On 23-34 October, the Cow Palace in San Francisco will host the 30th Annual Exotic Erotic Ball.   The event is a celebration of everything erotic and will bring together live music, erotic performers, 20 burlesque acts and over 100 vendors of erotic paraphernalia.  The show has increased in size over the last few years and is now a key event on the erotica calendar.

Here is a taster of some of this year’s acts: Coolio, Rebecca’s Rubber Room, Men of Exotica, Seymore Butts, Tila Tequila, Pricasso – the Penis Painter (seriously…) and the Human Petting Zoo.

Tickets are on sale now, so get them while they’re hot!

Some people do, some people don’t.   So when it comes to putting your photo online, should you go naked or not?  On an adult dating site, people tend to be just looking for one thing… But are you helping get what you want with a naked photo?  The answer is yes… and no.

There’s more psychology involved in this than you would think.  It comes down, as many things do, to the difference between guys and gals.  It also comes down to the individual and how “out there” they are with their sexuality.

For guys, who are much more visually stimulated, a naked image girl is a pretty quick way to get him turned on.  So as a rule, a naked photo of a girl is going to get you more attention.  No argument there.

But there’s another way to look at it.  Think of it like Christmas.  If you know exactly what you’re gonna get for Christmas, are you going to get the same excitement when you finally unwrap your goodies?!  Men enjoy the thrill of the chase and the build up.  So if girls don’t want to put it all out there immediately, a suggestive shot, even a mild cleavage shot can turn a guy on while keeping the thrill of the chase intact.

For girls, there is a pretty clear split in what they find attractive in a guy.  Let’s face it, God didn’t make male genitalia with beauty in mind!!  So just a photo of male genitalia won’t turn on a good proportion of women on and can actively turn off a lot of women.

When you ask women what first attracts them to a guy, you’ll get a huge range of answers.  For some it’s a nice smile, for others still it could be kind eyes or a smart suit, and yes for some it could be a big c*ck.  Maybe you’re lucky and you have a nice smile, kind eyes, a smart suit AND a big c*ck!  The point is, if all a girl has to go on is male genitalia, you’re not necessarily putting your best foot (or other appendage) forward.

A good article over at MyNippon here about lingerie’s place in seduction of men.  As men are so much more visual when it comes to sex and dating, a little lingerie can go a long way.

The article points out that the way to have lingerie work its magic is to combine it with a little shock-therapy.  Their examples are specific to men and women who are already in a relationship, but I think that it applies just as well to the adult dating scene.

“The one we selected from our group involves calling him at work and suggesting that you eat out since you are too tired to cook, as you will be late at work.  Use the time that you get to go home and change.  The suggested outfit is a  sheer top.  Put on a jacket so that he will not know what you are up to.  Once you are seated in the restaurant, open your jacket to give him a peek.  In case he does not order you to go home (or actually ends up complimenting you), take it off completely and let the show begin.  Most men are highly turned on when their partner can literally ‘stop the  traffic.’”

Take note, ladies.  Never underestimate the power of lingerie!

A new dating show in the UK has got me wondering whether this is a new low or a new high for reality TV…  The show is called “Dating in the dark” and no, I’m not making this up!  The idea is that a guy and a girl meet for the first time in complete darkness – experiencing a literal blind date.

Only when the date is finished and they’ve worked out how well they get on, does the girl actually get to see what the guy looks like.  A spotlight is shined on the guy, so she can see him, but he can’t see her.  And her reaction to seeing what he looks like is filmed through a night-vision camera.  But to give the show a cruel twist, they pair up attractive looking females with slightly below-par guys, so the girl is typically disgusted with the guys looks.  Ouch.

Cue soul-crushing rejection on behalf of the guys, as girls re-discover, and if it were ever forgotten, that looks are kinda important.  Check out the TV review here in the UK newspaper The Guardian.
