Vacation preparations

A fitting diaphragm - the dome hole prevents suction while sizing rim

Vacation pelvic prep: The results of Miss Willoughby’s (Carla’s) and her lover, Ashton’s STI panel are back and they are free of infections. That was necessary condition of their going with us since the women on my Virgin Gorda vacations have sex with all the men at one time or another. Although in Jacques case this outing might be too public for him to have an incestuous encounter with Gigi, or perhaps not. With six couples exchanging body fluids the likelihood of some of the women getting yeast infections is pretty high so we will all use Semécide+ that has a biocide in it that inhibits overgrowth of vaginal flora to prevent YIs.

I helped Carla stock her slit-kit with an in-date O9 spermicide (Semécide+) and condoms (both male and FC2) and using a fitting kit I rechecked the fit of her two newly fitted diaphragms an 80 mm silicone All-Flex arcing spring for surface use and an 80 mm latex Reflexions flat spring to wear while diving. She is also taking a SCUBA refresher course with Peter as her instructor and learning about dive-sex, trying it for the first time, so I warned her ahead of time about his ability to impregnate his students who thought they were well protected.

However, she should be safe enough since she had a GyneFix IUD implanted in early December, so for dive sex her gas-guard will be primarily for PID and embolism protection. One area Peter is teaching her about is the ability of a male to under-thrust some rim styles of a partner’s gas-guard, such as the All-Flex which can easily be intentionally under-thrust. Since she is protected from pregnancy by her GyneFix she only needs to be concerned about under-thrusting during a dive encounter so wearing her properly fitted Reflexions while diving can almost always block even the most determined under-thruster.

Ben Wa balls for vaginal muscle toning: When Carla first became interested in Ashton she came to me for advice about the best method for toning her vaginal muscles to tighten her grip and build stamina. The best tool for enhancing those vaginal capabilities is a set of Ben Wa balls. Preferably a set of individual (not linked) ¾ inch solid jade balls that can be individually moved up and down the full length of the wearer’s vaginal barrel. One of the nice things about training with Ben Wa balls is that – once you develop enough grip so the balls don’t drop out - you can leave them inserted during the day at work or while running errands and tone your muscles as you drive or stand in line at the bank or grocery and wear them at night to exercise before you go to sleep. Women new to wearing a Ben Wa set can wear a snug fitting thong, or tights to catch a wayward ball if it drops out. Having a ball fall out and roll across the floor at Nordstrom’s or Saks is one thing, having it happen at the grocery or Wal-Mart it’s quite another and could scandalize fundamentalists, if they recognize what it is.

Ben Wa balls and G-spot orgasms: I’ve been working with the students in my St Lucy’s AST (Advanced Sexual Techniques) class to teach them how to masturbate to vaginal orgasm with Ben Wa balls. It is time consuming and takes considerable skill and stamina to grip the balls tightly while moving them back and forth over the surface of the G-spot to simulate the thrust of a dildo or lover’s penis. Once a woman learns the technique it can take as long as 45 minutes for her to reach orgasm. As she becomes more skilled in manipulating the balls the time required to reach climax drops until a skilled woman can reach orgasm in about 25 minutes. Several of the more highly skilled students wore their balls when a group of them when to see Black Swan for the third time and timed their orgasms to occur during the lesbian scene where Mila Kunis was giving Natalie Portman oral sex. Cyndi and Gigi who were in the group said the four ball-girls all wore absorbent pads in their thongs to collect their vaginal discharge and mouth guards to bite down on during orgasm to stifle screams. She said there were low moans and they were all sweating and quivering with desire as they reached orgasm, but it was a late night showing and the theater was nearly empty so no one seemed to notice four girls in their late teens quivering in sexual ecstasy.

Birth Control Update, in Thousands of Interviews

By NICHOLAS BAKALAR
To find out what American women are doing about birth control these days, the National Center for Health Statistics conducted some painstaking research: 80-minute interviews with each of 7,356 women ages 15 to 44.

The interviews were done in the women’s homes by trained female interviewers from July 2006 through December 2008. They gathered data on births, pregnancies, marriages and cohabitations, sterilization operations, and other social and demographic characteristics.

Similar surveys were done with comparable samples of women in 1982, 1995 and 2002, and some findings “are quite persistent” over the decades, said an author of the report, William D. Mosher, a statistician with the center.

“The pill and sterilization have been the leading methods for 25 or 30 years,” he said.

In the latest survey, 61.8 percent of the women interviewed were using contraception, up from 55.7 percent in 1982. More than 17 percent were using the birth control pill, compared with 15.6 percent in 1982, and female sterilization increased to 16.7 percent in 2006-8 from 12.9 percent in 1982. Ten percent of women relied on their partner’s use of a condom, up from 6.7 percent in 1982.

By contrast, the rate of male sterilization, 6.1 percent, has not changed.

The percentage of women who had used emergency contraception at least once increased to 10 percent, from 4 percent in 2002.

Seven out of 10 women said they had used some form of contraception at their first incidence of intercourse, and use was directly correlated with the education level of the woman’s mother.

For those whose mothers had no high school diploma, the rate was 52.8 percent; for daughters of high-school graduates it was 69.3 percent; for daughters of women with some college, 75.5 percent; and for daughters of college graduates, 83.9 percent.

Contraceptive use also varied by race. In the 2006-8 survey, 64.7 percent of white women and 63.9 percent of Asians used birth control, compared with 58.5 percent of Hispanics and 54.5 percent of blacks.

Personal comment: Cervical barriers are not mentioned in the survey because they are used by less than 1% of women using contraception. Diaphragms and caps are only used by women who don’t like condoms and want a natural and reversible form of birth control. Except among my circle, in the elite escort community and the fetish world where CBs have become a ‘spice’ for rubber fetishists and must-have protection for women regularly participating in underwater intercourse.
