Well, What Have We Here, Friendly Onlooker?

A surprise in disguise. A rollicking good time packaged as a series of stories and commentary. That’s what I plan for you this week and every. I sure hope it comes off that way.

Here's a curveball: There's a theme to this particular newsletter. Put aside any Puritanical leanings and get into it.

First, let me share something private with you. Recently, for good reasons, there was plenty of talk in my house about what goes on between the sheets.

Not that performance was lacking.

Fortunately, I’ve had enough experience to know the post-intimacy smiles are completely authentic.

No, at this point in my life, it’s about rethinking sex. 

Most nights there’s teenaged offspring nearby. There's always a parade of decisions to ponder. And if I’m being honest with myself, the information age has had negative effects on heretofore pleasurable pursuits. (Note to self: keep that iPhone off the nightstand.) 

Alas, I know variety is the spice of life. And I’m nothing if not a human Viennese table.

When it comes to bedroom ballet, we live in a time and place with endless potential. If you can imagine it, you can enjoy it. No matter how unusual.

So the trick is simple.

Drop preconceptions. Forget the commonplace. And let mutual joy guide the way. 

I'm very confident the rest will be a lovely surprise.

Suggesting Sex-Centric Switches,
Sean
 

INTERNET OF SHWINGS
The World’s First Smart Condom
(Mildly NSFW)


If you didn’t see this coming (ahem), lo and behold. It’s called the i.Con. And while it looks like a tire for a toy truck, it’s actually a data-tracking condom. Well, condom ring, to be precise. It’s worn around a condom.

Guys, if you ever wondered about the quantity and velocity of your thrusts, this device will not only send that info to your smartphone, but allow you to share it with the world. Cure for cancer? Pshhh. Tech knows what’s important. :: Somewhere, an excited geek enters his love on a spreadsheet.

 DAVID BENATAR
Anti-Natalist Philosopher
 


Welp, this is a first. Highlighting a person I disagree with. But his views are so uncommon and thought-provoking, he deserves the spot, if only to notice the response to it. See, you and I believe life is worth living, despite the downs that come with the ups. 

But Professor Benatar (the head of philosophy at U. of Cape Town) thinks humans should stop procreating. For the good of the planet and — since we all suffer so much in this life — for our own good, too. No more sex, no more babies. :: There goes the biological imperative. 
Read this and let me know your reaction.
 

SEX AS HEALTH CARE
Inside the Orgasm Lab
(Slightly NSFW)


Perhaps the counter-argument to anti-natalism is using sex — specifically orgasm — more specifically, the meditative state that leads to orgasm — as a means to promote good health. Consider this: sex can treat depression, pain, sleep disorders, even arthritis. That’s what Dr. Nicole Prouse posits in her orgasm lab. 

Counterintuitively, however, the orgasm seems to be the result of such health-promoting characteristics, not the cause. ::

SEXY OR SCENERY?
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
Miss Universe National Costumes


What does Rio’s Carnival have in common with Vegas showgirls? You guessed it: gravity-defying costumes. Both ridiculous and awesome, they’re like wearing a parade float. And yet some see sexiness. 

At the recent Miss Universe pageant in the city of sin, the athletic grace to wear such a thing without toppling over was on full display. Can you imagine wearing this to work? ::

FURRIES & PANDAS & BREEDING, OH MY!
The Costumed Workers of China’s
Giant Panda Sanctuaries


“Researchers have been working for decades in the Wolong National Nature Reserve… to boost the numbers of giant pandas in captivity, and to reintroduce some of them into the wild.” 

Want to know how they do it? By fitting in with the black & white cuteness fully costumed. Talk about casual-wear Fridays. In a week where we learned about 
a pretty promiscuous panda, it’s interesting to see conservation bringing together animal sex and other bear necessities. :: See the photos.
