Shadow and Light

It can be difficult to find the time to check out everyone’s HNT photos. In this regular feature, I showcase my favourite pics of the week. If you like them, please visit the blogger in question and let them know – I certainly have.

Light and shadows is often what makes a photo. In this week’s favourites, take a look at how the contrast between the two increases the beauty of the image.

Raunchy Review: Cyberskin Euphoria Vibe

When my Cyberskin Euphoria arrived from Tabu Toys, the very first thing that I noticed was that there was a cyberskin button on the packaging that you can squish and fondle! It’s surprisingly fun, and it encouraged me to rip open the packaging and feel the toy itself.  I quickly discovered that the Euphoria is a two-part vibrator, as the Cyberskin is a sleeve which is removable. That means you can use both the big fat soft vibrator, or the big nearly-as-fat hard plastic vibrator beneath. Choices!

Tawharanui HNT

Tawharanui Regional Park is a gorgeous place – and has amazing beaches with lovely gentle surf. Now, I’m not big on beaches, because I burn, but armed with a trusty parasol and lots of sunblock, I don’t mind trekking out there for a few hours.

Apollo (somewhat reluctantly, but with great skill) took photos for me. He is a good husband, and took lots and lots of them. Click any of the pictures in this post for extra images!

Descending

I’ve known all my life that I don’t want to have kids. It’s been part of who I am, along with my green eyes and my size 10 feet: no children for me, please.

As such, I’ve been on birth-control since I was fourteen. In the nearly twenty years since, I’ve variously utilised pills, condoms, spermicide, IUDs, and diaphragms. So much work to have the sex without the baby-creation, but it was worth it!

Morning after

On Sunday morning I went to the pharmacy to get the morning-after pill.  It’s only the second time I’ve ever needed to ask for one (the last time was eight years ago). Once again, it was a reasonably easy process, and I count myself lucky to live where I do.

Why did I need it? The night before the condom had come off.

I wasn’t particularly freaked out about it. In fact, I was a little amused (at the situation), and a little annoyed (at myself, for not holding onto the base of the condom as I went to pull myself off Hylas and collapse). I wasn’t concerned about STD’s – he and I had both been tested a few months earlier, and our other partners also get tested regularly. No, I was most concerned about possible pregnancy.
