Would
you wear a pair of shoes two sizes too
small or too large? Well this is
exactly what men are up for when they
buy condoms.
Ansell, the big condom
manufacturer has started putting the size
of the condom on the back of their
cardboard packets in small hard to read
print but not on the foil containing the
condom. Most other brands don’t have the
size stated either.
The size of a condom is
the measurement of the radius of the
collar, that’s the hard bit of rubber
around the opening. Sizes range from about
52mm to 58mm and should give a snug fit.If
a condom is too small it will pinch and
feel uncomfortable and will be difficult
to put on, too large and it will slide
off.
The length of condoms is
not measured because they stretch; just
try blowing one up.They
make fantastic balloons. The hard rubber
ring around the opening makes the condom
stay on.
I can’t understand why
the size of the condom is not printed in
large clear print on the foil. After
trying various brands of non-fitting
condoms many give up and that’s just not
good for public health.
Carlo Le Cat has seen
guys at sex parties reach for a condom and
throw it away because they either couldn’t
tear open the foil or the condom was too
small, and after a few attempts giving up
on them and joining in the action. The
manufacturers could do a better labeling
job.
Free Condom
Music Drive
Sarah
Whyte/Sydney Morning Herald
December 11, 2011
There
are certainties at music festivals -
music, lengthy queues and drug searches
but free condoms courtesy of the NSW
Ministry of Health?
Under the New
South Wales Poisons and Therapeutics Goods
Act, the NSW government says it will give
festival goers over the age of 18 a free
promotional pack of condoms at five
festivals.
The
Government Gazette said the department's Dr
Kerry Chant decreed that it would be
promoting safe sex at Field Day on New
Year's Day, Big Day Out on Australia Day,
the Mardi Gras Festival, which starts in
February, the Future Music Festival in March
and at last week's Sydney Telstra 500 at
Sydney Olympic Park.
''Sexually
transmitted infections can lead to serious
health consequences and condoms are an
effective means of preventing infections,''
a departmental spokeswoman said.
''We have
previously supported health promotion
activities at festivals as part of our
efforts to promote safe sex."
In May, safe
sex advocates were outraged when the
organisers of the largest annual music event
in Darwin, Bass In The Grass, banned free
condoms.
During the 2000 Sydney Olympics,
health officials distributed 70,000 free
condoms to visiting athletes, but later
said they were ''20,000 short''.
CASINOS NOT SEXY AT ALL
By Tony Max
13th
November 2011
NSW Gaming Minister
George Souris told the press he has
ordered the Gaming and Liquor Authority to
examine rumours that sex workers are
active at the Star Casino in Sydney.
The Star is up for
review of its gaming license following
extensive renovations finished in October
and Sydney’s
sex workers have reportedly already popped
in to pick up trade.
The entrance and gaming
floors are covered by CCTV watching every
players move and the movement of customers
through the venue. People acting
suspiciously are recorded and reports made
about their activities. They are so
paranoid about sex that any affection
shown between players is regarded as
potential prostitution that could affect
their license.
Security video staff
record and report the number plates of
cars dropping off young women at the
casino deeming the drivers of those cars
to be “pimps” according to the Fairfax
Press.This has the Gaming Authority and
minister posturing about Prostitution at
the Star and getting the management
defensive about its ability to ban sex
workers from the venue. Both the NSW
government and Star management have made
casinos a no go area for sex workers as
stipulated in the gaming act.
Sex work is legal in NSW
but living off the earnings of a sex
worker is not. That is the problem for the
Casino and government. They think that
women being dropped off at the Star are
being exploited by ‘pimps’. People in the
know have told Sexyoz that Sydney
sex workers routinely use drivers they can
trust to drop them at venues, not taxis
because they are unsafe. There have been
many instances of taxi drivers harassing
sex workers.
The car drivers are not pimps but guys
providing safe transport for the girls at
a rate usually lower than a taxi fare.The
drivers drop off the girls and pick them
up so they don’t have to stand about on
the street.
SPEEDO
GETS STROPY WITH SPEEDO-GUY
By
Tony Max
September 22, 2011
The company
Speedo claims that bisexual Speedo
guy is tarnishing their golden image
of scantily clad backsides and
budgie hugging swim wear.
The
taut, athletic bodies that Speedo
wants to be associated with, doesn’t
fit with Speedo guy’s web sites,
according to press reports.
And
then there are the naughty bits that
Speedo wants nothing to do with.
That’s the point, Speedos cover the
budgies but let them bulge giving us
a glimpse of what might be. Speedo
yesterday set about dissociating
itself from those bodies, found on
sexy swimwear websites registered to
central coast man Dave Evans,
accusing him of trademark
infringement. But it’s really all
about the budgies getting out.
Speedo Guy is really Speedo Gay and
this looks to me like a case of
homophobia…
In
the Federal Court yesterday, the Netherlands
and British registered SPEEDO Holdings
BV
and SPEEDO International Ltd
described the efforts their lawyers
had taken to serve legal demands on
Aussie Speedo gay Dave a self
described lover of Speedos all his
life and an admirer of men who wear
the brand.
What
was at stake, according to Speedo’s
legal team is the ''substantial and
valuable reputation and goodwill
associated with the name and
trademark SPEEDO''.
The
brand has sold throughout the world
after being launched in 1928 and has
featured at every Olympic Games
since the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.
The brand has been worn by a many
medal winning athletes. Speedo
has sponsored many well-known
athletes and the word speedo has
entered the language to mean budgie
snuggling swimming attire. But their
reputation as swim wear giants could
be tarnished by this legal action
giving the company a mean homophobic
reputation.
According
to Speedo Ltd, Speedo
Guy has insulted their brand by
showing the budgies popping out of
their swimwear like rock stars at a
concert. Speedo have revealed their
true intention to be nothing more
than prudes who think the human
budgie is too naughty to be
associated with them and want to
close down Dave’s web sites.
According
to the Sydney Morning Herald, the
company wants the court to restrain
Mr Evans (Speedo Guy), or anyone
acting on his behalf, from
registering domain names that
contain the word Speedo, and that he
transfer his existing domains to the
company. It is also seeking an
unspecified amount of damages under
both consumer law dealing with
misleading and deceptive conduct,
and the Trade Marks Act.
I
guess any company has the right to
protect its trade names but in this
case it looks like overkill
especially since the web sites in
question are promoting the Speedo
brand. Let’s face it the blokes in
these web sites look terrific in
their speedos.
Anyway judge
for yourself if Speedo guy
deserves to be shut down:

EROTIC
ASPHYSIATION AINT SEXY
By Tony Max
August 28, 2011
Strangulation
for sexual pleasure is a completely stupid
behaviour but there are plenty of people
out there doing it. It’s stupid
because every time blood flow is reduced
to the brain, brain cells die.
The side
effects of this kind of ‘pleasure’ include
panic attacks, dizzy spells, loss of
concentration, depression, memory loss and
other nasty symptoms as a result of the
brain being injured by anoxia – lack of
oxygen.
There have
been some notable cases of death of auto
asphyxiation includingMichael
Hutchence the INXS singer, though his
death was recorded as suicide.
Erotic solo
sex games accidentally kill about six
Australians every year. But the figure is
probably much higher than this.
Research from
the University of Adelaide shows that over
a seven-year period 42 people were
recorded as dying by getting off from self
strangulation.
Some experts
believe the actual number of auto-erotic
fatalities could be much higher because
many of the deaths are attributed to
suicide. Relatives sometimes cover up auto
erotic asphyxiation preferring the suicide
label for the death of a family member.
The BDSM
community have a rule and it's this: SAFE,
SANE AND CONSENSUAL.
Cutting off
your own or your sex partner’s airway is
neither safe or sane.
If you
practice this stupid game get over it,
move on and let your brain recover.
PISSOIRS FOR SYDNEY AT LAST
By Tony max 7th April 2011
Street
urinals are coming to Sydney to help
stop blokes pissing in the street and
about time too. Sydney is well
known for its lack of toilets.
The City of Sydney is to trial
temporary public urinals on Friday and
Saturday nights starting on April 15th
in Kings Cross and Oxford Street to reduce
the city's clean-up expenditure costing
ratepayers more than $7 million a year.
The cities of London and Amsterdam
have successfully used the urinals to cope
with late night revellers caught short and
Paris is famous for its pissotieres.I remember my
first trip to Paris as a teenager and seeing
the pissoires, as we called
them, we just had to have a pee in one.
According to the manufacturer of
the urinal used in Amsterdam 30 of the units
put out each Friday night collect over
10,000 litres of urine by Sunday morning.
Four blokes at a time at a time can piss and
it has a 450-litre holding tank, enough for
about 1500 pees.
The outdoor urinals will be
installed at night and removed each Saturday
and Sunday morning in Fitzroy Gardens,
Springfield Mall and Roslyn Plaza in Kings
Cross, and Oxford Square on the corner of
Oxford and Riley streets for the duration of
the trial.
A spokeswoman for the council said
charges for offensive conduct - including
public urination - in the inner city had
increased by 30 per cent in the past two
years. Pissing is of course a natural and
normal bodily function and the failure of
councils to provide toilets is a disgrace.
People should not be penalised for pissing
when they need to.
This
is another example of Australian
authorities needlessly cashing in on the
public.
Female Porn
Addicts?
By Maureen
Matthews
April
2ND2011
Solo sex ...
is female consumption of pornography still a
taboo?
Q I'm 32, female and
in a great relationship. We enjoy sex, are
adventurous and satisfy each other's needs.
But I think I'm addicted to porn. I have no
issue with my boyfriend watching it, and
sometimes we'll watch it together, but now
I'm accessing porn every time I get a moment
to myself. I don't orgasm easily during sex
but find it fun and fulfilling. However,
when I watch porn (often full-on videos of
girl/girl and quite degrading hetero
images), I can orgasm very easily. Females
watching porn is still a taboo. Is there a
problem with it?
A Opinions about the
use of pornography range from "It's all bad"
to "It's healthy", with feminist, moral,
medical and social theories abounding.
Whether or not "sex addiction" even exists
(outside of a tiny group of sex offenders)
is still a matter for debate. Certainly,
women are accessing porn more and more,
especially as they can look at it in
private, and I'm not sure that it is still
taboo.
Melbourne sex therapist Lynda Carlyle
says that your ease of orgasm while watching
porn (compared with during sex) is not
uncommon. When you watch porn alone you can
stimulate yourself how you want, in whatever
position you want, and in maximum comfort.
You can focus on the desired sensations and
on visual stimuli. You can watch the
material that gets you off without worrying
about your partner's interests, or what he
might think about what you enjoy.
Self-pleasuring is rarely seen as
"cheating", or detracting from the core
relationship, and the absence of guilt,
shame and self-consciousness leads to
easier, more frequent orgasms.
Often the more taboo something seems,
the more sexually arousing it is, and most
people slip into an objectifying frame of
mind when viewing porn, not thinking about
the actors as people to be considered.
During partner sex there is often not much
explicit verbal communication. There can be
"boring" periods because you don't say what
you want when you want it. Being considerate
of your partner's pleasure can be
distracting from your own, or a partner may
not quite "hit the spot" with stimulation,
but you don't want to appear critical.
Sometimes the urge to view porn
increases for some people as they get into a
feedback-loop of pleasure, and it can become
obsessive. That's where self-discipline
comes in. Just as with junk food, alcohol,
gambling or any other activity, when you
feel your level of use is interfering with
your life and relationships, take
responsibility and moderate your use to what
you find is reasonable. If you find this
difficult, don't relinquish responsibility
by labelling yourself an addict; rather,
seek professional help.

KESHA'S IN TOWN By Tony
Max 14 March 2011
Californian music composer and
sexee entertainer Kesha is doing a tour in
Australia and drawing loud tut-tut sounds
from the Aussie press much like press
criticism of rock performers of the
1960’s.
Kesha is just tooo sexy for the staid
Aussie press who are too nice to know about
swearing and sexual innuendo exhibited in
the show with a large penis costume and
gyrations you only see at the striptease or
read about in Canterbury Tales.
Kasha is an American and like
Italians American women like to show their
arses even if they are sometimes less than
model like in places other than the beach.
What a better place to shake your
arse, do pagan dancing and wank off with a
microphone than on stage in front of your
fans?
The
fans
loved
her,
the
press
didn’t. She must be good.
THE BIG PARADE
As Mardi Gras
marchers made a strong stand on getting
government recognition of same-sex
marriage last night numerous grooms
kissing grooms and brides kissing brides
marched along Oxford Street in defiance at
the inequality of the marriage laws.
The parade theme, Say Something,
where wedding
floats showed opposition to the law that gay
marriages are NOT recognised stood out in
Australia’s biggest parade of the year.
Most Australians (68%) believe
that equality in marriage should be
available for all Australians regardless of
gender.Gay and
lesbian Australians should be treated
equally by the law and the Prime Minister is
called upon to end discrimination in the
marriage act.
Same-sex marriage is legal in
countries like Iceland, South Africa,
Sweden, England and Spain. To name a few.
Up to 300,000 spectators from
Australia and overseas are expected to
have turned out for the celebrations,
which snaked up Oxford Street and into
Flinders Street before finishing at Moore
Park.
Dr Droop In Trouble
January 30, 2011
The Australia
Postman is delivering junk mail for a
company in trouble over its claims to cure
impotence while also delivering junk mail
about the impotence causing drug ethanol
disguised as wine and beer.
The small black envelopes, marked
''Adults Only'', are being delivered during
school holidays on behalf of the erection
company Advanced Medical Institute. Whilst
the glossy ethanol drug ads have no covering
or warnings.
The black envelopes contain a
brochure about men’s sex problems, including
premature ejaculation and impotence, and
carry phrases like ''Rev up your sex drive
at any age''. Apparently it doesn’t say stop
drinking.
AMI is in voluntary administration
and under investigation by the Australian
Competition and Consumer Commission about
claims it makes to promote its treatments.
It has already been criticised by
prudes and ethanol users for its ''Longer
Lasting Sex'' advertisements on roadside
hoardings and on radio.
the Australia Postman says it does
not know the details of the material he
delivers because he is not privy to the
contents of black envelopes but he will
investigate them if a complaint is made.One complaint was
recently received but the material was
legal. There is nothing he can do about the
impotence causing drug ethanol being
advertised through the post because that is
legal too.
AMI's controversial owner, Jacov
Vaisman, nicknamed Dr Droop, has had a long
and colourful history with the Australian
Competition and Consumer Commission.
Tomorrow the ACCC watchdog begins
its latest action against Mr Vaisman, his
company and two of AMI's doctors, charging
that they had engaged in 'unconscionable
conduct'.
That conduct was AMI's practice of
signing up blokes to lengthy treatment that
costs thousands of dollars but failing to
tell them that they could only get their
money back after they tried all AMI's
products, including penile injections.
In 2004, the watchdog successfully
prosecuted AMI for engaging in deceptive and
misleading behaviour when it hired Ian
Turpie to say that his impotence had been
cured by AMI's nasal spray. The former
game-show host was forced to admit his
claims were false.”
When ACCC officers charged into Mr
Vaisman's office in Sydney early last year
they discovered Mr Vaisman's training
manuals, which instructed sales staff in the
best methods to sell to clients.
'AMI patients are mostly fairly
insecure individuals' who would be likely to
have 'quite low self-esteem', some of the
documents said. It is not known how much
ethanol clients consumed before starting
treatment to get their erections back.
In its latest row with AMI and Mr
Vaisman, the ACCC is seeking to ban him from
having anything to do with AMI, or similar
companies, for seven years.
Sexyoz Doctor
recommends this treatment for impotence,
premature ejaculation and to increase sperm
count:
Stop smokin' and boozing. Eat only
fresh foods - no trans fat. Do Yoga
incuding for the penis. Boing!
Smart Phones Dumbed Down For Indonesia
January 22, 2011
BlackBerry
smartphone service providers in Australia’s
neighbour, Indonesia,have
been forced to weed out sexually explicit
material from their networks after the
Indonesian government gave Blackberry an
ultimatum to introduce sex filters or be
banned from selling the
phones. Blackberry
caved in to the demands but had been holding
out against censorship.
The filter is
believed to be a world first for BlackBerry
and comes as Indonesian authorities struggle
with people using sexually explicit
material, much of it shared via mobile
phones.
The filter is
part of a broader crackdown on porn in
Indonesia which has the world's largest
Muslim population but is a secular country
known for its moderate interpretation of
religion.
The government
says its efforts to ban pornography is
needed to protect youth but critics deride
it as arbitrary, highly politicised
interference and a worrying indication of
the growing influence of neurotic Islamists
who hate sex.
A two-year prison
term was imposed just last year on the
editor of Playboy magazine, a
local toned-down version of the glossy which
featured relatively modest photos of women
in lingerie.
The pop singer
Ariel, is also being prosecuted and could
face a long prison term after homemade
videos of his love-making were stolen from
his laptop and widely distributed via
smartphones.
Pushing
censorship is the conservative Communication
Minister, Tifatul Sembiring, a senior figure
in the Islamist Prosperous Justice Party.
''Tifatul Sembiring thanks God that the
pornography content filtering process
carried out by RIM on its BlackBerry service
has started successfully,'' a
press release posted on the ministry's
website on Thursday.
Mr Sembiring
attracted media attention last year when he
was freaked out having to shake hands with
Michelle Obama.
A spokesman for
Mr Sembiring said the sex filter would not
prevent BlackBerry users accessing
pornography. Technically it cannot filter
all porn sites otherwise it would disrupt
the Internet.
BlackBerry users
will still be able to share sexy photos and
videos via email and through social networks
on the Internet. Indonesians are the second
biggest users of Facebook in the world, with
more than 32 million members. Twitter is
also popular.
The prominent
Indonesian feminist Julia Suryakusuma
described the porn crackdown as ''moral
panic'' and a ''policy of distraction'' at a
time when there is seething public anger
about entrenched corruption.
''How can you regulate or legislate against
desire?'' she asked. ''Tifatul is one of
those people in the government who is making
a mockery of governance in Indonesia.''
