SUED FOR SEXUAL REVELATIONS
Former US Senate aide, Jessica Cutler, is being sued for US$20 million by an ex-lover, Robert Steinbuch, for discussing intimate details about their sex life in her online diary. Cutler claims she created her ‘Washingtonienne’ blog to keep friends up to date with her social life. However, when the editor of the popular gossip website Wonkette.com, discovered Cutler’s blog and linked to it, Culter’s private revelations became very public indeed, making the front pages of several newspapers. If you are one of the many people who blog or share details about your life on-line, you might want to think carefully before you reveal too much.
HUBBA BUBBA BUBBLE BABA
It’s a weird idea to begin with – towards the end of each year, Russia holds the Bubble Baba Challenge in which contestants swim the icy cold Vuoksa River near St. Petersburg along with a blow-up doll. The high winds and river currents make holding onto the inflatable friend somewhat difficult and the 2006 champ, Igor Osipov, was the only contestant to cross the finish line with his doll. Osipov claimed he had a great desire to win, but judges noticing the odd position of his blow-up doll inspected it and saw that Osipov had been doing more than just swimming with his doll. Osipov not only was disqualified from the race, but the judges decided he was guilty of the sexual abuse of the equipment as well.
THE RISE AND RISE OF THE HOT MOMMAS
It just goes to show – you are never too old to change career or to be a sex symbol. When De’Bella turned 50 she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a porn star. While actresses of this age are a rarity in the adult industry, this is changing. Viagra, the ageing of the baby boomers and improved health and beauty in older people are all contributing to the graying of porn and the mature genre represents one of the fastest growing areas of video pornography, according to adult distributors and retailers. This January will see mature performers inaugurated as a special category at the Adult Video Network (AVN) Awards, the Oscars of porn.

This fortnight's top sex tip
ples in relationships can find that their sex life has gotten into a rut because they know each other so well sexually that they stop communicating or making an effort. A sex wish list is a great way to put some fun back into your sex life. Here is what you do.
Sit down together and draw up a couple’s sex wish list. Your list can be as mild or a kinky as you like, as long as you are both keen – of course, that doesn’t preclude a bit of adventurous experimentation on either side. Any of the following headings can be a useful reference point:
Type of foreplay you want more of
Positions to try
Sex toys or sex games to try
Role-playing games
Fantasies to be fulfilled
Kinky sex acts to try
Writing the list is a way of reminding both of you about the various ways to enjoy sex – and of opening up discussion on the things that you are curious about and would like to explore. And in case it all sounds a bit like homework, remember that writing down a list of your favourite sexual activities can be a real turn-on in itself!
