As always, if you have any questions, comments, or reviews while we’re not on the air you can call the voicemail line at 206-350-6955. And be sure to follow me on Twitter to find out when our next LIVE broadcast is so you can join me in the chat room or call in and be a part of the fun!

There was a time when the public believed that women entered the world of adult films as a result of abuse, coersion, and addiction. But over the past two decades women like Jenna Jameson have taken the image of the poor, pathetic porn star and squashed it with their 8-inch platform heels. A new generation of powerful women have taken the reigns of their sexuality and their careers. As one of the most successful adult film actresses to date and frontwoman of her own production company, Teravision, Tera Patrick has certainly embraced the image of the empowered porn mistress. But a peek between the covers of her new book, Sinner Takes All: A Memoir of Love and Porn, shows a more vulnerable girl beneath the surface that falls somewhere between the meager women of yesteryear and the Girl Power proponents of today.

Amidst the pages of black and white and full color photographs of the beautiful star, the reader learns about Tera’s early estrangement from her mother, the disappointing and disturbing loss of her virginity, and her spiral into pot and valium addiction as she attempted to make it as a model overseas. But her entry into the world of adult modeling and films marks the beginning of her road to empowerment and, eventually, to love. In fact, the entire second half of the book reads more as a love story than a porn memoir. While there are titillating descriptions of weekend-long rough sex marathons with husband Evan Seinfeld that prompt worried neighbors to call the police, the sex in this book isn’t as graphic as Tera’s fans may expect (or hope for). What they get instead is a touching tale of how love pulled her through some difficult times and helped her become the strong woman we know and lust today.

If you’re looking for an erotic read, you won’t find it here. The sex in this book is downplayed by the love, heartbreak, and true human element. However, if you’re a fan of Tera Patrick or the porn industry in general, I think you’ll really enjoy getting under the surface through this page-turning account of the star’s life and career.

I know that you enjoy my sex toy reviews, but there are so many wonderful toys out there that I can’t possibly try them all myself. That’s why I encourage my readers to share their experiences with sex toys by calling in to my podcast, recording audio of their review, or simply sending an email with their thoughts. Reader Saithix was generous enough to send in his review of the famed Fleshlight. Enjoy!

Feel and Texture

Well, what can i say about the Fleshlight other than it looks like a big flashlight. The toy offers an intense and realistic feel, similar to a blowjob and vagina. The butt orifice, however, feels nothing like anal sex because a real anus pushes down on your penis and provides the intensity of a tight squeeze. The vagina orifice does come close to the real vagina, but in order to get a truly real feel you should warm it for about 10 minutes. So if you’re hot and horny and not patient you may have a problem.

After a few uses of this product it does become sticky. The manufacturer tells you to put corn starch on it, but I honestly don’t think you need it because once it is wet you won’t even notice the stickiness. The smell of the product isn’t that potent at first but once it is used a few times it begins to become noticeable. It’s not that bad, though. All i can say is that it’s not a toxic smell like some other toy products have.

Pros

1) Some of the orifices on this product are intense. Certain ones, like the stamina training unit and the forbidden (Fleshlight Girls), are incredible. In fact, they are so good they might make your wife or girlfriend jealous.

2) The Case. It’s always good to hide things from the ones you love such as your wife, kids, or parents. Of course, they just might think you have one big-ass flashlight as long as they don’t look at it for too long.
[Misty disagrees that it's good to hide things from your wife, while begrudgingly acknowledging that not all partners are open to the use of sex toys.]

3) Selection in color, cases, and orifices. We men get bored after a while using the same thing over and over again, and that’s whats good about the Fleshlight. They have many different styles of orifices with different feels. Now that’s something to bargain for! I just wish they would come out with new orifices at least every 6 months to a year.

Cons

1) Takes too long to prepare. I mean who wants to wait 10 minutes for the product to warm up? That’s like getting a cock tease at a strip club and not being able to do anything until you get home.

2) Cleaning up. Cleaning this product is one thing, but not being able to get it dry in the middle inside is a problem. Make sure you have a fan because its gonna be sitting on your bed for a while to dry up.

3) The suction is very weak. I had this thing fully sealed and felt very little suction. This is something they should try to improve on future versions.

Overall Rating: 7 out of 10

• During our call, Racer X and I declare March the Month of Ass! And who better to focus on during the Month of Ass than Tristan Taormino? Be sure to check out her upcoming workshop in Toronto, Ontario. And if you’re not lucky enough to be in Toronto this week you can always check our her book and videos.
• In honor of the Month of Ass, be sure to revisit a View From My Knees classic – my fantasy about getting a new butt plug: Butt Slut Fantasy
• Tristan’s not the only one holding anal play workshops. Those of you in New York and Seattle can attend Babeland’s Bend Over Buddy and Everything Butt(sex) workshops. For more info, check out Babeland’s web site.
• To celebrate the Month of Ass I’m giving away free Anal Sex buttons to everyone who leaves a comment in this post before March 15th. (sorry, only available to residents of U.S. and Canada)
• And finally, be sure to listen all the way through the end of the show to my new intro/outro (complete with moaning from a real sexual encounter) and let me know what you think. Don’t worry, if you say you don’t like it I’ll still send your Anal sex button.
