Holistic Wisdom, Inc.

A man was laying in bed with his new girlfriend. After having great sex, she spent the next hour just scratching his nuts.... something she seemed to love to do.

For his birthday, little Joseph asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said, "Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $280,000 and your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford it."

The next day the father saw little Joseph heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, "Son , where are you going?"

Little Joseph told him; "I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling mom you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too. And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with a $280,000 mortgage and no bike!"

Oprah's Sexual Health Episodes
The Day Oprah Endorsed A Sex Toy
With Dr. Laura Berman During "Your Best Life Ever" Series

It was an average Friday and we at Holistic Wisdom were getting things ready to wrap things up for the weekend on January 9, 2009 but something very unusual was starting to happen. At about 2:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time we began to get an odd number of orders for the same product... a product that we typically don't sell often- the Aphrodite Vibrator. At first, we thought that it was some possible scam, but after tenuously looking at the individual orders, we realized they were all checking out. Not only that, but we were getting several for them every minute!

We contacted one of the customers who had requested a rushed delivery and asked her the date that she needed it by as well as how she had decided to purchase the Aphrodite. She chuckled and said "Well, Oprah of course, it was on the Oprah show today." At this time it was 3:30 p.m. our time and Oprah had already ended on the East coast, was now mid-way through the show on Central Time and was about to start in our time zone. We scrambled to the television to watch, while our buyer was frantically trying to secure every Aphrodite through the manufacturer and every wholesale distributor out there.

Being featured was Dr. Laura Berman, a fellow sexologist- someone I highly respect and whom I have had the privilege of working with on her radio show. I knew she was doing a few Oprah episodes, but had no idea she was going to be featuring her products. No one in the adult industry did for that matter, and that is when the insanity began. It turns out that Berman was only given 2 weeks notice so it was impossible for the manufacturer to prepare for the avalanche of sales that occurred from the power of Oprah.

The Aphrodite, which Oprah dubbed as "The Sure Thing" to help women achieve an orgasm, was not in stock through the manufacturer who told us when we called that not only did they not have any, but they were not expecting any to come in until March and since then have found that some delay could make it as late as June! We were stunned and began feeling rather overwhelmed as one order after another for them came flying in.

We immediately updated our web site to show them as back ordered. After over a dozen calls, we were told by every wholesale distributor that we had just bought them out of their entire stock. This was terrible as we were only able to secure a couple of them through each distributor... a total of 15 units and we had already sold a hundred times that!

I spoke with several people in the sex toy industry and heard that some companies had already left for the weekend when the Oprah show aired and had no idea what was happening. Then there were others that knew, but decided not to tell customers that they were out of stock. One company let over 3,000 orders go through over the weekend with no warning to consumers that they would not be getting it until March and have had to continually update them only to have the estimate time be as late in some cases as June.

We decided to email the customers that had ordered from us before we had a chance to put the back order warning on our site and let them know. Then we placed the first mass order to secure them for customers for March - June and were finally able to fill them all during that time.

We have been asked as to whether it is a sure thing. Here is what we want our customers to know-

Vibrator Considerations

Sex toys are a very personal thing and finding what is right for you may take some exploration. Just some considerations to keep in mind are-

Intensity
How powerful do you want your vibrator to be? Power can make all the difference in the world. It affects the intensity of stimulation and can mean the difference between reaching orgasm and not.

Noise
Is noise a concern? Do you want it to be quiet? Trying to relax and get into the mood can be quickly hampered when you have a noisy vibrator that alerts family or roommates as to what you are doing. If that is of concern, finding a vibrator that is quiet will be an important factor.

Size
How big do you want your vibrator? Using a vibrator that is large has the advantage of allowing more area to be stimulated and can be more comfortable to handle. A long handle allows for a comfortable grip and allows for some alternatives in how it can be used. A smaller vibrator can be more easily hidden and can be used in some cases more easily during sexual activity in ways that a larger vibrator cannot be. Determining how you want to use your vibrator and how powerful you want it to be can influence how large it should be.

Variations Of Vibration
Do you want a vibrator that offers multiple levels of stimulation from low to high vibration to pulsations and surges? Do you want it to run programs or do you want a simple vibrator that will keep a steady vibration?

Power
Do you prefer something that requires batteries, is rechargeable or plugs in? There are pros and cons to each-

Battery Pros & Cons
A sex toy that requires batteries affords the user to operate without cords and provides a larger variety of sex toys to choose from as most require batteries. These can be costly if not using rechargeable batteries by having to keep replacing them. These can be bad for recycling purposes if you use non-recyclable batteries and therefore bad for the environment. We recommend getting rechargeable batteries to counter the cons if you get a battery operated sex toy.

Rechargeable Pros & Cons
Rechargeable sex toys do not require batteries and are therefore, better for the environment and less expensive to maintain. Depending on the quality of the toy, they may not hold the charge for long. These may also require long charging periods and may not work unless fully charged; making it important to plan on having it charged before your next use. Some rechargeables may not allow you to use it while it is charging.

Plug In Pros & Cons
Electric sex toys are often some of the most powerful vibrators and offer a deep vibration that others cannot compare to. You do not have to worry about costly batteries, the effect of batteries on the environment or planning to make sure your toy is charged. These can limit how far you can move around (we recommend getting an extension cord). The cord may get tangled or get in the way during wild sexual adventures. These also cannot ever get wet as they may create the risk of electrical shock. We recommend wiping down with a moist wash cloth when it is unplugged that has been sprayed with sex toy cleaner.

Stimulation
What part of your body do you want to stimulate and do you want to stimulate more than one part at a time. There are single, dual and triple action vibrators that allow you to stimulate up to three different erogenous zones as a time. One of the most popular among women is the dual action vibrator that stimulates both the gspot and clitoris at the same time.

Is Any Sex Toy A Sure Thing?

As you can see there is a lot of thought that can go into getting the right vibrator for you and/or your lover and holding up one and saying that it is the "sure thing" is a bit over generalized. Nothing is a sure thing. There are all kinds of reasons why one vibrator may not be as effective as another for someone. That is why we encourage customers to contact us if they have questions before they purchase from us so that we can help them find the right one for them. After all, you would not say that one pair of shoes is going to be the best pair of shoes for everyone right? People need different styles, functions and sizes and no pair of shoes nor a sex toy will meet everyone's needs. For more information on sex toys, please see our sex toy education center.

The following Friday after Oprah had aired her show on sexual health with Dr. Laura Berman and promoted the Aphrodite, she had a webcast that was available online. The following are things that were reviewed during that webcast with links to related articles and products that were mentioned.

Ellen sat down to enjoy her first cup of fresh coffee, Texas Pecan pancakes with maple syrup for sweetener, her favorite music playing in the background. The sun shone in from the window giving the room a subtle soft aqua marine color that is complimented by the white wicker furniture with a light spring colored print on the cushions. It is a sunroom type of room.... and it is her office. She can feel at home here in business attire or totally naked, as she is now. She had just spent some time on the tanning bed after a wonderfully satisfying nights' sleep and was feeling a bit randy, as she did most mornings.

She had just passed by the mirror and she had to admit... at almost 50 she was still quite attractive. She had let her dark brown hair grow out to mid back length and was thick and wavy with rich fill body. She had bright hazel eyes that were truly the window to her soul. There wasn't much she could hide in those eyes and her smile was inviting to say the least. Most of her lovers told her of how much they desperately and continually desired putting their piece deep into her luscious mouth.

She was not thin by any means, but a fit and comfortably curvy size 6. She looked every bit a woman. Her wonderfully firm and full 34DD breasts had moderate sized nipples that were just starting to stand up to attention as her thoughts encouraged the desires stirring within her yet again. She thrived on tastes and smells, and the pleasant, sweet taste of her coffee renewed her desires for the taste of sweet hot love juices. The excitement and longings for today's activities were building inside her again as her mind drifted back to the events of yesterday.

The morning started out chilly, for a southern day anyway, but had warmed nicely. The leather jacket she had needed just an hour before was easily shed as she continued to check off the list of errands she was to accomplish that morning. She hadn't thought it would warm up so early so she hadn't bothered to wear a bra today day. She often didn't anyway as she was a bit of a naturalist.

It was approaching lunchtime and, having had only coffee before leaving the house, her stomach growling. She decided to get a bite to eat at the natural foods store she was at and enjoy it on the patio in the sunshine before finishing her last errand. The patio was full of people with the same idea and she noticed only one place to sit. It was at a table already occupied by a nice looking man about her age. Since she had noticed him eying her the minute she walked onto the patio she didn't think he would mind. He agreed, introduced himself as Steve and started a comfortable conversation with her almost immediately.

She was feeling a bit self conscious about her sweater being thinner than usual and the fact that her conversation with this deliciously handsome man was causing a stirring in her that made her twin peaks cry out for attention. She struggled to regained her composure and made herself focus on the conversation.

He was new to the area and had just secured a job but it didn't require him to start until the following week.... today was only Tuesday. He had just learned that the moving company had yet to arrive with his things and probably wouldn't until at least tomorrow. He explained that, since he had nothing to do at present, he was just enjoying all the benefits of having relocated to this part of the huge metropolitan area they were in. He was a country boy at heart.

By this time most of the tables on the patio had started to become empty as the people regretfully went back to work. Ellen decided to offer to show him around some of the local attractions and help him learn his way around... after all, it was a very large city and she had lived here most of her life. After some site seeing, she invited him to have dinner with her at her place and offered the use of her spare room if he promised to be a gentleman. She would make him dinner and they could enjoy the fresh evening air on her patio. He contemplatively accepted the invitation and the evening began.

He started a fire in the patio fireplace just as she requested while she made the dinner. She was sure she could please his palate and entice his taste buds... if not with food maybe with herself. Steve was being a perfect gentleman.... a little too perfect for her tastes and she desperately wanted to change that. It had been a long time since she had been fulfilled by a man let alone one as physically attractive as Steve and her desires for him were getting almost too strong to contain. Her hot, sweet cunt was not only starting to ache for the feel of him inside her and producing copious amounts of love juices, but her nipples were announcing her desires to whomever cared to notice. She desperately hoped he would.

After dinner, as she went to clear their empty plates, she could not help but notice that Steve's cock had swelled to the point of pushing the limits of his jeans. That explained why he just sat and smiled while she cleared his plate. He definitely had noticed! She suggested that they go inside to warm up from the evening chill and he smiled warmly and reaching for her arm, pulled her to him kissing her with his full moist lips. It was now or never in his mind. He had waited all day for his chance to kiss her. He wanted her badly and his cock had not failed to make him painfully aware of his needs all during dinner. His kiss was strong and hot and she simply melted into it and into him. How she longed to have him kissing her body all over. She could contain herself no longer and the fervor of his kiss had just confirmed that he had the same feelings. She had to have more of this man... soon.

He followed her inside and while she was doing the dishes he asked if he could shower. It had been a long day for him. She showed him to the quest room and bath and went back to do the dishes. She was tempted to watch but decided doing the dishes was a safer idea. She didn't trust her ability to control her desires and she wasn't ready for him to know them all just yet. She finished the dishes first and decided to take a short bath herself while she waited. She lost her sense of time in the bubbles and fragrant warm water on her skin. It had indeed been a long day.

As she lost herself in the moment, she became increasingly aware of a new aroma in the room. She opened her eyes to see that it was Steve. He had finished his shower and had come in to find her. She had left the door ajar and he did not hesitate to seize the opportunity to see her luscious body naked. He had been imagining her naked all day. The images he conjured up made his loins ache continually. He had not bothered to cover himself with his towel and she could see that he was again, more than a little interested in her. His cock was rock hard as he bent down to meet her face with another kiss and put his gentle hand on her thigh. She melted into him yet again.

He asked her to come to him in her bedroom when she was finished and then disappeared from her sight leaving her no time to object even if she had wanted to. While she was toweling dry he lit the candles she kept all around her bedroom. He was waiting for her on the bed where he pulled her to him and rolled her onto her back all the while he kissed her passionately. He pinned her arms firmly to the bed and began caressing her body with his tongue and lips, paying particular attention to her breasts. She swiftly found herself climaxing from his nips at her nipples. Her cunt was now bathed in her juices. Steve only let go of her arms when he had gone too far down to turn around. He did not want any laps in the feel of her skin on his lips as he caressed the length of her body with kisses, found her smooth shaved mound and started to gently lick and suck her clit. He was totally enjoying the taste of her sweet juices. She had never felt such intense pleasure with any other lovers. This man was quite a remarkable lover.

She struggled to maintain control and lie still while he was relentless in pleasuring her. He started to finger her while he sucked her clit and stroked her to the point that she suddenly lost all self control. She let herself enjoy the total pleasure she knew she would feel the moment she submitted to her desires and push. She abandoned all focus then, bore down and bathed his face with her juices. Her cries of ecstasy told it all. She hoped Steve would not panic but enjoy the fruit of his labor of love. When she could bring herself back to earth, she looked at Steve and the look of pure pleasure on his face was all the answer she needed.

Steve's acceptance of her made her desire for him overwhelming. She moved onto her back, her head off the side of the bed, and with him standing over her head she began to lick the head of his cock. His pre-cum was the sweetest she could ever remember. She continued to take him into her mouth a little bit at a time. First his head, in and out slowly. Then more and more until he was all the way down her throat and her face nestled against his balls where she bathed her senses in the musky smell of his skin. In and out slowly and completely she worked his cock into her throat.

He had never experienced such complete oral penetration. She did not gag or shrink back at any point. She loved the feel of him deep into her throat. It was all he could do to hold onto his cum. He knew she wasn't ready for him to cum just yet.... not yet. He was pinching her nipples and watching her masturbate while she was swallowing his cock repeatedly. She was using her toy and massaging her clit to make herself ejaculate twice more while he watched. He had heard about such women but had never experienced it personally before tonight. It was every bit the turn on he had imagined it would be.

The way he was moaning she know she had him close. She stopped and turned over and around so he could have her pretty bottom staring at him. His choice of pleasure as she was soaked with her juices everywhere between her legs. He chose her pussy thrusting deep and hard. He only made it a few strokes before he exploded into her with all his cum. He desired so much more of this woman but it would have to wait until tomorrow. They curled up together, warm and sated, and ready for a sound nights sleep. She awoke first and chose to let him sleep as long as he wanted... after all, there was not going to be any work getting done today.

Men who have had an STD are according to a new study are 5.4 times as likely to report sex wasn't as pleasurable during their later years. Which STDs were most associated with this problem were not reported, however, treatment for urinary tract infections are associated with a higher risk of having erectile problems.

Men who have college diplomas are more likely to report pleasurable sex with ease of reaching orgasm as opposed to those who have not finished high school. This could be an indication of education leading to higher income and therefore less stress or increased leisure time. One wrinkle in the study however, showed that those who attended college have twice the risk of erectile dysfunction of men who never finished high school.

Scientists are saying that the difference between the length of a man's index and ring fingers can indicate how aggressive and dominant he is likely to be. Men whose index and ring fingers are closer in size tend to be physically weaker and more prone to compromise. The trend is thought to be linked to the amount of the male sex hormone testosterone a baby is exposed to in the womb. Those with differences in their index and ring finger will show more aggressive personalities. The more the difference, the more aggression can be noted. In women, ring and index digits are usually almost the same length but in men the ring finger tends to be much longer.

The Sundance Channel is promoting a sequel to their first Green Porno show featuring reproductive activities of animals. Isabella Rossellini�s Green Porno will air on the Sundance Channel starting on May 5, 2009. For the second season, the sex life of various creatures goes from land to sea.

Even though prostitution is already illegal in Washington, D.C. there were reminders made during the Inaugural celebration period. What is kinda funny is that It has an expiration date, as though at all other times, hookers have free reign over downtown Washington.

According to Johan Lundstr�m and Marilyn Jones-Gotman of McGill University in Montreal, Canada, women who are madly in love have difficulty recognizing the body odors of male friends, but their ability to distinguish their partner�s smell is unaffected. This suggests a lover doesn�t necessarily pay more attention to her partner, and supports a theory of romantic attraction known as �Deflection�, which argues that being in love with someone involves a reduction in the amount of attention given to other potential suitors.

The old adage of not sleeping with a man on the first date holds some water. Women increase their chances of being lucky in love if they avoid sleeping with men on the first date, scientists say. Using a complex mathematical model, researchers have shown that lengthy courtships evolved to allow women to weed out unreliable partners. Prof. Robert Seymour, of University College London, used a branch of maths called game theory to explore the dating rituals of men and women.

Facebook decreed that a mother nursing her child is an obscenity, and began to delete these �offensive� images from their website. Unfortunately, even in the face of impassioned protests, Facebook has stuck to their guns and has refused to draw an official distinction between the image of a mom nursing and pornography.

A new U.S. study has found that being circumcised significantly reduced the risk of HIV infection in heterosexual African American men known to have been exposed to the virus. The findings complement those of recently reported clinical trials in Africa, where interventional use of adult male circumcision similarly reduced the risk of HIV infection in heterosexual men.

Vassalboro, Maine - A proposal to open a topless coffee shop in Vassalboro has been approved for permit by the town planning board. The board voted unanimously for Donald Crabtree's coffee shop, saying his application had everything it needed. The coffee shop will be open between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., which has many residents concerned about children in the area. Many townspeople stood up during the meeting to say the topless coffee shop had no place in a small town. They say it may attract business, but not the kind they're looking for.
