Podcasts: My former flova turned live in lover and I are podcasting for his site. The podcast isn’t about sex, even though future podcasts will be, but if you want to hear about the Secret, listen now.

Portnoy: This woman is sick of being a secret in the US. Suzanne Portnoy wants more press, and honestly, she deserves more then she’s getting. I had coffee with her this past week, and besides being one of the most sexually confident and voracious ladies I’ve ever met, I really liked her writing; “The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker:An Erotic Memoir” and actually just enjoyed spending time with her. Portnoy’s smart, savvy and sexually out there. All pluses in my opinion.

The book is about her sex life both during and after (what became) her sexless marriage. So, why should you read it? It’s hot to see a woman reclaim her sexuailty. It’s hot to hear an “older” woman talking about how much she loves sex outside of missionary or doggy style, and if you’re a fan of anal sex, then Portnoy’s right there with you. Or if you’re a woman contemplating your own sex life and/or relationships, it might be nice to read a liberating experience like this one (of course it could depress you because she has yet to find true love - and no, this does not ruin the book, in fact she’s the happiest single woman I’ve met, and she’s getting way more action then anyone I know).

Patches: Lastly, I’m intrigued by Intrinsa. It’s this patch that’s touting itself as the new “female viagra.” You’re not going to find in in the US, it’s not available here, in fact it appears to be readily available in Germany and if not now, it will be available in France really soon. Also the UK is thinking of bringing it over, or is bringing it over, I forget. It’s for women with low libido, low desire, low sex drive and I believe in order to get a prescription you have to be post-menopausal. I think it’s great if it really works on an hormonal level, but for women who’s problem is mental or emotional this isn’t going to be the fix. Of course, it’ll probably hit the pre-menopausal market and become the must try party drug. I can’t say if it wasn’t offered to me, I wouldn’t give it a go. As long as it doesn’t have crazy side effects, I’d give it a go, and then I’d go at it. For the Daily Mail article on Intrinsa, click here.
