So how is your summer going?
Did you take some time off, go to the Newberry Library Book Fair (July 26-29 just saying), or just sit around naked next to the air conditioner at home?
Well I have been quite busy. Yes it is time for the Annual Summer ANME show! http://www.anmefounders.com/ During the wicked heat of July, the Adult Novelty Manufacturer Expo will be taking place in beautiful downtown Burbank this weekend. (Actually it is by the airport, but how often do I get the chance to say “Beautiful Downtown Burbank?”)
And boy oh boy are we going to be showing some wild stuff. Of course I cannot tell you what it is because the show starts tonight. And just like Christmas Eve, I must wait until it is approved for me to tell you about all of the wonders. Maybe I will even get to post pictures!

Ron & Chad Braverman (Read about them in Los Angeles Magazine!)
But what an exciting weekend this will be! I will be strolling around looking at all of the new and exciting products that will be unveiled. Products designed to lift your sexual appetites and show you ways of pleasure that perhaps you have never imagined. There will be something for everyone no matter your preference.
Fifty Shades of “Oh My!”
Life is pretty good. But while we do our best to help you fulfill your fantasies, we often run into some risky situations.
You see, our job is to think about sex EVERY DAY. We have to think about it, analyse it and look for ways to make it more enjoyable. There are lots of different people out there in the world with a lot of different needs. How can we help them? And as such, sometimes we say inappropriate things at inappropriate times. And it can cause a stir, an argument, a fight or even end relationships.
Mild Example: I was in class earlier this week. Scientists need to stay up on new developments, so along with those classes I also study psychology, religion and particle physics. Yes, I am an absolute gas at parties. During this class, the professor asked us to brainstorm ways to relieve stress. As he went around the room, he got the usual answers like exercise, meditation, read a book. He got to me and I answered, “Masturbation.” Valid, but it caused a minor ruckus because it is something that many of these older students were raised not to discuss. They wondered aloud whether I was a sex addict or just a pervert.
You’d think I was the Devil himself when I explained that work in the sex industry and that sexual health and wellness was my particular field. I do not argue or try to justify my job to people with closed minds any more. And sadly, the woman with whom I had been doing quite well decided that we shouldn’t sit next to each other in class or hang out during break.
C’est la vie.
Sometimes you cannot separate your job life and your home life. But you can try your best to keep it to yourself. Yet a slip of the tongue is only a split second away. (How many of you when I said “Slip of the tongue” started thinking about oral sex? I thought so. I’m a big fan myself.) Life can be difficult when it revolves around sex during all of your waking hours. Statements like “I’ve made a breakthrough in anal sex.” or “What do you think of this? Would you use it on your pussy/cock/tits/ass?” or “How does this feel in your mouth? Creamy?” taken out of context can be trouble. And you just can’t use a slogan like, “Dr Tim, making butt-fucking easier for 30 years!”
I wouldn’t trade my life for anything.
Check out this link: http://www.lamag.com/features/Story.aspx?ID=1715666 It is the story of Doc Johnson and how my boss and his family handle being in the industry. It is a fascinating read. I read it and I still like him!
