A video from the children and spouses of the 18,000 same-sex couples that would be forcibly divorced by the passage of Prop 8. Cry? Ain’t enough Kleenexes.
Thanks to joe.my.god for alerting us.
The message from the group behind the video: “Watch the video and sign our letter to the state Supreme Court. Tell the Supreme Court to invalidate Prop 8 and let loving, committed couples marry. DEADLINE: Valentine’s Day.”
Amen.
I’m guessing the sex is so hot when the Obamas are done, the Bidens light a cigarette. Barack and Michelle are doing for fidelity what Clinton did with infidelity–make us cover our eyes and peek through our fingers.
Of course, monogamy’s always been sexy–for the first year or two of a relationship. But 17 years into a marriage? With two kids? That’s a recipe for sexual amnesia (“You wanna put what where? Why?”)
In HBO’s The Sex Inspectors (the sex makeover TV series), we help long-term couples with kids re-ignite the passion that marked their early relationship. By using cameras in the bedroom, we show them what they’re doing wrong–in and out of bed. But who needs cameras when you can look at a picture-perfect relationship? Here’s how M & O fire on all cylinders:
Kiss, Kiss. A passionate kiss is like a spider’s web–it leads to the undoing of the fly. Most couples don’t realize that before sex walks out the door, affection flies out the window. It’s not an accident that the Obamas kiss A LOT. They hold hands, hug and touch even more. They’re not showing off; they’re setting the stage. The best way to open the bedroom doors is to warm the path to it.
Pump, Pump. Barack, at 47, is almost 6′ 2″ and probably 170 lbs. Michelle, at 45, is almost 6′ and probably around the same weight. They don’t stay that way by doing daily doughnut drive-bys. They’re nuts about exercise, hitting the gym by 6 a.m. Shape up or the sex ships out. Arousal is about blood flow. So is exercise. You don’t need a Dalmatian to connect the dots.
Look, Look. Nancy Reagan looked at Ronnie like she admired him. Laura Bush looked at George like she loved him. Michelle looks at Obama like she’s undressing him. Embers turn to flames when you treat the object of your affection like the object of your desire.
Tush, Tush. They say behind every great man is a great woman. Not anymore. Now, it’s BESIDE every great man is a great woman. She’s not the wind beneath his wings; she is one of his wings. The sense of shared accomplishment is both cause and effect of their intimacy.
But enough lessons. It’s more fun to watch. Like Bill Clinton (“I feel your pain, can I feel it a little more?”), Obama’s got charm and empathy to spare–traits that do not go unnoticed by women. But unlike the former Bubba-in-chief, he’s the Hubba-Hubba-in-Chief. In real estate terms, that man is ocean-view property. And don’t get me started on her. She’s the first-ever FLILF (First Lady I’d Like To…)
Between the two, there’s going to be a whole lotta humpin’ in the White House. At last, a government-run sex education program we can all agree on!

Scenes from a vacation video:
Photos: MillaAfter 5 years, we agreed not so much to break up but to stop trying to get back together. It was mutual. But the pictures hurt. Not because of what could be, but what once was.
Some of the memories:
• Meeting in London while I was filming The Sex Inspectors
• He came up, smiled, and claimed me like lost baggage.
• We went home. I thought he was a great notch in my bedpost.
• He thought otherwise.
• I dated other people. He didn’t want to.
• On a snowy London eve, I told him I had an expiration date stamped on my forehead (I was leaving-didn’t know if the show would be renewed). Why was he so intense about a summer fling?
• Tears streaked down his face.
• I reached to comfort him. He slapped my arm away.
• He spent the night.
• My admiration grew.
• We spent more and more time.
• Until it was time to fly back.
• He watched from the platform as I boarded the Gatwick Express.
• We might never see each other again.
• Tears. In whose eyes, I couldn’t tell.
• The train moved.
• I panicked.
• Picked up a book. Scribbled. Held it to the glass.
• He was as surprised reading it as I was in writing it.
• The show was renewed.
• Came back to London, we lived together.
• I loved him. What he brought out in me, what I got out of him.
• Six months later, time to go back to the U.S. again. Plans for a life together.
• On the phone when he found out his visa application got rejected: An angry haunting wail– like falling out of a building and never hitting ground. No one had ever cried for me like that.
• I never hated this country as much as I did then.
• He eventually got a tourist visa, then a J-1.
• We lived together for over a year, but the visa was ending. The only way to stay together was to marry. But we couldn’t.
• Something about two men.
• We were separated by the U.S. government.
• We tried. For years.
• The distance, the government, our own personal failings.
• We never seemed to break up so why were we always trying to get back?
• On our last vacation, we took pictures knowing it’d probably be the last time we’d be together as a couple.
• Six months later he came through Atlanta for a night, on his way back to London. He had a new boyfriend.
• It stung.
• It helped.
• Next day, I drove him to the airport.
• Do you love him?
• Not sure. Too early.
• Why did you come to Atlanta? Not sure, too early.
• I held his hand. It wasn’t the hand that loved me but it was the hand that once did. And for that I gripped it tight.

Tyra tackled a tickler last week: Gay-for-pay porn stars. My favorite parts of the show (vids below):
* Tyra grasping for the right way to ask the porn stud if he liked to be plowed like a mid-winter Minnesota freeway: “How do I say this on Daytime TV?” she said. “It’s Christmas Day. Do you like to give presents or receive them?”
* Tyra helpfully defending the guy’s contention that he’d rather take it up the bum than service another guy: “When you’re the Christmas gift-giver, you have to be aroused to perform. To receive you don’t have to be!
Really, Tyra, maybe you are the next Oprah.

Public opinion to the show was predictable: Most people seem to think the straight sex workers were either closet case exhibitionists, money-hungry heteros or want-it-all versatiles. But are the only options gay, straight or bi?
How about “Buy-Sexual?”
Gay guys should understand that term better than anyone. We’ve been trading sex for a certain kind of currency since the beginning of time. How many of us dated, sexed or married a woman because it would “buy” us entry into the groups we wanted to be part of? Like family, friends, church, work, or the military. We’ve been doing “Straight-for-stay” a lot longer than straights have been doing “Gay-for-pay.” Don’t let money blind you to the meaning of currency.
Part 2
[/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_youtube c642dSeSm8A&feature=related/]
Gay-for-pay says, “I have sex with men for money.” Straight-to-stay says, “I have sex with women for acceptance.” The currency might be different but the dynamic is not: Temporarily thwarting authentic desire for something valuable.
I’ve had sex with a few women yet if you pointed the Kinsey scale at me (can you point a scale?), Alfred himself would say, “Run! It’s going to blow!” If gays can get it up for a gender we’re not attracted to, why do we think straight guys can’t? Somebody’s being pounded by a double-standard dildo.
Part 3
[/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][fusion_youtube WSgBRWNPn2w&feature=related/]
The real–but plucked– eyebrow raiser in the show occurred when the nearly-married-with-kids guy said he’d rather bottom than top. On the face of it, it doesn’t make sense. Straight guys are almost universally repulsed by the thought of receiving anal sex from another man. Whether they end up with a guy out of necessity (say, jail) or out of desire (say, anywhere) there’s a standard macho defense: “I’m-not-gay-as-long-as-I’m-the-top.” But this guy didn’t go there. Though he was as insightful as a stopped clock (correct twice a day), I was intrigued by his contention that getting the dust pounded out of his rug HELPED him dissociate from the sexual experience. If he wasn’t all that sensitive down there (every now and again you find ports that can take first-class cargo without much trouble), then the rest is easy. All he’d have to do is:
* Position himself so that he’s not touching, kissing or even seeing his partner.
* Position himself to watch straight porn as it’s happening.
* Fantasize it’s his fiancé inserting a toy.
I mean, once you get past the act itself (and I admit, it’s a lot to get past) there’s no difference between gay-for-pay and straight-to-say. Fantasy is the great enabler. If gay men can use it to get past sessions with women, why wouldn’t straight guys be able to get past theirs with men? What’s between your ears is more powerful than what’s between your legs, even if someone’s got them pinned to your shoulders.
What isn’t easily defined is easily dismissed. The closest most of us can come to understanding the phenomenon of straight guys having gay sex is to say they’re bi-sexual. It’s hard to see that they’re in fact, buy-sexual.

Here’s what Chris Brown was thinking
Rihanna’s full page Cover Girl ad with the headline, “Lighten up your eyes.”
According to the National Center for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder):
• 20-30% of American women will be physically abused by a partner at least once in their lifetimes
• 1.3 million women and 834,732 men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually• 201,394 women are forcibly raped by an intimate partner annually
• 11% of women in homosexual relationships and 23% of men in homosexual relationships report being raped, physically assaulted, and/or stalked by an intimate partner
• 503,485 women and 185,496 men are stalked by an intimate partner annually
• 1-25% of all pregnant women are battered during pregnancy
• 30-40% of women’s emergency room visits are for injuries due to domestic violence
• 30% of women killed in the U.S. are killed by their husbands or boyfriends
• 50% of men who assaulted their female partners also assaulted their children
• 3.3 million children witness domestic violence each year
If you or someone you love is in a violent relationship call the National toll-free Domestic Violence hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or go to their website.
Who wouldn’t want to be in THAT relationship?
