Masque has launched a new intimacy enhancement product that the company said is scientifically proven to mask the taste of oral sex on a man.

The product is called Masque Sexual Flavors and is a thin gel strip that dissolves on the tongue and conceals unpleasant tastes for up to 15 minutes, the company said.

“This is not a novelty item. It is a scientifically researched product developed to address an important issue among couples who may have been unwilling to talk about this in the past,” said Michael Guilfoyle, chief operating officer of Masque.

“Our research indicates that men and women across a wide range of ages, income, education and geography are interested in using a product like this.”

The company said that several years of research and development led to the creation of Masque Sexual Flavors. The company worked with two scientific firms to develop a formula that blocks the salts, proteins and bitter tastes often encountered when performing oral sex on a man.

Masque has developed the product in chocolate, strawberry and watermelon flavors. “We set out to make a unique and effective product. Every Masque gel strip is created and tested in an FDA-approved facility before getting individually packaged in a foil pouch,” Guilfoyle said.

“Masque products are also 100 percent made in the U.S.” Masque Sexual Flavors can be purchased on the company’s website for $12. Each pack contains three individually-wrapped gel strips.

The Fetish Fantasy Series from Pipedream is great for introducing beginners into lots of fun fetishes. The Inflatable Tilt Master is a way to introduce sex furniture into the bedroom. The downside to this toy: it’s inflatable. It was a pain in the ass to blow up and after using it for awhile, it deflated a little bit. It is great to use for all sorts of sexual positions, from oral to banging positions. It holds up to 300 pounds and comes with a free mask.

In less than two weeks, soliciting oral and anal sex won’t be considered a felony in the state of Louisiana.

Most might be blown away hearing that the state still limits sex acts, but they have been on the books since the early 1800s, even a number of years before it achieved statehood.

Legislation initiated by state Sen. Jean Paul J. Morrell decriminalized the crimes from felony to misdemeanor status. The solicitation of “unnatural carnal copulation” meant longer jail terms and the branding of “sex offender” on state-issued driver’s licenses.

But there still is a price to pay if cited for some back-door action.

Starting Aug. 1, offenders can face up to six months in jail and a maximum of $500 for anything other than vaginal intercourse. Two convictions though still get the offender labeled with being a sex offender.

Alice Bruce was not a fan of oral sex until she developed the Lickie Dickie.

The Lickie Dickie is essentially a scented napkin with a perforation
in the center for the penis. The napkin blocks pubic hair and catches fluids while the scent masks any undesirable odors.

“Every time I was approached by my husband for oral sex it seemed like a chore instead of something that I enjoyed,” Bruce told XBIZ. “I knew how much he enjoyed the act, so I set out to make the experience a little better for the giver.”

Bruce, who previously worked as a mortgage broker, began her foray into the adult industry by casually discussing her idea with other women.

“I was quite shocked to find out that most of them were not real fans of oral sex either,” she said. “I also learned that this is something that the younger crowd (in their 20’s) does almost as if it were a kiss.”

Bruce said she proceeded by asking adult retailers for feedback on the product and its logo and packaging.

“They were totally impressed telling me that the great thing about this product is that I have a 100 percent of the market as nothing else like this exists,” she said.

The industry’s encouragement inspired Bruce to patent the product and trademark the name and by the December, the Lickie Dickie was ready for distribution. Now, Bruce’s mission is to spread the word on her product and clear up any misconceptions, she said.

“It seems as though some don’t understand the reasoning behind my making the Lickie Dickie genital oral sex napkin,” Bruce said. “Sure, it could be used as a novelty for bacheloretes, grooms or pleasure parties but it wasn’t made as a novelty. It was made to help others that have issues with oral sex.

“This product is not for the person that likes messy, wet, slobbery oral sex — it’s for the person that likes to have things a little neater, more hygenic, with the freshest scent in mind.”

Bruce’s future plans for the Lickie Dickie include adding multipackaging as well as new fragrances.

When it comes to American adults’ sexual practices — oral sex, in particular, Adam & Eve’s survey found that most adults are all for it.

Adam & Eve’s “Great American Sex Survey” asked over 1,000 American adults how they felt about both giving and receiving oral sex. Over 66% of the respondents reported enjoying giving oral sex, and over 79% said they enjoyed receiving it.

“While there is some discrepancy between those who enjoy performing the act and those who enjoy receiving it, overall these results show that most adults consider oral sex to be a healthy, positive and important part of sexuality,” says Chad Davis, Marketing Director for Adam & Eve.

Additionally, the survey revealed that 25% of those polled said they sometimes get enjoyment from performing oral sex on their partners. Seven percent of respondents said they did not enjoy giving oral sex, and 2% said they had never done it.

With receiving oral sex, 15% of the respondents reported they sometimes enjoy it, 4% said they do not enjoy it, and 2% said they had never been on the receiving end.

“Adam & Eve encourages American adults to add oral sex to their erotic repertoire,” says Davis. “It’s encouraging to us that this survey shows that most adults find it an acceptable part of their lovemaking.”

The web-based survey, conducted by Cvent, of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.

When you break up with someone, there often are leftover artifacts that unbearably remind you of the happier times of the relationship. Some common items:

• the blanket you cuddled under on cold days
• the giant sweatshirt you wore on fat days
• the pillow you used to prop up your hips on sex days

My breakup wasn’t dramatic, it wasn’t soul scarring, and it certainly wasn’t an event that left either of us crying alone in a corner humming “our song” and burning old photos. So when I see various objects around the house that remind me of my former love, I feel perfectly fine.

But I’ve realized there’s one item that hits a nerve, and not in a good way. It’s my big blue dildo.

Let me explain.

When he and I first got together, it was after a tight two-year friendship and we were as close as you could get to being gf/bf minus the sex. So when we found our first summer as a couple was to be spent 3,000 miles apart (him in L.A., me in NYC) we were bummed.

A few weeks into my big-city summer, I found myself wandering the Lower East Side and into a store called Babes in Toyland (now known simply as Babeland). This was my first introduction to the world of sex toys.

I was inspired to find a dildo that resembled the shape of my beau’s tool. That led me to Dino (manufacturer’s name, not mine), a solid silicone item made to last forever.

Dino went from the summer’s boyfriend replacement to a regular fixture in our bedroom for years following his purchase.

SIDENOTE: Dildos are great with oral sex. Start practicing, guys, she’ll think you’re a god.

Dino still sits in my toy chest today, as solid and blue as the day I bought him. He has roommates now — pink ones, wood ones, curvy ones — but despite his foolproof ability, I’ve consciously bypassed his little velvet pouch.

Partly because of Dino’s physical likeness to my former beau, and partly due to the slew of wonderful memories he triggers.

But I think the most painful is the realization that this dildo, made to withstand years of use and abuse, will always be there. It won’t deteriorate over time. It won’t crumble or dissolve, and it’ll always make me feel good. It guarantees everything that a relationship can’t.

During oral sex, a woman doesn’t have a raging orgasm after 5 minutes of python-like tongue-flicking.

The porn scene: Guy rubs face into girl’s vagina. Girl coos in delight. Guy tenses tongue and flicks at girl’s clitoris – guys, this is the target if you’re looking for an orgasm to happen — while spreading apart the labia (aka “vagina lips”). Girl moans and groans, possibly even screams.

The real-life scene: Guy rubs face into girl’s vagina. Girl waits for guy to find her clitoris. Guy tenses tongue and flicks at it while spreading apart the labia. Girl tenses and winces. Guy stops after a few minutes and girl wonders what just happened.

Guys, think of it this way: You like your balls to be rubbed, lightly massaged, licked — NOT smacked. (Usually.) Each time your flexed tongue hits her clit, it’s like hitting your balls with a stick. (Yeah yeah not as painful, but painful still.) And the tighter you pull the skin away from the clit itself, the more exposed it is to the beating of your tongue. There’s a hood of skin there for a reason, and it’s not aesthetics.

There’s a reason why R&B singers and creepy characters on “Sex and the City” (Season 2, Episode 3) refer to eating ripe fruit when the topic of cunnilingus/pussy-eating arises. Think of how you eat a super-ripe peach, and apply it in the bedroom.

And please try not to get frustrated after 5 or 10 minutes down there; it often takes longer than that for a good orgasm to build. And if you make it obvious you’re irritated, she’ll be instantly distracted — either feeling guilty or angry at you — and the orgasm might not ever come. (Pun intended.)

Slow and steady wins this race, I promise.
