Sex Life

Next time your little man isn't cooperating, you may want to reach for some juicy watermelon. Researchers have discovered that the juicy red fruit can affect your body much like Viagra does. 

Watermelons contain an ingredient called citrulline that creates a compound to relax the body's blood vessels. This is similar to what happens when a man takes Viagra, say scientists in Texas. Citrulline reacts with the body's enzymes if consumed in large quantities and changes into arginine, which benefits the heart and the circulatory and immune systems.

"Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and maybe even prevent it," said Bhimu Patil, a researcher and director of Texas A&M's Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center. "Watermelon may not be as organ-specific as Viagra, but it's a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side effects."

The down side: all those extra trips to the restroom. (A bonus for anyone into watersports.)

Finally, a dildo Al Gore would approve of! The Eco-Dildo is a finely crafted toy created by hand from renewable sources (ie wood).

According to its creator, Blissboxtoys, " the Eco-Dildo is made from natural and sustainable materials, rather than plastic, so your pleasure will never end.

What’s more, for each Eco-Dildo purchased www.Blissboxtoys.com will plant a Willow bush and issue you a personalised certificate. The fact that you use green sex toys will be immortalized forever!

Each Eco-Dildo "is subjected to a real grinding and then polished to make it silky smooth. After receiving a good licking of protective finish, the new playmate is kept safe and protected in a handmade fabric pouch."

It doesn't come cheap; one will cost you almost $100. Does it come with a no splinter guarantee?

Okay, you've just busted a nut. You're covered in a thick white mess. It's on your stomach. Maybe some landed on your chest. And if you're like us, you shot over your head and into the next room.

Now what?  

If you're XTube star Forever18 (a.k.a. Giovanni Summers from CityBoyz) you lick yourself clean.

New findings by a group of Australian researchers reveal that men can reduce their chances of developing prostate cancer by masturbating more often. 

After questioning 2,250 men about their sexual habits, and comparing the findings between participants with and without prostate cancer researchers were able to deduce that those who habitually spanked the monkey between the ages of 20 and 50 were least likely to develop the disease.

This contradicts earlier research that suggested more sexually active men had a greater risk of getting prostate cancer. However, the Australian investigators think the original findings failed to divide sexual activity between masturbation and intercourse. In the case of intercourse men are more likely to be exposed to a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) which increases the chance of developing cancer.

The researchers suggest that ejaculating may prevent carcinogens from accumulating in the prostate gland. 

One doctor explained that "it's a prostatic stagnation hypothesis. The more you flush the ducts out, the less there is to hang around and damage the cells that line them."

So bust a nut, boys! You could be saving your life.

When you go to the hospital you don't expect your visit to be videotaped and released on YouTube. This is especially true when you're there to remove a 6 inch spray canister from your bum. But that's what happened in the Philippines when a male patient was operated on to dislodge the foreign object from his love canal.

After a three-minute video appeared on YouTube, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III ordered an investigation into a group of unnamed doctors and a nurse, who were filmed on January 3 "laughing, giggling and cheering" as they freed the paint canister.

When the spray paint was removed, one person announced "Baby out!"

The hospital acknowledged that "some acts (caught on video) were already in violation of some hospital policies."

The 39-year-old patient's lawyer, Guiller Ceniza, said: "We are not satisfied with the proceedings conducted by the hospital. All the while we thought that they were conducting an administrative proceeding... to impose sanctions but what turned out was merely a fact-finding inquiry."

The whole ordeal started with a New Year's Eve drinking binge, but the patient claims he was "too drunk to remember how [it] ended up in his body."

He only realized it was there after a series of colorful farts ...

Cock rings are relatively simple sexual aids, amounting to nothing more than a ring of rubber, silicone, metal, or leather.

They are designed to keep an erect penis harder and bigger for a longer period of time, while delaying and thereby heightening a man's orgasm. It does so by wrapping tightly about the base of the cock and keeping the blood in the shaft of the penis. (Too tight, however, and your cock will turn a gorgeous, but dangerous, shade of blue.)

The first documented use of the cock ring can be traced back to China. Men would use a goats' eyelids to give their cocks a more plump appearance. And if the eyelashes stayed on, it offered extra stimulation for a man's sexual partner.

The reasons for wearing a cock ring are varied.  Some men wear them to help with erection difficulties, while others enjoy the feeling of tightness around --  and extra thickness in -- the shaft. Models hoping to make their package look a little bigger will also slip one on before doing a photo shoot. 

Be careful, though...

French porn producer, Citebeur, has entered the fight to promote safer sex with a new Web-based video series. Called "Boris et Nadir," the show emphasizes the importance of remembering a condom, especially when you may not be in the most positive frame of mind (such as depressed or taking drugs).

As an added bonus, Citebeur performers appear in each of the episodes.

"It's already drawing massive attention in France and will be released on French TV," sales manager Nick Gardner said.

Three episodes are planned. Episode 1 is currently available online, with two more being released on March 21 and March 28. The first one was a little tame, so we're hoping things heat up in the coming weeks. Check it out.

We've finally tracked down a photo of the sex position Diesel Washington created for his latest Titan flick, "Telescope." It doesn't look very comfortable, but it may help with your posture. 

"The 'Bully' is a version of the 'reverse cowboy'," Diesel told The Sword. "It's done standing up with the bottom's back facing [the top]. The top places his arms underneath the bottom's arms and locks him into a headlock position, lifts him off his feet, and then the bottom can be pounded off the ground with his arms above his head, and his legs wrapped around [the top's] waist. It takes a lot of strength to do it, and it takes even more strength to do it well."

We'd probably break our necks trying this one out...

Let's face it: anal sex is an acquired taste. And just because you're gay doesn't mean you like taking it up the bum. It can hurt and it will certainly feel a little weird the first time. That said, it can open you up to sensations that are as wonderful as they are intense. 

If nothing has ever slipped passed your sphincter, shoving a dick up there is not the best first step. After you've gone to the bathroom (you know what we mean) run a warm bath to help you relax. While laying back in the water you can start exploring your bum with your fingers. No need to push inside yet; you'll want to use some lube for that! Just enjoy the feeling of the outside of your rosebud being played with.

Once you hop out of the bath and dry yourself off, head to your bed with a towel. Covering your anus and finger with a liberal amount of lube, explore your ass a little more aggressively by slipping your finger inside. You can move your finger in circles, pump it in and out, and even dig around inside of your hole to see how different amounts of pressure, and different positions, result in unique sensations.

And it gets better...

There is a new online web series that aims to help gay guys make safer choices when having sex. Called "In the Moment" the videos focus on a group of gay men living in the same apartment building in West Hollywood, California.

"Like most of us," the site explains,"they're faced with a huge range of decisions about sex, and the decisions they make impact their lives and the lives of people around them. 'In The Moment' is also about starting an open, honest conversation among gay guys."

The best thing about the site is that it allows viewers to answer questions posed by the characters, from when it is okay for guys in a relationship to stop using condoms to whether or not one spends too much time online looking for sex.

The videos were created by WeHo LIFE. They provide "information and opportunities for individuals to learn, support and encourage healthy living with an emphasis on HIV prevention."

It happens to everyone.  Sex with your partner, even hot do-it-in-every-room sex, can become a little routine. He sucks you. You pinch his nipple. He asks, "Who's your daddy?" You both laugh. He cums. You cum. And it's all over in 4.34 minutes.

Time for a little spice. And no, this won't cost you a cent.

One of the easiest, and quickest, ways to make sex more exciting is by blindfolding your partner. Anything will do, such as a silk tie or thin towel. If you like to play a little dirty, you can even use your underwear. (And no, your thong won't work!) All that matters is that he can see as little as possible.

First, surprise him. Gently place the blindfold around his eyes while kissing him on the cheek and telling him he can't take it off. Then lead him to the bedroom, helping him out of his clothing and laying him back onto the bed. Now the real fun can begin...

From women's used panties in vending machines to penis shaped ice cream, you can find almost anything in Japan (except, of course, chest hair). And now Tenga, a company devoted to making naughty gadgets for horny adults, has created a device to make masturbation even more pleasurable than it already is. Is that possible?

The "onanism cups" promise men five "never before experienced sexual sensations." You can choose from the Deep Throat Cup, Soft Tube Cup, Rolling Head Cup, Air Cushion Cup, or the ultra-hot Double Hole Cup.

The downside? These unique cum receptacles are only available in Japan. Oh, and you should only use them once as the company discourages rinsing them out. Just be careful you don't mistake one for a Cup-a-Soup. [more]
