Bamboo Lingerie, Gives You a Woody Feeling

Lingerie brings to mind images of sexy looking women so when we go out to purchase lingerie, what we are in fact purchasing, is a little bit of sexiness. What a lot of women fail to realise is that sexiness is not really about how you look, it is about how you feel and that is what natural bamboo fabric in lingerie is all about.

The benefits of this top-line organic fabric when used in lingerie are quite a lot, and more women are beginning to appreciate these benefits in their lingerie.

1. Luxurious Feeling: natural bamboo fabric has a soft and luxurious feeling that is even more evident when it is placed next to the skin. With the characteristic breathability of cotton, this natural fabric feels more like silk on the body and when spun into yarn, is even softer than silk fibre.

2. Natural Antibacterial and Antifungal. Bamboo itself has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties that are unique to it. It is intrinsic to the plant itself so that after the process of making the fabric has been passed through, it still retains those antibacterial and antifungal qualities. In fact, textile tests done on natural bamboo fabric shows that even after several washes, the antibacterial and antifungal properties of the fabric still remain intact.

3. Giving Back. One benefit of using fabrics made with natural bamboo in lingerie is the confidence which comes from knowing you are doing your bit for the environment. They are seen as a top eco-friendly fabric because the manufacturing process is very environmental friendly. Sexiness comes from confidence, which comes from the inside; from knowing your worth and the value you add to humanity. What better way to add value and feel good at the same time?

4. Hypoallergenic Properties. Generally, one problem a lot of people experience with wearing natural fabrics so close to the skin is an allergic reaction. However, with this top organic fabric there are very little, if any allergic reactions. This is because the fibres are naturally smooth and round and undergo almost no chemical treatment, making them extremely suitable for wearing next to the skin.

5. Excellent Absorption Rate. Natural bamboo fabric is highly water absorbent and can absorb three times its weight in water. What this translates to in lingerie is that when you are wearing a lingerie made from this natural fabric, you get a higher level of comfort because it absorbs moisture from the skin.

Natural bamboo fabrics are organic fabrics for several reasons. First of all, they do not require as much water as cotton to grow and its antibacterial and antifungal properties mean that the use of pesticides and other forms of herbicide becomes totally unnecessary. Secondly, it is less expensive than owning a silk item because bamboo grows very quickly, unlike the time that is used to grow a silk worm. Therefore, you get the luxuriousness of sheer, smooth and soft fabrics for affordable prices, while contributing to the preservation of the environment.

Spa Treatments of a Different Kind

Spas have been around since the ancient Romans, but the treatments found therein have fluctuated as much as the fashions. Some treatments are pretty uncommon and others are just plain bizarre. This is subjective, of course, but let's take a look at a few of each.

Uncommon Spa Treatments

A hot stone massage may sound intimidating, but is a blissfully relaxing indulgence with long lasting effects. Smooth basalt stones about the size of your palm are heated to 120 degrees, oiled, and then gradually worked into your back muscles. As the heat relaxes your muscles, the massage will go deeper, relieving your most stubborn knots and leaving you tender and loose.

The Vichy shower comes from France, as the name suggests. Think of a massage shower head, then multiply that by seven and you've got the idea. Not only is a Vichy shower head about four times as large as a regular shower head, it rotates, swivels, and travels horizontally around your body as you lay on a special wet bed. Usually one takes a Vichy shower in tandem with a body polish or wrap treatment such as a sea salt scrub. The jets of the Vichy shower will wash away the salt and dead skin cells leaving you clean and refreshed.

Mud baths have been around since ancient times and continue to be a feature of spas in the Napa Valley area of California. The mud is made from volcanic ash, peat, and natural mineral water. The minerals and enzymes in the bath help pull impurities from your skin while cleansing your pores. Mud baths are also used to treat arthritis.

Bizarre Spa Treatments

Fish pedicure Originating in Turkey, the fish pedicure is the latest trend in spa treatments. Clients place their feet in a small tank and small toothless fish called garra rufa feast on dead skin cells. This method is a less dangerous way of removing the skin, rather than using razor blades. The treatment leaves your feet smoother and softer. And it's a great story to tell afterwards!

Nightingale Excrement Facial Also known as the bird poop facial, this treatment comes from Japan. Geishas of the eighteenth century used nightingale excrement powder, which is rich in amino acid guanine, to remove heavy make-up. The modern day equivalent powder is treated with ultraviolet light to kill any bacteria. Proponents of this facial claim it gives the skin a pretty porcelain quality.

Snake Massage Currently unavailable in the US, the snake massage is said to offer relief of back pain. A spa in Israel uses non-venomous snakes to slither around the client's back. The treatment is said to have a calming effect on the client, once they overcome their misgivings.

Of course, there are plenty of spa treatments that are perfectly conventional and offer replenishing of the body and spirit. Whatever your tastes, I hope you find a spa that is the right fit for you.

Olympic Sex

Seems like everything is tied in with the Olympics in Beijing this week. Well, why not sex? Taoist sexual practices hold wisdom for every lover, whether Asian or not. If you know anything about the practice of Tantra, then you will find many of the Taoist practices to be similar.

There are several primary principles behind Taoism that can be applied to sexual practices. First and foremost is "chi," or energy. If you watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics, you saw a celebration of chi. Chi is the energy that is part of everything that exists. Another related concept is "jing," an energetic substance in the human body. When you lose all your jing, you will die. The Taoists believed that jing could be lost through bodily fluids, including semen, and so Taoist men would avoid ejaculation in order to conserve their jing.

There are different ways that a man can conserve his jing, or life essence. One way is to pull out just before orgasm when having intercourse. A second way is to press the perineum (the area between the scrotum and anus) in order to send the ejaculate back into the bladder. (Don't try this at home!) Another way is for a man to learn how to separate the events of ejaculation and orgasm. By stopping the pelvic floor from contracting, a man could keep himself from ejaculating and still have an orgasm.

Fortunately, jing can also be created through sexual union between a man and a woman. Lots of sex was considered to be good for a man's health and longevity. (So go for it!) Unfortunately, as might be expected from ancient Chinese practices, women were sometimes seen as a means for a man to retain his jing. On the other hand, because women did not give up any fluids, they were seen as being strong.

Taoist sex manuals also include information on when and where to have sex. For example, lovers were to avoid making love during storms, eclipses, earthquakes, and other events, which could cause ill health or offspring that were defective in some way. Taoist lovers were also to avoid having sex by the light of the sun, moon, or stars, near a temple, in a well (!) or near a grave or coffin (!)

If you want to adapt these ideas for your own Olympic sex marathon, one good thing to do would be to think of sex as creating jing, or energy. Many people complain of being "too tired for sex." Can you imagine how tired you would be if you were a Chinese person living 1500 years ago? If you looked at sex as creating energy instead of taking it, you might have more desire!
Another idea to quickly and easily put into practice is chi. When you have sex, think of you and your partner raising and exchanging energy. Energy is a sacred substance, and so when you are making love you are doing something special and sacred. Slow down, look into each other's eyes, and breathe together to honor and create chi.

Exciting Ways to Kiss

Different ways to kiss exist - but who said it was only the lips?

They say variety is the spice of life. And nothing makes romance spicier than varying your kisses. There are probably an infinite number of different ways to kiss, and I encourage you to try them all out. Many people discover new kisses just by being playful with their partner.

This is definitely one of the best methods for coming up with different ways to kiss. There is nothing wrong, however, with getting a few suggestions from others. If you want a few ideas for different ways to kiss, this article can help you. One fun kiss to try out with your partner is the aggressive kiss. This is sort of a Hollywood style kiss that you see when the hero kisses the heroine for the first time. He grabs her tight around the waist or on her shoulders, pulls her close, and plants a kiss on her. To make this work you need to apply a good deal of pressure on the mouth, and convey a sense of passion and strength.

This will probably work better with someone you are already intimate with, as it might scare a first date. Although in Hollywood it is almost always the man who uses this type of kiss, in the real, modern world there is no reason why a woman cannot use it as well.

Of all the different ways to kiss, the best to use on a warm day is one that involves ice cubes. You can either cool off your mouth first, by sucking on an ice cube, or you can keep the cube in your mouth and then kiss your partner. There are many different ways to kiss using this basic method. You could keep the cube in your mouth and glide it along your partner's back. You might substitute a frozen grape or strawberry for the ice cube, and then exchange it with your partner.

The key here is to have something cold in your mouth. Try it out and experiment with that basic idea. Kissing the face can be an incredibly sensual and intimate experience. These different ways to kiss are great for changing things up or for building excitement at a gradual pace. This is also good when your breath stinks and you have no way to brush your teeth or pop a mint. These things happen sometimes.

Best to stay away from any mouth to mouth action and give your partner some light kiss on the forehead and eyes. Different ways to kiss that are more sensual and playful than outright sexual can be great ways to transition from mundane life to romantic life.

These three different ways to kiss can help to spice up any romantic encounter. They will add some variety to your relationship, and will show your partner that you are a creative and thoughtful person. If your partner knows that you are romantically creative, they will be much more likely to reciprocate by taking the initiative as well. This is what leads to happy relationships.

Thrill Seekers and Public Sex

When you are young, frisky, horny, and in love, or in a long-term couplehood that needs spicing-up in the sex department, then sex in public sounds like a good idea. Doing it in an open domain has been in everybody's top 5-fantasy list. The risk of getting caught seems so rousing and fun at the same time. Whether you want to do it in the mall's parking area or in a club's bathroom, you have to keep in mind that when you want to have sex in public, location is important. Here are some points to remember on how to have sex in public.

"I was twenty when I had my first public sex adventure," says Mae, 34.

"My boyfriend and I were in a rock concert, there was booze everywhere. I was wearing my A-line skirt at that time with no undies underneath it; I guess I was really planning for it. After four shots of tequila, we moved back into a corner, and did it. I was great. I thought it would go smoothly until a bunch of punks caught us in a very uncompromising position. They laughed and applauded us. The mood was over. My boyfriend grabbed me by the arm and got out of there. It was a great thing not everybody can afford camera phones then. So if you want to do it in public, my advice is to do it where people cannot see you, or would not mind in case they see you."

So take it from the woman who did and was caught doing it. One of the most popular spot to lessen the risk of getting caught, but doesn't not compromise the excitement factor, is of course the car. Thanks to Henry Ford, his invention did not only revolutionize the transportation industry, but also contributed in firing-up people's sex life.

Another popular public location to get naughty with your hunny is probably the bathroom. This semi-public place is a good start for beginners. In some bars, bathroom attendants take advantage of adventurous couples by charging twenty dollars for ten minutes in a stall. However, even if the bathroom attendant has your back, there are laws in every state against indecency and public nudity. This means that when you get caught, you could land up to a year in a slammer. But this is unlikely to happened, unless you go for the multi-hour tantric action.

Quickies are relatively rare to get caught. This brings us to the second factor you need to consider when you decide to have sex in public- accessibility. To minimize the chances of someone spoiling your fun, it helps if you are wearing something uhm... accessible. For women, you could wear skirts sans panties, for men, you can go commando or a baggy boxers would do. This could give you a lightning speed in your prep time.

When it comes to position, lap sitting would be best. In this position, if anyone walks by, it just looks like you are sitting on your lover's lap.

Doing it in public is different for each couple, but majority of them wants the spontaneity of it all. Having a game plan would ruin its essence.

Having sex in public is not only about the adventure, but it's about wanting the person you are with so badly, it doesn't matter where you are.
