Hi everybody,

It’s Justin checking back in. I had to take a break from my “pussy tour” to take care of some business back at home, but I’m not ready to hit the road again. As I’d described previously here at Casual Encounters, I had quite a time in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The best part about the Vegas stop was that I won just over five grand in addition to bagging a high-priced hooker, a local UNLV party girl, a perky MILF-y type from Ohio who was attending her friend’s bachelorette party (before I snagged her out of the Wynn Encore lobby) and my Vegas finale was with a British sales type executive chick attending some convention there. She was quite classy which made defiling her even more gratifying. Somehow, I find undressing a women in a pristine business suit to be more alluring than peeling off skimpy and slutty clothes off a chick dressed like a stripper. But, that’s just me.

So I want to comment on something that happened since I last posted about my adventures on here. I think it is complete and absolute bullshit that Craigslist was extorted — yes, extorted — out of continuing their Adult Services section. Media finds a few incidences of abuse, makes huge stink and the politicians glom on to curry favor with their prude constituents. Are you going to close down phone service because some people abuse the phone? Some people are just so uncomfortable about sex that anything about it should be restricted or banned. Personally, I would have loved it if Craigslist had the balls to fight, but I guess they had no choice and did what they had to do in order to protect their brand. It still is censorship and it sucks.

The Spitting Game is a documentary seeking to expose the underside of today’s college hook-up culture. Amusing to students and shocking to parents — this movie delves into the motivations, rationale and desires which drives the current acceptance among those under 30 of the casual sex lifestyle. The film explores the risks and realities within the college hook up scene, and it contains interesting perspectives from some of America’s brightest — as well as most promiscuous — college students. Some memorable quotes include a college guy’s definition of a fun night out — “penis in vagina”, as well as a co-ed’s epiphany that anal sex is actually sex.

Spitting Game explores the relationship between alcohol and hooking up and illustrates, via interviews, how tightly these two elements are often intertwined. Alcohol provides males with the proverbial “liquid courage” while it simultaneously helps girls dispatch previously restraining inhibitions. Spitting Game was produced by award winning director Denice Ann Evans and it includes segments touching upon health education, gender issues, peer pressure and substance abuse. Two versions of this film now exist — one for students and another shorter 35 minute version released for educational purposes. Parents of college students who have the stomach to see what is really going on these days on campus are well served to watch this insightful documentary.

High in the mountains of Vietnam, near the Chinese border, villagers descend upon the tiny town of Khau Vai once a year to get it on. The “love market” that ensues connects old lovers and new flames, and it does not matter if the participants are taken or single. This just goes to show that you can get away with anything as long as there is mythology behind it.

According to legend, a beautiful girl from the Giay ethnic group fell head over heels in love with a guy from the rival Nung ethnic group. In true Romeo and Juliet fashion, war ensued between the tribes and the lovers agreed to separate in order to end the war. Before they did, however, they made a secret pact to get together every year in the village of Khau Vai on the 27th day of the third lunar month to rekindle their love.

Today, locals from surrounding villages come to Khau Vai to celebrate this tradition by hooking up. Married men and women meet old lovers that they did not end up with. It is an understood part of culture and there are no ramifications for the current marriage. New romances are also formed, and the younger generation is continuing the tradition. Cell phones, text messages, and digital cameras have made connecting at the event a lot easier. In some ways it sound pretty romantic, but in other ways it sounds like one big orgy! Good times either way.

Have you ever been with a selfish sex partner or been told you’re selfish in bed? It turns out that might be a compliment. A new study that focused on the sex habits of selfish lovers found that those who focus on getting what they want in bed have more fulfilling sex lives for both themselves and their partners.

University researchers in Vancouver studied the sex lives of 60 couples, half of whom were over 30 years of age and half under. Whenever there was a large drop in the satisfaction a person felt for themselves, there was a corresponding drop in the satisfaction their partners got.

The study’s conductors were caught by surprise, but discovered that those who were self-centered in bed were much more engaged and enthusiastic about sex, which translated to pleasurable benefits for the partners.

The other side of the coin is that couples who were more motivated by a desire to please their partners were more prone to have their sex lives turn into something of a routine or a chore. Another interesting result was that younger couples tended to have sex more selfishly, while older couples reported a desire to show affection to the partner as a sexual motivator. Guess who had the hotter sex life?

While this news might give some of you selfish types license to “get yours” guilt-free, the truth is that you are less capable of being good in bed if you are not satisfied and engaged. It is not a reason to poo-poo your partner’s needs, but remember the importance of maintaining your energy and motivation.

Though you would not normally think of sex and museums together, it can be pretty fun to nerd out on everyone’s favorite activity. It does not make a bad date spot either. You might get inspired to try some new things, and some extreme exhibits can challenge you to push your sexual boundaries. The last couple of decades have seen these museums popping up all over, so we decided to run through some of the best.

A Japanese porn star learned about her country’s atrocities against China in grad school and feels really bad about it. To make a mends, she wants to rock the world of Chinese students in Japan. If all guilt looked like this, the world would be a better place.

Adult film star Anri Suzuki has a doctorate in history from a prestigious university in Japan. Unlike most other history students there, she focused on the Japanese invasion of China and wrote a detailed paper on the subject. She told the Korea Times, “I want to cure the wounds of the Chinese with my body, and I am practicing this by having sex with Chinese students in Japan.”

Attention Chinese college students: fill out your study abroad papers NOW. You would expect such interest to skyrocket as pupils “get in line”. You could ask whether this would really do anything to repay historical injustices, but the more important question is: have you seen that rack? Anytime you can answer a complicated historical question with some whoopee, it is the right answer as far as we are concerned.

It seems to be a win-win so far. Suzuki said, “I think it is psychological compensation to them. Actually, Chinese students treat me more friendly and comfortably than Japanese.” Something surely was lost in translation, but you can imagine what would be involved with treating her “more friendly and comfortably.” Oh, to be young and Chinese.

In a setback for horny women everywhere, the FDA recently wagged a finger at the drug flibanserin, which was designed to boost a lacking libido in women. Even though the drug was proven to give a woman more “sexually satisfying events,” the regulators said it did not treat a problem that can be diagnosed. While these satisfying events increased, the women’s actual sexual desire did not, so the feds saw this as not treating female sexual desire disorder, an identifiable health problem.

Where is the fun in that interpretation? The FDA dropped the ball on this and blocked a perfectly good sex pill. At the end of the day, it would be a case of ladies still having to get themselves in the mood, but the experience would be much better once it happened.

As for side effects, what was seen in the trials was dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. Sounds like what happens after a few glasses of wines, so not much risk there. It is not close to the four hour boners, heart attacks, and blindness you hear as side effects on Viagra commercials.

This ruling leaves women everywhere at risk of having fewer “sexually satisfying events.” Now it is back to the drawing board on how to increase female libido. What we currently have to work with are testosterone drugs in patch or gel form, which are nice but have not proven to be clear winners. One sure thing is that when the big breakthrough does come about, it should be a celebration to remember.

Everyone’s favorite classified site is expected to hit 3 times its projected revenue this year, in no small part due to its popular sex classifieds. According to the New York Times, the ‘list will see a 22% growth in revenue as more people complain about its sex classifieds sections.

Casual encounters are all well and good, but it seems that sex traffickers and hookers are abusing the system and bringing an unsavory element into the fold. Recently, the FBI busted 14 mobsters from the Gambino family who were selling sex from 15 to 19 year old girls. A new study from Georgia advocacy group A Future Not A Past estimates that a john, or a guy looking to buy sex, is 3 times more likely to go to Craigslist than anywhere else on the web. That is a damn good monopoly.

Backlash against the site’s founders for all the illegal activity that takes place threatens the entire community and the genuine, wholesome, casual encounters ads we all know and love. Attorney generals have tried to stop it, but most legal types agree the site should not be liable. Craigslist even started charities with the money they make from the ads. Sure, there are a few bad apples that get into the mix, but the positives of Craigslist as a whole far outweigh the negatives. Hell, the positives of the sex ads alone outweigh the negatives that sneak in there. Agree?

Start the celebrations. As it turns out, sleeping around is not bad for you mentally. A University of Minnesota study by Dr. Marla Eisenberg looked at the mental wellness of 1300 sexually active adults. Compared to those in monogamous relationships, adults participating in casual sex showed no difference in their psychological health. Keep in mind that this study was done in regards to psychological health only, so common sense still applies when it comes to STDs. Yes, that means you out there, slugger.

Of the 1300 surveyed in the study, 80% were having sex in the context of a relationship, while the other 20% were getting it on casually. This implies that there might not be as much casual sex going on as it sometimes seems there is. However, other studies have shown only 20% saying they had not had casual sex in college. It seems contradictory, but the story told seems to be that everyone hooks up at some point or another but more frequent in the average sex life is relationship sex.

What do you think? Do these percentages seem high or low to you? And do you agree that casual sex does not cause psychological harm, based on your experience? I would be willing to bet there are a bunch of people who say otherwise. Let us know down below.

With all the bad news for New Orleans recently (Hurricane Katrina, Gulf Oil Spill), it was starting to feel like the town was cursed. However, thanks to the Saints winning the Super Bowl and this new survey, there is some good news at last for the Big Easy. Condomania, an online condom store that sells custom sized condoms, used their sales data for these condoms to compile the world’s largest penis size database.

While this is far from a scientific study, they do make a good point in saying that condom buyers are more likely to look for a good fit than to exaggerate as they would in a straightforward penis measuring survey. That might lead to some more accuracy, but there is the issue of repeat customers messing up the data and not knowing exactly who all the customers are.

Nevertheless, New Orleans was the largest city by this measure, while New Hampshire was the largest state. Dallas was the smallest city, and Wyoming was the smallest state. Interestingly, blue states out-sized red states and the overall range was from under 3” to over 10”. The data formed a perfect bell curve, with 25% under 5”, 50% 5-6” and 25% longer than 6”. In light of these findings, do not be surprised to see a rise in the female populations of New Orleans and New Hampshire in the near future.

Somehow I think this is funnier for those of us who do not understand French. It is more fun to let your imagination fill in the blanks as to what kind of story she wants to tell with the sign language. The mind can go anywhere with the wild oral gestures leading straight into some good old fashioned nipple pinching. The girl doing the signing is quite talented and seems passionate about the message she is communicating. Is it wrong to be attracted to her? No? Good.

The world of sexual sign language is counter-intuitive to those of us that have been making immature sex gestures for years. The sign for “intercourse” is not what you would expect as the index finger penetrating a hole made by the other hand. It is actually both hands making a V as you would a peace sign and then facing those to each other parallel to the floor, representing the legs of 2 people on top of one another. And the sign for “vagina” has nothing to do with the game you and your friends play by interlocking fingers. It is simply touching the index fingers and thumbs together to form a diamond shape and holding this downward in front of the waist. That makes sense, but “penis” is holding up 2 fingers to the face and touching the nose. What? I think I’ll stick to my 3rd grade sex signs for now.

Just how far will men go to get laid? According to a recent paper by the Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, men are programmed by nature to risk death — if necessary — to score. This academic study lays out evolutionary and biological reasons behind the recklessness of males, and describes to what lengths men are driven to go in order to facilitate the spreading of their seed. The urge to procreate is primal within every species — humans not excluded. Many species will go to extreme lengths to spread their genes — one disturbing example is within the lion world where males routinely kill unrelated infant lions in order to bring their mothers back into heat. Although the vast majority of male humans would never entertain such a thing — we are willing to literally put our lives at risk when it comes to sex.

The researchers behind this study theorize that this difference between the genders relates to their respective roles within child bearing and rearing. Although current society has transcended the era of women spending their lives “pregnant and in the kitchen”, the traditional role as the primary party responsible for rearing children imparted a sense of caution to females. They were programmed to protect themselves in order to protect their kids — absent fathers could go get themselves killed and their kids would still be fine so long as their mother remained ok. This resulted in a male reckless streak — and the primary prehistoric urge to procreate served to drive men to take great risks while in pursuit of pussy. These primordial urges and behaviors still linger with us today.

South Beach in Miami is one of the premiere adult playgrounds in the world, and within South Beach the Versace Mansion serves as a focal point where debauchery meets fashion. This property was originally named Casa Casuarina, and it was the home of famed designer Gianni Versace up until the day of his death — on which he was tragically shot within feet of the mansion’s front gate. Subsequent to his killing, the mansion was converted into a private club and provides for a venue for some of South Beach’s most hedonistic events. The above video encapsulates just a taste of the action happening at this hotspot on a nightly basis.

Guys looking to hook up with some of the hottest women on the planet flock to South Beach, and in addition to the Versace Mansion, there are quite a few spots to see and be seen. At B.E.D. restaurant, diners are provided with their own (curtained and private) bed allowing for a mix of dining and playing, and Tantra mixes aphrodisiac-laden food with exotic belly dancers. Recently, the CEO of a large German pharmaceutical company sued the South Beach hotel he was staying at complaining that partiers had entered his room and started an orgy without his permission — a service one would think a hotel would charge extra for.

While, in principle, there is never a bad time for sex, discretion dictates that one should refrain from sexual activity during some activities common in everyday life. Examples could include refraining from sex while going to church, abstaining while at a parent-teacher conference, and avoiding sexual activity while driving. Out of all of these example, the latter can prove to be the most dangerous. Nonetheless, a surprising 15% of respondents in a recent international study admitted to engaging in a sexual act while driving a vehicle. 1800 drivers from five countries including the United States were interviewed for this study.

More common was eating while driving — 75% admitted to being guilty to this offense. 28% confessed to texting while driving, and 20% of women do their hair or make-up while driving. The study was conducted by the Danish headset maker Jabra, and it appears their goal was to show that texting or talking on a hand held device was more dangerous than using a headset. Surely they were surprised at the number of us who have the dexterity to have sex while driving which is a phenomenon for which a headset can’t be a substitute.
