ALMOST THERE

Put your best forward!
We are almost there. We can just about put aside our 2011 journals and calendars to what has been a rather disappointing year. It began with lots of excitement and hope but for many, 2011 turned out to be a wet blanket.

Personally for me, 2011 happened to be a transitional year. Getting adjusted to the kids being more independent, which brought its ups and downs. Work wise it has been okay I suppose. Not as crazy as 2010 but then again, that was what I was hoping for, so in some ways, it worked out just fine.

My one achievement is that I managed to keep to my resolution of a blog post a day! Cheers me guys! I'm going to do my best to keep it up but I have to say all your emails and encouragement has kept me going.

I suppose I can hail 2011 as a good year healthwise since there has not been too much to report. A good thing mind you. I hope 2012 is an equally good year if not a better one healthwise for me and my family and of course to all of you.

Sex wise, I know 2010 was a better year but 2012 is looking full of prospects which I hope to follow up on. Spare a moment for the less fortunate amongst us and of course be kind to all creatures big and small. Let's celebrate life in 2012!

If you are out to paint the town red, make sure you put your best foot forward and make your mark, without getting into trouble.My most sincere wishes for a super 2012.

AIN'T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING

I've had numerous emails from guys about one concern. In response to several of my dildo reviews, many have expressed their concern that their tools may soon be obsolete. It's a real and genuine concern I suppose since lots of effort and research have gone into designing the perfect sex toy.

I enjoy my toys and am impressed by some of them which perform beyond my expectations but at the end of the day, they are still inanimate. Let me assure many of you that if you go the extra mile for your woman, she will definitely be willing to put her toys aside until the point you don't pay as much attention to her needs.

I will never enjoy a dildo as much as the real thing for several reasons. The feel of it is one. You can duplicate how it looks and even use top-grade materials to mimic and mold a real dick but as much as they have tried, it still falls short, trust me. It's a novelty at most.

The feel of a real dick growing in your hands or mouth is second to none. For a woman, it does lots for her sexual ego. Yes, we too have it. The sense of being able to get a man hard and off is something many of us women enjoy. Nothing makes us feel like a woman as much as that.

Then there is the throbbing nature of a real dick that even the best dildo cannot replicate. Vibrators give an exaggerated effect and (don't get me wrong) although we enjoy it, it is not as good as having a throbbing dick in you. Even the length and girths of some dildos, though impressive will only stretch your insides. A skillful enough guy, even with an average sized dick will know that a woman's most sensitive areas sit not far from a her vaginal openings.

No doubt some women enjoy size, I am going out on a limb here by saying that most prefer if a guy hits her right spots with the size of tool that he owns. We are more focused in getting off at the end of the night as compared to seeing how big a guy's tool is. Size again is a novelty to some extent. It cannot and will not replace skill by any measure.

Truth be told, I've had my fair share of nine-inchers but only one really stuck with me, and that was because he knew how to use his head to tiltillate the spot that mattered for me. He didn't even have to use his full length to get me off.

Lastly, while they already have ejaculating dildos out there, it's never the same as feeling and watching how a guy gets all hot and heady before his ultimate release. Warm, sticky and tasty. How do you duplicate that?

So while I do seem to enjoy my dildos, my reviews are made in comparison with other dildos I have used, not real dicks. Rest assured guys, there ain't nothing like the real thing, unless you really such big time like one of my exs. He was already so small and to fuck like he did was really a slap in the face for my blossoming sexuality back then.

The best thing you can do is read up about what women want and look for in a man or in sex. That's perhaps the most useful tool to have in your possesion. A good place to start is at SexIS.

RAGING HARD-ON

This baby really rocks! If you want a dildo that does the job and you are not a fan of battery-operated toys, this one I received from Adam & Eve will punch in a good session for you. There is about 7 inches to insert and its not flimsy so you will get a good ride from this dildo too. 


Because it's made of high-grade rubber, the surface is smooth and all you really need is a little lube and you're good to go. What I especially find thrilling about the Raging Hardon 7Balsy Cock are its veins. You can really feel them tickle your insides. 


I wish though, it was thicker than its 1 3/4" but thanks to the veins, it didn't really matter. If you like it softer, then don't go with this one. It's really designed for those who want a hard and sturdy bang. Having said that, its rigidity is a plus when it comes to anal penetration. Again, no problems inserting it.

Here is the MS Verdict on the Raging Hardon 7Balsy Cock


Delivery: 3.5 out of 5 (arrived in 11 days in Singapore, could be quicker)

Packaging: 4 out of 5 (hard plastic pack)

Design: 4 out of 5 (great to feel and look at)

Function: 4.5 out of 5 (super for both vaginal and anal penetration but not for novices)

Total MS Score: 16 out of 20 (VERY GOOD)

GOVERNMENT JOB


A guy goes to interview for a Government job. The interviewer asks him, "Are you a veteran?"

The guy says, "Why yes, in fact, I served two tours in Vietnam."

"Good," says the interviewer, "That counts in your favor. Do you have
any service-related disabilities?"

The guy says, "In fact I am 100% disabled. During a battle, an explosion
removed my private parts so they declared me disabled, it doesn't affect my ability to work, though."

"Sorry to hear about the damage, but I have some good news for you, I can hire you right now! Our working hours are 8 to 4. Come on in about 10, and we'll get you
started."

The guy says, "If working hours are from 8 to 4, why do you want me to
come at 10?"

" Well, here at the government, we don't do anything but sit around and
scratch our balls for the first two hours. No point of your coming in for that
!"

MS: Thanks James Bond for this contribution. Merry Xmas and have a fun time with the missus.

A CHRISTMAS ORGY

A reader sent me this link which I thought would be appropriate since it is Christmas. A long but very interesting read.

I was involved in such a gathering many years back with several couples and singles. It was well-planned and there was more than enough booze to quench the thirst of a small army. Finger foods was all they served but it was enough considering the type of activities we would be getting involved in. You don't want to be too full to move from one to the next.

It wasn't exactly on Christmas day. If I recall correct, it was on December 28, which fell on the birthday of a friend of ours. Neither was it as big. There were only 9 women and 13 men who attended the orgy at the home of an expatriate couple. It was a house which was walled up and with no high-rise buildings around the area.

If you are familiar with Singapore, think the tree-lined road of Mt Pleasant Road. Unlike most of Singapore, you could scream your lungs out at one of those houses and yet not illicit any attention from your neighbours. Ironically, it was also a stone's throw away from the Police Academy.

It was one of the most pleasant experiences because unlike what people envisage, this was an orgy with class. Everyone was well-behaved and the rules of play were respectfully observed. The only bummer of the night was that the jacuzzi failed to work for some reason.

I won't go into details but let the records show that moi was the only woman who consumed every single guy, with some space to squeeze in a few girls in between! Sadly, no awards were given out for the night. I'll probably include the details sometime in the future but for now, enjoy the story link

BUSY BUSY

Those of you who have been following me over the years probably know that I used to host sex-toys tupperware-type parties full time. I used to get booked for hen parties and the likes but decided to tone it down two years back.

So two years later and I'm still being hired (READ: Begged) to hold them. I like to think that they enjoyed my shows so much that they recommended me to their friends. To come to think of it, most are repeat customers.

Although the frequency has tapered down considerably over the past 12 months, it looks like people just won't take NO for an answer during the festive season. But the good news is that I can be more choosy and pick my rates.

It is much fun and I have to admit that some of the wildest parties I've ever seen are during the hen parties. If you think bachelor parties are wild, you haven't been to a hen party! Anyway, long story short, it looks like I probably have less time on my hands to hang out with friends (and do the nasty) then I expected.

But then again, you know me. I will always find time for the nasty!

PERFECT WRAPPER

I just finished wrapping my presents and remembered that I had this image sent to me by an anoymous sender. Really would make the perfect wrapping paper for a naughty gift to your special someone.

I remember a Christmas party in 2000 when one of my girlfriends actually printed out sheets of paper to wrap presents for some of her closest friends. She replicated a nice muscular picture of a strappy young Santa with his customary hat, who had nothing else on! Oh, and he did have a nice big package! We called it the pecker wrapper!

MILFS & COUGARS

Doug is a long-time friend of mine. Well, more precisely, he is a friend of my husband's who ironically keep in touch with more with over the years because of the nature of my blog.

He is in the porn industry, not as an actor but a producer and is based in Hong Kong. When I first met him in the 1993, he was doing some home movies and selling them to a buyer in Hong Kong. If you are old enough and are familiar with the Asian Debutantes' Series, well he was behind most of them.

So anyway, he recently returned from a trip to the US where they had an expo and symposium for porn-producers. Honestly, I didn't know it was such a serious thing. I just figured it was grab a few willing actors, hit the lights and roll camera.

Interestingly, according to him, the younger look is passe! Hurray for me and all the older women out there. But seriously, for the past three years, the demand for older women in porn has sky-rocketed to unheard of levels before.

Doug did mention that television series' such Desperate Housewives and Cougar Town, amongst others, had been responsible for this spike. The problem is, they did express that sexy, well-shaped and good-looking women in this category are rather hard to come by and he agreed to it. To some extent, even the younger female actors are encouraged to look and behave 'older' to get roles.

Imagine that, an era when looking older is hip? I suppose the right word was mature. Apparently, teenie or young-girl movies are not as much in demand as they used to be at their height of popularity (2000-2005).

So this can only mean that younger men are looking for more matured women for that taste of being taken control of in bed. Well, as they say, or as I say, we may be older but we got more moves to rock your sexual world that many give us credit for. I know many mature women who will put many a younger girl to shame. We are like artists who get better with age, we are like wine, who taste better with age and best of all, we will seldom if ever, say 'No' for a good romp in the sack!

ASK THE BOLDER WOMAN

This was sent in by Lorraine, from Amsterdam, Holland. I decided to post it because I have received several similar queries in the past. So read on for my two cents worth.

Q: I have been with my boyfriend for three years and we recently decided to take a break from one another. In the interim, I had a fling with another man I was attracted to. Now that my boyfriend and I are back together, I realise that I am absolutely not attracted to him physically. In fact, I think of the other guy all the time when we are having sex. What should I do to stop this?

A: Now this is exactly why time-outs from relationships are meant for - to expand horizons and expand your options. Clearly, it is about sex with this other man. But we careful because it is always the grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side scenario when we are out of it. However, the moment we get it, we realise that we don't want it anymore. That's just the human set-up and we are fickle in that sense.

But having said that, I personally cannot be in a relationship that I have zero sex drive for my partner. I mean after all is said and done (i.e. personality, compatibility, etc.) sex is still an important part of keeping the fires in a relationship blazing. Sex presents any relationship to a chemical level and if that is lacking in any relationship, I think it is really hard to think about going for the long haul. Of course, your feelings for this man and his for you are also important considerations.

I just feel that fantasising about other people while having sex is fine but when it becomes incessant and automatic, then I feel you have a problem in your relationship.

SHIFT HIS THOUGHTS

It's a perpetual debate that has gone on for decades - how men and women view relationships. Yes, surely, I expect some righteous, moralistic male to write in and say that's not accurate...ya-da, ya-da, ya-da... but for the sake of a purposeful generalisation, this holds true!

I guess the only effective way to get a man's mind off sex is to give him loads of really great sex! That way, the only thing that will consume his mind is you! How to woo you to have you for keeps.

THE ULTIMATE SURPRISE

Photo courtesy of Edenfantasys.com

Nothing quite thrills a woman more than receiving lingerie as a present in the mail. What will make it even better is when it is a perfect fit. Unfortunately, not many women can say that. And I’m not just referring to those who receive gifts from boyfriends. Husbands get it wrong too.

Buying lingerie is one of the things that you just have to get spot on. There is no margin of error because too big and she may interpret it as you suggesting she is out of shape, while too small a size may open up an uncomfortable discussion about you not knowing (and paying close attention to) her well - I'm guessing that's not a conversation you will look forward too. Besides, it is unlikely that you will be able to return any such intimate items for obvious reasons.

Edenfantasys has a wonderful selection of the most divine and naughty outfits and they do make it very easy to choose the size and color you want. All it takes is a tick or two and you're on your way. No awkward inquiries with sniggering or suspicious salesgirls. It is very likely that they also had the male buyer in mind when designing their site.

However, the onus of making the ultimate selection is still on the man. So invariably, this calls for you to embark on some subtle research of your own. I’m sure asking point blank would be the easiest but that would defeat the while point of surprising her with lingerie.

This is one reason why you should try to go shopping with your partner every now and then instead of heading out for a beer with the guys. Watch, listen and learn. Asking about her exact proportions (cup size, waist, hips, etc.) would not seem suspicious while at the mall shopping together. It’s not quite a topic for conversation during a dinner date!

Ask her what she likes; strapless bras or with straps, under-wire or smooth cups, full coverage or demi-bras, panties or thongs, conservative or kinky. What type of fabric does she adore?

Remember you are buying something she has to feel comfortable in and not what you want to see her in. If you go through that trouble, she will appreciate it and you can expect to be rewarded kindly.

Women know men don’t fancy shopping so when a guy takes the trouble to buy something for her, and gets it right, she will be impressed. Many women feel great to occasionally have her man buy clothes for her and the more intimate the item, the more intimacy she is likely to reward him with.

A LITTLE HEAD PLEASE


Here is a joke sent in by Wendy71. She was even kind enough to send this image.

A boy was walking down the road when he noticed an old geezer with an unusually small head. The curious boy walked up to the geezer and said, "Hey mister! Why the heck is your head so small?"

The old man looked at the boy and replied, "Boy, if I wasn't so damn old, I'd give you a beating... but since you remind me of myself at your age, I will tell you."

The boy listened curiously as the geezer explained, "One day I was fishing on the pier when I got a huge bite... And, I said to myself, 'Holy shit! I've caught a whale!'"

"No kidding?" pried the boy. The geezer continued, "But, when I reeled it up, to my surprise, it was a gorgeous mermaid! Well, she looked at me in tremendous fright and said she'd grant me one wish if I let her free..."

"And?" interjected the boy. "Well, after some quick thought, I looked at her and said, 'How 'bout a little head?'"

MS: So here is another story to tell a woman for all of you out there with a small head. I hadn't realised it then but my one o fmy first boyfriends did have a tiny head. I mean so tiny that my thumb was possibly as big as it.

FUCK BUDDY GONE BAD


The sister of one of my girlfriends (let's call her Sheila) was just discharged from the hospital after spending two days there for observation after a concussion. She knocked her head against a metal gate - well, at least that is what she told the doctors and nurses there.

The truth is, she had a coffee-table flung at her by a guy, who was her so-called fuck-bubdy. I met the guy at a party a few months back and my first impressions of him were not good.

For a fuck-buddy, he seemed too clingy and overly observant over Sheila's every move. She did mention that he was good in bed but that was something that didn't jive with me especially since there's was a friends-with-benefit kind of relationship. I mentioned that to my friend but she brushed me off as being overly paranoid based on my pass.

Those who have followed my blog will know that during my youth, I was in a very abusive relationship - both physical and emotional - that I had struggled to shake off. So I can sniff those kinda guys, miles away and I am NEVER wrong about them.

Such guys are just insecure cowards and Sheila's fuck-body struck me as one coming from a similar mold. I hate to say it but I was right from the beginning.

The one rule that fuck-buddies or friends with benefits should abide by is that jealousy of any measure should not enter the fray. Being protective, possessive or insecure are clearly traits that disqualify one from the fuck-buddie game.

I think that these rules should be clearly mapped out in the beginning. In a way, knowing too much about your fuck-buddy is tempting fate because there is a saying that the more you know someone, the more you grow to dislike or love that person. Now this is clearly against the govenring rules of this lifestyle.

Know them just enough to feel comfortable. Dates should not be entertained, at least not formal ones. Holding hands or any other forms of intimacy is again, plodding on thin ice. Keep it simple, keep your distance and keep it all about sex.

The moment your fuck buddy shows signs of being jealous, that is the time you should end the association.

WEIRD ARRIVAL

It's been awhile since I posted something about the weird keyword searches that have brought some visitors to Missus Singapore. So I decided to take a peek at some statistics blogger offers and my eyeballs almost popped out. Ironically, it had to do with another sort of balls popping out. Are you ready for this?

"Sex til his balls pop out!"

How on earth does a set of keywords like this end somebody here? More importantly, who in his/her right mind would be so sadistic as to have a guys nuts pop out! Sex or not, that has certainly got to hurt some. Makes you really wonder what goes on in between some people's ears.

SOLUTION FOR PE, CAUSE OF ED


These images were sent in by Wen sometime back. I misplaced them but when I finally stumbled upon them, I told myself that I needed to post asap.

It was actually ads for Durex Performa condoms which apparently contain benzocaine (a mild anaesthetic), witch helps men last longer in bed. To highlight the product's benefit it was distributed with limited edition pillowcases during New Zealand’s biggest annual sex expo, Erotica. The pillowcases proved such a hit with the guys that hundreds more were printed and sold.

I suppose with faces like that in front of you, cumming too soon would be the least of your problems. Try getting a hard-on first.

AROUSE SANS TOUCH


I know this is going to sound strange to some of you but there has been so much talk about touching during sex that often, many of us forget that sometimes, no touch is good. Let me explain.

Instead of touching each other all over, try this instead. Run your hand over his bare back and behind and inside the thighs, without any contact. But make sure it is close enough for him to feel the warmth of your palms. For those of you who are familiar with tantric sex, this is one technique used to forge a type of spiritual connection between lovers.

For me at least, the sensation of the palms' warmth helped to awaken my senses.

Who says you have to touch each other to get goosebumps?

PREVENTING UNPLANNED PREGNANCY

First-Ever Advertising Campaign to Address Unplanned Pregnancy Among Young Women in the U.S. Launches Nationwide; Offers Tools and Advice at Bedsider.org

Here is a cause that I've always believed in strongly so when this person asked if I could help to promot this campaign, I didn't hesitate one bit. It's something that seems to be an evergreen problem. Noticed I used the word 'problem' but it can and has proven to be a catastrophe as many can attest to.

The message a few decades ago was to avoid pre-marital sex. But in this day and age, let's be realistic, more people are having sex at a younger age than before. While it's always ideal to wait, we cannot expect that everyone will do so. But premarital sex is only the tip of the iceberg, in terms of the problems that can follow.

I knew several girls during my younger days who fell into the pit of an unplanned pregnancy and sadly, they lived to regret it. One of them did was fortunate enough to meet a man who looked beyond her teenage folly and marry her. They now have a wonderful life together with two other children. She is also now a successful entrepreneur. But that is perhaps the exception rather than the norm.

Don't tempt fate because it can destroy your life, kill your youth and burn your dreams up. Dare I say that women stand most to lose because her options may be limited. A guy can up and leave without blinking an eye - not because he may not have strong feelings for you but because he may just be totally freaked out.

I think a cause like this is wonderful, absolutely relevant not just in the US but also across the world. This should be a global initiative. Since those days in the 80s when AIDS hit the headlines and safe sex was the message every which way you turn, I feel that the momentum has withered somewhat. So this is timely. Visit the site and pass the message along.

WAR AGAINST AIDS


As a species, we spend a lot of time, energy and money on fighting each other. Can you imagine what the war on aids would be like today if we had pumped all those resources into figthing it?

AIDS is still a problem, more so in the less developed countries but at least we are beginning to hear some positive news. There is still a long way to go but considering how tragic the early years were, there is some reason to smile.

In 1988, when it first emerged, the infection was like a wildfire out of control and doctors looked on helplessly. The life expectancy during that time was about two years. With medical treatment, the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS is no longer considered an automatic death sentence.

According to WHO, more than 6 million people in the developing world are now receiving antiretroviral treatment. In the hardest-hit continent - Africa - some three million people are receiving treatment thanks to the U.S. President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

With news that the number of new infections each year around the world has dropped by approximately 25 percent over the past decade, the dawn of new scientific advances augurs well for further battles to bring AIDS incidences even lower.

On December 1st, we observe World AIDS day. It was first observed in 1988 as a way to increase awareness of the disease and support those affected by it, their families, their communities, even entire countries. It provided an opportunity to fight prejudice against people living with HIV, improve knowledge about the disease among the wider population, and raise money for research.

From now until 2015, the WHO's theme is "Getting to Zero:" Zero New HIV Infections. Zero Discrimination and Zero AIDS Related Deaths.

So while you spare a thought for those suffering from the disease, remember that you can ensure that you do a part in keeping it at bay. Two words: "Safe Sex". Enough said.
