I first watched it with a large group of fellow perverts when it first debuted in Vancouver in 2002.<br />
<br />
I highly suggest either renting the movie to watch at home while you play with yourself or your lover, or coming out on February 22 to see it again in a public theater. <br />

<strong>Ask for an HIV test as part of a routine health check</strong>
at your next doctor’s appointment, and your results should be back in
about a week. If don’t want to use your full name, you can use your
initials (non-nominal testing).<br />
<br />
<span class="h2_16pxBlue">Who should get tested and why?</span><br />
<br />
HIV testing can be considered part of your regular care. HIV can be
transmitted by vaginal, anal, or even oral sex (especially unprotected
sex), sharing drug equipment, or during pregnancy, birthing, or
breastfeeding. This means that <strong>just about everyone should think about getting an HIV test</strong>!<br />
The sooner someone gets a test, the sooner HIV can be detected and treatment can begin. <strong>Treatment protects your immune system and lowers the chances of passing HIV on to others</strong>. Treatment is simpler and more effective than ever and means many people can live strong, healthy lives.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Ask for a test at your next doctor’s appointment or visit a drop-in medical clinic. </li>
<li>Find a public health clinic - testing is easily available, often
with a drop-in visit. Find a clinic in British Columbia organized by
city, service, or days of the week open, at <a href="http://smartsexresource.com/get-tested/clinic-finder" target="_blank">SmartSexResource.com</a> or call HealthLinkBC toll-free, 24/7, at 8-1-1.</li>
<li>Drop-in for a rapid “point-of-care” test at select Fraser Health
clinics on select days (not open on statutory holidays). Test results
are available within minutes and no CareCard is required.</li>

Without pajamas. As you arrive,you will step inside a place where the
cares and the stresses of the day are left at the door. The lighting is
soft, the colours are soft, the bedding and furniture are all soft. (The
girls are soft too)</div>

DIRTY GIRLS PLAY PARTY AND WORKSHOP "Flirtatious Banter"<br />SATURDAY FEBRUARY 2<br />7 - 8:30 PM & 9 - 1 AM <br />Coquitlam (and not transit accessible)<br />(2500 sq foot home, two floors, three restrooms, hot tub, parking, fully catered, multi media room porn and sound)<br /><br />$40 party / $50 workshop+party $25 workshop only<br />Bring your own toys & towel.<br />RESERVATIONS: jennifer@libidoevents.com<br />No experience necessary - just a desire to hang out with lovely women<br /><br /><br /><br />The best part about a DIRTY GIRLS party is that it's a light, fun, carefree evening where almost anything and everything goes; a place to explore your voyeuristic or exhibitionist side (or both). If you're just at the beginning of your adventurous journey, it's a great place to dip a toe into the water and decide if you want to dive in deep or wade gently into the shallows. You can be naked as the day you were born, decked out in lace, satin or silk, wrapped in leather, shiny and sparkly in glitter, or festooned in feathers. Choose something that makes you feel beautiful, because by the end of the evening it will be pulsing through you. Beauty. Softness. Laughter. Joy.<br /><br />No two women are the same and no two DIRTY GIRLS parties are the same. There will surely be massage oil at some point, and the chocolate fountain might well be bubbling in the kitchen. Anything is better dipped in chocolate.<br /><br />A DIRTY GIRL'S party is a feast for all the senses. Delicious appetizers, fragrant candles and massage oils, giggles and whimpers, touches as bountiful as you might desire or none at all if you're merely a contented voyeur, and pretty girls of all ages, shapes and colors everywhere.<br /><br />It's like a secret sorority with no particular pledge and no particular uniform. The only expectation is that you leave your inhibitions at the door and venture boldly where no man has gone before. It's a girl thing. Try it. You'll like it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />++Our Sex Machines the Monkey Rocker and the Sybian will be set up with attachments on sale; they range in price from $35-$75 CASH and once you buy it, you just continue to bring it back to LL so that you can ride each and every visit on your own personal insertable. The ride is free; it is the attachment piece you must buy. We have a number in stock, both singles and double insertables.<br /><br />TICKETS: Send an E-Transfer done directly from your own banks home page for the amount due, plus $3 as a service charge to jennifer@libidoevents.com This is secure between you and your bank, the money is sent to my email address and it is fast, done in minutes from you to me.

Before agreeing to talk further with her, I checked in to see what angle her story was coming from as I wanted to ensure we were discussing "ethical" non monogamy. Seeing as Erika was writing a small article on such a juicy topic, I found myself willing to give her some of my time.<br />
<br />
"From her office in Coquitlam, Skrukwa counsels couples on ethically opening up their relationships. She advocates keeping lines of communication open to a partner’s desires without judgment."<br />

<br />
The article was written for the entertainment section and led to my being offered a new job contract discussing open relationships in the Post Secondary School System. <br /><br />Read over what was written and if after reading you become inspired to want to talk with me about your relationship style, non monogamy, opening up a pre existing relationship, or how to move forward to find a partner, this would be a wonderful time to make contact.<br /><br />Skrukwa counsels couples on ethically opening up their relationships. She advocates keeping lines of communication open to a partner’s desires without judgment.<br /><br /><br />Currently I am offering 60 minute phone calls for only $50 for Relationship Talk. We can talk alone, or you can have your partner on the line as well. <br /><br />Deciding to do anything other than monogamy can be daunting, however with a little sexpert help, I can assist you in making the process easier to navigate and understand. <br /><br />Write: jennifer@libidoevents.com Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10267040369575247739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11591858.post-32632945495301587612012-07-31T12:50:00.000-07:002012-07-31T12:51:05.841-07:00Celebrate Pride Vancouver 2012 w/ Amazing PeopleCelebrate Pride with These Amazing Weekend Events ....<br />

@ Robson - Denman - Beach - Pacific - 12pm<br />
The 34th Annual Pride Parade will flood downtown Vancouver with over 700,000 spectators in the City's largest and most colorful festival. Vancouver is home to the 5th largest Pride Parade in the world and is only event in the world that has spectators and participants outnumbering the host City's population. Join us as 150 floats and thousands of people march through a parade as diverse as our City. Starting on Robson Street in the heart of Vancouver's boutique shopping district, continuing down Denman into the Westend, a stones throw from the Davie Village, finishing along the beachfront with an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. This is truly one of the most beautiful and diverse parade routes in the world.<br />
<br />
Pride Festival and Market<br />
@ Sunset Beach - 11am to 6pm<br />
The Festival and Market is a great place to be, before, after, and even during the Parade. Join us in the park and listen to live music by local performers, and check out the Market. Packed with over 150 booths with a great mix of products, services, and community organizations, the market is a great place to support the people and organizations that support your Pride. Kick back and enjoy an ice cold pint of Vancouver Pride's very own distinctly delicious Golden Ale, G'ALE, at one of Vancouver's only waterfront beer gardens.<br />

Finally, a chance to take further responsibility for ones own health and for access to be even more possible to others. A home HIV test is to be celebrated and I am clapping madly right now. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
News like OraQuick, the HIV test that was recently unanimously approved by the FDA for over-the-counter use.<br /><br />OraQuick, produced by the Pennsylvania-based pharmaceutical company OraSure Technologies, is the first rapid HIV testing product available in the United States for receiving instant results at home. Traditionally, to get an HIV test, one would have to go to a doctor’s office or sexual health clinic, have their cheeks swabbed for saliva samples or have a blood sample taken, or else purchase a kit to take their own sample at home and send the results into a lab for testing. Results, depending on the procedure and the sophistication of the laboratory interpreting the results, could take anywhere from sixty seconds to several weeks. OraQuick, however, utilizes similar measures taken in a clinical setting—the test itself is one of the rapid tests used by medical professionals in their offices—but without the visit to the doctor.<br /><br />To take an OraQuick test, individuals swab their upper and lower gums and insert the sample into a vial of test fluid, all provided by the test. If they test positive for HIV, two colored lines develop on the test strip—similar to a home pregnancy test—after 20 to 40 minutes. Also included in the package is an information booklet that directs test-takers to call the OraQuick HIV support center (available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and bilingual in English and Spanish) for counselling on their test results and referrals to further medical services.<br /><br />The test has a high rate (99.98%) of specificity, meaning that it accurately produces a negative result when the test taker is HIV-negative almost 100% of the time; its sensitivity—the number of cases where the test will show a positive result when the individual is HIV-positive—is less high with a percentage of 92.98%. In practice, the FDA estimates that this means that the test would come back positive for one person out of 5000 who was actually HIV-negative, while it could show as many as one out of every 12 HIV-positive test-takers as negative for the virus.<br /><br />While the rate of false negatives is not insubstantial, the FDA reported in their approval that they did not believe this was a reason not to approve the test. They believed that its over-the-counter availability would make the test much more accessible to individuals who might never otherwise choose to get tested, and so could still substantially contribute to determining previously unknown cases of infection.<br /><br />As a product that could soon be available in such mainstream locations as CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart, this new test has the potential to remove a number of the barriers that currently exist to prevent individuals from getting tested. For many, these include an inability to visit the doctor for a variety of reasons—lack of health insurance, cannot take time off of work, cannot find childcare—and the stigma of visiting a sexual health or HIV clinic.<br /><br />At the same time, however, there are still a number of challenges individuals might face in attempting to access OraQuick over-the-counter. Because of the intense stigma that individuals with HIV/AIDS are burdened with, and because of the fear and misunderstanding of the conditions and methods of transmission, asking for or even being seen with an HIV test might be too large a feat for many individuals. As well, there are financial issues to consider as the home test is more expensive than the one that is sold to medical professionals; while the latter costs $17.50, the former is expected to be higher in price, up to $60. Though this price increase is stated by the company to pay for the additional costs of the trained, around the clock hotline, it may still be too costly for many of those most in need of the tests.<br /><br />Additionally, though this point has appeared nowhere in the discussions of this over-the-counter test development, it should be noted that it is conceivable that, as has happened with the over-the-counter availability of emergency contraception, pharmacies might attempt to use “conscience clauses” as a means of not offering the test. Because of HIV’s link with sexual activity and intravenous drug use, as well as its stereotypical ties to the gay male community, religious or conservative providers may decide not to carry the test, thus further limiting individuals’ abilities to access HIV testing.<br /><br />The OraQuick test is not perfect: the higher rate of false negatives is concerning in that individuals may believe themselves to be uninfected and go on to become sick or infect more people through their ignorance, and the access issues are real. However, if this test can be used to bring more individuals into the doctor’s office, and if it can open conversations between patients and their providers or individuals and their partners, it will be performing a great service. If its availability can normalize this aspect of sexual health even a little bit, or can make individuals less afraid of doing what is healthy for them because they are concerned about who might find out, it will be an important moment in the history of sexual health in this country. Testing is one of the primary means of fighting HIV infection, and this test’s ability to bring more people more knowledge about their status has the potential to identify thousands of additional cases of HIV each year, bringing people towards the proper safer sex and health-promoting strategies they should practice to keep themselves healthy.<br /><br />To read more about OraQuick and the FDA’s approval, visit the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/03/oraquick-first-rapid-take_n_1646648.html" target="_blank">Huffington Post article</a> or see <a href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/HIVAIDS/HIVAIDS/33610." target="_blank">Medpage’s announcement</a>.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10267040369575247739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11591858.post-44282351535686736452012-03-19T12:11:00.001-07:002012-03-19T12:13:04.125-07:00Couples & Women: SULTRY Bathhouse Party Sat.

Sultry is going to be an incredible night out, and it's next Saturday, you must purchase your tickets in advance, there are none available at the door. It's a bathhouse party open to couples and single women only, sensually erotic. Currently tickets are at 45% sold, and last month we sold all but seven.<br /><br /><br />Now is the time to purchase tickets for Sultry, our steam, sex and sauna party. An evening for the playfully adventurous: Just you and a whole posse of other exciting people, locked in for an evening of debauchery and being silly. With saunas, showers, play rooms, and massage tables, the stage is set for sensual, sexual, and fun games. Write me for tickets and the rest of the juicy details.<br /><br />Here are a couple of links to writings that past attendees of this great night have written<br /><br />http://libidoevents.blogspot.com/2008/05/from-new-couple.html<br />http://sweatshopsissy.com/index.php/2010/09/sultry/<br /><br />In January, a single woman who attended for the first time (and was one of many single women attending) wrote this to me ...<br /><br />"The vibe at Sultry was incredible! I will probably sound like I am gushing but I have to say that I have a perfect evening. I couldn't have hoped for more. The people were very interesting and a very cool cross-section of ages, genders, personal styles. I even got to talk hockey in one of the saunas! Seriously awesome.<br /><br />The ground rules were clear and easy to understand. The environment was completely enticing and playful. I think that my favourite thing about Sultry is that the mood was so playful and silly. I laughed and smiled throughout the entire evening.<br /><br />I only participated in 2 of the games... car wash and then body paint. After that... I got entirely distracted with play and time flew by... I walked to my car with a grin ear to ear and I'm fairly sure that I fell asleep still smiling.<br /><br />My least favourite part? Lol... the only thing that I didn't enjoy was having it end! I honestly can not think of a single thing that I did not thoroughly enjoy.<br /><br />Sultry was simply amazing to me... I got to spend several hours with wet, soapy naked people... I got to watch some very hot things happening around me... I got to touch and be touched... I got to laugh and be silly and playful... I got to experience sexual pleasure and offer it to others..."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">SATURDAY MARCH 31, 2012<br />8:30 - 11:30 PM<br />SULTRY, COUPLES & WOMEN ONLY BATH HOUSE PARTY<br />ADVANCE TICKETS ONLY: jennifer@libidoevents.com<br />This event is open to couples and women only, no membership is required.<br /><br />Libido Events presents Sultry, our hot, wet, sensational bath house party.<br /><br />You DO NOT need to be a Libido Lounge member to attend SULTRY.<br /><br />Tickets are $80 for General Public couples and non refundable.<br />Tickets are $65 for Lounge Member couples and non refundable.<br />Tickets are $35 for Single Women and non refundable.<br />Tickets are $10 for a Lounge Members Life Time and non refundable.<br />(PAYMENT NOW DUE, NO TICKETS AT DOOR)<br /><br /><br />SULTRY Steam, Sauna, Sex - Couples & Women Only<br /><br /><br />We make a private rental of an Original Style Bath House in Vancouver.<br /><br />~~~~~ SULTRY ~~~~~<br /><br />An evening for the playfully adventurous: Just you, your partner...and twenty-four other couples, locked in for an evening of debauchery.

Jason who is rarely sick enough to take a day off, spent the day in bed being rather unwell. Of course with my husband home bound my day of work was shot, I just never get anything completed when he's around as he is such a handsome distraction.<br /><br />In the evening I headed to the Lounge to see a coaching client and then Deviant Dining, a great group gathered to eat and to laugh their asses off. The odd humor we shared last night is partly what made the event so wonderful indeed.<br /><br />After dinner and late now, at 9, my friend Marilyn packed me into her car and drove me into the city for the grand opening of a new adult store. We arrived to Sweet around 9:30 and it was packed with people eating, drinking and making purchases from the new place. While there we ran into a fantastic bunch of people that we both know so we hung out with them and plotted future kinky encounters.<br /><br />With luck obviously on my side, I won a huge gift basket as well and even managed to buy a swanky new pair of panties from their new line of clothing the store is carrying thanks to my pal being their buyer.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10267040369575247739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11591858.post-23596199253604118772011-12-08T16:47:00.000-08:002011-12-09T11:50:50.632-08:00Sexy AcronymIn an email I received today from a man who was describing to me the sort of woman he and his wife would like to meet for a threeway, he wrote that the woman should be "KVBW".<br /><br />Unknowing what that acronym stood for, I just had to inquire.<br /><br />KVBW is short for Kinky Versatile Bi Woman <br /><br />And that my friends was news to me.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10267040369575247739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11591858.post-22321994610149606842011-12-07T11:38:00.001-08:002011-12-09T11:41:02.047-08:00Participants Needed!An Anonymous Online Survey on Women’s Online Porn Habits and Masturbation<br /><br />Sex Educator Jamye Waxman, M.Ed and History and Women’s Studies Professor Hugo Schwyzer, PhD are conducting a short, anonymous survey on online pornography and its impact on women’s masturbation habits.<br /><br />The survey will take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete, and will be the initial part of what they hope will be a larger study.

Tsk tsk, this was not intentional on my behalf. It happened more due to my being caught up in life, you know how that goes I am sure.<br /><br />So let's bring you up to speed on where life has taken me, I'll keep it brief and just hit the high points. Then as I start to blog again more often, you'll have some frame of reference for things.<br /><br />Currently I have a head and chest cold and Jason is over due for his post vasectomy cum in a cup appointment. <br /><br />Last month I turned 39 years old and celebrated with a trip to Las Vegas. While in Vegas, Jason and I finally were married, it was all previously planned and we even did it live on the internet. The ceremony was progressive and exactly what we wanted it to be for us. Want to watch it, write me and I'll send you the link. <br /><br />The end of this month Pickle will be two, its rather remarkable how fast he is growing up. My daughter will be eighteen soon and the difference between raising them both is just night and day. <br /><br />The Lounge turned four this month already, it's kinda crazy. Over 2000 members at this point, this next year is a time of great change for my professionally.<br /><br />My relationships continue strong and steady. Allena's cancer has been kicked and she made the decision to forgo augmentation and during it all she met someone super special to her. Amy remains a spit fire and so not one to fit into a label and the rest of the tribe are quite seriously more of a handful than I am. <br /><br />Ben makes me laugh and reminds me to give myself a break now and again, I admire his outlook on life. Marilyn is the friend I wish I had twenty years ago, she has wisdom that I cherish. Sheryl shows me that one woman is capable of so much on her own. Victoria's struggles are an obvious reminder to me to take the time to listen to others, she is a source of strength. Judy is proof that regardless of age, love and a reshaping of ones life is always possible. Lisa has shown me a steady relationship of friendship based on respect. Clive hears me and always has the time, his family values are admirable and his advice is sound. <br /><br />My health has been on a slow climb out of the depths of hell thankfully, but not without much suffering, piles of money spent on drugs and a lot of medical professionals helping me. To be fair, Jason carried me through the worst of it, and when he was unable to do it any longer, the hospital was there for me to be admitted to. <br /><br />We did a complete remodel on the outside of our home as well and the renovation process was enough to make me feel like running away. But it's done now and damn, does it ever look fantastic. Both Jason and the companies we hired did a way better job than I ever could have hope for.<br /><br />My Taboo Sex Show touring schedule for 2011 - 2012 started last week with a four day teaching gig in Calgary. Later this week, I head off to Edmonton to do it all over again, then no more shows till January with Taboo.<br /><br />It has been a time of great introspection for me these past few months, I feel as though I am coming out of a fog. The rat race had kept me busy for so long, that slowing long enough to check in with me and take care of my family and priorities was just suddenly a must do item for me.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10267040369575247739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11591858.post-27082025556590599872011-08-12T11:47:00.001-07:002011-08-16T08:52:12.919-07:00Day 2 Camped Out<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhannZwu6zBTITG753rhyphenhyphenGaa-aK7sWrUm9MqwRNHIRV5EL8N5QoFm9E6UMCn2lcGA_CU-n9doszdvFjrYpCeW5UINvlnG4GTKor9Lq9Iuul-D-Y6MJWpiTledqEoEfiYCF1TPL1QQ/s1600/Photo+678.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhannZwu6zBTITG753rhyphenhyphenGaa-aK7sWrUm9MqwRNHIRV5EL8N5QoFm9E6UMCn2lcGA_CU-n9doszdvFjrYpCeW5UINvlnG4GTKor9Lq9Iuul-D-Y6MJWpiTledqEoEfiYCF1TPL1QQ/s400/Photo+678.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641481281123559170" border="0" /></a>

The study looked at 31 obese men with type 2 diabetes, providing them with a reduced calorie or low-fat diet to induce weight lose. The results showed that after 8 weeks, when most men had lost a meager 5-10% of their body weight, the participants reported a rapid improvement in their sexual and urinary problems. The men continued to report improvement for the next 12 months. This evidence leads researchers to believe that erectile function and urinary tract symptoms are related to cardio-metabolic risks.
<br />
<br />By now you would think we would have figured out that everything in the body is connected. Being healthy in one way, physically, mentally or emotionally, can often have unexpected effects on other parts of the body. By going on diets and trying to lose weight these men experienced the expected results of weight lose and easier management of their diabetes symptoms, but also got the more unexpected result of improved sexual function. Even a small weight decrease led to rapid sexual improvement. This shows that men who experience erectile dysfunction do not necessarily need to rush out to buy drugs and pills to improve their sex lives. Making a lifestyle change can be just as effective and can improve other health issues.
<br />
<br />There are many reasons for people to lose weight, whether it is to become more healthy or to fit into one’s bathing suit. Some of these reasons are much more trivial than others; I’m sure most of us could discuss body image and weight for hours. Regardless of one’s reason for losing weight, this research shows that the relationship between weight and sexual function is more complicated than we had assumed.

Enjoy the best of queer cinema with bold documentaries, vivid dramas and vivacious romances. Join in our outrageous parties and help paint this town pink!
<br />
<br />The GLBA is a proud to support the 23rd Vancouver Queer Film Festival. Check out The Wise Kids on August 20, 9:00pm at Empire Granville 7 Cinemas.
<br />
<br />In a Baptist church community in Charleston, South Carolina, three teenage friends contemplate the next stage of life. The Wise Kids surpasses the typical standards of the coming-of-age genre; this film is neither cute nor precious. Instead the young protagonists transport us to a world of rare authenticity, depth and compassion.
<br />
<br />There's Brea, an introspective pastor's daughter experiencing debilitating doubt; the hyperactive Laura, Brea's best friend and a devout believer; and Tim, the open-hearted son of a single father, confronting his homosexuality for the first time. Weaving comedy, drama and gentle-handed philosophy, The Wise Kids premiered at Outfest this July and took home two Juried awards: Best Screenplay and Best US Dramatic Feature.
<br />
<br />"During my teenage years I also began grappling with faith and doubt and sexuality," director Steven Cone (the son of a Baptist minister himself) told The Advocate. "I know that there are millions of church youth out there right now, just trying to find their own way, this led me to make The Wise Kids."

<br />Not a real kiss, more like "how you blow a trumpet". Taken in my kitchen by Jason and in front of all of our kids, hers included, hence the pucker. XOXO
