The Venus Butterfly. It made its debut on TV legal drama LA Law, when— during the 1986 Thanksgiving episode—script writers Steven Bochco and Terry Louise Fisher referred to a mysterious sex technique that guarantees a woman endless, repeated climaxes. The day after Thanksgiving the media was buzzing with talk of the trick, and every loving couple across the nation was wondering how to do it. But hey, it's just an urban myth, right?

Maybe... maybe not. Ever since that fateful day, sexologists, therapists and writers have made attempted to define this holy grail of sex acts. So does it exist? … Read More

The mythical one-hour orgasm. Does it exist? According to some experts interviewed by Yvonne K. Fulbright on FoxNews.com it certainly does. "Chalking up the amazingly pleasurable height of sexual response as no more than a 'genital sneeze,' they see an orgasm as involving so much more," she writes.

We've written about these insanely long climaxes in the past (check out this piece on the EMO, or Extended Massive Orgasm), and this sounds pretty similar. With a technique called the Venus Butterfly, practitioners can experience orgasmic contractions over and over. Fulbright explains that these hour-longers believe that

It doesn't matter that masturbation is the safest and possibly most satisfying sex you can have, when it comes to a ménage a moi, lots of ladies (and men) are still in the closet.  For starters, let's applaud the fact that we're not living in the Victorian era, when women were restricted from riding bicycles and horses, and some from sewing and squatting, lest they get too excited. And we don't have to visit the doctor's offices anymore just so they can use a large vibratory apparatus to calm us from "hysteria." We can also eat graham crackers and … Read More

You've heard the warnings on the Viagra commercials saying that if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours you should call a doctor. Well, in this piece, MSNBC explores prolonged erections, known as priapism. These ultra hard-ons don't come from being turned on and they don't go away after you orgasm.

They occur when the penis fills with blood, as in a normal erection, but for some reason it's unable to get out. Apparently they're extremely painful, and really do need a professional's attention. A doctor will drain the … Read More

From The Illustrated Guide to Extended Massive Orgasm, by Vera and Steve Bodansky

The two of us—Vera and Steve—have beens students and teachers of sensuality for a total of more than fifty years. We make sensuality and pleasure the highest priority in our lives, more important than success or anything else. This does not mean we stay in bed all the time, stimulating each other. It does mean that when we reach a fork in the road or have to make a decision, we choose the path that feels the most pleasurable and fun. We … Read More

The White Stripes have a song called "The Hardest Button To Button." According to Jack White the song is about a child dealing with a new baby sibling, but when I hear the title I always think of the clit.

Some women can orgasm from clit stimulus alone, some prefer penetration, and some like both at the same time. According to this Betty Dodson video, via Susie Bright's Journal, the clit and the G-spot are part of the same gland, and the whole thing is way bigger than you think.

According to these sexperts, the head of the … Read More

Sophie*, 27, and Janine, 30, were headed down to the corner deli for their usual breakfast: bagels with cream cheese, tomato, and onion. Coworkers and close friends outside the office, for the past three years they had chewed over just about everything together-dating disasters, same-sex experimentation, their divergent definitions of feminism. Still, Janine paused mid-bite when Sophie said, out of the blue: "I'm polling my girlfriends, so I wanted to ask: Do you need to use your hands to orgasm when you have sex?"

In this age of frank talk about getting it on-courtesy of six seasons of Sex … Read More
