Hot ’n’ bothered

>> Wherein we present the long-awaited wet and wild 2002 Sex Survey results

conducted by SASHA


1. What is your most unlikely masturbation item and how was it employed? Did you have much success?

You wouldn’t believe how many people put hair brushes in their vaginas and bums. Is that why one of the major manufacturers of this product is called Goody?


• Not terribly unlikely, I think rather it’s very common. As a child I had a vast collection of stuffed animals on my bed. I had a chart on the wall with a detailed rotation schedule—who would be my “animal” that night? The lucky penguin or bear would, on its special night, be the thing I humped myself to sleep on. I was very fair. Everyone got their turn. I think that stuffed animals are the poor girl’s pony.

• A feather that I used on my testicles. It worked during the initial start of the session, but slowly lost its edge.

• A sock. A plain sock. No matter what colour or if it’s been previously worn or not. I slip it over my erect penis and away I go.

• My hand is just so handy that I haven’t had much incentive to reach for anything else. I have, on one occasion shoved a toothbrush container up my butt. It was one of those harmless ’90s, rounded no-edges style things—until it snapped open.

• I used frozen hotdogs and stuck them up my vagina. I let them unthaw and the success was great ’cuz when they unthawed and all the water was dripping out of me it felt great!

•A brush into my ass as I was taking care of my dick. It was quite satisfying.

• When I was about four I stuck one of those roll-on perfume bottles into my vagina, without the cap on (I was a brilliant child). I screamed and wailed and freaked out, but I couldn’t tell my mom what happened or she would’ve kicked my butt. I think that’s when I learned to fake orgasms so well.

• When I was young and still living with my parents, I used an old foam mattress to masturbate. I created a X-shaped hole in the middle of it and used hair styling gel as lube. The problem was that the gel was that famous pink stuff and the mattress was stained with it. By the way, it never worked for me!

• A jar of Vaseline. Made a hole in the middle and try to push my penis in. Yuck. No repeat.

• Two sausage-shaped (blown) balloons tied together by the ends to mimic a tight vagina. It worked all right, but I got blisters on my penis for two weeks because of the friction, I guess. Maybe it was because of the cheap soap I used for lubrification. Hey, I was 12!

•I used one of those shower sprayers, the ones that are supposed to save water. I put it on “Powerjet” and had an incredible orgasm.

• I’ll tell you about my first one— though not my most unlikely, ’cuz this story’s a bit better. It was your usual purple vibrating dildo and I was 20, had moved back home to my mother’s after being out for a couple of years. I had spent all afternoon masturbating and at one point, flailing about like an epileptic, I opened my eyes to see my mother standing there, at my door, with a look of “Oh God, what monster have I created?” on her horrified face. She said, “What are you doing?” “Masturbating!” I shouted back. There was no way to hide it. I saw her again later that night and she told me to get my own phone line.

• Vacuum cleaner at 14. I chickened out at the last second, thank God, since I later discovered that it was a common problem in the emergency room—guys with the skin sucked off their dick.

• I’ve used a blue flavoured Popsicle to masturbate while my boyfriend ate my pussy. It melted in less than 2 minutes while he gobbled it up. I’d say it was a complete success.

 

 

 

 

 

2. What was your worst sex accident and did it merit a trip to the hospital?

Two words, folks: flared base. It’s not that complicated.

• One rainy day, I actually decided that a peeled Spanish onion would do wonders on my ass (you know, the sweet kind used in Greek salads). It took a lot of work but it finally fit quite nicely—too nicely, in fact. This ended up in an inevitable trip to the emergency room where my friend was working (and still is) as an ER nurse. To this day, I refer to this story as “my friend’s mishap” and not mine. Only for you, Sasha my love, do I divulge my family secrets!

• The second time having sex with a new partner, he was doing me from behind. His bed had a headboard (very exotic after years of fucking on futons) with bars. As the sex went on, I kept getting thrust forward until eventually I realized I was stuck between the bars. I thought it would be rude to say anything (British parentage), but the minute he finished, I wailed “my head is stuck!”. He was laughing so hard, he was certainly no help. And the more I panicked (thoughts of firefighters, etc.), the more complicated turning my head slightly seemed. Eventually we released me.

• On December 27 ’99, after an evening out with my girlfriend, we came back to the apartment drunk and made love, unprotected, in front of the fire place. We now have a lovely son of 16 months and we own a house. So not only did we have to go to the hospital, but to the bank as well.

• A hairbrush handle broke inside my vagina. Luckily I didn’t need any professional help to get it out of there.

• My worst sex accident had to be an anal cut from a forced fisting. I was too embarrassed to go to the hospital so it took a long time to heal.

• Only having some guy’s fingernails too long and cutting me while fingering my pussy.

• A condom stuck in my partner’s pussy and I just fished it out myself (I guess she liked it).

• Playing with a dildo, it went just a bit too far up my partner’s rectum. He panicked. We called 911 and he went to the ER in a French, Catholic hospital and not only is he Jewish, but anglophone. Actually, I thought it was quite funny. He didn’t. He never called me afterwards.

• My friend and I were mutually masturbating, except he didn’t know his own strength. I got bruises on my penis.

• It turned out that my boyfriend was fucking everything he could get his dick into without protection. He was my worst sex accident and, yes, it merited several trips to the hospital for blood tests.

• A bruise on the cheek from a fist—no hospital.

• Trying to stick my finger in my girlfriend’s asshole. It landed me a punch and kick in the head, but there was no need for a trip to the hospital.

• My girlfriend threw up while going down on me. We were drunk, we fell asleep and the next morning, I couldn’t take the puke off of my pubic hair and had to shave it off.

• I was cleaning house and my boyfriend was bugging me for sex so I went in the room and placed what was in my hand on the night table (liquid detergent). During sex I reached for the lubricant, but accidentally grabbed the detergent. After that I had to go to the hospital as it burned real bad.

• I got a finger infection from having fingered a girl with an overly active pussy. Yup, hospital was necessary. The nurse nearly puked from the smell when the doctor told her to take a whiff of the yucky puss-type substance that oozed from my finger as I writhed in pain. The doctor said it was bacteria that can only live inside the human body. It had entered my finger from a cut I had in my skin because I bite my fingernails. I told my parents and friends that I must have got the infection from cleaning my cat litter. Worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life.

3. Is there something you thought you’d never do, much less enjoy that has now become your favourite meal?

People are just lining up at the backdoor for snacks this year!

• Yes. A peeled Spanish onion (you know, the sweet kind used in Greek salads).

• Receiving anal sex with a strap-on dildo. I’m straight and have been living with my girlfriend for six years.

• Licking out a guy’s “clean” ass.

• I never thought I’d enjoy flavoured essential oils. Now, after having experienced it, well, carte blanche my dear.

• Anal sex. I had always hated it when lovers stuck fingers up there (especially without testing the waters first), but have since experimented with penises. Much, much nicer.

• I got Hep. A from licking butt, an activity that I’m sure was never on my “To Do” list. Now that I’m totally immune to A and vaccinated for B, it’s an all-you-can-eat special!

• Sleep with a cross-dressed woman. I’m a girly girl hooked on the Kings now!

• I never thought that I would love rimming (giving and receiving), but it’s very erotic.

• Anal sex. Dressed-up as a schoolgirl.

• I like giving head a helluva lot more than I thought I ever would.


All New!
4. If you were asked to teach a sex workshop, what would be your area of “expertease” and why?

• Blow jobs. In a certain west coast city, I even have the illustrious nickname The Hollywood Hummer.

• “The Joys and Pains of Anal Sex 101.” Why? A peeled Spanish onion (you know, the sweet kind used in Greek salads).

• My area of expertise would be sucking dick because I can take it all in and I am very good at what I do. The guys just love it.

• I’d be a great doggy-style teacher. But then again, I give great head, so I could also teach fellatio 101.

• Furry-type sex, being a furry myself!

• “The Art of Seduction.” “Creativity in the Sexual Arena.” “Ways to Start Your Big Brain Going Before Getting Naked.” Why? It’s what I’ve been practicing over the years and thus I’m very good at it!

• Anatomy and physiology of the female sexual organs.

• I’d be the expert at the actual sleeping part of sleeping with someone. Just having sex with someone is so casual and easy that it doesn’t even count. A man can’t just have sex with a man and call himself gay; you have to sleep over at least, if not go out for breakfast in the morning. I’d teach “Snore Appreciation,” “Blanket Etiquette,” and “The Joy of Drool.” Sex is really only a small part of being good in bed.

• Foreplay. I’m a wicked tease and a great kisser.

5. If you could attend a sex workshop, what would it be and why?

• How to go down on a woman. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be. The whole notion is exhausting.

• I would love to attend a workshop on threesomes because I’d love to learn more about them. I also think that it would be great to be able to stimulate more than one person at a time.

• Being so visually oriented, it is my butthole that has remained a mystery to me. In a workshop situation we could get to the bottom of it, so to speak. Maybe we could have a good look at each other’s in broad daylight, or have one of those fibre-optic, medical camera things on hand for the inside tour. I’d like to know why mine is so tight and unaccommodating compared to others who are blessed with a tunnel of love and pleasure.

• The art of blowjobs. I feel so fake, acting all enthusiastic. I mean, I like them, but come already for fuck’s sake.

• I’d like to attend a sex workshop on erotic massage because I would like to learn how to properly give and receive one.

• How to dare to have sex in other places (besides at home).

• One of those fetish conventions that all of my hardcore fetish friends attend. You need to be an actual certified freak or an invited guest (I’m sooo jealous) to attend one of these. They have crazy acts, seminars and workshops on piercings, implants and bizarre sex performances like “lifto” acts.

 

6. Do you have a marginalized fetish? What is your first memory of it?

• It used to be marginalized, but now it’s all so mainstream. I’m not bitter. Not being so special anymore is a small price to pay for full citizenship and a respected place in mainstream Canadian society.

• As a heterosexual man I’ve always fantasized about being buggered with a strap-on. Recently I bought a beauty for my girl and she did the dirty deed. Woohoo! To all the homophobic men who think that anal sex is just for gays and girls: why do you always fantasize about doing it to your ladies and never think about how it would feel to yourselves? Ever hear of the prostate gland?! Go out and buy one right away, you homophobic, small-dick, fat-neck morons!

• Whips, ropes and chains. My first memory of them is when me and my boyfriend were role playing and I was being a naughty girl, so he tied me up. It left marks on me, but it was worth it.

• Watching guys jerk off, I think, is what excites me the most. Not a lot of women will admit to this. I saw my brother masturbating once, maybe it could be the root of my fetish?

• I like cross-dressers of both sexes. The scene in Hedwig and the Angry Inch where the two who are cross-dressed kiss? Fuck me…

• Hanging from a tree in front of my piano teacher’s house with boys sitting all about, just talking to each other. Very erotic. First time I thought of it: waiting for a piano lesson. Is hanging from a tree a fantasy or a fetish?

• Well, I am a real-life non-professional dominatrix who is relatively new to the scene. I started out by working on a phone sex domination line and after listening to so many men and their fantasies, I realized that I’d love to try it.

• Fetish, to me, is something of a deviancy. I’ve learned over the years that, for me, it’s not a crucial thing. Above all, I prefer very hairy-chested men, the more the better. I lose all cardinal points in such a majestic presence. Still, if a man is smooth, then I work with that. Life goes on.

• Golden showers. I have yet to experience it, but I can remember the first time pissing in the shower, feeling how hot it was.

• Giving a blow job to a transvestite. First memory of it: at the Cleopatra bar on St-Laurent.

7. Have you ever had a workplace affair turn
catastrophic? What were the repercussions?

You just do your job and they never give you credit. It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it…

• Blowing a coworker in the restaurant we worked at. The cleaning crew walked in mid-act. It was Halloween and I was wearing an angel costume. The halo was at a right angle to my head. Smartest thing I ever did was give a blow job to the head cook: my meals always came up first. And cooks are good to sleep with because they make you breakfast.

• Best advice my mom ever gave me: never fuck a guy from work.

• I’ve always wanted a workplace affair, but usually I’ve been promised work, but it turned out to be a lie just to get me in bed. It’s hard to have a workplace affair when you’re unemployed.

• No. I’ve never, ever, had sex with someone I work with or from my work environment (unlike Bill Clinton, I know how to define sex and it’s not exclusively contained in penetration). I’ve turned them down flat! Period.

• I am a performer and I can’t stop sleeping with people in whatever show I’m in. It’s an extremely bad policy, especially if they have partners who tell them they can never do another show with you again.

• All my workplace affairs have been great. I was having an affair with an intern when the whole Clinton/Lewinsky thing was going on. It was then that I really turned on to the blowjob thing.

• While married, I had an affair with a guy from Guyana who was also married. He got very possessive and started telling everyone at work that I was his woman. Every time he walked by and I was talking to a guy he would grill me later as to who it was, was I fucking this guy or what. We used to have screaming matches in the cafeteria because of it.

• No. I’ve had sex on my boss’s desk and in my cubicle though


Consumer Alert!

8. What is your favourite commercially
produced sex toy? Why?

• Magic Wand. Given to me by a dear friend after my fiancé called off the wedding. I was bemoaning the loss of wedding presents and she pointed out that if anyone ever needed a present, it was me, now. Love it. It’s been a year and a half, and I still have to use it fully clothed, it’s so powerful.

• Magic Wand. I’ve had mine for over three years (my longest relationship).

• Commercially produced sex toys are always so full of promise, but ultimately disappointing that my favourite one is always the one I haven’t actually tried yet.

• Buttplugs. They make me go wild!

• I have a little vibrating egg and this thing makes me come so hard, I use it daily.

• I love the Silver Bullet. It’s cheap, easy to hide and has a nice remote so you can buzz yourself to happiness whenever you want.

• The Clit Stick is my favourite because it looks like lipstick so no one knows it’s a vibrator and it works well. I can bring it anywhere and use it anywhere.

• A beautiful red leather strap-on with a sleek dildo (for my lady to use on me). Why? Because it feels sooooooo goooood.

 

9. What has been your worst purchase and what’s it doing now?

• A vibrator called The Twister by the manufacturer, but called Ike Turner by me—the meanest vibrator ever, it beat the crap out of my pussy. I threw it out.

• I bought a harness for my sexy bear cub in London, and it’s probably gyrating at Substation South right now.

• A hard plastic vibrator. Bought it because it had an animal print. Gorgeous, but totally useless in terms of torque. Sits on my night table as décor/enticement.

• A rock-hard dildo with a point on the end. The blue X’s and O’s printed on the shimmering white reminded me of a childhood toy—I can’t remember what. It is deeply uncomfortable and I have to be extra careful if I’m going to use it, which I never am.

• A hard plastic vibrator that is too big for my tight pussy and is actually very uncomfortable to use.

• A blow-up doll! It doesn’t specify how much air to put in and I managed to blow it up (to pieces). Go figure. Garbage, my dear. Pure garbage.

• My worst choice was the bunny vibrator because it only lasted two days. Needless to say it’s sitting in the trash.

• Edible orange-chocolate “sex butter” from the Asian sex toy lady. It’s still in my fridge and I use it for baking cookies.

 

Hell Hath No Fury
10. What’s the wickedest thing you’ve ever done to someone who broke your heart or fucked you over? Do you regret it now?


• I slept with my ex-lover’s twin after he dumped me. Do I regret it? Jesus, I got to sleep with two gorgeous twins!

• One of my girlfriends cheated on me and broke my heart. I found out she was at the fucker’s apartment so I gathered up all her gear, brought it to his place, dumped it on the sidewalk outside, called her from my cell phone, told her to look outside just as I torched the fucking pile! The coup-de-grâce was that I held up her $3,000 pair of Manolo Blahnik boots, pissed in them, and torched the fuckers. Do not fuck with Scorpios!

• I think about revenge, but have a policy against it. Except this once. The only thing I regret is having given him the benefit of the doubt, which he was later able to use against me. I put a full pack of his favourite cigarettes into his mailbox, and sure enough the evil bastard is back to smoking himself to death! A disgusting habit for a disgusting liar. Sweet Victory.

• I wrote a letter to a sex columnist who shall remain unnamed. It appeared not two weeks later. My evil ex recognized his dastardly actions in it and went ballistic. No, I do not regret it. And if I ever see him again I will kick his sorry, shit-stained underwear ass!

• I slept with my boyfriend’s best friend while still in our relationship. We returned, the three of us, from a party and his friend and I locked him out and fucked. This happened on several occasions. We were teenagers. He broke my heart by kissing another girl at a dance. I regret the failure of the relationship overall, but not that act any more than any of the others that contributed.

• Well, it pains me to tell you this, but, I “accidentally” sent a letter to his wife. It didn’t say much. I simply let the obvious pictures say a thousand words. I don’t regret it. Not that I’m callous or selfish. To me, it was a question of integrity. Either way that was 25 years ago. I was a mere kid of 17 and he was my social worker.

• Let’s see. I dumped a guy on Christmas day. Slept with another guy while my boyfriend was in the other room. Other than that, no I can’t recall.

• I smashed his windows with a bat, screwed up his locks, stole his brand new stereo system and spray-painted his car. A couple of days later, I went to his work and made a big scene. He got mad and came after me as I was driving away so I almost ran him over!

 

The Ultimate Question!
11. How’s the safer sex thing working out for you these days?

• I adore condoms. I love that I’m taking care of myself and my partner, I love seeing someone rolling one on. It means that they too are concerned about my health. I find that immeasurably sexy. I also approach a new partner assuming that they have everything under the sun and work from there.

• I have a policy to always wear a condom when fucking, just as a matter of prudent basic hygiene. This policy is really, really hard to keep when there’s a gorgeous muscular hunk on his back with his hairy knees up near his stubble begging me to fuck him bare and I want to shove my huge uncut naked tool deep up his eager asshole more than anything in the world.

• I got a huge awakening when I was with someone, in a supposedly monogamous relationship, who jeopardized my health terribly. I swear, the guy would have stuck his dick in a box of anthrax if he thought it might feel good. I’m back on board with latex barriers, and thankfully, still healthy.

• Just dandy, thanks.

• Toughest question so far. Fact is I, being a gay middle-aged man, do not ponder too much on safer sex and thus hardly ever practice it. I’ve no excuse. I’ve had all the information. It’s highly complicated to come to terms with it. For example, it’s very pertinent, but not obvious to ask a partner to be patient and wait until we both have our HIV results in, before actually having sex without a rubber and then dealing with the sexual and intimacy issues. A question of mutual trust arises. Monogamy and sexual exclusivity also play dominant roles in all of the choices and options.

•Not too good. For all those guys doing safe sex statistics with this survey, let me tell you what most 20–25 year olds are doing in the matter of safe sex right now: nothing. Most of the people I know find a guy or a girl, ask them if they’re at risk, check the area for infections and if all lights are green, we can fuck for years without a condom. I’m ashamed to say this, but I’m part of this crowd as well. It’s sad really, but condoms seem to diminish long relationships. I had a boyfriend who got mad at me because we were still using condoms after six months in the relationship. Of course, we use one if we’re sleeping around. But most of my friends (girls and guys) don’t wear condoms if they’re in a meaningful relationship. There is some kind of weird connotation that society has attributed to condoms. It seems that if you are with someone you really love, you don’t need them anymore. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

• If I was having safe sex, I’m sure it would still be good, but I’m not having it. I’m with my boyfriend and we don’t practice safe sex—the only things we practice are different positions.

• I challenge any girl to use a vaginal condom. Wearing a condom is “like taking a shower with a rain coat,” but to all the guys who refuse to wear one: suck my dick! Wearing a raincoat in the shower is better than dying a slow, painful, lonely death. If having sex means compromising a little, I’ll even wear a Smurf outfit and get spanked by the purple Teletubby if it means that I’ll get a good bang.

 

Grand Prize
Last but not least, for prizes and notoriety! Enjoy all the perks of being a published writer! Your most embarrassing, monumental, calamitous, gorgeous sex story in about 100 words.

 

I don’t know what the hell this guy is alluding to but I love it!
Since I am quite daring, I shall entertain you in such details. Let me simply say that it involved leaving a note on my front door saying that he had to find me. Putting thread to needle, the short version, he “found” me, lying bare butt on a variety of pillows, a piece of French bread by my side and two glasses of French white wine in the hall closet. In two years of being together it was the very first time he was undressed in 10 seconds flat. Just another closet case, my dear. “Vive la France!”

 

Anyone who almost dies getting fucked in the ass on the roof of the building where they work at lunch time deserves a box of condoms at the very least!
I always thought getting a Spanish onion (you know, the sweet kind…) stuck up my ass would be my trophy story, but I actually have a better one. My lady and I work at the same firm. One hot summer’s day after exchanging some rather heated sexual e-mails from our work stations, we decided that our lunch break would be spent on the rooftop of the building. Nothing like a little naughty game of sex at work to get a couple randier than a hippo in heat with a two-foot cock. We rushed our way to the back side of the building’s rooftop where security was lax and started making out in a heated passion. The sun was beaming as I lifted up her skirt to reveal the top of her stockings and garters (yummy). I grabbed her naked thigh and let my hand travel upward to reveal the edge of the red leather strap-on that I had given her for her birthday. “Oh my god,” I marvelled, “you naughty little bitch.” “Shut up,” she whispered as she bent me over the ledge, “you’re the bitch now.” She reached into her purse and took out her dildo, hooking it into the strap-on. I feverishly unbuckled my pants and soon she was inside me, pumping away and crouching over me so she could stick her delicious mouth over mine. As soon as she hit my prostate from the inside she reached over with her hand and started squeezing my little guy... this sent me over the edge. Literally! Before I could come, I fell over the edge of the building onto the fire escape (about five feet down) and sprained my back. We managed to clean up before we called for help so as not to look conspicuous but, boy! Talk about one nasty case of blue balls!

 

What can I say? Hurrah for lesbians!
There was one particularly deranged summer afternoon that my girlfriend and I got up to no damn good. We had gone on a gorgeous road trip and were visiting her father at his house on the lake. At high noon, while he was labelling his latest batch of homemade wine in the basement, we decided to take an extended “nap.” As clothes were being wrecklessly flung about the room, and things got eyes-rolling-back-in-your-head hot, she abruptly shot up, grabbed a robe and disappeared. I tried in vain to catch my breath. When she returned three minutes later with a large cucumber in tow, I sneered and guffawed, and told her not to confuse my box with the ice box. We got back to business, and just as the walls started to sweat from carnal radiation, she snuck in the cold, hard garnish, and sent me into castrati-note-hitting, Saudi-oil-field-gushing orbit. Our job was to make the salad for dinner. We gleefully used a large cucumber—the only one we had. :
