THE FLIPPER Could you possibly imagine a toy that gives you the options of using it without any hands? What about a toy that could give you one hell of a oral stimulation? Well what about a toy that does both of these and vibrates? If not, you should because it is real and over at Platinum Pleasures, we call it the “Flipper”. Created by Inmi and originally called Lingus its pink, sleek silicone material is one that will catch your eyes and make you yearn for its ability to make you climax.

With its vibrating handle that is able to be used as a penetration device or a traditional vibrator, and its unique head design with dozens of tongue like stimulaters to give you that realistic tongue flickering sensation, it’s a sure way to keep you coming back for more. The vibration, spinning stim

Somehow we have made it all the way to 2017 without gracing Wonder Woman with a (good) live action film. Thankfully director Patty Jenkins, best known for her film Monster (2003), stepped up to the plate and gave Wonder Woman the origin movie that she richly deserved. Many are familiar with the basic story of Princess Diana (Gal Gadot) and her upbringing on the amazon paradise known as Themyscria. This film does an excellent job of organically catching up viewers who might not know this information (with some excellent stylized visuals to boot). We see Diana as a child and young adult, and get to witness some of the interesting customs and environments of Themyscria. I wish they would have spent a bit more time on the island as it was incredibly intriguing to watch the Amazons interact with each other. The story gets going a little bit too quickly with the arrival of an Amercian solider known as Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), and Diana is quickly whisked away into “the world of men” to

I’m a little late to the game but I figured that it isn’t too late to review the latest installment of the Tekken series, Tekken 7. T7 is a continuation of the storyline from Tekken 6 (the war between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation is still going on and Jin Kazama is still missing). Enter an investigative journalist who lost his wife and son during the war that Jin started, who gives us a little background on the G Corporation. Now that we’ve got the plot out of the way, I can discuss the game play. I like to play as Marshall Law, it’s sort of been that way for years. While he doesn’t have the best power moves, I enjoy the fact that this player strikes some powerful kicks and punches that drain his opponents’ energy significantly, which I can appreciate. Anybody like me who is a Bruce Lee fan, can also appreciate the fact that he doesn’t hold back any of those high pitched sound effects while he’s fighting. Can I get a HIII-YAHH?! Another standout character for me, par

Pleasure Talk With Amber “Oh, my God, Becky, look at her butt It is so big, she looks like One of those rap guys’ girlfriends But, ya know, who understands those rap guys? They only talk to her, because, She looks like a total prostitute, ‘kay? I mean, her butt, is just so big I can’t believe it’s just so round, it’s like out there I mean gross, look She’s just so, black.” For those who may not be familiar with the dialogue at the beginning of this article, let me bring you up to speed a little. In 1992, there was a rapper by the name of Sir Mix-a-Lot who released a song by the name of “Baby Got Back”. It was almost like the anthem for women with hips, thick thighs, big butts, hell any type of curve that was shunned in the media at that time. Although this song made it nationally known that women in the black community were proud to be thicker than women of other nationalities, plus-sized women were still unable to open a magazine or see models on the runway that looked l

Sex Position of the Month The butter churner is an advanced sex position in which the woman lies on her back with her legs raised above and behind her head. The man then squats and penetrates her from above. The thrusting motion in this position is similar to making butter in an old fashioned butter churner, which is how this position gets its name. The butter churner may also be known as the squat thruster.

V-Invert (Chopper) Place your strong hand on the pole with your weaker hand above it. Bring your legs up and when upside down open your legs in to a V shape, keeping them straight with pointed toes.

LEGENDS 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 definitely true. In this column I will be reviewing great eats from not always well known 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’s 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 away. The drinks were tall and refreshing, great value. After our simple salads that came with our dinners, we dived into an order of creamy Lobster Mac, which was loaded with huge chunks Maine lobstertail, pasta and topped with some crunchy seasoned breadcrumbs. Then, there was more lobster with the Surf and Turf. The Filet was perfect, cuttable with a fork

THE WEEKND The Weeknd was an easy choice for this month’s music to fuck to! He is one of the greatest pop singers of his generation, or any generation, who sings beautiful songs that fixate on true love and raw beautiful sex in great detail and exploration. His songs mostly derive from his personal experiences. This makes him easily relatable for a lot of us. He somehow finds a way to turn his heartbreak and traumatic experiences into beautiful love songs. He is truly unique, and has earned a name for himself as the king of sex pop! The Weeknd stands out so much because he’s not just singing about “regular” sex. He sings about perversion, darkness, and ecstatic releases that are very deep and allow you to really feel the passion. If his lyrics aren’t enough to get you in the mood, the beats and melodies are also perfect for the bedroom. The beats are deep, slow, and steady. He has the perfect albums for creating passion and ecstasy for almost any mood you’re in. If you’re looking for

What’s the Obsession with Catholic School Girls? Back to School Girls Ask any exotic dancer what the favorite themed “costume” is, what the guys go wild for, what really makes it rain in the club, and the unanimous answer is Catholic School Girl.  What is the fascination with school girls in uniform?  What is it about that short pleated skirt and crisp white shirt that loads so many springs? It did cause me to wonder.  In a society that heavily frowns upon pedophilia, how did sexual fantasies pertaining to under aged girls become so popular and mainstream?  If pedophilia is bad, what makes girls, in plaid skirts, pretending to be underage appealing if not widely acceptable? First, I do feel as though I should clarify, pedophilia is defined as a sexual disorder of those who have desires to have sexual relations with pre-pubescent adolescents.  Clearly, girls filling out white collared shirts with post-pubescent breasts do not fulfill pedophilic desires.  So I’m not calling a

Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me About five years ago, I experienced my first real heart break. I was dating this girl who started off as a friend and grew into something more. Those kinds of relationships are usually not ideal but I made the stupid decision to throw caution to the wind and ended up falling for her. She wound up becoming this raging bitch with emotional issues and I put up with it regardless. The break-up can’t really be considered a break-up either, considering the fact that she started treating me like a stepchild then shortly after she kicked me out of her house, I was stuck trying to find a place of my own right before the beginning of my senior year of college. Talk about a real burn. Enter online dating. My friend told me about a new dating app, and at the risk of ruining its reputation I’ll keep its name to myself. I was curious but hesitant.  I had no desire to be catfished, raped, or murdered so I wasn’t sure that scouring the app for dates was a good idea. On

Just the Tip For centuries, guys and girls alike have been searching for alternative methods of birth control that don’t interfere with or completely take away all of the lovely sensations that come along with sex. And now, The Jiftip Company has developed a new prototype that will serve as the ultimate safe sex solution. The Jiftip is a sticker that goes over the tip of the guys penis and acts as a cork, as it keeps the bodily fluid of semen from exiting. The website for the Jiftip states that nothing gets “in or out” during sexual activity until the sticker is removed. Some early critics are still not sure about the safety of the product. While they say it is definitely an alternative to the pull-out method, it is not effective enough to keep both partners safe from sexually transmitted diseases. A Shot in the Dark A sex game gone wrong has resulted in life changing injuries for one unlucky woman. David Jeffers, 47, fled from a Manchester hotel leaving the woman dy

    You know that feeling you get when you are playing music in your car and your windshield wipers end up being synched to the beat of the music? Imagine that sensation, but drawn out for an hour and fifty-three minutes and you will know what it’s like to experience the joyful exhilaration of Edgar Wright’s newest film Baby Driver.      Baby Driver follows the adventures of a Baby (Ansel Elgort), a young getaway driver who has a penchant for listening to tunes on his iPod while driving. He has tinnitus and it’s the only way he can block out the symptoms–which is a real technique known as “masking”. Baby works for criminal master mind known only as Doc (Kevin Spacey) who utilizes Baby’s extraordinary driving skills to pull off various heists with his rag-tag band of criminals. Unfortunately, people tend to get hurt or even die during these crime sprees, and Baby is looking for a way out of that lifestyle.      While this movie is a heist film in the same vein as The Italian Job

True Crime: New York City  I’ve always been into action games. There’s no better feeling than the rush of adrenaline you get from the sound of the sirens approaching, gun shots being fired in your direction and the screeching of tires as you head into on-coming traffic. Sounds like a hell of a day, but it’s just virtual reality. The best way to describe True Crime: New York City, is to say that True Crime was Grand Theft Auto V before it was even thought of. True Crime New York City made it’s debut in November 2005. The game was released for the Gamecube, Playstation 2, and the Xbox. I was introduced to True Crime NYC by my older sister, who also introduced me to it’s predecessor, True Crime: Streets of LA a year before. Now let’s get to the story. You play the character, Marcus Reed. Marcus is a former gang banger turned cop and the night he gets promoted to Detective in the Organized Crime Unit, he witnesses the murder of his mentor. Your objective is to find the peopl

A creative spin on a classic vibrating egg, the Ribbity Rabbit from SI Novelties is a solid toy for sexual creatures. Packaged well in an easy to read, easy to open clamshell, pop in three AAA batteries and you’re ready to rock! The long rabbit ears are a dream! With 5 settings to choose from with one easy to push, LED illuminated button, you are just a few clicks away from blast off. Designed to really envelop the clit, these ears are something to behold and feel! The egg is similarly shaped to a yoni and insertable if desired. I’m not too keen on the jelly feel silicone but with an excellent water based lubricant, it’s quite lovely. The Ribbity Rabbit from SI Novelties is adorable and affordable! The petite design is ideal for solo play or creative foreplay. Ribbity Rabbit is versatile and can be used for both anal and vaginal stimulation. I also suggest using the rabbit ears for testicle teasing or titillating nipple play. For less than $15 this little wonder should make its w

“Well hello beautiful” I heard a voice say.  As I looked with a childish grin, the voice and the compliment caused me to blush in a way that I had not in such a long time. “Hello, I said with my voice trembling in complete nervousness. “You seem so tensed, the voice said. Loosen up, I won’t bite. I’m just here to teach you a thing or two about yourself that I don’t think you know.” Confused, I looked up and finally locked eyes with the eyes that seemed to be staring into my soul. “How is it that you can teach me anything about myself”? I asked curious, and slightly offended. “With a slight smirk the response was simple. I can show you better than I can tell you”. At that point I felt my right hand gently caress my inner thigh in an upward circular motion, a chill ran up my spine and I felt my nipples harden. I seductively bit down on my bottom lip as a way to silence the moans trying to escape from my mouth, and at that moment I realized I felt sexier than I had ever felt with any

“The Wheelbarrow” To perform the classic Wheelbarrow, the man stands up while the woman is on her hands and knees. The man then lifts her back-half by the ankles, pulling her legs to the side of his body. This position creates really great, deep penetration, and feels wildly animalistic. This position is also one of the more acrobatic ones out there, requiring dexterity and upper body strength. Tip: So you don’t get too tired, lean on your forearms, not just your hands. Lift your head regularly so the blood doesn’t rush too quickly to your head. Now’s not the time to feel faint!

“Apprentice” Side climb to desired height. Position your body perpendicular to the pole by placing top hand above top leg, and bottom hand below bottom leg. Top leg goes in front of the pole and extend. Bottom leg goes behind the pole and flex.

A Wednesday at Angels in Kalamazoo Kalamazoo - Tucked away in a semi-private area surrounded by lush green we found some great eats and treats at Angels Gentleman’s Club of Kalamazoo. We were greeted by Jim, the owner, who spent some quality tutelage time regarding the club industry and how Friction Magazine should approach Michigan. After starting with an ice cold Heineken, we ordered appetizers; Asian pot stickers served with a rich ginger sauce and traditional loaded potato skins. The menu is largely pub grub, with some Italian specialties and some nice chop house steaks. We were there on on a Wednesday, which is when Angel’s has it’s most delicious and frugal seven ounce grilled filet mignon with zip sauce, starch and veggie for only $10. I was expecting a cheap grade of beef, but I was impressed with the tender center cut steak that literally was cut with fork. You could tell the locals appreciate Angels filet special, by observing the rather posh couples that came in to e

Nude Dimensions Series Miguel Migs and his album collection titled Nude Dimensions was an easy pick when selecting this months music to fuck to! It has a very smooth signature deep house and downtempo feel. These tracks have a very soulful beat that you could really bump and grind to. Migs has the ability to combine his influences such as rock, jazz, reggae, soul and more. He creates a deep house rhythm that is completely original. Miguel Migs Migs began his music career at 18 years old, as a lead guitarist and songwriter for a Santa Cruz local band called Zion Sounds. The band split up in the mid-1990s. Zion Sounds unique African and Jamaican style is said to have been a major influence in Migs’ personal career. After the band dissolved, Migs went on to explore electronic music production thus creating his unique and soulful sound. His ability to create a mix of kicked-back grooves and soulful, bittersweet songs put Migs on the map in a big way. Migs finds his inf

     Public sex is a no-no.  However, majority of people have practiced it. Probably you, even. Sex, and most displays of intimate affection, are socially and culturally things we do in private, in the comfort of our own home, away from prying/spying eyes.  Furthermore, it’s illegal. But gosh-darn if we don’t get caught doing the nasty in public on a regular basis.      We get caught fucking, or performing oral, in the strangest of public places. Bathrooms located in bars, clubs or fast food joints.  We’ve been caught in broad daylight on park benches with children forty to fifty yards away, in movie theaters and churches.  We’ve been caught at work and in sports stadiums.  Yes, the thrill of getting caught doing our most favorite of past times causes us to throw caution in the wind. But nothing causes the panties to drop in public quicker than transportation.      The number of people who report copulating in subway cars or buses is rather astounding! But that’s nothing compare
