Six Degrees of Sex

by Jefferson on 12/30/2009

in sex

You’ve heard of six degrees of separation, the sociology postulate-cum-parlor game popularized by John Guare’s play of the same name. The idea is that any two people on the planet may be connected by as few as five individuals. Connect yourself to Kevin Bacon and you’ve taken a hyperboost to your connectivity, as he is the apparent center of the six degrees universe.

My friends and I like to play six degrees of sex, which operates on the same principle, albeit in a somewhat sluttier derivation.

As it happens, anyone who plays the numbers with me gets cozy with the King, as I am five degrees of sex from Elvis. I slept with someone who slept with someone who slept with Ann-Margret who slept with Elvis. That’s a whole lot of shakin’ for me to pass on.

I’m fortunate to be linked to a pivot like Ann-Margret, as she’s had many affairs with the loose and famous. Because she slept with Warren Beatty, I’m six degrees of sex to Madonna. Sex with me leaves you seven degrees from Madge, which falls off the chart, but you do get a little shampoo in the bargain.

For a writing project, I’m collecting stories of six degrees of sex. Are you or someone you know six (or fewer) degrees of sex from an interesting connection? Perhaps it’s with a celebrity—hey, play your cards right and I can get you cozy with the King—or perhaps it’s via some other set of connections. Does your six degrees of sex led you circuitously back to a family member? Does it take you down Main Street, from fire department to post office to service station? Or perhaps it takes you back in time—a friend of mine, a gay man in his fifties, can trace six degrees of sex to Walt Whitman.

If you get lucky, you may find a prodigious pivot (like my Ann-Margret) who takes you in multiple directions. Curiously enough, it’s unlikely to be Kevin Bacon: he’s been married to Kyra Sedgwick for twenty years, and while it’s said that the couple likes their sex rough, they also apparently like it monogamous.

Think you’ve got a good story? Drop me a line at onelifetaketwo@gmail.com.

Editor’s Pick

  • Eros and Isis Leo by Domina Doll
  • Their line of sensual adult toys are made from 100% silicone and are exquisite objects d’art. With names like Lancelot, Cleo and Leo the Lion, their inspiration lies in mythical eroticism and fervent fantasies. Each erotic object is disguised as a fine art collectable and resemble antiqued silver, jade or gold chess pieces or figurines.

    Note: Every once in a while a toy comes along that simply takes my breath away, and I just can’t resist making it EP for the week, and this was one of those. There are tons of other amazing reviews this week, though too, it was difficult to choose!

PresenceI wish that you would look at me now. I am willing you to look at me now, over her body, rocking with the motion of her mouth. But you do not.

Restraint – “Do you like what you see?” the blonde asks. “Are you excited by what’s before you?” the redhead enquires. He nods.

What Not to Fetishwear – DON’T wear a PVC sleeveless vest if you fall into the rotund category. You will look like a bowling ball. With chubby arms.

Fucking for Art – The proximity of their nakedness and my scrutiny resulted in this beautiful agony of arousal for them both. I asked if they would feel comfortable doing some poses of vaginal penetration for me, and they readily agreed.

  • Man on Man: The New Gay Romance (LA WeeklyO – In many ways the growing popularity of gay romance represents nothing less than a tectonic shift in a culture that says women don’t (and shouldn’t) consume porn. Hot and steamy gay-romance literature is to women what Internet porn is to men: They get off on it, mostly in secret, and keep coming back for more.
  • Canadian Minister Calls for Regulation of Adult Sex Toys | Cory Silverberg – The letter (which you can download here) calls out phthalates and BPA in particular, pointing to what little research has been done on sex toys, and suggesting that there is an "urgent need for responsible regulation in the adult toy industry." The minister wants products to be safety tested before they can be sold, and the chemical composition of all sex toys to be made publicly available.
  • Fantasy On Trial (Again) | Dr. Marty Klein – I’m on my home from Denver, where I testified as an expert witness at a deeply troubling trial—a trial that’s become way too common in America.
  • Porn For Women Retrospective 2009 | Ms. Naughty – The year is drawing to a close and thus it’s time again to take a look back at all the newsy and interesting things that have occurred in porn for women in 2009. Overall it’s been a big year with plenty of media attention and what appears to be a growing recognition within the adult industry itself that yes, women do enjoy porn.
  • Reality and Faux Ho Bloggers | Monica Shores | Carnal Nation – Sex worker web journals generally fall into two camps: marketing tools used in conjunction with a work name and website, or anonymous confessionals in which the writer discloses details about her personal life and clients. (For the purpose of this article, only female bloggers are examined.) These blogs are uniquely positioned to complicate the discourse around sex work in both negative and positive ways. They're capable of revealing rifts and commonalities in sex worker communities while also influencing the public's perceptions of and reaction to those who sell sex.
  • Netflix Spilled Your Brokeback Mountain Secret, Lawsuit Claims | Threat Level | Wired.com – An in-the-closet lesbian mother is suing Netflix for privacy invasion, alleging the movie rental company made it possible for her to be outed when it disclosed insufficiently anonymous information about nearly half-a-million customers as part of its $1 million contest to improve its recommendation system.

ooh la la rabbit Ooh La La Rabbit by NookiiToy

NookiiToy is a company owned by two women who first came out with a game called Nookii whose purpose was to inspire “intimacy, discovery and curiosity with a great big dash of playfulness”.  The game was fairly successful, so they took that philosophy and created a whole line playful sex toy kits that combined an individual toy in the distinctive NookiiToy packaging with complementary products and role-playing cards to spice it up a bit.  Some of the kits they have developed include “In the Mood for Love”, the “Weekend Fun Collection” and the “Slap & Tickle” kits.  Today I am reviewing the Ooh La La Rabbit.

I never did get into all the hype around Rabbit Vibrators myself and was never a fan of “Sex in the City”.  The Rabbit Habit (the one made famous by the show) was one of the first sex toys I ever owned.  And, while I enjoyed the Rabbit ears that stimulated the clitoris, I could never get the whole thing to work in unison as it was supposed to.  Since then I’ve owned a few other Rabbits with similar results.  So I’ve pretty well steered clear of Rabbits since then.

But, then I saw the Ooh La La Rabbit by NookiiToy while browsing the TabuToys.com website.  I wanted to try something from Nookii, and felt I was ready to try a Rabbit again.  I loved the packaging, the philosophy behind the toy, that fact that it was designed by women and even the name itself.  And, I since I am someone who never says never, I took the Nookii Ooh La La Rabbit plunge.

The Ooh La La Rabbit comes packaged in this cool oblong tube-shaped cardboard box with a pretty minimalist Art Nouveaux-style line drawing.   It has a little ribbon on top which allows you to pull the top cover off and see the toy kit inside.  The Ooh La La Rabbit comes with a pearl colored Rabbit, a pink blindfold that is satin on one side and fuzzy on the other, a “do not disturb” sign, about 20 “suggestive experience cards and tips” for using your kit, as well as a little circular pamphlet for usage and features.  The tips are pretty cute and give you ideas for ways to touch yourself with the toys and various role-playing scenarios you can try with your partner.  I love the blindfold; it is so cozy and would be the perfect kind to sleep in to get your “beauty” rest.

The Ooh La La Rabbit is made of medical grade silicone so is body safe, with an insertable shaft of 5″ and a thick 1.625″ girth.  It is quite a bit thicker than most Rabbits you will find.  Both the penetrating shaft and the rabbit tickler are covered in sensation bumps for added stimulation, and one of the cards even suggests using the tickler to insert and flutter against the G-spot.  This was kind-of interesting and innovative so I tried it.  But, I’ll get to that in a moment.  The weirdest thing about this toy is that it takes a 9v battery.  I’ve never seen a sex toy take this kind of battery and they may be hard to find in some places.  In fact, while I was reading through all the card teasers and working myself up into a bit of a frenzy to try the toy, I went to insert the batteries thinking they’d be just a bunch of AAs, and realized I didn’t have the correct kind on hand.  That was a big downer and Nookii should include batteries with their toys, especially if they are a unique type that most people do have hanging around, just to avoid disappointment for the user.

So, I did get a 9v and popped that inside the Rabbit.  The 9v seemed powerful enough, yet not more powerful than 6 AAs.  The Ooh La La Rabbit has six vibration modes from straight vibration to various undulations, each controlled by different mode buttons.  There is no unique control for the shaft and ticklers alone, so each setting vibrates both simultaneously.  Also, there is only one speed, which is interchangeable with the modes, but unfortunately you can’t turn the vibe up to max.

I lubed the Rabbit up and first tried one of the suggestions, slipping the vibrating ears inside and positioning them toward my G-spot.  This was quite a feat.  The body of the toy is very close to the ears, so it was very hard to get the toy in that position, and if it had felt good, I wouldn’t have been able to keep it there long because it was so awkward.  But, basically the quivering ears stopped quivering once inside and I felt nothing.  So, I tried the quivering ears on my clit.  I had a barely-there experience that did nothing to stimulate me at all.  Next I tried the shaft itself, which as I said it quite thick.  But, it wasn’t the thickness that bothered me, it was the sensation bumps, that when rubbed repeatedly over my G-spot felt like mild carpet burn.  I can see how they might work to stimulate someone who doesn’t have a sensitive G-spot, but on mine it was very irritating.  Still I tried to get into it for a while, while trying to position the ears on my clit without any success.  So, I turned the ears around and let them stimulate my anus, which was the best way this toy worked for me personally.  After a while, realizing I was not getting turned on by any of the sensations I gave up.  This is one of the only toys I have ever tried that didn’t at some point give me an orgasm.

So, unfortunately, my quest for finding a Rabbit that would work for me was another fail.  This is a shame because I still love the blindfold, the cards, the packaging and the whole Nookii philosophy.  All I can say is that Rabbits, even if they are Ooh La La, are not made for me.  Still if, you love Rabbits and are looking for something with extra girth, you just may find the Ooh La La Rabbit perfect for you.  If you are not a Rabbit lover, NookiiToy still makes some very cool kits like the Weekend Fun Collection, Toys for Boys Kit and the Nookii Game, all of which you can get from Tabutoys.com.
