In Greek mythology, Priapos (Ancient Greek: Πρίαπος), Latinized as Priapus, was a minor rustic fertility god, protector of livestock, fruit plants, gardens and male genitalia. His Roman equivalent was Mutunus Tutunus. Priapus was best noted for his large, permanent erection, which gave rise to the medical term priapism.
Having sex in your sleep and being born with two penises are both unusual sexual conditions that might make you chuckle when you hear about them. Unfortunately, these conditions can be disruptive, alienating, and cause the sufferer both physical and emotional pain.
And, for some of these conditions, there is no easy cure.
Here are 6 unusual and rare sexual conditions that you don't want to have:
1. Female Blue Balls (also known as persistent genital arousal disorder or PGAD): At first, this might sound like fun. Always having that feeling of orgasmic anticipation. The difference when you have PGAD? Even after you orgasm, you still have that pre-orgasm feeling of genital engorgement. All day long. And there is no definitive cure, though biofeedback techniques and some medications may help.
2. If the Energizer Bunny Had a Penis (also known as priapism): The male version of PGAD. The erection lasting longer than four hours that the makers of erectile dysfunction medicines warn you about. Except priapism can happen without taking any of those drugs. And it is extremely painful. One cure is to stick a needle into the penis to draw out the excess blood that's causing the engorgement. If you don't treat priapism? The penis can become permanently scarred, which can lead to impotence.
3. Sweet Fondling Dreams (also known as sexsomnia): Also known as sleep sex and is similar to sleepwalking. Sexsomnia is a sleep disorder that causes people to engage in sexual acts while asleep and not be able to recall what occurred upon awakening.
4. Climax Conundrum (also known as orgasm migraines or coital cephalgia): The act of orgasm gives the sufferer a headache similar to a migraine. The ultimate catch-22. Pain after pleasure. The headache is severe and can last for a few hours. Symptoms can also include a stiff neck and vomiting. The opposite of "Not tonight dear. I have a headache."
5. Double Dicks (also known as diphallia or penile duplication): Occurs when a man has two penises, usually next to each other, that usually function normally and can both be used for urination and ejaculation. Men with this condition are frequently sterile. And only one penis at a time can be active. Diphallia is usually accompanied by other congenital abnormalities like spina bifida.
6. Golden Semen Shower (also known as retrograde ejaculation): The sphincter of the bladder doesn't constrict as it should, which would normally force the semen out the urethra. So the ejaculation of semen goes backwards, up the penis and into the bladder. Not a painful disorder but can render a man infertile because the semen is deposited in the bladder. The test for this? Checking a urine sample for semen.

The Kama Sutra is believed to have been written in the third century (AD) by the Indian sage Vatsyayana, as a guide for the courtly gentleman of the time.For years it has been seen as the ultimate sex guide – the first point of reference for young men eager to learn about the art of adventurous lovemaking.
But now, the Kama Sutra is to be updated in a new version, presented as a "lifestyle guide for the modern man and woman".
Gone are the erotic drawings and sexual illustrations that have accompanied various translations of the ancient Hindu text.
Instead, the new edition, to be published by Penguin, will be a text-only pocket-sized handbook, described as a "classy" manual "covering every aspect of love and relationships".
Previous English versions of the Kama Sutra have been widely based on the 19th-century translation by the explorer and orientalist, Sir Richard Francis Burton, often featuring erotic illustrations to enhance Burton's old-fashioned language.
But the new version, written by A. N. D Haksar, an Indian scholar and a leading translator of Sanskrit texts, will include updated chapter headings such as "Making a Pass", "Why Women Get Turned Off", "Girls to Avoid", "Is he Worthwhile?", "Getting rid of him", "Easy Women", "Moves towards sex," and "Some Dos and Don'ts".

Hey ladies: take a break from chasing that six-packed Adonis and instead divert your gaze to the oft-overlooked Homer Simpson doppelganger. You may thank us for it.
A recent study out of Turkey concluded that overweight men with obvious bellies last longer in bed than their thinner counterparts. These heroic researchers (dedicated to finding answers to life's big problems) studied the BMI and sexual performance of 100 men seeking help for sexual dysfunctions contrasted against 100 men who reported no problems.
The result? Men with a higher BMI and, yes, unsightly guts, lasted an average of 7.3 minutes where the slimmer of the group could barely hold on for 2 minutes. Ouch, right? A five-minute difference is pretty significant. As in three times as long kind of significant. In fact, they found skinnier guys more likely to suffer from premature ejaculation, too.

Review by Gerry Burnie
From the outset I will admit that I have had no exposure to the transvestite genre, or even the culture for that matter, and so when I was asked to review ”Variety, the Spice of Life” by Mykola Dementiuk [eXtasy Books, 2010] I wasn’t certain I could give it the proper insight. Fortunately the author has developed the story around a main character who is even more uninitiated than me, and with a naiveté that I don’t believe I ever had.
Said character is made even more transparent by not being assigned a name for the first two-thirds of the story. All of this has a purpose, of course. In other words, he is purposefully presented as a blank canvas upon which life paints what he is to become—a “Missy.”
This process starts when this over-sheltered momma’s boy is cast out into the world following the death of his mother. Although he knows he has strong homosexual tendencies, he has no experience apart from being groped by an older man. However, as fate would have it he spies the ‘man of his dreams,’ and being naïve he falls madly in love; emphasis on the ‘madly.’ Now, the Fates are the fickle agents of the gods, and in this case they can’t resist having a bit of fun with this lovelorn swain. Ergo, ‘Mr. Dreamy’ turns out to be a transvestite hooker, petty thief and all-round exploiter. As is so often the case, however, none of this seems to deter our innocent, and it seems the more he is exploited the more his ardour grows. In fact, he even emulates his puppeteer by becoming a cross-dresser himself.
The story is set in New York, and is a very New-York-type of story—gritty, with a cosmopolitan impersonality about it; impersonal relationships, impersonal sex, and the-devil-take-the-hindmost ethos. All of which is intentional and well presented, as is the overall story.
The quibbles are very few. I had some difficulty relating to the main character, but that may be more of a personal comment than a criticism. I also found the ending a bit simplistic, although that didn’t detract from the overall quality of the story, otherwise.
An interesting read about a genre that is not very often explored. Eagerly recommended. Four-and-one-half stars.




A shrine dedicated to women’s breasts may sound amusing to us foreigners, but for the Japanese, this is a truly sacred place.
Located in Soja City, in Japan’s Okayama Prefecture, Karube Shrine is dedicated to Chichigamisama, the Goddess of Breasts. She is believed to help with safe child births, the production of breast milk, and even curing breast cancer. Built in 1678, the shrine became famous due to a now dead weeping cherry tree, that grew nearby.
Most women come to Karube Shrine to pray for a safe child birth, abundant lactation and breast cancer healing, but there are those who ask the Goddess of Breasts for a bigger bust. Those boob-like things that decorate the shrine’s interior are Ema, small wooden planks, where worshipers write their prayers and requests, in the hope that the god receive them. They cost about $21, and can be ordered online, if you’re interested.

If any of you transvestites are in Paris this Saturday get your mesh stockings, garter belts and fake boobs out and join the great drinking and screwing time. Hmm, what should I wear?
From the blog:Each week I receive many, many books, and let's just say the majority of them don't pass the "subway test": After two stops, I have to put them down.
However, when something does capture my attention, I'm thrilled to pass it on to fellow book lovers. My latest passion: Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
If those names sound familiar, it's because they also wrote Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, which was later turned into a flick with Michael Cera and Kat Dennings. This title is also a young-adult love story, though it's smartly written and avoids the cliches of many books found in the genre.A quick plot recap: The book starts with Dash, who has wandered into his favorite New York bookstore (and mine), The Strand. There, he finds a mysterious red Moleskine notebook next to J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey. He follows the instructions within it -- penned by a girl named Lily -- and then leaves the notebook for her to find. The game is on.
I won't tell you much more, but Book of Dares is full of references to literature, New York spots and it swells with the passion of youth. (It's also a holiday story, but a sweet-not-sappy one.) If you liked Infinite Playlist, you'll like this one. And yes, it may be shelved in the young-adult section, but that doesn't matter.
The first four pages or so of the book have been posted on RandomHouse.com. I highly suggest you read them! Next week the authors will also be going on tour.
Dash & Lily's Book of Dares arrives in stores Oct. 26. Read it before it inevitably becomes a movie.


Actor Brigitte Bardot says she is seriously considering running for president of France after an offer from the Independent Ecology Alliance,
Bardot, 76, said she is interested in challenging French President Nicolas Sarkozy because he has reneged on a promise to outlaw Muslim animal slaughter practices she considers inhumane.
"Because you do the opposite of what you say, I am studying a proposition from the Independent Ecology Alliance to be their presidential candidate in 2012," Bardot said in a letter to Sarkozy published in the French press.
Bardot, an animal rights activist who has campaigned against the seal hunt, wants to make it mandatory to give animals anesthetic before their throats are slit in the prescribed way for halal meat.
"No matter whether it's someone from the political left or right, we just need a voice to stand up and defend animal rights," she says in the letter.
Bardot stopped making films in 1973 to devote her time to animal activism. She is notoriously outspoken and has gotten into trouble for her right wing views on immigration and homosexuality.
"We think she is the best person to represent us for the presidency," Ecology Alliance party chairman Antoine Waechter said. "If she accepts, a final decision will be taken next year.

Forget The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo — Indumathi's Hold On A Minute I'm In The Middle of A Murder is coming to America. Here's a quote from this foreign best-seller:
"Suddenly a trickle of blood began to flow from a crack in the stone tomb. How could fresh blood come out of a tomb built in 1977?"
The story is part of a collection of Tamil pulp fiction that's been translated into English.
Tamil has always been the language of high culture in India. Its literature is 2000 years old, its poetry exquisite.
