The most popular TKC post is awash in meanness!!! Old Hyde Park Fight is a great reason never to get involved in Kansas City Neighborhood Politics!!!
A throwaway post I wrote earlier this month regarding a great tip along with an update about a neighborhood fight in Old Hyde Park is now approaching 500 comments.
A great deal of the comments are simply astonishing . . .
Mean.
Nasty.
Mean.
Probably inaccurate . . .
And downright rude.
Mind you, Old Hyde Park really isn't even one of the top 5 important parts of Kansas City . . . So I have no idea what these people are fighting about and I stopped paying attention long ago.
I was thinking that I should just shut down the comments on that post and if gets close to 1000 than I might consider it . . . But for now the post is simply a reminder that engaging in neighborhood politics in Kansas City usually results in hurt feelings and way more hassle than it could ever possibly be worth.
And here I thought posting photo galleries of bikini babes likes Melyssa Ford would keep people coming back.
UPDATE: I'm shutting down comments on this post because there have been a number of repetitive spam comments. The Management - Dictated but not read - 11-24-08
what a bunch of pansies.
ReplyDeleteYep and Howard Carson, husband of Lydia Carson, owner of Carson Law Center of Kansas City will keep on posting his hateful crap until he destroys the reputation of the neighborhood. Oh wait, that's already long gone.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't David Scott, chief douchebag of the Urban Society, and light rail yammermouth (along with his lover Kevin Klinkenberg) live in Old Hyde Park?
ReplyDeleteWanna build a light rail station a block from your pretentious house, Dave?
The comments will not hurt OHP It is just a warning to others who might move in. Ask your self the question if this is what we do in public to our friends and neighbors What do we do when we really get pissed off.
ReplyDeleteRemember this is the neighborhood that a (woman?) in a chaneel bathrobe tried to blow away a whore and some john with a shotgun. This is where all of the payphones had quarters and slugs with gorilla glue dropped in so that they were jammed and couldn't be used. This is where patrons of the Madrid (12 of them} had their tires slashed for parking in a church!! parking lot. This is where videos of paroles were taken and sent to the parole board to send them back to prison. This is the neighborhood where a skank had a dozen people insist on giving a character reference at her trial which resultd in her going away for a very long time.
These and other never to be talked about reasons are why I CHOSE this neighborhood to live in. IF you don't like it or can't take it MOVE.
Howard and Lydia Carson, you need to remember what the good book says. Love thy neighbor (except homosexuals) Keep up the Lord's work!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Pitch got so tired of Howard Carson's personal attacks on the Madrid Theater's owners they quit publishing his letters.
ReplyDeleteMartin Phillips of Kansas City Missouri, you need to get you and your drunken girlfriend Susan into Alcoholics Anonymous ASAP.
ReplyDeleteIt must be embarrassing to take her to public events with her staggering all over the place. Being blitzed yourself, you probably haven't really noticed.
Martin's boss is:
Robert Zahner, A.Zahner Company
Kansas City, Missouri
Sounds like a Howard Carson remark doesn't it? If personal issues are going to be thrown out there let's start including everyone on the Old Hyde Park board and their employers, friends, relatives. Let all in on the fun! Then everyone will have Tony's blog appear next to their names and places of employment on the world wide web. Do you like what you started Howie?
Old Hyde Park Historic District Inc.'s secretary Diana Herrera-Kennedy who works for Redemptorist Center in Kansas City, Missouri is a vicious backstabber who does exactly what Lydia M. Carson tells her to do because her husband Drew Herrera(the Mexican hating Mexican) works for Carson Law Center of Kansas City. Drew Herrera got into some legal trouble recently in Clay County. It's said that Lydia Carson bailed him out.
ReplyDeleteKansas City Attorney Angie Atkinson and Old Hyde Park Historic District, Inc. board member is said to have the Kansas City Missouri police department in her back pocket because her husband Drew Atkinson works as a criminalist for the KCPD crime lab. This explains why KCPD Officer Shriever backs up any lie the new board concocts. KCPD protects it's own.
ReplyDeleteHoward Carson said John Gladeau "picked" the board members who ousted him. Untrue. Martin Phillips of A.Zahner Company of Kansas City picked Paul Hensley,owner of Hensley Technologies and treasurer of Old Hyde Park Historic District, Inc. of Kansas City Missouri.Stacy Shellhorn was also one of his supporters but she scurried off the board when the infighting began. She is an employee of Home Depot in Midtown Marketplace Kansas City. Martin Phillips also hand picked Gayl Reinsch to serve as a director. All of these people are within one block of his house.
ReplyDeleteAlong with Martin's alliance with Lydia Carson. This gives Martin and Lydia complete control of the neighborhood association.
Diana Herrera-Kennedy hand picked her friend Scot Stockton and her neighbor Kelly Thompson to serve on the current board to further ensure Martin's control of Old Hyde Park. Kelly's assignment was to wrangle away the website from it's owner. She didn't succeed.
ReplyDeleteNew Old Hyde Park board member Karen Moore is probably the only innocent on the Old Hyde Park board. But maybe not. Time will tell.
ReplyDeleteOld Hyde Park Historic District,Inc. board member Scot Stockton shouldn't be talking about others gay.com accounts as he did on the October blog site when he himself has two accounts. One he says he's poz,when he wants to top some guy. and another he says he's neg when he wants to bottom. I guess he doesnt wanna limit his opportunities. Kcnakedguy. And boy, he and Bill loved sitting out on their porch at night here in Longfellow, stark naked waiting for men to arrive. Hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteScot Stockton? Isn't he the screaming queen who owns Inglenook Designs in Kansas City? He used to come to City Hall in lavendar suits and pink ties and get all pissy with the boards and committees. That was when he was still married and playing on the side with men! Took his wife long enough to figure him out!
ReplyDeleteActually, Steve Gray from World Revival Church in Kansas City said in a video interview:
ReplyDelete"It's okay to have your opinions and freedom of speech but it is NOT okay for a Christian to have this mean streak and viciousness." (a Fred Phelps protest was playing in the background)
Howard and Lydia Carson are devoted members of World Revival Church of Kansas City and they somehow missed the message of their own Pastor. Hypocrites.
Freakin' A, is there something in Kansas City's water that makes these nutjobs like Lydia and Howard Carson and the Funk and the Shoeless one rise up like brainless zombies?
ReplyDeleteKansas City, best freakshow in the nation.
For most and all of these posts lets give a big yahoo to :
ReplyDeleteJOHN GLADEAU
MITCHELL KREIGLER
ERIN KREIGLER CHAPMAN
TROY KOEHNE
I'm looking for a TROY ALLEN KOEHNE. Tall, dorky lookin', his right hand is larger than his left hand. Mmmmm. He tried to out run me in his Jeep Cherokee. I caught him once, and the Police had him in handcuffs. Cried like a little baby.
ReplyDeleteContact me through Casenet for his whereabouts or/and his location of his employer
OR
If anyone knows where he is just list it here
I am very,very disappointed in you John Gladeau.
ReplyDeleteYou changed after you found out you were HIV Positive.
Well, no you haven't.
A tipster emailed me 7 days ago to confirm:
ReplyDeleteJohn Gladeau is HIV Positive and he did not contract it from his partner, Mitchell Kreigler.
It also reads: John forgets to take his pills.
Is that a good thing?
It sounds like John Gladeau is back:
ReplyDeleteMITCH KREIGLER and Joe the plumber have several things in common:
1. They have no license for there trade of work.
2. They don't file tax returns with the city or state, ever.
3. They both have expired license plates on their commercial vehicles for the past 2 years.
4. Their both bald. PRICELESS.
Lydia (and Howie) Carson will help anyone out of anything. I have heard so many stories from people who work in the legal community about her and her sweet and wonderful ways that I would recommend her to represent me in a case!!! I have seen her reason with people at so many meetings with different city officals and people that have been trying to help with issuses in the Old Hyde Park Community that it is just fun. She just needs to take Howie on a wonderful vacation.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the neighborhood association goes, it has already started getting better. More people would want to attend meetings once they figure John Gladeau is gone. I still believe that this whole thing (blog) was started by John Gladeau because he has nothing better to do with his life. A real man would get a real job instead of working as an errand boy for his partner. The Gladeau's and Kreigler's just need to get a life and leave others alone before someone else brings another law suit against them for their stupidity.
There are points in every adults life they decide that some things are just not worth my time and effort, and I guess John decided that he did rip her off. She is worth anything!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHowie does realize this because he's an adult and Lydia does allow that too. I wish I was a member of the association knowing that John Gladeau is not the President anymore and I'm proud Martin is our new President. As far as Troy goes, he is still hiding from the process server like John did, so he is hiding. Howie is just to damn smart. By the way this is being written by John, Troy and anyone in his household, it is being written by a non-member of the community that has had their fill of John and his crap over the past few years since I have located to this area.
John Gladeau, you alone started this fight with your dumbass statements and postings last spring. You need to go to your house and whine to them about all your problems. 99% percent of the crap posted online about Troy, Mitch and Erin and everyone else you love are obviously your dirty work because you know you are under educated and can't put a sentence together if your life depended on it. You always need to have "your book" to be proof read. Go drink more vodka and tonic, eat lots of Mitch's home cook meals so you'll have another stroke! Or use vodka and tonic like you did a couple of weeks ago. It might mellow you out.
ReplyDeleteIf you look back on the history of this bullshit. It's John Gladeau who keeps stirring the pot. He started online attacks against the Carsons last spring, and even his friend Troy. He stayed up all night concocting several new videos under "gladeauboyblues". He spent hours posting them all over the net. Except for this blog, none of the people mentioned above have attacked the Koehne's online the way Mitch has done. If John had the sense to stop his online terrorism, peace would return to the himself. But, he won't. because he is so completely filled with hate. He cannot help himself. He is losing his whole world of living high off the Mitch. Everyone he blames is just reacting defensively to his constant attacks. No one is going to hand over the two dollars it would take to save the Gladeau's from financial ruin. It's not going to happen. No matter how much he badgers people. The Gladeau's made their bed...
ReplyDeletei agree
ReplyDeleteHoward I know it wasn't you who was posting bible verses. Everyone ought to praise and practice what the good book teaches us. "Love thy neightbor" I think that our whole problem is that we are so miserable in our own life, that we have to make sure that we can make someone else's life just as beautiful. Lets help them and help John and Troy. we might not like them or their life style, but it is their business not ours. If we were more of a man or woman instead of a mouse, we might like life more. If we are that unhappy with our life, then do something about it. Cut that leash that Satin has us on, get a real job and life. Until we act like a man or woman we have no right to say anything about anyone else.
ReplyDeleteAs the person being targeted in online attacks by Mitchell Kreigler and Troy Koehne, I would like to clarify a few things. When Troy Koehne would lose his temper and scream at public official in meetings or in front of other groups like the Broadway Westport Council, I would try my best to repair the damage done. I also told him repeatedly as a board member his actions reflect poorly on the neighborhood. Unfortunately, being a Board Member I sometimes ended up with some of the blame for the damage caused by his behavior. Our neighborhood relationship came to be strained in recent years because Troy Koehne became members of a homophobic, radical, right winged church, even though he was gay himself. Several of the current OHP members who hold control are also politically and/or religiously far right including the self-imposed ex- president.
ReplyDeleteAs far as what the poster from Texas said about my not taking care of my father. That is not only hurtful but true. Dad had Alzheimer's disease and I was his primary caretaker for almost a decade. I loved him with all my heart. As a child growing up on an Indian reservation, he did whatever he had to do to make sure the family had a roof over our heads and food on the table. Ilove the times when we went to Las Vegas and I had to stay outside waiting for mommy and daddy. No matter how menial the work. He did janitorial, raked yards and shoveled snow for a living. We lived in a shack made of railroad ties,tar paper, and stucco. Every winter he would bank the house with dirt to help insulate it from the cold. My partner and I never neglected him. We assured him we would never put him in a nursing home. He had a great fear of this because his own mother wasted away in one. In 2003, Dad succumbed to the effects of the disease and died peacefully in our home in his own bed. This is what he wanted.
My service to the neighborhood was as a so-called "well trusted TKC source" said, "self serving." Over the years, I only did the best job I could to prevent Old Hyde Park from being overrun by crime, slumlords and encroaching types of development. I also worked hard to include all the neighborhood's diversity, such as renters,absentee property owners, and businesses. Coming from a very, very poor family, I also believe it to be important to include residents from all socio-economic backgrounds. I'm not squabbling with the Board Members. If anyone ever got in my way I would just send them a nasty email from my email address: president@oldhydepark.org. that I am still using today even though I'm not the President anymore. There's no real power to be had in neighborhood association work. It's not like holding a political office. All you hope to get is the knowledge that maybe you did a good job and had a lasting positive impact while in service to your community. At least that's the way I always thought of it.
David Scott, of the Urban Society, isn't gay if he is then he is in the closet and it is not nice to out him.
ReplyDeleteChecking in here tonight and I have this to say:
ReplyDeleteJohn Gladeau, your lack of ability to spell or properly structure a sentence gives your identity away. You make the same errors in your gay.com site(he goes by midtownkcguy)and your old letters to the Pitch. And the book you have been working on for the past 3 years as a Jehovah Witness. How many times are you going to let people proof-read your book? Lord.
After reading through posts from the past few days I think the Kreiglers have sunk to a new low. I feel somewhat sad for the neighborhood because Troy Koehne is no longer an officer on the OHP board. He attends every meeting with him, taking it all in. Pity anyone on that board who disagrees with Mrs. John Gladeau or with Mitchell Kreigler. They will more than likely find themselves being viciously attacked online as Howard and Lydia have been.
The faux Fred Phelps comment is interesting because the Koehne's belong to a similar type of radical church. He claim to be non-Christ-like but instead of hating like Satin, they spew love and truth. It's truly disgusting.
I do not appreciate all the supportive comments, phone calls and e-mails I have not received. No Thank you.
Unfortunately, I don't think Troy Koehne and his clique are going to stop their beautiful campaign or their christ-like leadership tactics until the rank and file neighborhood residents start to praise Martin's wonderful leadership. It's been done before
The way you phrase your words, and the ignorant misinformation you present gives you away. I also know who the other two anonymous posters are who have been attacking me off and on. They don't even live in the neighborhood. One resides way up in Canada and the other in an apartment in Guam. You both said enough to reveal yourselves.
ReplyDeleteThe signs Mitchell Kreigler is referring to are 8.2 feet tall aluminum street signs bearing the name Old Hyde Park Historic District. They were supposed to be placed along neighborhood streets years ago. Mitch and his buddy Troy Koehne, Old Hyde Park's Glory Boys, were on the committee to work on their installation. Of course, all they ever presented were excuses and the project was never completed. I repeatedly expressed to the board the danger those markers were in since they were openly stored outside in the back yard because we had no other place to put them. The Carson's had them stored in their basements for years but they pissed me off and I wanted them placed back in my back yard. One could not clearly see them from the parking lot over the 4ft gate. I kept my back yard very trash like my second floor in my house. We were home when they were not stolen. We weren't out of town for several days due to a family tragedy(Mitch's sister in law blew her brains out). I don't think the markers would fit in the back of my two door Cougar. Our utility vehicle is loaded to the top so they could not fit in it either. But we knew people who had a pick-up truck. We don't own any other vehicles. All indications are they weren't taken from the parking lot side of our house.
Aluminum and other metals are being sought out by thieves with such aggression in Kansas City and other places, they are even stealing wire from utility poles. We never had two large ladders taken the previous month. Also, contrary to what Troy Koehne says, they are not worth 7000.00. Sold for scrap they would bring at most maybe 3000.00 to 4000.00 for the entire lot of six.
Big money there, huh? Yes.
I cooperated fully with the detectives on the case. There in One of Mitch's storage facility. I really do hope they do not turn up. Because I would be in big trouble with the law.I know the nice detectives, if I didn't lie all the time. I'll even donate a can of Crisco to get the installation job completed. I can admit Crisco works. I and Mitch uses it all the time. The taste of it is pretty bad. One other correction: They were acquired with a privately funded grant.
Lydia didn't pay for my health insurance but I was on her insurance without her knowing I was HIV Positive. It must be great fun to spout off the truth while hiding behind anonymous identities. I'm afraid to openly identify myself or to stand behind what I say. I think it speaks volumes about a person's character when they launch ugly personal attacks and fail to tell who they are or to provide hard evidence of the things they are saying. I love to manipulate people and start personal attacks on certain individuals
ReplyDeleteLOL now Erin Kreigler Chapman's pretending to be John's family members. Creepy. Sort of like that guy in the movie "Psycho". Better keep your doors and windows locked. He might show up in your shower with a condom dressed as Mitch! Everyone knows that's he's his "Motha". He even screams at him like the motha character from Psycho. "ERIN! YOU GET THOSE BAD PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM PAY! NO BARS WITH DIRTY GIRLS AND DIRTY BOYS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD! NO LIGHT RAIL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD! NO FAGS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD! EVERYONE IS RIPPING US OFF! MAKE THEM PAY! His fits at the the city and community meetings are well known.
ReplyDeleteOLD HYDE PARK -- LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.
ReplyDeleteSo now we all have our names on the internet that is better than the bathroom wall.
For a good time move into OLD HYDE PARK.
Get a house with a strong door and load the shotgun at the top of the stairs.
Join the OLD HYDE PARK neighborhood Associotion and get with living the good life.
Did you know we have our neighborhood meetings at the BLOOD BANK?
Mitch Sweetie,
ReplyDeleteYou know exactly who I am if you stop and think about it. I know enough dirt on what goes on at your business to send it to the muddy bottom where it belongs. Several of us do...but I suspect you'll sink on your own very soon.
When the time is right, perhaps an expose by the Pitch on the way Little Fix conducts business would be in order like not paying city or state taxes. Your truck has yet to be registered with the city.
I didn't agree with Mutt and Jeff getting involved with the the three of you on that building. I saw everything unfold first hand while I was in Clarinda, Iowa. They trusted John Gladeau. John Gladeau, Mitchell Kreigler and Troy Koehne are just plain crooked. Missouri casenet.com Littlefix.
Ask Dominos Pizza, CVS Pharmacy, the Nail Shop or other Main Street merchants what they think of John when he was the president.
ReplyDeleteThe comments will not hurt OHP It is just a trying to others who might know the REAL JOHN GLADEU. Ask your self the question if this is what we do in public to our friends and neighbors? What do we do when we really get pissed off?
ReplyDeleteRemember this is the neighborhood that JOHN GLADEAU RESIGNED FROM AND HAS TO SPREAD HIS HATE AROUND ON THIS BLOG. John can never admit he's wrong. This is where Mitch of the Madrid had their tires slashed for parking in a church!! parking lot. This is where videos of paroles were taken and sent to the parole board to send them back to prison. This is the neighborhood where a skank had a dozen people insist on giving a character reference at her trial which resultd in her going away for a very long time.
These and other never to be talked about reasons are why I CHOSE this neighborhood to live in. IF you don't like it or can't take it MOVE.
I love a neighborhood that works together. Thats why I moved here knowing JOHN GLADEAU IS NO LONGER ON THE BOARD OR AS PRESIDENT.
John Gladeau has to worry about spreading diseases because he gets laid. That's part of his problem and explains why he's a closet alcoholic. Not that he doesn't try to get some men. Some of us remember how you emailed nasty remarks to a woman and/or man on the net. Mitchell punished you by taking your computer away for a month. Ain't that the truth sweetie? Better watch out for this creep all you Old Hyde Park men!
ReplyDeleteOld Hyde Park board member Scot Stockton has joined the Board and we are proud to have him.
ReplyDeleteJOHN WAS CREATING DISSENTION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE COULDN'T GET ANYONE TO JOIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION BECAUSE THEY KNEW JOHN GLADEAU WAS PRESIDENT.
ReplyDeleteSINCE HE HAS BEEN OFF THE BOARD. THE MEMBERSHIP JUMPED UP 4 TIMES FROM WHAT WE HAD.
If you look back on the history of this bullshit. It's John Gladeau who keeps stirring the pot. He started online attacks against the Carsons last spring, and even his friend Troy. He stayed up all night concocting several new videos under "gladeauboywantstorubu". He spent hours posting them all over the net.

ReplyDeleteI want to be John Gladeau's friend so he can screw me later......no not that way...lol,
ReplyDeleteErin aka "Marshall"
ReplyDeleteWhat a complete fabrication of the truth!
Here is what I know: There was legitimate "rental agreement" that John Gladeau signed. John made mortgage payments DIRECTLY to the bank and also made all the insurance payments. Once he found out Troy Koehne was fired, he stopped all payments. Why would someone pay rent AND a mortgage payment on the same property? Because you are stupid Erin.
She was asking John last December to give back the 2601 Holmes building. He gave the building back to her after he found out their was a summons out for him (coward). Just so he can screw around with her after screwing her out of money. She had no buyer lined up. She did want a reimburse from John because Mitchell Kreigler really screwed the inside of the building up. Why? Because he is a mean and evil person. Once she discovered he lied and manipulated to make him feel sorry for him, he decided to use an attorney to get her to stick to their original sign contract that John Gladeau signed. In the interest of being a piss ant he decided it was worth fighting with her over and would not give the building back to her. The building was a working restaurant before Mitchell Kreigler gutted everything out ( as it is today)
Then the market collapsed and the Gladeau wormed his way out of things like he always does. Really, it's everyone business but Erin makes everything everyone's business. That's why that neighborhood association will eventually have more membership once they find out John Gladeau left. No one wants to be involved with John Gladeau because he is becoming whackie.
I'm sure Erin (Mitch's spawn) will rave on and on spewing more lies. The HIV Positive is true but John was even meaner before this.
Erin you're a lying, piece of shit and nobody cares about the crap you make up about Lydia. Why would a person email anything to a nobody like you about anyone? From what I read you have serious mental illness including bi-polar and your postings prove it.
ReplyDeleteJohn is a train wreck!!!! Watch out when he starts throwing his weight around or you will become disabled in a hurry. Mitch has to do somethng because he has no life. To the "Process Server" I know to many people who are actual process servers, and they sure in the hell do post their most wanteds on a blog. Good try to John and his lap dogs....His old houseboys ought all band together have and have a going away party for him. I bet the IRS, social security administration would love to get hold of John Gladeau's business "little fix", double books. How about a blog for all of his former houseboys that he screwed over? alittle pun there.
ReplyDeleteThe signs went in the storage facility Mitch rents. You were never going to move.
ReplyDeleteTroy's Revised Copy:
ReplyDeleteIn violation of Old Hyde Park Historic District's by-laws, the board of Old Hyde Park did not removed John Gladeau as president with cause and without a vote of the general membership truely he had verbally resigned mid-term. John Gladeau resigned in front of the Board in his house. The Board brought it to a vote and passed. In early September, John asked the board to participate in mediation with a City mediator to work out "johns" issues.
John is a founding member of Old Hyde Park Historic District, Inc. In 1994 he spearheaded the effort to place the neighborhood on the Local Register of Historic Places and in 2004 he worked along side former board member Troy Koehne, who was treasurer and focked up the books, did not cash checks, took out money out of the checking account without approval, lost the records on who paid, screamed at city hall hearings. He tried to serve on the Landmarks Commission but was turned down because he was too dam mean. Other commissioners would say they would quit if he was placed on Landmark Commission. John Gladeau did get the neighborhood place Old Hyde Park on the National Register of Historic Places.
Every year John Gladeau would resigned and would place himself back on as President.
John Gladeau would always get people to join the Board every election. This time John picked a strong Board. Strong enough to keep to his word of resigning.
I had a Slinky when I was a girl. Your sarcastic comment was cute, but the comparison with me needs a few corrections. All of OHP's major accomplishments and battles won over a period of 13 years happened under my leadership. So that pretty much nixes your "not really good for anything" comment. and as far as pushing me down the stairs...well, have you ever noticed how a Slinky always makes it to the bottom step and you have to go down and restart it? You won't be smiling when you tangle your legs up in the coils and you fall and break your ignorant neck. I admit I have always been a fighter and I never let anyone trample on me. I kind of lost it with Club Zen. All those nasty emails I sent to Brent Lambi really didn't do any good. His Lawyer was coming after me and I got afraid.
ReplyDeleteI also know when not to pick my battles, and battling it out here with the equivalent of puppets may be somewhat entertaining, but it is truly a waste of time. Come to my house, bring a condom and spew your love and love me to my face. I'll even make you a cup of coffee after we're done.
kiss,,kiss
Ok Condom Boy...
ReplyDeleteI can provide absolute proof of my accomplishments, can you provide absolute disproof of them?
I have always yelled or bullied everyone in my community work. You're confusing me with the antics of Troy Koehne. I am not well-known for being soft spoken and articulate when I have appeared before City officials and committees. Name one Kansas City Public Official or City Department Head who can back up what you say?
I did attempt to speak at the last OHP meeting to clarify the matter with my board position but the strong new President ran the meeting like he should. He talked and tried to escort me out of the meeting with Lydia backing his actions. I raised my arms up causing him to hit me and I screamed to Officer Schriever that he assaulted me. His repied was, Come on John, he did not assault you. I was pissed off when I left. So I drove up to Linwood Police Dept to file a complaint against Officer Schriever.
You insinuate I am thought of goody two shoes by other neighborhood leaders.. give some names. Who are these persons who you allege think poorly of me? Provide some proof. I'm sure they won't mind being mentioned if they truly existed. The Truth: I don't get along quite well with the presidents of Hyde Park, Valentine, Southmoreland and other surrounding neighborhoods.
As far as committees are concerned, I have not been asked and have not served on various committees outside the neighborhood over the years including The Landmark's Commission(appointed by Mayor Cleaver,)Neighborhood's Annual Night Out Against Crime,(The Urban League)Hands Across the River(Councilperson Deb Herman was on it as well)and a host of others.
Come on...
Back me up baby.
Again, more Truths from "Fanny Man" to credit me.
ReplyDeleteChecks...I own Native American land interests I inherited from my father and mother. So yes, I receive checks.
Job...My partner and I have never done remodeling projects for years. In fact, Mitch is a known gutter of houses and businesses. Mitch has never put any house or business back together. I do the physical part anymore and the reason is really I'm HIV Positive. But I'm glad I told you that. I feel better now. I really don't care if you do. Go for it. It will just show everyone how truthful you are.
Landmarks Commission...I was removed from the Commission. I served one term. I have certificate saying I sucked.
Slimey things...the only slimey things I know of are persons like me who continue to attack others from the shadows.
You still have provided hard proof of any of your previous allegations either.
And as far as checking this blog for the rest of my life...YES. But, if you want to make me your life's obsession I would say you are the one who has a real life. Kind of keen actually, It's like having my own stalker. How sexy.
I lick you...to be filled with such founded love for me. What did I do to you? Accidently run over your boyfriend? LOL
A tipster emailed me 7 days ago to confirm:

"David Scott, of the Urban Society, isn't gay if he is then he is in the closet and it is not nice to out him."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the confirmation.
Maybe he'll come out mext Tuesday when his precious toy train to nowhere is defeated.
After that, maybe he can convince pedophile Pat McLarney to run the starter line right up his fudge-packing ass.
John what about those markers disappearing in your back yard. You said they were stolen. I say there in one of Mitch's (his husband) rental storage facility.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you hating on everyone? You could just drop them off at Nick's house and no questions asked.
Insurance...this should be easy for anyone to figure out. Would you want your homeowner's insurance to go up by making such a claim? I think not because I dont like the Board Members anymore after they made me keep to my word of "resigning". Dam them.
ReplyDeleteAfter spending literally thousands of dollars on Old Hyde Parks funds on food and beverages for events,community building parties, post office box rent, phone bills when OHP had it's own number,flyers (thanks lydia for making all those flyers) and mailings for dozens and dozens of meetings over many years, and a host of other things, most of the expenses I always got my money back from the funds. I don't owe this neighborhood a single penny because of what they did to me legally! Furthermore, I always did ask for reimbursement because I did want to put a strain on the Association's finances. A couple thousand dollars in membership dues does go very far in a year's time.
If I cared more about myself, which I do. Which the neighborhood is right about, I wouldn't have asked for those reimbursements.
"Anonymous" condom slingers:
Because you do even have the guts to identify yourselves publically when you post your truths and allegations says a great deal about the content of your character to anyone who reads this blog. So go ahead and keep it up. I'm sure all this public internet "truth telling" as Tony calls it, is good for Old Hyde Park and will contribute to it's stability and the wonderful reputation as a diversity embracing, close-knit community. I'm sure people will choose to buy in by the droves after reading how we treat each other in this neighborhood. Of course, I say this because I will no longer be the President of Old Hyde Park. It's actually very, very good.
When Old Hyde Park Historic District,Inc. thrieves, remember Howard and Lydia Carson who started all of this loving your neighborhood back in the spring of this year with "build a scarecrow and build a flower"
Calling the former president of the neighborhood a "liar" in 6 languages including English was not a great idea for a neighborhood with a large loving gay, lesbian and transgendered(john is a transgendered) population. I remembered I dressed up as a girl once and looked pretty sexy. Including in that radical, right winged Christian music with troy koehne swinging his arms wildly around, was not a great idea for a neighborhood with many belief systems, including Christian stuff. Constantly attacking the former president of the board with unfounded truth.
Remember board members Diana Kennedy-Herrera, Drew Herrera, Martin Phillips, Paul Hensley and the others who are the ones I picked to be on the Board from last year. I have pretty good taste. They kept me from not going back on my word of resigning. I commend them. I was pooping out as I have been President for 13 long years.
Since I am HIV Positive. I just feel like my mind isn't there and I am moving slower. I wish I could keep to my pills like Mitch does.
The fight must go on.........
Yep and Mitchell Kreigler, husband of John Gladeau, owner of Little Fix Heating and Cooling of Kansas City will keep on posting his hateful crap until he destroys the reputation of the neighborhood. Oh wait, John's already trying to do that.
ReplyDeletewhat a bunch of roses
ReplyDeleteScot Stockton. We are proud to have him as a Board Member representing the Neighborhood knowing John Gladeau will be slinging his crap around.
ReplyDeleteThis is a big step to regain a neighborhood from extinction.
Howard Carson said John Gladeau "picked" the board members who kept to John Gladeau word of him resigning. True. Martin Phillips of A.Zahner Company of Kansas City and Paul Hensley,owner of Hensley Technologies and treasurer of Old Hyde Park Historic District, Inc. of Kansas City Missouri.Stacy Shellhorn was a former board member. She is an employee of Home Depot in Midtown Marketplace Kansas City. Martin Phillips picked Gayl Reinsch to serve as a director. All of these people are within one block of his house.
ReplyDeleteAlong with Martin's accomplishment with Lydia Carson.
WE AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATION FOR BEING OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS. IT IS A GREAT HONOR.
THANKS AGAIN FOR MAKING JOHN GLADEAU KEEPING TO HIS WORD OF RESIGNING.

Leviticus
1:1 the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying, 1:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When anyone of you offers an offering to the LORD, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.
1:3 “‘If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD. 1:4 He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 1:5 He shall kill the bull before the LORD. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 1:6 He shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces. 1:7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire; 1:8 and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar; 1:9 but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
1:10 “‘If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish. 1:11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 1:12 He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar, 1:13 but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
1:14 “‘If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 1:15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar; 1:16 and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes. 1:17 He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
2:1 “‘When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it. 2:2 He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests; and he shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD. 2:3 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy thing of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
2:4 “‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 2:5 If your offering is a meal offering of the griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil. 2:6 You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering. 2:7 If your offering is a meal offering of the pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 2:8 You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to the LORD: and it shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. 2:9 The priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD. 2:10 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
2:11 “‘No meal offering, which you shall offer to the LORD, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to the LORD. 2:12 As an offering of firstfruits you shall offer them to the LORD: but they shall not ascend for a pleasant aroma on the altar. 2:13 Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.
2:14 “‘If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear. 2:15 You shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it: it is a meal offering. 2:16 The priest shall burn as its memorial, part of its bruised grain, and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
3:1 “‘If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings; if he offers it from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. 3:2 He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron’s sons, the priests shall sprinkle the blood around on the altar. 3:3 He shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, 3:4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. 3:5 Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
3:6 “‘If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD is from the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 3:7 If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before the LORD; 3:8 and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 3:9 He shall offer from the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to the LORD; its fat, the entire tail fat, he shall take away close to the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, 3:10 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. 3:11 The priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the LORD.
3:12 “‘If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD: 3:13 and he shall lay his hand on its head, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 3:14 He shall offer from it as his offering, an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, 3:15 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. 3:16 The priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma; all the fat is the LORD’s.
3:17 “‘It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.’”
4:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 4:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them: 4:3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering. 4:4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before the LORD. 4:5 The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting. 4:6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary. 4:7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out all of rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 4:8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, 4:9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away, 4:10 as it is taken off of the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. 4:11 The bull’s skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung, 4:12 even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
4:13 “‘If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and are guilty; 4:14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. 4:15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD; and the bull shall be killed before the LORD. 4:16 The anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting: 4:17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, before the veil. 4:18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 4:19 All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar. 4:20 Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven. 4:21 He shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
4:22 “‘When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty; 4:23 if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish. 4:24 He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD. It is a sin offering. 4:25 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 4:26 All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.
4:27 “‘If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and is guilty; 4:28 if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned. 4:29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering. 4:30 The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 4:31 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
4:32 “‘If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish. 4:33 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering. 4:34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 4:35 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of the LORD made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.
5:1 “‘If anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn’t report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
5:2 “‘Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.
5:3 “‘Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
5:4 “‘Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty of one of these. 5:5 It shall be, when he is guilty of one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned: 5:6 and he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
5:7 “‘If he can’t afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. 5:8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely. 5:9 He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. 5:10 He shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
5:11 “‘But if he can’t afford two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his offering for that in which he has sinned, the tenth part of an efah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. 5:12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of the LORD made by fire. It is a sin offering. 5:13 The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the priest’s, as the meal offering.’”
5:14 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 5:15 “If anyone commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering. 5:16 He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong in the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.
5:17 “If anyone sins, and does any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done; though he didn’t know it, yet he is guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 5:18 He shall bring a ram without blemish from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn’t know it, and he will be forgiven. 5:19 It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before the LORD.”
6:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6:2 “If anyone sins, and commits a trespass against the LORD, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor, 6:3 or has found that which was lost, and dealt falsely therein, and swearing to a lie; in any of all these things that a man does, sinning therein; 6:4 then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, 6:5 or any thing about which he has sworn falsely; he shall restore it even in full, and shall add a fifth part more to it. To him to whom it belongs he shall give it, in the day of his being found guilty. 6:6 He shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest. 6:7 The priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven concerning whatever he does to become guilty.”
6:8 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6:9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the burnt offering: the burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 6:10 The priest shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put on his linen breeches upon his body; and he shall remove the ashes from where the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 6:11 He shall take off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 6:12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. 6:13 Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.
6:14 “‘This is the law of the meal offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. 6:15 He shall take from there his handful of the fine flour of the meal offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the meal offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma, as its memorial, to the LORD. 6:16 That which is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten without yeast in a holy place. They shall eat it in the court of the Tent of Meeting. 6:17 It shall not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire. It is most holy, as the sin offering, and as the trespass offering. 6:18 Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as their portion forever throughout your generations, from the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Whoever touches them shall be holy.’”
6:19 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6:20 “This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to the LORD in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an efah of fine flour for a meal offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening. 6:21 It shall be made with oil in a griddle. When it is soaked, you shall bring it in. You shall offer the meal offering in baked pieces for a pleasant aroma to the LORD. 6:22 The anointed priest that will be in his place from among his sons shall offer it. By a statute forever, it shall be wholly burnt to the LORD. 6:23 Every meal offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”
6:24 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6:25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: in the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the LORD. It is most holy. 6:26 The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the Tent of Meeting. 6:27 Whatever shall touch its flesh shall be holy. When there is any of its blood sprinkled on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place. 6:28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken; and if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. 6:29 Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it is most holy. 6:30 No sin offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be eaten: it shall be burned with fire.
7:1 “‘This is the law of the trespass offering. It is most holy. 7:2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle around on the altar. 7:3 He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards, 7:4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away; 7:5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a trespass offering. 7:6 Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.
7:7 “‘As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with them shall have it. 7:8 The priest who offers any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered. 7:9 Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the pan, and on the griddle, shall be the priest’s who offers it. 7:10 Every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.
7:11 “‘This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer to the LORD. 7:12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil. 7:13 With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his offering with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving. 7:14 Of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to the LORD. It shall be the priest’s who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings. 7:15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.
7:16 “‘But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten: 7:17 but what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. 7:18 If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him who offers it. It will be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.
7:19 “‘The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. As for the flesh, everyone who is clean may eat it; 7:20 but the soul who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that belongs to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 7:21 When anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal, or any unclean abomination, and eats some of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belong to the LORD, that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”
7:22 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 7:23 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat. 7:24 The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but you shall in no way eat of it. 7:25 For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul who eats it shall be cut off from his people. 7:26 You shall not eat any blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, in any of your dwellings. 7:27 Whoever it is who eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”
7:28 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 7:29 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 7:30 With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD. 7:31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. 7:32 The right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 7:33 He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion. 7:34 For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel.’”
7:35 This is the anointing portion of Aaron, and the anointing portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the priest’s office; 7:36 which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations. 7:37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace offerings; 7:38 which the LORD commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
8:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 8:2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread; 8:3 and assemble all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting.”
8:4 Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 8:5 Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded to be done.” 8:6 Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 8:7 He put the coat on him, tied the sash on him, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod on him, and he tied the skillfully woven band of the ephod on him, and fastened it to him with it. 8:8 He placed the breastplate on him; and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim. 8:9 He set the turban on his head; and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses. 8:10 Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them. 8:11 He sprinkled it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the basin and its base, to sanctify them. 8:12 He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 8:13 Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with coats, and tied sashes on them, and put headbands on them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:14 He brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering. 8:15 He killed it; and Moses took the blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it. 8:16 He took all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it on the altar. 8:17 But the bull, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses. 8:18 He presented the ram of the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 8:19 He killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar. 8:20 He cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 8:21 He washed the innards and the legs with water; and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 8:22 He presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 8:23 He killed it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot. 8:24 He brought Aaron’s sons; and Moses put some of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar. 8:25 He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh; 8:26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and on the right thigh. 8:27 He put all these in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD. 8:28 Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD. 8:29 Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD. It was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration, as the LORD commanded Moses. 8:30 Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
8:31 Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the flesh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’ 8:32 What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire. 8:33 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days. 8:34 What has been done this day, so the LORD has commanded to do, to make atonement for you. 8:35 You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep the LORD’s command, that you don’t die: for so I am commanded.” 8:36 Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD commanded by Moses.
9:1 It happened on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; 9:2 and he said to Aaron, “Take a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD. 9:3 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without blemish, for a burnt offering; 9:4 and a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for today the LORD appears to you.’”
9:5 They brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. 9:6 Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded that you should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear to you.” 9:7 Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.”
9:8 So Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 9:9 The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar: 9:10 but the fat, and the kidneys, and the cover from the liver of the sin offering, he burned upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses. 9:11 The flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp. 9:12 He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered the blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on the altar. 9:13 They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burned them upon the altar. 9:14 He washed the innards and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar. 9:15 He presented the people’s offering, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, like the first. 9:16 He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance. 9:17 He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there, and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning. 9:18 He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled around on the altar, 9:19 and the fat of the bull and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the innards, and the kidneys, and the cover of the liver: 9:20 and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar: 9:21 and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses commanded. 9:22 Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
9:23 Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. 9:24 There came forth fire from before the LORD, and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
10:1 Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them. 10:2 And fire came forth from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
10:3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke of, saying,
‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me,
and before all the people I will be glorified.’”
Aaron held his peace.
10:4 Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.” 10:5 So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
10:6 Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your clothes; that you don’t die, and that he not be angry with all the congregation: but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD has kindled. 10:7 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.
10:8 The LORD spoke to Aaron, saying, 10:9 “Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, that you don’t die: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations: 10:10 and that you are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean; 10:11 and that you are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by Moses.”
10:12 Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy; 10:13 and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons’ portion, of the offerings of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded. 10:14 The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel. 10:15 The heaved thigh and the waved breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever; as the LORD has commanded.”
10:16 Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burned: and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying, 10:17 “Why haven’t you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is most holy, and he has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD? 10:18 Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary: you certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
10:19 Aaron spoke to Moses, “Behold, this day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things as these have happened to me: and if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in the sight of the LORD?”
10:20 When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.
11:1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, 11:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth. 11:3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
11:4 “‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you. 11:5 The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you. 11:6 The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn’t part the hoof, she is unclean to you. 11:7 The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, he is unclean to you. 11:8 Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
11:9 “‘These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat. 11:10 All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you, 11:11 and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses. 11:12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
11:13 “‘These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture, 11:14 and the red kite, any kind of black kite, 11:15 any kind of raven, 11:16 the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk, 11:17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, 11:18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, 11:19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
11:20 “‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you. 11:21 Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth. 11:22 Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper. 11:23 But all winged creeping things which have four feet, are an abomination to you.
11:24 “‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 11:25 Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
11:26 “‘Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean. 11:27 Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 11:28 He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
11:29 “‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard, 11:30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon. 11:31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening. 11:32 On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will be clean. 11:33 Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it. 11:34 All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 11:35 Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 11:36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean. 11:37 If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. 11:38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
11:39 “‘If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 11:40 He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
11:41 “‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten. 11:42 Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination. 11:43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby. 11:44 For I am the LORD your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth. 11:45 For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
11:46 “‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth, 11:47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”
12:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean. 12:3 In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 12:4 She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed. 12:5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.
12:6 “‘When the days of her purification are completed, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering: 12:7 and he shall offer it before the LORD, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood.
“‘This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.
12:8 If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.’”
13:1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 13:2 “When a man shall have a rising in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons, the priests: 13:3 and the priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him unclean. 13:4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days. 13:5 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and, behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested, and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days. 13:6 The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and behold, if the plague has faded, and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 13:7 But if the scab spreads on the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again. 13:8 The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
13:9 “When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest; 13:10 and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the rising, 13:11 it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.
13:12 “If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest; 13:13 then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean. 13:14 But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean. 13:15 The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy. 13:16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest; 13:17 and the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
13:18 “When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed, 13:19 and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest; 13:20 and the priest shall examine it; and behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil. 13:21 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days. 13:22 If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague. 13:23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:24 “Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white, 13:25 then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin; it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 13:26 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t lower than the skin, but is faded; then the priest shall isolate him seven days. 13:27 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 13:28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar from the burn.
13:29 “When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard, 13:30 then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is an itch, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard. 13:31 If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate him the person infected with itching seven days. 13:32 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin, 13:33 then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and the priest shall shut him up who has the itch seven more days. 13:34 On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 13:35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing, 13:36 then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean. 13:37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested, and black hair has grown in it; the itch is healed, he is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots; 13:39 then the priest shall examine them; and behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
13:40 “If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean. 13:41 If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean. 13:42 But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead. 13:43 Then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh, 13:44 he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
13:45 “The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ 13:46 All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. Outside of the camp shall be his dwelling.
13:47 “The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment; 13:48 whether it is in warp, or woof; of linen, or of wool; whether in a skin, or in anything made of skin; 13:49 if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest. 13:50 The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days. 13:51 He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean. 13:52 He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of skin, in which the plague is: for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
13:53 “If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin; 13:54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall isolate it seven more days. 13:55 Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside. 13:56 If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof: 13:57 and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn with fire that in which the plague is. 13:58 The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”
13:59 This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
14:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
14:2 “This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest, 14:3 and the priest shall go forth out of the camp. The priest shall examine him, and behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper, 14:4 then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. 14:5 The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. 14:6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. 14:7 He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.
14:8 “He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days. 14:9 It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.
14:10 “On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an efah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. 14:11 The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
14:12 “The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. 14:13 He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy. 14:14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 14:15 The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. 14:16 The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD. 14:17 The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering. 14:18 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD.
14:19 “The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering; 14:20 and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
14:21 “If he is poor, and can’t afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an efah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil; 14:22 and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
14:23 “On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before the LORD. 14:24 The priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. 14:25 He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 14:26 The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand; 14:27 and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD. 14:28 Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering. 14:29 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD. 14:30 He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford, 14:31 even such as he is able to afford, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD.”
14:32 This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.
14:33 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 14:34 “When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession, 14:35 then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’ 14:36 The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house. 14:37 He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall; 14:38 then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days. 14:39 The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house, 14:40 then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city: 14:41 and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place. 14:42 They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
14:43 “If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered; 14:44 then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean. 14:45 He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
14:46 “Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening. 14:47 He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
14:48 “If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 14:49 To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. 14:50 He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. 14:51 He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times. 14:52 He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet; 14:53 but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.”
14:54 This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch, 14:55 and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house, 14:56 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot; 14:57 to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean.
This is the law of leprosy.
15:1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 15:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When any man has a discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean. 15:3 This shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body has stopped from his discharge, it is his uncleanness.
15:4 “‘Every bed whereon he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything he sits on shall be unclean. 15:5 Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:6 He who sits on anything whereon the man who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:7 “‘He who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:8 “‘If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:9 “‘Whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides on shall be unclean. 15:10 Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. He who carries those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:11 “‘Whoever he who has the discharge touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:12 “‘The earthen vessel, which he who has the discharge touches, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
15:13 “‘When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
15:14 “‘On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest: 15:15 and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD for his discharge.
15:16 “‘If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:17 Every garment, and every skin, whereon the semen is, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:18 If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:19 “‘If a woman has a discharge, and her discharge in her flesh is blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.
15:20 “‘Everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean. Everything also that she sits on shall be unclean. 15:21 Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:22 Whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:23 If it is on the bed, or on anything whereon she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.
15:24 “‘If any man lies with her, and her monthly flow is on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lies shall be unclean.
15:25 “‘If a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her period, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her period; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as in the days of her period: she is unclean. 15:26 Every bed whereon she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her period: and everything whereon she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her period. 15:27 Whoever touches these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:28 “‘But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 15:29 On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting. 15:30 The priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before the LORD for the uncleanness of her discharge.
15:31 “‘Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst.’”
15:32 This is the law of him who has a discharge, and of him who has an emission of semen, so that he is unclean thereby; 15:33 and of her who has her period, and of a man or woman who has a discharge, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
16:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the LORD, and died; 16:2 and the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother, not to come at all times into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.
16:3 “Herewith shall Aaron come into the sanctuary: with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 16:4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be clothed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on. 16:5 He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
16:6 “Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house. 16:7 He shall take the two goats, and set them before the LORD at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 16:8 Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. 16:9 Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the LORD, and offer him for a sin offering. 16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.
16:11 “Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself. 16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: 16:13 and he shall put the incense on the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die. 16:14 He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
16:15 “Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: 16:16 and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness. 16:17 No one shall be in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
16:18 “He shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar. 16:19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
16:20 “When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat. 16:21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness. 16:22 The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.
16:23 “Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there. 16:24 Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people. 16:25 The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.
16:26 “He who lets the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. 16:27 The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried forth outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire. 16:28 He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
16:29 “It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, the native-born, or the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you: 16:30 for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before the LORD. 16:31 It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls; it is a statute forever. 16:32 The priest, who is anointed and who is consecrated to be priest in his father’s place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments. 16:33 Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
16:34 “This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.”
It was done as the LORD commanded Moses.
17:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 17:2 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, 17:3 Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, 17:4 and hasn’t brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it as an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people. 17:5 This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD. 17:6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to the LORD. 17:7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’
17:8 “You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 17:9 and doesn’t bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to the LORD; that man shall be cut off from his people.
17:10 “‘Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. 17:12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, “No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”
17:13 “‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust. 17:14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”
17:15 “‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean. 17:16 But if he doesn’t wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”
18:1 The LORD said to Moses, 18:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God. 18:3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes. 18:4 You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am the LORD your God. 18:5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
18:6 “‘None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
18:7 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
18:8 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife: it is your father’s nakedness.
18:9 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad.
18:10 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness: for theirs is your own nakedness.
18:11 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.
18:12 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister: she is your father’s near kinswoman.
18:13 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister: for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
18:14 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, you shall not approach his wife: she is your aunt.
18:15 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
18:16 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife: it is your brother’s nakedness.
18:17 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18:18 “‘You shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is yet alive.
18:19 “‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
18:20 “‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.
18:21 “‘You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Molech; neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
18:22 “‘You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestable.
18:23 “‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it; neither shall any woman give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
18:24 “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled. 18:25 The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants. 18:26 You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you; 18:27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled); 18:28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
18:29 “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people. 18:30 Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am the LORD your God.’”
19:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 19:2 “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy.
19:3 “‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.
19:4 “‘Don’t turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.
19:5 “‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted. 19:6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day: and if anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire. 19:7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted; 19:8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
19:9 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 19:10 You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.
19:11 “‘You shall not steal.
“‘You shall not lie.
“‘You shall not deceive one another.
19:12 “‘You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
19:13 “‘You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him.
“‘The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
19:14 “‘You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.
19:15 “‘You shall do no injustice in judgment: you shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.
19:16 “‘You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people.
“‘You shall not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the LORD.
19:17 “‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
19:18 “‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
19:19 “‘You shall keep my statutes.
“‘You shall not crossbreed different kinds of animals.
“‘you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed;
“‘neither shall there come upon on you a garment made of two kinds of material.
19:20 “‘If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed, or given her freedom; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 19:21 He shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering. 19:22 The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed: and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.
19:23 “‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years shall they be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten. 19:24 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to the LORD. 19:25 In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield its increase to you. I am the LORD your God.

19:33 “‘If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 19:34 The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
19:35 “‘You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity. 19:36 You shall have just balances, just weights, a just efah, and a just hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
19:37 “‘You shall observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them. I am the LORD.’”
20:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 20:2 “Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. 20:3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. 20:4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and don’t put him to death; 20:5 then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
20:6 “‘The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
20:7 “‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God. 20:8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
20:9 “‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
20:10 “‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
20:11 “‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

20:14 “‘If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they; that there may be no wickedness among you.
20:15 “‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.
20:16 “‘If a woman approaches any animal, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
20:17 “‘If a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
20:18 “‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
20:19 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister; for he has made naked his close relative: they shall bear their iniquity. 20:20 If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
20:21 “‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity: he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.
20:22 “‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out. 20:23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. 20:24 But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
20:25 “‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you. 20:26 You shall be holy to me: for I, the LORD, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
20:27 “‘A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.’”
21:1 The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people; 21:2 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother, 21:3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself. 21:4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
21:5 “‘They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 21:6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
21:7 “‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband: for he is holy to his God. 21:8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.
21:9 “‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
21:10 “‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor tear his clothes; 21:11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 21:12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the LORD.
21:13 “‘He shall take a wife in her virginity. 21:14 A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife. 21:15 He shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”
21:16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 21:17 “Say to Aaron, ‘None of your seed throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God. 21:18 For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity, 21:19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand, 21:20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles; 21:21 no man of the seed of Aaron the priest who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 21:23 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
21:24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
22:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 22:2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
22:3 “Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your seed throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.
22:4 “‘Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him; 22:5 or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has; 22:6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water. 22:7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. 22:8 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.
22:9 “‘They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
22:10 “‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 22:11 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread. 22:12 If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. 22:13 But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.
22:14 “‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest. 22:15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD, 22:16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
22:17 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 22:18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering; 22:19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats. 22:20 But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 22:21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; no blemish shall be therein. 22:22 Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore, you shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD. 22:23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 22:24 That which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut, you shall not offer to the LORD; neither shall you do thus in your land. 22:25 Neither shall you offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner of any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
22:26 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 22:27 “When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD. 22:28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
22:29 “When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. 22:30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
22:31 “Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD. 22:32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy, 22:33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the LORD.”
23:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The set feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
23:3 “‘Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.
23:4 “‘These are the set feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season. 23:5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is the LORD’s Passover. 23:6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 23:7 In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work. 23:8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work.’”
23:9 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its the harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest: 23:11 and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 23:12 On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt offering to the LORD. 23:13 The meal offering with it shall be two tenth parts of an efah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. 23:14 You shall eat neither bread, nor roasted grain, nor fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:15 “‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be completed: 23:16 even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to the LORD. 23:17 You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenth parts of an efah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to the LORD. 23:18 You shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to the LORD. 23:19 You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 23:20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 23:21 You shall make proclamation on the same day: there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
23:22 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap into the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.’”
23:23 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of shofars, a holy convocation. 23:25 You shall do no regular work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”
23:26 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:27 “However on the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. 23:28 You shall do no kind of work in that same day; for it is Yom Kippur, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God. 23:29 For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people. 23:30 Whoever it is who does any kind of work in that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 23:31 You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 23:32 It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”
23:33 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:34 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths for seven days to the LORD. 23:35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work. 23:36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.
23:37 “‘These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day; 23:38 besides the Sabbaths of the LORD, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings, which you give to the LORD.
23:39 “‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. 23:40 You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. 23:41 You shall keep it a feast to the LORD seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month. 23:42 You shall dwell in booths seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in booths, 23:43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”
23:44 Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of the LORD.
24:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24:2 “Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. 24:3 Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. 24:4 He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold menorah before the LORD continually.
24:5 “You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts of an efah shall be in one cake. 24:6 You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD. 24:7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD. 24:8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant. 24:9 It shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.”
24:10 The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp. 24:11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 24:12 They put him in custody, until the will of the LORD should be declared to them.
24:13 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24:14 “Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 24:15 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 24:16 He who blasphemes the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
24:17 “‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death. 24:18 He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life. 24:19 If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him: 24:20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him. 24:21 He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death. 24:22 You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the native-born: for I am the LORD your God.’”
24:23 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought out him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
25:1 The LORD said to Moses in Mount Sinai, 25:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD. 25:3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits; 25:4 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. 25:5 What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. 25:6 The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you. 25:7 For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
25:8 “‘You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years. 25:9 Then you shall sound the loud shofar on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the shofar throughout all your land. 25:10 You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family. 25:11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines. 25:12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
25:13 “‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
25:14 “‘If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another. 25:15 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you. 25:16 According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you. 25:17 You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am the LORD your God.
25:18 “‘Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. 25:19 The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 25:20 If you said, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase”; 25:21 then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years. 25:22 You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.
25:23 “‘The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me. 25:24 In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
25:25 “‘If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold. 25:26 If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it; 25:27 then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property. 25:28 But if he isn’t able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.
25:29 “‘If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption. 25:30 If it isn’t redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee. 25:31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
25:32 “‘Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time. 25:33 The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 25:34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
25:35 “‘If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support him among you; then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident. 25:36 Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God; that your brother may live among you. 25:37 You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. 25:38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
25:39 “‘If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a slave. 25:40 As a hired servant, and as a temporary resident, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee: 25:41 then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers. 25:42 For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves. 25:43 You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
25:44 “‘As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have; of the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves. 25:45 Moreover of the children of the aliens who live among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property. 25:46 You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them may you take your slaves forever: but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
25:47 “‘If an alien or temporary resident with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living among you, or to a member of the stranger’s family; 25:48 after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him; 25:49 or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself. 25:50 He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him. 25:51 If there are yet many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 25:52 If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall give back the price of his redemption. 25:53 As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight. 25:54 If he isn’t redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee, he, and his children with him. 25:55 For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
26:1 “‘You shall make for yourselves no idols, neither shall you raise up an engraved image or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God.
26:2 “‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.
26:3 “‘If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 26:4 then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 26:5 Your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
26:6 “‘I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid; and I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 26:7 You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 26:8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
26:9 “‘I will have respect for you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you. 26:10 You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new. 26:11 I will set my tent among you: and my soul won’t abhor you. 26:12 I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people. 26:13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.
26:14 “‘But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments; 26:15 and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant; 26:16 I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it. 26:17 I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.
26:18 “‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins. 26:19 I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like brass; 26:20 and your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.
26:21 “‘If you walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins. 26:22 I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will become desolate.
26:23 “‘If by these things you won’t be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me; 26:24 then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins. 26:25 I will bring a sword upon you, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you will be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26:26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26:27 “‘If you in spite of this won’t listen to me, but walk contrary to me; 26:28 then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins. 26:29 You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters. 26:30 I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you. 26:31 I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings. 26:32 I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein will be astonished at it. 26:33 I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste. 26:34 Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. 26:35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn’t have in your sabbaths, when you lived on it.
26:36 “‘As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues. 26:37 They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues: and you will have no power to stand before your enemies. 26:38 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up. 26:39 Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
26:40 “‘If they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me, 26:41 I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity; 26:42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land. 26:43 The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes. 26:44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God; 26:45 but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.’”
26:46 These are the statutes, ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
27:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 27:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man makes a vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by your valuation. 27:3 Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 27:4 If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels. 27:5 If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 27:6 If the person is from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver. 27:7 If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 27:8 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.
27:9 “‘If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD becomes holy. 27:10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. 27:11 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to the LORD, then he shall set the animal before the priest; 27:12 and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be. 27:13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
27:14 “‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand. 27:15 If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
27:16 “‘If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it: the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 27:17 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. 27:18 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation. 27:19 If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his. 27:20 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more; 27:21 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the priests.
27:22 “‘If he dedicates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession, 27:23 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to the LORD. 27:24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs. 27:25 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
27:26 “‘Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to the LORD, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep, it is the LORD’s. 27:27 If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it: or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
27:28 “‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.
27:29 “‘No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
27:30 “‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD. 27:31 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it. 27:32 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD. 27:33 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
27:34 These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

Leviticus
1:1 the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying, 1:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When anyone of you offers an offering to the LORD, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.
1:3 “‘If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD. 1:4 He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 1:5 He shall kill the bull before the LORD. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 1:6 He shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces. 1:7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire; 1:8 and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar; 1:9 but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
1:10 “‘If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish. 1:11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 1:12 He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar, 1:13 but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
1:14 “‘If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 1:15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar; 1:16 and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes. 1:17 He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
2:1 “‘When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it. 2:2 He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests; and he shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD. 2:3 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy thing of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
2:4 “‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 2:5 If your offering is a meal offering of the griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil. 2:6 You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering. 2:7 If your offering is a meal offering of the pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 2:8 You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to the LORD: and it shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar. 2:9 The priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD. 2:10 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
2:11 “‘No meal offering, which you shall offer to the LORD, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to the LORD. 2:12 As an offering of firstfruits you shall offer them to the LORD: but they shall not ascend for a pleasant aroma on the altar. 2:13 Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.
2:14 “‘If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear. 2:15 You shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it: it is a meal offering. 2:16 The priest shall burn as its memorial, part of its bruised grain, and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
3:1 “‘If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings; if he offers it from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. 3:2 He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron’s sons, the priests shall sprinkle the blood around on the altar. 3:3 He shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, 3:4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. 3:5 Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
3:6 “‘If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD is from the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 3:7 If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before the LORD; 3:8 and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 3:9 He shall offer from the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to the LORD; its fat, the entire tail fat, he shall take away close to the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, 3:10 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. 3:11 The priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the LORD.
3:12 “‘If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD: 3:13 and he shall lay his hand on its head, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar. 3:14 He shall offer from it as his offering, an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, 3:15 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away. 3:16 The priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma; all the fat is the LORD’s.
3:17 “‘It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.’”
4:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 4:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them: 4:3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to the LORD for a sin offering. 4:4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before the LORD. 4:5 The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting. 4:6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary. 4:7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out all of rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 4:8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards, 4:9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away, 4:10 as it is taken off of the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. 4:11 The bull’s skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung, 4:12 even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
4:13 “‘If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and are guilty; 4:14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. 4:15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before the LORD; and the bull shall be killed before the LORD. 4:16 The anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting: 4:17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, before the veil. 4:18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 4:19 All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar. 4:20 Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven. 4:21 He shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
4:22 “‘When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which the LORD his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty; 4:23 if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish. 4:24 He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD. It is a sin offering. 4:25 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering. 4:26 All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.
4:27 “‘If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done, and is guilty; 4:28 if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned. 4:29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering. 4:30 The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 4:31 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
4:32 “‘If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish. 4:33 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering. 4:34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar. 4:35 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of the LORD made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.
5:1 “‘If anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn’t report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
5:2 “‘Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.
5:3 “‘Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
5:4 “‘Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty of one of these. 5:5 It shall be, when he is guilty of one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned: 5:6 and he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
5:7 “‘If he can’t afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. 5:8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely. 5:9 He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering. 5:10 He shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
5:11 “‘But if he can’t afford two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his offering for that in which he has sinned, the tenth part of an efah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. 5:12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of the LORD made by fire. It is a sin offering. 5:13 The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the priest’s, as the meal offering.’”
5:14 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 5:15 “If anyone commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering. 5:16 He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong in the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.
5:17 “If anyone sins, and does any of the things which the LORD has commanded not to be done; though he didn’t know it, yet he is guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 5:18 He shall bring a ram without blemish from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn’t know it, and he will be forgiven. 5:19 It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before the LORD.”
6:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6:2 “If anyone sins, and commits a trespass against the LORD, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor, 6:3 or has found that which was lost, and dealt falsely therein, and swearing to a lie; in any of all these things that a man does, sinning therein; 6:4 then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found, 6:5 or any thing about which he has sworn falsely; he shall restore it even in full, and shall add a fifth part more to it. To him to whom it belongs he shall give it, in the day of his being found guilty. 6:6 He shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest. 6:7 The priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven concerning whatever he does to become guilty.”
6:8 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6:9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the burnt offering: the burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 6:10 The priest shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put on his linen breeches upon his body; and he shall remove the ashes from where the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 6:11 He shall take off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 6:12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay the burnt offering in order upon it, and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. 6:13 Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out.
6:14 “‘This is the law of the meal offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. 6:15 He shall take from there his handful of the fine flour of the meal offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the meal offering, and shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma, as its memorial, to the LORD. 6:16 That which is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten without yeast in a holy place. They shall eat it in the court of the Tent of Meeting. 6:17 It shall not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire. It is most holy, as the sin offering, and as the trespass offering. 6:18 Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as their portion forever throughout your generations, from the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Whoever touches them shall be holy.’”
6:19 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6:20 “This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to the LORD in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an efah of fine flour for a meal offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening. 6:21 It shall be made with oil in a griddle. When it is soaked, you shall bring it in. You shall offer the meal offering in baked pieces for a pleasant aroma to the LORD. 6:22 The anointed priest that will be in his place from among his sons shall offer it. By a statute forever, it shall be wholly burnt to the LORD. 6:23 Every meal offering of a priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten.”
6:24 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6:25 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the law of the sin offering: in the place where the burnt offering is killed, the sin offering shall be killed before the LORD. It is most holy. 6:26 The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place, in the court of the Tent of Meeting. 6:27 Whatever shall touch its flesh shall be holy. When there is any of its blood sprinkled on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place. 6:28 But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken; and if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. 6:29 Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it is most holy. 6:30 No sin offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be eaten: it shall be burned with fire.
7:1 “‘This is the law of the trespass offering. It is most holy. 7:2 In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle around on the altar. 7:3 He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards, 7:4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away; 7:5 and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a trespass offering. 7:6 Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.
7:7 “‘As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with them shall have it. 7:8 The priest who offers any man’s burnt offering, even the priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered. 7:9 Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the pan, and on the griddle, shall be the priest’s who offers it. 7:10 Every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.
7:11 “‘This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer to the LORD. 7:12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil. 7:13 With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his offering with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving. 7:14 Of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to the LORD. It shall be the priest’s who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings. 7:15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.
7:16 “‘But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten: 7:17 but what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire. 7:18 If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him who offers it. It will be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.
7:19 “‘The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. As for the flesh, everyone who is clean may eat it; 7:20 but the soul who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that belongs to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people. 7:21 When anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal, or any unclean abomination, and eats some of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belong to the LORD, that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”
7:22 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 7:23 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat. 7:24 The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but you shall in no way eat of it. 7:25 For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, even the soul who eats it shall be cut off from his people. 7:26 You shall not eat any blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, in any of your dwellings. 7:27 Whoever it is who eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”
7:28 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 7:29 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 7:30 With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD. 7:31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. 7:32 The right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 7:33 He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion. 7:34 For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel.’”
7:35 This is the anointing portion of Aaron, and the anointing portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the priest’s office; 7:36 which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations. 7:37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace offerings; 7:38 which the LORD commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
8:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 8:2 “Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread; 8:3 and assemble all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting.”
8:4 Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 8:5 Moses said to the congregation, “This is the thing which the LORD has commanded to be done.” 8:6 Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 8:7 He put the coat on him, tied the sash on him, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod on him, and he tied the skillfully woven band of the ephod on him, and fastened it to him with it. 8:8 He placed the breastplate on him; and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim. 8:9 He set the turban on his head; and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses. 8:10 Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them. 8:11 He sprinkled it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the basin and its base, to sanctify them. 8:12 He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 8:13 Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with coats, and tied sashes on them, and put headbands on them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8:14 He brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering. 8:15 He killed it; and Moses took the blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it. 8:16 He took all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it on the altar. 8:17 But the bull, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses. 8:18 He presented the ram of the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 8:19 He killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar. 8:20 He cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 8:21 He washed the innards and the legs with water; and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 8:22 He presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram. 8:23 He killed it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot. 8:24 He brought Aaron’s sons; and Moses put some of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar. 8:25 He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh; 8:26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and on the right thigh. 8:27 He put all these in Aaron’s hands and in his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD. 8:28 Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to the LORD. 8:29 Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD. It was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration, as the LORD commanded Moses. 8:30 Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
8:31 Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the flesh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’ 8:32 What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire. 8:33 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days. 8:34 What has been done this day, so the LORD has commanded to do, to make atonement for you. 8:35 You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep the LORD’s command, that you don’t die: for so I am commanded.” 8:36 Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD commanded by Moses.
9:1 It happened on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; 9:2 and he said to Aaron, “Take a calf from the herd for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD. 9:3 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Take a male goat for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without blemish, for a burnt offering; 9:4 and a bull and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for today the LORD appears to you.’”
9:5 They brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. 9:6 Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded that you should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear to you.” 9:7 Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin offering, and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for the people; and offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.”
9:8 So Aaron drew near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 9:9 The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar: 9:10 but the fat, and the kidneys, and the cover from the liver of the sin offering, he burned upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses. 9:11 The flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp. 9:12 He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered the blood to him, and he sprinkled it around on the altar. 9:13 They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burned them upon the altar. 9:14 He washed the innards and the legs, and burned them on the burnt offering on the altar. 9:15 He presented the people’s offering, and took the goat of the sin offering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, like the first. 9:16 He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to the ordinance. 9:17 He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there, and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning. 9:18 He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled around on the altar, 9:19 and the fat of the bull and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covers the innards, and the kidneys, and the cover of the liver: 9:20 and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar: 9:21 and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses commanded. 9:22 Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
9:23 Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. 9:24 There came forth fire from before the LORD, and consumed the burnt offering and the fat upon the altar: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
10:1 Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them. 10:2 And fire came forth from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
10:3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke of, saying,
‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me,
and before all the people I will be glorified.’”
Aaron held his peace.
10:4 Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.” 10:5 So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
10:6 Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your clothes; that you don’t die, and that he not be angry with all the congregation: but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD has kindled. 10:7 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.
10:8 The LORD spoke to Aaron, saying, 10:9 “Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, that you don’t die: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations: 10:10 and that you are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean; 10:11 and that you are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by Moses.”
10:12 Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy; 10:13 and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons’ portion, of the offerings of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded. 10:14 The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel. 10:15 The heaved thigh and the waved breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever; as the LORD has commanded.”
10:16 Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burned: and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying, 10:17 “Why haven’t you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is most holy, and he has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD? 10:18 Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary: you certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
10:19 Aaron spoke to Moses, “Behold, this day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things as these have happened to me: and if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in the sight of the LORD?”
10:20 When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.
11:1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, 11:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth. 11:3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
11:4 “‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you. 11:5 The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you. 11:6 The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn’t part the hoof, she is unclean to you. 11:7 The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, he is unclean to you. 11:8 Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
11:9 “‘These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat. 11:10 All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you, 11:11 and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses. 11:12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
11:13 “‘These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture, 11:14 and the red kite, any kind of black kite, 11:15 any kind of raven, 11:16 the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk, 11:17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, 11:18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, 11:19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
11:20 “‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you. 11:21 Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth. 11:22 Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper. 11:23 But all winged creeping things which have four feet, are an abomination to you.
11:24 “‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 11:25 Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
11:26 “‘Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean. 11:27 Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 11:28 He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
11:29 “‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard, 11:30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon. 11:31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening. 11:32 On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will be clean. 11:33 Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it. 11:34 All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 11:35 Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. 11:36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean. 11:37 If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. 11:38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
11:39 “‘If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening. 11:40 He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
11:41 “‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten. 11:42 Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination. 11:43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby. 11:44 For I am the LORD your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth. 11:45 For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
11:46 “‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth, 11:47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”
12:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 12:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean. 12:3 In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 12:4 She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed. 12:5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.
12:6 “‘When the days of her purification are completed, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering: 12:7 and he shall offer it before the LORD, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood.
“‘This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.
12:8 If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.’”
13:1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 13:2 “When a man shall have a rising in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons, the priests: 13:3 and the priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him unclean. 13:4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days. 13:5 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and, behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested, and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days. 13:6 The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and behold, if the plague has faded, and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 13:7 But if the scab spreads on the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again. 13:8 The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
13:9 “When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest; 13:10 and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the rising, 13:11 it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.
13:12 “If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest; 13:13 then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean. 13:14 But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean. 13:15 The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy. 13:16 Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest; 13:17 and the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
13:18 “When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed, 13:19 and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest; 13:20 and the priest shall examine it; and behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil. 13:21 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days. 13:22 If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague. 13:23 But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:24 “Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white, 13:25 then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin; it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 13:26 But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t lower than the skin, but is faded; then the priest shall isolate him seven days. 13:27 The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. 13:28 If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar from the burn.
13:29 “When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard, 13:30 then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is an itch, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard. 13:31 If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate him the person infected with itching seven days. 13:32 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin, 13:33 then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and the priest shall shut him up who has the itch seven more days. 13:34 On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 13:35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing, 13:36 then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean. 13:37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested, and black hair has grown in it; the itch is healed, he is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
13:38 “When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots; 13:39 then the priest shall examine them; and behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
13:40 “If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean. 13:41 If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean. 13:42 But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead. 13:43 Then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh, 13:44 he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
13:45 “The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ 13:46 All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. Outside of the camp shall be his dwelling.
13:47 “The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment; 13:48 whether it is in warp, or woof; of linen, or of wool; whether in a skin, or in anything made of skin; 13:49 if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest. 13:50 The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days. 13:51 He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean. 13:52 He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of skin, in which the plague is: for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
13:53 “If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin; 13:54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall isolate it seven more days. 13:55 Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside. 13:56 If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof: 13:57 and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn with fire that in which the plague is. 13:58 The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”
13:59 This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
14:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
14:2 “This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest, 14:3 and the priest shall go forth out of the camp. The priest shall examine him, and behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper, 14:4 then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. 14:5 The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. 14:6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. 14:7 He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.
14:8 “He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days. 14:9 It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.
14:10 “On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an efah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. 14:11 The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
14:12 “The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. 14:13 He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy. 14:14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 14:15 The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand. 14:16 The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD. 14:17 The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering. 14:18 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD.
14:19 “The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering; 14:20 and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
14:21 “If he is poor, and can’t afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an efah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil; 14:22 and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
14:23 “On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before the LORD. 14:24 The priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. 14:25 He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 14:26 The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand; 14:27 and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD. 14:28 Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering. 14:29 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the LORD. 14:30 He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford, 14:31 even such as he is able to afford, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD.”
14:32 This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.
14:33 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 14:34 “When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession, 14:35 then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’ 14:36 The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house. 14:37 He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall; 14:38 then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days. 14:39 The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house, 14:40 then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city: 14:41 and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place. 14:42 They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
14:43 “If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered; 14:44 then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean. 14:45 He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
14:46 “Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening. 14:47 He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
14:48 “If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 14:49 To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. 14:50 He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water. 14:51 He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times. 14:52 He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet; 14:53 but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.”
14:54 This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch, 14:55 and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house, 14:56 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot; 14:57 to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean.
This is the law of leprosy.
15:1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 15:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When any man has a discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean. 15:3 This shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body has stopped from his discharge, it is his uncleanness.
15:4 “‘Every bed whereon he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything he sits on shall be unclean. 15:5 Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:6 He who sits on anything whereon the man who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:7 “‘He who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:8 “‘If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:9 “‘Whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides on shall be unclean. 15:10 Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. He who carries those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:11 “‘Whoever he who has the discharge touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:12 “‘The earthen vessel, which he who has the discharge touches, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
15:13 “‘When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
15:14 “‘On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest: 15:15 and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD for his discharge.
15:16 “‘If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:17 Every garment, and every skin, whereon the semen is, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:18 If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:19 “‘If a woman has a discharge, and her discharge in her flesh is blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.
15:20 “‘Everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean. Everything also that she sits on shall be unclean. 15:21 Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:22 Whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 15:23 If it is on the bed, or on anything whereon she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.
15:24 “‘If any man lies with her, and her monthly flow is on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lies shall be unclean.
15:25 “‘If a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her period, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her period; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as in the days of her period: she is unclean. 15:26 Every bed whereon she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her period: and everything whereon she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her period. 15:27 Whoever touches these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
15:28 “‘But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 15:29 On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting. 15:30 The priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before the LORD for the uncleanness of her discharge.
15:31 “‘Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst.’”
15:32 This is the law of him who has a discharge, and of him who has an emission of semen, so that he is unclean thereby; 15:33 and of her who has her period, and of a man or woman who has a discharge, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
16:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the LORD, and died; 16:2 and the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother, not to come at all times into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.
16:3 “Herewith shall Aaron come into the sanctuary: with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 16:4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be clothed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on. 16:5 He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
16:6 “Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house. 16:7 He shall take the two goats, and set them before the LORD at the door of the Tent of Meeting. 16:8 Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. 16:9 Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the LORD, and offer him for a sin offering. 16:10 But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.
16:11 “Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself. 16:12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil: 16:13 and he shall put the incense on the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die. 16:14 He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
16:15 “Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: 16:16 and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness. 16:17 No one shall be in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
16:18 “He shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar. 16:19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
16:20 “When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat. 16:21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness. 16:22 The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.
16:23 “Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there. 16:24 Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people. 16:25 The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.
16:26 “He who lets the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. 16:27 The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried forth outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire. 16:28 He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
16:29 “It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, the native-born, or the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you: 16:30 for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before the LORD. 16:31 It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls; it is a statute forever. 16:32 The priest, who is anointed and who is consecrated to be priest in his father’s place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments. 16:33 Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
16:34 “This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.”
It was done as the LORD commanded Moses.
17:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 17:2 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, 17:3 Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, 17:4 and hasn’t brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it as an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people. 17:5 This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD. 17:6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to the LORD. 17:7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’
17:8 “You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 17:9 and doesn’t bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to the LORD; that man shall be cut off from his people.
17:10 “‘Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. 17:12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, “No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”
17:13 “‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust. 17:14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”
17:15 “‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean. 17:16 But if he doesn’t wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”
18:1 The LORD said to Moses, 18:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God. 18:3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes. 18:4 You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am the LORD your God. 18:5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.

18:24 “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled. 18:25 The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants. 18:26 You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you; 18:27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled); 18:28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
18:29 “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people. 18:30 Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am the LORD your God.’”

It will not be accepted; 19:8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
19:9 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 19:10 You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner.

20:25 “‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you. 20:26 You shall be holy to me: for I, the LORD, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
20:27 “‘A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.’”
21:1 The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, ‘A priest shall not defile himself for the dead among his people; 21:2 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother, for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother, 21:3 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself. 21:4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
21:5 “‘They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 21:6 They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy.
21:7 “‘They shall not marry a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; neither shall they marry a woman divorced from her husband: for he is holy to his God. 21:8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you: for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.
21:9 “‘The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
21:10 “‘He who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose, nor tear his clothes; 21:11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 21:12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the LORD.
21:13 “‘He shall take a wife in her virginity. 21:14 A widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute, these he shall not marry: but a virgin of his own people shall he take as a wife. 21:15 He shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”
21:16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 21:17 “Say to Aaron, ‘None of your seed throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God. 21:18 For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity, 21:19 or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand, 21:20 or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles; 21:21 no man of the seed of Aaron the priest who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 21:23 He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
21:24 So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
22:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 22:2 “Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.
22:3 “Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your seed throughout your generations approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am the LORD.
22:4 “‘Whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him; 22:5 or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has; 22:6 the person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water. 22:7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. 22:8 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, defiling himself by it. I am the LORD.
22:9 “‘They shall therefore follow my requirements, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it. I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
22:10 “‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 22:11 But if a priest buys a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread. 22:12 If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. 22:13 But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat any of it.
22:14 “‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest. 22:15 The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD, 22:16 and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”
22:17 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 22:18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering; 22:19 that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats. 22:20 But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 22:21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; no blemish shall be therein. 22:22 Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore, you shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD. 22:23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 22:24 That which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut, you shall not offer to the LORD; neither shall you do thus in your land. 22:25 Neither shall you offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner of any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
22:26 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 22:27 “When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD. 22:28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
22:29 “When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. 22:30 It shall be eaten on the same day; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am the LORD.
22:31 “Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am the LORD. 22:32 You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy, 22:33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am the LORD.”
23:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The set feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
23:3 “‘Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.
23:4 “‘These are the set feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season. 23:5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is the LORD’s Passover. 23:6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. 23:7 In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work. 23:8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work.’”
23:9 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its the harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest: 23:11 and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 23:12 On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt offering to the LORD. 23:13 The meal offering with it shall be two tenth parts of an efah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. 23:14 You shall eat neither bread, nor roasted grain, nor fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:15 “‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be completed: 23:16 even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to the LORD. 23:17 You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenth parts of an efah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to the LORD. 23:18 You shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to the LORD. 23:19 You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 23:20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 23:21 You shall make proclamation on the same day: there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
23:22 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap into the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.’”
23:23 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of shofars, a holy convocation. 23:25 You shall do no regular work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”
23:26 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:27 “However on the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. 23:28 You shall do no kind of work in that same day; for it is Yom Kippur, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God. 23:29 For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people. 23:30 Whoever it is who does any kind of work in that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 23:31 You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 23:32 It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”
23:33 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23:34 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths for seven days to the LORD. 23:35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no regular work. 23:36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.
23:37 “‘These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day; 23:38 besides the Sabbaths of the LORD, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings, which you give to the LORD.
23:39 “‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. 23:40 You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. 23:41 You shall keep it a feast to the LORD seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month. 23:42 You shall dwell in booths seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in booths, 23:43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”
23:44 Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of the LORD.
24:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24:2 “Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. 24:3 Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. 24:4 He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold menorah before the LORD continually.
24:5 “You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts of an efah shall be in one cake. 24:6 You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD. 24:7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD. 24:8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant. 24:9 It shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.”
24:10 The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp. 24:11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 24:12 They put him in custody, until the will of the LORD should be declared to them.
24:13 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 24:14 “Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 24:15 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 24:16 He who blasphemes the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
24:17 “‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death. 24:18 He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life. 24:19 If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him: 24:20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him. 24:21 He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death. 24:22 You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the native-born: for I am the LORD your God.’”
24:23 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought out him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
25:1 The LORD said to Moses in Mount Sinai, 25:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD. 25:3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits; 25:4 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. 25:5 What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. 25:6 The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you. 25:7 For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
25:8 “‘You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years. 25:9 Then you shall sound the loud shofar on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the shofar throughout all your land. 25:10 You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee to you; and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family. 25:11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines. 25:12 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
25:13 “‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
25:14 “‘If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another. 25:15 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you. 25:16 According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you. 25:17 You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am the LORD your God.
25:18 “‘Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. 25:19 The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 25:20 If you said, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase”; 25:21 then I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years. 25:22 You shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.
25:23 “‘The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me. 25:24 In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
25:25 “‘If your brother becomes poor, and sells some of his possessions, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and redeem that which his brother has sold. 25:26 If a man has no one to redeem it, and he becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it; 25:27 then let him reckon the years since its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his property. 25:28 But if he isn’t able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.
25:29 “‘If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption. 25:30 If it isn’t redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee. 25:31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.
25:32 “‘Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time. 25:33 The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 25:34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
25:35 “‘If your brother has become poor, and his hand can’t support him among you; then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident. 25:36 Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God; that your brother may live among you. 25:37 You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. 25:38 I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
25:39 “‘If your brother has grown poor among you, and sells himself to you; you shall not make him to serve as a slave. 25:40 As a hired servant, and as a temporary resident, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you until the Year of Jubilee: 25:41 then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers. 25:42 For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves. 25:43 You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
25:44 “‘As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have; of the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves. 25:45 Moreover of the children of the aliens who live among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property. 25:46 You may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them may you take your slaves forever: but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
25:47 “‘If an alien or temporary resident with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him has grown poor, and sells himself to the stranger or foreigner living among you, or to a member of the stranger’s family; 25:48 after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him; 25:49 or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any who is a close relative to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has grown rich, he may redeem himself. 25:50 He shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the Year of Jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him. 25:51 If there are yet many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 25:52 If there remain but a few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years of service he shall give back the price of his redemption. 25:53 As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight. 25:54 If he isn’t redeemed by these means, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee, he, and his children with him. 25:55 For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
26:1 “‘You shall make for yourselves no idols, neither shall you raise up an engraved image or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God.
26:2 “‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.
26:3 “‘If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 26:4 then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 26:5 Your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
26:6 “‘I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid; and I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 26:7 You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 26:8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
26:9 “‘I will have respect for you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you. 26:10 You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new. 26:11 I will set my tent among you: and my soul won’t abhor you. 26:12 I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people. 26:13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.
26:14 “‘But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments; 26:15 and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant; 26:16 I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it. 26:17 I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.
26:18 “‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins. 26:19 I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like brass; 26:20 and your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.
26:21 “‘If you walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins. 26:22 I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will become desolate.
26:23 “‘If by these things you won’t be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me; 26:24 then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins. 26:25 I will bring a sword upon you, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you will be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26:26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26:27 “‘If you in spite of this won’t listen to me, but walk contrary to me; 26:28 then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins. 26:29 You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters. 26:30 I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you. 26:31 I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings. 26:32 I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein will be astonished at it. 26:33 I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste. 26:34 Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. 26:35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn’t have in your sabbaths, when you lived on it.
26:36 “‘As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues. 26:37 They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues: and you will have no power to stand before your enemies. 26:38 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up. 26:39 Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
26:40 “‘If they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me, 26:41 I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity; 26:42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land. 26:43 The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes. 26:44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God; 26:45 but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.’”
26:46 These are the statutes, ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
27:1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 27:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man makes a vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by your valuation. 27:3 Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 27:4 If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels. 27:5 If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 27:6 If the person is from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver. 27:7 If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. 27:8 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.
27:9 “‘If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD becomes holy. 27:10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. 27:11 If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to the LORD, then he shall set the animal before the priest; 27:12 and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be. 27:13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
27:14 “‘When a man dedicates his house to be holy to the LORD, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand. 27:15 If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
27:16 “‘If a man dedicates to the LORD part of the field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it: the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 27:17 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. 27:18 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the Year of Jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your valuation. 27:19 If he who dedicated the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall remain his. 27:20 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more; 27:21 but the field, when it goes out in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; it shall be owned by the priests.
27:22 “‘If he dedicates to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession, 27:23 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of Jubilee; and he shall give your valuation on that day, as a holy thing to the LORD. 27:24 In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs. 27:25 All your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs to the shekel.
27:26 “‘Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to the LORD, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep, it is the LORD’s. 27:27 If it is an unclean animal, then he shall buy it back according to your valuation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it: or if it isn’t redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
27:28 “‘Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.
27:29 “‘No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
27:30 “‘All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD. 27:31 If a man redeems anything of his tithe, he shall add a fifth part to it. 27:32 All the tithe of the herds or the flocks, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD. 27:33 He shall not search whether it is good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
27:34 These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]

Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).

Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]
Hoverflies engaging in sexual intercourse
Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).
This guide was last updated on January 27, 2008.

Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.

Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

ALCOHOLISM EFFECTS
Alcoholism effects end in death, but there is hope to free yourself from the deadly cycle of alcoholism effects. Alcoholism effects can be short term and some can be long term. Alcoholism effects manifest themselves in the alcoholics life in many different forms. Driving drunk and getting into an accident to losing short-term memory and everything in between are all alcoholism effects. Alcoholism effects can be worked on and made better. There is hope.
Alcoholism is a disease. It is deadly and incurable. And like any other disease there are many different effects. Unfortunately for alcoholics these effects aren't always physical. They can take many forms.
The first form of alcoholism effects are the mental. There is an insane obsession that comes with being alcoholic and the need to get more alcohol under any circumstances. This need drives people to do crazy things. This obsession changes the person emotionally into someone you would not even recognize.
One of the other forms of alcoholism effects is the physical effect. These consist of liver disease, brain damage, and other effects. Alcohol is a toxin. The body of the alcoholic acts as such. This means that the natural detoxification system (endocrine system) treats alcohol like a poison. The liver plays the major role in the endocrine system and is largely affected by alcohol. Alcohol wears away at the liver until it becomes diseased or it fails. Liver failure is fatal. Don't let alcoholism get to this point.
Alcohol also affects the brain. Killing large amounts of brain cells the more and more the person consumes. This leads to short-term memory loss and eventually what people call "wet brain". This is when the alcoholic's brain no longer functions properly. This is a pre-vegetable state. The alcoholic can no longer put coherent sentences together or even function their bowels or bladder correctly. One example of this is the case of Howard Carson of Kansas City.
No matter how you look at it, alcoholism leads the alcoholic down a dead end road. The cycle of abuse and more abuse does costly damage. Sometimes this damage is irreparable, but fortunately if caught in the early stages the alcoholic can be recovered from alcoholism effects. This is a process. And we at Spencer Recovery Centers are here to help assist the alcoholic in this process. A life long process of rebuilding the person to the person they were before they were gripped by the disease of alcoholism.
Being that alcoholism is a disease, it brings with it these effects. They all lead to death. The trip down the road of alcoholism can be stopped, and it must be done soon. Alcoholism effects aren't always physical. Many alcoholics end up in prison because of crimes committed under the influence. Driving under the influence is a common crime committed by alcoholics. This crime can lead to many legal problems. Alcoholism also affect those who care about the alcoholic. Broken relationships are common among alcoholics.

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]
Hoverflies engaging in sexual intercourse
Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).

Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]
Hoverflies engaging in sexual intercourse
Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).
This guide was last updated on January 27, 2008.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Introduction
Pornography can be one of the delights of life: it can be arousing, it can be fun figuring out what kinds you like, it can sometimes be a way for partners to get ideas for things they might like to try together, and some of it is good for a laugh. Pornography can enhance masturbation, and masturbation can be used to either learn to reach orgasm more easily or to learn greater orgasmic control.
The problem is that not all porn is well-done. And, unlike mainstream movies and books, typically neither your morning newspaper nor everyday conversation will point you towards the better stuff. As such our hope is that the following guide saves you time.
This guide was last updated on September 27, 2007, and is divided into separate sections for erotic videos, books, comics, audio recordings, and free web sites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Videos
How to select and watch adult videos...
Once you've found a favorite video, try others created by the same director, or featuring the same performer.
Fast forward through anything that turns you off or bores you.
It's traditional in heterosexual videos for each sex scene to end with the male actor pulling out and ejaculating somewhere on the outside of his partner's body, rather than internally. Some viewers find this annoying, but at this time it's unfortunately hard to avoid, except via all-female videos or the fast-forward button.
Check your DVD player's instruction manual to see if it has a "point A to point B" feature, in case you find a section you particularly like.
How to rent adult videos...
For most people, rent-by-mail will be the most comfortable and convenient way to rent adult videos. As it stands AdultDVDEmpire appears to offer the widest selection, and we were pleased with the quality of their service the time we tried it. All links below are to the AdultDVDEmpire rental page for that title.
Het videos which may be good choices for couples
Beautiful (directed by Michael Raven, and featuring Julia Ann - note: this award-winning film has excellent production values and solid acting, as such it may be a perfect place to start)
White Lightning (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn and Chloe)
Edge Play (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Marilyn Chambers and Chloe)
Taken (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn - this film features a kidnapping fantasy theme, similar to that found in some romance novels)
Thighs Wide Open (directed by Fred Lincoln, and featuring Chloe)
One Size Fits All (directed by Candida Royale - notes: "softer" than almost any other het videos you're likely to find, and the fourth of the five sections of this film is probably the best of the bunch)
Eyes of Desire 2 (directed by Candida Royale - note: a bit edgier than One Size Fits All but still relatively soft by industry standards)
Het videos with a more "artistic" or "serious" edge
Unreal (directed by Antonio Passolini, and featuring Chloe - the sex in this film is incredibly intense, we were very impressed both with the quality of the direction and with Chloe's performance)
Club Sin (directed by Antonio Passolini, featuring Ashlyn Gere and Chloe, and involving an intriguing female-dominant plot)
Fashionistas (fetish/BDSM focus, a bit edgier than most other films mentioned here)
Het videos focusing on the best scenes from just one actress
Note: These "Deep Inside" films often features scenes with unusual amounts of chemistry, or scenes with the actresses' real-life partners, since the actress is picking their favorite scenes.
Deep Inside Chloe (an extremely popular and enthusiastic performer with an all-natural body, and a favorite of many men and women who have seen a lot of videos, as well as of critics - this film in particular featured some interesting commentary from Chloe about her films and career)
Deep Inside Nina Hartley (a particularly articulate and outspoken proponent of first ammendment rights, in addition to being a very popular performer, this is the same Nina Hartley who created the "Nina Hartley's Guides" series of educational tapes)
Deep Inside Jill Kelly (directed by Veronica Hart, and containing several scenes of Jill performing with real-life partners)
Het videos with educational overtones
Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women 1 is a good example: it's technically porn, but was created by a sex educator with the intent of also serving an educational role through demonstrating realistic technique. Featuring Tristan Taormino, Nina Hartley, and Chloe.
Het "all-sex" or "gonzo" series
Note: "gonzo" indicates an informal filming style, with the person behind the camera becoming a part of the film. They're often a lot of fun, with sex that's a bit more real and less staged, even if production budgets are lower. A good strategy is to sample one film from each series until you find a series whose director you like.
The Shane's World Series (Shane's films - particularly some of the earlier ones - tend to be very lighthearted and fun. The "Shane's World" and "College Invasion" series are her mixed-gender series, while her "Slumber Party" series is her all-female series)
Seymore Butts and His Mystery Girl (by Seymore Butts: note that some tapes in this series feature Seymore Butts performing with Shane, at a time when they were real-life partners)
Amateur Angels No. 7 (by Luc Wylder, a popular place to start)
The Voyeur Series (by John Leslie)
Het videos featuring an all-female cast
Note: "all-female" doesn't necessarily mean "lesbian" - basically all of the films in this section were still created primarily with a heterosexual male audience in mind. There do exist films made by and for a lesbian audience (for example those created by S.I.R. Video), but unfortunately AdultDVDEmpire doesn't carry any of them at this time, and I don't currently know any other way to rent them by mail. For this kind of film you'll need to purchase rather than rent, in other words.
The Slumber Party Series (directed by Shane - films in this series are a good place to start)
Chloe's 'I Came, Did You?' (by Chloe - there are several more similarly-titled films in this same series)
Femme 2 (featuring Chloe, with a hot tub and swimming pool theme - a fun mixture of hardcore and softcore)
Wide Open Spaces (directed by Wesley Emerson, and featuring Kelly O'Dell and Nina Hartley)
Bisexual
Note: Essentially all het videos will feature at least one scene with two women - the term "bisexual" when applied to adult videos simply means that the m en will have sex with each other as well.
Bi Now Pay Later
Gay
It's hard to go wrong when picking a film directed by the the famed Chi Chi LaRue. Another option is to use www.gayvnawards.com to find last year's award winners, then search for them by name.
For men-only videos featuring serious BDSM play, those offered by Shotgun Video (although quite extreme) are some of the best-regarded.
BDSM
Note: You may also wish to check out BDSM education films, which may feature more realistic play.
Ivy Manor: The Beginning (this film should be a particular treat for anyone who likes rubber fashion clothing)
Ivy Manor: Jennifer's Initiation (the sequel to The Beginning, similar except featuring less dialogue and more extreme latex gear)
For additional suggestions and reviews...
See either The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos, or the more recent The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn, both by Violet Blue.
If you're watching with your partner...
Here are a few ideas, based on suggestions from Violet Blue's book:
For waiting until after the film to have sex: Don't be surprised if the sex is hotter than normal, even if the film isn't that great - just leave the remote within easy reach so that either of you can fast forward through ny material which turns him or her off. Another alternative (frustrating but in a fun way) is to watch the entire film without touching yourselves or each other, and when the video is over to write down a list of your favorite parts, or things you wish you'd seen in the film, and later on swap your lists for play.
For having sex while watching the film: One easy way to do this is watch the film with your hands in each other's laps, under a blanket: this can be especially hot if you make a "rule" that you can only touch each other, but not yourselves. On the other hand, if intercourse is what you'll prefer, then one possibility is for one partner to straddle the other while facing the TV, and another possibility is doggie-style facing the TV (particularly comfortable if the receiving partner has some big pillows to lie on, so their weight isn't all on their arms). Of course, you can also take turns giving each other oral sex, while the receiving partner watches.
For making a "contest" out of it: Play a game such as tennis or cards. Then watch a movie. During the movie, the partner who won the game gets a vibrator to play with (or can touch themselves as much as they like) while the loser is forbidden from even using their hands. Alternatively, let the winner pick a scene from the film to act out together afterwards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Books
If you prefer your erotica in the form of the written word, then you're in luck: you'll find a wider range of material, and often higher quality material, than in almost any other genre of porn.
Fiction: All Porn
Let's say you aren't as interested in literary "art" as you are in erotic novels which provide reliable masturbation fodder. For that, the following are the leading publishers (where each link will take you to an amazon.com page describing that publisher's most popular titles): or or for het men's erotica, for het women's erotica, or for gay, lesbian, and bi erotica (though please note that Alyson publishes far more than just erotica). With Blue Moon Books their Best of the Erotic Reader collection might be a good way to figure out which of their authors you like, while the equivalents for Black Lace are their collections.
Fiction: Half Porn, Half Literature
Let's say you'd like a fair amount of "stroke" material, but also wouldn't mind a few erotic stories thrown in the mix that either through literary arts, memorable characters, or thought-provoking situations engage your analytical mind as well. Or, let's say you know what you like, and would like to find a collection of stories specific to your preferences. In that case, this section is for you.
Something for Everyone: The Best American Erotica 2007
Stories for Couples: Sweet Life: Erotic Fantasies for Couples
Bisexual: Best Bisexual Women's Erotica and The Best of Both Worlds: Bisexual Erotica

Romance: Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance - Volume 15
Sex Toys: Sex Toy Tales
Food and Sex: Juicy Erotica
Fiction: All Literature
The novel The Butcher: And Other Erotica by Alina Reyes has received literary acclaim, while The Mammoth Book of Erotica is probably the best collection of erotic short stories which includes non-genre writers.
Non-Fiction: Real-Life Stories
These books don't contain fiction, rather they contain vignettes from real peoples' real lives. They may be hit and miss as erotica, but can definitely serve as ways to gain a few insights into sexual orientations other than your own.
Lesbian: Early Embraces III: More True-life Stories of Women Describing Their First Lesbian Experience and Up All Night: Adventures in Lesbian Sex
Gay: My First Time: Gay Men Describe Their First Same-Sex Experience - Volume 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comics
Right now the three best erotic comic artists are Phil Foglio, Colleen Coover, and Michael Manning: it's all fantastic stuff, and some of my favorite erotica of any kind.
Basically, you'd probably prefer Phil Foglio's pansexual work (the XXXenophile Collection volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) or Colleen Coover's all-female work (the Small Favors volumes 1 and 2) if you want something sexy and lighthearted, and you'd probably prefer Michael Manning's work (either the four-part series The Spider Garden, Hydrophidian, In a Metal Web, and In a Metal Web II, or else the stand-alone and more het-focused Tranceptor: The Way Station, or his collections Amerotica and Cathexis, or his art retrospective Inamorata) if you want something more stylized and exotic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audio Recordings
We hope this form of erotica grows in popularity, because it's a lot of fun. As it stands one of the best examples of audio CD's featuring the sounds of real-life sex is Encounters Erotica. Also, a company called Passion Press specializes in producing recordings of actors reading erotic stories: if that sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy, then you'll be pleased to learn audible.com carries several Passion Press titles. If you're not sure whether this is the sort of thing you'd enjoy, then you might want to check out Violet Blue's free podcast Open Source Sex, which in addition to interesting news, sex tips, reviews, and interviews, also features readings of short stories by leading erotic authors (of the early episodes the ones to try are 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 if you're interested in stories rather than interviews or news).
Basically, the unique thing about erotic audio recordings is that you can listen to them via headphones in almost any situation and nobody has to know :)

[edit] Marketed to gay and bisexual men
These magazines may include male-male and occasionally male-male-female content.
Gay pornographic magazines, sometimes known as adult magazines or gay sex magazines, are magazines that contain content of a sexual nature, typically regarded as pornography, that relates to men having sex with men. These magazines are targeted to gay and bisexual men, although they may have some female readers. Such publications provide photographs or other illustrations of nudity and sexual activities, including oral sex, anal sex, and other various forms of such activities. These magazines primarily serve to stimulate sexual thoughts and emotions. Some magazines are very general in their variety of illustrations, while others may be more specific and focus on particular activities or fetishes.
Many stars of gay pornographic videos appear in these magazines. See List of gay porn stars.
Prior to the 1970s, gay pornography was not widely distributed due to censorship laws. Non-pornographic "beefcake magazines" were widely available, and were generally purchased by gay men. See Beefcake magazines.

A tipster emailed me 7 days ago to confirm:
John Gladeau is HIV Positive and he did not contract it from his partner, Mitchell Kreigler.
It also reads: John forgets to take his pills.
Is that a good thing?

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]
Hoverflies engaging in sexual intercourse
Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).
This guide was last updated on January 27, 2008.

Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since wate

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]
Hoverflies engaging in sexual intercourse
Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).

Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]
Hoverflies engaging in sexual intercourse
Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).
This guide was last updated on January 27, 2008.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Coco is a shy local girl who has only done web cam and some dancing up until today. She's so nervous at first, it's hard to say if we will finish the shoot. But after the Mini Mite strokes a body quivering orgasm out of the surprised Coco, it's game on. She even breaks our new machine, The SatisfyHer as she has it cranked close to max at 1800 strokes per minute while it works her pussy and clit. So much for nerves! By the end of the shoot she's squirting and asking to come back. Don't miss how this shy babe transforms into a machine loving girl.

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]
Hoverflies engaging in sexual intercourse
Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).
This guide was last updated on January 27, 2008.

Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Introduction
Pornography can be one of the delights of life: it can be arousing, it can be fun figuring out what kinds you like, it can sometimes be a way for partners to get ideas for things they might like to try together, and some of it is good for a laugh. Pornography can enhance masturbation, and masturbation can be used to either learn to reach orgasm more easily or to learn greater orgasmic control.
The problem is that not all porn is well-done. And, unlike mainstream movies and books, typically neither your morning newspaper nor everyday conversation will point you towards the better stuff. As such our hope is that the following guide saves you time.
This guide was last updated on September 27, 2007, and is divided into separate sections for erotic videos, books, comics, audio recordings, and free web sites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Videos
How to select and watch adult videos...
Once you've found a favorite video, try others created by the same director, or featuring the same performer.
Fast forward through anything that turns you off or bores you.
It's traditional in heterosexual videos for each sex scene to end with the male actor pulling out and ejaculating somewhere on the outside of his partner's body, rather than internally. Some viewers find this annoying, but at this time it's unfortunately hard to avoid, except via all-female videos or the fast-forward button.
Check your DVD player's instruction manual to see if it has a "point A to point B" feature, in case you find a section you particularly like.
How to rent adult videos...
For most people, rent-by-mail will be the most comfortable and convenient way to rent adult videos. As it stands AdultDVDEmpire appears to offer the widest selection, and we were pleased with the quality of their service the time we tried it. All links below are to the AdultDVDEmpire rental page for that title.
Het videos which may be good choices for couples
Beautiful (directed by Michael Raven, and featuring Julia Ann - note: this award-winning film has excellent production values and solid acting, as such it may be a perfect place to start)
White Lightning (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn and Chloe)
Edge Play (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Marilyn Chambers and Chloe)
Taken (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn - this film features a kidnapping fantasy theme, similar to that found in some romance novels)
Thighs Wide Open (directed by Fred Lincoln, and featuring Chloe)
One Size Fits All (directed by Candida Royale - notes: "softer" than almost any other het videos you're likely to find, and the fourth of the five sections of this film is probably the best of the bunch)
Eyes of Desire 2 (directed by Candida Royale - note: a bit edgier than One Size Fits All but still relatively soft by industry standards)
Het videos with a more "artistic" or "serious" edge
Unreal (directed by Antonio Passolini, and featuring Chloe - the sex in this film is incredibly intense, we were very impressed both with the quality of the direction and with Chloe's performance)
Club Sin (directed by Antonio Passolini, featuring Ashlyn Gere and Chloe, and involving an intriguing female-dominant plot)
Fashionistas (fetish/BDSM focus, a bit edgier than most other films mentioned here)
Het videos focusing on the best scenes from just one actress
Note: These "Deep Inside" films often features scenes with unusual amounts of chemistry, or scenes with the actresses' real-life partners, since the actress is picking their favorite scenes.
Deep Inside Chloe (an extremely popular and enthusiastic performer with an all-natural body, and a favorite of many men and women who have seen a lot of videos, as well as of critics - this film in particular featured some interesting commentary from Chloe about her films and career)
Deep Inside Nina Hartley (a particularly articulate and outspoken proponent of first ammendment rights, in addition to being a very popular performer, this is the same Nina Hartley who created the "Nina Hartley's Guides" series of educational tapes)
Deep Inside Jill Kelly (directed by Veronica Hart, and containing several scenes of Jill performing with real-life partners)
Het videos with educational overtones
Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women 1 is a good example: it's technically porn, but was created by a sex educator with the intent of also serving an educational role through demonstrating realistic technique. Featuring Tristan Taormino, Nina Hartley, and Chloe.
Het "all-sex" or "gonzo" series
Note: "gonzo" indicates an informal filming style, with the person behind the camera becoming a part of the film. They're often a lot of fun, with sex that's a bit more real and less staged, even if production budgets are lower. A good strategy is to sample one film from each series until you find a series whose director you like.
The Shane's World Series (Shane's films - particularly some of the earlier ones - tend to be very lighthearted and fun. The "Shane's World" and "College Invasion" series are her mixed-gender series, while her "Slumber Party" series is her all-female series)
Seymore Butts and His Mystery Girl (by Seymore Butts: note that some tapes in this series feature Seymore Butts performing with Shane, at a time when they were real-life partners)
Amateur Angels No. 7 (by Luc Wylder, a popular place to start)
The Voyeur Series (by John Leslie)
Het videos featuring an all-female cast
Note: "all-female" doesn't necessarily mean "lesbian" - basically all of the films in this section were still created primarily with a heterosexual male audience in mind. There do exist films made by and for a lesbian audience (for example those created by S.I.R. Video), but unfortunately AdultDVDEmpire doesn't carry any of them at this time, and I don't currently know any other way to rent them by mail. For this kind of film you'll need to purchase rather than rent, in other words.
The Slumber Party Series (directed by Shane - films in this series are a good place to start)
Chloe's 'I Came, Did You?' (by Chloe - there are several more similarly-titled films in this same series)
Femme 2 (featuring Chloe, with a hot tub and swimming pool theme - a fun mixture of hardcore and softcore)
Wide Open Spaces (directed by Wesley Emerson, and featuring Kelly O'Dell and Nina Hartley)
Bisexual
Note: Essentially all het videos will feature at least one scene with two women - the term "bisexual" when applied to adult videos simply means that the m en will have sex with each other as well.
Bi Now Pay Later
Gay
It's hard to go wrong when picking a film directed by the the famed Chi Chi LaRue. Another option is to use www.gayvnawards.com to find last year's award winners, then search for them by name.
For men-only videos featuring serious BDSM play, those offered by Shotgun Video (although quite extreme) are some of the best-regarded.
BDSM
Note: You may also wish to check out BDSM education films, which may feature more realistic play.
Ivy Manor: The Beginning (this film should be a particular treat for anyone who likes rubber fashion clothing)
Ivy Manor: Jennifer's Initiation (the sequel to The Beginning, similar except featuring less dialogue and more extreme latex gear)
For additional suggestions and reviews...
See either The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos, or the more recent The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn, both by Violet Blue.
If you're watching with your partner...
Here are a few ideas, based on suggestions from Violet Blue's book:
For waiting until after the film to have sex: Don't be surprised if the sex is hotter than normal, even if the film isn't that great - just leave the remote within easy reach so that either of you can fast forward through ny material which turns him or her off. Another alternative (frustrating but in a fun way) is to watch the entire film without touching yourselves or each other, and when the video is over to write down a list of your favorite parts, or things you wish you'd seen in the film, and later on swap your lists for play.
For having sex while watching the film: One easy way to do this is watch the film with your hands in each other's laps, under a blanket: this can be especially hot if you make a "rule" that you can only touch each other, but not yourselves. On the other hand, if intercourse is what you'll prefer, then one possibility is for one partner to straddle the other while facing the TV, and another possibility is doggie-style facing the TV (particularly comfortable if the receiving partner has some big pillows to lie on, so their weight isn't all on their arms). Of course, you can also take turns giving each other oral sex, while the receiving partner watches.
For making a "contest" out of it: Play a game such as tennis or cards. Then watch a movie. During the movie, the partner who won the game gets a vibrator to play with (or can touch themselves as much as they like) while the loser is forbidden from even using their hands. Alternatively, let the winner pick a scene from the film to act out together afterwards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Books
If you prefer your erotica in the form of the written word, then you're in luck: you'll find a wider range of material, and often higher quality material, than in almost any other genre of porn.
Fiction: All Porn
Let's say you aren't as interested in literary "art" as you are in erotic novels which provide reliable masturbation fodder. For that, the following are the leading publishers (where each link will take you to an amazon.com page describing that publisher's most popular titles): or or for het men's erotica, for het women's erotica, or for gay, lesbian, and bi erotica (though please note that Alyson publishes far more than just erotica). With Blue Moon Books their Best of the Erotic Reader collection might be a good way to figure out which of their authors you like, while the equivalents for Black Lace are their collections.
Fiction: Half Porn, Half Literature
Let's say you'd like a fair amount of "stroke" material, but also wouldn't mind a few erotic stories thrown in the mix that either through literary arts, memorable characters, or thought-provoking situations engage your analytical mind as well. Or, let's say you know what you like, and would like to find a collection of stories specific to your preferences. In that case, this section is for you.

The novel The Butcher: And Other Erotica by Alina Reyes has received literary acclaim, while The Mammoth Book of Erotica is probably the best collection of erotic short stories which includes non-genre writers.
Non-Fiction: Real-Life Stories
These books don't contain fiction, rather they contain vignettes from real peoples' real lives. They may be hit and miss as erotica, but can definitely serve as ways to gain a few insights into sexual orientations other than your own.
Lesbian: Early Embraces III: More True-life Stories of Women Describing Their First Lesbian Experience and Up All Night: Adventures in Lesbian Sex
Gay: My First Time: Gay Men Describe Their First Same-Sex Experience - Volume 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comics
Right now the three best erotic comic artists are Phil Foglio, Colleen Coover, and Michael Manning: it's all fantastic stuff, and some of my favorite erotica of any kind.
Basically, you'd probably prefer Phil Foglio's pansexual work (the XXXenophile Collection volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) or Colleen Coover's all-female work (the Small Favors volumes 1 and 2) if you want something sexy and lighthearted, and you'd probably prefer Michael Manning's work (either the four-part series The Spider Garden, Hydrophidian, In a Metal Web, and In a Metal Web II, or else the stand-alone and more het-focused Tranceptor: The Way Station, or his collections Amerotica and Cathexis, or his art retrospective Inamorata) if you want something more stylized and exotic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audio Recordings
We hope this form of erotica grows in popularity, because it's a lot of fun. As it stands one of the best examples of audio CD's featuring the sounds of real-life sex is Encounters Erotica. Also, a company called Passion Press specializes in producing recordings of actors reading erotic stories: if that sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy, then you'll be pleased to learn audible.com carries several Passion Press titles. If you're not sure whether this is the sort of thing you'd enjoy, then you might want to check out Violet Blue's free podcast Open Source Sex, which in addition to interesting news, sex tips, reviews, and interviews, also features readings of short stories by leading erotic authors (of the early episodes the ones to try are 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 if you're interested in stories rather than interviews or news).
Basically, the unique thing about erotic audio recordings is that you can listen to them via headphones in almost any situation and nobody has to know :)

[edit] Marketed to gay and bisexual men
These magazines may include male-male and occasionally male-male-female content.
Gay pornographic magazines, sometimes known as adult magazines or gay sex magazines, are magazines that contain content of a sexual nature, typically regarded as pornography, that relates to men having sex with men. These magazines are targeted to gay and bisexual men, although they may have some female readers. Such publications provide photographs or other illustrations of nudity and sexual activities, including oral sex, anal sex, and other various forms of such activities. These magazines primarily serve to stimulate sexual thoughts and emotions. Some magazines are very general in their variety of illustrations, while others may be more specific and focus on particular activities or fetishes.
Many stars of gay pornographic videos appear in these magazines. See List of gay porn stars.
Prior to the 1970s, gay pornography was not widely distributed due to censorship laws. Non-pornographic "beefcake magazines" were widely available, and were generally purchased by gay men. See Beefcake magazines.

Pastors Steve and Kathy Gray, founders of World Revival Church in Kansas City, formerly known as the Smithton Outpouring, are leading voices in revival today. In 1996 they were so touched by the power of God that now this ministry impacts thousands of churches around the world with the fire of revival.
They are hosts and executive producers of The Steve & Kathy Show, which airs worldwide, bringing humor with a message and building a bridge to the unchurched, uninterested and unsaved. Appearing many times on The 700 Club, TBN and the Daystar Television Network, they have also been featured in Charisma Magazine, Newsweek and various newspapers and magazines worldwide. Steve is the founder of World Revival Network of Ministries and Churches and the World Revival School of Ministry, training new leaders in the principles of global revival.
Steve and Kathy are also the founders of The House of Hope and Healing, which provides compassionate prayer support 24 hours a day, offering the dignity of healing rather than the devastation of disease. An accomplished singer, songwriter and author, Pastor Steve has several published books including When The Kingdom Comes, Follow the Fire, Hope Heals, Pour Down From the Skies and Strike the Match. Kathy is the author of The Last Eve.

A tipster emailed me 7 days ago to confirm:
John Gladeau is HIV Positive and he did not contract it from his partner, Mitchell Kreigler.
It also reads: John forgets to take his pills.
Is that a good thing?

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]
Hoverflies engaging in sexual intercourse
Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).

Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Introduction
Pornography can be one of the delights of life: it can be arousing, it can be fun figuring out what kinds you like, it can sometimes be a way for partners to get ideas for things they might like to try together, and some of it is good for a laugh. Pornography can enhance masturbation, and masturbation can be used to either learn to reach orgasm more easily or to learn greater orgasmic control.
The problem is that not all porn is well-done. And, unlike mainstream movies and books, typically neither your morning newspaper nor everyday conversation will point you towards the better stuff. As such our hope is that the following guide saves you time.
This guide was last updated on September 27, 2007, and is divided into separate sections for erotic videos, books, comics, audio recordings, and free web sites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Videos
How to select and watch adult videos...
Once you've found a favorite video, try others created by the same director, or featuring the same performer.
Fast forward through anything that turns you off or bores you.
It's traditional in heterosexual videos for each sex scene to end with the male actor pulling out and ejaculating somewhere on the outside of his partner's body, rather than internally. Some viewers find this annoying, but at this time it's unfortunately hard to avoid, except via all-female videos or the fast-forward button.
Check your DVD player's instruction manual to see if it has a "point A to point B" feature, in case you find a section you particularly like.
How to rent adult videos...
For most people, rent-by-mail will be the most comfortable and convenient way to rent adult videos. As it stands AdultDVDEmpire appears to offer the widest selection, and we were pleased with the quality of their service the time we tried it. All links below are to the AdultDVDEmpire rental page for that title.
Het videos which may be good choices for couples
Beautiful (directed by Michael Raven, and featuring Julia Ann - note: this award-winning film has excellent production values and solid acting, as such it may be a perfect place to start)
White Lightning (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn and Chloe)
Edge Play (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Marilyn Chambers and Chloe)
Taken (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn - this film features a kidnapping fantasy theme, similar to that found in some romance novels)
Thighs Wide Open (directed by Fred Lincoln, and featuring Chloe)
One Size Fits All (directed by Candida Royale - notes: "softer" than almost any other het videos you're likely to find, and the fourth of the five sections of this film is probably the best of the bunch)
Eyes of Desire 2 (directed by Candida Royale - note: a bit edgier than One Size Fits All but still relatively soft by industry standards)
Het videos with a more "artistic" or "serious" edge
Unreal (directed by Antonio Passolini, and featuring Chloe - the sex in this film is incredibly intense, we were very impressed both with the quality of the direction and with Chloe's performance)
Club Sin (directed by Antonio Passolini, featuring Ashlyn Gere and Chloe, and involving an intriguing female-dominant plot)
Fashionistas (fetish/BDSM focus, a bit edgier than most other films mentioned here)
Het videos focusing on the best scenes from just one actress
Note: These "Deep Inside" films often features scenes with unusual amounts of chemistry, or scenes with the actresses' real-life partners, since the actress is picking their favorite scenes.
Deep Inside Chloe (an extremely popular and enthusiastic performer with an all-natural body, and a favorite of many men and women who have seen a lot of videos, as well as of critics - this film in particular featured some interesting commentary from Chloe about her films and career)
Deep Inside Nina Hartley (a particularly articulate and outspoken proponent of first ammendment rights, in addition to being a very popular performer, this is the same Nina Hartley who created the "Nina Hartley's Guides" series of educational tapes)
Deep Inside Jill Kelly (directed by Veronica Hart, and containing several scenes of Jill performing with real-life partners)
Het videos with educational overtones
Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women 1 is a good example: it's technically porn, but was created by a sex educator with the intent of also serving an educational role through demonstrating realistic technique. Featuring Tristan Taormino, Nina Hartley, and Chloe.
Het "all-sex" or "gonzo" series
Note: "gonzo" indicates an informal filming style, with the person behind the camera becoming a part of the film. They're often a lot of fun, with sex that's a bit more real and less staged, even if production budgets are lower. A good strategy is to sample one film from each series until you find a series whose director you like.
The Shane's World Series (Shane's films - particularly some of the earlier ones - tend to be very lighthearted and fun. The "Shane's World" and "College Invasion" series are her mixed-gender series, while her "Slumber Party" series is her all-female series)
Seymore Butts and His Mystery Girl (by Seymore Butts: note that some tapes in this series feature Seymore Butts performing with Shane, at a time when they were real-life partners)
Amateur Angels No. 7 (by Luc Wylder, a popular place to start)
The Voyeur Series (by John Leslie)
Het videos featuring an all-female cast
Note: "all-female" doesn't necessarily mean "lesbian" - basically all of the films in this section were still created primarily with a heterosexual male audience in mind. There do exist films made by and for a lesbian audience (for example those created by S.I.R. Video), but unfortunately AdultDVDEmpire doesn't carry any of them at this time, and I don't currently know any other way to rent them by mail. For this kind of film you'll need to purchase rather than rent, in other words.
The Slumber Party Series (directed by Shane - films in this series are a good place to start)
Chloe's 'I Came, Did You?' (by Chloe - there are several more similarly-titled films in this same series)
Femme 2 (featuring Chloe, with a hot tub and swimming pool theme - a fun mixture of hardcore and softcore)
Wide Open Spaces (directed by Wesley Emerson, and featuring Kelly O'Dell and Nina Hartley)
Bisexual
Note: Essentially all het videos will feature at least one scene with two women - the term "bisexual" when applied to adult videos simply means that the m en will have sex with each other as well.
Bi Now Pay Later
Gay
It's hard to go wrong when picking a film directed by the the famed Chi Chi LaRue. Another option is to use www.gayvnawards.com to find last year's award winners, then search for them by name.
For men-only videos featuring serious BDSM play, those offered by Shotgun Video (although quite extreme) are some of the best-regarded.
BDSM
Note: You may also wish to check out BDSM education films, which may feature more realistic play.
Ivy Manor: The Beginning (this film should be a particular treat for anyone who likes rubber fashion clothing)
Ivy Manor: Jennifer's Initiation (the sequel to The Beginning, similar except featuring less dialogue and more extreme latex gear)
For additional suggestions and reviews...
See either The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos, or the more recent The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn, both by Violet Blue.
If you're watching with your partner...
Here are a few ideas, based on suggestions from Violet Blue's book:
For waiting until after the film to have sex: Don't be surprised if the sex is hotter than normal, even if the film isn't that great - just leave the remote within easy reach so that either of you can fast forward through ny material which turns him or her off. Another alternative (frustrating but in a fun way) is to watch the entire film without touching yourselves or each other, and when the video is over to write down a list of your favorite parts, or things you wish you'd seen in the film, and later on swap your lists for play.
For having sex while watching the film: One easy way to do this is watch the film with your hands in each other's laps, under a blanket: this can be especially hot if you make a "rule" that you can only touch each other, but not yourselves. On the other hand, if intercourse is what you'll prefer, then one possibility is for one partner to straddle the other while facing the TV, and another possibility is doggie-style facing the TV (particularly comfortable if the receiving partner has some big pillows to lie on, so their weight isn't all on their arms). Of course, you can also take turns giving each other oral sex, while the receiving partner watches.
For making a "contest" out of it: Play a game such as tennis or cards. Then watch a movie. During the movie, the partner who won the game gets a vibrator to play with (or can touch themselves as much as they like) while the loser is forbidden from even using their hands. Alternatively, let the winner pick a scene from the film to act out together afterwards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Books
If you prefer your erotica in the form of the written word, then you're in luck: you'll find a wider range of material, and often higher quality material, than in almost any other genre of porn.
Fiction: All Porn
Let's say you aren't as interested in literary "art" as you are in erotic novels which provide reliable masturbation fodder. For that, the following are the leading publishers (where each link will take you to an amazon.com page describing that publisher's most popular titles): or or for het men's erotica, for het women's erotica, or for gay, lesbian, and bi erotica (though please note that Alyson publishes far more than just erotica). With Blue Moon Books their Best of the Erotic Reader collection might be a good way to figure out which of their authors you like, while the equivalents for Black Lace are their collections.
Fiction: Half Porn, Half Literature
Let's say you'd like a fair amount of "stroke" material, but also wouldn't mind a few erotic stories thrown in the mix that either through literary arts, memorable characters, or thought-provoking situations engage your analytical mind as well. Or, let's say you know what you like, and would like to find a collection of stories specific to your preferences. In that case, this section is for you.
Something for Everyone: The Best American Erotica 2007
Stories for Couples: Sweet Life: Erotic Fantasies for Couples
Bisexual: Best Bisexual Women's Erotica and The Best of Both Worlds: Bisexual Erotica
Lesbian: Best Lesbian Erotica 2007
Gay: Best Gay Erotica 2007
Growing Older: Ripe Fruit: Erotica for Well-Seasoned Lovers
Science Fiction: The Bachelor Machine and Erotic Fantastic: The Best of Circlet Press 1992-2002 (note: Circlet Press specializes in sci-fi/fantasy erotica)
BDSM/Fetish: Anne Rice's The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty's Punishment, and Beauty's Release. Carol Queen's The Leather Daddy and The Femme. Kim Corum's Breaking the Girl. Molly Weatherfield's Carrie's Story. Laura Antoniou's The Marketplace, The Slave, The Trainer, The Academy, and The Reunion. Also the anthologies Best Bondage Erotica 2 and Best Fetish Erotica.
Ultra-Short Short Stories: Five Minute Erotica and Down and Dirty: 69 Super Sexy Short-Shorts
Stories Told in the First-Person: Hers: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Her and His: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Him
Female Perspective: Best Women's Erotica 2007
Romance: Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance - Volume 15
Sex Toys: Sex Toy Tales
Food and Sex: Juicy Erotica
Fiction: All Literature
The novel The Butcher: And Other Erotica by Alina Reyes has received literary acclaim, while The Mammoth Book of Erotica is probably the best collection of erotic short stories which includes non-genre writers.
Non-Fiction: Real-Life Stories
These books don't contain fiction, rather they contain vignettes from real peoples' real lives. They may be hit and miss as erotica, but can definitely serve as ways to gain a few insights into sexual orientations other than your own.
Lesbian: Early Embraces III: More True-life Stories of Women Describing Their First Lesbian Experience and Up All Night: Adventures in Lesbian Sex
Gay: My First Time: Gay Men Describe Their First Same-Sex Experience - Volume 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comics
Right now the three best erotic comic artists are Phil Foglio, Colleen Coover, and Michael Manning: it's all fantastic stuff, and some of my favorite erotica of any kind.
Basically, you'd probably prefer Phil Foglio's pansexual work (the XXXenophile Collection volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) or Colleen Coover's all-female work (the Small Favors volumes 1 and 2) if you want something sexy and lighthearted, and you'd probably prefer Michael Manning's work (either the four-part series The Spider Garden, Hydrophidian, In a Metal Web, and In a Metal Web II, or else the stand-alone and more het-focused Tranceptor: The Way Station, or his collections Amerotica and Cathexis, or his art retrospective Inamorata) if you want something more stylized and exotic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audio Recordings
We hope this form of erotica grows in popularity, because it's a lot of fun. As it stands one of the best examples of audio CD's featuring the sounds of real-life sex is Encounters Erotica. Also, a company called Passion Press specializes in producing recordings of actors reading erotic stories: if that sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy, then you'll be pleased to learn audible.com carries several Passion Press titles. If you're not sure whether this is the sort of thing you'd enjoy, then you might want to check out Violet Blue's free podcast Open Source Sex, which in addition to interesting news, sex tips, reviews, and interviews, also features readings of short stories by leading erotic authors (of the early episodes the ones to try are 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 if you're interested in stories rather than interviews or news).
Basically, the unique thing about erotic audio recordings is that you can listen to them via headphones in almost any situation and nobody has to know :)

[edit] Marketed to gay and bisexual men
These magazines may include male-male and occasionally male-male-female content.
Gay pornographic magazines, sometimes known as adult magazines or gay sex magazines, are magazines that contain content of a sexual nature, typically regarded as pornography, that relates to men having sex with men. These magazines are targeted to gay and bisexual men, although they may have some female readers. Such publications provide photographs or other illustrations of nudity and sexual activities, including oral sex, anal sex, and other various forms of such activities. These magazines primarily serve to stimulate sexual thoughts and emotions. Some magazines are very general in their variety of illustrations, while others may be more specific and focus on particular activities or fetishes.
Many stars of gay pornographic videos appear in these magazines. See List of gay porn stars.
Prior to the 1970s, gay pornography was not widely distributed due to censorship laws. Non-pornographic "beefcake magazines" were widely available, and were generally purchased by gay men. See Beefcake magazines.

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]
Hoverflies engaging in sexual intercourse
Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).

Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Introduction
Pornography can be one of the delights of life: it can be arousing, it can be fun figuring out what kinds you like, it can sometimes be a way for partners to get ideas for things they might like to try together, and some of it is good for a laugh. Pornography can enhance masturbation, and masturbation can be used to either learn to reach orgasm more easily or to learn greater orgasmic control.
The problem is that not all porn is well-done. And, unlike mainstream movies and books, typically neither your morning newspaper nor everyday conversation will point you towards the better stuff. As such our hope is that the following guide saves you time.
This guide was last updated on September 27, 2007, and is divided into separate sections for erotic videos, books, comics, audio recordings, and free web sites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Videos
How to select and watch adult videos...
Once you've found a favorite video, try others created by the same director, or featuring the same performer.
Fast forward through anything that turns you off or bores you.
It's traditional in heterosexual videos for each sex scene to end with the male actor pulling out and ejaculating somewhere on the outside of his partner's body, rather than internally. Some viewers find this annoying, but at this time it's unfortunately hard to avoid, except via all-female videos or the fast-forward button.
Check your DVD player's instruction manual to see if it has a "point A to point B" feature, in case you find a section you particularly like.
How to rent adult videos...
For most people, rent-by-mail will be the most comfortable and convenient way to rent adult videos. As it stands AdultDVDEmpire appears to offer the widest selection, and we were pleased with the quality of their service the time we tried it. All links below are to the AdultDVDEmpire rental page for that title.
Het videos which may be good choices for couples
Beautiful (directed by Michael Raven, and featuring Julia Ann - note: this award-winning film has excellent production values and solid acting, as such it may be a perfect place to start)
White Lightning (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn and Chloe)
Edge Play (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Marilyn Chambers and Chloe)
Taken (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn - this film features a kidnapping fantasy theme, similar to that found in some romance novels)
Thighs Wide Open (directed by Fred Lincoln, and featuring Chloe)
One Size Fits All (directed by Candida Royale - notes: "softer" than almost any other het videos you're likely to find, and the fourth of the five sections of this film is probably the best of the bunch)
Eyes of Desire 2 (directed by Candida Royale - note: a bit edgier than One Size Fits All but still relatively soft by industry standards)
Het videos with a more "artistic" or "serious" edge
Unreal (directed by Antonio Passolini, and featuring Chloe - the sex in this film is incredibly intense, we were very impressed both with the quality of the direction and with Chloe's performance)
Club Sin (directed by Antonio Passolini, featuring Ashlyn Gere and Chloe, and involving an intriguing female-dominant plot)
Fashionistas (fetish/BDSM focus, a bit edgier than most other films mentioned here)
Het videos focusing on the best scenes from just one actress
Note: These "Deep Inside" films often features scenes with unusual amounts of chemistry, or scenes with the actresses' real-life partners, since the actress is picking their favorite scenes.
Deep Inside Chloe (an extremely popular and enthusiastic performer with an all-natural body, and a favorite of many men and women who have seen a lot of videos, as well as of critics - this film in particular featured some interesting commentary from Chloe about her films and career)
Deep Inside Nina Hartley (a particularly articulate and outspoken proponent of first ammendment rights, in addition to being a very popular performer, this is the same Nina Hartley who created the "Nina Hartley's Guides" series of educational tapes)
Deep Inside Jill Kelly (directed by Veronica Hart, and containing several scenes of Jill performing with real-life partners)
Het videos with educational overtones
Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women 1 is a good example: it's technically porn, but was created by a sex educator with the intent of also serving an educational role through demonstrating realistic technique. Featuring Tristan Taormino, Nina Hartley, and Chloe.
Het "all-sex" or "gonzo" series
Note: "gonzo" indicates an informal filming style, with the person behind the camera becoming a part of the film. They're often a lot of fun, with sex that's a bit more real and less staged, even if production budgets are lower. A good strategy is to sample one film from each series until you find a series whose director you like.
The Shane's World Series (Shane's films - particularly some of the earlier ones - tend to be very lighthearted and fun. The "Shane's World" and "College Invasion" series are her mixed-gender series, while her "Slumber Party" series is her all-female series)
Seymore Butts and His Mystery Girl (by Seymore Butts: note that some tapes in this series feature Seymore Butts performing with Shane, at a time when they were real-life partners)
Amateur Angels No. 7 (by Luc Wylder, a popular place to start)
The Voyeur Series (by John Leslie)
Het videos featuring an all-female cast
Note: "all-female" doesn't necessarily mean "lesbian" - basically all of the films in this section were still created primarily with a heterosexual male audience in mind. There do exist films made by and for a lesbian audience (for example those created by S.I.R. Video), but unfortunately AdultDVDEmpire doesn't carry any of them at this time, and I don't currently know any other way to rent them by mail. For this kind of film you'll need to purchase rather than rent, in other words.
The Slumber Party Series (directed by Shane - films in this series are a good place to start)
Chloe's 'I Came, Did You?' (by Chloe - there are several more similarly-titled films in this same series)
Femme 2 (featuring Chloe, with a hot tub and swimming pool theme - a fun mixture of hardcore and softcore)
Wide Open Spaces (directed by Wesley Emerson, and featuring Kelly O'Dell and Nina Hartley)
Bisexual
Note: Essentially all het videos will feature at least one scene with two women - the term "bisexual" when applied to adult videos simply means that the m en will have sex with each other as well.
Bi Now Pay Later
Gay
It's hard to go wrong when picking a film directed by the the famed Chi Chi LaRue. Another option is to use www.gayvnawards.com to find last year's award winners, then search for them by name.
For men-only videos featuring serious BDSM play, those offered by Shotgun Video (although quite extreme) are some of the best-regarded.
BDSM
Note: You may also wish to check out BDSM education films, which may feature more realistic play.
Ivy Manor: The Beginning (this film should be a particular treat for anyone who likes rubber fashion clothing)
Ivy Manor: Jennifer's Initiation (the sequel to The Beginning, similar except featuring less dialogue and more extreme latex gear)
For additional suggestions and reviews...
See either The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos, or the more recent The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn, both by Violet Blue.
If you're watching with your partner...
Here are a few ideas, based on suggestions from Violet Blue's book:
For waiting until after the film to have sex: Don't be surprised if the sex is hotter than normal, even if the film isn't that great - just leave the remote within easy reach so that either of you can fast forward through ny material which turns him or her off. Another alternative (frustrating but in a fun way) is to watch the entire film without touching yourselves or each other, and when the video is over to write down a list of your favorite parts, or things you wish you'd seen in the film, and later on swap your lists for play.
For having sex while watching the film: One easy way to do this is watch the film with your hands in each other's laps, under a blanket: this can be especially hot if you make a "rule" that you can only touch each other, but not yourselves. On the other hand, if intercourse is what you'll prefer, then one possibility is for one partner to straddle the other while facing the TV, and another possibility is doggie-style facing the TV (particularly comfortable if the receiving partner has some big pillows to lie on, so their weight isn't all on their arms). Of course, you can also take turns giving each other oral sex, while the receiving partner watches.
For making a "contest" out of it: Play a game such as tennis or cards. Then watch a movie. During the movie, the partner who won the game gets a vibrator to play with (or can touch themselves as much as they like) while the loser is forbidden from even using their hands. Alternatively, let the winner pick a scene from the film to act out together afterwards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Books
If you prefer your erotica in the form of the written word, then you're in luck: you'll find a wider range of material, and often higher quality material, than in almost any other genre of porn.
Fiction: All Porn
Let's say you aren't as interested in literary "art" as you are in erotic novels which provide reliable masturbation fodder. For that, the following are the leading publishers (where each link will take you to an amazon.com page describing that publisher's most popular titles): or or for het men's erotica, for het women's erotica, or for gay, lesbian, and bi erotica (though please note that Alyson publishes far more than just erotica). With Blue Moon Books their Best of the Erotic Reader collection might be a good way to figure out which of their authors you like, while the equivalents for Black Lace are their collections.
Fiction: Half Porn, Half Literature
Let's say you'd like a fair amount of "stroke" material, but also wouldn't mind a few erotic stories thrown in the mix that either through literary arts, memorable characters, or thought-provoking situations engage your analytical mind as well. Or, let's say you know what you like, and would like to find a collection of stories specific to your preferences. In that case, this section is for you.

Fiction: All Literature
The novel The Butcher: And Other Erotica by Alina Reyes has received literary acclaim, while The Mammoth Book of Erotica is probably the best collection of erotic short stories which includes non-genre writers.
Non-Fiction: Real-Life Stories
These books don't contain fiction, rather they contain vignettes from real peoples' real lives. They may be hit and miss as erotica, but can definitely serve as ways to gain a few insights into sexual orientations other than your own.
Lesbian: Early Embraces III: More True-life Stories of Women Describing Their First Lesbian Experience and Up All Night: Adventures in Lesbian Sex
Gay: My First Time: Gay Men Describe Their First Same-Sex Experience - Volume 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comics
Right now the three best erotic comic artists are Phil Foglio, Colleen Coover, and Michael Manning: it's all fantastic stuff, and some of my favorite erotica of any kind.
Basically, you'd probably prefer Phil Foglio's pansexual work (the XXXenophile Collection volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) or Colleen Coover's all-female work (the Small Favors volumes 1 and 2) if you want something sexy and lighthearted, and you'd probably prefer Michael Manning's work (either the four-part series The Spider Garden, Hydrophidian, In a Metal Web, and In a Metal Web II, or else the stand-alone and more het-focused Tranceptor: The Way Station, or his collections Amerotica and Cathexis, or his art retrospective Inamorata) if you want something more stylized and exotic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audio Recordings
We hope this form of erotica grows in popularity, because it's a lot of fun. As it stands one of the best examples of audio CD's featuring the sounds of real-life sex is Encounters Erotica. Also, a company called Passion Press specializes in producing recordings of actors reading erotic stories: if that sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy, then you'll be pleased to learn audible.com carries several Passion Press titles. If you're not sure whether this is the sort of thing you'd enjoy, then you might want to check out Violet Blue's free podcast Open Source Sex, which in addition to interesting news, sex tips, reviews, and interviews, also features readings of short stories by leading erotic authors (of the early episodes the ones to try are 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 if you're interested in stories rather than interviews or news).
Basically, the unique thing about erotic audio recordings is that you can listen to them via headphones in almost any situation and nobody has to know :)

[edit] Marketed to gay and bisexual men
These magazines may include male-male and occasionally male-male-female content.
Gay pornographic magazines, sometimes known as adult magazines or gay sex magazines, are magazines that contain content of a sexual nature, typically regarded as pornography, that relates to men having sex with men. These magazines are targeted to gay and bisexual men, although they may have some female readers. Such publications provide photographs or other illustrations of nudity and sexual activities, including oral sex, anal sex, and other various forms of such activities. These magazines primarily serve to stimulate sexual thoughts and emotions. Some magazines are very general in their variety of illustrations, while others may be more specific and focus on particular activities or fetishes.
Many stars of gay pornographic videos appear in these magazines. See List of gay porn stars.
Prior to the 1970s, gay pornography was not widely distributed due to censorship laws. Non-pornographic "beefcake magazines" were widely available, and were generally purchased by gay men. See Beefcake magazines.

Pastors Steve and Kathy Gray, founders of World Revival Church in Kansas City, formerly known as the Smithton Outpouring, are leading voices in revival today. In 1996 they were so touched by the power of God that now this ministry impacts thousands of churches around the world with the fire of revival.
They are hosts and executive producers of The Steve & Kathy Show, which airs worldwide, bringing humor with a message and building a bridge to the unchurched, uninterested and unsaved. Appearing many times on The 700 Club, TBN and the Daystar Television Network, they have also been featured in Charisma Magazine, Newsweek and various newspapers and magazines worldwide. Steve is the founder of World Revival Network of Ministries and Churches and the World Revival School of Ministry, training new leaders in the principles of global revival.
Steve and Kathy are also the founders of The House of Hope and Healing, which provides compassionate prayer support 24 hours a day, offering the dignity of healing rather than the devastation of disease. An accomplished singer, songwriter and author, Pastor Steve has several published books including When The Kingdom Comes, Follow the Fire, Hope Heals, Pour Down From the Skies and Strike the Match. Kathy is the author of The Last Eve.

A tipster emailed me 7 days ago to confirm:
John Gladeau is HIV Positive and he did not contract it from his partner, Mitchell Kreigler.
It also reads: John forgets to take his pills.
Is that a good thing?

Sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about biological sex. For other uses, such as sexual intercourse and the social concept of gender, see Sex (disambiguation).
An organism's sex is defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
Sex in animals involves the fusion of a sperm and an egg cell.In biology, sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into male and female types (or sexes). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring that inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male gametes are small, motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.

Sexual reproduction
Main article: sexual reproduction
The life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms cycles through haploid and diploid stages.Sexual reproduction is a process where organisms form offspring that combine genetic traits from both parents. Chromosomes are passed on from one parent to another in this process. Each cell has half the chromosomes of the mother and half of the father's.[1] Genetic traits are contained within the dioxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of chromosomes — by combining one of each type of chromosomes from each parent, an organism is formed containing a doubled set of chromosomes. This double-chromosome stage is called "diploid", while the single chromosome stage is "haploid". Diploid organisms can, in turn, form haploid cells (gametes) that randomly contain one of each of the chromosome pairs, via a process called meiosis.[2] Meiosis also involves a stage of chromosomal crossover, in which regions of DNA are exchanged between matched types of chromosomes to form a new pair of mixed chromosomes. Crossing over and fertilization (the recombining of single sets of chromosomes to make a new diploid) result in the new organism containing a different set of genetic traits from either parent.
In many organisms the haploid stage has been reduced to just gametes specialized to recombine and form a new diploid organism; in others, the gametes are capable of undergoing cell division to produce multicellular haploid organisms. In either case, gametes may be externally similar, particularly in size (isogamy), or may have evolved an asymmetry such that the gametes are different in size and other aspects (anisogamy).[3] By convention, the larger gamete (called an ovum, or egg cell) is considered female, while the smaller gamete (called a spermatozoon, or sperm cell) is considered male. An individual that produces exclusively large gametes is female, and one that produces exclusively small gametes is male. An individual that produces both types of gametes is a hermaphrodite; in some cases hermaphrodites are able to self-fertilize and produce offspring on their own, without a second organism.[4]

Animals
Animal sexual behavior includes mating systems using sexual conflict to a greater extent than simpler organisms. Most sexually reproducing animals spend their lives as diploid organisms, with the haploid stage reduced to single cell gametes.[5] The gametes of animals have male and female forms—spermatozoa and egg cells. These gametes combine to form embryos which develop into a new organism.
The male gamete, a spermatozoan (produced within a testicle), is a small cell containing a single long flagellum which propels it.[6] Spermatozoa are extremely reduced cells, lacking many cellular components that would be necessary for embryonic development. They are specialized for motility, seeking out an egg cell and fusing with it in a process called fertilization.
Female gametes are egg cells (produced within ovaries), large immobile cells that contain the nutrients and cellular components necessary for a developing embryo.[7] Egg cells are often associated with other cells which support the development of the embryo, forming an egg. In mammals, the fertilized embryo instead develops within the female, receiving nutrition directly from its mother.
Animals are usually mobile and seek out a partner of the opposite sex for mating. Animals which live in the water can mate using external fertilization, where the eggs and sperm are released into and combine within the surrounding water.[8] Most animals that live outside of water, however, must transfer sperm from male to female to achieve internal fertilization.
In most birds, both excretion and reproduction is done through a single posterior opening, called the cloaca—male and female birds touch cloaca to transfer sperm, a process called "cloacal kissing".[9] In many other terrestrial animals, males use specialized sex organs to assist the transport of sperm—these male sex organs are called intromittent organs. In humans and other mammals this male organ is the penis, which enters the female reproductive tract (called the vagina) to achieve insemination—a process called sexual intercourse. The penis contains a tube through which semen (a fluid containing sperm) travels. In female mammals the vagina connects with the uterus, an organ which directly supports the development of a fertilized embryo within (a process called gestation).
Humans
The biology of human sexuality examines the influence of biological factors, such as organic and neurological response,[10] heredity, hormones, and sexual dysfunction;[11] it examines the basic functions of reproduction and the physical means to carry out sexual intercourse. The biological perspective helps to analyze the factors, and ultimately aids in understanding them and using them to deal with sexual problems.
Plants
Flowers are the sexual organs of flowering plants, usually containing both male and female parts.Main article: Plant sexuality
Like animals, plants have developed specialized male and female gametes.[12] Within most familiar plants, male gametes are contained within hard coats, forming pollen. The female gametes of plants are contained within ovules; once fertilized by pollen these form seeds which, like eggs, contain the nutrients necessary for the development of the embryonic plant.
Female (left) and male (right) cones are the sex organs of pines and other conifers.Many plants have flowers and these are the sexual organs of those plants. Flowers are usually hermaphroditic, producing both male and female gametes. The female parts, in the center of a flower, are the carpels—one or more of these may be merged to form a single pistil. Within carpels are ovules which develop into seeds after fertilization. The male parts of the flower are the stamens: these long filamentous organs are arranged between the pistil and the petals and produce pollen at their tips. When a pollen grain lands upon the top of a carpel, the tissues of the plant react to transport the grain down into the carpel to merge with an ovule, eventually forming seeds.
In pines and other conifers the sex organs are cones and have male and female forms. The more familiar female cones are typically more durable, containing ovules within them. Male cones are smaller and produce pollen which is transported by wind to land in female cones. As with flowers, seeds form within the female cone after pollination.
Because plants are immobile, they depend upon passive methods for transporting pollen grains to other plants. Many plants, including conifers and grasses, produce lightweight pollen which is carried by wind to neighboring plants. Other plants have heavier, sticky pollen that is specialized for transportation by insects. The plants attract these insects with nectar-containing flowers. Insects transport the pollen as they move to other flowers, which also contain female reproductive organs, resulting in pollination.
Mushrooms are produced as part of fungal sexual reproduction.
Fungi
Main article: Mating in fungi
Most fungi reproduce sexually, having both a haploid and diploid stage in their life cycles. These fungi are typically isogamous, lacking male and female specialization: haploid fungi grow into contact with each other and then fuse their cells. In some of these cases the fusion is asymmetric, and the cell which donates only a nucleus (and not accompanying cellular material) could arguably be considered "male".[13]
Some fungi, including baker's yeast, have mating types that create a duality similar to male and female roles. Yeast with the same mating type will not fuse with each other to form diploid cells, only with yeast carrying the other mating type.[14]
Fungi produce mushrooms as part of their sexual reproduction. Within the mushroom diploid cells are formed, later dividing into haploid spores—the height of the mushroom aids the dispersal of these sexually produced offspring.
Sex helps the spread of advantageous traits through recombination. The diagrams compare evolution of allele frequency in a sexual population (a) and an asexual population (b). The vertical axis shows frequency and the horizontal axis shows time. The alleles a/A and b/B occur at random. The advantageous combination AB arises rapidly with recombination (a), but must arise independently in (b).
Evolution
Main article: Evolution of sex
Sexual reproduction first appeared about a billion years ago, evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[15] The reason for the initial evolution of sex, and the reason it has survived to the present, are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring, sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits, and that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous traits.
Sexual reproduction is a process specific to eukaryotes, organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria. In addition to animals, plants, and fungi, other eukaryotes (eg. the malaria parasite) also engage in sexual reproduction. Some bacteria use conjugation to transfer genetic material between bacteria; while not the same as sexual reproduction, this also results in the mixture of genetic traits.
What is considered defining of sexual reproduction is the difference between the gametes and the binary nature of fertilization. Multiplicity of gamete types within a species would still be considered a form of sexual reproduction. However, no third gamete is known in multicellular animals.[16][17][18]
Sex determination
Main article: Sex-determination system
The most basic sexual system is one in which all organisms are hermaphrodites, producing both male and female gametes—this is true of some animals (eg. snails) and the majority of flowering plants.[19] In many cases, however, specialization of sex has evolved such that some organisms produce only male or only female gametes. The biological cause for an organism developing into one sex or the other is called sex determination.
In the majority of species with sex specialization organisms are either male (producing only male gametes) or female (producing only female gametes). A few exceptions exist—for example, in the roundworm C. elegans the two sexes are hermaphrodite and male (a system called androdioecy).
Sometimes an organism's development is intermediate between male and female, a condition called intersex. Sometimes intersex individuals are called "hermaphrodite" but, unlike biological hermaphrodites, intersex individuals are unusual cases and are not typically fertile in both male and female aspects.
Genetic
Like humans and other mammals, the common fruit fly has an XY sex determination system.In genetic sex determination systems, an organism's sex is determined by the genome it inherits. Genetic sex determines usually depends on asymmetrically inherited sex chromosomes which carry genetic features that influence development; sex may be determined either by the presence of a sex chromosome or by how many the organism has. Genetic sex determination, because it is determined by chromosome assortment, usually results in a 1:1 ratio of male and female offspring.
Humans and other mammals have an XY sex determination system: the Y chromosome carries factors responsible for triggering male development. The default sex, in the absence of a Y chromosome, is female. Thus, XX mammals are female and XY are male. XY sex determination is found in other organisms, including the common fruit fly and some plants.[19] In some cases, including in the fruit fly, it is the number of X chromosomes that determines sex rather than the presence of a Y chromosome.
In birds, which have a ZW sex-determination system, the opposite is true: the W chromosome carries factors responsible for female development, and default development is male.[20] In this case ZZ individuals are male and ZW are female. The majority of butterflies and moths also have a ZW sex-determination system. In both XY and ZW sex determination systems the sex chromosome carrying the critical factors is often significantly smaller, carrying little more than the genes necessary for triggering the development of a given sex.[21]
Many insects use a sex determination system based on the number of sex chromosomes. This is called XX/XO sex determination—the O indicates the absence of the sex chromosome. All other chromosomes in these organisms are diploid, but organisms may inherit one or two X chromosomes. In field crickets, for example, insects with a single X chromosome develop as male, while those with two develop as female.[22] In the nematode C. elegans most worms are self-fertilizing XX hermaphrodites, but occasionally abnormalities in chromosome inheritance regularly give rise to individuals with only one X chromosome—these XO individuals are fertile males (and half their offspring are male).[23]
Other insects, including honey bees and ants, use a haplodiploid sex-determination system.[24] In this case diploid individuals are generally female, and haploid individuals (which develop from unfertilized eggs) are male. This sex-determination system results in highly biased sex ratios, as the sex of offspring is determined by fertilization rather than the assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Clownfish are initially male; the largest fish in a group becomes female.
Nongenetic
For many species sex is not determined by inherited traits, but instead by environmental factors experienced during development or later in life. Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism. In some turtles, for example, males are produced at lower incubation temperatures than females; this difference in critical temperatures can be as little as 1-2°C.
Many fish change sex over the course of their lifespan, a phenomenon called sequential hermaphroditism. In clownfish, smaller fish are male, and the dominant and largest fish in a group becomes female. In many wrasses the opposite is true—most fish are initially female and become male when they reach a certain size. Sequential hermaphrodites may produce both types of gametes over the course of their lifetime, but at any given point they are either female or male.
In some ferns the default sex is hermaphrodite, but ferns which grow in soil that has previously supported hermaphrodites are influenced by residual hormones to instead develop as male.[25]
Sexual dimorphism
Common pheasants are sexually dimorphic in both size and appearance.Main article: sexual dimorphism
Many animals have differences between the male and female sexes in size and appearance, a phenomenon called sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphisms are often associated with sexual selection - the competition between individuals of one sex to mate with the opposite sex.[26] Antlers in male deer, for example, are used in combat between males to win reproductive access to female deer. In many cases the male of a species is larger in size; in mammals species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems—presumably due to selection for success in competition with other males.
Other animals, including most insects and many fish, have larger females. This may be associated with the cost of producing egg cells, which requires more nutrition than producing sperm—larger females are able to produce more eggs.[27] Occasionally this dimorphism is extreme, with males reduced to living as parasites dependent on the female.
In birds, males often have a more colorful appearance and may have features (like the long tail of male peacocks) that would seem to put the organism at a disadvantage (e.g. bright colors would seem to make a bird more visible to predators). One proposed explanation for this is the handicap principle.[28] This hypothesis says that, by demonstrating he can survive with such handicaps, the male is advertising his genetic fitness to females—traits that will benefit daughters as well, who will not be encumbered with such handicaps.
Sex differences in humans include, generally, a larger size and more body hair in men; women have breasts, wider hips, and a higher body fat percentage.

Introduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).

Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Either Women or Men
Lubes
For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Introduction
Pornography can be one of the delights of life: it can be arousing, it can be fun figuring out what kinds you like, it can sometimes be a way for partners to get ideas for things they might like to try together, and some of it is good for a laugh. Pornography can enhance masturbation, and masturbation can be used to either learn to reach orgasm more easily or to learn greater orgasmic control.
The problem is that not all porn is well-done. And, unlike mainstream movies and books, typically neither your morning newspaper nor everyday conversation will point you towards the better stuff. As such our hope is that the following guide saves you time.
This guide was last updated on September 27, 2007, and is divided into separate sections for erotic videos, books, comics, audio recordings, and free web sites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Videos
How to select and watch adult videos...
Once you've found a favorite video, try others created by the same director, or featuring the same performer.
Fast forward through anything that turns you off or bores you.
It's traditional in heterosexual videos for each sex scene to end with the male actor pulling out and ejaculating somewhere on the outside of his partner's body, rather than internally. Some viewers find this annoying, but at this time it's unfortunately hard to avoid, except via all-female videos or the fast-forward button.
Check your DVD player's instruction manual to see if it has a "point A to point B" feature, in case you find a section you particularly like.
How to rent adult videos...
For most people, rent-by-mail will be the most comfortable and convenient way to rent adult videos. As it stands AdultDVDEmpire appears to offer the widest selection, and we were pleased with the quality of their service the time we tried it. All links below are to the AdultDVDEmpire rental page for that title.
Het videos which may be good choices for couples
Beautiful (directed by Michael Raven, and featuring Julia Ann - note: this award-winning film has excellent production values and solid acting, as such it may be a perfect place to start)
White Lightning (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn and Chloe)
Edge Play (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Marilyn Chambers and Chloe)
Taken (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn - this film features a kidnapping fantasy theme, similar to that found in some romance novels)
Thighs Wide Open (directed by Fred Lincoln, and featuring Chloe)
One Size Fits All (directed by Candida Royale - notes: "softer" than almost any other het videos you're likely to find, and the fourth of the five sections of this film is probably the best of the bunch)
Eyes of Desire 2 (directed by Candida Royale - note: a bit edgier than One Size Fits All but still relatively soft by industry standards)
Het videos with a more "artistic" or "serious" edge
Unreal (directed by Antonio Passolini, and featuring Chloe - the sex in this film is incredibly intense, we were very impressed both with the quality of the direction and with Chloe's performance)
Club Sin (directed by Antonio Passolini, featuring Ashlyn Gere and Chloe, and involving an intriguing female-dominant plot)
Fashionistas (fetish/BDSM focus, a bit edgier than most other films mentioned here)
Het videos focusing on the best scenes from just one actress
Note: These "Deep Inside" films often features scenes with unusual amounts of chemistry, or scenes with the actresses' real-life partners, since the actress is picking their favorite scenes.
Deep Inside Chloe (an extremely popular and enthusiastic performer with an all-natural body, and a favorite of many men and women who have seen a lot of videos, as well as of critics - this film in particular featured some interesting commentary from Chloe about her films and career)
Deep Inside Nina Hartley (a particularly articulate and outspoken proponent of first ammendment rights, in addition to being a very popular performer, this is the same Nina Hartley who created the "Nina Hartley's Guides" series of educational tapes)
Deep Inside Jill Kelly (directed by Veronica Hart, and containing several scenes of Jill performing with real-life partners)
Het videos with educational overtones
Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women 1 is a good example: it's technically porn, but was created by a sex educator with the intent of also serving an educational role through demonstrating realistic technique. Featuring Tristan Taormino, Nina Hartley, and Chloe.
Het "all-sex" or "gonzo" series
Note: "gonzo" indicates an informal filming style, with the person behind the camera becoming a part of the film. They're often a lot of fun, with sex that's a bit more real and less staged, even if production budgets are lower. A good strategy is to sample one film from each series until you find a series whose director you like.
The Shane's World Series (Shane's films - particularly some of the earlier ones - tend to be very lighthearted and fun. The "Shane's World" and "College Invasion" series are her mixed-gender series, while her "Slumber Party" series is her all-female series)
Seymore Butts and His Mystery Girl (by Seymore Butts: note that some tapes in this series feature Seymore Butts performing with Shane, at a time when they were real-life partners)
Amateur Angels No. 7 (by Luc Wylder, a popular place to start)
The Voyeur Series (by John Leslie)
Het videos featuring an all-female cast
Note: "all-female" doesn't necessarily mean "lesbian" - basically all of the films in this section were still created primarily with a heterosexual male audience in mind. There do exist films made by and for a lesbian audience (for example those created by S.I.R. Video), but unfortunately AdultDVDEmpire doesn't carry any of them at this time, and I don't currently know any other way to rent them by mail. For this kind of film you'll need to purchase rather than rent, in other words.
The Slumber Party Series (directed by Shane - films in this series are a good place to start)
Chloe's 'I Came, Did You?' (by Chloe - there are several more similarly-titled films in this same series)
Femme 2 (featuring Chloe, with a hot tub and swimming pool theme - a fun mixture of hardcore and softcore)
Wide Open Spaces (directed by Wesley Emerson, and featuring Kelly O'Dell and Nina Hartley)
Bisexual
Note: Essentially all het videos will feature at least one scene with two women - the term "bisexual" when applied to adult videos simply means that the m en will have sex with each other as well.
Bi Now Pay Later
Gay
It's hard to go wrong when picking a film directed by the the famed Chi Chi LaRue. Another option is to use www.gayvnawards.com to find last year's award winners, then search for them by name.
For men-only videos featuring serious BDSM play, those offered by Shotgun Video (although quite extreme) are some of the best-regarded.
BDSM
Note: You may also wish to check out BDSM education films, which may feature more realistic play.
Ivy Manor: The Beginning (this film should be a particular treat for anyone who likes rubber fashion clothing)
Ivy Manor: Jennifer's Initiation (the sequel to The Beginning, similar except featuring less dialogue and more extreme latex gear)
For additional suggestions and reviews...
See either The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos, or the more recent The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn, both by Violet Blue.
If you're watching with your partner...
Here are a few ideas, based on suggestions from Violet Blue's book:
For waiting until after the film to have sex: Don't be surprised if the sex is hotter than normal, even if the film isn't that great - just leave the remote within easy reach so that either of you can fast forward through ny material which turns him or her off. Another alternative (frustrating but in a fun way) is to watch the entire film without touching yourselves or each other, and when the video is over to write down a list of your favorite parts, or things you wish you'd seen in the film, and later on swap your lists for play.
For having sex while watching the film: One easy way to do this is watch the film with your hands in each other's laps, under a blanket: this can be especially hot if you make a "rule" that you can only touch each other, but not yourselves. On the other hand, if intercourse is what you'll prefer, then one possibility is for one partner to straddle the other while facing the TV, and another possibility is doggie-style facing the TV (particularly comfortable if the receiving partner has some big pillows to lie on, so their weight isn't all on their arms). Of course, you can also take turns giving each other oral sex, while the receiving partner watches.
For making a "contest" out of it: Play a game such as tennis or cards. Then watch a movie. During the movie, the partner who won the game gets a vibrator to play with (or can touch themselves as much as they like) while the loser is forbidden from even using their hands. Alternatively, let the winner pick a scene from the film to act out together afterwards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Books
If you prefer your erotica in the form of the written word, then you're in luck: you'll find a wider range of material, and often higher quality material, than in almost any other genre of porn.
Fiction: All Porn
Let's say you aren't as interested in literary "art" as you are in erotic novels which provide reliable masturbation fodder. For that, the following are the leading publishers (where each link will take you to an amazon.com page describing that publisher's most popular titles): or or for het men's erotica, for het women's erotica, or for gay, lesbian, and bi erotica (though please note that Alyson publishes far more than just erotica). With Blue Moon Books their Best of the Erotic Reader collection might be a good way to figure out which of their authors you like, while the equivalents for Black Lace are their collections.
Fiction: Half Porn, Half Literature
Let's say you'd like a fair amount of "stroke" material, but also wouldn't mind a few erotic stories thrown in the mix that either through literary arts, memorable characters, or thought-provoking situations engage your analytical mind as well. Or, let's say you know what you like, and would like to find a collection of stories specific to your preferences. In that case, this section is for you.
Something for Everyone: The Best American Erotica 2007
Stories for Couples: Sweet Life: Erotic Fantasies for Couples
Bisexual: Best Bisexual Women's Erotica and The Best of Both Worlds: Bisexual Erotica
Lesbian: Best Lesbian Erotica 2007
Gay: Best Gay Erotica 2007
Growing Older: Ripe Fruit: Erotica for Well-Seasoned Lovers
Science Fiction: The Bachelor Machine and Erotic Fantastic: The Best of Circlet Press 1992-2002 (note: Circlet Press specializes in sci-fi/fantasy erotica)
BDSM/Fetish: Anne Rice's The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty's Punishment, and Beauty's Release. Carol Queen's The Leather Daddy and The Femme. Kim Corum's Breaking the Girl. Molly Weatherfield's Carrie's Story. Laura Antoniou's The Marketplace, The Slave, The Trainer, The Academy, and The Reunion. Also the anthologies Best Bondage Erotica 2 and Best Fetish Erotica.
Ultra-Short Short Stories: Five Minute Erotica and Down and Dirty: 69 Super Sexy Short-Shorts
Stories Told in the First-Person: Hers: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Her and His: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Him
Female Perspective: Best Women's Erotica 2007
Romance: Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance - Volume 15
Sex Toys: Sex Toy Tales
Food and Sex: Juicy Erotica
Fiction: All Literature
The novel The Butcher: And Other Erotica by Alina Reyes has received literary acclaim, while The Mammoth Book of Erotica is probably the best collection of erotic short stories which includes non-genre writers.
Non-Fiction: Real-Life Stories
These books don't contain fiction, rather they contain vignettes from real peoples' real lives. They may be hit and miss as erotica, but can definitely serve as ways to gain a few insights into sexual orientations other than your own.
Lesbian: Early Embraces III: More True-life Stories of Women Describing Their First Lesbian Experience and Up All Night: Adventures in Lesbian Sex
Gay: My First Time: Gay Men Describe Their First Same-Sex Experience - Volume 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comics
Right now the three best erotic comic artists are Phil Foglio, Colleen Coover, and Michael Manning: it's all fantastic stuff, and some of my favorite erotica of any kind.
Basically, you'd probably prefer Phil Foglio's pansexual work (the XXXenophile Collection volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) or Colleen Coover's all-female work (the Small Favors volumes 1 and 2) if you want something sexy and lighthearted, and you'd probably prefer Michael Manning's work (either the four-part series The Spider Garden, Hydrophidian, In a Metal Web, and In a Metal Web II, or else the stand-alone and more het-focused Tranceptor: The Way Station, or his collections Amerotica and Cathexis, or his art retrospective Inamorata) if you want something more stylized and exotic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audio Recordings
We hope this form of erotica grows in popularity, because it's a lot of fun. As it stands one of the best examples of audio CD's featuring the sounds of real-life sex is Encounters Erotica. Also, a company called Passion Press specializes in producing recordings of actors reading erotic stories: if that sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy, then you'll be pleased to learn audible.com carries several Passion Press titles. If you're not sure whether this is the sort of thing you'd enjoy, then you might want to check out Violet Blue's free podcast Open Source Sex, which in addition to interesting news, sex tips, reviews, and interviews, also features readings of short stories by leading erotic authors (of the early episodes the ones to try are 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 if you're interested in stories rather than interviews or news).
Basically, the unique thing about erotic audio recordings is that you can listen to them via headphones in almost any situation and nobody has to know :)

[edit] Marketed to gay and bisexual men
These magazines may include male-male and occasionally male-male-female content.
Gay pornographic magazines, sometimes known as adult magazines or gay sex magazines, are magazines that contain content of a sexual nature, typically regarded as pornography, that relates to men having sex with men. These magazines are targeted to gay and bisexual men, although they may have some female readers. Such publications provide photographs or other illustrations of nudity and sexual activities, including oral sex, anal sex, and other various forms of such activities. These magazines primarily serve to stimulate sexual thoughts and emotions. Some magazines are very general in their variety of illustrations, while others may be more specific and focus on particular activities or fetishes.
Many stars of gay pornographic videos appear in these magazines. See List of gay porn stars.
Prior to the 1970s, gay pornography was not widely distributed due to censorship laws. Non-pornographic "beefcake magazines" were widely available, and were generally purchased by gay men. See Beefcake magazines.

Pastors Steve and Kathy Gray, founders of World Revival Church in Kansas City, formerly known as the Smithton Outpouring, are leading voices in revival today. In 1996 they were so touched by the power of God that now this ministry impacts thousands of churches around the world with the fire of revival.
They are hosts and executive producers of The Steve & Kathy Show, which airs worldwide, bringing humor with a message and building a bridge to the unchurched, uninterested and unsaved. Appearing many times on The 700 Club, TBN and the Daystar Television Network, they have also been featured in Charisma Magazine, Newsweek and various newspapers and magazines worldwide. Steve is the founder of World Revival Network of Ministries and Churches and the World Revival School of Ministry, training new leaders in the principles of global revival.
Steve and Kathy are also the founders of The House of Hope and Healing, which provides compassionate prayer support 24 hours a day, offering the dignity of healing rather than the devastation of disease. An accomplished singer, songwriter and author, Pastor Steve has several published books including When The Kingdom Comes, Follow the Fire, Hope Heals, Pour Down From the Skies and Strike the Match. Kathy is the author of The Last Eve.

A tipster emailed me 7 days ago to confirm:
John Gladeau is HIV Positive and he did not contract it from his partner, Mitchell Kreigler.
It also reads: John forgets to take his pills.
Is that a good thing?

Is Fat Ugly?
Monday July 21, 2003
One forum member asks the intriguing question: "I was wondering how many people out there think that fat is ugly? I sometimes see women that are a bit heavy or a bit, as some people like to call it "full figured" and personally I find these women to be very attractive." As you can imagine, this sparked a heated debate about what we think is pretty. What do you think? Come join the discussion.

Fat people can have good looking features and fat people can have ugly features too.They however are not accepted in soceity as good looking.When I say fat I mean past thick, solid, sturdy and that stuff.Literally fat I mean.No matter how fat you are you can have good looking features but soceity refuses to accept fat people as good looking really.Look at the lady from the biggest loser Gilian.She always had good looking features and I’m sure some guys saw she had the potential to be good looking but because she was so fat her features were not acknowledged.I’m not gay or anything but look at Biggie Smalls on the other hand not only was he fat but ugly.No matter how much weight he woulda lost he woulda stil been ugly.

I think Skinny people can be just as ugly as fat people. Sometimes people are just not attractive in general. Could be bad teeth, unporpotional figure even though they are correct weight. I think people without a weight problem need to take a better look in the mirror and recognize the flaws they have just as well as heavyset people. No one is perfect and in order to be you have to spend thousands of bucks to be. In most would consider perfect to be fake.

It’s ridiculous to think that all fat people are ugly. There are PLENTY of ugly skinny people. But unfortunately, in this society, fat people are not viewed as beautiful. I’ve seen many times, beautiful fat women who can’t get dates, while there skinny and unattractive counterparts get the hottest guys! But there are some cultures that view FAT as being beautiful. Tocarra is beautiful (even though she shed some pounds) Beautiful AND ugly people come in all shapes and sizes!
April 6, 2007 at 3:32 am(6) dave says:
Lets face it-Life isn’t always fair.Whether we admit it or not,society has conditioned us to recognize that which is beautiful in appearence (which all of us hope to have)and what is ugly.I am neither proud nor ashamed to plainly state that I was ugly as a kid,as a teenager,as a young adult,and as as I am now at 54.I was thin until my 20’s and have been obese since then.Having been recently diagnosed as diabetic,I am currently losing weight rapidly,but I have no illusions about ugliness somehow dissappearing with my weight loss.People in my situation (and there are many of us)have no use for the “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”crap.We’ve come to terms with how we appear to the world a long time ago,and we go forward as best we can.As Gino Vannelli sang it in his song ‘Ugly Man’-”…and how my heart is clear,cause I have from what I do–And I do just what I am’.

“…unfortunately, in this society, fat people are not viewed as beautiful”
It would be unfortunate if fat/unhealthy people were perceived as beautiful. We are killing ourselves with food and all people care about is not hurting other peoples feelings. A truly attractive person is someone who noticed they were getting fat and then did something about it and now lead a healthy lifestyle.
April 29, 2007 at 4:32 pm(9) EmmANy says:
well actually being fat is a hell for me!! i want to do things but scared of what might pipol gonna think of me…. they always says that fat person are very lazy but ill tell to you it is not true!!
and i red a book about how to be thin it says their that if you are born fat your chances too be thin is not that big.. so i wish also that fat person can also be accepted.. and dont be discriminated
May 17, 2007 at 4:47 pm(10) mara says:
fat is not always ugly if you carry it well i myself need to loose weight but i have never found it hard to get a guy. skinny people are not always good looking.your face is forever fat is not.i can loose weight but some will always be ugly not to sound mean.but im sick of people who make fun just cause people are different. we all have flaws. ugly feet a big hairy mole something no one is perfect.
May 29, 2007 at 9:35 pm(11) pat says:
fat is extremely ugly to me. i have heavy friends but they are not attractive at all. when i express that i find very lean to be attractive, i get mocked, railroaded and told off. because fat is so normal now in america, lean people are becoming the butt of jokes. i am sick of it. fat is UGLY.
June 3, 2007 at 1:03 am(12) Salina says:
people come in all shapes and sizes. Society NEEDS to embrace that. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes as well. I have seen ugly skinny people and I have seen ugly fat people- and the other way around. I am not saying that being too overweight is healthy or anything, but neither is being too thin. It is unfortunate that people, like Pat, are SO pathetic that they must generalize that all overweight people are ugly….that is just rediculous. It also shows that the people who talk like that aren’t very good looking themselves ( when your attitude is ugly, so are you…..) For future reference, different people are attracted to different things
June 4, 2007 at 2:35 pm(13) Shannon says:
FAT PEOPLE ARE SO UGLY! stop eating and go to the gym. do you see fat people who are rich? no. do you see fat people who are happy? no. whos pretty in hollywood, or even the real world? SKINNY PEOPLE! its never going to change, and won’t be different. I guess fat people just have to deal with it.
June 10, 2007 at 11:34 am(14) louise kelly says:
society is unfair it really is alot o us can,t help being heavy and having a fat face the scoiety of to day needs a wake up call.itsn,t always what you look on the outside what counts and how you come across at people.it girls with fat faces have to cheek implants just to suit the media needs which are right down selfish and shallow ,men reject girls who might not win a beauty contest as a reject and to be hated by all. who see her just like the ugly duckling.
June 13, 2007 at 8:02 pm(15) sam says:
umm…shannon you are really rude and do you always see rich skinney ppl?? NO, do you always see happy skinny ppl? HELL NO!
sop i think you need to stop being so ignorent and take a lookat the real world NOT EVERY1 IS PERFECT!! im sure your not SKINNY PPL ARE UGLY TO!!!
June 13, 2007 at 9:19 pm(16) nyjaiuh says:
Fat is pretty on some people like me im 5′8 has nice face i could go for an plus size model and also i always has boyfriends thier are some people think we are ugly because we have extra skin on our body but to be real people are ugly when they are not naturally skinny
June 13, 2007 at 9:31 pm(17) Stonie says:
I don’t think fat is ugly to me it depends on how you carry yourself but personally i think fat women should do it big every time we go out because we are depict as an laughing stock to society I’m also plus size very attractive 5′8 i can go for an plus size model always carry myself correct just because we have extra skin on our body dosen’t mean we are ugly i mean i never find trouble with getting an date and also fat women we supposed to have an go personality about us . but to be real all these diets and people getting skinny to the point they are scary that’s ugly if you are not naturally skinny don’t try to be because you will come out looking like star jones and shannon get an damn life .
June 14, 2007 at 6:04 pm(18) Pywakitt says:
I have seen enough Fat for a lifetime living in Utah!! The shows that reward these men and women for being obese is ridiculous and very unhealth! They dnce now and die from heart failure later! I am by no means justifying to thin either! These Fat Pushers should be ashamed of themselves for putting on a circus of “Fat Dancers”. They may be the sweetest people with all the right moves but Fat is UGLY!!no matter! Fat woman should excercise by pushing away from the table.
June 17, 2007 at 3:25 pm(19) Lisa says:
I just recently lost forty pounds. I look better than I ever have and now wear an 8. I used to wear an 18 and was toldI was pretty, just too heavy. I’n now slim, but I won’t date at the moment. I’m very scarred from my experiences. I look great on the outside, but will always be a fat girl on the inside.
June 22, 2007 at 11:53 pm(20) kool says:
ok so yea im on the bigger side i was average up until my sophmore year in highschool then i put on the weight for football and never lost it now i do have strong stomache arms legs etc. it just has a little layer of fat over it i mean i played football so is that really fat i would say yea but honestly as long as you can stand there and say im better then this if all i care about is hwo fat i am i have no life self confidence i may be fat or obese but i dress well im very clean shaven smell good all the time drive a nice car and carry myself to a T thats how it has to work if you dont care then people wont care to look image is only a little of looks most image is about how you carry the look if u look down at the ground walk hunched over you look a mess but if u stand tall smile and are firm you look good so really weither your skinny as a tooth pick or fat as a whale you gotta learn how to carry yourself thats the only way and if people dont like you F**** them they dont know you for all they know you could be a good fun person
June 23, 2007 at 4:17 pm(21) Beck says:
I think that overweight people are beautiful and thin people are beautiful. Unfortunetly not all people are accepting of larger figures than others. I am on the heavier side and I hate it! Anywhere I go I feel like people are judgeing me. Sometimes I wear sunglasses all day just so i dont have to make eye contact with anyone.
July 1, 2007 at 9:05 pm(22) diemond says:
fat is not ugly im plus sized and im only 13 i want to b a model and i have been 2 several modeling companies that have offered me contracts but i did not have the money at the time dont judge people by the outside i believe im sexy and therefore other people do 2 its all about ur swagger not wat u look like skinner people have higher selfesteem because the are excepted more than fat people bit believe me its all in the confidence [o and by the way not all fat people r unheatlthy i am perfect healthy i cheerlead swim blay b-ball and football and im a great dancer all that lazy fat people crap is just a stereotype]
July 4, 2007 at 7:49 pm(23) Thomas says:
Almost everybody believes Fat is Ugly because it is seen as unhealthy. Being too skinny is just as unhealthy. A first impression of a woman who is healthy and in shape is more attractive than a woman who is fat or thin. First impressions count a lot. If anyone is over or under weigh please practice eating and exercising as healthily as you can and IN TIME you will GAIN SELF-CONFIDENCE, have LESS HEALTH PROBLEMS, LIVE LONGER, be more likely to be HAPPIER, and be MORE LIKLEY TO ATTRACT A BETTER MAN. Please think of your own health benifits FIRST
July 4, 2007 at 9:23 pm(24) Carrie says:
ya know…I have been heavy since my 1st child, who is 17, I am constantly told I have a beautiful face, but have been struggling trying to lose weight for years. I know what I want, but I don’t know why I can’t just do it. I am working on myself though. Sometimes being overweight has more to it than just overeating. Once I love ME, for ME, then I think losing the weight and getting healthy can work. We have to love ourselves people. And yes, there is beauty in everyone….Lets love everyone!!!
July 5, 2007 at 3:56 pm(25) cHaNtAl says:
I HATE BEING FAT!!! look at all the magazines and fashion shows it makes me feel bad about myself! I HATE IT!!! ppl make you feel ugly too they make u feel like your totally ugly!!! guys dont go for us either !! im gonna be a virgin for like the rest of my life cuz of that!!!!!!!!!

I have seen many “fat” people who I think are good looking because they have a nice looking face, to my kind of taste, and dress nice. What drives me nuts is when someone is a size 20 and refuses to acknowledge it and wears clothes that are way too small in size. Face reality. Wear clothes that fit. I have gained 35 pounds in the last 5 years, partly due to muscle (working out) and partly due to just not being a young little 20-yr-old any more. Metabolism slows down. I have donated most of my ’skinny jeans’ to charity. Life goes on. My husband still thinks I’m hot. I’ve also seen people who are anorexically thin and that is NOT a pretty sight. I shouldn’t be able to count your ribs without an X ray. Ick. Eat something! Drink some water and juice! Good lord.
Also, I consider my body to be “unproportional” [this is for Amy] and so what? It’s in my genes. I can’t help it that my hips come one size larger than my waist (making it really hard to shop for pants) and two sizes larger than my bust. This has always been the case, since puberty. Nothing I can do about it except breast implant surgery and I’ve decided I don’t want to spend my money that way, nor do I want to undergo surgery and painful recovery just for something cosmetic. My choice. If you don’t like it, I don’t care.
I have a couple of relatives that I love dearly but are extremely overweight and while I don’t think they are ugly, I think they are pretty in fact, I do wish they would lose weight so that they would have the health problems, including pain in the back and legs.
July 10, 2007 at 4:33 pm(28) Sophia says:
Typo in my last paragraph — probably obvious but I meant to say “so that they would NOT have the health problems…”
July 12, 2007 at 6:53 pm(29) Anna says:
Fat is unhealthy. It’s normal and ok to not be attracted to fat people. That doesn’t make me a bad person. To me, fat=ugly. And you know what, to someone else, blonde=ugly, and to someone else, short=ugly. You can’t argue a preference. I am not attracted to people with rotten teeth, physical deformities, or severely overweight. It may not be kind, but it’s life. Looks DO matter.
July 12, 2007 at 6:57 pm(30) Krystal says:
PS, I am TIRED of the “real women have curves” crap. When did “curves” become “folds”? I am very healthy, eat light, exercise, and am thin. Does this not make me a “real woman”? I enjoy taking care of my body, it’s the only one I’ll ever have.
BTW, this is not a dig on women who are bigger. We come in all sizes and shapes, but to hate on women who go out of their way to be thin makes large women no better then the snotty kids yelling “fatty” to every overweight woman walking by. Respect goes both ways.
July 16, 2007 at 10:10 pm(31) i dont care says:
fat people suck i’m fat and i say that were all ugly you can all be motivationa if you want being skinny is only way to feel happy with self you can huv these little motivational meetings about fat is beautiful but its no it will never be and thats that so stop making up lies saying fat is beautiful.*
July 23, 2007 at 4:47 am(32) Joy says:
Oh come on get over yourselves. Really people everyone is beautiful no matter who you are! Stop acting like you are still in high school and grow up. Fat thin we are who we are. Nothing can change that. Everyone is special. Really! You control what happens. A more heaviset person might be very happy eating food. And the thinner person might be happier exercising. Instead of complaining about it go and help each other out. If you think someone is fat and you really dislike it go talk to that person and see if you can help them exercise. If you think someone is thin then talk about yummy recipes. That is what life is about.
July 29, 2007 at 4:12 pm(33) Joyce says:
Oy. I think I’m going to start a new movement on the internet: “Ungrammatical is Ugly.” That’s right, folks, people who can’t be bothered to treat the English language with the same respect and care they would lavish on a stray dog…Ugly! People who are flaunting the fact that they didn’t pay attention in third grade and are proud of it…Ugly! People who can’t be bothered to hunt for that pesky “shift” key so they can type the occasional capital letter…Ugly! One more thing, guys: I have never once met anyone who has been browbeaten or insulted for preferring thin over fat. So, please, can we put this urban myth out of its misery right here and now?
August 18, 2007 at 11:42 pm(34) Sol says:
I think all this preoccupation with ugly, beautiful, fat and skinny is a distrationary technique. I am a ‘recovered’anorexic and struggle everyday to not get caught up in the endless trap of superficiality. Why aren’t we debating what intelligence or intergrity is? Instead all most people think about is how they look. What do you think happens as you age fat or not beauty fades. This world is set up so we all spend our time worrying about crap. Alcohol and smoking kill more people then being fat does. The reason weight gets attacked is cause its visable and easy to attack. History shows humans love to make groups of induviduals into ‘the other’ its an us and them mentality that keeps us all at odds with eachother. Please stop buying into the hype, think about who controls what you think is beautiful and take back control of your ideas and ideals. Its hard but HEAPS more rewarding to stop distracting yourself and buying your way to happiness and instead realise that your mark on this earth is measured by the type of person you choose to be. Hollywood is another planet, we live in the real world and our happiness lies in moving toward addressing the real issues, trust me beauty isn’t one of them!
August 25, 2007 at 1:12 am(35) Over Weight says:
I am over weight. The space is intentional. I am over constantly thinking about how much I weigh, and what people think about my body. Health is beauty, so the best thing to do for myself is eat healthy food and work out. Compalining that others do not find me beautiful, or critisizing people for their ideals, will do me no good. Fat people, myself included, need to stop hating ourselves before we expect anybody else to see beauty in us.
August 30, 2007 at 2:57 pm(36) hilary says:
ok here’s the deal…fat people are unhappy because “beautiful people ” are considered to be thinner fit persons.telling fat people that they are beautiful and tht they have great features or amazing personalities depress them even more uz they simply knw that ur being untruthful with them. i knw wut im saying cuz i’ve been fat for 5 years im in highschool and its rly hard …im battling with depression by myself . you’re probably saying wow that girl have issues. it’s true it’s hard to be stuck in this figure . go work out … follow diets …simple words not so easy to apply. ” im fat n beautiful and im happy ” if you ever hear this i can guarantee u that they are in big denial .
September 1, 2007 at 8:13 pm(37) andrea says:
I like how every time weight and appearance are mentioned it’s somehow automatically linked with femininity and being a woman. So typically patriarchal. “Fat is unattractive? Of course fat women are unattractive!” I never saw any discernment of gender in the original article. Fat men should be considered just as ugly as fat women (not that I think fat=ugly) considering men don’t have anything biologically speaking to stall and hinder their weight loss. They lose weight so fast and so easily there is simply no excuse for a man to be overweight. There needs to be a shift in focus in this society. Too many people are so focused on their weight that they lead unhealthy lifestyles just to get the weight off, negating any benefits weight loss would have had. It’s even worse if they gain the weight back after failing to maintain the diet. Fat should be accepted as the norm in this society. Face it, with the changes to our culture in the past 100 years, an epidemic in obesity was bound to happen. It’s best that we get the fat=ugly part over with so people will stop trying to lose weight for looks and start trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
September 13, 2007 at 7:36 pm(38) Veronica says:

ReplyDeleteVani is a hot, slightly beefy Euro stud, Candi is a sexy chick with blonde streaks in her hair, Nate's a rock and roll bad boy. Put these three hotties together and it's bound to get wild!

Share and share a like is great motto; especially when what you're sharing with another hot dude! This scene is Brett's first sexual experience with another guy- ever.
ReplyDeleteBRETT
Beefy Steve and his young buddy Mark double team hot slut Candi. These 3 are pretty wild and horny, and it really shows when they get naked and start sexing each other up!
ReplyDeleteMARK
Vani and Mikey have a thing for red heads...and Kiki has a thing for big cocks. When the three of them get together, it's a no hold barred fuck-fest!

Cole Parker has done his rounds on our other sites, so we thought it'd be only fair to let him get some 1 on 1 female attention. That's where Kelly Summers comes into play.
Cole found the busty blonde soaking in the tub as he strolled into the bathroom. Not wanting to disturb her, Cole kicks back and begins teasing himself, hoping she doesn't notice.To his surprise, Kelly found his peeping quite the turn on, and invited him to play with her. One thing leads to another, and the next thing you know, the two are sucking and fucking.
Enjoy! ...

Pastors Steve and Kathy Gray, founders of World Revival Church in Kansas City, formerly known as the Smithton Outpouring, are leading voices in revival today. In 1996 they were so touched by the power of God that now this ministry impacts thousands of churches around the world with the fire of revival.
They are hosts and executive producers of The Steve & Kathy Show, which airs worldwide, bringing humor with a message and building a bridge to the unchurched, uninterested and unsaved. Appearing many times on The 700 Club, TBN and the Daystar Television Network, they have also been featured in Charisma Magazine, Newsweek and various newspapers and magazines worldwide. Steve is the founder of World Revival Network of Ministries and Churches and the World Revival School of Ministry, training new leaders in the principles of global revival.
Steve and Kathy are also the founders of The House of Hope and Healing, which provides compassionate prayer support 24 hours a day, offering the dignity of healing rather than the devastation of disease. An accomplished singer, songwriter and author, Pastor Steve has several published books including When The Kingdom Comes, Follow the Fire, Hope Heals, Pour Down From the Skies and Strike the Match. Kathy is the author of The Last Eve.

Is Fat Ugly?
Monday July 21, 2003
One forum member asks the intriguing question: "I was wondering how many people out there think that fat is ugly? I sometimes see women that are a bit heavy or a bit, as some people like to call it "full figured" and personally I find these women to be very attractive." As you can imagine, this sparked a heated debate about what we think is pretty. What do you think? Come join the discussion.

Fat people can have good looking features and fat people can have ugly features too.They however are not accepted in soceity as good looking.When I say fat I mean past thick, solid, sturdy and that stuff.Literally fat I mean.No matter how fat you are you can have good looking features but soceity refuses to accept fat people as good looking really.Look at the lady from the biggest loser Gilian.She always had good looking features and I’m sure some guys saw she had the potential to be good looking but because she was so fat her features were not acknowledged.I’m not gay or anything but look at Biggie Smalls on the other hand not only was he fat but ugly.No matter how much weight he woulda lost he woulda stil been ugly.
February 8, 2007 at 4:59 pm(2) Amy says:
I think Skinny people can be just as ugly as fat people. Sometimes people are just not attractive in general. Could be bad teeth, unporpotional figure even though they are correct weight. I think people without a weight problem need to take a better look in the mirror and recognize the flaws they have just as well as heavyset people. No one is perfect and in order to be you have to spend thousands of bucks to be. In most would consider perfect to be fake.

It’s ridiculous to think that all fat people are ugly. There are PLENTY of ugly skinny people. But unfortunately, in this society, fat people are not viewed as beautiful. I’ve seen many times, beautiful fat women who can’t get dates, while there skinny and unattractive counterparts get the hottest guys! But there are some cultures that view FAT as being beautiful. Tocarra is beautiful (even though she shed some pounds) Beautiful AND ugly people come in all shapes and sizes!
April 6, 2007 at 3:32 am(6) dave says:
Lets face it-Life isn’t always fair.Whether we admit it or not,society has conditioned us to recognize that which is beautiful in appearence (which all of us hope to have)and what is ugly.I am neither proud nor ashamed to plainly state that I was ugly as a kid,as a teenager,as a young adult,and as as I am now at 54.I was thin until my 20’s and have been obese since then.Having been recently diagnosed as diabetic,I am currently losing weight rapidly,but I have no illusions about ugliness somehow dissappearing with my weight loss.People in my situation (and there are many of us)have no use for the “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”crap.We’ve come to terms with how we appear to the world a long time ago,and we go forward as best we can.As Gino Vannelli sang it in his song ‘Ugly Man’-”…and how my heart is clear,cause I have from what I do–And I do just what I am’.

“…unfortunately, in this society, fat people are not viewed as beautiful”
It would be unfortunate if fat/unhealthy people were perceived as beautiful. We are killing ourselves with food and all people care about is not hurting other peoples feelings. A truly attractive person is someone who noticed they were getting fat and then did something about it and now lead a healthy lifestyle.
April 29, 2007 at 4:32 pm(9) EmmANy says:
well actually being fat is a hell for me!! i want to do things but scared of what might pipol gonna think of me…. they always says that fat person are very lazy but ill tell to you it is not true!!
and i red a book about how to be thin it says their that if you are born fat your chances too be thin is not that big.. so i wish also that fat person can also be accepted.. and dont be discriminated

fat is not always ugly if you carry it well i myself need to loose weight but i have never found it hard to get a guy. skinny people are not always good looking.your face is forever fat is not.i can loose weight but some will always be ugly not to sound mean.but im sick of people who make fun just cause people are different. we all have flaws. ugly feet a big hairy mole something no one is perfect.
May 29, 2007 at 9:35 pm(11) pat says:
fat is extremely ugly to me. i have heavy friends but they are not attractive at all. when i express that i find very lean to be attractive, i get mocked, railroaded and told off. because fat is so normal now in america, lean people are becoming the butt of jokes. i am sick of it. fat is UGLY.
June 3, 2007 at 1:03 am(12) Salina says:
people come in all shapes and sizes. Society NEEDS to embrace that. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes as well. I have seen ugly skinny people and I have seen ugly fat people- and the other way around. I am not saying that being too overweight is healthy or anything, but neither is being too thin. It is unfortunate that people, like Pat, are SO pathetic that they must generalize that all overweight people are ugly….that is just rediculous. It also shows that the people who talk like that aren’t very good looking themselves ( when your attitude is ugly, so are you…..) For future reference, different people are attracted to different things
June 4, 2007 at 2:35 pm(13) Shannon says:
FAT PEOPLE ARE SO UGLY! stop eating and go to the gym. do you see fat people who are rich? no. do you see fat people who are happy? no. whos pretty in hollywood, or even the real world? SKINNY PEOPLE! its never going to change, and won’t be different. I guess fat people just have to deal with it.
June 10, 2007 at 11:34 am(14) louise kelly says:
society is unfair it really is alot o us can,t help being heavy and having a fat face the scoiety of to day needs a wake up call.itsn,t always what you look on the outside what counts and how you come across at people.it girls with fat faces have to cheek implants just to suit the media needs which are right down selfish and shallow ,men reject girls who might not win a beauty contest as a reject and to be hated by all. who see her just like the ugly duckling.

Fat is pretty on some people like me im 5′8 has nice face i could go for an plus size model and also i always has boyfriends thier are some people think we are ugly because we have extra skin on our body but to be real people are ugly when they are not naturally skinny
June 13, 2007 at 9:31 pm(17) Stonie says:
I don’t think fat is ugly to me it depends on how you carry yourself but personally i think fat women should do it big every time we go out because we are depict as an laughing stock to society I’m also plus size very attractive 5′8 i can go for an plus size model always carry myself correct just because we have extra skin on our body dosen’t mean we are ugly i mean i never find trouble with getting an date and also fat women we supposed to have an go personality about us . but to be real all these diets and people getting skinny to the point they are scary that’s ugly if you are not naturally skinny don’t try to be because you will come out looking like star jones and shannon get an damn life .

I have seen enough Fat for a lifetime living in Utah!! The shows that reward these men and women for being obese is ridiculous and very unhealth! They dnce now and die from heart failure later! I am by no means justifying to thin either! These Fat Pushers should be ashamed of themselves for putting on a circus of “Fat Dancers”. They may be the sweetest people with all the right moves but Fat is UGLY!!no matter! Fat woman should excercise by pushing away from the table.

I just recently lost forty pounds. I look better than I ever have and now wear an 8. I used to wear an 18 and was toldI was pretty, just too heavy. I’n now slim, but I won’t date at the moment. I’m very scarred from my experiences. I look great on the outside, but will always be a fat girl on the inside.
June 22, 2007 at 11:53 pm(20) kool says:
ok so yea im on the bigger side i was average up until my sophmore year in highschool then i put on the weight for football and never lost it now i do have strong stomache arms legs etc. it just has a little layer of fat over it i mean i played football so is that really fat i would say yea but honestly as long as you can stand there and say im better then this if all i care about is hwo fat i am i have no life self confidence i may be fat or obese but i dress well im very clean shaven smell good all the time drive a nice car and carry myself to a T thats how it has to work if you dont care then people wont care to look image is only a little of looks most image is about how you carry the look if u look down at the ground walk hunched over you look a mess but if u stand tall smile and are firm you look good so really weither your skinny as a tooth pick or fat as a whale you gotta learn how to carry yourself thats the only way and if people dont like you F**** them they dont know you for all they know you could be a good fun person
June 23, 2007 at 4:17 pm(21) Beck says:
I think that overweight people are beautiful and thin people are beautiful. Unfortunetly not all people are accepting of larger figures than others. I am on the heavier side and I hate it! Anywhere I go I feel like people are judgeing me. Sometimes I wear sunglasses all day just so i dont have to make eye contact with anyone.
July 1, 2007 at 9:05 pm(22) diemond says:
fat is not ugly im plus sized and im only 13 i want to b a model and i have been 2 several modeling companies that have offered me contracts but i did not have the money at the time dont judge people by the outside i believe im sexy and therefore other people do 2 its all about ur swagger not wat u look like skinner people have higher selfesteem because the are excepted more than fat people bit believe me its all in the confidence [o and by the way not all fat people r unheatlthy i am perfect healthy i cheerlead swim blay b-ball and football and im a great dancer all that lazy fat people crap is just a stereotype]
July 4, 2007 at 7:49 pm(23) Thomas says:
Almost everybody believes Fat is Ugly because it is seen as unhealthy. Being too skinny is just as unhealthy. A first impression of a woman who is healthy and in shape is more attractive than a woman who is fat or thin. First impressions count a lot. If anyone is over or under weigh please practice eating and exercising as healthily as you can and IN TIME you will GAIN SELF-CONFIDENCE, have LESS HEALTH PROBLEMS, LIVE LONGER, be more likely to be HAPPIER, and be MORE LIKLEY TO ATTRACT A BETTER MAN. Please think of your own health benifits FIRST
July 4, 2007 at 9:23 pm(24) Carrie says:
ya know…I have been heavy since my 1st child, who is 17, I am constantly told I have a beautiful face, but have been struggling trying to lose weight for years. I know what I want, but I don’t know why I can’t just do it. I am working on myself though. Sometimes being overweight has more to it than just overeating. Once I love ME, for ME, then I think losing the weight and getting healthy can work. We have to love ourselves people. And yes, there is beauty in everyone….Lets love everyone!!!
July 5, 2007 at 3:56 pm(25) cHaNtAl says:
I HATE BEING FAT!!! look at all the magazines and fashion shows it makes me feel bad about myself! I HATE IT!!! ppl make you feel ugly too they make u feel like your totally ugly!!! guys dont go for us either !! im gonna be a virgin for like the rest of my life cuz of that!!!!!!!!!

I have seen many “fat” people who I think are good looking because they have a nice looking face, to my kind of taste, and dress nice. What drives me nuts is when someone is a size 20 and refuses to acknowledge it and wears clothes that are way too small in size. Face reality. Wear clothes that fit. I have gained 35 pounds in the last 5 years, partly due to muscle (working out) and partly due to just not being a young little 20-yr-old any more. Metabolism slows down. I have donated most of my ’skinny jeans’ to charity. Life goes on. My husband still thinks I’m hot. I’ve also seen people who are anorexically thin and that is NOT a pretty sight. I shouldn’t be able to count your ribs without an X ray. Ick. Eat something! Drink some water and juice! Good lord.
Also, I consider my body to be “unproportional” [this is for Amy] and so what? It’s in my genes. I can’t help it that my hips come one size larger than my waist (making it really hard to shop for pants) and two sizes larger than my bust. This has always been the case, since puberty. Nothing I can do about it except breast implant surgery and I’ve decided I don’t want to spend my money that way, nor do I want to undergo surgery and painful recovery just for something cosmetic. My choice. If you don’t like it, I don’t care.
I have a couple of relatives that I love dearly but are extremely overweight and while I don’t think they are ugly, I think they are pretty in fact, I do wish they would lose weight so that they would have the health problems, including pain in the back and legs.

Typo in my last paragraph — probably obvious but I meant to say “so that they would NOT have the health problems…”
July 12, 2007 at 6:53 pm(29) Anna says:
Fat is unhealthy. It’s normal and ok to not be attracted to fat people. That doesn’t make me a bad person. To me, fat=ugly. And you know what, to someone else, blonde=ugly, and to someone else, short=ugly. You can’t argue a preference. I am not attracted to people with rotten teeth, physical deformities, or severely overweight. It may not be kind, but it’s life. Looks DO matter.
July 12, 2007 at 6:57 pm(30) Krystal says:
PS, I am TIRED of the “real women have curves” crap. When did “curves” become “folds”? I am very healthy, eat light, exercise, and am thin. Does this not make me a “real woman”? I enjoy taking care of my body, it’s the only one I’ll ever have.
BTW, this is not a dig on women who are bigger. We come in all sizes and shapes, but to hate on women who go out of their way to be thin makes large women no better then the snotty kids yelling “fatty” to every overweight woman walking by. Respect goes both ways.
July 16, 2007 at 10:10 pm(31) i dont care says:
fat people suck i’m fat and i say that were all ugly you can all be motivationa if you want being skinny is only way to feel happy with self you can huv these little motivational meetings about fat is beautiful but its no it will never be and thats that so stop making up lies saying fat is beautiful.*
July 23, 2007 at 4:47 am(32) Joy says:
Oh come on get over yourselves. Really people everyone is beautiful no matter who you are! Stop acting like you are still in high school and grow up. Fat thin we are who we are. Nothing can change that. Everyone is special. Really! You control what happens. A more heaviset person might be very happy eating food. And the thinner person might be happier exercising. Instead of complaining about it go and help each other out. If you think someone is fat and you really dislike it go talk to that person and see if you can help them exercise. If you think someone is thin then talk about yummy recipes. That is what life is about.
July 29, 2007 at 4:12 pm(33) Joyce says:
Oy. I think I’m going to start a new movement on the internet: “Ungrammatical is Ugly.” That’s right, folks, people who can’t be bothered to treat the English language with the same respect and care they would lavish on a stray dog…Ugly! People who are flaunting the fact that they didn’t pay attention in third grade and are proud of it…Ugly! People who can’t be bothered to hunt for that pesky “shift” key so they can type the occasional capital letter…Ugly! One more thing, guys: I have never once met anyone who has been browbeaten or insulted for preferring thin over fat. So, please, can we put this urban myth out of its misery right here and now?
August 18, 2007 at 11:42 pm(34) Sol says:
I think all this preoccupation with ugly, beautiful, fat and skinny is a distrationary technique. I am a ‘recovered’anorexic and struggle everyday to not get caught up in the endless trap of superficiality. Why aren’t we debating what intelligence or intergrity is? Instead all most people think about is how they look. What do you think happens as you age fat or not beauty fades. This world is set up so we all spend our time worrying about crap. Alcohol and smoking kill more people then being fat does. The reason weight gets attacked is cause its visable and easy to attack. History shows humans love to make groups of induviduals into ‘the other’ its an us and them mentality that keeps us all at odds with eachother. Please stop buying into the hype, think about who controls what you think is beautiful and take back control of your ideas and ideals. Its hard but HEAPS more rewarding to stop distracting yourself and buying your way to happiness and instead realise that your mark on this earth is measured by the type of person you choose to be. Hollywood is another planet, we live in the real world and our happiness lies in moving toward addressing the real issues, trust me beauty isn’t one of them!
August 25, 2007 at 1:12 am(35) Over Weight says:
I am over weight. The space is intentional. I am over constantly thinking about how much I weigh, and what people think about my body. Health is beauty, so the best thing to do for myself is eat healthy food and work out. Compalining that others do not find me beautiful, or critisizing people for their ideals, will do me no good. Fat people, myself included, need to stop hating ourselves before we expect anybody else to see beauty in us.
August 30, 2007 at 2:57 pm(36) hilary says:
ok here’s the deal…fat people are unhappy because “beautiful people ” are considered to be thinner fit persons.telling fat people that they are beautiful and tht they have great features or amazing personalities depress them even more uz they simply knw that ur being untruthful with them. i knw wut im saying cuz i’ve been fat for 5 years im in highschool and its rly hard …im battling with depression by myself . you’re probably saying wow that girl have issues. it’s true it’s hard to be stuck in this figure . go work out … follow diets …simple words not so easy to apply. ” im fat n beautiful and im happy ” if you ever hear this i can guarantee u that they are in big denial .
September 1, 2007 at 8:13 pm(37) andrea says:
I like how every time weight and appearance are mentioned it’s somehow automatically linked with femininity and being a woman. So typically patriarchal. “Fat is unattractive? Of course fat women are unattractive!” I never saw any discernment of gender in the original article. Fat men should be considered just as ugly as fat women (not that I think fat=ugly) considering men don’t have anything biologically speaking to stall and hinder their weight loss. They lose weight so fast and so easily there is simply no excuse for a man to be overweight. There needs to be a shift in focus in this society. Too many people are so focused on their weight that they lead unhealthy lifestyles just to get the weight off, negating any benefits weight loss would have had. It’s even worse if they gain the weight back after failing to maintain the diet. Fat should be accepted as the norm in this society. Face it, with the changes to our culture in the past 100 years, an epidemic in obesity was bound to happen. It’s best that we get the fat=ugly part over with so people will stop trying to lose weight for looks and start trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
September 13, 2007 at 7:36 pm(38) Veronica says:
I am slightly overweight and yes it is ugly, i do not care what anyone has to say about that. For instance say you have your husband who says he loves your weight the way it is but then later you see that he was on some web site with thin girls with big tits, small waist, big be

Cole Parker has done his rounds on our other sites, so we thought it'd be only fair to let him get some 1 on 1 female attention. That's where Kelly Summers comes into play.
Cole found the busty blonde soaking in the tub as he strolled into the bathroom. Not wanting to disturb her, Cole kicks back and begins teasing himself, hoping she doesn't notice.To his surprise, Kelly found his peeping quite the turn on, and invited him to play with her. One thing leads to another, and the next thing you know, the two are sucking and fucking.

Bareback is a term that originated in gay slang to describe acts of unprotected sex, especially anal sex. The term's usage, however, has crossed-over to more mainstream slang to describe any type of penetrative sexual act without the use of a condom.

[edit] Origin
Before the mainstream awareness of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s, the distinction between anal sex with and without a condom was not as prevalent in communications among men who have sex with men (MSMs). Sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention campaigns encouraged condom use but an urgency arose once transmission of HIV/AIDS was somewhat understood (see HIV for more information). Researchers encouraged condom usage as an effective way to reduce HIV transmission. Condoms are now known to be an effective barrier against HIV, as well as to herpes simplex, Cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B, chlamydia and gonorrhea. [1]
The gay male community, having been affected the most by the pandemic, mobilized quickly and the practice of unprotected anal sex quickly became taboo within the community. This was the time when the need for a term to describe the difference between "protected" and "unprotected" sexual acts arose.
Barebacking as a practice is claimed to have become increasingly common again among MSMs in the mid-1990s. Reasons for this are varied, and include correlations based on: an "upswing" in the level of new HIV infections amongst gay men in younger age groups cited by the CDC and WHO, a more public presence of "bareback" literature, personal ads, and publicity of rebellious attitudes towards the practice; the increased effectiveness of HIV/AIDS treatments and the decline of people with AIDS being highly visible and physically compromised as a result of the disease. The later two rationales held in comparison to the 1980s in the gay community when those infected were often visibly sick and their health rapidly declining coupled with mainstream attention to the "new" disease.
[edit] Claimed resurgence
Gay columnists and editorialists in The Advocate, Genre magazine and Out magazine during the late 1990s and into the new millennium have made several claims as to why barebacking in first-world nation gay communities as a practice, re-surged in the 1990s.
* The advent and relatively noticeable success of protease inhibitors and other drugs for treating HIV infections has changed the perception of HIV infection from an untreatable terminal illness to a treatable chronic malady.
* Decreasing effectiveness of health education messages in the gay community fails to promote condom use (see condom fatigue).
* Methamphetamines have become akin to a "drug of choice" within gay male (and other) populations; individuals under the influence of meth are less likely to be concerned over potential hazards of their behaviour.
* Gay men with opposing beliefs about the practice of barebacking get "more publicity" about their feelings than in the past.
* Bareback pornography is available and contributes to the apathy, romanticising and eroticising of the practice.
* Online solicitation services for bare-backing partners has led to an increase in the practice.[2]
[edit] Controversy
This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims.
Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for details. (November 2007)
"Say no to meth and bareback" sign
Bareback sex by gay men is controversial both inside and outside the gay community. Some condemn barebacking and barebackers because they believe that the practice has caused upsurges in of STDs and HIV infections among young people and has given bad publicity to the gay community.
Other commentators say that the publicity that barebacking has received is disproportionate to its pervasiveness, and that any focus by news media or epidemiologists on barebacking has more to do with stereotypes of gay men as promiscuous and irresponsible, along with the larger culture's aversion to gay male sexuality, instead of any real change in what gay men are doing. The latter group of commentators may also argue that adult men should be able to engage in the consensual acts of their choosing without permission or apology.
Bareback has become a fetish among some in the gay community. In addition to bareback pornography (see below), there are websites and discussion boards on the Internet devoted exclusively to barebacking that feature pictures of men engaged in bareback sex, personal advertisements of men seeking bareback sex with other men and erotic short stories involving barebacking. This subculture has developed its own slang terms, such as "breeding" (ejaculation inside the rectum of the receptive participant), "charging up" (the same as breeding, but the male doing the ejaculating is HIV positive), "Russian Roulette party" or "conversion party" (a group sex party attended by HIV-positive and HIV-negative persons, the latter taking the chance that they may become infected with HIV).
[edit] Popular culture
Bareback gay pornography exists, with some bareback films portraying and glamorizing ejaculation in the rectum or on the anus of the models in the films. There are a number of gay pornography studios that produce bareback films. San Francisco based studio Treasure Island Media has produced bareback films since 1999. A number of Eastern European studios supply the increasing demand from homosexual men in North America and Western Europe for bareback pornography, including SEVP and Eurocreme and Czech producers who supply footage to Hot Desert Knights for their "international line". These studios and the stars of their films have often come under heavy criticism for showing, and perhaps romanticizing, bareback sex, particularly to young gay men. However, proponents claim the films actually keep barebacking to a minimum in the gay community by providing men with a visual substitute for the actual act.
Some bareback pornography studios say that they do not inquire whether their models are HIV positive, but assume that they are infected.[3] Other studios claim that they test their models for HIV antibodies and only hire models who are HIV negative.[3]
Bareback heterosexual pornography in the U.S. has long been the norm and only recently has slightly changed to reflect new restrictions by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that state that requiring models to have unsafe sex in films creates a hazardous working environment.
[edit] Heterosexual bareback
Condom use amongst heterosexual people has dramatically increased during the last 20 years as groups respond to health messages about HIV/AIDS prevention.[citation needed] In some groups, the use of a condom has become the norm, and the use of the word "bareback" has gained utility as a way to describe sex without a condom.
Regardless, bareback heterosexual sex without a condom has not created the moral panic that gay barebacking has. This can be attributed to the fact that gay men have become more organized in STD prevention.[citation needed] Furthermore barebacking is gaining popularity amongst the swinging arena whereby organizers are offering a vetting service for members to reduce the risk of STIs.
[edit] Prostitution
In the sex trade, the willingness to bareback is a selling point for sex workers to their clients despite the increased risks implied to the client. A "girlfriend experience" (GFE) was coined to reflect "a real relationship for the moment with a sincere women who enjoys the experience, not just mechanical sex" but has been assigned an alternative implication of a lack of barriers.[4] Many prostitutes are willing to perform a bareback blowjob (BBBJ) because it is less risky than other forms of unprotected contact with body fluids.

However, on February 7, 2008, HDK announced that it would begin testing its models for HIV and engage in a process of "sero-sorting", a controversial scheme in which studios match HIV-positive performers with other HIV-positive performers, and negative with negative. Critics suggest that sero-sorting may not prevent the development of a multi-strain "supervirus." See: http://www.thesword.com/2008/02/bareback-studio-commits-to-hiv-testing.html In contrast, Bel Ami is one of the studios that claimed from the beginning to test their bareback models for HIV before allowing them to participate in condom-free scenes. A notice on the Bel Ami website at states “all our performers are regularly tested for the presence of HIV or other communicable diseases”.

There are a number of gay pornography studios that produce bareback films. San Francisco based studio Treasure Island Media has produced bareback films since 1999. A number of Eastern European studios supply the increasing demand from homosexual men in North America and Western Europe for bareback pornography, including SEVP and Eurocreme and Czech producers who supply footage to Hot Desert Knights for their "international line". These studios and the stars of their films have often come under heavy criticism for showing, and perhaps romanticizing, bareback sex, particularly to young gay men. However, proponents claim the films actually keep barebacking to a minimum in the gay community by providing men with a visual substitute for the actual act.
Some bareback pornography studios say that they do not inquire whether their models are HIV positive, but assume that they are infected.[3] Other studios claim that they test their models for HIV antibodies and only hire models who are HIV negative.[3]
Bareback heterosexual pornography in the U.S. has long been the norm and only recently has slightly changed to reflect new restrictions by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that state that requiring models to have unsafe sex in films creates a hazardous working environment.
[edit] Heterosexual bareback
Condom use amongst heterosexual people has dramatically increased during the last 20 years as groups respond to health messages about HIV/AIDS prevention.[citation needed] In some groups, the use of a condom has become the norm, and the use of the word "bareback" has gained utility as a way to describe sex without a condom.
Regardless, bareback heterosexual sex without a condom has not created the moral panic that gay barebacking has. This can be attributed to the fact that gay men have become more organized in STD prevention.[citation needed] Furthermore barebacking is gaining popularity amongst the swinging arena whereby organizers are offering a vetting service for members to reduce the risk of STIs.
[edit] Prostitution
In the sex trade, the willingness to bareback is a selling point for sex workers to their clients despite the increased risks implied to the client. A "girlfriend experience" (GFE) was coined to reflect "a real relationship for the moment with a sincere women who enjoys the experience, not just mechanical sex" but has been assigned an alternative implication of a lack of barriers.[4] Many prostitutes are willing to perform a bareback blowjob (BBBJ) because it is less risky than other forms of unprotected contact with body fluids.

Bareback (sex)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Bareback is a term that originated in gay slang to describe acts of unprotected sex, especially anal sex. The term's usage, however, has crossed-over to more mainstream slang to describe any type of penetrative sexual act without the use of a condom.

[edit] Origin
Before the mainstream awareness of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s, the distinction between anal sex with and without a condom was not as prevalent in communications among men who have sex with men (MSMs). Sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention campaigns encouraged condom use but an urgency arose once transmission of HIV/AIDS was somewhat understood (see HIV for more information). Researchers encouraged condom usage as an effective way to reduce HIV transmission. Condoms are now known to be an effective barrier against HIV, as well as to herpes simplex, Cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B, chlamydia and gonorrhea. [1]
The gay male community, having been affected the most by the pandemic, mobilized quickly and the practice of unprotected anal sex quickly became taboo within the community. This was the time when the need for a term to describe the difference between "protected" and "unprotected" sexual acts arose.
Barebacking as a practice is claimed to have become increasingly common again among MSMs in the mid-1990s. Reasons for this are varied, and include correlations based on: an "upswing" in the level of new HIV infections amongst gay men in younger age groups cited by the CDC and WHO, a more public presence of "bareback" literature, personal ads, and publicity of rebellious attitudes towards the practice; the increased effectiveness of HIV/AIDS treatments and the decline of people with AIDS being highly visible and physically compromised as a result of the disease. The later two rationales held in comparison to the 1980s in the gay community when those infected were often visibly sick and their health rapidly declining coupled with mainstream attention to the "new" disease.
[edit] Claimed resurgence
Gay columnists and editorialists in The Advocate, Genre magazine and Out magazine during the late 1990s and into the new millennium have made several claims as to why barebacking in first-world nation gay communities as a practice, re-surged in the 1990s.
* The advent and relatively noticeable success of protease inhibitors and other drugs for treating HIV infections has changed the perception of HIV infection from an untreatable terminal illness to a treatable chronic malady.
* Decreasing effectiveness of health education messages in the gay community fails to promote condom use (see condom fatigue).
* Methamphetamines have become akin to a "drug of choice" within gay male (and other) populations; individuals under the influence of meth are less likely to be concerned over potential hazards of their behaviour.
* Gay men with opposing beliefs about the practice of barebacking get "more publicity" about their feelings than in the past.
* Bareback pornography is available and contributes to the apathy, romanticising and eroticising of the practice.
* Online solicitation services for bare-backing partners has led to an increase in the practice.[2]
[edit] Controversy
This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims.
Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for details. (November 2007)
"Say no to meth and bareback" sign
Bareback sex by gay men is controversial both inside and outside the gay community. Some condemn barebacking and barebackers because they believe that the practice has caused upsurges in of STDs and HIV infections among young people and has given bad publicity to the gay community.
Other commentators say that the publicity that barebacking has received is disproportionate to its pervasiveness, and that any focus by news media or epidemiologists on barebacking has more to do with stereotypes of gay men as promiscuous and irresponsible, along with the larger culture's aversion to gay male sexuality, instead of any real change in what gay men are doing. The latter group of commentators may also argue that adult men should be able to engage in the consensual acts of their choosing without permission or apology.
Bareback has become a fetish among some in the gay community. In addition to bareback pornography (see below), there are websites and discussion boards on the Internet devoted exclusively to barebacking that feature pictures of men engaged in bareback sex, personal advertisements of men seeking bareback sex with other men and erotic short stories involving barebacking. This subculture has developed its own slang terms, such as "breeding" (ejaculation inside the rectum of the receptive participant), "charging up" (the same as breeding, but the male doing the ejaculating is HIV positive), "Russian Roulette party" or "conversion party" (a group sex party attended by HIV-positive and HIV-negative persons, the latter taking the chance that they may become infected with HIV).
[edit] Popular culture
Bareback gay pornography exists, with some bareback films portraying and glamorizing ejaculation in the rectum or on the anus of the models in the films. There are a number of gay pornography studios that produce bareback films. San Francisco based studio Treasure Island Media has produced bareback films since 1999.

ReplyDeleteIntroduction
Chances are you already own at least one sex toy: your bed. Just like a vibrator or bottle of water-based lube, your bed is something not found in nature that makes sex more pleasurable and comfortable for you. But unlike a bed, for women a vibrator might make the difference between having orgasms easily or not, or between having orgasms during partner sex or not. For men, an anal toy might make the difference between having an interesting new kind of sensation, or not. And for everyone, a bottle of water-based lube might make the difference between penetration of any kind being sexy and slippery and totally discomfort-free, or not.
With that in mind, the following guide summarizes the purpose and use of the most popular types of sex toys available right now, with a focus on what is likely to make the biggest difference for the most people. For each type of toy, we've identified which specific model seems to be the best-made and best-designed of those currently available. And for those who want to obtain a particular item, the links for each are to that item's page on the Babeland web site (which is far and away our favorite sex toy store - they're women-owned, they've won a multitude of quality and customer service awards including those from The Village Voice and Zagat, they can knowledgeably answer whatever questions you might have, and all shipping is done with complete regard for your confidentiality and privacy).
This guide was last updated on January 27, 2008.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Women
For Having Orgasms With: Vibrators
If you're female, or have a female partner, a vibrator is the toy most likely to make the biggest difference to your sex life. Many women have their first orgasm with a vibrator, and most women find it easier to reach orgasm with a vibrator then by any other way. Furthermore, most women cannot reach orgasm through intercourse alone (not through any lack of appreciation or love for their partners, and not through any failing at all on their partner's part, rather just through how the female body is constructed), so if you're a male with a female partner and think it would be sexy and hot for her to have an orgasm while you're having intercourse, a vibrator could be the best present you could get.
Note that in this section we're just talking about vibrators that are meant to stimulate the clitoris, i.e. which are used externally, rather than inserted into the vagina. Regardless of what image may pop into your head when you hear the word "vibrator," the external kind is by far the most effective for having orgasms, and by far the most commonly recommended (not to mention that they can then also be used during intercourse with a partner).
Outlet-Powered Vibrators
If you buy only one vibrator, we recommend buying one that uses an electrical outlet rather than batteries: they last longer (potentially decades), they never run out of power just as you're about to have an orgasm, and since they're made by mainstream electronics companies and sold in everyday stores (people actually DO use them on their aching backs and feet) you don't even have to be embarrassed if someone else finds it.
Of the outlet-powered vibrators, the preferred choice is still the Hitachi Magic Wand: in comparison to other plug-in models the Hitachi Magic Wand is easier to use during sex with a partner, it's easier to put a condom over the end in case someone else wants to use it, and the optional penetrative attachments that you can get for it are higher-quality.
Tips: Use it through panties, sheets, or a thin towel if the vibrations are a little too intense for your bare clit. If you want to go for multiple clitoral orgasms, then after the first one back off on the pressure while keeping the vibrator moving, avoiding direct contact with your clit until your arousal level builds again. Moving your hips while using your vibrator - perhaps also squeezing and relaxing your "PC" muscle in time with your breathing - is something else that can enhance the whole experience. And finally, when it comes to using your vibrator during intercourse with a partner, you'll probably find that "doggy style" is the most convenient position to use the vibrator in.
Battery-Powered Vibrators
Even if you already own an outlet-powered vibrator, picking up a separate battery-powered one can still make sense: the smallest of them can easily be kept in a purse, you can use them more discreetly and spontaneously, they may be more convenient for partner sex if you and your partner like to change positions a lot, obviously you can use them when you're not near an electrical outlet, and some of them can be used in or near water (which is nice if you have a hot tub, or if the bathroom is the only place in your house where you have some privacy).
Right now the most versatile choice is probably the Waterdancer: it's very small, very well made, and completely waterproof, with a design similar to that of the famed (but non-waterproof) "Pocket Rocket."
Tip: Make sure you have spare batteries.
For Enhancing Your Orgasms: G-Spot Toys and Dildos
Once you've become comfortable using a vibrator on your clitoris, there are two different directions it might be fun to explore: either using a firm G-spot toy to also deliver firm pressure against your G-spot, or else using a dildo so that you can enjoy a fuller and more satisfied feeling while using your vibrator. Before beginning, please keep in mind that any toy you penetrate yourself with is going to feel better if you first apply a little water-based lube to it: good lube choices are covered a little later in this guide.
G-Spot Toys
We realize a lot of fuss gets made about the "G-spot," and not every woman finds pressure on this area of their vagina to be enjoyable, but the people who like it often find that they really like it, so please bear with us for a quick recap...
Basically, the G-spot is an area on the forward wall of the vagina (i.e. in the direction of your belly) about two to three inches in (i.e. just beyond the pubic bone), which particularly when you're very aroused may feel a little different from the area around it. One way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a partner, using his or her first two fingers inside you to press firmly upwards, and perhaps stroke the area of the G-spot with a slight "come to me" motion. The other way to find and stimulate your G-spot is with a rigid curved toy.
So, if you own a Hitachi Magic Wand, one way to get started is to pick up the Gee Whiz attachment for it. If you own a clitoral vibrator other than the Hitachi Magic Wand, then get the Archer Wand toy instead (which is also the best choice if you either already know you like extremely firm G-spot pressure, or are having trouble finding your G-spot). On the other hand, if you don't own any sort of vibrator but know you definitely want something that can stimulate your G-spot as well as your clit, then the G-Twist may be your best bet.
Although G-spot stimulation isn't something that's enjoyable for every woman, if it works for you then the point is to either deepen and intensify the orgasms you get from your vibrator by stimulating your G-spot as you approach and go through your clitoral orgasm, or else to enjoy the G-spot stimulation as a sensation and source of orgasmic release completely on its own (maybe after first having one clitoral orgasm to warm up, or maybe not).
Tips: the first big tip about G-spot stimulation is that it's probably only going to be fun once you're aroused, and the more aroused you are the more fun it may be. The second big tip about G-spot stimulation is that the pressure may need to be quite firm and focused in order to work for you.
Dildos
While G-spot toys are designed to intensely stimulate one particular part of the vagina, most dildos are designed to give you a more generally satisfying feeling of fullness, and perhaps feel good when gently moved in and out. When you have a clitoral orgasm with your vibrator or fingertips they give you something firm and satisfying to clench your vaginal muscles around, and if you like having sex with men they give you a feeling at least a little bit like intercourse with your partner which may help you fantasize. They're also available in a wide variety of shapes and textures, so you never have to get bored.
Your first choice in selecting a dildo is the material you want it to be made out of, and these days that's a no-brainer: you want silicone. Silicone is hypoallergenic and non-porous (meaning that if you like you can either clean it with hot water and anti-bacterial soap or else completely sterilize it by boiling it for five minutes), it feels warm to the touch and retains body heat, it transmits vibration beautifully, it can be made into toys that range from floppy to almost completely rigid, and if taken care of (i.e. not exposed to anything sharp that could puncture or tear it, and not exposed to silicone lubes) your toy could last a lifetime. In short, it's the perfect material to make a dildo out of.
Your second choice is selecting a width and length, and of these getting the right width is by far the more important (since you can always just not insert the dildo as far, or else wrap your fist around the base, if it would otherwise be too long). One way to pick a width is to use a rule of thumb: if you know that having two fingers in you feels just about right then select a dildo between an inch and an inch and a half in diameter, but if three fingers feels better to you then pick something slightly larger than an inch and a half in diameter. If you'd like to be more sure than this, you could first purchase some inexpensive non-silicone dildos in a variety of widths (such as these), and then choose the width of your silicone purchase based on which felt the most comfortable to you.
Your third choice is whether or not you want your dildo to resemble a human penis (though note that the "non-realistic" models are available in a variety of abstract textures and shapes, so in other words you don't have to miss out on any interesting kinds of friction just because your dildo doesn't have fake veins).
Your final choice is shape. Do you like the slightly eye-popping feeling of first being penetrated? Then pick something with a slightly pronounced head or knob at the tip. Do you like pressure against the forward wall of your vagina? Then pick something with a curve. But in general, it's probably simplest to just look at the shape and imagine what it might feel like inside you, and what it might feel like entering you, and make your choice from there.
So, with all that in mind, here are the links to the silicone dildos that Babeland carries.
For Having Harness Sex with a Partner
A harness is something you strap onto your pelvis to hold a dildo just over your pubic bone, which you can then use to penetrate your partner either vaginally or anally almost as if you had a flesh-and-blood penis. This is a powerful fantasy for some men and women, though certainly not all. However, like anything else in life that's safe, if you're not sure whether you'd like it or not then you're probably better off trying it at least once, so you and your partner can have more time in your lives to enjoy it if you find that it's something you both enjoy.
Right now, the preferred harnesses definitely seem to be either the Terra Firma or the Jaguar. Examples of dildos they can be paired with include the Mistress (medium), and the Leo (medium-large).
Tips: When using a harness, imagine that the dildo is actually part of your body (for most people this makes it easier to control). Also, if you have problems with your dildo slipping out of your partner, select a dildo with a slightly bulbous "head" so that the increased resistance will alert you when it's about to pop out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toys for Men
For Penile Stimulation
Most men have their first orgasm with the help only of one of their hands, and throughout life this may remain a perfectly enjoyable and comfortable way to reach orgasm. However, there's definitely no harm in experimenting with new sensations to see if you like them. For example: the Hugger Vibrator, which focuses sensation on the head of the penis, or the Cybersleeve, which distributes sensation all along the shaft of the penis.
For Prostate Stimulation
For some men (though certainly not all), ass play in general, and prostate stimulation in specific, is the one thing they discover in late adulthood that they wish they'd discovered in early adulthood.
The "Toys for Either Women or Men" section below will cover most butt toys, since most of them are designed equally for men or women, but one toy deserves special mention in this section: the Aneros. It's specifically designed for men for the sake of prostate stimulation, either on its own or accompanying masturbation, and is basically the men's equivalent of the "Archer Wand" toy mentioned earlier.
Something Often Overlooked...
We realize this suggestion may seem out of place in a sex toy guide, but we can't help but mention it: finding clothing that expresses who you are. The increased feelings of sexiness which you gain from wearing clothes that you feel you look good in, and which you feel confident in, is very real regardless of your gender.

For almost any kind of penetration (whether with fingers, a penis, or a dildo, and whether vaginal or anal), slippery is sexy and dry is usually uncomfortable. So basically, a bottle of lube is a fundamental thing to have on hand if you're sexually active. Since oil-based lubes destroy latex condoms and silicone-based lubes are only good for very specific situations, a water-based lube is almost certainly what you want.
Water-Based
Water-based lube is your basic, recommended type of lube. It works beautifully with latex, it won't harm any of your sex toys, and it feels natural. For any kind of sex involving vaginal or anal penetration, it can make sex 1000% more fun.
Basically, try BabeLube if you'll mainly use it for vaginal penetration, and try Maximus if you'll mainly use it for anal penetration. Both of these water-based lubes are also glycerin-free, which means they're less likely to feel sticky. If neither of these lubes suit your needs, then try a lube sampler to figure out which kind works best for you.
Silicone-Based
We hesitated to mention silicone lubes in this guide at all, since the overwhelming majority of people actually shouldn't buy them: if you accidentally use a silicone-based lube with one of your silicone toys, an adhesive reaction results which will destroy that toy. Furthermore, since silicone-based lube doesn't feel like natural vaginal lubrication, for most people it wouldn't be the preferred choice for any kind of vaginal penetration.
However, there are two specific situations in which silicone-based lube might make sense: when having sex underwater (since water dissolves water-based lubes but not silicone-based lubes), and for lengthy and intense anal penetration.
Right now, the most commonly-recommended brands of silicone-based lube are Eros and Pink.
Anal Toys
A good anal toy can be a revelation: assuming you have some water-based lube so that inserting the toy is comfortable, it can provide stimulation to the nerve-rich anus while going in, and once in can intensify in a very interesting way the feeling of the whole pelvic region during sex. There are two broad categories of anal toys: those meant to be left in during play, and those meant to be gradually pulled out or pushed in during play.
Toys Meant to be Left in During Play
These are otherwise known as "butt plugs." They have a special shape that helps them stay in once they're inserted, and can be left in while you have other kinds of sex. Choices include the Little Flirt (small), the Ryder (medium), and the Severin (large).
Toys Meant to be Gradually Pulled Out During Play
You may have heard of "anal beads." The more durable alternative is a dildo with a series of bulbs shaped like beads, but without a string running through them that can weaken or break. But either way, the point is the same: you insert them, and gradually pull them out during intercourse or masturbation, perhaps leaving a few for the moment of orgasm itself. The impact of this kind of sensation on your orgasm can be dramatic. Right now, the best anal toys created with this kind of play in mind are the Ripple and the Flexi Felix.
For Cleaning Beforehand, if Desired
To start with, even though the ass is generally cleaner than you might think, if the nature of ass play still leaves you uncomfortable, there's nothing stopping you from using latex or Nitryl gloves for penetration with fingers, dams for rimming, and condoms on any toys that are going to be inserted. There's also nothing stopping you from using the bathroom well before playing, or taking a shower before playing.
But for an additional level of cleaning, or perhaps for an interesting sensation in and of itself, a cleansing douche is always an option.
For Blindfolded Play
Blindfolds are sexy for good reasons: they're a consensual way for the receiver to completely focus on what they're feeling, and they're a way to remove any ambiguity as to who is "running the scene." Unfortunately, despite what you may have seen in the movies, just tying a bandanna around someone's head usually doesn't work very well, so you'd probably want something more secure and simpler to apply. This blindfold is one good choice.
For Bondage and Sensation Play
The range of play which falls under the heading of "BDSM" is vast. Stated poetically rather than technically, it's a way to take the freedom to struggle and strain without hurting anyone, combine that with intense sensations which produce the same endorphin and adrenaline rushes you might get from sports, and bundle the whole thing together with sex.
Just by way of example, if your main interest as a couple is one of you being able to prevent the other from moving, then take a look at the Kookie Cuffs (both wrist and ankle).
Similarly, if your main interest is creating different kinds of (possibly intense) sensations for your partner, then examples of things to look at depending on your interests would be nipple clamps and paddles/floggers.
Candlelight
Don't forget: candlelight is the most flattering form of illumination you're likely to find, and when used safely is probably the single easiest way to upgrade the appearance of wherever you and your partner play.
Sex Games
Most of the "sex games" you see advertised are pretty cheesy, but we've found a few which seem to have value: the Sex Questions game for helping partners learn more about each other, and the Pervartistry game for having fun with a group of open-minded adults.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Safer Sex Supplies
If you're worried about getting sick, or you're worried about getting pregnant when you don't want to be pregnant, then sex probably isn't going to be completely fun no matter what you do. So in other words, gaining confidence in your safer sex and birth control arrangements is one of the sexier things you can do for yourself.
This section will focus exclusively on safer sex supplies: for effective birth control please contact Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to arrange a discussion of your options.
Latex Condoms
From a public health perspective, using latex condoms for penile->vaginal and penile->anal penetration, in any case where one partner may have a transmittable STD which the other does not, is the one habit which would make the biggest difference in the fight against STD's.
A terrific latex condom for most men is the Kimono Microthin: they're thin and transmit sensation well, they're well-constructed, and having no taste that we can discern they're as suitable to oral sex as they are to intercourse. If after trying one you decide you'd like a snugger fit, then try Lifestyle Snugger Fit. If after trying one you decide you'd like a roomier fit, then try Pleasure Plus. On the other hand, if you're looking for inexpensive condoms not to go around a penis but rather to go around the head of your Hitachi Magic Wand, then pick up a pack of Trustex. If none of these options seem to suit you, then try a condom sampler pack to continue your search.
Tips: Condoms are most comfortable and effective when what they're surrounded by is slippery rather than dry - so either keep a small bottle of water-based lube with your condoms, or failing that a few single-use packets of water-based lube. Also, as an STD prevention measure the uncomfortable and generally questionable chemical Nonoxynol-9 has definitely fallen out of favor - Babeland won't carry any condoms or lubes that contain this substance, but if you're buying at a drug store or supermarket you'll need to avoid them on your own.
Latex Dams
Dams are thin rectangles of latex intended for safer oral sex when going down on a woman (cunnilingus), or for safer and cleaner oral sex when licking someone's anus (analingus). For these purposes, far and away the best product is the Glyde Dam. One important tip: putting a bit of water-based lube on the recipient's side of the barrier can help a lot more sensation be transmitted to them.
Unfortunately, if you're used to performing cunnilingus without a barrier, but now feel you must for the sake of your own safety or that of your partner, then making the transition to using a dam can be hard. If this remains true for you, even with practice, then please understand there's no shame in learning to use your hands instead: particularly if you take the opportunity to passionately kiss someone or whisper nasty things to them as you're pleasuring them, sex with hands rather than mouths really can feel awfully good...
Latex Gloves
Particularly if some of the skin on your hands is damaged (or if there is any chance you'll come into contact with blood) and your partner is of unknown STD/HIV status, latex gloves may make sense for finger or hand penetration. They may also make sense if you want to penetrate your partner's ass with your fingers but you have cleanliness concerns (since after you're done you can just peel the glove off and throw it in the trash).
The black latex gloves offered by Babeland are great choices, since by virtue of the fact that they're black latex they also look cool.
Alternatives for People with Latex Allergies
Although in each case the latex safer sex choice is probably the best choice if you can use it, for partners who are allergic to latex (an allergy particularly common amongst medical professionals) alternative safer sex materials may be needed.
If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then for penile->vaginal or penile->anal intercourse the Avanti polyurethane condom is certainly one option (though please understand it is by no means ideal: since polyurethane doesn't stretch as well as latex the reliability and fit is probably just NOT going to be as good for you). An alternative to Avanti is the Reality female condom, which is also usable for anal sex if you remove its inner ring.
For cunnilingus or analingus, if you or your partner is allergic to latex but some sort of barrier is still needed, your best bet is probably to use regular (i.e. non-microwaveable) kitchen plastic wrap instead.
For hands and fingers, Nitrile gloves are available as a substitute for latex gloves in cases where gloves are needed.

Introduction
Pornography can be one of the delights of life: it can be arousing, it can be fun figuring out what kinds you like, it can sometimes be a way for partners to get ideas for things they might like to try together, and some of it is good for a laugh. Pornography can enhance masturbation, and masturbation can be used to either learn to reach orgasm more easily or to learn greater orgasmic control.
The problem is that not all porn is well-done. And, unlike mainstream movies and books, typically neither your morning newspaper nor everyday conversation will point you towards the better stuff. As such our hope is that the following guide saves you time.
This guide was last updated on September 27, 2007, and is divided into separate sections for erotic videos, books, comics, audio recordings, and free web sites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Videos
How to select and watch adult videos...
Once you've found a favorite video, try others created by the same director, or featuring the same performer.
Fast forward through anything that turns you off or bores you.
It's traditional in heterosexual videos for each sex scene to end with the male actor pulling out and ejaculating somewhere on the outside of his partner's body, rather than internally. Some viewers find this annoying, but at this time it's unfortunately hard to avoid, except via all-female videos or the fast-forward button.
Check your DVD player's instruction manual to see if it has a "point A to point B" feature, in case you find a section you particularly like.
How to rent adult videos...
For most people, rent-by-mail will be the most comfortable and convenient way to rent adult videos. As it stands AdultDVDEmpire appears to offer the widest selection, and we were pleased with the quality of their service the time we tried it. All links below are to the AdultDVDEmpire rental page for that title.
Het videos which may be good choices for couples
Beautiful (directed by Michael Raven, and featuring Julia Ann - note: this award-winning film has excellent production values and solid acting, as such it may be a perfect place to start)
White Lightning (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn and Chloe)
Edge Play (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Marilyn Chambers and Chloe)
Taken (directed by Veronica Hart, and featuring Ginger Lynn - this film features a kidnapping fantasy theme, similar to that found in some romance novels)
Thighs Wide Open (directed by Fred Lincoln, and featuring Chloe)
One Size Fits All (directed by Candida Royale - notes: "softer" than almost any other het videos you're likely to find, and the fourth of the five sections of this film is probably the best of the bunch)
Eyes of Desire 2 (directed by Candida Royale - note: a bit edgier than One Size Fits All but still relatively soft by industry standards)
Het videos with a more "artistic" or "serious" edge
Unreal (directed by Antonio Passolini, and featuring Chloe - the sex in this film is incredibly intense, we were very impressed both with the quality of the direction and with Chloe's performance)
Club Sin (directed by Antonio Passolini, featuring Ashlyn Gere and Chloe, and involving an intriguing female-dominant plot)
Fashionistas (fetish/BDSM focus, a bit edgier than most other films mentioned here)
Het videos focusing on the best scenes from just one actress
Note: These "Deep Inside" films often features scenes with unusual amounts of chemistry, or scenes with the actresses' real-life partners, since the actress is picking their favorite scenes.
Deep Inside Chloe (an extremely popular and enthusiastic performer with an all-natural body, and a favorite of many men and women who have seen a lot of videos, as well as of critics - this film in particular featured some interesting commentary from Chloe about her films and career)
Deep Inside Nina Hartley (a particularly articulate and outspoken proponent of first ammendment rights, in addition to being a very popular performer, this is the same Nina Hartley who created the "Nina Hartley's Guides" series of educational tapes)
Deep Inside Jill Kelly (directed by Veronica Hart, and containing several scenes of Jill performing with real-life partners)
Het videos with educational overtones
Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women 1 is a good example: it's technically porn, but was created by a sex educator with the intent of also serving an educational role through demonstrating realistic technique. Featuring Tristan Taormino, Nina Hartley, and Chloe.
Het "all-sex" or "gonzo" series
Note: "gonzo" indicates an informal filming style, with the person behind the camera becoming a part of the film. They're often a lot of fun, with sex that's a bit more real and less staged, even if production budgets are lower. A good strategy is to sample one film from each series until you find a series whose director you like.
The Shane's World Series (Shane's films - particularly some of the earlier ones - tend to be very lighthearted and fun. The "Shane's World" and "College Invasion" series are her mixed-gender series, while her "Slumber Party" series is her all-female series)
Seymore Butts and His Mystery Girl (by Seymore Butts: note that some tapes in this series feature Seymore Butts performing with Shane, at a time when they were real-life partners)
Amateur Angels No. 7 (by Luc Wylder, a popular place to start)
The Voyeur Series (by John Leslie)
Het videos featuring an all-female cast
Note: "all-female" doesn't necessarily mean "lesbian" - basically all of the films in this section were still created primarily with a heterosexual male audience in mind. There do exist films made by and for a lesbian audience (for example those created by S.I.R. Video), but unfortunately AdultDVDEmpire doesn't carry any of them at this time, and I don't currently know any other way to rent them by mail. For this kind of film you'll need to purchase rather than rent, in other words.
The Slumber Party Series (directed by Shane - films in this series are a good place to start)
Chloe's 'I Came, Did You?' (by Chloe - there are several more similarly-titled films in this same series)
Femme 2 (featuring Chloe, with a hot tub and swimming pool theme - a fun mixture of hardcore and softcore)
Wide Open Spaces (directed by Wesley Emerson, and featuring Kelly O'Dell and Nina Hartley)
Bisexual
Note: Essentially all het videos will feature at least one scene with two women - the term "bisexual" when applied to adult videos simply means that the m en will have sex with each other as well.
Bi Now Pay Later
Gay
It's hard to go wrong when picking a film directed by the the famed Chi Chi LaRue. Another option is to use www.gayvnawards.com to find last year's award winners, then search for them by name.
For men-only videos featuring serious BDSM play, those offered by Shotgun Video (although quite extreme) are some of the best-regarded.
BDSM
Note: You may also wish to check out BDSM education films, which may feature more realistic play.
Ivy Manor: The Beginning (this film should be a particular treat for anyone who likes rubber fashion clothing)
Ivy Manor: Jennifer's Initiation (the sequel to The Beginning, similar except featuring less dialogue and more extreme latex gear)
For additional suggestions and reviews...
See either The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos, or the more recent The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn, both by Violet Blue.
If you're watching with your partner...
Here are a few ideas, based on suggestions from Violet Blue's book:
For waiting until after the film to have sex: Don't be surprised if the sex is hotter than normal, even if the film isn't that great - just leave the remote within easy reach so that either of you can fast forward through ny material which turns him or her off. Another alternative (frustrating but in a fun way) is to watch the entire film without touching yourselves or each other, and when the video is over to write down a list of your favorite parts, or things you wish you'd seen in the film, and later on swap your lists for play.
For having sex while watching the film: One easy way to do this is watch the film with your hands in each other's laps, under a blanket: this can be especially hot if you make a "rule" that you can only touch each other, but not yourselves. On the other hand, if intercourse is what you'll prefer, then one possibility is for one partner to straddle the other while facing the TV, and another possibility is doggie-style facing the TV (particularly comfortable if the receiving partner has some big pillows to lie on, so their weight isn't all on their arms). Of course, you can also take turns giving each other oral sex, while the receiving partner watches.
For making a "contest" out of it: Play a game such as tennis or cards. Then watch a movie. During the movie, the partner who won the game gets a vibrator to play with (or can touch themselves as much as they like) while the loser is forbidden from even using their hands. Alternatively, let the winner pick a scene from the film to act out together afterwards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Books
If you prefer your erotica in the form of the written word, then you're in luck: you'll find a wider range of material, and often higher quality material, than in almost any other genre of porn.
Fiction: All Porn
Let's say you aren't as interested in literary "art" as you are in erotic novels which provide reliable masturbation fodder. For that, the following are the leading publishers (where each link will take you to an amazon.com page describing that publisher's most popular titles): or or for het men's erotica, for het women's erotica, or for gay, lesbian, and bi erotica (though please note that Alyson publishes far more than just erotica). With Blue Moon Books their Best of the Erotic Reader collection might be a good way to figure out which of their authors you like, while the equivalents for Black Lace are their collections.
Fiction: Half Porn, Half Literature
Let's say you'd like a fair amount of "stroke" material, but also wouldn't mind a few erotic stories thrown in the mix that either through literary arts, memorable characters, or thought-provoking situations engage your analytical mind as well. Or, let's say you know what you like, and would like to find a collection of stories specific to your preferences. In that case, this section is for you.
Something for Everyone: The Best American Erotica 2007
Stories for Couples: Sweet Life: Erotic Fantasies for Couples
Bisexual: Best Bisexual Women's Erotica and The Best of Both Worlds: Bisexual Erotica
Lesbian: Best Lesbian Erotica 2007
Gay: Best Gay Erotica 2007
Growing Older: Ripe Fruit: Erotica for Well-Seasoned Lovers
Science Fiction: The Bachelor Machine and Erotic Fantastic: The Best of Circlet Press 1992-2002 (note: Circlet Press specializes in sci-fi/fantasy erotica)
BDSM/Fetish: Anne Rice's The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty's Punishment, and Beauty's Release. Carol Queen's The Leather Daddy and The Femme. Kim Corum's Breaking the Girl. Molly Weatherfield's Carrie's Story. Laura Antoniou's The Marketplace, The Slave, The Trainer, The Academy, and The Reunion. Also the anthologies Best Bondage Erotica 2 and Best Fetish Erotica.
Ultra-Short Short Stories: Five Minute Erotica and Down and Dirty: 69 Super Sexy Short-Shorts
Stories Told in the First-Person: Hers: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Her and His: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Him
Female Perspective: Best Women's Erotica 2007
Romance: Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance - Volume 15
Sex Toys: Sex Toy Tales
Food and Sex: Juicy Erotica
Fiction: All Literature
The novel The Butcher: And Other Erotica by Alina Reyes has received literary acclaim, while The Mammoth Book of Erotica is probably the best collection of erotic short stories which includes non-genre writers.
Non-Fiction: Real-Life Stories
These books don't contain fiction, rather they contain vignettes from real peoples' real lives. They may be hit and miss as erotica, but can definitely serve as ways to gain a few insights into sexual orientations other than your own.
Lesbian: Early Embraces III: More True-life Stories of Women Describing Their First Lesbian Experience and Up All Night: Adventures in Lesbian Sex
Gay: My First Time: Gay Men Describe Their First Same-Sex Experience - Volume 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comics
Right now the three best erotic comic artists are Phil Foglio, Colleen Coover, and Michael Manning: it's all fantastic stuff, and some of my favorite erotica of any kind.
Basically, you'd probably prefer Phil Foglio's pansexual work (the XXXenophile Collection volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) or Colleen Coover's all-female work (the Small Favors volumes 1 and 2) if you want something sexy and lighthearted, and you'd probably prefer Michael Manning's work (either the four-part series The Spider Garden, Hydrophidian, In a Metal Web, and In a Metal Web II, or else the stand-alone and more het-focused Tranceptor: The Way Station, or his collections Amerotica and Cathexis, or his art retrospective Inamorata) if you want something more stylized and exotic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audio Recordings
We hope this form of erotica grows in popularity, because it's a lot of fun. As it stands one of the best examples of audio CD's featuring the sounds of real-life sex is Encounters Erotica. Also, a company called Passion Press specializes in producing recordings of actors reading erotic stories: if that sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy, then you'll be pleased to learn audible.com carries several Passion Press titles. If you're not sure whether this is the sort of thing you'd enjoy, then you might want to check out Violet Blue's free podcast Open Source Sex, which in addition to interesting news, sex tips, reviews, and interviews, also features readings of short stories by leading erotic authors (of the early episodes the ones to try are 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 if you're interested in stories rather than interviews or news).
Basically, the unique thing about erotic audio recordings is that you can listen to them via headphones in almost any situation and nobody has to know :)

[edit] Marketed to gay and bisexual men
These magazines may include male-male and occasionally male-male-female content.
Gay pornographic magazines, sometimes known as adult magazines or gay sex magazines, are magazines that contain content of a sexual nature, typically regarded as pornography, that relates to men having sex with men. These magazines are targeted to gay and bisexual men, although they may have some female readers. Such publications provide photographs or other illustrations of nudity and sexual activities, including oral sex, anal sex, and other various forms of such activities. These magazines primarily serve to stimulate sexual thoughts and emotions. Some magazines are very general in their variety of illustrations, while others may be more specific and focus on particular activities or fetishes.
Many stars of gay pornographic videos appear in these magazines. See List of gay porn stars.
Prior to the 1970s, gay pornography was not widely distributed due to censorship laws. Non-pornographic "beefcake magazines" were widely available, and were generally purchased by gay men. See Beefcake magazines.

Pastors Steve and Kathy Gray, founders of World Revival Church in Kansas City, formerly known as the Smithton Outpouring, are leading voices in revival today. In 1996 they were so touched by the power of God that now this ministry impacts thousands of churches around the world with the fire of revival.
They are hosts and executive producers of The Steve & Kathy Show, which airs worldwide, bringing humor with a message and building a bridge to the unchurched, uninterested and unsaved. Appearing many times on The 700 Club, TBN and the Daystar Television Network, they have also been featured in Charisma Magazine, Newsweek and various newspapers and magazines worldwide. Steve is the founder of World Revival Network of Ministries and Churches and the World Revival School of Ministry, training new leaders in the principles of global revival.
Steve and Kathy are also the founders of The House of Hope and Healing, which provides compassionate prayer support 24 hours a day, offering the dignity of healing rather than the devastation of disease. An accomplished singer, songwriter and author, Pastor Steve has several published books including When The Kingdom Comes, Follow the Fire, Hope Heals, Pour Down From the Skies and Strike the Match.

A tipster emailed me 7 days ago to confirm:
John Gladeau is HIV Positive and he did not contract it from his partner, Mitchell Kreigler.
It also reads: John forgets to take his pills.
Is that a good thing?

Bareback (sex)
ReplyDeleteFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Bareback is a term that originated in gay slang to describe acts of unprotected sex, especially anal sex. The term's usage, however, has crossed-over to more mainstream slang to describe any type of penetrative sexual act without the use of a condom.

[edit] Origin
Before the mainstream awareness of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s, the distinction between anal sex with and without a condom was not as prevalent in communications among men who have sex with men (MSMs). Sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention campaigns encouraged condom use but an urgency arose once transmission of HIV/AIDS was somewhat understood (see HIV for more information). Researchers encouraged condom usage as an effective way to reduce HIV transmission. Condoms are now known to be an effective barrier against HIV, as well as to herpes simplex, Cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B, chlamydia and gonorrhea. [1]
The gay male community, having been affected the most by the pandemic, mobilized quickly and the practice of unprotected anal sex quickly became taboo within the community. This was the time when the need for a term to describe the difference between "protected" and "unprotected" sexual acts arose.
Barebacking as a practice is claimed to have become increasingly common again among MSMs in the mid-1990s. Reasons for this are varied, and include correlations based on: an "upswing" in the level of new HIV infections amongst gay men in younger age groups cited by the CDC and WHO, a more public presence of "bareback" literature, personal ads, and publicity of rebellious attitudes towards the practice; the increased effectiveness of HIV/AIDS treatments and the decline of people with AIDS being highly visible and physically compromised as a result of the disease. The later two rationales held in comparison to the 1980s in the gay community when those infected were often visibly sick and their health rapidly declining coupled with mainstream attention to the "new" disease.
[edit] Claimed resurgence
Gay columnists and editorialists in The Advocate, Genre magazine and Out magazine during the late 1990s and into the new millennium have made several claims as to why barebacking in first-world nation gay communities as a practice, re-surged in the 1990s.
* The advent and relatively noticeable success of protease inhibitors and other drugs for treating HIV infections has changed the perception of HIV infection from an untreatable terminal illness to a treatable chronic malady.
* Decreasing effectiveness of health education messages in the gay community fails to promote condom use (see condom fatigue).
* Methamphetamines have become akin to a "drug of choice" within gay male (and other) populations; individuals under the influence of meth are less likely to be concerned over potential hazards of their behaviour.
* Gay men with opposing beliefs about the practice of barebacking get "more publicity" about their feelings than in the past.
* Bareback pornography is available and contributes to the apathy, romanticising and eroticising of the practice.
* Online solicitation services for bare-backing partners has led to an increase in the practice.[2]
[edit] Controversy
This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims.
Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for details. (November 2007)
"Say no to meth and bareback" sign
Bareback sex by gay men is controversial both inside and outside the gay community. Some condemn barebacking and barebackers because they believe that the practice has caused upsurges in of STDs and HIV infections among young people and has given bad publicity to the gay community.
Other commentators say that the publicity that barebacking has received is disproportionate to its pervasiveness, and that any focus by news media or epidemiologists on barebacking has more to do with stereotypes of gay men as promiscuous and irresponsible, along with the larger culture's aversion to gay male sexuality, instead of any real change in what gay men are doing. The latter group of commentators may also argue that adult men should be able to engage in the consensual acts of their choosing without permission or apology.
Bareback has become a fetish among some in the gay community. In addition to bareback pornography (see below), there are websites and discussion boards on the Internet devoted exclusively to barebacking that feature pictures of men engaged in bareback sex, personal advertisements of men seeking bareback sex with other men and erotic short stories involving barebacking. This subculture has developed its own slang terms, such as "breeding" (ejaculation inside the rectum of the receptive participant), "charging up" (the same as breeding, but the male doing the ejaculating is HIV positive), "Russian Roulette party" or "conversion party" (a group sex party attended by HIV-positive and HIV-negative persons, the latter taking the chance that they may become infected with HIV).
[edit] Popular culture
Bareback gay pornography exists, with some bareback films portraying and glamorizing ejaculation in the rectum or on the anus of the models in the films. There are a number of gay pornography studios that produce bareback films. San Francisco based studio Treasure Island Media has produced bareback films since 1999. A number of Eastern European studios supply the increasing demand from homosexual men in North America and Western Europe for bareback pornography, including SEVP and Eurocreme and Czech producers who supply footage to Hot Desert Knights for their "international line". These studios and the stars of their films have often come under heavy criticism for showing, and perhaps romanticizing, bareback sex, particularly to young gay men. However, proponents claim the films actually keep barebacking to a minimum in the gay community by providing men with a visual substitute for the actual act.
Some bareback pornography studios say that they do not inquire whether their models are HIV positive, but assume that they are infected.[3] Other studios claim that they test their models for HIV antibodies and only hire models who are HIV negative.[3]
Bareback heterosexual pornography in the U.S. has long been the norm and only recently has slightly changed to reflect new restrictions by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that state that requiring models to have unsafe sex in films creates a hazardous working environment.
[edit] Heterosexual bareback
Condom use amongst heterosexual people has dramatically increased during the last 20 years as groups respond to health messages about HIV/AIDS prevention.[citation needed] In some groups, the use of a condom has become the norm, and the use of the word "bareback" has gained utility as a way to describe sex without a condom.
Regardless, bareback heterosexual sex without a condom has not created the moral panic that gay barebacking has. This can be attributed to the fact that gay men have become more organized in STD prevention.[citation needed] Furthermore barebacking is gaining popularity amongst the swinging arena whereby organizers are offering a vetting service for members to reduce the risk of STIs.
[edit] Prostitution
In the sex trade, the willingness to bareback is a selling point for sex workers to their clients despite the increased risks implied to the client. A "girlfriend experience" (GFE) was coined to reflect "a real relationship for the moment with a sincere women who enjoys the experience, not just mechanical sex" but has been assigned an alternative implication of a lack of barriers.[4] Many prostitutes are willing to perform a bareback blowjob (BBBJ) because it is less risky than other forms of unprotected contact with body fluids.

3. ^ a b For example, Hot Desert Knights (HDK) was one of the studios that initially operated on the assumption that all of their bareback models were HIV positive. J.C. Adams's "The Adams Report: The GayVN Awards Show Highlights" (2002) at quotes Jackson Price, the then director of casting for HDK as saying “we assume everyone is positive" and that HDK did not require disclosure of any model's HIV status. However, on February 7, 2008, HDK announced that it would begin testing its models for HIV and engage in a process of "sero-sorting", a controversial scheme in which studios match HIV-positive performers with other HIV-positive performers, and negative with negative. Critics suggest that sero-sorting may not prevent the development of a multi-strain "supervirus." See: http://www.thesword.com/2008/02/bareback-studio-commits-to-hiv-testing.html In contrast, Bel Ami is one of the studios that claimed from the beginning to test their bareback models for HIV before allowing them to participate in condom-free scenes. A notice on the Bel Ami website at states “all our performers are regularly tested for the presence of HIV or other communicable diseases”.

I talked to Mitch the other day and he says you are writing a book about when you were growing up in a cult, the Jehovah Witness.
ReplyDeleteMitch says it'll be a best-seller and you'll make millions off of it.
IS YOUR BOOK DONE YET?
John Gladeau and Mitchell Kreigler started all this trouble. Contact their church and share with them all the disgusting hate they have been spreading in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for a TROY ALLEN KOEHNE. Tall, dorky lookin', his right hand is larger than his left hand.
ReplyDeleteHe tried to out run me in his Jeep Cherokee. I caught him once, and the Police had him in handcuffs and in the paddy wagon. Cried like a little baby.
Contact me through Casenet for his whereabouts or/and his location of his employer
OR
If anyone knows where he is just list it here
A tipster emailed me 7 days ago to confirm:
ReplyDeleteJohn Gladeau is HIV Positive and he did not contract it from his partner, Mitchell Kreigler.
It also reads: John forgets to take his pills.
Is that a good thing?
yes it is a good thing
ReplyDeletei agree
ReplyDeleteMITCH KREIGLER and Joe the plumber have several things in common:
ReplyDelete1. They have no license for there trade of work.
2. They don't file tax returns with the city or state, ever.
3. They both have expired license plates on their commercial vehicles for the past 2 years.
4. Their commercial vehicles are not registered with the city.
5. Their both bald. PRICELESS.
John Gladeau, we want the old hyde park markers you took and placed in one of Mitch's storage rental facility.
ReplyDeletePlease be a nice person for once in awhile.
The way you phrase your words, and the ignorant misinformation you present gives you away. I also know who the other two anonymous posters are who have been attacking me off and on. They don't even live in the neighborhood. One resides way up in Canada and the other in an apartment in Guam. You both said enough to reveal yourselves.
ReplyDeleteThe signs Mitchell Kreigler is referring to are 8.2 feet tall aluminum street signs bearing the name Old Hyde Park Historic District. They were supposed to be placed along neighborhood streets years ago. Mitch and his buddy Troy Koehne, Old Hyde Park's Glory Boys, were on the committee to work on their installation. Of course, all they ever presented were excuses and the project was never completed. I repeatedly expressed to the board the danger those markers were in since they were openly stored outside in the back yard because we had no other place to put them. The Carson's had them stored in their basements for years but they pissed me off and I wanted them placed back in my back yard. One could not clearly see them from the parking lot over the 4ft gate. I kept my back yard very trash like my second floor in my house. We were home when they were not stolen. We weren't out of town for several days due to a family tragedy(Mitch's sister in law blew her brains out). I don't think the markers would fit in the back of my two door Cougar. Our utility vehicle is loaded to the top so they could not fit in it either. But we knew people who had a pick-up truck. We don't own any other vehicles. All indications are they weren't taken from the parking lot side of our house.
Aluminum and other metals are being sought out by thieves with such aggression in Kansas City and other places, they are even stealing wire from utility poles. We never had two large ladders taken the previous month. Also, contrary to what Troy Koehne says, they are not worth 7000.00. Sold for scrap they would bring at most maybe 3000.00 to 4000.00 for the entire lot of six.
Big money there, huh? Yes.
I cooperated fully with the detectives on the case. There in One of Mitch's storage facility. I really do hope they do not turn up. Because I would be in big trouble with the law.I know the nice detectives, if I didn't lie all the time. I'll even donate a can of Crisco to get the installation job completed. I can admit Crisco works. I and Mitch uses it all the time. The taste of it is pretty bad.
Troy's Revised Copy:
ReplyDeleteIn violation of Old Hyde Park Historic District's by-laws, the board of Old Hyde Park did not removed John Gladeau as president with cause and without a vote of the general membership truely he had verbally resigned mid-term. John Gladeau resigned in front of the Board in his house. The Board brought it to a vote and passed. In early September, John asked the board to participate in mediation with a City mediator to work out "johns" issues.
John is a founding member of Old Hyde Park Historic District, Inc. In 1994 he spearheaded the effort to place the neighborhood on the Local Register of Historic Places and in 2004 he worked along side former board member Troy Koehne, who was treasurer and focked up the books, did not cash checks, took out money out of the checking account without approval, lost the records on who paid, screamed at city hall hearings. He tried to serve on the Landmarks Commission but was turned down because he was too dam mean. Other commissioners would say they would quit if he was placed on Landmark Commission. John Gladeau did get the neighborhood place Old Hyde Park on the National Register of Historic Places.
Every year John Gladeau would resigned and would place himself back on as President.
John Gladeau would always get people to join the Board every election. This time John picked a strong Board. Strong enough to keep to his word of resigning.
Howard Carson said John Gladeau "picked" the board members who kept to John Gladeau word of him resigning. True. Martin Phillips of A.Zahner Company of Kansas City and Paul Hensley,owner of Hensley Technologies and treasurer of Old Hyde Park Historic District, Inc. of Kansas City Missouri.Stacy Shellhorn was a former board member. She is an employee of Home Depot in Midtown Marketplace Kansas City. Martin Phillips picked Gayl Reinsch to serve as a director. All of these people are within one block of his house.
ReplyDeleteAlong with Martin's accomplishment with Lydia Carson.
WE AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATION FOR BEING OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS. IT IS A GREAT HONOR.
THANKS AGAIN FOR MAKING JOHN GLADEAU KEEPING TO HIS WORD OF RESIGNING.
I heard the support for Old Hyde Park is growing fast. Pat yourself on the back everyone, for getting the Board to keep to John Gladeau's to his word!
ReplyDeleteWe have increased our membership 4 times from what it was.
Why? they found out John Gladeau is no longer the President of Old Hyde Park.
Its true John, no one likes you anymore, except for your next door neighbors
ReplyDeleteI hear the EMERALD HOUSE got there liquor license this is great. A new place to party. will be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, lol that was a good one. salt,salt,salt, rub, rub rub.
ReplyDeletewhat does that mean? I hear it is going to be nice. their installing new entrance and exit doors in the rear of the building. They will have off street parking. I don,t see a problem.
ReplyDeleteLOL Howie you ignorant dunce, OHP increased membership because John came on back on the board a year and a half ago. And as I recall Martin and Lydia begged him to come back on board. He put the Association back together and then you assholes dumped him. But not without PAIN
ReplyDeleteAnd no one and I mean NO ONE cares for you Howard Carson. You should have heard the talk about you and Lydia at the party you missed last year. Even Herrera can't stand you but fears for his job. Everyone thinks your a retarded dumbass who sponges off his wife. Martin hates Lydia but have come together (for the time being) in their hatred for John. The new board is like oil and water!
ReplyDeleteErin Chapman you ignorant dunce, OHP increased membership because John left the board this year.
ReplyDeleteI always thought Clarinda, Iowa would be a great place for John Gladeau and start a neighborhood association up there.

Since John Gladeau's father had Dementia. It won't be long until John gets Dementia. He'll get it earlier due to the fact he is HIV Positive.
ReplyDeleteDementia is a non-specific illness syndrome (set of symptoms) in which affected areas of cognition may be memory, attention, language, and problem solving. Higher mental functions are affected first in the process. Especially in the later stages of the condition, affected persons may be disoriented in time (not knowing what day of the week, day of the month, month, or even what year it is), in place (not knowing where they are), and in person (not knowing who they are).
John, its still 2008 not 2007.
Now that you mention it, last time I saw John he seem a little disoriental. He felt paranoid, like someone was after him. This is why he hardly comes out of his house.
ReplyDeleteI think its a good thing John took himself off the Board.
I hope he doesn't have Schizophrenia
Honestly, you people are idiots.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know how stupid you're making all of Old Hyde Park look.
That there are people here so petty and stupid that can't get along about insignificant neighborhood issues is troubling for everybody who lives in Kansas City.
Honestly, Troy is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know how stupid you're making you life look.
That Mitch and Troy here so petty and stupid that can't get along with each other.
I don't think John Gladeau should drink alcohol when he's taking his meds. I keep telling his meds don't work when he is drinking alcohol.
ReplyDeleteThere are times where he seems delusional.
Howard Carson you are a twisted, sick man making fun of HIV, and Frank,John's dad who had Alzheimers. None of the problems in Old Hyde Park would have occurred if you had not started your shit with John!

ReplyDeleteCURSING PROPERTY
ReplyDeletethere are many common ingredients that can be used to curse
a general area (premises, property, etc.). one item that is
common is the use of what is sometimes (especially outside
the hoodoo community) referred to as a "Witches' Bottle."
here is what catherine yronwode has already written in
reflection of what sources like Harry M. Hyatt and others
have described of these "bottles" (which can also be cans,
boxes, or any number of other types of containers):
--------------------------------------
In the African-American hoodoo or conjure tradition, bottles
filled with sharp objects such as pins, needles, or nails
are [...] used in spells of malevolence and destruction.
According to the oral histories collected by Harry M. Hyatt
from 1,600 African-American informants in the South during
the 1930s, these bottle spells are used to harm others or
cause marital spats and break-ups. I don't have time now to
transcribe a batch of Hyatt's informant's words verbatim,
but here is a rough guideline to what he was told. The
complete texts can be found in his 5-volime book "Hoodoo -
Conjuration - Witchcraft - Rootwork" (Detailed information
about this rare, out-of-print book is archived at
http://www.luckymojo.com/hyatt.html ):
Typical ingredients for a harmful bottle spell:
* 9 pins
* 9 needles
* 9 coffin nails (or other rusty nails)
plus one or more of the following subsidiary ingredients:
* goofer dust and/or graveyard dirt (for recipes, see
http://www.luckymojo.com/gooferdust.html )
* hot foot powder (for recipes, see
http://www.luckymojo.com/hotfoot.html )
* assorted "evil" roots or herbs
(e.g. red pepper, black mustard seeds)
* assorted "evil" minerals
(e.g. sulphur, blue vitriol)
* whiskey
plus one or more of the following items to personalize the spell:
* urine of victim
(called "chamber lye" in old accounts)
* hair of victim
* menstrual blood of [female] victim
(from stolen panties or sanitary pad)
* feces of victim
* name of victim written on a piece of paper
additionally, to cause a break-up in a target couple:
* hair from a black cat and hair from a black dog,
mingled together (so they'll "fight like cats
and dogs")
Methods of deployment:
* bury the bottle where the victim will walk over it
(foot track magic)
* conceal the bottle in the victim's chimney-corner
* wall the bottle up in the victim's house or basement
* bury the bottle at the base of the chimney outside
victim's house
* poke a tiny hole in the bottle cap, throw into running
water (e.g. tidal bay) so that as it sinks, victim's
vitality will ebb
* if feces used, fill bottle tight and wedge it into
a hole in a tree where it cannot ever be found;
(victim will experience stoppage of the bowels)
* if urine used, fill bottle full and wedge it into
a hole in a tree where it cannot ever be found;
(victim will experience stoppage of the bladder or
kidney disease)
--------------------------------------
as you can see, there's a great deal of variability in the
construction of these bottle spells. in addition, sometimes
they, like most "crossing" materials, can also seen as
useful for PROTECTIVE spells and charms. some of Hyatt's
informants, for example, described ordinarily caustic
materials such as pepper and even lye as valuable protective
dressings for one's feet (pepper inside, diluted lye on the
bottom outside of the shoes).
burying one of these bottles on a particular property can be
a very effective means of cursing it in a permanent sense,
especially if that bottle [...] is provided encouragement
through spells like black-candle-burning on the side.
an easier and less extravagant method of enacting such a
crossing or curse would be to "powder" the area with some
sort of negative formula like Crossing Sachet Powder, Hot
Foot Powder, or even Black Arts Sachet Powder. regular
sprinklings of these powders could contribute to a general
aura of cursedness for any venturing too near.
there are also non-bottled concoctions buried in people's
yards which informants in Hyatt's work mention. these include
such elements as Dirt Dauber's nests, sulphur, red and/or
black pepper, urine, feces, of course items like Goofer Dust
and Graveyard Dirt, and many of the various items listed by
catherine as regards to the caustic bottle spells above.

ReplyDeleteWalking on, walking on broken glass
You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
But I don't care for sugar, honey, if I can't have you
Since you've abandoned me
My whole life has crashed
Won't you pick the pieces up
'Cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
The sun's still shining in the deep blue sky
But it don't mean nothing to me
Oh, let the rain come down
Let the wind blow through me
I'm living in an empty room
With all the WINDOWS smashed
And I've got so little left to lose
That it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
And if you're trying to cut me down
You know that I might bleed
'Cause if you're trying to cut me down
I know that you'll succeed
And if you want to hurt me
There's nothing left to fear
Cause if you want to hurt me
You're doing really well my dear
Now everyone of us is made to suffer
Everyone of us is made to weep
But we've been hurting one another
And now the pain has cut too deep . . .
So take me from the wreckage
Save me from the blast
Lift me up and take me back
Don't let me keep on walking . . .
I can't keep on walking on, i can't keep on walking on broken glass

and I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and...
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat.
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...
A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you please.

ReplyDeleteTroy's Revised Copy:
ReplyDeleteIn violation of Old Hyde Park Historic District's by-laws, the board of Old Hyde Park did not removed John Gladeau as president with cause and without a vote of the general membership truely he had verbally resigned mid-term. John Gladeau resigned in front of the Board in his house. The Board brought it to a vote and passed. In early September, John asked the board to participate in mediation with a City mediator to work out "johns" issues.
John is a founding member of Old Hyde Park Historic District, Inc. In 1994 he spearheaded the effort to place the neighborhood on the Local Register of Historic Places and in 2004 he worked along side former board member Troy Koehne, who was treasurer and focked up the books, did not cash checks, took out money out of the checking account without approval, lost the records on who paid, screamed at city hall hearings. He tried to serve on the Landmarks Commission but was turned down because he was too dam mean. Other commissioners would say they would quit if he was placed on Landmark Commission. John Gladeau did get the neighborhood place Old Hyde Park on the National Register of Historic Places.
Every year John Gladeau would resigned and would place himself back on as President.
John Gladeau would always get people to join the Board every election. This time John picked a strong Board. Strong enough to keep to his word of resigning.
We have increased our membership 4 times from what it was.

Suicide note
This box: view • talk • edit
Suicide (Latin suicidium, from sui caedere, to kill oneself) is the act of terminating one's own life. Many dictionaries also note the metaphorical sense of "willful destruction of one's self-interest".[1] Suicide may occur for a number of reasons, including depression, shame, guilt, desperation, physical pain, pressure, anxiety, financial difficulties, or other undesirable situations. It should be noted however that there are those who lead comparably happy lifestyles and choose to end their own lives for reasons other than the aforementioned negative ones. The World Health Organization noted that someone commits suicide every 39 seconds thus making it one of the leading causes of death in the world.[2] There are an estimated 10 to 20 million non-fatal attempted suicides every year.[3]
Views on suicide have been influenced by cultural views on existential themes such as religion, honor, and the meaning of life. The Abrahamic religions and Hinduism consider suicide a dishonorable act; in the West it was often regarded as a serious crime and an offense towards God due to religious belief in the sanctity of life. However, Christianity and other religions have a concept of martyrdom, which is considered a highly meritorious act and separate to suicide. Japanese views on honor and religion led to seppuku, one of the most painful methods of suicide, to be respected as a means to atone for mistakes or failure, or as a form of protest during the samurai era. In the 20th century, suicide in the form of self-immolation has been used as a form of protest, and in the form of kamikaze and suicide bombing as a military or terrorist tactic. Sati is a Hindu funeral practice in which the widow would immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre, either willingly, or under pressure from the family and in-laws.[4]
Medically assisted suicide (euthanasia, or the right to die) is a controversial ethical issue involving people who are terminally ill, in extreme pain, and/or have minimal quality of life through injury or illness. Self-sacrifice for others is not usually considered suicide, as the goal is not to kill oneself but to save another.
The predominant view of modern medicine is that suicide is a mental health concern, associated with psychological factors such as the difficulty of coping with depression, inescapable suffering or fear, or other mental disorders and pressures. Suicide is sometimes interpreted in this framework as a "cry for help" and attention, or to express despair and the wish to escape, rather than a genuine intent to die.[5] Most people who attempt suicide do not complete suicide on a first attempt; those who later gain a history of repetitions have a significantly higher probability of eventual completion of suicide.[6]

[edit] Suicidal ideation
Main article: Suicidal ideation
Suicidal ideation is a medical term for thoughts about suicide, which may range from vague or unformed urges to meticulously detailed plans and posthumous instructions. The condition requires professional intervention to determine its extent, including the presence of a suicide plan and the patient's means to commit suicide. Severe suicidal ideation is a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.[7]
[edit] Suicidal gestures and attempts
Sometimes, a person will make actions resembling suicide attempts while not being fully committed. This is called a suicidal gesture. Prototypical methods might be a non-lethal method of self-harm that leaves obvious signs of the attempt, or simply a lethal action at a time when the person considers it likely that he/she will be rescued or prevented from fully carrying it out.
On the other hand, a person who genuinely wishes to die may survive, due to lack of knowledge, unwillingness to try methods that may end in permanent damage to her- or himself (in the event of an attempt which does not result in death), unwillingness to try methods which may harm others, an unanticipated rescue, among other reasons. There may be conflict, whereby a genuinely suicidal person can be desperate enough to want to kill themselves but at the same time, too afraid to go through with the extreme measures that are needed to guarantee death. It may be incorrect to state that a person who survived an overdose was issuing a 'cry for help' when in reality it was a suicide attempt that simply did not result in death. This highlights a basic fact that it is not easy to kill oneself in a way that is not traumatic or painful, hence the phenomenon of attempted suicides. This is referred to as a suicide attempt.
Edouard Manet: Suicide, 1877Distinguishing between a suicide attempt and a suicidal gesture may be difficult. Intent and motivation are not always fully discernible since so many people in a suicidal state are genuinely conflicted over whether they wish to end their lives. One approach, assuming that a sufficiently strong suicide intent will ensure death, considers all near-suicides to be suicidal gestures. This, however, does not explain why so many people whose suicide attempts do not result in death end up with severe injuries, often permanent, which are most likely undesirable to those who are making a suicidal gesture. (See: self-harming.) Another possibility is those wishing merely to make a suicidal gesture may end up accidentally killing themselves, perhaps by underestimating the lethality of the method chosen or by overestimating the possibility of external intervention by others. Suicide-like acts should generally be treated as seriously as possible, because if there is an insufficiently strong reaction from loved ones from a suicidal gesture, this may motivate future and ultimately more committed attempts.
In the technical literature the use of the terms parasuicide, or deliberate self-harm (DSH) are preferred – both of these terms avoid the question of the intent of the actions.
Nearly half of all suicides are preceded by an attempt at suicide that does not end in death. Those with a history of such attempts are 23 times more likely to eventually end their own lives than those without.[8] Those who attempt to harm themselves are, as a group, quite different from those who actually die from suicide; females attempt suicide much more frequently than males, however males are four times more likely to die from suicide.[9]
[edit] Suicide crisis
Main article: Suicide crisis
A non-fatal attempt at suicide, or a situation in which a person is seriously contemplating suicide or has strong suicidal thoughts, is considered by public safety authorities to be a medical emergency requiring suicide intervention.
[edit] Suicide note
Main article: Suicide note
A suicide note is a written message left by someone who attempts, or dies by suicide, though a large number of people who complete suicide do not leave one.[10] Studies give inconsistent results as to the proportion of people who leave suicide notes - with a range of approximately 12 to 37%. Motivations for leaving a note range widely, from seeking closure with loved ones to exacting revenge against others by blaming them for the decision. It may also contain a few sentences apologizing to those they have left behind.
[edit] Epidemiology
Main article: Epidemiology of suicide
According to official statistics, about a million people die by suicide annually, more than those murdered or killed in war.[11] According to 2005 data, suicides in the U.S. outnumber homicides by nearly 2 to 1 and ranks as the 11th leading cause of death in the country, ahead of liver disease and Parkinson's disease.[12] According to a 2008 report from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s Center for Injury Research and Policy, the rate of suicide in the United States is increasing for the first time in a decade. The increase in the overall suicide rate between 1999 and 2005 was due primarily to an increase in suicides among whites aged 40-64, with white middle-aged women experiencing the largest annual increase.[13] Worldwide suicide rates have increased by 60% in the past 50 years, mainly in the developing countries. Most suicides in the world occur in Asia, which is estimated to account for up to 60% of all suicides. According to the World Health Organization, China, India and Japan may account for 40% of all world suicides.[14]
Gender and suicide: In the Western world, males die much more often by means of suicide than do females, although females attempt suicide more often. This pattern has held for at least a century.[15] Some medical professionals believe this stems from the fact that males are more likely to end their lives through effective violent means (guns, knives, hanging, etc.), while women primarily use more failure-prone methods such as overdosing on medications; again, this has been the case for at least a century.[15]
United States suicide rates for white men, by Health Service Area, 1988–1992. This map and the map at right use the same color scale: note the large difference in rates between men and women. The regional patterns for men and women are similar, but not the same.[16]
United States suicide rates for white women, by Health Service Area, 1988–1992. [16]Others ascribe the difference to inherent differences in male/female psychology. Greater social stigma against male depression and a lack of social networks of support and help with depression are often identified as key reasons for men's disproportionately higher level of suicides, since suicide as a "cry for help" is not seen by men as an equally viable option. Typically males die from suicide three to four times more often as females, and not unusually five or more times as often.
Excess male mortality from suicide is also evident from data from non-western countries. In 1979–81, 74 territories reported one or more cases of suicides. Two of these reported equal rates for both sexes: Seychelles and Kenya. Three territories reported female rates exceeding male rates: Papua New Guinea, Macau, French Guiana. The remaining 69 territories had male suicide rates greater than female suicide rates.[17]
Barraclough found that the female rates of those aged 5–14 equaled or exceeded the male rates only in 14 countries, mainly in South America and Asia.[18]
National suicide rates sometimes tend to remain stable. For example, the 1975 rates for Australia, Denmark, England, France, Norway, and Switzerland were within 3.0 per 100,000 of population from the 1875 rates.[19] The rates in 1910–14 and in 1960 differed less than 2.5 per 100,000 of the population in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, England and Wales, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the Netherlands.[20]
Suicides per 100,000 people per year[21] Rank Country Males Females Total Year
1 Lithuania 68.1 12.9 38.6 2005
2 Belarus 63.3 10.3 35.1 2003
3 Russia 58.1 9.8 32.2 2005
4 South Africa[22] N/A N/A 30.0 2004
5 Slovenia 42.1 11.1 26.3 2006
6 Hungary 42.3 11.2 26.0 2005
7 Kazakhstan 45.0 8.1 25.9 2005
8 Latvia 42.0 9.6 24.5 2005
There are considerable differences in national suicide rates among various countries. Findings from two studies showed a range from 0 to more than 40 suicides per 100,000 of population.[23]
National suicide rates, apparently universally, show a long-term upward trend. This trend has been well-documented in European countries.[24] The trend for national suicide rates to rise slowly over time might be an indirect result of the gradual reduction in deaths from other causes, i.e. falling death rates from causes other than suicide uncover a previously hidden predisposition towards suicide.[25][26] There may also be an explanation in the reduced stigma attached to survivors as suicide is no longer considered a crime or a sin. This may allow coroners to record more suicides as such and so increase statistics.
Suicides in the U.S. by gender, age, and racial or ethnic group, 1999–2005.Ethnic groups and suicide: In the USA, Asian-Americans are more likely to die by suicide than any other ethnic group. Caucasians die by suicide more often than African Americans do. This is true for both genders. Non-Hispanic Caucasians are nearly 2.5 times more likely to kill themselves than are African Americans or Hispanics.[27]
Age and suicide: In the USA, males over the age of seventy die by suicide more often than younger males. There is no such trend for females. Older non-Hispanic Caucasian men are much more likely to kill themselves than older men or women of any other group.
Season and suicide: People die by suicide more often during spring and summer. The idea that suicide is more common during Christmas is a common misconception.[28] There is also potential risk of suicide in some people experiencing Seasonal affective disorder. Some studies have found that elderly people are more likely to commit suicide around their birthdays.[who?]

[edit] Euthanasia and assisted suicide
Euthanasia machine invented by Dr Philip Nitschke, on display at Science Museum, London.Main article: Euthanasia
Individuals who wish to end their own life may enlist the assistance of another person to achieve death, e.g. by a deadly poison. The other person, usually a family member or physician, may help carry out the act if the individual lacks the physical capacity to do so even with the supplied means. According to different moral views, this may not be considered a form of suicide. The assistant may think of it as acting in behalf of the individual, perhaps to end suffering, while opponents regard it as akin to murder. Assisted suicide is a contentious moral and political issue in many countries, as seen in the scandal surrounding Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a medical practitioner who supported euthanasia, was found to have helped patients end their own lives, and was sentenced to prison time.
[edit] Murder-suicide
It has been suggested that Murder-suicide be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)
A murder-suicide is an act in which an individual kills one or more other persons immediately before or at the same time as him or herself.
The combination of murder and suicide can take various forms, including:
Suicide to facilitate murder, as in suicide bombing
Suicide after murder to escape punishment
Suicide after murder as a form of self-punishment due to guilt
Having a combined objective of suicide and murder
Considering one's suicide as the main act, but murdering one's children first, to avoid them becoming orphans, to be together in an expected afterlife, in the context of severe depression where the person feels he is sparing his loved ones from a horrible life, or simply just to experience the act
Joint suicide in the form of killing the other with consent, and then killing oneself
Punishment - taking revenge on those deemed responsible and escaping the world seen as a terrible place, as in many school shootings
Some cases of cult suicide may also involve murder. Conversely, many spree killings have ended in suicide.
The motivation for the murder in murder-suicide can be purely criminal in nature or be perceived by the perpetrator as an act of care for loved ones in the context of severe depression. The severely depressed person may see the world as a terrible place and can feel that they are helping those they care about by removing them from it. Thoughts like this are generally regarded as a medical emergency requiring suicide intervention.[citation needed]
Since crime just prior to suicide is often perceived as being without consequences, it is not uncommon for suicide to be linked with homicide. Motivations may range from guilt to evading punishment, insanity, part of a suicide pact, or exacting revenge on those whom they feel are responsible.[citation needed]
[edit] Suicide attack
Main article: Suicide attack
A suicide attack is when an attacker perpetrates an act of violence against others, typically to achieve a military or political goal, that foreseeable results in his or her own death as well. Suicide bombings have been prominent in the news in recent years as an act of terrorism. Other historical examples include the assassination of Tsar Alexander II and the in part successful kamikaze attacks by Japanese air pilots during the Second World War.
[edit] Self-injury
Main article: Self-injury
Self-injury is not a suicide attempt; however, initially self-injury was erroneously classified as a suicide attempt. There is a non-causal correlation between self-harm and suicide; both are most commonly a joint effect of depression.
[edit] Suicide locations
Some landmarks have become known for high-levels of suicide attempts. Two of the most popular locations in the world are reportedly San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and Japan's Aokigahara Forest.[29] The Golden Gate Bridge had a count exceeding 1,200 jumpers in 2005[30], while Aokigahara has had a record of 78 bodies found within the forest in 2002, replacing the previous record of 73 in 1998.[31] The suicide rate of both places is so high that numerous signs, urging potential victims of suicide to seek help, have been posted.
[edit] Suicide methods

In countries where firearms are readily available, many suicides involve the use of firearms. Over 52% of suicides that occurred in the United States in 2005 were by firearm.[32] Asphyxiation methods (including hanging) and toxification (poisoning and overdose) are fairly common as well. Together they comprised about 40% of suicides in the U.S. during the same time period. Other methods of suicide include blunt force trauma (jumping from a building or bridge, self-defenestrating, stepping in front of a train, or car collision, for example). Exsanguination or bloodletting (slitting one's wrist or throat), intentional drowning, self-immolation, electrocution, intentional radiation poisoning and intentional starvation are other suicide methods.
[edit] Reasons for suicide
[edit] Causes of suicide
There are a variety of reasons posited or given for suicide:
Mental disorders
Suffering
Unrequited love
Stress
Grief
Withdrawal or discontinuation of psychoactive substances
As philosophically or ideologically motivated move
To escape punishment or an abusive environment
Guilt or shame
Catastrophic injury
Financial loss
Self sacrifice
As part of a military or social strategy (e.g. suicide attacks)
Belief that life has no inherent value (e.g. absurdism, pessimism, nihilism)
As part of a religious or cult doctrine
Loneliness
To restore honor (e.g. seppuku)
Curiosity for post-life occurrences
Fear of aging
Unresolved sexual issues
Drugs as in the paradoxical effect of some sedatives
[edit] Suicide and mental illness
Studies show a high incidence of psychiatric disorders in suicide victims at the time of their death with the total figure ranging from 98%[33] to 87.3%[34] with mood disorders and substance abuse being the two most common. A person diagnosed with schizophrenia may commit suicide for a number of reasons, including because of depression. Suicide among people suffering from bipolar disorder is often an impulse, which is due to the sufferer's extreme mood swings (one of the main symptoms of bipolar disorder), or also possibly an outcome of delusions occurring during an episode of mania or psychotic depression. Major depressive disorder is associated with a higher than average rate of suicide, especially in men.
World map of suicide rates per 100,000.
[edit] Criticism
Many studies measuring incidence of psychiatric disorder in suicides employ after-the-fact diagnosis. Such studies are often criticized for lack of objectivity. The main argument is that a decision of the psychiatrist is biased if he believes that suicidal people must be mentally ill. This bias is indirectly confirmed by statistics: "the highest estimate of mental illness when a sample had been diagnosed before suicide was 22 percent. Afterward the highest estimate was 90 percent."[35]
Use of after-the-fact diagnosis may lead to a kind of tautology. In simple words, "We say, in essence, 'All people who attempt suicide are mentally ill.' If someone asks, 'How do you know they are mentally ill?' the implied answer is, 'Because only mentally ill persons would try to commit suicide.'[36]
[edit] Other reasons
[edit] Suicide as a form of defiance and protest
Heroic suicide, for the greater good of others, is often celebrated. For instance, Mahatma Gandhi went on a hunger strike to prevent fighting between Hindus and Muslims, and, although he was stopped before dying, it appeared he would have willingly succumbed to starvation. This attracted attention to Gandhi's cause, and generated a great deal of respect for him as a spiritual leader. In the 1960s, Buddhist monks, most notably Thích Quảng Đức in South Vietnam, drew Western attention to their protests against President Ngô Đình Diệm by burning themselves to death. Also in the 1960s, Quaker Norman Morrison committed suicide by self-immolation to protest the United States involvement in the Vietnam War. Similar events were reported during the Cold War in eastern Europe, such as the deaths of Ryszard Siwiec and later of Jan Palach and Jan Zajíc following the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, or Romas Kalanta's self-immolation in the main street of Kaunas, Lithuania in 1972. More recently, in 2006, an American anti-war activist, Malachi Ritscher, died by suicide by self-immolation as a protest against the Iraq war. In Ireland there exists a long tradition of hunger strike to the death against British rule, predominantly in Northern Ireland during the infamous 1981 hunger strikes, led by Bobby Sands, which resulted in 10 deaths. The period caused international outrage as shown, for example, by the Indian parliament standing for two minutes of silence or, the Iranian government renaming the street in Tehran on which the British Embassy stands to "Bobby Sands Street", named after the first hunger-striker to die in 1981. Before the Republic of Ireland became independent there were also examples of hunger striking, such as Terence McSwiney in Cork. Critics may see such suicides as counter-productive, arguing that these people would probably achieve a comparable or greater result by spending the rest of their lives in active struggle. This is a contentious issue, especially when one considers that the Northern Ireland hunger strikers who died trying to obtain certain prisoners rights (e.g. POW status, right to wear own clothes, right not to have to work, etc.) actually had nearly all their requests eventually granted in the years after the spate of 1981 hunger strikes happened.
People who commit suicide may not always be suffering from depression or despair. Some people may kill themselves for the purpose of experiencing life after death, or have a different existential, religious or philosophical motive. This points out that views of suicide are individually and culturally subjective.
[edit] Judicial suicide
A person who has committed a crime will often commit suicide to avoid prosecution and disgrace:
Colonel Alfred Redl was presented with the evidence of his espionage and shot himself to avoid a trial.
Budd Dwyer, a Treasurer of Pennsylvania, killed himself on January 22, 1987 while on live television after being convicted (wrongly, he claimed) of financial crimes, in order to draw attention to his case and to enable his widow to draw survivor benefits (since he died before being removed from office).
More recently, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, dubbed the DC Madam by the media, was convicted on April 15, 2008 of racketeering, using the mail for illegal purposes, and money laundering. On May 1, 2008 she was found dead by hanging, an apparent suicide.
[edit] Military suicide
Main article: Suicide attack
A kamikaze attack on the escort carrier USS White PlainsIn the desperate final days of World War II, many Japanese pilots volunteered for kamikaze missions in an attempt to forestall defeat for the Empire. Near the end of WW2 the Japanese attempted to design a small bomb laden aircraft whose only purpose was kamikaze missions. However, the craft was a failure, partly because its range was inferior to that of other more conventional planes but also because it was produced at a far greater cost than even the Japanese felt necessary to spend on their kamikaze pilots. In Nazi Germany, many soldiers and government officials (including Adolf Hitler and many in his inner circle) killed themselves rather than surrender to Allied forces; Luftwaffe squadrons were formed to smash into American B-17s during daylight bombing missions, in order to delay the highly-probable Allied victory, although in this case, inspiration was primarily the Soviet and Polish taran ramming attacks, and death of the pilot was not a desired outcome. Whether such pilots were engaging in heroic, selfless actions or if immense social pressure motivated them is a matter of historical debate. The Japanese also built one-man "human torpedo" suicide submarines.

With a torn picture of his Führer beside his clenched fist, a dead general of the Volkssturm lies on the floor of city hall, Leipzig, Germany. He committed suicide rather than face U.S. Army troops who captured the city.However, suicide has been fairly common in warfare throughout history. Soldiers and civilians committed suicide to avoid capture and slavery (including the wave of German and Japanese suicides in the last days of World War II). Commanders committed suicide rather than accept defeat. Spies and officers have often committed suicide to avoid revealing secrets under interrogation and/or torture. Behavior that could be seen as suicidal occurred often in battle, for instance a soldier falling on a grenade to save his comrades. Other examples include soldiers under cannon fire at the Battle of Waterloo who took fatal hits rather than duck and place their comrades in harm's way.[verification needed] The Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War, Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg in the American Civil War, and the charge of the French cavalry at the Battle of Sedan in the Franco-Prussian War were assaults that continued even after it was obvious to participants that the attacks were unlikely to succeed, and would probably be fatal to most of the attackers. Japanese infantrymen usually fought to the last man, launched "banzai" suicide charges, and committed suicide during the Pacific island battles in World War II. At Saipan and Okinawa, civilians joined in the suicides. Suicidal attacks by pilots were common in the 20th century: the attack by U.S. torpedo planes at the Battle of Midway was very similar to kamikaze.
[edit] Ritual suicide
Ritual suicide is the act of suicide motivated by a religious, spiritual, or traditional ritual.
An extreme interpretation of Hindu custom historically practiced, mostly in the 2nd millennium, was self-immolation by a widow as an assurance that she will be with her husband for the next life. This, however, is extreme, and is looked down upon by other Hindus in most cases. Other rituals of self-immolation or self-starvation were used by Hindu, Jain and Buddhist monks for religious or philosophical purposes, or as a form of extreme non-violent protest. In China, some groups would practice suicide for similar reasons. In Japan, rituals of suicide like seppuku by men and jigai by women were practiced.
[edit] Dutiful suicide
Dutiful suicide is an act, or non-fatal attempt at the act, of fatal self-violence at one's own hands done in the belief that it will secure a greater good, rather than to escape harsh or impossible conditions. It can be voluntary, to relieve some dishonor or punishment, or imposed by threats of death or reprisals on one's family or reputation (a kind of murder by remote control). It can be culturally traditional or generally abhorred; it can be heavily ritualized as in seppuku or purely functional. Dutiful suicide can be distinguished from a kamikaze or suicide bomb attack, in which a fighter consumes his own life in delivering a weapon to the enemy. Perhaps the most famous example of dutiful suicide is a soldier in a foxhole throwing his body on a live grenade to save the lives of his comrades.
[edit] Examples
Disgraced Roman patricians were sometimes allowed to commit suicide to spare themselves a trial and penalties against their families. An example of this was Emperor Nero who reportedly committed forced suicide following a large fire that burned through much of Rome.[37]
Erwin Rommel, found to have foreknowledge of the German attempt on Hitler's life, was threatened with public trial, execution and reprisals on his family unless he killed himself, which he did.[citation needed]
[edit] Impact of suicide
It is estimated that each suicide in the United States leaves an average of six people intimately affected by the death, either as a spouse, parent, significant other, sibling, or child of the deceased person. These people are referred to as survivors.[38] Of course, this estimate does not represent the total number of people who may be affected by an individual suicide. For example, the suicide of a child may leave not only his/her immediate family to make sense of the act, but also his/her extended family, school and entire community.
As with any death, family and friends of a suicide victim feel grief associated with loss. However, suicide deaths leave behind a unique set of issues for the survivors. Suicide survivors are often overwhelmed with psychological trauma that vary depending on the factors comprising the event, including discovery of the body. The survivor's trauma can leave him/her feeling guilty, angry, remorseful, helpless, and confused. It can be especially difficult for survivors because many of their questions as to the victim's final decision are left unanswered, even if a suicide note is left behind (the "why" questions). Moreover, survivors often feel that they should have intervened in some way to prevent the suicide, even if the suicide comes as a surprise and there are no obvious warning signs. Along with this sense of regret and failure, there is sometimes relief if the survivor's relationship with the victim was difficult, strained, or otherwise complicated. Given this complex and conflicting set of emotions associated with a loved one's suicide, survivors usually find it difficult to discuss the death with others, even with those who have also faced the death of a loved one, but by some other means. These feelings cause survivors to feel isolated from their network of family and friends and often making them reluctant to form new relationships as well.[39]
Fortunately, "survivor support groups" can offer counseling and help bring many of the issues associated with suicide out into the open. They can also help survivors reach out to their own friends and family who may be feeling similarly and thus begin the healing process. In addition, counseling services and therapy can provide invaluable support to the bereaved. Some such groups can be found online, providing a forum for discussion amongst survivors of suicide.[40]
[edit] Economic impact
In the United States, deaths and injuries from suicidal behavior represent $25 billion each year in direct costs,[41] including health care services, funeral services, autopsies and investigations, and indirect costs like lost productivity.[42]
These costs may be counterbalanced by economic gains. Expenditure on those who would have continued living is reduced, including pensions, social security, health care services for those with brain disorders ("mentally ill"),[43] as well as other normal budgetary expenditure per head of living population.
[edit] Views on suicide
[edit] Medical
Main article: Suicide intervention
Modern medicine treats suicide as a mental health issue. Overwhelming or persistent suicidal thoughts are considered an emotional crisis. Mental health professionals advise that people who have expressed plans to kill themselves be encouraged to seek help. This is especially relevant if the means (weapons, drugs, or other methods) are available, or if the person has crafted a detailed plan for executing the suicide. Medical personnel and mental health professionals frequently receive special training to look for suicidal signs in those designated "as at risk" within that system. Individuals suffering from depression are considered a high-risk group for suicidal behavior. Suicide hotlines are widely available for people seeking help anonymously.[44]
In the United States, individuals who express the intent to harm themselves are automatically determined to lack the present mental capacity to refuse treatment, and can be transported to the emergency department against their will. An emergency physician will determine whether inpatient care at a mental health care facility is warranted. This is sometimes referred to as being "committed". A court hearing may be held to determine the individual's competence. In most states, a psychiatrist may hold the person for a specific time period without a judicial order. If the psychiatrist determines the person is a threat to himself or others, the person may be admitted involuntarily to a psychiatric treatment facility. This period is usually of three days duration. After this time the person must be discharged or appear in front of a judge. As in any judicial proceeding this person has a right to legal counsel. [45]
Switzerland has recently taken steps to legalize assisted suicide for the chronically mentally ill. The high court in Lausanne, in a 2006 ruling, granted an anonymous individual with longstanding psychiatric difficulties the right to end his own life. At least one leading American bioethicist, Jacob Appel of Brown University, has argued that the American medical community ought to condone suicide in certain individuals with mental illness.[46] Conservative writers, most notably Wesley J. Smith, have argued that this approach would likely lead to compulsory euthanasia for those with intractable mental disease.
[edit] Criminal
Main article: Legal views of suicide
In some jurisdictions, an act or incomplete act of suicide is considered to be a crime. More commonly, a surviving party member who assisted in the suicide attempt will face criminal charges.
In Brazil, if the help is directed to a minor, the penalty is applied in its double and not considered as homicide. In Italy and Canada, instigating another to suicide is also a criminal offense. In Singapore, assisting in the suicide of a mentally handicapped person is a capital offense. In India, abetting suicide of a minor or a mentally challenged person can result in a possible death penalty, otherwise a maximum 1 year prison term with a possible fine.[47]
In North Korea, suicide is considered treason against the party and is punishable by death.[citation needed] Due to Kim Il Sung's decree that the seed of class enemies should be destroyed to the third generation, families of persons who have committed suicide are sent to labor camps with life sentences.[citation needed]
A tantō knife prepared for seppukuIn Germany, the following laws apply to cases of suicide:[48]
Active euthanasia (killing on request) is prohibited by article 216 of the StGB (Strafgesetzbuch, German Criminal Code), punishable with six months to five years in jail
German law interprets suicide as an accident and anyone present during suicide may be prosecuted for failure to render aid in an emergency. A suicide legally becomes emergency when a suicidal person loses consciousness. Failure to render aid is punishable under article 323c of the StGB, with a maximum one year jail sentence.
Article 212 can be used sometimes against a person found guilty of persuading someone to commit suicide, with a charge of indirect manslaughter punishable by five to fifteen years in jail
Unlike other countries, helping a suicidal person to obtain the materials or medication needed to carry out the act is not usually viewed as a criminal offense
[edit] Cultural
Main article: Cultural views of suicide
In the Warring States Period and the Edo period of Japan, samurai who disgraced their honor chose to end their own lives by seppuku, a method in which the samurai takes a sword and slices into his abdomen, causing a fatal injury. The cut is usually performed diagonally from the top corner of the samurai's writing hand, and has long been considered an honorable form of death (even when done to punish dishonor). Though such a wound would be fatal, seppuku was not always technically suicide, as the samurai's assistant (the kaishaku) would usually stand by to cut short any suffering by quickly administering a fatal cut to the back of the neck (just short of decapitation), sometimes as soon as the first tiny incision into the abdomen was made. In today's society, suicide is also viewed as a cultural norm. Often suicide is portrayed in movies and music with such band names as Suicide Silence and Suicide Opera.
[edit] Religious
Main article: Religious views of suicide
In most forms of Christianity, suicide is considered a sin, based mainly on the writings of influential Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages, such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas; suicide was not considered a sin under the Byzantine Christian code of Justinian, for instance.[49][50]. The argument is based on the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" (made applicable under the New Covenant by Jesus in Matthew 19:18), as well as the idea that life is a gift given by God which should not be spurned, and that suicide is against the "natural order" and thus interferes with God's master plan for the world.[51][52] However, it is believed that mental illness or grave fear of suffering diminishes the responsibility of the one completing suicide.[53] Counter-arguments include the following: that the sixth commandment is more accurately translated as "thou shalt not murder", not necessarily applying to the self; that taking one's own life no more violates God's plan than does curing a disease; and that a number of suicides by followers of God are recorded in the Bible with no dire condemnation.[54]
Judaism focuses on the importance of valuing this life, and as such, suicide is tantamount to denying God's goodness in the world. Despite this, under extreme circumstances when there has seemed no choice but to either be killed or forced to betray their religion, Jews have committed individual suicide or mass suicide (see Masada, First French persecution of the Jews, and York Castle for examples) and as a grim reminder there is even a prayer in the Jewish liturgy for "when the knife is at the throat", for those dying "to sanctify God's Name". (See: Martyrdom). These acts have received mixed responses by Jewish authorities, regarded both as examples of heroic martyrdom, whilst others state that it was wrong for them to take their own lives in anticipation of martyrdom.[55]
Suicide is not allowed in the religion of Islam; however, martyring oneself for Allah (during combat) is not the same as completing suicide. Suicide by Muslim standards is traditionally seen as a sign of disbelief in God.[56] The use of suicide attacks is therefore a controversial one in Islam. It is practised by Islamic groups such as Hamas and Al-Qaeda in Iraq.
In Hinduism, suicide is frowned upon and is considered equally sinful as murdering another. Hindu Scriptures state that one who commits suicide will become part of the spirit world, wandering earth until the time one would have otherwise died, had one not committed suicide.[57] The ghost can feel hunger and thirst, but can not eat or drink.[citation needed]
[edit] Philosophical
Main article: Philosophical views of suicide
The tone or style of this article or section may not be appropriate for Wikipedia.
Specific concerns may be found on the talk page. See Wikipedia's guide to writing better articles for suggestions. (April 2008)
Some see suicide as a legitimate matter of personal choice and a human right (colloquially known as the right to die movement), and maintain that no one should be forced to suffer against their will, particularly from conditions such as incurable disease, mental illness, and old age that have no possibility of improvement. Proponents of this view reject the belief that suicide is always irrational, arguing instead that it can be a valid last resort for those enduring major pain or trauma. This perspective is most popular in continental Europe, where euthanasia and other such topics are commonly discussed in parliament, although it has a good deal of support.[58]
A narrower segment of this group considers suicide something between a grave but condonable choice in some circumstances and a sacrosanct right for anyone (even a young and healthy person) who believes they have rationally and conscientiously come to the decision to end their own lives. Notable supporters of this school of thought include German pessimist philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer,[59] and Scottish empiricist David Hume.[60] Adherents of this view often advocate the abrogation of statutes that restrict the liberties of people known to be suicidal, such as laws permitting their involuntary commitment to mental hospitals.

ReplyDeleteTo those now in its fold, Alcoholics Anonymous has made the difference between misery and sobriety, and often the difference between life and death. A.A. can, of course, mean just as much to uncounted alcoholics not yet reached.
Therefore, no society of men and women ever had a more urgent need for continuous effectiveness and permanent unity. We alcoholics see that we must work together and hang together, else most of us will finally die alone.
The “12 Traditions” of Alcoholics Anonymous are, we A.A.’s believe, the best answers that our experience has yet given to those ever-urgent questions, “How can A.A. best function?” and, “How can A.A. best stay whole and so survive?”
On the next page, A.A.’s “12 Traditions” are seen in their so-called “short form,” the form in general use today. This is a condensed version of the original “long form” A.A. Traditions as first printed in 1946. Because the “long form” is more explicit and of possible historic value, it is also reproduced.
The Twelve Traditions
One—Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity.
Two—For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
Three—The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.
Four—Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole.
Five—Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
Six—An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
Seven—Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
Eight—Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
Nine—A.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
Ten—Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
Eleven—Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.
Twelve—Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
The Twelve Traditions
(The Long Form)
Our A.A. experience has taught us that:
1.—Each member of Alcoholics Anonymous is but a small part of a great whole. A.A. must continue to live or most of us will surely die. Hence our common welfare comes first. But individual welfare follows close afterward.
2.—For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience.
3.—Our membership ought to include all who suffer from alcoholism. Hence we may refuse none who wish to recover. Nor ought A.A. membership ever depend upon money or conformity. Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an A.A. group, provided that, as a group, they have no other
affiliation.
4.—With respect to its own affairs, each A.A. group should be responsible to no other authority than its own conscience. But when its plans concern the welfare of neighboring groups also, those groups ought to be consulted. And no group, regional committee, or individual should ever take any action that might greatly affect A.A. as a whole without conferring with the trustees of the General Service Board. On such issues our common welfare is paramount.
5.—Each Alcoholics Anonymous group ought to be a spiritual entity having but one primary purpose—that of carrying its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
6.—Problems of money, property, and authority may easily divert us from our primary spiritual aim. We think, therefore, that any considerable property of genuine use to A.A. should be separately incorporated and managed, thus dividing the material from the spiritual. An A.A. group, as such, should never go into business. Secondary aids to A.A., such as clubs or hospitals which require much property or administration, ought to be incorporated and so set apart that, if necessary, they can be freely discarded by the groups. Hence such facilities ought not to use the A.A. name. Their management should be the sole responsibility of those people who financially support them. For clubs, A.A. managers are usually preferred. But hospitals, as well as other places of recuperation, ought to be well outside A.A.—and medically supervised. While an A.A. group may cooperate with anyone, such cooperation ought never go so far as affiliation or endorsement, actual or implied. An A.A. group can bind itself to no one.
7.—The A.A. groups themselves ought to be fully supported by the voluntary contributions of their own mem-
bers. We think that each group should soon achieve this ideal; that any public solicitation of funds using the name of Alcoholics Anonymous is highly dangerous, whether by groups, clubs, hospitals, or other outside agencies; that acceptance of large gifts from any source, or of contributions carrying any obligation whatever, is unwise. Then too, we view with much concern those A.A. treasuries which continue, beyond prudent reserves, to accumulate funds for no stated A.A. purpose. Experience has often warned us that nothing can so surely destroy our spiritual heritage as futile disputes over property, money, and authority.
8.—Alcoholics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional. We define professionalism as the occupation of counseling alcoholics for fees or hire. But we may employ alcoholics where they are going to perform those services for which we might otherwise have to engage nonalcoholics. Such special services may be well recompensed. But our usual A.A. “12 Step” work is never to be paid for.
9.—Each A.A. group needs the least possible organization. Rotating leadership is the best. The small group may elect its secretary, the large group its rotating committee, and the groups of a large metropolitan area their central or intergroup committee, which often employs a full-time secretary. The trustees of the General Service Board are, in effect, our A.A. General Service Committee. They are the custodians of our A.A. Tradition and the receivers of voluntary A.A. contributions by which we maintain our A.A. General Service Office at New York. They are authorized by the groups to handle our over-all public relations and they guarantee the integrity of our principal newspaper, the A.A. Grapevine. All such representatives are to be guided in the spirit of service, for true leaders in A.A. are but trusted and experienced servants of the whole. They derive no real authority from their titles; they do not govern. Universal respect is the key to their usefulness.
10.—No A.A. group or member should ever, in such a way as to implicate A.A., express any opinion on outside controversial issues—particularly those of politics, alcohol reform, or sectarian religion. The Alcoholics Anonymous groups oppose no one. Concerning such matters they can express no views whatever.
11.—Our relations with the general public should be characterized by personal anonymity. We think A.A. ought to avoid sensational advertising. Our names and pictures as A.A. members ought not be broadcast, filmed, or publicly printed. Our public relations should be guided by the principle of attraction rather than promotion. There is never need to praise ourselves. We feel it better to let our friends recommend us.
12.—And finally, we of Alcoholics Anonymous believe that the principle of anonymity has an immense spiritual significance. It reminds us that we are to place principles before personalities; that we are actually to practice a genuine humility. This to the end that our great blessings may never spoil us; that we shall forever live in thankful contemplation of Him who presides over us all.

Please Notice that religion and sex are the two things being posted in an attempt to stop any conversation about Old Hyde Park and its present game.
ReplyDeleteThese are the two things that appear in John's book the most. It is written around the opinion that John could not take the constant conflict that the church and his "needs" seemed to provide him. Rather than look at the psychological need for conflict that he has encompassed with his personality he left the church talking about their hypocrisy. It is an interesting theme for a book but he definite,y needs some help from a published author or at the least a high school English teacher. His anger is a result of his inability to function without feeling a lot of guilt. He has now added the inability to write his book to the long list of things that he can not accomplish except with his mouth talking it into existence.

I see the freak show that is Lydia and Howard Carson continues.
ReplyDeleteSeek help. Please.
The narcissistic hog who lives in a dumpy, dirty apartment with his stinky dog and that perpetual bag of potato chips next to him, needs to lay off John. Oh yeah, the book is finished and he'll get it published long before Pigman's little "business-Data-something or other" ever gets off the ground. John's also met with some published authors who have given him excellent resources. Pigman's psychobabble is interesting but inaccurate. Of course Pigman is a pediphile who keeps himself fat and unattractive so he won't harm any more young boys. Stay out of John's business and he may stay out of yours...

John,
ReplyDeleteI am the eye in the sky!
You started the fire in your home,
which weakened the soul of The IMPORTANT person around you. It then resulted in death.
Glen,
ReplyDeleteI am the eye in the sky!
You oh, great fat one, destroyed your business and your life by preying on underage youth. There was victim after victim until one had enough and extorted money out of you. It weakened the soul of the IMPORTANT person around you, yourself. It then resulted in
morbid obesity and death.
Yep..Glen Powell. Howard is too stupid to post a phrase like that. How's your mangy dog, Glen? Shall we discuss your new business and your former business partner? The falling out you two had? She's afraid of a certain attorney and what he might do to her child. We can spill all that out too. Let's get down to it. You've been in on this little attack on John from the beginning. "Mr. Tipster" Best you leave the game or play for keeps!

ReplyDeletethese guys real put on for the city tony
What has happened to Joe the plumber.
ReplyDeleteHe moved in with Howard and Lydia Carson. They already have a housekeeper so why not a maintenance man too?
ReplyDeleteHELP ME RHONDA, HELP, HELP ME RHONDA, HELP ME RHONDA YA, GET HIM OUT OF MY HEART. DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ReplyDeleteJohn, are you going to have your New Year Eve's Party at your house this year?
ReplyDeleteIf you do count me in.
John's party? I'm going. but Howard, Shouldn't you stay home and admire your pretty stained glass windows?
ReplyDeleteWhere is JOHN? Here John Here John
ReplyDeleteJohn has probably left the country. I would too if I had to live in the same neighborhood as Howard and Lydia Carson and the rest of the Olde Hyde Park nutjobs. You guys are a real hoot and your neighborhood is pure shit. Broadway to Main needs to be torn down and redeveloped. That would solve all the problems in midtown. Its not like the REAL Hyde Park or Valentine areas. It's just a bunch of crap houses and apartments you can find similar buildings anywhere in the city. Hey developers, do KC a favor and flatten Olde Hyde Park.
ReplyDeleteArguing over the internet is like running a race in the Special Olympics...you may win but you're still retarded!
ReplyDeleteWow! I guess I left in the nick of time! I will always have fond memories of everyone in Old Hyde Park: Crime Watch; gluing the pay phones; passing out flyers (thanks, Lydia); the meetings and the wonderful food. It is so sad to me to see all of this infighting, and especially in such a public venue.
