Dogs Best Friend

You know some days you love writing and other days you just have to be happy you don't own a dog.

For me right now 399 Euros could buy quite a lot. Thats about 630 dollars canadian, and that doesn't include shipping, but its the only price you'll pay if you want to buy your canine companion the latest in premium, designer, French, dog sex toys.

The Hotdoll, is the latest and greatest creation from the Lille, France based design studio "Feel Addicted." It is a small plastic, quadraped device, that has a small cone in the rear, made entirely out of silicone, and will allow mans best friend to, temporarily, bestow their affections on a totally inanimate object.

To be honest, it does look pretty amazing from a design perspective, and I would of never of guessed its true purpose at first glance, if it wasn't for website descriptions and the picture I found of a golden retriever sliding itself right up in the "cone."

The website chiefly in charge of selling these bastions of excess, describe a simple reasoning for purchase, but the paragraph is so full of spelling mistakes and poor grammar that I refuse to even quote it on this website. To paraphrase, "are you tired of your dog humping your things and friends?" 

It almost seems like an erotic version of the cats scratching post. Though it does come with its features, like non-slip rubber feet, and black plastic cap, to hide the tortured orifice.  It does seem though that there is one point that people seem to be missing.

Make a slightly bigger hole and most human males could, and some fetishists would, fuck a designer made, French, dog shaped figurine, even share it with their pet, making this the sickest phenomena in the western world. The worst consequence being that eventually I'll have to write about it, and we're kink positive here, so as long as the real dog was safe I wouldn't be able to take issue with it.  

Yet I regress, its odd, its interesting, its cool looking, its imported, and its expensive, but I just have this feeling that somewhere, out in west Hollywood, some poor dog is watching some poor human dicking around with his sex toy.

Cross All Your T's and Dot All Your Gays

Friends and regular readers, they both exist I swear, will know that I'm putting together plans to launch "thedirtyword.com," but all that's pretty slow coming at the moment. 

I love the internet, despite all the scams, electronic dating dishonesty, illegal pornography, and that website my ex made about me, its given every man, woman, and small asian child a voice, united the kinky world together, and made news and information accessible to anyone near a library. Its also made social and political movements, good and bad, easier to unearth for any would-be activist, or organizer.

Well there are now two companies battling it out to control a small part of sexual activism and profiteerism. 

I will one day soon have "thedirtyword.com" I promise that, but no matter who wins the race to registry I could, one day soon, if I chose to, have "thedirtyword.gay." 

Isn't that awesome?

I won't though, this is a pro-gay website, that discusses gay issues , and gay sexuality and kink, but we also discuss, strait issues, strait sexuality and kink, and by combination of the two we cover bisexuality as well I suppose, we love trannies, and yes, we're inching toward asexuality as well. So until there is an acronym to cover all human beings sexual idenities  and someone pays the near 200,000 dollars to let me toss it on the end of a web address we'll continue to set our sights on dot com, while secretly wishing we were cool enough to be dot gay.

The really awesome part is that while the "Dot Gay Alliance," and "Dotgay.com" seem to be in competing for ownership of the TLD (top-level domain), both promise to donate profits to LGBT(QIA) charities. 

The biggest difference according to Nathan Strang, a writer for The Bilerico Project (bilerico.com) is that the Dot Gay Alliance is run by Joe Dolce, a gay publisher and editor, while Dotgay.com is managed and run by Alexander Schubert, a strait European businessman, who is also creating other "dots" like ".green," or ".nyc."

While according to the "Dot Gay Alliance," at least 51% of profit generated will go back into the LGBT(QIA) community, "Dotgay.com" states that "Over two thirds of the ownership and thus profits are controlled by the LGBT community. That means that over two thirds of the profit of each “.gay” domain name purchase are donated for the LGBT cause." 

Which at first glance sounds great, but to me, could be interpreted in two ways. One, that queer based charities are going to control a majority of the ownership and receive the profit, or, two, that a majority of queer people are going to be placed in charge, which doesn't necessarily denote that it will effect the whole community, just select members of it. 

My cynical interpretation aside, it does seem like sincere promises, on both sides, meaning that no matter what, the community will benefit, and even more wonderfully, the internet will get a little more gay.

Television, Don't Sit to Close

The Health minister of India has worked out a new plan, that he believes will slow population growth in his country. 

I warn you, its progressive, its outside the box, and its main basis is to give every home in rural India electricity, but it doesn't include electrodes to the testicles. That's right, because with their exploding populous something has to be done and Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad is poised to fix, so to speak, all of India's ever expanding problems with television. 

They celebrated the astonishing 1 billionth birth in the year 2000, the population grows by a whopping 18 million new born babies every year, and by 2028 they will of over taken China, as the worlds most populated country. There are religious, and cultural importance attached to having a large family, and a massive amount of scepticism toward government family planning, due to the failed 1970s sterilization program, that left many young, unwed, poor men snipped to mit.

So what is the new televised solution? Could it be a respectful, educational, and valuable government sponsored series on the dangers of over population, the risks of HIV, and the effective forms, and uses, of birth control?

No, of course not. First off that would be too simple and logical, and secondly the whole tone of this article would be different. 

What Azad has proposed, is that they provide all of India with electricity, so that they can watch television, which, as house wives across America will attest, kills the sex drive. 

"If there is electricity in every village, then people will watch TV till late at night and then fall asleep. They won't get a chance to produce children," he was quoted saying, and yes he has gone on record to point out that he wasn't joking.

Well as much as the last season of Everybody Loves Raymond makes me never want to have sex again, ever, the plan does seem a little flawed.

The family planning and safe sex movement were halted in India decades ago by poor, and discriminatory policy in the 1970s. An aggressive government funded education initiative is needed to effect the next generation of Indian citizens, not a wish, not a prayer, and not the late show, though everyone still likes Conan.
