As a former Chef, food is very important to me. They say the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and for me that is most defienatlt true. In this column I will be reviewing great eats for not always well know places. For my first review, Legends Adult Entertainment Club was recommended by the girls in the industry as being one of the best. Legends is located right downtown next to St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit revitalizing downtown business district. Cecil, the courteous doorman, found us a nice booth and introduced us to our lovely server Sam. We ordered some cocktails and food right a way. The drinks where tall and refreshing, great value. After our simple salads that came with our dinners we dived into an order creamy Lobster Mac, which was loaded with huge chunks Maine lobertail, pasta and topped with some crunchy seasoned breadcrumbs, Then there was more lobster with the Surf and Turf. The Filet was perfect, cut-able with a fork accompanied with a nice dem

Friends Family Fetish Fired In business it’s said that friends and family can often be a liability.  I made both mistakes and they each ended with fetish folly that ended things on bad terms for both personal and business reasons. After opening my store I hired my younger brother “Nick” and long time friend “Tom.” Nick is a nice young man recently married and had become a trusted manager at the unnamed store. After investigating some missing money, I caught him on tape stealing $250. He never totally admitted to it, just looked down at the ground when confronted. I asked him what he needed money for, and he replied with a vague explanation about being in debt due to the recent wedding and other expenses. I decided to fire him, which was a really hard thing to do to your brother. In the subsequent weeks I discovered that immediately after the money turned up missing Nick and his new bride purchased a brand new sex swing that cost precisely $250. Tom had been my friend since high

We sat down with 26-year-old self-proclaimed hard working stoner bitch, Arielle, to learn about her experience in the adult industry, what makes her tick, and how her hustle game got so strong. Arielle’s story starts like many in the industry, she watched her single mom bust her ass to support three kids on the north side of Detroit. When Arielle found herself in a similar situation she decided to embrace her natural sex appeal and turned to dancing. “You need to hustle hard if you want to eat.” Good luck getting Arielle’s attention but spending money on her is a good start. “I’m obsessed with making money.” While money excites her the independence of being an entertainer is priceless but she does have some advice for women interested in the industry. “Be aware that people might try and use you. Be safe and avoid drugs or excessive alcohol while you’re working. You need a clear head.” When she isn’t working, Arielle enjoys her life to the fullest. Smoking weed, doing dabs a

Welcome to Friction and the topic of all things sex! I hope that in the months to follow we’ll be able to open up an honest dialogue about sex and our cultureand have a steamy time doing so.  A place where we’ll be able to explore different ideas about sex and sexuality, shed light and understanding and become savvier as sexual beings in our community. More than anything I hope we have fun! Fun? I know what you’re thinking.  Really? Politics. Politics is fun? I don’t get bombarded with politics enough nowadays, it has somehow infiltrated our sex life? Yes, yes it has. As your residential horny bi-sexual writer, I’m dismayed to think that we’ve placed yet reason not to have sex with someone on the score board. But like it or not, ladies and gentlemen, politics has followed us into the bedroom. There are a few studies (more surveys really, conducted from several dating services, and someone conducting an independent review or analysis of provided responses.  So I do feel as though

If you’re part of the 15% of adults who admittedly smoke cannabis in America you’ve probably have had high sex. It’s not rocket science that sex while high is better, however, one could argue that specific strains do carry hidden benefits during sex. Think about this, some forms of cannabis will give you cotton mouth. This wouldn’t normally be a problem but for a couple regularly engaging in oral this might become an issue. If you smoke something like Couch Lock and plan on locking down some fun time with your partner your sex might be nonexistent after that couch nap. With more states having dispensaries more people have access to mass varieties of cannabis. This can become quite tricky when you’re looking for that specific strain to boost your Netflix n chill night with bae. However, you shouldn’t be scared of being too stoned while humping instead you should be informed to which strains are going to liven the party. Lets start with the basics. INDICA VS SATIVA VS HYBRID. With

Lil Yachty - Peek A Boo ft. Migos A song about playing with pussy and money is stripper gold. Lil Yachty’s signature repetitive slow beats are sexy as hell and Migos brings enough hype to not kill the vibe. Travis Scott - Goosebumps ft. Kendrick Lamar Trippy distorted bass paired with Scott’s voice makes for an interesting sound. Solid slower beat and Kendrick’s verse makes this track an earworm. Paired with a dope ass stage show this is a track that can make you fall in love with stripper. Kid Ink - Supasoaka Tossin’ grands and suckin’ titties. Supasoaka is another track designed to get the crowd throwing money and the entertainers shaking all the right things. Easy beat to mix and loop. Sean Paul - Body ft. Migos Party anthem royalty Sean Paul brings Migos on board for this track to combine forces. “Hundreds of bottle and beautiful models.” is the standard theme for most of Paul’s tracks but this is sexy and danceable without being too cheesy. Slipknot

“It’s been a wild 14 years.” Jeff Hill declares on a low key Tuesday night at Flint’s Deja Vu Showgirls, one of the state’s oldest operating adult clubs. He is in the command center of the building. Giant monitors for security, lights, music and couch dances surround him as he casually introduces girls on stage and wrangles the next from the dressing room via an intercom. He makes it look effortless but there are a lot of moving parts even on a slow weeknight. This is why he’s one of the best in the business. Jeff got his start in radio back in 1999 on Detroit’s Rock Alternative station, 89X. He quickly made his way to the more lucrative strip club scene at Nathan J’s in 2000 where he stayed until 2003. After hearing of a possible DJ spot opening up across the street at Deja Vu he auditioned. The audition process went on for over a week with the former general manager, Bill Morris but ended with the old DJ being tossed out the front door while Hill was being escorted seamlessly in

CalExotic’s Luxe Touch sensitive vibrators have been blowing up the adult toy market for a few years. So, are they all hype or is this trend here to stay? I had the pleasure of testing CalExotic’s Luxe to find out. The Luxe Touch-Sensitive measures in at 6.5″ of insertable length, with a 1.5″ diameter. It’s coated in a satin-finish matte silicone skin. It features a semi-realistic head. There are no curves and it is very firm. Right off the bat, my vagina wishes for some squish. It is very stiff. Two touch points are located at the midpoint and base of Luxe’s shaft. There are also 10 settings which can be changed by pressing one button located near the base. The charging port is nestled opposite of the control button through the silicone skin. Bonus points for a wide yet thin suction cup base which makes this toy harness compatible. If you like to ride your toys Luxe could be your new bff. It’s rigid enough to stay erect and smooth enough to not need too much lubricant. T

Criss-Cross The Criss-Cross is a pleasure for everyone. The woman lays on a table about waist height with her legs over the edge. After entering between her legs, the man will lift and cross them to form an X. From here he can use the legs to steady himself or set them on his shoulder. This position not only grants access to her G-spot, but makes the penis feel twice as large as it really is. Allowing her to feel tighter around the shaft and him to feel like he's biggest she's ever had. For added pleasure tie her ankles with silk bondage rope. 

The Night Porter (1974) While love is usually portrayed as a wonderful and beautiful thing, there can be a dark side—few films have really explored this aspect. Italian director Liliana Cavani’s The Night Porter not only broaches this subject, it indulges some of our deepest fantasies and desires. It’s a film about two lovers who become so obsessed with their passion for each other that it decimates every single aspect of their respective lives. In a way, it can be considered the European equivalent to the Japanese film In the Realm of the Senses (1976) but filmed in a more art-house manner. Maximilian Theo Aldorfer (Dirk Bogarde) is a former Nazi SS member living in post WWII Germany who happens to encounter Lucia Atherton (Charlotte Rampling) a former prisoner of the concentration camp he oversaw. Thus begins an intriguing relationship that blurs the line between passion and complete insanity. The subject matter of the film was (and still is) a taboo subject. There i

Navy Seal by Day, Porn Star by Night California : Chief Special Warfare Officer Joseph Schmidt III is in hot water after the Naval Special Warfare Command found out he was moonlighting for the porn industry. SEALs spokesman, Capt. Jason Salata, told CBS, “There are very clear regulations which govern outside employment as well as prohibitions on behavior that is discrediting to the service.” Superiors are trying to determine if Schmidt had obtained permission from his commanders for his side work. The Officer has spent 23 years in the military with numerous medals and accolades. He has even been the face of the SEAL program on their website. For the past 8 years, he has also starred in over 29 adult films with his porn star wife, Jewels Jade. Though Schmidt declined to comment, his wife told news outlets that commanders in his unit knew of his work. She claims he was called in and told, ‘Look, keep it on the low, don’t mention the SEAL name and blah, blah, blah.’ Previously the mili
