Sperm Recipes

I really wish I could see everyone's face when they read this, especially if they hadn't heard of it before. This website ( CookingWithCum ) advertises it's new book, Natural Harvest - A collection of Semen-based Recipes by Fotie Photenhauer. ( Buy it here ). You're probably asking, 'What the hell?!' But it's real!!! Well, you can order from their LuLu Self-Publishing website. It's really hard to find anywhere else, and all the reviews are obviously jokes, so it's hard to know if this book is actually real!!! I have found a few articles saying there is a recipe for seafood with semen...I don't really understand how you could cook with it. You'd need an awful lot of it for a dish...I just don't get it. I don't think it's real. If you try to add it to your car on the LuLu page, it says 'This product is not available for purchase.' Hah!!! Even if the book isn't real, sperm does have some health benefits!!!! Health Bene

The 'Friends With Benefits' Phenomena

The new movie Friends With Benefits , starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, has got me thinking about the whole idea surrounding it. Can people truly be just friends with sexual benefits? Or does one person always end up becoming attached? This is not a cut-and-dry thing. A study by the National Center of Health Statistics (a branch of the CDC) published a report about their sexual findings in 2007. One problem with self-reported surveys is lying. A person might hype up their own sex life in a survey, or down play it. Regardless of these problems, the survey found that 29% of men have had 15 or more sexual partners, and that the average man sleeps with 7 women in his lifetime. So what does this mean? A person is most likely not going to have a deep, meaningful, lasting relationship with 15, or even just seven, others. This means that some of the sexual encounters were just plain hook-ups. So we know that two people can have sex once and leave it at that (Ignoring scientific da

Penis Sizes Around the World

I can't say exactly how reliable this is, but they have quite a lot of sources. Either way, it's fun and interesting. According to the information on this map, men in Ecuador have the largest (measured) penises at 6.9inches. Wow!!!!  United States Information: Of the world's penises, the United States comes in 98th overall. We have men with averages of 5.1 inches. So guys: How do you measure up????

Penile Fractures

 No guy wants to even think about anything happening to their 'little man.' But a penis can break. But don't worry, it's much like any other breaking body part--it will heal. That is, it will heal if you get help. Too many men might be embarrased, but would you rather be embarrassed over the fact that during sex you broke your penis, or that during sex later on you can't get hard because you now have erectile dysfunction? A penis can only 'break' while it is hard. During an erection, blood rushes through the penis. If it is bent or hit quite hard while in this state, the blood can break through one of two 'cylinders' in the penis. If this happens, it will make a loud 'popping' sound, and the penis will quickly turn colors. It will become bruised and red, and likely a large lump will appear. This is the pooling of blood underneath. If the urethra was damaged as well, sometimes the blood may appear at the opening on the head of the penis. Lo

Sex Mishaps

Sex can be fun and bonding, and for the most part, safe. But sometimes in the heat of the moment, people do weird things. Sometimes these things can end up becoming public knowledge if the person has to go to say, the emergency room. I scoped out some places on the inter-webs to find stories of funny sexual excursions gone wrong. Enjoy! And feel free to post your own ;) From  Cosmopolitan: ""I'll never forget the time an ambulance brought in a young slacker guy and his girlfriend. They had decided to get it on in his grandmother's basement while she was out of the house. They'd grabbed a tube of what they thought was lubricant from her well-stocked medicine cabinet. Unfortunately, it was nitroglycerin paste, a heart drug that can cause a potentially fatal drop in blood pressure. When Grandma came home, she found the couple lying on top of each other, unconscious and buck naked. They eventually came to after we gave them oxygen and fluids." From Cosmopoli

Menstrual Cups

Menstrual Cups are an awesome alternative to pads and tampons. Some people might think they are gross, but really, they are no more gross than any other product. They are a little cup that is inserted into the vagina and collects menstrual blood rather than soaking it up. Cups can be left in longer than tampons, and no TSS problems have been reported. When a cup needs to be changed, it can be pulled out by a little hose at the end ( or by gripping the sides of the disposable one), the blood dumped, rinsed and placed right back in! It's so handy, and while the price can be a little high ($20-$40, depending on where you buy them), they pay for themselves quickly. A box of pads or tampons is so expensive now that cups are such a great idea. They can be reused for years. Made of either rubber, silicone, or thermoplastic elastomer (plastic&rubber combo), they slip in pretty easily with a little bit of water. Be careful using any kind of lubricant--some kinds of lubricants can damage

'It Gets Better' Project

Dan Savage Dan Savage is a sex/relationship advice columnist ('Savage Love') and author. His weekly column, Savage Love, is very popular, along with his podcast. He and his partner, Terry, created a project called 'It Gets Better.' Basically, after a slew of teenagers committed suicide, Savage realized he wanted to do something to show lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and questioning teenagers (or really anyone of any age) that though it may seem hard right now, it does get better. People may taunt, or parents may not understand, but it won't be this hard forever. Tons of celebrities have jumped on the bandwagon to help push this project. Suicide is NOT the answer. Though things may seem hard, there is always someone who will talk to you, even if it's a stranger. Check out the videos, read the website/blog. And remember that you aren't alone--it DOES get better. It Gets Better YouTube Channel It Gets Better Website Savage Love Column Buy the book-- A

Sexual Health 101: Vulvodynia

The first topic I want to mention is Vulvodynia. It's something not a lot of people are aware of, unfortunately, despite the fact that "Estimates of women with vulvodynia range from 200,000 to 6 million." (women.webmd.com/vulvodynia). That's an awful lot of women to be suffering pain that most peole don't know about. Luckily though, there are more and more resources popping up. Vulvodynia is pain of the vulva. There are two different forms of it: Generalized Vulvodynia and Vulvar Vestibulitis Syndrome (Provoked Vulvodynia). I myself have the Generalized version, which is the one that is a bit more frustrating. That is pain with every part of the vaginal area--the labia, the opening to the canal, the clitoral area, etc. Compared to Provoked, which is just pain in the area of the opening of the vagina (the vestibule). Generalized Vulvodynia Vulvar Vestibulitis (Provoked) Because the knowledge of it is so low, diagnosis can take a long time, sometimes year

Introduction

Hi there!!! Thanks for finding my blog. My name is Scarlette. This blog is about sex--there are no boundaries. Sex is completely natural, and without it, we wouldn't be here. Therefore, it should be near the top of our lists as far as health, entertainment, and responsibilities go.

I will be posting anything I can find that will inform you about sex and everything to do with it, be it articles or other kinds of factual information regarding the subject. I also will post advice to your questions. Feel free to email me at askarlette@hotmail.com to ask for advice on anything sex or relationships. Disclaimer: I am not qualified in anyway. I have taken psychology courses and, due to my own health problems in the past, have done tons of reading and research on all things health and sex related. If I can't answer your question, I will attempt to turn you to someone who can, and if I c
