Positively Sexy Video: Lick It

Posted in Celebrity Sex, Gal Pals, PASSION 101, Sexual Fitness, Sexual Healing on October 4, 2011 by Kali Morgan

Just in time to whet your appetites for Thursday’s “Getting Down with Going Down on her” workshop with Chelsea Olivia, we are posting Karrie S’s nomination for “Positively Sexy Video”

We are not sure how we missed the debut of this song on the Showtime series The L Word, but we are thankful to have found the video for Lick It by God Des & She

God-Des & She are a hip hop/pop/ soul duet from New York (via Madison Wisconsin) whose talented drag kings models combine with witty lyric make this humorous look at sex education (not to mention the implied art of cunning-lingual performance) positively wrong in all of the right ways! A dancing vagina in front of an ice cream truck isn’t supposed to be hot, is it?  Who knew?

Lyrics for the song include:

…pick her up and set her on your face
pick a large area, give her some space
she needs some room to place your mouth where she want it
let her ride your face like she’s about to come on it…

Sounds like great advice to us!

Check out the official Goddess and She website for tour dates, downloads and other news! We hope to see/hear these folks at upcoming Pride events and festivals (and anywhere else for that matter)!

Nominate your choice for “Positively sexy video” with any video (old or new) that you know to have a sex-positive message. In other words, a sexy video that is not phobic, judgmental or just plain tacky. Humor is encouraged, sexiness (and a certain amount of sophistication) is mandatory!

Show your colors- Hanky code specials at Sexploratorium this month!

Posted in Book Nook, Celebrity Sex, Events, Gal Pals, Gift Guides, Male Room, PASSION 101, The Body Politic, Trans Toolbox, X-treme fantasy on June 10, 2011 by Kali Morgan

In celebration of pride month, Sexploratorium is providing souvenirs with purchases all month long through June 30. In addition to our free rainbow flag special, we are celebrating leather community traditions by encouraging you to wave a more personal flag- “show your colors” this month by flagging your intentions using the hanky code.

According to Wikipedia, “flagging”  has it roots in western culture where railway workers would signal availability using colored bandanas during square dances. The “hanky code” was widely used during the 1970s in gay leather subculture, but is now widely used by bisexual, queer, pansexual and just about any other category of BDSM practitioner.

Hankies, hankies everywhere

Show your colors this month- when you buy from a certain category of product, get a FREE hanky that corresponds. Then, choose which side to raise your "flag"

The practice of “flagging” involves wearing color coded bandanas or fabrics on the left (dominant or active) or right (submissive or passive) side of the body, most frequently hanging from the rear pockets or belt loops of pants.Various colors of bandana are used to indicate specific activities sought by the wearer*:

* The color/interpretations of the code vary from region to region.

Earn a free hanky for each category purchase you make through June 30.
Here’s what your Philly Sexplorers have come up with for you:

  • Light Blue = Oral Sex – Buy any oral sex how-to book or video ($15-40) – only have one hanky
  • Black = heavy S&M – Buy any impact toy over $25, or buy Screw the Roses or SM 101
  • Grey (light) = Bondage – Spend over $25 on bondage equipment or how-to books
  • Purple = Piercing– Buy a box of needles
  • Light Yellow= Spit– Buy any ballgag over $25
  • Yellow = Watersports – Buy a funnel gag or a pStyle (and case)
  • Orange = Up For Anything – Spend $20 or more on lube
  • Red = Fisting – Buy any box of gloves or book on fisting
  • Fuschia = Spanking – Buy any impact toy over $25, or buy Screw the Roses or SM 101
  • Pink, light = Dildos – Buy any dildo $25 or more
  • Green, hunter = Daddy/boy – Buy any collar $25 or more or any book about D/s over $20

Pop musician and performance artists Peaches, even has a song that pays homage to the code and names colors (see below).

Experience the Real Touch this Weekend @Sexploratorium!

Posted in Male Room, PASSION 101, Video Peeps on April 19, 2011 by Kali Morgan

Bring a friend to Sexploratorium this Saturday or Sunday morning!

Real Touch: A FREE Saturday/ Sunday brunch appetizer for men
(and their partners).

Experience the RealTouch virtual/ interactive toy for men this weekend during TWO free demos!


It’s rare that we find a sex toy that is so revolutionary in design and function that it warrants it’s own “coming out” party! With Real Touch, we feel that you need to see and touch to grasp the amazing possibilities!

The Real Touch is a virtual sex device for male bodies that is activated by programmed sequences on select erotic movies. When connected to a computer playing a video file, the Real Touch reacts to specific activities as they occur on video. If there is thrusting happening on the video, the Real Touch thrusts; if there is sucking happening on screen, the Real Touch sucks!

Youve got to experience it to believe it!

This weekend, enjoy mimosas and a live introduction to the possibilities of Real Touch during two exclusive “Brunch appetizers” in the male room at Sexploratorium on Saturday, April 23rd  at 11:30am (showcasing female/male erotica) and then on Sunday April 24th at 11:30 am an additional demonstration (featuring male/male erotica).

Examine the Real Touch orifice that can accommodate a penis of almost any size and girth. During use, it automatically flexes and squeezes for a pleasingly tight fit that mimics the act of real penetration!

Touch the soft interior. The supple texture of the Real Touch is as similar as you can get to the feel of actual mucous membranes. During use, it lightly strokes your entire length, stimulating touch receptors from the head all the way to the base of the shaft.

Learn how the internal lube mechanism releases lube at specific, well-timed moments during video playback, creating an intense, hands-free experience.

Feel the heating elements work in tandem, gently raising the temperature inside Real Touch to authentic levels. The heat calms and soothes as it permeates, giving you the distinct sensation of intimate body-to-body contact.

Unlike other designer items such as the Real Doll, the high-tech Real Touch is an affordable investment! The introductory price for orders including shipping is just $249.00. Gay-friendly packaging will not be available for at least another two weeks, but we have gay videos on hand for customers who just cannot wait to order theirs (are you really going to keep the packaging anyway?).

Bring a Friend. Have a Mimosa.
Put your finger inside and experience the Real Touch!

Where: The Male Room at Sexploratorium 620 S. 5th St.

When: Two events geared toward two male audiences

Saturday April 23 (shown with male/female erotica) 11:30AM- Noon

Sunday April 24 Easter (shown with male/male erotica) 11:30AM-Noon

Arrive by 11:15- Demo starts promptly at 11:30!
Bring payment if you want to order your own Real Touch,

free gift with every order placed at the demo!

Buy Sex Toys, Aid Japan!

Posted in Book Nook, Events, PASSION 101, The Body Politic on April 6, 2011 by Brooklyn

The Japanese kanji for "Hope"

In light of the recent natural disasters in Japan, the staff and management at Sexploratorium wanted to do what we could to help the people affected by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

Some of the highest quality toys on the market are made in Japan, one of the only countries in the world that regulates the material used in sex toys. Japan is also the origin of one of the most beautiful forms of rope bondage – Shibari.

Whenever you buy a toy from a Japanese designer, we’ll donate 5% of what you spend to a charity aiding in disaster relief. These brands include:

  • Tenga – makers of fantastic men’s toys like the Flip Hole and Tenga Egg
  • Vibratex – creators of the original Rabbit vibrator
  • Hitachi – if you’ve never seen a Magic Wand in action, what better time than now!

We’ll also be donating $1 from every class registration to charity. This applies to our entire class schedule, but we’re also offering TWO classes on rope bondage (including Shibari) in April. You can appreciate the beautiful restriction of Japanese-style rope bondage and help the people of Japan!

THIS WEEKEND! Nancy Ava Miller: PERVERT Extraordinaire and BDSM Pioneer

Posted in Book Nook, Bottoms Up, Celebrity Sex, PASSION 101, The Body Politic, X-treme fantasy on April 1, 2011 by Brooklyn

The Sexploratorium has the distinct pleasure of hosting BDSM pioneer, author, and champion of sex-positivity Nancy Ava Miller!! She will be signing her book PERVERT and teaching two classes this weekend, beginning on Friday April 1st (TOMORROW!). Read on for more information…

About the Author – Nancy Ava Miller

Hypnotherapist, teacher of Transcendental Meditation, former educator and professional writer, Nancy Ava Miller, MEd, dwells in a remote mountain region of New Mexico where she meanders rugged hills with her dogs, meditates, and pens the occasional poem. Her articles and poetry have appeared in numerous publications, including the acclaimed anthology Some Women (Ed. Laura Antoniou, 1997).

Sometimes labeled the Johnny Appleseed of S&M, Nancy once roamed the land creating S&M/fetish support groups. Today—still in the sex biz, as founder/owner of People Exchanging Power—she describes herself as the proud grandmother of a retired Navy man.

About the Book – PERVERT


In her introduction, Nancy Ava Miller claims to have written a book about how she could not write a book about her life in the sex industry.

In so doing, she nevertheless documents the heart of the B&D/S&M netherworld as it existed for many in the 1980s and 90s—the desperation, the obsession, the passion, the gathering together of kinky souls in back alley clubs and support networks, the intimacy, the love, and her own sexual odyssey.

“Nancy’s description of her self-appointed and self-assumed task of forming a support organization, replete with meetings, personalities and organization successes and failures, makes me wonder, ‘Where has something like this been all my life?’” – Bob Richter (Writer, Publisher)

PERVERT was recently nominated for a National Leather Association Writing Award!

An excerpt from PERVERT

From “A Brief Moment in Time: One Recollection of Sexual Domination”
by Nancy Ava Miller

If a person could “go gay” and if I thus decided to do so, Cassie would be the girl I would choose. She’s tall but not too tall with a boyish build—small breasts, slim hips, long lanky legs and arms; and though she’s in her midthirties, she resembles a teenager. Her face, young and fresh, requires no makeup. In fact, makeup might be a detriment for one with skin so clean and eyes possessing a play of light deep inside the pupils, the type of light that earmarks one as intelligent. And indeed, Cassie is intelligent. She even boasts a PhD to prove it.

But it is not so much the sweet looks and erudition that attracts me. In addition to those attributes, Cassie is a slut who craves pain in various forms (the whip, the hot wax upon her nipples) and who’ll readily widen her thighs to accept a dildo or some fluttering fingertips or, for that matter, a fist or dick up her cunt or ass. And because of this—her slutlike nature—it was easy, back in 1990 when I myself became a professional dominatrix, to recruit Cassie when I needed a submissive female for an S&M rendezvous. READ MORE…

Meet Nancy THIS WEEKEND!

Friday April 1, 7pm
Book Reading & Signing: PERVERT
with Nancy Ava Miller

Join Nancy Ava Miller for an intimate book reading and reminiscence of the BDSM Scene of the 1980s and 1990s. Her new book, PERVERT documents (via paragraphs, poems, and pictures) the heart of the B&D/S&M netherworld as it existed for many in the 1980′s and 90′s—the desperation, the obsession, the passion, the gathering together of kinky souls in back alley clubs and support networks, the intimacy, the love … This workshop is FREE, but is limited to fifteen persons. Please reserve a FREE ticket online by clicking the event title.

Saturday, April 2nd, 4-6pm
MARKETING YOU! The Best Ways to Describe
Your Goals, Your Kink, Yourself
with Nancy Ava Miller

Learn to write a comprehensive, attractive, honest self profile, plus a similar condensed “advertisement.” Learn what makes up both a good and not so good profile. Through meditation, learn to transcend to your inner core of quiet tranquility and creative intelligence, then jot out (on cards) two self descriptions—one long, the other abbreviated. The cards will be exchanged, read aloud, and gently reviewed during further group exchange.  Note: If you miss the advance sale deadline for online tickets, please call Sexploratorium 215-923-1398 after 12 noon to register via telephone the day of the workshop (same day tickets cost $10 more).

Saturday April 2nd, 7-9PM
Power, Control, and Love: Erotic Hypnosis for Masters and Slaves
with Nancy Ava Miller

Using submissive volunteers, Nancy Ava Miller (a certified clinical hypnotherapist and teacher of TM, Transcendental Meditation) will demonstrate how a slave can become more acquiescent, malleable, and obedient for the adored master, and thus how—through Transcendental Meditation—the Master can harness subtle yet powerful control over the beloved slave. Group discussion will focus on the possibilities hypnosis offers for an intimate dominant/submissive relationship. And, by the bye, might the master use meditative techniques to exercise greater control over their own life, thereby strengthening their role as dominant? Workshop includes printed material regarding hypnosis and dominant/submissive love relationships. Note: If you miss the advance sale deadline for online tickets, please call Sexploratorium 215-923-1398 after 12 noon to register via telephone the day of the workshop (same day tickets cost $10 more).

Thank you!

Sexploratorium Talks with Buck Angel!

Posted in Celebrity Sex, Male Room, PASSION 101, Sexual Healing, Trans Toolbox, Video Peeps on February 17, 2011 by Brooklyn

Porn Pioneer Buck Angel is teaching two classes at the Sexploratorium this weekend, and although both are sold out, we know that you all wanted to hear from the man himself! Sexploratorium staffer Brooklyn sat down with Buck to talk about sex, porn (fluffers!), and MORE! Didn’t manage to get your ticket to the class? Tune in to Temple Student Radio’s LGBTQ show, Spin My Head, on Friday 5-7pm to hear an interview with Buck, recorded on site at the Sexploratorium! All you have to do is click on the “LISTEN” link at the top left!

How long have you been working in the adult industry, and how did it come about?

Well I have been working in the industry for more than 10 years. I started behind the scenes doing camera work and editing. I was partners with a Pro Domme and we had a studio in downtown Los Angeles. We would shoot her scenes and make fetish videos. I also worked with a Transsexual woman adult star, That is how I got the idea to start my own films and website, There was no one making FTM (transsexual female to male) porn for the mainstream adult industry.

What is your favorite part about your work as  an award-winning porn star?

I would say meeting so many great people and changing the way the world views sexuality and gender. I think my work has really opened peoples minds around what it means to be a man or woman and what it means to be gay, straight or bi. That labels are not necessary if you are happy with who you are. This has been such a rewarding part of my work.

You’ve appeared on shows like ‘Howard Stern’ and ‘Tyra Banks’, as well as answering questions from your fans online. Is it ever problematic to have your sex life and your sexuality be public knowledge?

No not at all. I knew what I was getting into when I decided to go “public” way back when. I actually enjoy being open and honest about myself. For so many years I was in hiding with this and it feels very freeing to be able to not care what people think of you. It is very powerful. If you watched my interview with Tyra Banks you can see how I made her uncomfortable when I asked her “Don’t you love your Vagina?” It was very strange how she reacted so negatively like she should not love her Vagina.

(We were unable to find the video on YouTube, but we did find it on a Queer blog and news site, Queerty. Check out Tyra’s reaction when asked how she feels about her vagina.)


Are there ever any questions or statements from the media that make you mad or uncomfortable?
Not really, I always expect the worst so I go prepared. I realized that what I am doing is teaching the world about something they have no idea about so I must expect that they will ask me questions that seem dumb or inappropriate.
What about from the public?
The thing is that I make people uncomfortable because my message is saying that we have all been taught something wrong. That sexuality and gender is not that simple. People do not like that. They want everything to fit in a box and it really doesn’t. So because of that they lash out at me in anger which makes them say mean things to me. A good example is my YouTube channel. Go check out the comments on my videos. It will shock you how crazy people get and the things they say. Just from me making some videos that open peoples minds.
Is there anything that happens on a porn set that most people wouldn’t expect, or that you didn’t expect when you first started out? In other words, how is filming a movie different from what people think? For example: “fluffers”…is that something that actually happens?
Hahaa! Totally. The filming process is so different then what people think, First the work that goes into casting and setting up location, camera all of that is pretty crazy. Then the actual shoot day can be pretty chaotic. Sometimes talent can get a bit nervous and not be able to perform. Which can cause the filming process to take much longer than expected. But besides all of that it can also be very fun and a great time, It really just depends on that day so really you never know. I have never used a “fluffer” though they do exist.
(From Wikipedia: A fluffer is a hired member of the crew of a pornographic movie whose role on the set is to sexually arouse the male participants prior to the filming of scenes that require erections. Fluffers do not necessarily touch the actors. Commonly, they keep adult film stars “cleaned up” in between takes so that the actors do not have to move from their positions. These duties are considered part of the makeup department. After setting up the desired angle, the director asks the actors to hold position and calls for the fluffer to “fluff” the actors for the shot.)


How is working as a porn star in general different from what people expect? How does it change the way your friends, family, or the public perceives you?
I have been very lucky in that all of my friends and family have been totally accepting of my career choice. Mostly I think because they see it as more than just “porn” but something that is helping to shape the way people look at different forms of sexuality and gender, That is is also a teaching tool and that my films have influenced so many people in a positive way. Also that I have crossed over from my porn work into education has really helped me to gain a different kind of respect.
Do you think that working in porn and sex education has changed your views on sex and relationships? If so, how? Is your sex life different now than it was before?
Possibly a little. But I think I have always had pretty good views about sex, That is why I started working in that industry. The educational part has really helped me to feel a need to spread a message of empowerment that I don’t think only my porn work has the capabilities of doing. There are people who will not take me serious if I am just a porn star. So educating has also made me look at my own self a bit more. Yes my sex life is way different than it was 10 years ago. That is because I have accepted my vagina. That was a huge part of sexual growth for me. It was like I became a whole new person. It opened up so many more sexual possibilities I never thought possible.
Your “Public Cervix Announcements” encourage trans folks to maintain their “plumbing”, but is there anything different that you do for your sexual health now that you didn’t do before you started porn, specifically? Is it true that there are mandated STI tests, and how does that work?

I have always been very good about my health around my transition. I felt it extremely necessary in order to make it work. When i started the transition it was 20 years ago and there was no information, So my doctors were all starting from scratch. They were amazing in the sense that they taught me about maintaining my health around the use of testosterone. Like blood tests and going to the gyno (which was very hard for me because I was so detached from my vagina at the time). The reason I made that specific PSA is because I know many trans men have the same problem of not feeling comfortable and also many of them do not have good health practices around the use of the testosterone. That is very bad and I think my voice can help to change that.

One of the great things about the adult industry is the testing. You are supposed to show up on set with a test, Some companies don’t enforce this of course but many do. I ONLY do safe sex in my films but I still like to see the test.  You basically have to get tested for any STDs. It is a great practice to have especially if you are not using condoms.
Do you think that being a trans porn star is different from being a cis gendered porn star?

Yes in the sense that I have a totally different fan base and the way people view my work. But I don’t think the job is any different.

Do you think that being a trans man in porn is different from being a trans woman?
Again totally different markets and the trans woman market is so big, There really is not a market for what I do, I don’t even think that it is a niche just yet.
The Sexploratorium carries a lot of products for trans men: binders, packers, and STP devices. What kinds of experiences have you had using any of these products? Are there some that you prefer to others, or tips you have for folks that want to use them but aren’t sure where to start?
I used to pack many years ago with a sock!! That’s before the packers came out. But then I accepted myself and never had the need for those things again. Not to say that they are great for guys who need that. Also when I needed to bind I used duct tape and a undershirt. I don’t use any of these products so I cannot recommend. I even taught myself how to stand and pee. I think the best bet for them is to go to forums and ask guys who do use them. Maybe you should start a forum on your site just for those products.
What other kinds of toys do you like? Any particular style of strap-on that you love? Any dildo or vibe companies that you can’t get enough of? Any lube that you have to have?
I am actually in the process of producing my own toy line as I have not been truly satisfied with what I have used. I have used the realistic cock by Doc Johnson for many years and it was fine , But it was missing something, So I finally found a great company to work with that will be producing my very own “Buck Angel Cock” specially designed for trans men and women. I am also producing an amazing line of glass toys that I showed at the last AVN show in vegas and everyone loved them. I really like Liquid Silk as a lube.
(Liquid Silk is probably our best-selling and most requested lube! Sexploratorium staffers and customers alike love this viscous and long-lasting water-based lubricant, as well as its organic equivalent Sliquid Organics Silk!)
What about kink? You’re a very sex-positive guy, and many of your photos have Leather imagery, so are you into BDSM? If so, are there any kinky toys or activities that you think are especially sexy?
Yes I am into the leather scene though it is not my only sexual outlet. I enjoy all kinds of sex play but I have always been drawn to the mens leather scene from early on. I love leather,cigars,boots. Very masculine areas of play. I also really love rough play.
Have you had a chance to check out Philly’s Queer or Leather scenes? How do you think the scenes here compare to other cities you’ve been to, like L.A. or NYC?
Actually sadly to say no I have not. It has been pretty busy while here doing business stuff and not a lot of time for play. But maybe before I leave I will get a chance to check the scene out. Though I did take a walk around the city and it is very beautiful.

Sexploratorium would like to thank Buck for coming to spread his sex-positive message to Philly! He’s been absolutely wonderful to work with, and we really look forward to his classes this weekend! Buck will also be bringing a nice selection of his videos with him, available for sale at the store!

Trans Tools!

Posted in Harness the power!, PASSION 101, Trans Toolbox on February 17, 2011 by Brooklyn

There aren’t a lot stores out there that sell specialized toys and health products for trans folks, even in a city as diverse as Philadelphia. Well, fortunately, we’re not like a lot of other stores. The Sexploratorium is proud to support the trans community of Philadelphia, by sponsoring events, putting on classes (like this weekend’s classes with Buck Angel), and carrying the products you need!

In our most recent PASSIONAL Blog entry, we discussed specialized attire for our trans customers. But there are even more products in our inventory at The Sexploratorium.

 

When customers come into our store, they often notice our selection of packers. They’ll usually ask, “Why do you have flaccid fake penises?” Once we tell them, it makes perfect sense to them, but it’s understandably confusing for first time visitors. Packers are molded after flaccid male anatomy, designed to be worn by transmasculine people to create a bulge in their underwear or pants so that they present as more male-bodied. One of our favorites is from VixSkin. They already make amazingly lifelike silicone strap-ons, and their packer really is “Mr. Right“. Silicone means that you can disinfect the packer whenever you need to, and it’s totally clean!

 

Mr. Right Packer by VixSkin

 

———

One of the easiest ways to comfortably wear a packer without feeling it slide or shift around is by using a harness, but not every harness is created equal. Though leather harnesses are beautiful (and we do love leather!), using a Spare Parts JOQUE harness can be easier, more comfortable under clothing, and considerably easier to care for!

 

Spare Parts JOQUE Harness

 

The original JOQUE harness is quite simply the most innovative product of its kind available anywhere. Designed to be the ultimate in comfort and versatility, the Joque is crafted in your choice of multi-layered Nylon or Poly-Spandex and lined with soft, sensual mesh to provide breathability for blissful all-day wear. Created with flexibility in mind, our patented design easily adapts to your unique size and shape, becoming a virtual “second skin” to provide maximum pleasure for both the wearer and the receiver. Best of all, the unique, stretchable elastic o-ring fits a wide variety of toys, including doubles, providing a full range of erotic options for you and your partner. Enjoying packing? The Joque is the best harness available for packing enthusiasts! Want to play in the water? No problem! The Joque is ideal for the shower, bathtub, spa, or wherever your imagination takes you.

When you’re done playing, the Joque can be hand or machine washed and is both sanitary and fully hygienic for greater health. Ethically created by hand in the U.S., the Joque harness is also Vegan friendly! Comes complete with an attractive satin pouch and an unbeatable quality guarantee from SpareParts HardWear. The original Joque Harness…there’s nothing else like it!

———

And last, but certainly not least, we are one of the only stores in Philadelphia to carry stand-to-pee (STP) devices, namely the pStyle. The pStyle is a plastic device that allows you to pee standing up without undressing. It is a simple design that works exceptionally well. The pStyle is easy to position properly and the rounded edges are very comfortable. Because it is made of rigid plastic, the pStyle is easily maneuvered into the clothes you are wearing. The rounded back edge can be used to wipe with so there are no drips! It is easy to clean by shaking vigorously or rinsing. We even have special carrying cases available for pStyle! Just use, rinse, slip it in the pouch, and you’re on your way! If you want to stand up to pee like any other guy, the pStyle makes it easy!

 

 

The pStyle in all six colors!

 

 

PASSIONAL and the Sexploratorium are here to do whatever we can to make your life better, happier, and sexier!
