When a man in the UK was asked to be the best man at his friend's wedding, he was touched. So touched, that he promised not to pull any pranks before or during the wedding. After the wedding though, that's another story.

This man, who is choosing to stay anonymous, has set up this Twitter account for the sole purpose of automatically tweeting when the newlyweds are having sex. I'm not kidding. Read the entire tweet stream from the bottom up if you want the full story. But basically, this guy was watching his friend's house while they went on their honeymoon and he placed a device under their mattress. This device, which is similar to the one found here, is a pressure-sensitive pad that tweets out when sexual activity starts, when it ends, the force of the "action," and a "frenzy" rating...

Tongue, Extended
Whoever made women's genitals certainly made them tricky to stimulate—especially orally. Enter the Tongue Joy, a vibrating tongue enhancement to help human tongues do what no human can in terms of sensation and endurance. Strap the silicone-banded vibe on your tongue (or, if your tongue is pierced, use the barbell piercing attachment) and proceed with awesome. It's battery operated and comes with multiple band sizes in case you want to strap it around something bigger. Four silicone sleeve attachments enhance the size and texture of the vibrating yummy-ness. Lovely for oral sex on a man, too, particularly those who are into hummers that aren't cars...

The Haribo MAOAM brand of sour candy has been criticized for its sexually suggestive packaging. The packages of Germany's Haribo MAOAM feature cartoon-like images of fruit engaged in sex acts.


An outraged parent who saw the packaging described it as "pornographic" and said the "lemon and lime are locked in what appears to be a carnal encounter. The lime, whom I assume to be the gentleman in this coupling, has a particularly lurid expression on his face."

The image above is a "coital model" at SSL International's Cambridge Technical Centre. SSL International manufactures Durex condoms. The machine was used in a scientific study published last year by SSL in which they studied why condoms break. From the paper, published in the journal Contraception:

"Evidence combined from examining returns, questionnaire responses and the coital model strongly suggests a single predominant mechanism of failure we named "blunt puncture," where the tip of the thrusting male penis progressively stretches one part of the intact condom wall until it ultimately breaks.

CONCLUSIONS: Blunt puncture appears to be the mechanism of breakage responsible for more than 90% of condom breakage not attributable to misuse. Knowledge of the main mechanism of breakage should help develop better user instructions, better test methods and, ultimately, better condoms..."

Despite appearances, this position is one of the more tricky in the Scout Walker Kama Sutra. One Scout Walker lies back with their head propped on the ground and their legs tucked up to their chest. The other Scout Walker mounts them, splaying their own legs back behind them, and proceeds to rock and thrust - being careful as they go as their partner is particularly prone and vulnerable beneath them, taking not only their full weight but the full weight behind their thrusts and motions. This position is known as "wrecking" as, on the battlefield, two Scout Walkers surprised in the act by the enemy whilst in this position can freeze, power down and quite possibly be mistaken for scrap metal: it resembles nothing more than one scout walker crushed under another who has been shot out of the sky in mid-leap. There are stories and "urban myths" floating around claiming that some have escaped with their lives by doing just that, but these are generally taken to be apocryphal. This position is popular not only for the energy you can put into it, but also because it allows the two of you to kiss, though your not pressed into each others faces either - so you can shy away from halitosis with tact.

Robbie Cooper's "Immersion: Porn" builds on his earlier work making video-recordings of gamers playing their favorite games; only this time, it's people talking about their relationship to pornography intercut with amazing, intimate footage of their faces as they watch the porn they enjoy.

Tactical Corsets are high-fashion high-function clothes for empowered women.

For too long, women have had to compromise practicality for beauty. Men got pants with cargo pockets and built-in knee pads, women got clothes whose only built-in feature was cuteness. But why should men get all the high-speed low-drag tactical toys?

North Beach's Condor nightclub was best known for a well-endowed erotic dancer named Carol Doda, but in the predawn hours of Nov. 23, 1983, its most notable milestone was carved when beefy Assistant Manager James "Jimmy the Beard" Ferrozzo was crushed to death by a hydraulic piano while lying atop his naked stripper girlfriend, Theresa Hill.

Ferrozzo, who was clothed, evidently kicked the "up" switch on the piano with a pointed-toe boot while in the throes of passion, and the instrument - long used as an entrance prop by Doda - rose 15 feet to the ceiling and crushed him. Firefighters freed the screaming Hill and her dead partner four hours later...
