Happy National Masturbation Month/International Clitoris Awareness Week!

Hey everyone!

                                    Jonah Falcon & Adam Barta's music video, 'It's Too Big.'


It's been a really long time since I've written in here, and that is just not okay! Seems like we're finally getting some nice weather across the states here, and so I've been busy enjoying that and what not. I hope you all have, too. May is a time for warm weather. School lets out, and people start planning their summers. The only things I was aware of that happen in the month of May is the first as May Day and the last week being Memorial Day. But! I just found out that May is National Masturbation Month AND the week of May 6th-12th is International Clitoris Awareness Week!

How awesome is that? The fact that these things are even being widely recognized is a huge step in normalizing sexuality in our culture, which is so refreshing. Philadelphia is even hosting a Masturbate-A-Thon. Basically, participants find sponsors who will pay them for every hour they pleasure themselves, just like one of those walk-a-thon things. It's actually a very philanthropic endeavor--the funds all go to local sexual education groups ScrewSmart and GALAEI's PleasureRush! They will have a site you can log into, CrowdRise.com, where you can log your 'activity,' keep an online journal, post photos, and talk with others. Of course, sex can bring out deep, dark sides of ourselves, and there's bound to be some people who are abusing this idea, but for the most part, it's a great idea. Say what you will, but most people masturbate. It's extremely healthy, and can be a great way to learn about yourself or as a way to abstain from other forms of sexual expression in a relationship. How did this come about, though?




"The idea for National Masturbation month came from the good folks at Good Vibes in San Francisco, who, way back in 1995, protested the firing of Dr. Jocelyn Elders, who suggested that masturbation be included as part of comprehensive sexuality education. Masturbation is still seen as taboo so we are hoping that by having folks participate in the Masturbate-a-Thon, that they will help to destigmatize the behavior — and reduce stress and get a glowing complexion all the while."
-GALAEI (Gay & Lesbian Latino AIDS Education Initiative) Executive Director Elica Gonzales.


After the month ends on May 30th, CREAMIUM! will be held, a “live debaucherous game show/dance party that tests participant’s knowledge of all things sexual.” The only problem I have with all of this is that I am not going to be there for all of the fun festivities!!

Anatomy of the external female genitalia
Now, 'International Clitoris Week.' This is great for a lot of reasons. The main one being the one-sided focus of sexuality in our world's history. Sex has always been important, for procreation and pleasure. But the penis has always been such an iconic sexual symbol. Everyone knows what they look like, how to "access" them, if you will, and for the most part, what it takes to make them work. Men are historically and usually, physically, dominant, and therefore we tend to give sexual power to them, socially, mentally, physically, and verbally. If a man enjoys sex and takes a lot of Cosmo, anyone?), but where are these things for women? This week, familiarize yourself with the female genitalia. It's not difficult, and it's not anymore beautiful or ugly than the males'. Focus on your partner's pleasure. Play with it. Lick it. Stroke it. Use a toy on it. Anything. Just think of the rest of the year as time to appreciate the penis, because that's pretty much how it is. This week, hand it to the women. Lesbian women, this is not so much for you, because I would hope that if you have one yourself, you know how to find and properly stimulate the clit. Also, remember that, just like penises, every clit is different. Some girls don't like it stimulated. Some can't orgasm without touching it (as a matter of fact, most women can't orgasm without stimulating their clitoris in addition to penetration). Some like it handled rough, and some prefer it gentle. Generally, the further into sexual play you are, the more it can handle. But make sure you are practicing consent in everything you do, all the time.
Jay IS the CLIT commander.
wives, it's more widely accepted (even religious in some areas). But if a woman enjoys sex and takes a lot of husbands, she's considered a 'slut' and guilty of unlawful actions. This isn't fair, and neither is the fairly common belief that most men don't know where the clitoris is. Come on, guys. If you're mature enough to jerk it to those beautiful woman on the screen, at least know what you should be jerkin' it to. We have books, websites and magazines on how to pleasure a man (

Last thing I wanted to talk about. There is a man (currently living) who has the world's largest, record-setting penis. It is 13.5 inches. Thirteen and a half inches. Just think about that for a minute.
Jonah Falcon. This man has something you could never get.
What do you think about when the news says we'll be getting over a foot of snow? The average penis size is about 5.5 inches. This man's dick is damn near a foot BIGGER than that! And, the best part (in my opinion), is that his name is Jonah Falcon. How badass of a name is that?! It's awesome! I once saw him on an episode of Strange Sex, but he just made a music video with someone named Adam Barta, and it's called, 'It's Too Big.' It's hilarious. Watch it now, it's at the top of this post!



That's all for today, I think. I am going to try and update this more again (I know, I say that every time and rarely deliver, sorry :/). BUT! I bought the domain name for my blog, so www.the-sexkitten.com will be up fairly soon. Keep checking for updates and I'll let you know! Thanks guys :)

Why do you want to be a sex therapist?

Hey all!! I've decided to do an update for you. I hope you all enjoyed my interview with Josh. It was super entertaining and informative for me. Personally, I am monogamous, but I find the idea of non-monogamy fascinating. I do have another interview to post soon with a woman in a similar situation. She is married, yet both her and her husband have a couple of significant others outside of the marriage!! Her stories are pretty crazy, so make sure you stop by to check that out. Now, a lot of you haven't read this blog from the beginning and therefore may not know some stuff about me. I get asked a lot why I want to go into this field. The answer is because I suffered for several years to get answers and information about my own body, and I wish that things like that could be much more obtainable. I got my period when I was 11. I didn't know anything about it and I was too afraid to talk to my mom. I cried myself to sleep and thought something was wrong with me. Through...

Five Freebies List.

The holidays were very busy for me, and as a result, I got away from my blog :(. But to my surprise, my views have stayed pretty steady, so thank you so much!!! To ease me back into working on it, I'm doing a fun little post. I was watching Friends the other night when Chandler brings up a 'list' that he and his girlfriend have together. (Here is a link to the video: Friends - Freebie list.    It wasn't posting on here for some reason!) It's a list of five celebrities that you would be allowed to sleep with, while still dating your partner, if you ever get the chance. I found this funny because my boyfriend and I have talked about this before. So, just for fun, here's my list (in no particular order)!!!! 1. Heath Ledger. Candy, 10 Things I Hate About You, Casanova, The Dark Night, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Brokeback Mountain, etc. This man is, to me, the sexiest man who ever lived. It is very upsetting to me that he is no longer here, because I...

Five Freebies List--Female Version.

So, I decided to make a list of my five freebies that I would pick, but this time, just girl celebrities. It's easy to have girl crushes--girls are so pretty. The ones I have on my list are hot, but I'd love to look like them too. Again, no particular order. 1. Emma Stone Zombieland, Easy A, Crazy Stupid Love, Friends with Benefits, etc. With a head of fire (though she pulls off any color hair) and a smoky voice, how does everyone not think she's beautiful? Not to mention she's a great actress and has a good sense of humor. And she's only 23!!!! 2. Anna Paquin http://www.trueblood-news.com/anna-paquin-beautiful-mind The Piano, Fly Away Home, Scream 4, X-Men, True Blood, etc. She plays my favorite character from a book, and she does it wonderfully. She portrays a sweet southern girl so well that she makes me want to move down there and be one myself. Plus that episode where Sookie appeals to Eric & Bill in that sexy red lingerie? Yum. Not to mention th...
