Halloween is hands-down my favorite holiday, and I try to find every reason in the book to celebrate it. I’ll be dressing up in a saucy little cop costume (after all, Halloween is every good girl’s day to dress as sexy as she’d like), handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, covering my apartment in spiderwebs and ghostly decor, and of course hosting the most raucous costume party I’ve been to in years.
So, I love Halloween. And I love sex. Ah, alas, how to combine the two?
Easy. There’s a reason why people have sex in public: the thrill and fear of getting caught. Having sex in spooky places is a spicy little way to get in that scary Halloween spirit. I racked my brain for some spots I’d be afraid (but oh so willing!) to have sex in, let me know if you have more. But for real, be careful in some of these spots, they really can be scary!
10. In a graveyard at midnight
Doing anything in a graveyard at night is frightening, and the pleasure of hot sex combined with tombstones all around you lays quite the scary scene. Who knows who might come out of the foggy darkness, or who might “come”?
9. Outside your local abandoned, rumored-to-be-haunted house
Every town has that old, boarded house that you just know spirits lurk inside. For safety reasons, I’d stay outside it - you don’t want your thrusting to cause the floor to fall in (though when I have sex, I’m always afraid of that for some reason…). Bring a blanket and go for it.
8. A small tent in the dark woods at night
Having sex in a tent is hot, hot, hot, but in the middle of the woods at night, where every sound is amplified 100 times…petrifying.
7. On a fake-haunted-house ride
Most amusement parks have those ride-through haunted houses that make you want to laugh, more than scream. So add some extra thrill and have a quickie in the car as you’re going through the ride.
6. Bathroom stall at a highway rest area
First: See the movie Rest Stop. Second: Find a mostly empty rest area at night, have sex. Third: Be very, very creeped out by those loud breathing sounds outside the bathroom door.
5. Lonely cabin in the woods
The brochure made those cabins in the woods look absolutely beautiful, with the sun streaming through the windows and the autumn leaves on the ground, right? Well, wait til nighttime comes, and your cabin is bathed in darkness and wild animals are howling. You’ll just have to stay very close…very, very close…
4. In a car on the side of a country road
You’ve probably had sex in a car before, but what about on the side of a country road, where there’s more deer than people? There will be no one around…or will there be?
3. On a rowboat in the middle of the lake, at dusk
Think dusk isn’t scary enough? Try being in the middle of a lake, on a rowboat, as the foggy mist starts to rise. Then we’ll talk.
2. With a clown
One word: Horrifying.
1. In a room full of porcelain dolls
Imagine all those vacant eyes staring at you as you get it on. Oh wait, did that one just blink?

One of the great things about online shopping is being able to hear from others about the pluses and minuses of a certain product. You can be out with a few friends shopping in a mall and get their opinion, but the people who leave reviews on the products in an online store are people across the country.
I invite you to leave a comment about your favorite product. Even if it wasn’t fully up to your expectations, let us know. Not every product is going to work for everyone. That’s the nature of being a society of individuals: We’re all gonna have our own taste, style and flavor.
And if you land on product pages with reviews, read them, scope them, check out what others are saying about that particular product. There are more and more of us (myself included) who use that information in deciding if we want to try a product or not. So go ahead, get your Ebert and Roeper on and put those reviews out there.

Do you remember back in the school when you saw a guy get beat up by a girl? Do you remember when his friends would laugh at him. Apparently, getting dominated by a girl wasn’t looked upon too favorably in social circles. Now, it’s probably those same guys who have a one-a-week encounter with Dominatrix [insert name here].
When I started working here a few years ago, I became fascinated with the appeal of light bondage — and to an extent role play, in general. Men, who spend 40 hours a week (maybe more) being corporate and managerial; who are giving out the orders and making sure that their team(s) run smoothly, could find themselves for a couple of hours on the weekends, taking orders and being dominated by a woman (be it their wife, girlfriend or hired dominatrix).
Today, I’m still fascinated with the idea of light bondage. In talking to some of my friends who regularly engage in the practice, I’m sure their sick of me asking every 5th question “What’s the appeal for you?”. Of course, everyone has their own reasons for enjoying light bondage and I’ll probably never get one generic answer, but I still find the different reasons that people use to be interesting: They’ve said anything from “I enjoy letting my partner have all of the power” to “I’m spend a majority of my life giving the rules, and sometimes I just want to receiving the rules” to “It’s the best way for me to reach an orgasm”. All fascinating thoughts.
So I wanted to pose the question to the readers: Do you engage in light bondage play (or even role play)? If you don’t what makes you hesitant to try it? If you do, what ultimately put you in the realm to try it and what kept you there?

There’s an article posted over at the MSNBC website that tells about InSPOT. InSPOT is a company that sends out “greeting cards” to your former sexual partners asking them to be tested for any sexually transmitted disease. Should you find out that you have any STDs you can use this service to warn and alert your former partners.
I can honestly see both sides of this, but I want to ask what you all think of such a practice. Would you prefer that people handle it face to face or is sending a card an acceptable practice?

Ok, I want your opinion(s) about Healthy and Active. What do you think of the colors, the layout, the design. Feel free to go ahead and pick it apart. The store can only get better the more we know about what YOU feel about it. The goal of any good business is to create an environment that’s inviting, exciting and enticing for customers.
So in essence “Does this store make our butt look big?”
