Pumping...Weights?
I’ll admit to a little bit of a fetish here that makes me totally relate to this next story: the gym can be one of the sexiest places around. Folks in the UK seem to concur, according to a new survey that shows that 25% of people have had sex at the place where they work out. It seems they’ve been getting their adrenaline going in other ways besides the weights and bikes. As noted, it makes sense that people might be more prone to arousal when their blood is flowing and pheromones are racing through the air. And gym clothes, oh my! Some of the gear out there is designed to impress and show off what you’ve been building. Physical activity can be an inspiring act, in more ways than one!

Turning the Page
Could this be a dawning of a new age? Perhaps the old boys' club of porn is shuffling out the door. In an age when print periodicals are struggling to remain viable, it is no surprise that Penthouse magazine is mothballing its print edition in favor of digital delivery. With the company struggling financially, it makes sense because print production is expensive. At the same time, it is refreshing to hear that Jacques, a feminist erotic magazine, is thriving. With defined values of body acceptance, diversity, and empowerment, founder Danielle Leder-Hettera proves that there is a market out there for hot erotic photography in magazine form - it just needs social value.
For the Pleasure, Not the Performance
What a refreshing view on mutual pleasure! Malin James explores the "feedback loop" of cock sucking and offers an eloquent and reasoned rebuttal to all of those advice columns that put fellatio (and other sex) into the performative sphere. When you think of sex as something to perform on someone, because they’ll like it, you take away the idea that sex is a joined activity, where the two (or more) of you form a little community of pleasure. This disconnect doesn’t just apply to cock sucking, but this particular act sure is the one that's most frequently cited. Suck cock because you like it and derive pleasure from it. That will be the most important feeling to resonate back to the person receiving the sensation. Every little tongue twist or lip move is just window dressing.
