Wine Saver

If you like wine, but don’t want to finish the entire bottle each time you open it, check out the 3-botle wine saver. I have fiddled around with several different type of caps and corks, but none of them really seem to prolong the life of a bottle of wine once it has been opened. The reason is because the wine comes into contact with oxygen. If you want to prolong the shelf-life of wine, you have to remove the oxygen. That is what the wine saver does. It replaces the dispensed wine with argon, an inert gas that does not interact with the wine.

Why Women Should Embrace Porn

From DivineCaroline

By: Kat Wilder

I will state this right from the start: I am a fan of porn.

I like watching it. I don’t think it’s degrading to women or men or animals or inanimate objects. I believe adults have the right to watch it or not, and I don’t want anyone telling me that I can’t or shouldn’t or that I’m sick or perverted for liking it or watching it. I don’t mind if my lover watches it; I’ll watch it with him.

I know I’m not alone in this—!—but I am getting the feeling (well, I’m reading lots of comments on blogs) that porn is the root of all that’s wrong in relationships. And they are getting validation from people like Dr. Phil, whose Web site states:

It is not OK behavior. It is a perverse and ridiculous intrusion into your relationship. It is an insult, it is disloyal and it is cheating.

Clearly something is ridiculous and perverse, but it’s not porn.

A lot of women feel very conflicted about porn, and that conflict manifests itself in some interesting ways:

• Some women think it’s cheating if their husband or boyfriend watches porn.
• Some women are jealous because, thinking they could never have the “perfect” bodies of the porn stars, they feel they are constantly being compared with that perfection.
• Some women believe that they can’t satisfy their partner like a porn star could, or that somehow they are expected to act like a porn star.
• Some women are horrified to suddenly discover porn on their partner’s computer.
• Some women think that it’s disrespectful to them if their partner likes to look at porn.
• Some women think that there’s something wrong with them, and that’s why their partner watches porn.
• Some women know their boyfriends watch porn before they get married, but they marry him anyway and then they wonder—why is he still watching porn?

To all of that I say, porn is not the problem. Just because someone likes looking at naked bodies exchanging bodily fluids does not make him a pervert, disrespectful, an infidel, disinterested in his lover or dissatisfied with his lover. It makes him human. It’s about fantasy, imagination, desire, lust. And what, please tell me, is wrong with that? Most men (women, too) can separate fantasy from reality. Do you think Jenna Jameson is going to fly off the screen and do to him what she’s doing onscreen? Not a chance, and he doesn’t think so, either. And if you believe he thinks so … either you’re sorely underestimating his intelligence or you need to ask yourself, what in the world is a smart gal like you doing with a fool like him?

And, quite honestly, look at all the nudity in the movies and on cable TV—is Tell Me You Love Me any less pornographic because it has a plot line?

If you truly believe your lover is expecting you to look or act like a porn star, do you ask him if that’s so? And if you don’t think he’ll tell you the truth, or if he tells you the truth but you still don’t believe him, well, what’s that about?

Do you ask him, “Is there anything in that porn that you’d like us to try?”—and would you be willing to do it?

Do you ask him what is it about porn that he likes?

Or do you just tell him to stop?

If you accidentally find porn on his computer, well, were you snooping around in places you shouldn’t? If so, that’s just as dishonest as him hiding it.

When you watch porn (and you should, especially if you have some sort of judgment about it—there’s no other way to understand it), what exactly is it that you object to? Are you projecting your own insecurities or messages of shame from your childhood onto it?

If you truly believe that you can’t compete with a porn star, do you just stop at that or do you ask yourself, what can I do to make sex more exciting for me and my partner; how can I increase my pleasure and his?

If you’re the kind of woman who thinks your partner’s watching porn because there’s something wrong with you, do you also think there’s something wrong with your cooking if he likes to eat out or that there’s something wrong with your DVD/TV set-up if he likes to go to the movies or that there’s something wrong with your driving if he wants to drive? Is it always about you?

If you’re so in love with him that you want to marry him and spend the rest of your life together and you don’t like porn, have you had an honest conversation with him about that? If he says he likes it, would you marry him anyway knowing that this is something you find distasteful and disrespectful?

The problem, of course, isn’t porn itself. If something, anything, is done in secret, in excess, if it’s somehow compromising the relationship, well, then there’s a problem—just as if you were dealing with alcohol or drugs or gambling or even a golf addiction. If anything involves deception and you can’t talk about it openly and honestly and it’s reducing intimacy in the relationship instead of enhancing it (and porn can enhance it), it’s just like any other addiction. (And all addicts have enablers and co-dependents, and if your man is spending hours and hours in front of the computer or TV jacking off to Reign of Tera, you might want to look into whatever role—however small—you might be playing in that).

But you guys don’t get off the hook, because many of you (from what I read and hear) are spending way more time in some sort of fantasyland instead of the real world of flesh and lips and touch and smell. If you’re really giving all that up to watch instead of experience, why aren’t you working on making your real-life sex wonderful and exciting?

So, I will ask the men this, so beautifully put by columnist Mark Morford last year (he was talking about online porn viewing at work, but it’s the same for your porn habits in general):

“… If you have that much to hide, if you are living some sort of secret and embarrassing and family-endangering double life, if you are constantly burying images and hiding data or altering your persona to the point of endangering your work, if you cannot let someone, say, cruise through your personal sex-toy box without massive blushing and fainting and humiliation, perhaps you’re living the wrong kind of life. You think?”

Not that I have any opinion about it or anything …

Everything You Thought About Sex Is Wrong

Ala , originally uploaded by SuicideGirls.

For years everything that you have seen, heard and been told about sex is wrong and has twisted your sense of reality. You have been taught not to talk about sex. It is shameful. You shouldn’t explore your body or desires. Well I am here to tell you that it has all been a load of crap, custom wrapped and delivered to you in many forms over the years.

We here at Zinlightened.com are here to help you break out of this sexual funk! We want you to embrace your body, ideas and desires. If you don’t know how to please yourself, how are you going to please someone else? You’ll just walk around, day-after-day, frustrated and ill-tempered.

• Stop holding back – Ladies, all to often you go unsatisfied out of fear that you’ll shock your partner or make them feel inadequate. Then you sit there at the end of another boring, de rigueur, missionary fuzz-bumping unsatisfied. If you like your hair pulled and fanny slapped by someone dressed as Mr. Rogers, you better let someone know or it’s not going to happen.
• Sex does get better with age – At some point in your life, you are going to stop being insecure about your body and start to venture out. Embrace it. Sex beats jogging any day. A good 30 min bout will burn about 85 calories and if you do it right, is better on the knees. If you want to live longer, “get busy.”
• Sex relives stress and lowers blood pressure – Stress creates all sorts of problems in the body.
  
• Sex reduces pain – Sexy release oxcytocin. Oh, so you have a headache tonight… to show you that I care let me help out out there a little bit. If you want to get rid of that headache, PMS, arthritis or backache, [as Eddie Murphy says] start f*cking Norton. Humana, Humana, Humana
• Sex helps you sleep better – No more sleeping pills, fewer pills are better for the body and bank account
• Sex makes you feel good about yourself - I’m hot, sexy and funny, and gosh darn it, people like me
  

As Sheryl Crows says, “If it make you happy, it can’t be that bad!” there are far too many uptight people in this world. Don’t be one of them. I feel like I’m on a George Carlin homage.

A Timless Classical Men’s Cologne

A large part of being “Zinightened” is setting yourself apart from the crowd. Currently, the number one selling men’s cologne has been Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani. A fine fragrance to be sure, but when everyone is wearing the same fragrance, you blend in…

In 1979 Hermes introduced Eau D’Orange Verte. It is a Unisex Fragrance, although it tends to lean toward the masculine side. Eau D’Orange Verte is a stimulating, energetic and extremely refreshing fragrance. Eau d’Orange Verte by Hermes is a celebration of citruses and exotic fruits blended with mint and woods.

There is something very classy about Eau d’Orange Verte; like Christian Dior’s Eau Sauvage or Guerlain’s Vetiver. It is the perfect summer refresher, and like almost any perfect summer refresher, its one drawback is its relatively poor staying power. A bit of the mossy woods lingers for hours, but the fun part is over in about an hour or so. Hermès ought to make a 15 ml travel spray but they don’t; there are, however, individually wrapped pochettes or towelettes in Eau d’Orange Verte, and they are perfect to carry with you on a hot summer day for a little pick-me-up

Feel Sexy All of the Time

Want to constantly feel sexy throughout the day?

Below are several great tips from HappyHer to make you feel sexy all day long!

Having a magnificent lingerie wardrobe leaves a woman feeling like a goddess. But if you just leave it in your closet, or put it on for your weekly “hot date” night, it’s not doing you the service it could be doing. Here are some ideas of what you can do to make the most of your lingerie wardrobe.

1. Underwear as outerwear. Creating a professional look and maintaining your own style of sensual pleasure is easy when you add a silky camisole under a suit jacket. Bustiers look great for club wear or evening wear with a skirt or even a sexy pair of jeans. Grab a teddy to wear under that low cut sweater, you’ll look great and feel so sexy! Ultra mini skirts are sexy fun to wear over a pair of leggings and will work for many occasions. Go through your closet and see how you can mix and match different pieces of lingerie with jeans, skirts, business suits, or leggings to create a unique sexy style all on your own.

2. Step out of character. If you normally wear silk and lace, go bold with leather and/or vinyl. You’ll feel risque’ and dangerous. Or, if you typically wear fetish or edgy wear, try out a silky chemise or an elaborately embroidered bustier. You’ll feel so feminine and alluring. Changing your style will help bring out other levels of the luscious woman you truly are.

3. Tantalize your partner when you are getting ready to leave the house by walking around in your favorite lingerie. Even if that isn’t the same lingerie you will end up wearing, it only takes a moment to do a very hot “walk through” to leave your partner’s mouth open and his mind on how sexy you looked for the rest of the evening.

4. Keep it on! You don’t always have to be stark naked in order to have wild and steamy sex. For an erotic eye-candy treat, leave some of your lingerie on. Thigh highs and high heels are some of my favorite, or a bustier and nothing else but your smile will be super hot as well.

5. Bag it! Get two lingerie outfits out. One that’s totally wild and one that’s a bit on the tame side. Put them in two separate gift bags. Let your lover pick a bag, and you wear whatever one is picked!

6. Leave lingerie out on your bed or in the bathroom so your lover will get a peek of what you will be wearing later. They will be thinking of it all day!

7. Tuck a panty or thong in with your partner’s suitcase while they are planning to be away on business. Spritz some of your favorite fragrance on it along with a sexy note of what you want to do when they come home!

8. Don’t forget the bodystockings! Bodystockings go under everything and if you buy the ones with an open bust and open crotch, you don’t have to take them off for your sexiest time of the day. Wear them under a conservative outfit and then surprise your partner when you start to slowly undress.

9. Send something silky and sexy in a thank you card to your partner! Let them know how much they turn you on and how you are looking forward to modeling the item that you sent for them the next time you see them. Expect to hear from them very soon!

10. Leave them at home! Wear a sexy vinyl or leather mini-skirt, silky cami top, and sexy shoes, and nothing else. Let your partner know that you “forgot” to wear your panties. You’ll both stay turned on the whole night.
