I have just added a whole lot of new vibrators. Six of them from California Exotic Novelties, called the Petite Couture Collection. These are a really attractive, well designed silicone waterproof vibrator. At the moment, we seem to be the only people in the country with them!! I am very happy to be able to offer these. I like stylish, sexy looking toys, and I can’t wait to try one.
It seems that PayPal India is back up and running. How do I know this? I got a couple of orders last night from the sub-continent. So to all of you horny Indians out there, have a look at the shop, you can own a toy again, rather than just dreaming about it! Yay!
On another note, I got a really good response to my last post, and will have a review of my own up soon, followed by three from guest reviewers! Cool!
If you want to submit, either contact me through the comments, or write to me c/- cstonline.store@gmail.com I look forward to hearing your adventures!
This article looks at 2 studies done involving adult stem cells and the natural renewal system of the body.
It was not that long ago the concept of bone marrow adult stem cells actually being the natural renewal system of the body, was simply a fanciful idea. Researchers were reluctant ant to get involved with something akin to science fiction, however the last few years has seen a dramatic turnaround.
One of the earliest studies was by a team led by Dr Diane Krauss. The aim of the study was simply to prove on thing — can one single stem cell reconstitute the entire blood system?
In theory it was easy, but in reality it was much more difficult. The team persevered and came up with something ingenious. They knew that the only cells that will home to the bone marrow are stem cells, so by injecting bone marrow cells into the blood, a few hours later they will end up in the bone marrow.
Dr Krauss irradiated female mice and injected male bone marrow cells. After a few days, the team collected stem cells from the bone marrow of the recipient mice and a single one of these stem cells was injected into another irradiated female. This gave them the condition of a female mouse with blood cells damaged by radiation containing one single stem cell in their bodies.
In a few weeks, Dr Krauss and her team got their answer. The entire blood system of the female mouse was back and they had definitively proven that a single bone marrow derived stem cell can reconstitute the entire blood system.
There was also some more to this experiment. Since the stem cell had come from a male and XY DNA, they were able to identify the Y chromosome in the female mouse. It appeared in various tissues such as the intestine, liver, lung and skin. This revealed that stem cells from the bone marrow can in fact travel to the various tissues and organs of the body and become new cells.
In this case, the stem cell used to regenerate the entire blood system was from a donor male, so the question asked, would the same migration and renewal happen if the stem cells were the animal’s own?
Whilst Dr Krauss was doing her study, in 2001, Dr Orlic and his team and the National Institute of Health set out to answer that question. They stimulated the release of stem cells in animals who had suffered heart attacks. Dr Orlic found that when significantly increasing the number of stem cells for a few days, scarring of the heart tissue was eliminated and almost normal heart function was restored in as few as 27 days.
This release of stem cells from the bone marrow was enough for them to travel to the heart, migrate into the heart tissue and become healthy new cells of that tissue. When you look at these amazing results, it really makes you wonder why the scientific community took so long to wake to the fact that bone marrow stem cell release is a natural process and this natural process is actually the renewal system of the body.

As our nation and the world continue to struggle with societal woes, everyone rushes around searching for the answers. They run tests, perform studies, and survey people to find out what is going on. In all of this, they neglect the very thing that can help them fix all of the problems that we will ever face.
In America, the problems continue to grow as the government no longer cares to listen to the people it governs. Instead, it sits in its ivory tower with ears plugged and tells the country exactly what is best for it without having a shred of evidence that this is so. Meanwhile, the things that America so desperately needs continue to dwindle away to nothing. Those things that have made this nation what it is disappear at a growing rate, being eroded by the newest fad or the most recent study. One of the main things that is becoming endangered is the biblical family.
The family has been the building block of this nation since its inception. The reason that this is so is due to the overwhelming belief by the nation’s founders that God is not only real, but active in the lives of men. They understood the sinful nature of man, the dangers of power, and the importance of the family in the growth of the country. Ultimately, they placed the family in its position of honor because God had already done so. Because of their desire to glorify God, they patterned life and government after the laws and institutions set forth in scripture.
Fast forward 230 years to today’s time and look at how far we’ve fallen. The biblical family is quickly becoming the minority and in its place are man-made constructs that allow sin-filled men and women to justify an abhorrent lifestyle and reap the “benefits” of scriptural institutions. Homosexual men push to try to adopt and raise children when this is diametrically opposed to scripture. The same goes for homosexual women. These are not biblical families and they never will be. The erosion of the family is wider than this though. Promiscuity runs rampant in men and women of all ages. Teens pregnancy rates are skyrocketing and “pregnancy pacts” are being made. Single men and women are having children out of wedlock with no intention of getting married or even staying together. Men no longer have any concern for the children they help create, seeing them as a liability and a nuisance. They leave at the first available opportunity so that they can find someone else and repeat the vicious cycle. Women prostitute themselves out in order to find “love”, only to end up with another mouth to feed. They are forced to stretch the few dollars they have a little more and depend on charity and government handouts for their livelihood. Others kill baby after baby because they don’t have the desire to raise their children or face the consequences of their actions.
Children come from broken homes where one or both parents are gone. They struggle with identity issues and lack the skills and understanding they need to grow up because their parents can’t or won’t provide those things for them. Violence has become the norm in schools because there is no discipline at home. Danger lurks at every corner because perverse and sinful men and women prey on them. It’s not even safe to play outside in many areas anymore. Children continue to grow more distant and aloof from society and reality and no one seems to care. The answers that have been used so far – public schools, day care, after school programs, government programs – have all failed. We are losing the next generations faster and faster.
It is no different inside the church than it is outside either. Divorce rates are the same, if not higher, in the church. Children are entertained with fairy tale type stories that have no biblical substance, craft times, coloring pages, and a fluffy, watered-down substitute for the truth. Church going parents spend just as little time with their kids as those who don’t go to church. Sports, entertainment, and ministry use that time. People are more interested in doing their own thing than they are being a family. Gone are the times when families come together to eat at the dinner table and share time talking about the day. Commitment is no longer an issue because people can live together in sin without any concern for the future.
Compare all of this to the biblical portrait of a family. The father/husband goes out and works for the sustenance of his wife and children. He does whatever he has to do to make sure that they are protected, taken care of, and nurtured; spiritually and physically. He leads his family according to the truth found in scripture. He charts a course for his family that leads them ever closer to God and gives his children a firm foundation on which to grow. He loves his wife like Christ loves the church and will sacrifice himself for her. He disciplines his children because he loves them and doesn’t want to see harm come to them. He is upright and transparent. He has nothing to hide from anyone and can be trusted in word and deed.
The mother/wife stays home with the children, keeping house and raising the kids to glorify and revere God. She teaches them scriptural truth and nourishes them with physical and spiritual food. They are taught how to do chores at an early age that they may contribute to the family. They are disciplined when unruly and are taught to show respect to parents, adults, and authority. She makes sure that her house is a haven for her family and for those guests that visit. She teaches her children at home, where they learn math, reading, writing, science, English and other subjects according to Biblical truth. She takes an active role in the lives of those she loves so that God is glorified. She obeys her husband in the Lord and if she rebels, repentance is not far behind. She is the administrator of the house under her husband’s authority and decisions are made jointly by both parents.
While the children are children, they are raised with the understanding of what they are to become. The boys will learn the skills necessary to take care of a family. They will learn to protect and provide for their future family now. They are taught how to correctly treat elders, peers, women, and authority figures. They spend time in the scriptures learning how to understand them and use them to make God-honoring decisions. They also spend time helping to minister in small ways, knowing that they have a role in the body of Christ. The girls learn by doing chores as well. They learn to keep house and help their mother with chores that will one day be there own. They are taught the importance of their role as a mother/wife. They, too, learn from scriptures and build themselves up with a right understanding of what a godly woman is and how she acts. Whether boy or girl, the children are taught the truth about sex and abstinence. They are taught about temptation and how to rightly defend against it.
Does this sound a little far fetched to you? Does it sound like it’s right out of an episode of Little House on the Prairie? If so, then maybe you’ve been caught up in the world’s system and don’t even know it… The world shows families to be very different. Men are either portrayed as dopey dads who have absolutely no clue what it means to be a father, having only enough brain space to think about sports and sex; or, they’re shown to be “macho”, well-dressed men with a lot of money who can take or leave women on a whim. Neither has a desire to spend time with his children and neither sees his wife or family as important for anything other than self-satisfaction. Women are seen as oppressed in the household, wanting only to have her husband do her job so that she can go out and succeed. The thought of being “stuck” in the house with the kids all day doing housework is the largest insult that she could endure. She is not free when she’s “bound” to the house. She has her rights and needs to express herself. The children are most often monsters – unruly, disrespectful brats who are just there for comedic or dramatic use. They are little versions of the parents with no discipline who ruin everything for both parents by just existing.
The Biblical family in America is becoming a fading memory. Unfortunately, it is one of the things that this country cannot afford to lose. The Biblical family may not appeal to many people, but I believe that it is one of the answers to our troubles. I believe this because God made families to be the foundation and He made them to be one man and one woman for life. There are other things that would result if the Biblical family was restored. If children were raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord, they would respect the lives of those around them. School shootings would be a thing of the past. Teen pregnancies would disappear. They would understand that they are made in the image of God and not the descendant of a monkey. They would strive to honor their parents and glorify God. They would look to have Biblical families of their own. They would no longer have to try and raise themselves. If women would stop looking at being a mother/housewife as a bad thing or oppressive, the children would have a refuge when things in the world do go wrong. There would be an anchor to keep them grounded in reality. Children would no longer be aborted for convenience or “freedom to choose”, and would instead be raised at home or put up for adoption to families that can take care of them. The jobs that women currently take up would be available so that men could provide for their families. If men would actually be men, households would be held together. Young men would have someone at home to look up to instead of looking to sports figures or celebrities for guidance. Young women would know exactly what to look for in a man and would have an easier time relating to God because their father exhibits those qualities at home. There would be stability and security even in the toughest storms because they are together.
I realize that to some this may be a pipe dream. Others will see this as pure lunacy because it contradicts what they believe or would infringe on their “rights” to do whatever they want. Some will see this as narrow-minded because I advocate a definite structure to the family that comes from the Bible and not from man. All of this is ok…and it’s sad. Our families need to be bolstered. America is changing and it’s not for the better, but there is still time. I’m not saying that everyone has to start living this way immediately. I understand that there are situations that don’t allow for this type of family to be possible right now (single parent, single person), but I believe that the Biblical family should be strived for in all situations where possible.
People often complain about the situations they face because there is nothing that they can do. Here is something that you can do. Will your family be a Biblical one?
This is a very hectic time for me right now, school wise, as I race to the finish to complete my Bachelor of Nursing program — but not SO busy that I would forget to post about my new release at New Concepts Publishing www.newconceptspublishing.com
This week, they have posted my carnal paranormal vampire erotica, “In His Thrall”, featuring the masterless (or perhaps not so masterless) vampire Sherisse and the half-demon mind reader who possesses her with a single touch.
The book blurb reads: “At a party thrown by one of her ongoing romantic entanglements, a chance encounter with a half-demon has unexpected results for Sherisse. Fascinated by the beauty of the vampire before him, Carlos cannot entirely contain his interest in Sherrise – he accidentally possesses her when they touch and their minds become inexplicably linked. Sherisse hasn’t had a Master in nearly a century – and she refuses to be bound to anyone for any reason! Fate, however, has something else in store for her…
As the night goes on and her situation becomes more concrete, Sherisse can’t deny her attraction to Carlos and the promise of hot-blooded passion within him. Whatever are they going to do about the animal attraction between them? Especially now that they are privy to each others’ innermost thoughts and desires?
Furthermore, when will the possession wear off?”
If you enjoy your blood suckers drop dead sexy and your half-demons hot enough to melt your hard drive, then this may be a tale for you!
This story is a little graphic in places, so buyers beware!
I genuinely hope that you enjoy the naughty little erotica adventure that I’ve written for you!
After Wayne went back to Mississippi, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. He lived with his mother in a tiny mobile home in a trailer park. They didn’t have anything even closely resembling a land line and they shared a cell phone between them. I spent my down time while not in school filling out online surveys to get free ten minute phone cards from a website called “phonehog.com”. I’d use them to call him nightly, often hearing the chimes and message that said the phone was turned off or out of range. I got to know his mother a little as I often caught her instead of him. She was a delightful woman.
The weeks passed and I talked to Wayne as much as I could… which wasn’t much. I pined over him, dripping at the thought of seeing him again. I got to know him as much as ten minute conversations would allow and often hung up feeling unfulfilled as the time ran out all too soon.
Then one day James told me he was going to get Wayne for the weekend. I was elated! My mother wasn’t very fond of James for reasons I can’t recall, so I had to sneak to meet up with them. I got on my bike and rode down that dusty, un-paved back road. I pictured the moment in my mind when I’d see James’ car coming around the corner, Wayne hopping out of the passenger seat before the car could even come to a complete stop and running over to embrace me.
And it happened exactly like that.
I heard the white Accord before I saw it. It came racing around the corner, kicking up dust in its wake. The car rolled to a stop when James spotted me and Wayne hopped out of the passenger seat. I threw my bike down and ran to him. He lifted me in his arms and I wrapped my legs around him as we kissed and kissed and kissed. It was the most incredible feeling to taste him again, the metal of his tongue ring flicking across my lips.
“Okay you guys, get a room” James said. Wayne and I pulled apart and stared at each other, huge grins on our faces. He set me down and I hid my bike in the ditch, climbing into the car with them.
We couldn’t stay together long and before I knew it we were apart again. I savored the scent of his cologne, Hugo Boss, as it lingered on my clothes. I’ll forever associate that smell with him. R
History of oral sex, as old as human history itself. Begins when Cleopatra did the 100 men of the Roman officers in just one night. This happened around the year 30-69 BCE. Oral sex is still a limited period for men only (fellatio=fondle man). For that period was not used to clean a woman’s genitals with water. But over time, men doing oral sex on a woman (cunnilingus).
Oral sex or sex sexualoralisme or style “karaokean” consists of a combination of two words that is sexual and oralisme. The word means sexual lust or passion channeled through sexual intercourse or intercourse which in Arabic is called Jima. While the word means oralisme mouth. In Arabic called al-lisan (plural ‘from alsinatun wa alsunun), which means all things by using his mouth. In terminological means sexualoralisme means getting sexual satisfaction by using the mouth, lips or tongue to stimulate the genitals couples.
Oral sex has always been excellent for this question. Is taboo or not. Did you know that in Islam sex before, we are encouraged to do foreplay (mula’abah) ? It’s recommended that sexual relationships do not resemble the sexual relationship conducted by the animals. Without heating. So there is no party is expected to hurt. And so the two sides are expected to be able to enjoy it. One form of foreplay in the knowledge of modern SEXUALITAS had oral sex or who sexualorisme also known as 69 positions.
Muslims still think oral sex is often considered not in accordance with the guidance to sexual relationships taught by the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W with full of ethics and aesthetics of the sublime. . This is reinforced by the texts of the Qur’an and hadith that talk about sex is still zhanni (faint). Opportunities so that understanding different among the clergy. Especially considering mashlahat and mudharat terms. a, al-Muwafaqat fi Ushul al-Syari’ah , However, when viewed from the aspect of benefits, based on research Syathibi Imam (d. 790 AH) in his landmark work,al-Muwafaqat fi Ushul al-Shari’ah, that there are five basic elements in life that must be maintained that hifzh al-din (keep religion), hifzh al-nafs (soul maintenance), hifzh al-aql (reason maintenance), hifzh al-nasl (maintaining offspring) and hifzh al-mal (property maintenance). The five points are the result of Qur’an interpretation and Hadith. Based on the research of Imam al-Syathibi on the study of the behavior of oral sex in Islam and the medical view is very important to do, especially in terms of (mashlahat) and mudharat.
But despite all that, it depends on the interests, comfort, health and genitals in the mouth and the commitment of marriage between couples who are legally valid and religion to perform oral sex. Do not let one party feels intimidated!
One major factor that attracts white women to black men — and especially brings them back after the first time — is the depth of the black man’s penetration.
A black man’s long cock drives deep into a woman’s pussy. With many white women the black man feels like he is fucking a virgin because after a few inches it has never been stretched before.
The black man goes balls-deep, probing deeper and stretching more than she has felt from white men. The intensity of the fucking awakens something in even the most “proper and respectable” white woman, making her crave more black cock.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Gay, lesbian and bisexual teenagers may be at higher risk of binge-eating and purging than their heterosexual peers, starting as early as age 12, a new study finds.
Health
Past research has found connections between sexual orientation and the risk of eating disorders in adults — showing, for instance, that gay men have higher rates of symptoms than their heterosexual counterparts.
Less has been known about how sexual orientation affects teenagers’ risks of various eating disorders.
For the new study, researchers at Harvard University and Children’s Hospital Boston used data from a U.S. survey of nearly 14,000 12- to 23-year-olds to look at the relationship between sexual orientation and binge-eating and purging.
They found heightened rates of binge-eating among both males and females who identified themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or “mostly heterosexual.”
Purging, by vomiting or abusing laxatives, was also more common among these teens, the researchers report in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
“We found clear and concerning signs of higher rates of eating disorder symptoms in sexual-minority youth compared to their heterosexual peers even at ages as young as 12, 13 or 14 years old,” lead researcher S. Bryn Austin, an assistant professor of pediatrics, told Reuters Health in an email.
Among females, lesbian, bisexual and mostly heterosexual respondents were all about twice as likely as their heterosexual counterparts to report binge-eating at least once per month in the past year.
Bisexual and mostly heterosexual girls and women were also more likely to say they had purged in the past year in order to control their weight.
Among males, the highest risks were seen among homosexuals — who were seven times more likely to report bingeing and nearly 12 times more likely to report purging than heterosexual males.
Bisexual and mostly heterosexual boys and men also had elevated risks of both problems — with rates anywhere from three to seven times higher than those of their heterosexual counterparts.
The survey data do not offer a potential reason for the findings, but past studies give some insight, according to the researchers.
“We know that gay, lesbian, and other sexual-minority kids are often under a lot of pressure,” Austin said, noting that these teens are often “treated like outsiders” in their own families and schools, and may be excluded, harassed or victimized by bullies.
“This kind of isolation and victimization can take its toll on a young person,” Austin explained, “and one of ways it can play out is in vulnerability to eating-disorder symptoms and a host of other stress-related health problems.”
She added that because negative attitudes and discrimination against sexual minorities are still pervasive in society, families need to be a source of support.
It is “incredibly important,” Austin said, “for parents and other family members to reach out and make sure these youth know they are loved and supported, that they can count on their families to stay by their side.”

The next morning I woke up with a wonderful feeling between my legs. When I opened my eyes, I saw Susan’s hand on my pussy, fondling gently. She smiled and said, “My turn to do something nice for you. Now spread your legs.” I did, and she knelt between them, using her tongue lovingly where her fingers had been.
Susan’s tongue accomplished its goal and I soon came, soaking her face in my juice as she continued to lick after the first orgasm until I had a second one. When I had calmed down I suggested that we shower together, and we had fun sudsing and rinsing each other.
A trip downtown took us to a restaurant for a nice brunch and then to a favorite women’s clothing store. I asked a clerk who is a special friend to show Susan what they had in the maternity department. Emily used her quite-literal special touches as she helped Susan position one thing and another against her body, checking for fit. At first, Susan looked at me, questioning, and I just winked.
We took Susan’s purchases home and on the way she complimented Emily’s “personal approach.” I laughed and told Susan I always enjoyed shopping there.
Once we were home, Susan said she had better leave, but I told her I wanted to do one more thing and that she should strip and get on the bed on hands and knees. She did so. In a few minutes I returned to the room, naked except for the strapon protruding from my body.
I knelt behind Susan, fondling her pussy with my right hand and her left tit with my left hand until slick wetness oozed from her slit. Then I mounted her, thrusting the strapon deep.
I always enjoy fucking a woman doggy-style with my strapon. It’s especially good with a pregnant woman, making her belly and breasts sway with my thrusts. It was so good with Susan!
After she came three times, Susan asked me to please stop or she wouldn’t have the strength to drive home. We had a less-sexy mutual shower, and she dressed. She kissed me goodbye and thanked me profusely, then left.
I went back to bed and pleasured myself, reflecting over the past two days.
I have no patience. I never did. This is one of the reasons I never wanted to have children. My mom would tell me that patience would come when I had a child. Humpf! No way!
I am an animal of routine. I like things the way they are and not changed. I want my things to stay mine and not share. All things that do not mesh with having a child.
I grew up one of six kids. I thought I knew what it was like to have a child. I wasn’t prepared for how shocking it was to have Spunk. I wasn’t prepared for all the therapy she provides to me. From the moment she was born she has been a mirror of my character, my actions.. my motives. All that I am was presented to me in a small 7 pound nutshell.
With each revelation she gives me I given two options: First, I could ignore it and continue the way I am or Second, I can see myself and change. I am choosing change. The deepest desire I have now is to parent her. Not just to be along for the ride but to be part of her ride. I want to become the best that I can be so that I can give her a mom that knows how to love her.
My first lesson was that I couldn’t make her fit into my world, I had to fit into hers. I changed my schedule to fit hers. I stopped when she needed me to. I helped to ease Spunk into my crazy world instead of forcing her into it. I learned that I needed to relax and let her show me the way. I didn’t know how to be a mom but she would teach me. I quickly learned to give up the idea that I should know anything! We would be in this together! Spunk breastfed a lot! I learned to take that time to enjoy her and our time together. Now that she is 3, I truly miss our nursing time. I miss nursing! My point is that she made me stop. She made me sit.
Spunk is incredibly independent. She has been since she was born. She walked at 10 months, she weaned herself soon after. It is incredibly hard to nurse when you are on the run! She literally would try to get out of my lap and walk with my breast in her mouth. At 18 months she looked at me and said “no more diapers!” and she was done with them. She was potty trained without me even knowing it. Of course she had accidents but she was done! This little powerful thing. She is teaching me to do the same in my life. I am watching my 3 year old and learning how to be. I am learning how to be proud of who Iam. I am learning to not care what others think of me. This is a huge issue for me! Spunk is 100% in life. She is passionate and powerful. Why am I so scared to be? I am learning from her to become independent as she is!
Spunk imitates eveything I say and do. I learn pretty quickly what word I use often or what hand gesture I used. I hear the tone of voice I use. I see her kiss her little friends the way she sees me and her daddy kiss. (that one we had to put a stop to..) I went from being a person that swore quite often to hardly at all. Hearing your 3 year old utter the dirty word riddled sentence I uttered in frustration is an amazing way to stop! I have learned that I say hilarious a lot. I also say that things are my favorites, so now everything is her favorite too. I apparently say to her “Never do that again!” because she now yells that back at me.
One of the big things that I have learned from her is how to be a calm, assertive leader. (just like Cesar Milan says!) Spunk fuels off of my mood. If I am hysterical and yelling.. she becomes hysterical. And then in turn, she is hysterical whenever anything bad happens. This isn’t what I wanted to teach! I am working really hard at staying quiet and just dealing with what is at hand. I have learned from being her mom that most of the time that I yell is because I am mad at myself and not her. So why do I project that on her?
Spunk is teaching me to let go. I am learning to release my day. I can make a plan but most likely it will be different. Ohh the me before Spunk would never like that! I am learning that I might want to work out but might not. I might want to catch a tv show but might not. I might want to talk to a friend but might not. The gift of Spunk in my life has taught me that life is fluid. I have to learn to give thanks moment by moment. I am learning to appreciate everything little and the fact that I am still alive at the end of the day.
Spunk has been teaching me to love. She has transformed my soul. This little being loves me no matter what. I yell at her and she loves me. I put her in time out and she still wants me to hug her. She curls into me at nap time no matter how the morning went. She randomly gives hugs and kisses. “I love you so much momma”. My heart had no option but to open. The effect has meant that I am learning to love everyone in my life so much more. I am learning to forgive the past and love in the moment as she does for me.
I spent 12 years swearing I would never have children… then God sent me Spunk. He said to me, “Child, I am sending you the greatest gift I can. Love her as I love you. Love her and I will bless you.”
I just want to thank the following people for being utter AWESOME and buying my hard work off xStreet.
Sexy Group Sex Bed ~_^
Vincento John and Kiros Sirnah for buying my Sculpted Group Sex Bed (ADULT)
This was my first try into commercial furniture, I built this with the goal of releasing it to the world. I did, and the fact that even one person bought it means so much to me. The two of you (whoever you are) are AWESOME in my book, and this is showing how much I think that. Your names will be here forever (unless you tell me to take them down…) to honor you.
Round Sofa
Mythical Denja gets an AWESOME award for being the first to buy my Round Sofa (ADULT)
This sofa started out of a bored build, when my friends said they liked the design, I started working in some animations, and eventually it became a full fledged sex machine! Of course, you and your friends can still just sit on it. But where’s the fun in that?

I became friends with Janet when she was in her late 20s. Like many women around that age, she was stressed. Raising her children and doing household chores took a lot of time and energy. Her husband worked long hours, and their sex life had dropped off drastically.
Janet and I talked frankly about all kinds of topics. (I have always believed in being frank with everything I say or write.) She told me she no longer felt pretty or sexy. I tried to dissuade her by affirming how attractive she was, but it didn’t seem to sink in.
After several tries at verbal persuasion, I decided to take a different approach. The next time she was at my house for a visit, I sat beside her on the sofa. With no warning, I pulled her to me and kissed her. Not a peck on the lips, but a full-mouth kiss with lots of tongue.
Her little whimpers were muffled by our lips. When I finally pulled away, Janet was flushed and breathing hard. She asked what brought that on. I told her that I found her sexy and wanted to demonstrate it. She started to protest that she wasn’t, but I took her again with another kiss. This time I inserted my hand inside her shirt. My fingers slipped inside her left bra cup and played with her hardening nipple.
I didn’t want to push Janet too far that day, so when I broke that kiss, we chatted for a little while, and then she left. I had started her thinking about her own sexuality, though. I thought she would come back for more, and she did. I’ll tell you about that in a future post.
Black Orchid – Neil Gaiman, art by Dave McKean, lettering by Todd Klein – 144 pages
“After being viciously murdered, Susan is reborn fully grown as the Black Orchid, a hybrid of plant and human, in order to avenge her own death. Now as this demigoddess attempts to reconcile her human memories and botanical origins, she must also untangle the webs of deception and secrets that led to her murder. Beginning in the cold streets of a heartless metropolis and ending in the lavish heartland of the thriving Amazon, this book takes the reader through a journey of secrets, suffering, and self-rediscovery.” –from DCComics.com/Vertigo
I picked up a Black Orchid comic quite some time ago because I love female crimefighters, and I find orchids to be both visually pleasing and symbolically appealing, so the combination seemed like the kind of thing I’d enjoy. When I discovered the Gaiman/McKean version of Black Orchid, I knew I’d hit paydirt.
Mr. Gaiman, anybody who reads this blog knows I’m a huge fan, but for some reason I’ve never gotten around to reading Sandman–so my experience of your writing in comics is limited to graphic novels or guest writing of single arcs in continuous series. I’ve liked all the graphia of yours that I’ve read, though, and this trade is no exception. Somehow you managed to write something that captures and keeps my attention, but is so dreamlike that I’ve forgotten what it was about almost as soon as I’ve finished reading it–I’m just left with this really pleasant sense that some kind of fascinating journey has occurred, and I got to go along for the ride. Maybe that doesn’t sound like a compliment, but it’s meant as one.
Part of the dreaminess, though, is the incredible art. Mr. McKean, I love your work no matter what style you’re using, but this gritty-yet-ethereal sort of photorealism works so well with the strange story, and you do such a lovely job making the orchids seem so alien without being frightening. The juxtaposition of color palettes, of gray city and red violence versus the orchids and verdant jungles and things…well, it was fantastic.
Also, I don’t know if the excellent placement and coloration of the text boxes and speech bubbles were part of the art or went with the lettering work, but either way, it was brilliant. Mr. Klein, never let it be said that I don’t appreciate excellent lettering–you make the whole thing readable, and yet it never looked out of place with the art style. Awesome.
Four enthusiastic stars for Black Orchid!
Love,

I am. She’s right there. She’s very beautiful. I’m not bragging. Ok, I am. I was reading (in my loo library) Guy Browning’s excellent Never Hit a Jellyfish with a Spade and he was pondering whatever happened to the love that dare not speak it’s name? We seem to live in an age where love will not keep it’s irritating mout shut. Its not just smug people who’ve found it either. I know how lucky I am to have what I have, I don’t need to be reminded by other people. Valentine’s day is symptomatic of this obsession with luurve. It’s basically a day set aside for couples to feel smug (and then pay a hefty fine in the way of meals and cards) and for single people to wallow (and then pay a hefty fine in the way of drinks and ice cream.) I think the whole exercise should be canned. If you’re in a relationship it’s impossible to be romantic on the day because they’re expecting it, and the greatest weapon of romance is suprise, and consideration, ok the two greatest weapons of romance are suprise and consideration….I’m not continuing with that, I have a point. So if your beloved is waiting for a Niagra Falls of rose petals and you can only provide a light showering, you’re stuffed. Even if it’s a power shower. Unless you can somehow find a pulse setting.
So there you have it, a bah humbug Valentine rant more than a month early. She really is beautiful though.
One major factor that attracts white women to black men — and especially brings them back after the first time — is the depth of the black man’s penetration.
I was very young.
