Gambling on Gigolos
Hot, fit, young Irish lads looking to earn some money in the US, might consider joining up with former “Hollywood madam" Heidi Fleiss. Fleiss is set to open an exclusive brothel for women in the state of Nevada and is seeking applications from would-be gigolos for the “Heidi Stud Farm”. Only the best need apply as love doesn’t come cheap and Fleiss plans to offer male prostitutes for around $250 an hour. According to Fleiss her service will be perfect for career women who find it difficult to meet suitable sexual partners.
Sniffing your way to sexual ecstasy
Scientists in America have invented an inhaler to cure low libido in both men and women. Researchers say that the drug, PT-141, acts on the mind, and that both male and female test subjects reported a very strong desire to have sex during the clinical trials. Final trials of the drug are underway and if it gets approval PT-141 should be available within three years.
Love Inn at the Summit
Delegates at the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit in Busan, South Korea, may have been surprised by some of the amenities offered by their hotels. While world leaders were snug in five star accommodations, the lack of hotel rooms in the city meant that low-level representatives were housed in the city’s ‘love motels’. ‘Love motels’ are popular across Asia and are designed for short-term amorous encounters, often featuring round beds, themed rooms, mirrored ceilings and erotic art.

It’s Santa Jim, but not as we know him.
If you enjoyed Billy Bob Thornton as Bad Santa, perhaps Santa misbehaving with Mrs Claus and the elves is just what you’re after in a Christmas card. See www2.fanofunny.com/sex/santasex. Just don’t send one to your mother. However, if you are of a more cerebral inclination, Christmas-themed erotic stories may be just the thing to get you into the holiday spirit.

Sexton’s Miscellany
Busted
Half the world’s population has breasts and they fascinate most of the other half. The next time you catch someone talking to your chest, or you get caught doing so, here are some interesting breast facts with which to bamboozle him – or her.
Big breasts were not always universally popular. The Chinese traditionally prefer lesser-endowed women as did Europeans in the early Middle Ages.
The modern bra is a French invention. Strangely enough, brassiere means ‘arm protector’.
Submitting to the surgeon’s knife may seem extreme until you consider some of the ways in which our ancestors went about increasing what nature had provided. Abyssinian women would sting their breasts with bees and the Bagandi women of central Africa would hang weights on their breast to increase their length. Ouch.
There is nothing new under the sun. Nipple rings were popular in the late Victorian era and some women suspended chains between the rings.
In Victorian times, bathing in strawberries was believed to tighten up flabby breasts. Seriously.
This issue's top sex tip
Recently I was given a goodie bag that contained among other things, a feather. Despite my initial scepticism, my BF was keen, so we gave it a try and I was surprised at how good it actually was.
Many women respond enthusiastically to a really gentle touch and a feather is perfect for this. Use the feather across your lover’s whole body. Start with non-erogenous zones and work your way around. Give attention to the parts of the body that often get overlooked during sex, such as the calves and ankles. Brush it across the stomach and breast. You can try brushing it over the vagina, but this particular move resulted in me breaking into peals of laughter, as it was much, much too ticklish. Once your partner is suitably excited, a firmer touch is a good idea, so try stimulating her clitoris while still feathering her body.
This is probably one for the ladies, methinks. I tried it on my partner and he didn’t get off on it at all. Men generally prefer a more definite touch.
