How Does Lindsay Lohan Feel?

Professional tabloid fodder, Lindsay Lohan has finally accepted Playboy Magazine’s long-standing offer of a nude pictorial. When originally asked a few years back, just as her star was beginning to wane, Lohan had yet to bare her breasts onscreen or in print and, feeling she risked losing some credibility, was reported asking for a cool million to get her gear off for Hugh Hefner’s infamous publication. Now, after numerous run-ins with the law and trouble with addictive substances, as well as already revealing her breasts in artsy-fartsy photospreads in New York Magazine and Harper’s, it seems Lohan is just desperate enough to finally accept Playboy’s offer – and for a little less than her demanded $1 million, too. Lohan’s equally controversial mother, Dina Lohan, has reportedly confirmed that the shoot has taken place and that it was “tasteful.” Bummer.

After hearing the news of Loco LiLo’s plans with Playboy, Fleshlight, the makers of the world’s most popular male sex toy, have thrown the troubled star a proverbial bone. Like pornstars Stoya, Jenna Haze, and Jesse Jane before her, Lindsay could be the next Fleshlight girl if only she’d agree to have moulds made of her vagina, anus, or mouth. Steve Shubin, CEO of Fleshlight has offered her the $1 million she failed to get from Playboy in exchange for her services and likeness, saying “This is a perfect way for Lindsay to immortalize her body parts and it allows fans to connect with her in a whole new way.”

Anyone else think that if LiLo suffers a few more legal troubles Dina just might push her in Fleshlight’s direction?

Lindsay Lohan is set to appear in Playboy’s January 2012 issue, on sale in December. The Fleshlight, it seems, will have to wait.

Sex Toys for Boys… and Girls, too!

It’s fair to say that women usually reap the benefits of advancements in the sexual aid industry. Pornography, most of which is clearly targeted to an exclusively male audience, aside, the majority of high selling toys, aids, and novelties focus on providing increased pleasure for women. Until recently, men have had to be content with using their own two hands or a soft plastic sheath to attain heightened sexual pleasure. With the release of Ntimate Inc.’s “male pleasure system”, FleshWrap, the limits of your potential sexual pleasure may have increased ten fold. That is, of course, if you don’t mind pulling your balls away from your shaft and trapping them in this distant position with a vice-like metal bar/plastic ring apparatus; or, as Ntimate put it, “gently stretch[ing] the scrotum forward and lift[ing] the testicles upward.”

Women, of course, aren’t being neglected, as the FleshWrap claims to increase their pleasure during intercourse by helping your testicles and scrotum rub against your partner with every stroke. As intriguing as the FleshWrap might sound to a woman, who wants to let you girlfriend literally trap your balls in a vice? If you’re think mostly of her, you do have a few other innovations to try out.

After causing a minor sensation at AVN’s Adult Novelty Expo back in January, but only now being made available to the public, the revolutionary Ola vibrator from Minna Life is already making substantial waves in the female pleasure market. The vibrator, which features a groundbreaking interface that enable the wielder to control vibrational patterns by varying the pressure of her grip on the innovative touch-sensitive handle, may cost a whopping $165, but who can put a price on sexual satisfaction?

For those ladies with less money to throw around but a delightfully sinful desire for a new toy to mess with, there’s always Hustler Toys’ new Devilish Darling. This 8-inch waterproof silicone vibe, available in red and white, is embossed with devil horns and hearts and joins, just in time for Halloween, such carnal curiosities as Hustler’s metallic studded Disco Stick and Dia de los Muertos-themed Scandalous Skull vibrators, and costs a more affordable $67.95.

As for the FleshWrap… I’m game. Which is to say, Mr. Pink’s certainly wouldn’t turn down a complimentary Ntimate FleshWrap, for review purposes, of course. Thanks in advance Ntimate!

Ahem.

Stripping Down for Halloween

When Halloween rolls around every year, it seems a few groups of concerned citizens, often teachers and parents, are outraged at how provocative the retail costume industry has become. The once chaste versions of characters from Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, and Red Riding Hood have now been adopted and adapted by adult women. Complete with cleavage-baring corsets, garter belts, and frilled, visible panties, these “adult” costumes are sure to turn heads at parties and Halloween street parades.

Keeping its focus firmly in the over-18 realm, Los Angeles-based “contemporary costume and lingerie” design firm, Seven ‘til Midnight launched its new line dubbed ‘Costume or Play – Wear Either Way.’ Taking traditional Halloween costumes that have been reserved for adults – pirates, nurses, sex kittens, and the French maid – and putting an even more salacious twist on them, Seven ‘til Midnight has designed tear-away adaptable outfits that can be put to use in public or private, as costume or playful lingerie. Though there’s no doubt some wearers will choose the more revealing option when heading out this October, there’s going to be some pretty damn lively bedroom parties this year, that’s for sure.

John Holmes is Risen!

University of Iowa M.F.A. sculpture student Emily Moran Barwick has drawn inspiration from a rather unusual source for her recent exhibition at the school’s Eve Drewelowe Gallery: the erect penis of deceased porn legend John C. Holmes. After dying from AIDS related complications in 1988 at the age of 43, Holmes left behind a 2,000-title acting career and a reputation for having the biggest cock in the history of porn. Now with The John Holmes Prick Parade!!! Ms. Barwick is using replicas of a plaster cast of Holmes’ member that she first saw when working at a novelty store in Florida to create debate about, as she told the Iowa Press-Citizen, “body ownership and who owns the body and who is licensed to the body.”

Sending two dozen plaster penises to contributing artists as far from The Hawkeye State as Miami, Barwick then arranged and exhibited such pieces as the technologically-themed trio iCock, Cockberry, and Swiss Army Cock to gallery attendees. The exhibition, potentially offensive to some, is proudly supported by the university’s art department who arranged for the gallery doors to remain closed while the exhibition stood, and marked the entrance with a disclaimer, alerting prudes and neuters everywhere that their delicate sensibilities could be upset by the presence of twenty-four legendary dicks.

Although the exhibition has now closed to the public, interested readers can keep an eye on Barwick’s blog to see her latest exclamation point-laden efforts to encourage a dialog about body image, ownership, and commodification.
Or you can just look at the decorated dicks.
