Red Light for XXX Domain
A plan for a new Internet domain exclusively for adult content, dot-xxx, has been put on hold, after George W. Bush’s administration expressed concern. Although the domain has the approval of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the American government fears the new domain would encourage more pornography on the web. The idea behind the dot-xxx domain was to make it easier for parents to filter out adult content unsuitable for minors. On the other side of the argument, net campaigners are worried that the creation of the new domain is merely a form of Internet censorship. According to the BBC, more than 10% of all on-line traffic and 25% of all Internet searches are for adult material.
Playboy on the Desk Top and in the School Bag
Playboy magazine is to launch a digital edition with this October’s issue. The website is scheduled to go live on September 13th, the same day the issue hits the shelves. While Playboy has been losing readership to rival publications such as Maxim and FHM, subsidiaries such as its TV station remain popular. A line of Playboy stationery aimed at schoolgirls has proved to be a big seller in Ireland. The stationery has caused controversy with both parents and teachers expressing shock that notepads, pencil cases and other back-to-school paraphernalia branded with the famous bunny logo are readily available in Eason’s and other well-known stores. At the time of writing, only Roche’s Stores had decided to drop the range.

Web
99 Erotic Notions is a web-based series of erotic stories and reveries by Hapax Legomenon. Written in the 1990s, Legomenon started publishing the stories in July 2003 with the idea to publish one ‘Erotic Notion’ for the next 99 months. The stories are not published chronologically, as the author has to take a non-linear approach. 99 Erotic Notions is Legomenon’s attempt to map the male erotic imagination and follows the tale of a young man writing his sexual fantasies to a woman named Lisa. The stories are not explicit and will appeal to those who prefer the erotica to have a literary leaning. If you sign up for the free email list, you’ll receive a monthly notice of the latest instalment. See >www.asstr.org/~99ernotions
Sexton’s Miscellany
Romance, the Irish Way
Johnson & Johnson, manufacturer of KY Jelly, recently released results of a survey of Irish attitudes to sex and romance. Here’s the lowdown:
Home is where the heart is.
Fifty two per cent of Irish adults reckon a special dinner at home is the best romantic setting, with 46% of us opening a bottle of wine to help the proceedings. 45% of us reckon that even without the tasty treats, home is the best place to create a sexy mood, although 17% of Irish males prefer an unusual place, such as an elevator.
Locker room tales.
One in two Irish adults are willing to talk about their sexual experiences to their friends. Although conventional wisdom suggests that women are more likely to spill the beans, Irish men trail only marginally behind. People in their 20s are more likely to share intimate details than older people.
Made for each other?
Oh dear! When it comes to relationships, men and women want different things. While 66% of Irish women want to get married, only 48% of Irish men feel the same. 20% of Irish men prefer casual relationships, while only 5% of Irish women do.
This week's top sex tip: The Lazy Cowgirl
The Lazy Cowgirl is the perfect position for a woman who likes to be on top but who doesn’t want to do all the work.
The woman sits on top of her partner, legs bent behind her with her chest lying on top of his. Instead of either partner using his or her pelvis to create motion, the man grips the woman’s buttocks and moves her up and down and squeezes her ass in and out.
Speed is the key factor: one reason this position works so well is that it’s easy to achieve sustained vigorous penetration, which most blokes would find extremely tiring to do if they were using a normal thrusting position. As the man is pulling his partner down, he can thrust into her for deeper penetration.
If the woman enjoys having her ass stimulated, then position the finger close to the anus. With the movement, the man’s finger will slide in and out. Lubricate for even better effect.
Because the woman is lying across the man’s chest, the penis is stimulating the vagina’s anterior wall where the G-spot is located. This usually helps the woman not only to achieve orgasm, but also to ejaculate.
Finally, the Lazy Cowgirl is a great position for men who sometimes suffer from premature ejaculation. Because of the speed, only the mid-section of the penis is rubbing against the walls of the vagina making it possible for the man to last longer. Unless of course the old arm muscles aren’t up to it!
