I liked him the instant I saw him. he hadnt even noticed me. But I soon changed that. I made sure to get his attention any way I could when we worked together. some- times I would sack groceries next to him and strike up a conversation. sometimes it was more extreme, like poking him or even tripping him when he walked by (I was only a sophomore in high school, so give me a break). After a little while, he fnally started responding. he began sacking next to me and striking up conversations. he started tripping and poking me, too. It was a beautiful thing, in- deed. I had succeeded. Even after I was promoted to cashier, we still found ways to firt. He would poke me with a long roll of foil. I would suggest the customer choose paper bags instead of plas- tic (because sackers hate sacking in paper). This was a great tactic when the chase was on, but now that were dating, all this has taught us is how to piss each other off. check out Diannes personal essay on pg. 23 about her own experience with love in the workplace. spoiler alert: It is so damn cute. lDani hurst, editor On the cover: Photo Illustration/Brenna hawley play contact health notice manual feature speak reviews from a distance why some students choose abstinence timing is everything one writer dishes about finding love on the job casual dining, serious dating who loves em, who hates em condoms unwrapped 09 04 17 16 S A T U R D A Y F R I D A Y William Allen White Day Honoring Journalist Seymour Hersh.

He brought back the British skinny-jean fashion, a penchant for eating only vegetables, and a relationship that had never felt so perfect. The only problem is his boyfriend is now 5,000 miles away. The last day Weideman, Omaha, Neb., senior, saw his boyfriend, Andy, was Jan. 7 at London Heathrow Airport. Andy dropped him off and they said their goodbyes. Both cried, but they agreed to somehow make it work. Since then, they have found ways to keep in touch through Skype, a software program that allows users to make free telephone calls over the Internet. The couple also communicates through Facebook, e-mail or sometimes on the phone, and Weideman says they have interaction of some sort every day. Of course, their relationship isnt exactly easy, especially because of the six-hour time difference. For me, the most frustrating time is when I know I want to call him and I cant do it. Especially when I cant drunk-dial him, because Im the king of drunk-dialing, Weideman says. Caroline Adolffsson, Halmstad, Sweden senior, shares similar frustrations. She is studying in Lawrence for a semester, and before arriving at KU, Adolffson lived with her boyfriend of four years, but now the two only get to talk once a week on Skype and sometimes through text messages. Whats most frustrating, Adolffson says, is that she and her boyfriend cant fully eliminate distractions, even during their once-a- week conversation. I think our situation is a lot easier, though, because weve known each other for so long, and we trust each other, Adolffson said. Larry James, professional speaker, author and relationship coach, says the key to a long-distance relationship is the couples trust in each other. You cant have intimacy in a relationship unless you have absolute trust frst, James says. If theres suspicions about what each other is doing, then it wont work. Christine Maxwell, Overland Park senior, has faced the diffculties of a long-distance relationship since her boyfriend moved to Seattle when he graduated almost a year ago. Maxwell and her boyfriend started dating when she was a freshman and he was a sophomore at the University. They used to see each other almost every day. Now, they see each other only every four to six weeks. All three students, of course, miss the cuddling, the phone calls and the face-to-face interaction that come with relationships in which distance isnt a big factor, but theyve found ways to make their situations work by still communicating with their better halves. The No. 1 problem in a relationship is a lack of communication, James says, If something annoys you more than once or twice, you better talk about it. James says that a long-distance relationship can be positive, though, because the couple has an opportunity to grow together while theyre apart with the hope of eventually being together. You have to have the willingness to be together, but the courage to be apart, James says. Weideman says he mainly misses the things he used to take for granted, such as playing Guitar Hero with his boyfriend or waiting at the bus stop together. Im trying to be more easygoing, Weideman says. Its a good thing to not always get whatever I want whenever I want it. All three students say they will eventually be reunited with their signifcant others. Weideman plans to move to England for work (and now for his boyfriend) soon after he graduates. Adolffson will get to see her boyfriend again mid-May after her studying in Lawrence is done, and Maxwell plans to move to Seattle after she graduates. For now, though,Weideman says he can appreciate just a two-line Facebook message from his boyfriend in the morning to make his day a little better. After all, its the little things that keep his relationship going, and in any relationship, thats usually all it takes. 04 02.07.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 19 for more information: www.longdistancerelationships.net contact photo illlustration by: Alex Bonham-Carter You have to have the willingness to be together, but the courage to be apart.

Whats the most difficult thing youve had to film? What is the best music to have in your films? Who are the biggest influences in your life? Tyler Noah Overland Park senior and flm student Bill Fisher award-winning adult flm director l Jessie Fetterling 5 questions The hardest is to fnd girls who have families that are okay with them being in the industry. The easiest thing is going to work every day knowing that my job is to get girls naked. I started as a photographer and then got into video, starting my own flm company. While I was shooting a TV show with Dennis Rodman, I met Jenna Jameson and she wanted me to start shooting adult flms. Ive had my business for 15 years, but Ive only shot adult flms for four. I personally dont like anal scenes. Also, one time, I had to stand in a pool up to my waist in water, and I had to have a specifc light on my camera that plugged into the wall. Every time I took a shot I got electrocuted. I like everything. I make the music go along with whatever genre the flms are. My father was a huge infuence and his best friend, Helmut Nuton. Helmut was a photographer that my father made me work for a lot during the summer when I was 14. He showed me a lot of stuff about photography that I never appreciated until I got into the industry. The hardest is getting the classes you want because its a program on the rise. The easiest thing is that its a major where I can defnitely do what I like to do. Its something you wouldnt have gotten to enjoy as much in high school. I always liked movies growing up as a kid. I got a camera when I tore my ACL, and I began flming my friends that skateboard a lot. Snow boarding in zero-degree weather with no gloves and no boots. Im a sucker for early 90s alterna- tive music that people dont hear that often anymore. In the skateboarding industry, Ty Ev- ans and Frank Mortagne. They kind of set the standard for the skateboarding video today. Brad Bird is the director and screenwriter of the Incredibles and Ratatouille. I respect him, too, because he is bringing back classic pure-hearted entertainment that makes you fall in love with the characters. contact the writer: jfetterling@kansan.com Nothing says I love you (and the Earth) like a Valentines Day full of organic massage oils, a box of fair trade chocolates and a bottle of locally produced wine. Even though most people dont think about keeping the environment clean before doing the dirty, spending a little extra time choosing more environmentally friendly products is worth the delay. Some sex toys and dildos contain chemicals called phthalates, which makes hard plastics like PVC softer and gives a jelly-like feeling. But phthalates are endocrine disruptors, which means the chemicals mimic hormones and do damage to sex organs. The European Union has banned the use of phthalates in childrens toys since 2004. According to www.treehugger.com, a surefre warning sign is a disclaimer that you might fnd on sex toy packages that say that the device should be used for novelty purposes only. To avoid the more dangerous end of the chemical spectrum, look for sex toys and dildos that are made from hard plastics, silicon, metal or glass. As with all your purchases, try to fnd products that are labeled natural or organic. Steer clear from petroleum-based products and anything with artifcial scents, favors and colors. Find products that are sexy but durable and rechargeable. Although these products might be more expensive initially, you get more bangs for your buck in the long run. Unfortunately, there are not many green products available locallyboth Richard Osburn, the owner of Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St, and Holly Kirkpatrick, manager of Priscillas, 1206 W 23rd St., say they did not carry any specifcally environmentally friendly productsbut a quick Google search should satisfy your green spot. Latex and lambskin condoms are generally thought to be biodegradable, but polyurethane condoms are basically plastic, which does not biodegrade and creates more landfll waste. Still, the best green love option available is to fnd someone who isnt going to fuck over you or the planet. For single ecosexuals, there are several online dating sites that promise to hook you up with your green soul mate. One of the oldest green dating sites is www. greensingles.com, which frst started out as a postal newsletter in 1985. Lee Schulman, president of GreenMatch LLC, says the site has just over 14,000 members with 800 new members each month. Schulman says that GreenSingles was created as a place for progressive singles in the environmental, vegetarian and animal rights community and other green singles who love the outdoors, holistic living, personal growth and spirituality to meet up and network for friendship, dating, romance and the exchange of information and ideas. Other dating Web sites for the environmentally friendly include www.green-passions.com, www.human2human.com, and www.veggieromance.com. Of course, theres always the Lawrence Farmers Market, the Wal-Mart Recycling Center, Critical Mass gatherings or the produce department at the Merc to fnd that special someone, too. greening it your guide to greener living 06 02.07.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 19 Contact the writer: lkeith@kansan.com interesting fact: A mans beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex. www.ioframe.com manual By Lauren Keith Green sex toys: www.eartherotics.com 100 percent certifed organic massage oils www.northernnaturals.com Fair trade chocolate www.gxonlinestore.org Locally produced wine Kuglers Vineyard 1235 N 1100 Rd., Lawrence Davenport Orchards & Winery 1394 E. 1900 Rd., Eudora www.davenportwinery.com/wines.shtml Latex or lambskin condoms: Available at Priscillas and at most drug stores A Greener Valentines Day Duet $11.95 Duet $11.95 Perfect Pair Perfect Pair 07 02.07.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 19 interesting fact: When men of the Walibri tribe of central Australia greet each other, they shake penises instead of hands. www.lilith-ezine.com These panTies are personalized in your favoriTe candy or flavor. DIY: edible underwear Add a little spice to your sex life by dressing up in something that can be lickedor eatenright off you. Edible underwear is not known for its excellent taste, though. It was gross. Seriously it tasted like stale twizzlers, says Katie Eads, Kansas State alumnus. Why not make the experience taste good? Pick up your favorite fruity candy and fashion a pair of your own for $5 or less. I began by unwrapping and laying out Starbursts on wax paper. Place the candies in an upside down triangle formation one layer thick. This will make the front of the panties. Use a variety of colors or create a pattern for a vibrant look. Make the layout slightly smaller than will ft. Once all of the candies are laid out, place the wax paper in the microwave for 30 seconds. After microwaving, the Starbursts should be warm and soft. Using a rolling pin, slowly applying only a little pressure, roll out the candies to smash them together and make the underwear the size you need it. Make the back of the under- wear using the same method. Next, fashion the sides out of Twiz- zlers. I used strings from the pull-and- peels and wove them together in an under, over pattern to make the panty strings. Lift the top corner of the underwear and slide the end of the Twizzlers underneath. Stick everything back in the microwave for 10 seconds. Press the Starbursts frmly onto the Twizzlers to glue them together. Do the same to attach the Twizzler sides to the back of the underwear. Place everything in the refrigerator for a few minutes to harden the candy. Try using whatever candy you enjoy most. Eads even suggested using string or thread and Froot Loops for a crunchier pair. l Peyton Baldwin contact the writer: pbaldwin@kansan.com Open 9 am - 2 am Daily Thursdays $3.00 Double Wells $3.50 Bombs $5.00 Double Grey Goose 18 Tables (Unlimited Balls) Fri. & Sat. $3.75 pitchers $1.00 Tube Shots 601 Kasold (785) 749-7699 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 ) 7777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777774444444444444444444444444444444499999---777776666699999999999 (785) (785) 7777777777777777777777 99999 77777 ) 7777777777777777777777777777777777744499999 77777 999999999 666666666666999999999999999999 We rack our balls for You Sweetheart of a Deal 4000 w. 6th (Hyvee Shopping Center) Call 785 (856-2646) Walk-ins welcome! 1/2 Hurry!

You start kissing, things get progressively heated, clothes start coming off, and youre anticipating a pleasurable experience. At this moment, you have an important decision to make: condom or no condom? What makes a person say, Yes, condom or No, no condom tonight? Some students say it all just depends on how well you and your partner know each other. Jimmy Shelite, Medicine Lodge senior, says he always uses a condom when hes with a girl for the frst time. Once he gets to know the girl and knows she doesnt have any sexually transmitted diseases, he says he stops using condoms. Jessica Phan, Overland Park senior, also says that knowing someone makes a difference. She says she almost always uses condoms, unless she is in a monogamous relationship and both she and her partner have been tested for STDs. But even then, Phan says, she prefers to use them because they make her feel safe. She says she likes having that peace of mind and knowing that she is taking care of herself. Fear of unwanted pregnancy and contracting diseases keeps people reaching for those boxes in nightstands and underwear drawers. Torie Kim, Overland Park senior, says that since she switched to birth control pills from the birth control shot Depo-Provera, she has become more insistent on using condoms. Kim says the pills effectiveness depends on so many factorslike the time of day she takes itthat she always wants to have a back-up method of birth control. Kim says that she likes and usually uses Trojan Ultra Thin condoms, and although she admits that condoms can be a hassle, protection against pregnancy and STDs trumps any inconvenience. Daytha Lindburg, a physicians assistant in obstetrics and gynecology at Mowery Clinic in Salina, highly recommends using condoms as a method of STD prevention. She says that even women who use birth control should still use condoms to ensure that they will not spread or contract diseases and infections. Most students can agree that condoms serve an excellent purpose, so what makes them so inconvenient? Why do some couples opt to leave condoms out of romance? Shelite says he simply dislikes the feel of condoms. It isnt real, he says. It feels like there is too much between me and the girl. He says that some condoms tend to dry up, which kills the mood and usually brings sex to an early and unwanted end. But, if he has to wear one, Shelites condom of choice is Trojan. Phan stresses the necessity of lubrication with condoms. She says she sees how its uncomfortable for a guy to wear one, but she also says girls can up the arousal factor by putting the condom on for him. Phan prefers to use Trojan Magnum condoms with warming sensation, but only if the size is comparable to the product, she says. Lindburg says that when in need of lubrication, you should never use Vaseline because it tends to weaken the latex in the condom and increase the risk of a ruptured rubber. According to Lindburg, the best lube solutions are personal lubricants, such as KY, or lubricated condoms. And, though many students cite pregnancy prevention as their main motivation for using condoms, Lindburg says that condoms are not the most effective method of birth control. Its kind of like playing Russian roulette, she says. They can break or leak. Some men and women can have trouble with condoms because of latex allergies, Lindburg says, but condom companies have accommodated by making latex-free products, which are usually made of lamb skin. Lindberg also says that condoms with spermicidal lubricant can cause bladder infections in females, so women should consider avoiding them. Bottom line: Couples should work together to fnd their ideal method of protection. Its all about preference. You have to kind of play around and fnd out what works and doesnt work for you, Lindburg says. So try some clear, some pink, some warming, some extended pleasure, some twisted pleasure. Create your own condom smorgasbord, and then have fun fnding the perfect pleasure for you and your partner. condoms unwrapped 09 02.07.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 19 for more information: www.avert.org/usecond.htm health graphic by: Brenna Hawley lCondoms date back to 1000 B.C., when the Egyptians started using linen sheaths to protect them from diseases during intercourse. l In the 1500s, the syphilis epidemic in Europe enticed lots of people onto the condom train. Gabrielle Fallopius said he had invented a linen pouch to prevent men from getting syphilis. It was only later that this invention was also deemed useful for preventing pregnancies.Also, during this time period, people began dipping the linen in chemicals and allowing it to dry before use.Thus, spermicidal condoms were on the map. lThe word condom was frst used in 1706 in a poem. It is said that a doctor named Condom invented the device to prevent King Charles II from having any more illegitimate children. It was around this time that condoms were being made of animal intestines.These were very costly, and trade shops for handmade condoms popped up, no pun intended, all over London. l Rubber condoms were all the rage after Condoms: A Look Back In Time Goodyear Tires discovered a process called vulcanization, where rubber is transformed into a strong elastic material. l The New York Times printed the frst condom advertisement in 1861. l The frst latex condoms hit the market in 1919. lDurex launched the frst lubricated condom in 1957 in the U.K. lToday, we can choose our condoms from all kinds of colors, favors, sizes, styles and brands.

You would probably just grip it and bear your abstinence if you did run into this situation, but sometimes the urge is too great. If men and women do indulge in sex during that most inopportune time of the month, there are some things to consider. Carolyn Johnson, head of the gynecology department at Watkins Memorial Health Center, says there is only a slight increase in the chance of contracting disease. If there were an open cut, there is more exposure to blood and that could provide more risk, Johnson says. This is especially true if the cut is on the man. Johnson says she has more fear that people dont realize that a woman is susceptible to getting pregnant during sex even when she is on her period. Women with shorter cycles are especially fertile near the end of their period. This came as a shock to Andrea Steen, Overland Park sophomore, who said she has had sex while on her period but would probably not do it again. Steen says, That makes me a little scared. I had no idea that you could get pregnant. Steen says her decision to participate in sex while on her period really came down to the guy being comfortable with it. She says she felt slightly self-conscious about it, but was able to get over any insecurities when she found out the guy was fne with it. She felt most concerned with the mess involved. After learning that she was vulnerable to becoming pregnant, Steen says she has another reason not to participate in sex while on her period again. Johnson also says that it is not typical for a woman to have a high sex drive while on her period. She says the period of ovulation usually coincides with a higher sex drive among women. l Jeff Briscoe 14 02.07.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 19 interesting fact: The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. www.ioframe.com health thats disgusting having sex with a girl while shes on her period contact the writer: jbriscoe@kansan.com Lawrences Number One
European Market { { Lawren Eur Rediscover it with a trip to Valid Through 2/29/08 Ask anyone: Shaving is a hassle. Men complain about having to shave their faces, and women complain about having to shave, well, almost everything. But, could letting those bothersome hairs grow be better for you? Matthew Buxton, a dermatologist at Free State Dermatology, 3511 Clinton Pkwy., says women tend to experience more irritation after shaving than men, especially when they shave around the bikini line and under their arms. The curlier and coarser the hair, the more ingrown hairs, bumps and itching, Buxton says. Men with curly hair have more trouble shaving for the same reason, he says. If a woman shaves frequentlylike during swimsuit season when its vital to have smooth legs and a hairless bikini lineshe will have increased irritation that can last a long time. Because of the time it takes and the unsightly, unpleasant bumps that shaving produces, many women and a bold breed of men have turned to waxing. Buxton says that most people who try waxing prefer it to shaving. Their body parts stay smoother longer, he says, and they skip the unwanted side effects of the razor. But Buxton warns that you need to know if youre allergic to the wax before you go down that road. To ensure the most presentable fuzz-free skin, Buxton stresses using mild cleansers and moisturizers before you shave. Both, he says, will contribute to a healthier relationship with your razors and wax.

While it may come up frequently, there are very differing outlooks on the topic. Some people have committed themselves to waiting until theyre married, others just want the commitment of a relationship, and some are just out to get what they can.
Charles Goldberg Chicago junior I think that if youre going to end up having sex, you should make a commitment with the other person. Make sure youre not just doing gymnastics. There are two aspects to every relationship: physical and emotional. I think if youre dating someone and you dont even kiss, then good luck to you. Ive had sex with girls Ive only known for a few days, but then weve stayed together. Everyone needs this time to fnd themselves and fgure yourself out. Tori Komsthoeft Olathe sophomore Since I was seven Ive been going to Christian sports camp, and as you get older they talk to you about Christian issues you will go through. One of the talks really got to me. I dont know who my future husband is, but I wrote his name on my heart. Every person you sleep with, you give away part of your heart to, and I want my husband to have my heart. My friends know my morals and respect me for it. One analogy I use is sex is like a Christmas present and its fun to want to peek at it before Christmas, but when Christmas comes its better to wait. I also have chosen to wait for marriage because I do not want to be on my wedding night and having to compare it to something. You know, it could be the worst sex, but to me it would be great because I have nothing to compare it to. Cole Davis Wheaton sophomore I had sex fairly early on in high school. It was more to get it out of the way and sort of see what the big deal was than anything else. I dont think I ever regretted it and always enjoyed it. After sex that frst time, it stopped being that huge deal people make it out to be. I look at it as Im young and Im in college. I came into college with the mentality that I wasnt going to get into a relationship. Id rather wait until Im older when I can put a lot of effort into a serious, committed relationship. Sarah Coughlan Beloit junior My husband and I waited until we got married. It was a conscience decision. The frst time is very signifcant for anybody. Its something you never forget. Wed already waited and we decided what could be more romantic? The fact that we were there for each others frst time because we were each others frst time is very romantic to me. There were also other advantages, like not having to worry about STDs or pregnancy. Im very glad that we did wait. I get frustrated when you hear someone say Oh, everyones doing it, and I dont think thats the case. Its something you have to be purposeful about. Especially when we got engaged it was a lot harder. [Not having sex] doesnt just happen, and we would like to have a marriage that lasts forever and thats not something that just happens, either. You have to work at it. timing is everything A look at the various reasons people choose to have sex, or to wait it out not everyones doing it Its clear that the Universitys students have a wide variety of outlooks on the topic of sex and, according to a Guttmacher Institute study made available in 2006, 46 percent of teens have lost their virginity by age 19. This is basically half the student population, and goes to show that people are on all different playing felds as they move onto Daisy Hill for their freshman year. Not everyone is having sex on the hill, but you should still keep an eye out for that sock on the door. Alex Eshelerenner, Dallas, Texas, senior, may be a big reason why Christy Tuohy, Dallas, Texas, junior, decided to come to KU. The couple has been dating for about three years, and they frst met when Tuohy was trying to decide which college she wanted to go to. Eshelerenner was a freshman at KU when Tuohy decided to come visit. Her brother had set it up so that his friend, Eshelerenner, could show his little sister around Lawrence and around the campus. She did not remember him from the high school parties that her brother would throw, and, in fact, she had thought that he was someone else before they frst met. When she arrived KU, though, he made quite the impression. Instead of staying with a friend, she spent the whole weekend with him, including a pretend date in the downstairs cafeteria at Naismith Hall. He acted like a best friend would, Tuohy said. After that, they started talking on the phone, and by that summer, they were dating. 18 02.07.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 19 interesting fact: The head of the European Robotics Research Network says humans will be having sex with robots by 2011. www.harpers.org contact how we met a texas twosome Christy tuohy and alex eshelerenner contact the writer: jfetterling@kansan.com l Jessie Fetterling 1301 W. 24th

Riedel, Overland Park freshmen, doesnt have much to say. Id probably try to think of something creative, but I cant right now, he admits. Like T.J., many guys feel a bit lost when thinking up something to do for someone on Valentines Day, but they shouldnt sweat it too much: Most students just want to spend some time with their dates. Valentines Day is defnitely overrated, says Laura Wolf, Overland Park freshman. She sees the holiday the same as any other day, reasoning that your special someone should treat you well every day of the year. For her, a casual dinner is just fne, but thats not to say you wont hurt someones feelings if you dont put effort into Valentines. Lauren Larsen, Green Bay, Wisc., senior, says her worst Valentines experience was when her boyfriend at the time decided it would be acceptable to take her to Schlotzskys Deli and get her some Jelly Bellys. He didnt even get me a sandwich, she says. Larsens ideal date would be a trip to the Legends in Kansas City, Kan., or the Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., for some dinner and shopping. Indeed, most women just crave some alone time with their signifcant other on Valentines Day. Thats why many cite dinner as a good Valentines Day date, as it provides a chance to sit down and talk one-on-one without all the distractions friends and family can bring. Having family around isnt always such a bad thing, though. Laura Hollar, Overland Park freshman, is going to be eating dinner at the opening of her boyfriends grandmothers restaurant. To her, thats the perfect Valentines date. Flowers would be icing on the cake. Although many girls would appreciate some fowers, Nicole Pan, Xian, China freshman, says that the best gifts are made, not bought. She would like any sort of drawing or artwork commemorating the relationship or how her boyfriend feels about heranything that showed he took some time to do something special for her. For those that arent confdent in their artistic ability, fear not: Pan says she would still happily accept gifts purchased at the store, and she says they dont have to be expensive. If youre planning to go to dinner on Valentines, make sure you make reservations, even if its just at a casual restaurant, because most places will be busy. Some restaurants have special menus and multi-course meals available, so call ahead and ask. Above all, just relax and have a good time. The holiday is about spending time together, not having reservations at a fancy restaurant. Your date will be happy as long as you make an effort to show that you care. l Joe Hunt 19 02.07.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 19 interesting fact: An all-male dolphin orgy typically lasts 20 minutes. www.harpers.org play v-day dos and donts contact the writer: jhunt@kansan.com Italian Swedish Puerto Rican Cuban Brasillian 0ur food is just as SEXY! 820 Massachusetts St (785) 838 4600 Get your SEXY self a FREE Sandwich cuban or italian with the purchase of any other sandwich eat me! expires 2/14/2008 All over the World... 20 02.07.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 19 interesting fact: The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by the Egyptians in 2000 B.C.

So why not try bringing a little variety to your bedroom romps? Start off by testing out a few new moves and see where that takes you.

Each day comes complete with a new and inventive position, an illustration and even how many calories each participant can expect to burn. And lucky you: its already February, so it looks like youve got some catching up to do. If you arent particularly limber, try adding sex dice to your routine instead. They come in all varieties, but the basic idea is universal: on each side of the two die there is either an action to perform (lick, suck, kiss, nibble, etc.) or a body part to which the act is to be performed (nipples, toes, genitals, neck, etc.) You just roll the dice and let Fate do the rest. If neither of those do it for you (or you just want one last suggestion), try combining sex with one of lifes other pleasures: Pop Rocks. These feisty little sugar bombs add just the right amount of fun with little to no mess at all. The safest way to incorporate these is while kissing to enhance the feeling (and taste) of an already sweet and satisfying act. 21 02.07.2008 VOL. 5 ISS. 19 interesting fact: Besides the genitals and the breasts, the inner nose is the only other body part that routinely swells during intercourse. www.lilith-ezine.com Jayplay s a y s . . . notice shop At Victorias Secret In addition to its standard stock of sexy attire,Victorias Secret has a special supply of Valentines goodies available that make affordable gifts for guys and gals.Try the Very Sexy edible body icing kit ($19.50) to sweetly seduce your partner, or pick up the Booty Parlor massage trois kit ($32), which comes with lubricant and a variety of scented massage oils.You can fnd Victorias Secret at Oak Park Mall in Overland Park,West Ridge Mall in Topeka, or online at www.victoriassecret. com. listen To Loveline Will having a threesome hurt your relationship?

It taught us how to live, love and wear our Buddy Bands with pride. Dustin Screech Diamond stakes his claim as the sleaziest member of Baysides graduating class with his much-publicized sex tape. But, unlike other celebrities, Diamond decided to embrace and capitalize on his hand-held antics, endorsing the DVD release of Screeched. The flm opens on Diamond sitting in a bubble bath with a woman who is holding the camera. With the scene lit only by candles, the couple goes on for 10 minutes discussing everything from which season of 24 theyre going to watch to what kind of food is left in the fridge, before turning off the camera just before the love-making begins. At this point, theres still hope. Maybe Screeched isnt as vile as the video cover had promised. Maybe its just Diamond enjoying a quiet night at home with Mrs. Screech. Those hopes are soon dashed, though, as we cut to a scene of the actor introducing the rest of the video. In his best dude, brah voice, Diamond, referring to himself as The D-man, gives a run-down of the situation for submission to something called The Brotherhood of the Bros. Apparently, D-man and his buddies have a secret society where they award each other points for taping themselves performing various sex acts. For this particular scenario, he explains that hes just done a comedy show, and that a bride-to-be and her brides maid were in attendance as part of a bachelorette party, and invited the D-man up to their hotel room. At this point, it becomes painfully clear that this tape is a set-up. We get a thrill as he tries to convince the girls to put on sexy lingerie using all the tact and personality of a horny, 13-year-old boy. The best part is, D-man uses nostalgia and his limited star power to tap into the gentle psyche of the brides maid when he, to help her overcome her shyness, says,You grew up with me, Baby. Finally, the girls come out in the lingerie. Sexual gag gifts are conveniently sitting around the hotel room, such as double-headed dildos and candy cock rings, and you better believe they get incorporated. The thrilling climax comes when the D-man executes a move known as the Dirty Sanchez. If youre not familiar with the term, look it up on www.urbandictionary.com. Once you do that, imagine those words printed on a scented sticker and youll think twice before investigating anything with your sense of smell. The flm ends with the D-man bragging about his conquest, and how cool of a dude he is. It also ends with him not only shattering the joy and happiness he brought to many children through the 90s, but also shattering the idea that any decency could exist in the world after viewing this tape. Congrats, D-man, you fnally left your dorky persona behind, but now you have a new one to take its place: D-bag.

"UYs3ELL 4RADEs2EPAIR %TH3T 331-0080 www.game-guy.com Shes fun, shes cute, she swallows... and shes so old school I had worked as a host at Jack Stack Barbecue in Overland Park for almost three years when Doug started working there. I dont remember meeting him, and I didnt pay attention to him for the frst nine months that we worked together. Then in December 2005, he decided he wanted to make me his girlfriend. He frst started pestering me to go out with him after he overheard my co-worker Amy and me checking out some guys. Doug wanted to know why we werent checking him out. So, whats wrong with me? he asked. After a few nervous giggles, I told him he was too old for me. He remembers me saying that he was old and ugly. I know I never called him ugly, but after that, he decided he had something to prove. That December, he began firting with me on a daily basis. He asked what I was studying and what I wanted to do when I graduated. He asked about my new car, too. I had been in a bad car accident earlier that year, so he told me about the accidents he had been in when he was my age. We talked about our co-workers, and he kept me up on the latest gossip from the kitchen: who was sleeping with whom, and who wanted to sleep with whom. I knew he wanted to date me, but I had decided I could never do it. I was 20, and he was 30. Ten years was too much. I worried about what my friends would think, but most of all I worried about what my parents would think. Theyre protective of my three brothers and me, especially because Im the only girl. Would they lecture me about how older men only wanted sex? Or would they ignore him, using silence to make it clear he wasnt welcome? I also worried about how I would ever relate to this guy. Other than a hatred for snotty customers, what did we have in common? He grew up with Magnum, P.I.; I grew up with CSI. Childhood pop culture references would always be lost on one or the other. On top of that, he was my manager. Doug had convinced the other hosts that he was perfect for me, but what would the other managers say? I had never dated any of my co-workers, and I wasnt about to start, especially with my supervisor. I had worked at this restaurant for three years, and dating Doug would ruin my reputation as the good girl who loved her parents and never slept around. Doug was undeterred. He didnt worry about being fred for sexual harassment because he already had another job lined up. He had never enjoyed his job at Jack Stack, mainly because he had other aspirations. He wanted to open his own restaurant, one without all the problems he had found at other restaurants. When I had to go back to school, our gossip sessions were limited to Saturday nights, my only shift while classes were in session. Doug worked Saturday nights, too. I always needed someone to swipe a manager card so I could clock in, and he was always eager to help. I never would have admitted it, but I started to look forward to seeing him. Dougs jokes could always make me smile. If I was in a bad mood, he would ask me what was wrong. Are you constipated? he would say. Did your dog die? I always said no to both questions, but his frankness about constipation made me laugh. One day in early March, Doug was scheduled to work Saturday morning, so his shift was ending when I came in. He helped me clock in, walking up the stairs behind me from the kitchen to the dining room while I wondered if he was checking out my ass. I secretly hoped he was. But then he said he had to go, surprising me with his departure. I must have shown my disappointment on my face, looking up at him and pushing out my bottom lip. Youre going? I asked. He said yes with a similar expression on his face. Tingles ran through my body, turning my stomach as he put his hand on my arm. I knew at that moment that I had to give him a chance. As much as I didnt want to believe it, I was falling for Doug. He knew it too, but it wasnt until June, when he had already quit his job, that I let him take me on a date. When I fnally let him into my life, I learned we had plenty in common. We have both dealt with depression, and we have both totaled at least two cars. We both love snuggling in bed, forgetting about life and watching movies until our eyelids start sagging. We both love eating out, critiquing the restaurants and complaining about the poor service. Doug and I have been dating for a year and a half now. My parents love him. With all their parental wisdom, they can see that he loves me for who I am. I thought I knew my type: tall, nerdy guys, with dark hair and classic, clean-cut looks. Even wearing a tie and a button-down shirt for work, Doug never looks clean-cut, and his wild, curly hair will never be tamed. I never thought my future husband would be the man that joked about constipation to get me to crack a smile. But Doug makes me happy.
