ANIMAL PASSION IN THE CITY OF TRIBES
If you were advised to ‘get out and meet people’, chances are you’d head to a pub, club or an evening class. Following this advice, Thomas McCarney booked into a hotel room in Galway city centre and brought along a donkey for company. McCarney apparently told the hotel receptionist that the donkey was a family pet and a kind of ‘super rabbit’. During the night, the donkey ran riot in the hallways, forcing staff to call the Gardai for assistance. When the Gardai arrived they found McCarney dressed in latex and wearing a pair of handcuffs, the keys to which the donkey had swallowed. McCarney was later charged with cruelty to animals and lewd behaviour and was fined €2000. According to his solicitor, McCarney has been going through a difficult time since the breakdown of his marriage and his counsellor had advised him to meet new people and do ‘interesting things’. Interesting, indeed.

This week's top sex tip: Slip into something more comfortable - using masturbation sleeves
For those of you who don’t know them, a masturbation sleeve is a long tube of either jelly or silicone used for masturbation. Single men are their most frequent users, but there’s no reason why they can’t be used by a couple.
Start by licking and teasing to get your partner aroused before putting on the sleeve. If neither of you have used one before, it might be a good idea to let him do this. Lube him up well or the sleeve may chaff. Once he’s inside, it’s just like giving him a hand job. Essentially you do everything you’d normally do in this situation, but with this extra addition.
Once you get used to the sleeve’s motions you can use it with greater pressure and be more daring – but it’s best to start slowly until you are sure what you’re doing. Not too slowly though! And remember, just because you are using a toy, that’s no excuse to ignore his balls, ass and thighs.
There are a variety of sleeves out there – plain, textured and some may be longer than others. Log on to the web and check out Orgasm Army or We Review Sex Toys, to have a look at what’s available. A word of caution to blokes who’ve never used a toy before – sometimes you need to try a few before you find the one that’s right for you. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. It’ll be worth it!
