So there is this new “feminine hygiene” product that resembles a diaphragm. The product, called Instead, claims it can be worn for a extended period of time (get it?), and that you can have sex on it without any “feminine mess” getting between/on you or your partner (depending on angle, vigor, etc).

Sounds interesting. I’m wondering if they could design something like this that could also act as birth control. That would be pure brilliance.

So this fiber optic clothing is an interesting trend. Can you imagine running into someone on ecstasy or acid while wearing this shirt? You’d never be able to shake them. Then again this is a definitive way to get the attention of that hot bass player who plays in that one dark, crowded bar.

The pillow is much less amusing, and much more cheesy, but they would make excellent night-lights. Just think, you need to find the bathroom you could just pick up a pillow and let it guide the way.

So how come no one has made underwear out of this stuff yet? Is it really fiber-optic or radioactive?

It seems like just yesterday that women tended to be so embarrassed of their anatomy that they were shocked at its appearance. Now, it is going under the knife, and is the object of newer plastic surgeries.

The hymen restoration has obvious cultural effects. It is a way for a girl who has had sex prior to marriage be able to “restore” the virgin status for marriage purposes.

Vulvoplasty is by far the most popular. It removes unwanted fat and skin around the vagina. This one seems the most reasonable to me, as I could see how aging may make a woman want to restore her parts previous perk.

Finally there is g-spot enhancement. They insert the area with collagen. Honestly, if a lover can’t find it beforehand, I find it hard to believe they’re really trying. Surgery can’t fix that.

I guess my reaction to all of this is that it seems highly unnecessary. Then again, isn’t plastic surgery all about the unnecessary? It is a bit worrisome that we just came to terms with our genitals and we automatically want to ad “improvements.” This leads me to wonder if it is in female nature tio seek perfection, or if it is pressed on us by society.

Like everything else, it is probably a combination of the two. Yet I can’t help but wonder about scars . . .
I think I’ll stick to tattoos.

After years of women suffering spinal cord injuries claiming they could still orgasm, and being told by doctors they could not, it has been proven they can. It appears that the traditional notion that all the nerves from the nether region to the brain lie along the spinal column is false. This in turn suggests that there is a nerve network between the vagina and the brain through the abdomen. So maybe sex really does have a direct relation to a woman’s heart.

The study also found that orgasms release the crucial O in the female brain, as in oxygen.

Gives a whole new meaning to the name of that female TV channel Oxygen, doesn’t it?

Japan is nuts. They are hypo-sexualized, raw-fish eating, overpopulated, over-animated oddities that are really only comparable in cultural bizarreness to the Germans. Japanimation vs. Shit Porn, that would be an interesting match.

Yet this new law, encouraging chastity, the Japanese shot-down on the basis that it is sexist impresses me. They claim, and most rightfully so, that teaching abstinence puts all the responsibility, and guilt should a pregnancy occur, on the female while men get off the hook with too much ease. Yeah! That gets Japan 1 million points in my book, though I still believe man found fire to cook dead animals, like fish.

On the other hand, here in the good old U.S. of A. a man has been charged with Disorderly Conduct for kissing a woman without being solicited to do so. So a guy is now going to always have to ask? Wow, how romantic. Does the A. in U.S. of A. now stand for ass, as in “making an ass of ourselves?”
