I&#8217;m in an airplane bathroom. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve had sex here then you&#8217;re automatically a member of the Mile High Club. I joined years ago. More than once. Lots of travel and transatlantic flights helped my membership to this club.   </p>
<p>In this photo I&#8217;m backed up against the wall and holding the camera up to the ceiling. I&#8217;m about 5&#8242; 3&#8243; and I can touch the ceiling.</p>
<p>Being in here now, I can&#8217;t imagine how it worked back then.  </p>
<p>Maybe now I&#8217;m just a germaphobe and can&#8217;t imagine sitting my bare ass up on that metal sink.</p>
<p>Or maybe I&#8217;m just too sober.</p>
<p>Or maybe they started making these airplane bathrooms smaller.</p>
<p>Or maybe now I&#8217;m no longer up for crazy fun. </p>
<p>Whatever it is, I plan to conquer this adventure again. First I need to pound several stiff drinks, grab a slim guy, put on a body condom and jump in. </p>
<p>Are you a member of the club?     </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Tuesday,</p>
<p>I have high hopes for you. Monday totally let me down. Then kicked my ass.</p>
<p>Tuesday, I realize that you have a busy work day planned for me. I can handle that. But please don&#8217;t kick my ass like Monday did.</p>
<p>And you also give me hope. Having a 1.5 hour massage scheduled will help you seem less like an ass. And dinner with friends at my house tonight helps even more. And the best part about you Tuesday, my friends are cooking for me. I will do my part. And by my part, I mean open and pour wine. It&#8217;s what I&#8217;m good at. Oh, and eating.</p>
<p>Thanks for being gentle.</p>
<p>Much love,</p>
<p>Susan Mercedes</p>
<p>P.S. Please tell Monday that yesterday was<a href="http://sexandthe405.com/monday-is-global-orgasm-day/"> Global Orgasm Day</a> and I did my part. Sure, it was by myself. But it was epic. Thanks again for being so sweet.</p>
<p>xo</p>

I&#8217;ve got a question for you.
There is something I enjoy doing alone. Really enjoy it. On the flip side, I&#8217;d much rather do this with another person or even several people. It&#8217;s just better that way.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This Wino Wednesday post was inspired by every wine I&#8217;ve ever enjoyed alone.</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got a question for you.</p>
<p>There is something I enjoy doing alone. Really enjoy it. On the flip side, I&#8217;d much rather do this with another person or even several people. It&#8217;s just better that way.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s drinking! I don&#8217;t mean when I&#8217;m on a traveling alone, because I enjoy drinking then. But I&#8217;m usually in a hotel bar chatting it up with others. Which really isn&#8217;t alone. And I don&#8217;t mean when I&#8217;m pouring vodka over my Cheerios in the morning. Wait&#8230;that&#8217;s silly. I don&#8217;t even like Cheerios.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s my question to you&#8230;.</p>
<p>Do you drink alone?</p>
<p>On a normal weeknight, I have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner. Then perhaps I&#8217;ll pour one more after Elle goes to bed.</p>
<p>If I have people over, I have a couple of glasses with dinner. Then an unlimited amount after dinner. Then more after Elle goes to bed.</p>
<p>Why is that?</p>
<p>Do you have a preference? Shall I clarify that I mean preferences when drinking. Because we all know that sex is better when we&#8217;re not alone.</p>

<li>your razor blade is really dull, but his isn&#8217;t.</li>
<li>you want to have passionate loving sex, not alone.</li>
<li>there&#8217;s a thunderstorm in the middle of the night.</li>
<li>you need a hug.</li>
<li>you need a bottle of wine opened after a major arm workout with your trainer.</li>

</ul>
<p>What would you add to the list?</p>
<p><em>I realize that many of these things have nothing to do with having a significant other in your life. Friends can also be in our life to support us. They always seem to make life happen. Without them, we&#8217;d be lost.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article was taken from Playboy by Party Girl: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ncp38r">10 Ways to Have Environmentally Friendly Sex</a></p>
<p><strong><em>I have added my own comment explaining why I can never be an environmentalist. It sucks. But it&#8217;s the truth.</em></strong></p>
<p>Wanna save the earth? Start by taking off your pants. Here are 10 tips on how to save the planet, one orgasm at a time.</p>
<p>10. Wash and re-use the same condom. <strong><em>The fact that they feel like intestines to my fingertips prevent me from doing that. You may ask: How do you know what intestines feel like? Well you know how sausage is put in casing (aka intestine wrap). Yeah, I used to peel that off because I didn&#8217;t know why it was there. Since I&#8217;ve just stopped cooking sausage.</em></strong><br />
 <br />
9. Can&#8217;t find a condom? Re-use a plastic water bottle. <strong><em>Ouch. Although it&#8217;d be ribbed. But ouch. Not an option.</em></strong><br />
 <br />
8. Do it in the back seat of a Prius. <strong><em>Mercedes are really more my style.</em></strong><br />
 <br />
7. Bike or walk to your next booty call. <strong><em>I&#8217;m not really the booty call type. However, that would be awkward if I&#8217;m wearing a sexy little number. I live near some busy streets and it would cause some rumors about my &#8216;job&#8217; choice. Plus this one is ruled out by my lazy ass.</em></strong></p>
<p>6. Instead of picking up a new girl at a party, bang the one you hooked up with last week. It&#8217;s recycling. <strong><em>Obviously, I&#8217;m not recycling women. But men&#8230;sure I&#8217;ve recycled. I often call that a relationship. But whatever.</em></strong><br />
 <br />
5. Don&#8217;t shower until after sex. <strong><em>You can&#8217;t smell anyone or anything when you&#8217;re three sheets to the wind. Plus I can&#8217;t imagine sleeping with someone who would require me to  need a shower. Oh wait, there was that time back in college.</em></strong><br />
 <br />
4. Reduce your carbon emissions by auto-erotic asphyxiation. <strong><em>That shit scares me.</em></strong><br />
 <br />
3. Use a dildo on her instead of a vibrator. <strong><em>Not near as pleasing. Are batteries really THAT bad for the environment?</em></strong><br />
 <br />
2. Turn out the lights when you have sex. It saves electricity and no one will see your third nipple. <strong><em>Don&#8217;t you need lights for the camera propped up on the nightstand?</em></strong><br />
 <br />
1. Don&#8217;t just hug a tree. Fuck one. <strong><em>My yard only has pine trees. I gotta pass on that one.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong></em>So now you all know. I can&#8217;t even save the world by having green sex. Well, I&#8217;ve got to get back to drinking my bottle of water, turn on a few lights in my home and jump in my car and drive to work.<em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This theory was crafted after many glasses of Alice White Chardonnay. It is my house white wine&#8230;.an easy drinking chardonnay from Eastern Australia.</em></p>
<p>I have a huge fear. That fear is running out of something. Specifically wine. Therefore I keep a stash on hand at all times. By stash, I mean 40-50 bottles. This could be because I grew up kinda poor. As an adult, I find that I buy everything in duplicate. But wine&#8230;I buy it by the case. Always. I also don&#8217;t love going to the store. So really I save myself a ton of time by buying in bulk.</p>
<p>Two examples of my wine stash spots (I have several):<br />
<span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: underline;">
<a href='http://www.offthechest.net/2009/05/20/wino-wednesday-stock-up-to-sex-up/photo11-2/' title='photo11'><img width="150" height="112" src="http://www.offthechest.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/photo11-150x112.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="" title="photo11" /></a>
<a href='http://www.offthechest.net/2009/05/20/wino-wednesday-stock-up-to-sex-up/photo10-2/' title='photo10'><img width="150" height="112" src="http://www.offthechest.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/photo10-150x112.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="" title="photo10" /></a>
</p>
<p></span></p>
<p>The opposite of buying in bulk are those people who pick up <strong>a</strong> bottle to go with dinner. I never understood that approach. Those people frighten me. By the way, that was not a typo. I meant to type &#8220;a&#8221; bottle. That shit scares me. What if you finish the bottle and want another glass? You&#8217;re fucked.</p>
<p>Speaking of which&#8230;the more your guests drink, the hotter you look. That&#8217;s a fact. Well not a proven one. However I have heard about people who leave the bar with a hottie and wake up with a dog. Those episodes are ALWAYS a result of drinking too much. Now do you see the logic? Drinking more makes everything look better. If you limit you and your guest(s) to only one bottle you&#8217;re likely to NEVER have sex again.</p>
<p>Buying wine in bulk is directly related to ensuring a full sex life! See, I&#8217;m a genius.</p>
<p>(The purpose of this post was to justify why I buy things in bulk. My bulk wine purchases are now solved. And I&#8217;ve already discovered why I do it with batteries <a href="http://www.offthechest.net/2009/01/17/batteries/">here</a>.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear <a href="http://www.ohmibod.com/">iBod</a>,</p>
<p>I hate you. Well, not really. Privately I love you. Your cute little velvety pink bags of goodness are adorable.  And they hold the cute little sexy pink adult toys.  Again, adorable.</p>
<p>BUT WHEN MY DAUGHTER FINDS THEM IN MY NIGHTSTAND DRAWER AND SAYS, &#8220;What is this mom? It&#8217;s adorable!&#8221; I FEEL LIKE I COULD TO DIE.</p>
<p>Love,</p>
<p>Me</p>
<p>That is what happened this morning.  My calm reply was, &#8220;Honey, those are adult things. They are private and for me. Please get out of my drawer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Seriously, how should one respond to this? I need help. Or a nightstand with drawers that lock.</p>
