Right now, Healthy and Active is giving out free standard shipping (in the US and Canada) for all purchases that exceed $69 dollars. I always found it so funny that we use 69 as a target number, but I’m sure it’s a number that you’ll remember easy. 1 partner plus 1 partner = 69, haha.
Anyhow, the banner is more about what you want to have for dessert, but we all know what’s being implied here. Imagine taking some chocolate and placing it over your partner’s body. Then licking it off while they moan and sigh and grab their hand on the headboard. Imagine creating a chocolate penis? YES, a chocolate penis. Gives new meaning to POUND CAKE, doesn’t it? There are plenty of ways you could celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving tradition without being traditional.
So go for it, what would you like to eat!? What would YOU like to see on your dinner table?

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?

How’s that for alliteration, eh?
While I know it might be too early in some circles to be discussing gifts (especially with this economy), I wanted to focus more on the gag gift aspect of life. Even though our economy is in the situation it’s in, there’s nothing like good laughter to cure whatever is ailing you. Having a good laugh with friends can help you, at least temporarily, forget whatever problems you’re facing and enjoy those few moments.
Which leads me to our gag gifts (novelties).
We’re actually going to be growing our novelties area over the next few weeks with new items to turn any party into an especially fun time for all. Right now, though there are plenty of items for you to choose from: Try the stripper pole (yes, stripper pole) or get an inflatable doll.
Oh, and leave me a story in the comments about the craziest gift you’ve ever received. I’m always interested to hear about some of the more, er, interesting things someone has handed you.

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?
