An article called The Domme Next Door — San Francisco local color the San Francisco Bay Guardian way!

Vivian lies stretched out on the table in sequined hot pants and matching pasties. At more than six feet in heels, the voluptuous Morgana towers over her in a simple black dress and fishnets, her hair pulled back lest it get caught in the flame. She lights the menacing-looking torch and expertly moves it over Vivian, swiftly tapping the cotton on her chest, stomach, and thighs. She lets a low blue flame linger on each spot for a moment before stamping it out with her bare hand. As she explains, it’s actually the alcohol that’s burning, not Vivian’s lovely skin. Morgana teases the submissive with the heat, dancing the flame over her body. When it does finally make contact with her skin, Vivian arches her back slightly, and small gasps escape from her parted lips. As Morgana concentrates on the flame and Vivian’s responses, her eyes reflect the warm light and gleam with a ferocious intensity. This is one of Morgana’s favorite forms of S-M play, and it shows.

“It’s like a Tupperware party gone very, very bad,” Mistress Morgana says — and I, for one, am not inclined to argue!

After that last cheap blogshot, I suppose I should put something more useful up. How about strengthening international ties by explaining the mystery of “snogging”? Those crazy Brits are always snogging, or talking about it — and it’s never been quite clear to me exactly what that means. I’ve always thought it was a rough synonym for “making out” (or, to use a dying euphemism, French kissing) — but with a more vigorous connotation, sort of like “sucking face” but not quite so crude.

Now all is explained, at Sunday magazine length, in the Guardian Unlimited Observer, and it turns out I’m right:

“And so I had to explain that snogging is a bit like kissing but more aggressive, a bit like sex but strangely far more intimate, and that probably as a result, many people who happily have sex with their partners on a regular basis can’t countenance the idea of snogging them in any way.”

There is lots more. (Original link at archive.org.)

This sounds like fun:

Scientists last week revealed they had successfully tested a nasal spray, PT-141, that sent ‘healthy, normal women’ into states of high sexual arousal.

‘The crucial point about PT-141 is that it directly targets the brain’s arousal centre,’ said Dr Carl Spana, president of Palatin Technologies, of New Jersey.

[L]ast week…Professor Raymond Rosen of New Jersey’s University of Medicine and Dentistry revealed results of the first human trials of PT-141. Sixteen healthy women were given the drug and 16 were given a placebo. All were shown erotic videos, while detectors measured blood flow in their vaginas.

The women given placebos hardly reacted while those on PT-141 had pronounced increases in blood flow – results that demonstrate the drug has potential that goes well beyond its use only as a medical aid, though Spana counselled caution. ‘The drug can only be administered as a nasal spray – which isn’t good for seducers. You can’t put it in a drink and sticking it up a girl’s nose is hard to do surreptitiously, after all.
