, and sometimes a little help. Ask a store team member for more ideas on improving her loving time!
