I’m really impressed with this carnival’s development. Want to participate? Find out more info here. I’ll be hosting an edition this September.

I had just finished making my morning coffee with a new guy called. (I’ll call him NG.) We hit it off right away. He told me his fantasy and I commented in what felt like all the right places. Most of my great calls have started off with the guy first reviewing his fantasy for me. Then we go into our respective roles and act out the fantasy together.
NG’s fantasy was a complex one. There were many elements of physical domination-spankings, golden showers, chastity. But the real kink for him was the mental domination. The fantasy consisted of multiple people, character development, plot lines and twists.
We talked all through the day. While he gave me fantasy details I ate my bowl of yogurt for breakfast. Later I’d get him talking so I could take bites of my salad with the mute button on. We’d take a couple minute break here and there so both of us could stretch or go to the bathroom. I’d instant message Mr. Radical in his office and he’d run me up coffee to keep me going. (having a SO that provides food support has gotten me through many a call) Later that night he brought me dinner.
NG and I really connected. One of my strongest points as a PSO is my ability to weave a story. The more complex the fantasy is the better call I give. Again and again he’d paused and gush over what a great call this was and how he was so grateful he picked me to call that day.
His was the first call of the day and the very last before bed. His wasn’t my longest call but it’s in the top five.
First calls like his rock. They boost your PSO confidence and help combat burn out. After my disasterous call with Disappointed Client’s call, NG’s call confirmed that I’ve still got what it takes to work the phones. Before hanging up, he thanked me for such a fantastic call. I thanked him back.

From Religion News Service:
Creator of shirtless Mormon calendar excommunicated
“The creator of a controversial calendar featuring shirtless Mormon missionaries has been excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after meeting with a disciplinary committee on Sunday (July 13).
Chad Hardy said the “Men on a Mission” calendar was intended to provoke discussion among Mormons, but church leaders in Warm Springs, Nev., found his conduct “unbecoming a member of the Church,” according to a letter obtained by the Associated Press.”
(snip)
“The calendar was first released last year through Hardy’s Web site, http://mormonsexposed.com, and features 12 shirtless male missionaries in various poses. Models had all completed two-year missions, and were active participants in the church.”
From Salon:
Mormon missionary calendar-maker excommunicated
“”Men on a Mission,” which has sold nearly 10,000 copies at $14.99 each, included pictures of 12 returned missionaries wearing black slacks, but not their trademark white shirts, in modest poses. The men also were photographed in traditional missionary garb and share their religious beliefs in biographical sketches.
Some of the 12 models have also been called to disciplinary meetings, but none were punished.”

This sex roundup has some updates.
First up from the Chicago Sun Times:
Judge throws out law making bookstores pay fine to sell porn
“A federal judge threw out a new Indiana law requiring bookstores and other retailers to register with the state and pay a $250 fee if they want to sell sexually explicit material.
U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker, ruling Tuesday on the day the law took effect, found it too broad and said it could be applied against ‘’unquestionably lawful, nonobscene, nonpornographic materials being sold to adults.'’”

Via Violet Blue:
Crime and punishment
“Max Mosley is suing the News of the World for saying he took part in a Nazi-themed orgy.
(snip)
He says that it was a private party with consenting women and this week launched a case against the News of the World, saying that its stories were not, as it claims, in the public interest and had violated his privacy. “I’ve been doing [S&M] for 45 years and … if it hadn’t been for bribery and illegal acts, this wouldn’t have come out,” said Mosley, who added that he had kept his activity from his wife.”
Right on to Mosley! His fetish may be taboo but he still has to the right to have it. And 45 years in the scene-wow.

From the BBC:
SA prostitution plans condemned
“Plans to legalise prostitution for the 2010 football World Cup in South Africa have been criticised by religious groups and opposition parties.
The local authority in Durban wants legalised adult entertainment venues during the tournament.
But African Nazareth Democratic Movement (ANDM) president Thokozani Hlatshwayo said the proposal was “against the word of God”.
(snip)
Opposition parties fear that, if introduced, it could become permanent.”

From The Sun:
S&M Barbie lashed by public
“Barbie’s new S&M look has whipped up a storm – with protesters dubbing it “filth”.
The doll’s image is transformed with kinky fishnets, motorcycle jacket, black gloves and boots.
Makers Mattel say Black Canary Barbie, out in September, is based on a DC comic superhero of the same name.”
As Vanilla Edge rightly points out this is not the kinkiest Barbie. He blogs about Catwoman Barbie and Caberet Barbie. But I was reminded of the truly kinkiest Barbies I’ve ever seen-Fetish Dollies . Artist Nancy Farmer may not have updated her site in awhile but her archives are worth checking out.

“You’ll fuck the pregnant Virgin Mary in the ass so hard it makes the baby Jesus cry.”
-me
The client wanted an extremely blasphemous religious fantasy. I took him there and he loved it.

Seal Press sent me Sarah Katherine Lewis’ latest book to review, Sex and Bacon.
“It’s said that how we eat is reflective of our appetite in bed. Food and sex: two universal experiences that can easily become addictive and all consuming. You don’t need to look far—The Food Network, billboards, and TV spots, to name just a few—to witness firsthand the explosive combination of food and sex.
In Sex and Bacon, Sarah Katherine Lewis is a seductress whose observations about the interplay between food and sex are unusually delightful, sometimes raunchy, and always absorbing. Sex and Bacon is a unique type of lovefest, and Lewis is not your run-of-the-mill food writer.
A lusty eater who’s spent the better part of her adult life as a sex worker, Lewis is as reckless as she is adventurous. She writes of eating whale and bone marrow as challenges she was incapable of resisting. With chapters that hone in on the categorically simple—fat, sugar, meat—Lewis infuses even the most quotidian meals and food memories with sensual observations and decadence worthy of savoring. Sex and Bacon is exuberant—a celebration that honors the rawness and base needs that are central to our experiences of both food and sex.”
Chapter one’s opening line grabs the attention-”A warm tongue in your ass is like being baby-wiped: an infantile exercise in gentle, soap-free cleaning, more about the idea of boundaryless porn star virtuosity than actual mind-blowing erotic sensation-or so I’ve found, anyway.”
I predict this book will be subtle, occasionally hinting at the author’s desires yet not daring to describe them in detail. 
Seriously though, the book looks to be a fun read. Any author that uses the phrase “ass-karma” has got to be good for a few laughs right? I’ll let you know.
Seal Press also sent me her earlier book Indecent.
“Indecent is not your average I-stripped-my-way-through-college memoir. Sarah Katherine Lewis is a veteran of the sex industry who started small—doing lingerie modeling and striptease shows—but for reasons including the desire to earn more money and curiosity about other types of sex work moved into porn, and ultimately into illegal work.
Lewis is smart, self-aware, and bitingly funny. Where other writers in this genre have generally shielded themselves from letting things get too bad or go too far, Lewis comes face-to-face with the unimaginable. Her experiences with customers, whose fetishes and behaviors range from obscene to bizarre to twisted, are often recounted with outrageous and caustic humor. Lewis is a brilliant observer of human nature and has a read on her employers and coworkers that lends unique insight into the seedy underground of the more hardcore sex industry. Lewis is a sex worker by choice. She neither condemns nor condones the work, though she depicts her experiences with a gallows humor that reveals the complexity of professional adult sex work. Indecent offers readers an insider’s account of hard-earned lessons and acute insight gained from over a decade in the trenches of one of America’s most insidious and lucrative industries.”
You should see my nightstand. There’s a sex work book, a book on Paganism and a book on knitting. Looks like my summer reading is packed.
