Although we previously reported that Mandi was NOT retiring from the sex bid-ness… I’m sorry to report that, chyea. She is now. After only a short but memorable five years of getting paid to get naked and get banged in front of a camera, Mandi Michaels tells us “I’ve had enough!”

Scott Morgan, President and CEO of Platinum Media apparently expected the shift and has been trying to make money using Mandi’s experience in sales and marketing for at least a year. Michaels began working with the amateur production company when she turned 18 and appeared in her first Film “18 and Still in School.” But alas, after 4 years and 37 movies later, she was presented with an opportunity to become part owner of the company’s newly formed Distribution Company - Select Distributors.

SO…last week, amidst a slew of sharks (scuse me - Lawyers), the boobalicious 23-year-old Mandi Michaels signed the papers giving her half-interest and full control of the distribution company.

How does one of our favorite quasi-prostitutes feel about going legit? “It make me feel good that I am recognized for what I have between my ears” said the young Executive VP while signing papers, “I think some of my friends only thought it was what I had between my legs that kept me employed.” Whoever thought that was obviously foolish, because its her giant boobs that are the kicker in that package. Although we surely assume her cave of wonders is top 5, when you’re looking for Mani to get naked, you’re looking for her topless before anything else.

It was agreed that although Mandi will not be appearing in any sex scenes produced by the company in the future (awww), she will still appear in some of their promotional scenes and trade shows as needed (yeeay?). Scott Morgan has always supported the move and pushed for this change for the past year. His only comment at Press time was “She earned this and it’s about time she turned in her toys… her damn batteries cost too much.”

Results of this year’s Durex Global Sex Survey have come out and once again the Japanese have come dead last when it comes to sex among over 26,000 people from 26 countries across the world.

When it comes to the number of times people have sex each year, the Greeks, the gods of love, come out first with 164, followed by the Brazilians with 145 and the Poles and Russians tied for third place at 143. The global average was 103 times, but the Japanese notched up only a dismal average of 48. Sure, some may argue that sex is not about quantity but quality and I should be talking about sexual satisfaction.

Well, this survey also asked respondents about how satisfied they were with their sex lives. Nigeria led the way with 67 percent of respondents either mildly satisfied or totally satisfied with their sex, followed by Mexico with 63 percent and India with 61 percent. When it came to lack of satisfaction, Japan was at the bottom with only 15 percent saying they are satisfied, followed by France with 25 percent and Hong Kong at 29 percent. The French have an average of 120 sex sessions a year, so sexual satisfaction doesn’t come simply from frequency. Japan, meanwhile, not only has less sex than anywhere else, the sex that is going on is not satisfying. We really need to think seriously about how to improve the quality of sex in the limited number of times it is taking place.

When asked what was needed to provide sexual satisfaction, the most popular answers among men were:

BOOSTED sexual desire (29 percent);

MORE time spent with a partner (38 percent); and

ADDITIONAL enjoyment (34 percent).

For women, the factors were:

LOVE, gentleness and passion (43 percent);

MORE time spent with a partner (38 percent); and

ADDITIONAL enjoyment (37 percent).

What these figures seem to indicate is that men place emphasis on desire while women tend to seek romance. As sex is a consensual act between two people, each must make an effort to understand what the other needs, talk frankly about their sex and form a relationship built on respect and that will make it easy to improve satisfaction. Satisfying sex needs good communication between partners.

The survey also revealed reasons why sex wasn’t enjoyable and improving on these areas is necessary to bring about satisfying sex. Japanese women disliked sex for the following reasons:

PAINFUL (67 percent);

THREAT of unwanted pregnancies (28 percent); and

VAGINAL dryness (17 percent).

Japanese men, meanwhile, had the following gripes:

INABILITY to maintain erection (32 percent); and

IMPOTENCE (28 percent).

The rate of Japanese experiencing painful intercourse was about double the world average. This can easily be solved by using a lubricant.

This year’s report featured use of the term sexual well-being. Sexual well-being is about having the right balance physically, mentally and in your social environment. Creating a satisfying relationship with a partner will lead to you happiness and comfort. Such a partnership can be an important factor in making sure that you are healthy both mentally and physically.

The C-string is a thong-style underwear that replaces strings with a wire frame. Pop it on your cooch, and it stays naturally (londons Daily Mail says “Think of an unevenly shaped wired headband”). The manufacturers suggest that you wear it with outfits that might show a panty line, or even as swimwear so that you don’t get tan lines across your ass.




Editors Note: In computing, C strings are character sequences stored as one-dimensional character arrays and terminated with a null character (’\0′, called NUL in ASCII). The name refers to the ubiquitous C programming language using this string representation, and is used elsewhere to distinguish this often-used representation from others. This has no connection to this crotch cup that this post is about. Thank you and Goodnight.
