I've heard that it's basically an anti-depressant, so - very different than the male version of viagra, which creates an obvious physical reaction.
I'm a bit torn on the idea of female viagra if it's mostly a mood booster. Like I can understand a woman taking a pill or suppository because she's dry or menopausal and things are changing in the vag and this leads her to not want to have sex as often anymore, because it's not as pleasurable.
I wonder if - while acting as anti-depressant, this female viagra might be more about a placebo effect, or function as a way to open up dialogue between partners and force them to actually talk about their sex lives - what's lacking, what needs to change etc.
I think women who get older often get turned off to sex for reasons that aren't functional/physical... it could be that she doesn't feel sexy anymore, she went into hardcore 'mommy/child-rearing' mode, her body has changed and she's lost confidence, her man isn't valuing her or 'seducing' her anymore etc. A pill wouldn't solve any of this. Better communication might, however, and maybe the discussion about getting a prescription for the pill or taking it and expecting to feel more 'sexual' and turned on might work wonders with improving a woman's sex life if she's lost a bit of the thrill for it over the years.
As with all drugs, some people will find them to be very effective (for whatever the reason), and if it improves someone's sex life, I'm all for it. Would I personally try it if I found my libido chronically slipping and was older - not sure - I'd have to do more research. It would definitely be a last-resort sort of thing for me though.

Has anyone tried the Glamglow Cleansers?
I broke down after trying a sample of Thirstycleanse and bought the bottle and omg - it's true love. My favourite cleanser ever. It has this really nice subtle coconut water scent (same as the mask) and it cleans so well but still hydrates and somehow soothes skin at the same time.
I ordered Youthcleanse over the weekend to try because it's my favourite Glamglow mask. It's supposed to be exfoliating as well - so I don't think I'll be using it every day. I'd love to try the other two, but I've heard their corresponding cleanser to the white-jar mask (Supercleanse) is pretty intense and can be a little drying.
I love this youtube video - purely because the girl's voice is so bubblegum and fun. Of course, now I'll have to wait for SereneProdigy to read this and shatter my high by telling me that he was able to concoct the exact same cleanser from raw materials and organic compounds he bought wholesale for just pennies a pump and I totally just wasted $40.

I just saw the new photo of Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner). I think she looks fantastic!
Transitioning to a woman at that stage in life and being constantly in the media eye can't have been easy and I'm a big fan of the way this was handled.
While I have heard some criticism from the Transgender community about whether Bruce Jenner could be considered a 'role model', I've always thought this would be very positive in bringing more awareness to the struggles of Transgenders, especially those on the cusp of a transition.
Beautiful photos!

I got a small bottle of this recently - this is a great evening scent or something I'm going to be breaking out to wear in the fall/winter. It has notes of coffee, vanilla, orange blossom and cedarwood. I'm really liking it so far.

I've heard about this. It can range from giving more subtle waist-definition all the way up to serious fetish level (which is scary).
I don't mind the (moderate) corset look on occasion, but I'm not a major fan of the style. And certainly wearing something like this 24/7 with slow tightening over time definitely doesn't appeal. In a way, I feel like this is kind of cheating exercise and fitness by creating an illusion and slowly forcing your ribcage into submission.
Even at a lower basic level with proper corset tightening (not just wearing it for fashion), there has to be an element of fetish involved because of the pain and breathing impairment and I guess it may serve as a 'diet aid' because I imagine it would require proper portion control as well.
I just think it does way more damage with long-term use than is worth it - organs shifting, ribs compressed etc.
If someone wants to wear it as a fashion statement or to try to create that short-term illusion (like a more extreme bodyshaper garment), then whatever works, right? Having said that, I'm definitely staying away from this trend - it's not for me.

This is one of my favourite make-up purchases this spring.
The 'Dior Cheek and Lip Glow' - It looks really bright but it actually goes on super sheer and has this really nice moisturizing gel consistency. It's one of those 'colour reveal technologies' where it adjusts to the moisture in your skin. Those types of products can be hit or miss for me, but this one is just right - not like Tarte's cheek stain, which comes out like 'neon pink clown' on me.
I usually use the Benetint line in the summer but I find those harder to blend out without streaks or ending up with more colour than I wanted. This Dior one is perfect and pretty much goof-proof. Plus the bottle is so damn cute.

Great review! That looks like a really good one - UR3 is the best and I like how flexible it is.

I'm not a guy, but I have to give my two-cents here because I asked a vaguely similar question when I first came to Lush, and 98% of guys were like "oh yeah, nothing would bother me - I'm very sexually open". Keep in mind that the demographic on Lush is a bit skewed when it comes to sex-positive sexuality. There are fewer here that will wag their fingers at such things or start getting moral about it. That's not necessarily what you'd experience with a wider sampling of guys from different walks of life.
My advice would be to take cues from the guy you're with. Does he like to hear about your exes or crazy sexual experiences from your past? (not numbers, but specific experiences like a threesome or crazy vacation sex or something really dirty that you tried once or twice). If he likes hearing details like that, and sharing them himself, then he probably isn't going to have an issue with your past. If he doesn't like to talk about such things, I would be far more conservative as to how many details you give him. You don't want him to be one of those guys that considers it a dealbreaker OR a guy that will bring it up and use it against you when you get into fights later in the relationship or when you're going through a rough patch. Some things aren't worth the risk.
I know it's disappointing to not be able to share everything. I've been through two boyfriends like that myself that had no interest in hearing anything detailed related to sex before them. Some people are just like that (both guys and girls). Don't think of it as being deceptive, because you're not. That was your life before him, and certainly before you slowed things down over the past couple of years. Some things are ok to keep private. In this case, knowing your past may make him fear what would happen if you go off the medication at some point or if he's been cheated on and hurt in the past - this may be a trigger for him to make him feel insecure or mistrustful. It's hard to predict exactly how he'd react but you know him best - if you're feeling hesitations or seeing red flags, I would stay quiet. I've never thought actual numbers are 'must confess' material anyway.

Doll's a whimp. All i had to do was give her 'the raised eyebrow' every time she slowed down.
I credit it more to the fangirling and pom-poms. You do make the best naked cheerleader. That high kick, though... You know i like it to hurt just a little.

Sex - definitely.
I take the "L" word pretty seriously and don't really throw it around prematurely. It would take many months to really fall in love, and not just fall in lust or get giddy off the high of maybe having found a life-changing connection.
I think when you're connecting or in the stages of falling in love, you can't really hold back and that includes physical/sexual expression as well as the emotional. I prefer things to happen naturally - they're more authentic that way. At least then you know it means something when you say it and isn't something you're tricking yourself into believing just so you can finally get to the dirty.

I'll go with Brad Pitt. He's classic.
Like another poster, however, I'd probably bump him out of bed for Leonardo DiCaprio.
Double bumps for Chris Hemsworth.
Or maybe there's room in bed for all four of us.
Wait, what was the question again??

Wow, guys, thank you so much... I know a couple of you that I talked to leading up to (and just after) I posted my story know that I almost didn't submit this one. It definitely ate up crazy hours/weeks and I'd left it pretty late in the comp. By the time I submitted, I was so deep in the zone that I couldn't even tell if it was good or bad anymore. 
Special thanks to Sprite for kicking my ass and making sure I fulfilled our 'call out' to enter the comp. This win does mean a lot. 'Hardcore' is near and dear to my heart as far as Lush categories go, and there were so many fantastic entries. The level of writing on this site is off the charts. Congrats to Emilia, Jake, everyone in the top ten and really - everyone that entered. You should all be very proud!

The bridal shop employee and former Mormon Sunday school teacher slipped into the bathroom at one point, where she had sex with an 18-year-old guest, and then claimed she was still "horny" and proceeded to bring out some sex toys and use them in the living room in front of the group.
The teens kept the party going in the hot tub, before Lehnardt passed out in her bed, according to the police report. Lehnardt is a recovering alcoholic, who confessed her actions to her sponsor. The sponsor then reported what she said to the police.
Around 3:30 a.m. Lehnardt claims she woke up to find her daughter's 16-year-old boyfriend having sex with her.
"Her daughter 'felt guilty' because the 16-year-old['s penis] was 10-inches long and huge, and if she had been able to take it, he wouldn't have needed to her mother," the sponsor said.
Currently, the teen is not facing charges as no evidence has been found supporting this claim.
The daughter felt 'guilty' because her 16 yr old BF had such a huge dick etc. Omg... this story.

There is a company called "VixSkin" that makes silicone dildos that has the skinner models. They are amazing and I strongly recommend them.
Thank you! I've heard of that brand before - I'll check them out.

I've gone off/on with the regularity of running over the years.
I also have chondromalacia patella and an old knee injury. I've had two surgeries on my right knee, starting at age 18 to clean up the surface of the patella and to prevent further damage.
I've just started getting back into running again this year. I do use a variety of supports for my knee when running (eg. K-tape, strap, sleeve) and I'm careful with how far I push things and try to keep to level/even running surfaces.
I'm not a 'serious runner' by any means, but I really do enjoy it, especially for being able to switch things up after long winters stuck in the gym and studio.

I saw some bits on the news about this - including a cruise ship that got stranded in the storm because the port in Sydney was closed. It looked pretty scary.
So happy to hear Gav and his family are safe!

To those who own this dildo: would you consider the girth appropriate for anal?
The 6-inch Doc Johnson is (for me) quite large for anal. It's quite thick. I have done it a couple of times, but only after a lot of sex and a lot of lube. The positives are that it's soft and feels fairly realistic. I really wish that D.C. made this same model of dildo, but a skinny version - then it would be pretty perfect. If anyone knows if something like this exists, let me know. But yeah... not gonna lie - you do need to do a decent amount of prep work if you're considering it for anal.
