Pacific leatherback sea turtles need your help right now.
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the government agency responsible for fisheries management, is considering allowing hundreds of miles of fishing lines and baited hooks to be set inside the Pacific Leatherback Conservation Area off California and Oregon under what is known as an "Exempted Fishing Permit." The permit would be for the catch of swordfish, but would also allow for the catch of up to five endangered leatherback sea turtles, a short-finned pilot whale and other marine life as well.

Feel free to ask me anything. I always change the names, so no need to be shy..
Q. I have met lots of guys who don't care what the woman wants but I've met a couple who ask me what I want does this mean the feelings run deeper or they are still after that one thing? I've also have heard that if a guy helps you out with your bra and clothes he loves you. Is this true or does this just show that he is a master player? Young and curious A. Unless the man is flaming gay, he will want pussy. We are put on this earth to breed, so naturally, they are after that "one thing". Their behavior is the important thing. If they make you laugh, treat you well and you can feel that they love you, then they do. Ignore the words; they can blind your judgment. You can't evaluate a man's love by things like removing your knickers or asking how you like your oral, that's too general. Good men and players alike will do such things. A man can say "I love you" a million times, but if he is treating you like shit, what good are the mandatory verbal treats? It's his actions, not his words that tell the truth.
Q. My ex will NOT stop stalking me. He creates different email addresses and myspace accounts just to torment and threaten me. All I did wrong was NOT want him anymore. It seems I have to pay for that "mistake" the rest of my life. What is the best way to stop such a prick in his tracks? Petrified Patty A. Print out all of his nasty messages; photocopy them several times, along with a picture of his face attached to the stack of papers and bring them to his work/office/parents (whoever means the most to him). Do the same with the emails, copy and paste them all into one long message and send it to everyone you both know and in the subject line write "Isn't he a sweet heart?". If he keeps bothering you, bring one of the "booklets" to the local police so they can keep it on file. Asking a 6 foot tall male friend to visit him can't hurt either. Hammer time.
Q. My husband and I have broken up a few times due to his inability to remain physically true. We are both Italian, so cheating usually isn't grounds for divorce (bad attitude is). After a 6 month break, we finally moved back in together and all is well except he won't make love to me. Recently we were driving in my car, phone rang and it was a woman who said she has been seeing my husband for the last 20 years and that he married me secretly so she wouldn't find out and that he was two timing me. I knew about this skank already and he promised me he would delete her number. I forced him to show me his cell phone. Her fucking number was still in there. I made him delete it right in front of me. I was calm, but cold to her on the phone and then ripped his face off verbally. He is seeing a therapist about his infidelity but I am wondering if you think a man like that can ever really change. He claims he wants to have a baby this year. I am lost. Just a Woman in love A. Next time she calls, tell her "Two timing? Oh honey, you got that all wrong. He is 4 timing and you are just one of the holes he calls when he gets bored. Our relationship is an open one, so just take a fucking number." Your apathetic attitude is your best weapon against her. Not sure he is worth all the effort though. He seems to have a problem with integrity in general; not a good trait. Make a time limit in your mind and if hasn't straightened up by then, you should cut your loses and move on. European or not, bullshit is an international turn off.
Q. I have a bit of a problem. My clitoris is very tiny, I mean REALLY tiny. Even when I'm aroused it's still really small. This makes it pretty much impossible for me to orgasm because my clit is so sensitive. In fact, the only way I can orgasm is by masturbating. I do it by laying on my stomach with my hands flat under my abdomen and grinding my clit up against my hands. I have to have clothes on too, because it's too sensitive without it. This is very frustrating for me and my husband because he doesn't know how to stimulate me because every time he tries I have to make him stop,
So I was wondering, is there a way to make my clit bigger? I think this would help me alot because the nerve endings in my clitoris wouldn't be all in one itty bitty space, thus making it insensitive.
If there isn't a way, then what would you suggest I do? I've told him what I like but he still can't do it, and orgasm by masturbation isn't so great anyway because I feel like I'm not actually getting a good orgasm… they only last about 5 seconds, if even. Clitty Cat
A. They have pumps out there you can buy, just like the penis enlargement pumps. I think it's a bunch of bullshit, these tools may feel good and increase ones confidence buy tricking people into thinking "My clit/cock is swollen, so it must be bigger" but they don't work. Try using your husband instead of your hand. Do exactly the same thing you do alone, but do it on top of him with lots of lube. If that doesn't work, have him lick you, there is nothing softer than a tongue for those sensitive spots.
Q.
I have a Fart question. I know you have written about how to avoid farting in front of your lover, but these one cheek sneaks can't go on forever, can they? I live with my boyfriend now and he farts around me, so when can I start farting around him? This is the first time I have lived with a guy and my first long term relationship. I don't want to let it all hang out and loose him, yet I hate running to the bathroom every time my ass is acting up. When can we fart without shame?
Farting Frauline
A.
The Fart Threshold; an unavoidable topic when living together. If he is already telling you he loves you, then it's ok to let one rip in front of him occasionally. You simply have to know if his love is real or not. Who wants conditional love? ("If you fart, I won't love you anymore"). Make it fun by blaming it on him . Men fart all the time, their dogs fart all the time, so they will only be shocked the first time they hear you cut one. When it does, giggle and change the subject; act like it never happened.
Q. I am the Husband of Tainted Tammy that has been writing you, you know "THE BITCH" that gets it 5 times a week, for which I am extremely thankful for. My side of it is that when we 1st met I let all my skeletons out of the closet which weren’t a lot but I was a recreational intravenous drug user, (did it about 10 times my whole life) I got involved with a bad bunch of people and I was the ride for the most part and didn’t have much of a sex life due to an abusive up bringing at the hands of my father both physically & mentally since I was a wee boy. When it was her turn she told me she lost her virginity @ 17 to a guy that was 21 & he raped her, so I said to myself @ that time "no big deal she had sex with this guy 1 time it wasn’t her fault and that was the end of it" now 18 years later she is telling me it was an ongoing sexual relationship and each time I bring it up the story changes, I was so angry at this guy that I was going to inflict physical damage to him and get even as he took my wife’s purity from me but now that the truth has come out I feel I can’t hurt this guy because now I see it was consensual on both parties. This all could’ve been avoided if she was just up front from the beginning; I would have married her anyway but I almost feel like she got me on false pretences, I love her with all my heart but the deceit really hurts after all these years, thanks, Mr. Bitch A. That part was left out in her email to me; I didn't know she was lying about her past. But the past is the past and I totally frown upon the idea of digging up one's “skeletons”, unless there’s children involved. Since you were abused in the past, honest and purity must be extra important to you; hence her blurry past is eating you alive. Take her for a walk and have her tell you the whole freakin’ story once and for all. Say "tell me the truth and I shall drop it forever!". Let her vent and keep your word, just let it slide, otherwise it will just be a constant annoyance and it will drive you both apart. If you love each other and want to stay together, you need to clear this shit up. She said you were “depressed and not the same anymore.” Why not tell her why? You have to communicate or it won't work. Just because you weren't the first guy IN your woman, doesn't mean she isn't pure. She has been with you for years, and she has sex with you very often, that shows that her love for you is pure. You can't beat that. Let the past die, it's over, done with and know that we all make mistakes. (*note: the wife has since written and they’ve cleared everything up and are happy as clams in water)
Q. I’m pregnant and very horny most of the time. My husband seems to be into it. We got married recently and he wanted kids right away, so here I am, pregnant and jealous. My first husband cheated and I’m paranoid again. I try to keep telling myself men cheat. I don’t ever want to be divorced again. I know if he did cheat I would have to cheat just to build up my ego also. I already have a child and realize how hard it is on a marriage. I’d like to feel like I shouldn't have to worry. I’m a pretty sexual person and love my husband and would like to feel like he only wants to be with me. He tells me he’s waited his whole life for me and wanted to be married and have a baby. He is 37 and I’m hoping he is really ready for all of this. He has been doing whatever he wants for so long. Are all men going to cheat no matter what? Nervous & Knocked-up
pregnancy can be super sexy ^
A. Some men cheat; so do some women, but there are those that are satisfied with what they have. The way you described your husband made it sound like he initiated the marriage and pregnancy, so you really don't have to worry. Had you trapped him in a marriage due to an "accidental" pregnancy, well, then it would be a whole different situation. Your sex drive and confidence will keep everyone happy. Worrying while pregnant isn't good for the baby at all and it's pointless to stress about something that hasn't happened, so just breath deep and enjoy your bun in the oven and the hot baker who helped make it.
No, I am not a Foreigner in NYC, I mean the Rock Group FOREIGNER played in NYC last night at Gotham Hall..well, it wasn't open to the public, it was a private show and luckily for me the band invited me and my girlfriend Brooke to come and watch. The night BEFORE was also AMAZING. I don't even know where to start anymore, I have so much to write I am feeling rather swamped. I still haven't even finished my France, Rome and Florence blog yet! YIKES!!!!!! Freaking out here!!
Let me jump back to this past December to my first Foreigner blog (click HERE to read it) so you can get a feel of how much this band has been growing on me. Some of my friends wind me up telling me "enough with the FOREIGNER already!!!". ha ha. But I surely don't have to remind anyone that good old fashioned rock and roll bands are far and few in between and this band is not only amazing in concert, they are also fun as FUCK to hang out with; even the managers and crew are a blast to be around. Sigh. I have had NO sleep at all since Monday; since Foreigner rolled into town. Ha ha.
My pal Tom Gimbel , rythm guitarist, sax player and backing vocals had some free time, as did the drummer, Brian Tichy and their tour manager assistant Eric so we all went to Arlene's Groceries for some LIVE karaoke. It was so surreal, I am still smirking about it right now as I type. I signed up to sing Back in Black and Brian stepped in and took to the drums (you see, this is live karaoke, as in you don't sing to a tiny TV, you actually sing lead vocals with a KICK ASS band. They have this every Monday night at Arlene's ).
The guitarist ^ of the karaoke band is out of this world good. He's from Northern Ireland and has a very charming accent by the way (not that it matters, I'm just sayin')
I was kinda nervous about having a stand in drummer, I mean, did he even KNOW Back in Black? There were no rehearsals or anything but what the hell, he seemed overly confident, so we went for it. HOLY FUCKING SHIT can this guy play drums. Sigh. It sounded like we had all jammed together for years. He beats the shit out of the drums and the MC even said "that is the loudest fucking drummer I have ever heard in my life" heh heh. It was PERFECT.
Then Tom came on stage, took the mic (audience was now aware of the fact the Foreigner was in the HOUSE) and Tom sang "Hot Blooded" with Brian on drums again. The crowd was creaming their jeans. It was fantastic. I have videos of all this, and will post them ASAP. Again, I am swamped as FUCK. The house drummer was "not amused" at Brian playing two songs, but things got even worse after Brian chugged a few drinks and got antsy, like musicians do (the want to be on stage playing, NOT watching) so Brian went on stage again (without an invite ha ha) with some Mexican dude he made friends with and the dude sang "living on a prayer" by Bon Jovi and Brian, once again, tore it UP! He was PERFECT. I was swooning over his ability to just jump in on any song and NAIL IT. Improv at it's BEST!
Tour manager/assistant Eric acts as baby sitter/buddy while out with the band ^
;
Tom and Brooke ^
The band were all impressed that Brooke is an Opera singer. She is also a karaoke DJ on the side. When she sings rock and roll, it's like butter. The girl has amazing PIPES! (her "lungs" are pretty impressive too 😉
Mick ^ founder of the band, is really polite, friendly, calm…great guy!
Tom told us we had to dress REALLY nice as it was a Black Tie affair. He saw us and said "oh Lord! Lay low until the band starts and the lights are low, so all the wives (not wives of the band, wives of the rich business men there) don't freak out. Most of them were wearing what appeared to be prom dresses. ugh.
Jeff the Bass player is SUPER cool and is usually the one needing massage the most.
He was a member of popular 1980sheavy metal bands Dokken and Dio. He currently has his own progressive metal group called War and Peace, which was formed in 1993, releasing two albums: 1993's War and Peace and 2004's The Walls Have Eyes. He also works with his ex-Dokken bandmate, guitarist George Lynch in a two-member group called Lynch/Pilson.
He also played in the band Wild Horses (not to be confused with the British band of the same name).
Although he is a renowned primarily for his work as a bass guitarist, Pilson also plays guitar and keyboards.
He played a member of the band Steel Dragon in the 2001 film Rock Star as well as playing on the film's soundtrack.
Pilson is currently the bass player for seventies rock band Foreigner.
Tom in action ^
As I said, Tom told us that since it was a DELL computer private corporate show, for 400 people tops, we should lay low and let the ol' corporate, rich wives shine. We did….for MOST of the night. During "I want to know what love is" we couldn't take it anymore and slinked onto the dance floor, slowly moving towards the stage. There was A LOT of lighting in the place and it was a small hall, so the band could see EVERYONE on the dance floor. Brooke and I slow danced, DIRECTLY in front of the stage, grinding into eachother, squeezing each others buttocks but never cracking a smile. We gazed into each others eyes and ignored the whole room on purpose just to wind the band up. It was so fucking funny distracting the band with our loving slow dance (have you seen the film The Wedding singer? When Drew Barrymore slow dances with the young boy who grabs her butt the whole time?) – well that's what we were doing. It was hysterical. The band naturally told us ALL about it after, saying how hard it was to concentrate lol. I thought they would be mad at us, but we were tired of behaving for so long. heh heh.
Kelly ^ has a slight resemblance to Steven Tyler but I have never told him so. Rock stars hate being compared to other artist.
Don't know why Brian has that look on his face. He must be tired from the night before- too much karaoke!
Ahhhhhh, lovin' life
Isn't Brooke cute?
Uh, never seen a white bike like that before. Had to mount it.
After the show we all went to an Irish pub near their hotel as the Hotel Bar was lame as fuck and closed early. It's NYC, the place that "never sleeps"? I don't think so. Berlin never sleeps. NYC naps.
Apparently Brooke makes me sweat ^
Eric got the karaoke bug too and sang some Chris Isaak for us.
Brooke and Mike Bluestein Foreigner keyboardist ^ has a hell of a resume'
—————————————————————————————
May 17th, 2008 (look how long it takes me to blog now a days)
Over the two days we hung with the band, they grew to LOVE my driving (and my JBL speakers/sound system) in my car. Some of them preferred to have me drive them to and from rather than hired vans. HEH! My stereo by the way, was louder than the gig. The band was tight as FUCK but the acoustics in that hall are crap. Lots of echo…so the band had to keep it down a bit. But I doubt they cared, corporate gigs (DELL) always pay well 😉
If the band is heading your way, you should try to catch their show. I have seen over 3,000 shows and they are one of the tightest bands live, ever.

We've said for a long time that Japan's so-called research program is actually commercial whaling in a flimsy disguise. But today, we have the evidence in our hands.
After a four-month long undercover investigation, Greenpeace exposed evidence of widespread embezzlement of whale meat occurring right under the noses of the public officials who run the whaling program.
The best cuts of whale meat, used to make whale bacon, are smuggled into crew cabins, preserved in salt, and then shipped home in boxes marked "cardboard" or "salted stuff" to be sold on the black market. Greenpeace intercepted one such box — worth up to $3,000.
Greenpeace has evidence that more than a ton of whale meat was snuck from the whaling ship this year alone. One of our sources claims to have heard a crew member boast of building a house on the proceeds from his illegal take.
And, after all of this, we're still supposed to believe that the hunt is all in the name of scientific research to help the whales? Come on! Nobody is buying that line anymore.
Now is the time to rock the boat in Japan. The whaling program has been an embarrassment to Japan's Foreign Affairs department all year. Your letters helped cancel the humpback hunt – and now in the spotlight of this scandal, it's time to cancel the rest.
Take action and send a message to the Prime Minister asking him to end whaling for good! We need your help to put an end to "research" whaling once and for all.
Having fun in NYC, but by that I mean, having fun working. I am so swamped I feel I will never get around to doing my France and Italy blog and now I have another Foreigner (the rock group) blog to do. LOTS going on. Penthouse Forum are so on the ball compared to the last news paper I wrote for here in NYC. They pay promptly, answer my emails promptly (and politely) and even sent me a dozen copies of the May 2008 issue that I am on the cover of. I opened it and found the BEST intro ever. My column feels at home. Love it! I scanned it in:
I massaged Kim Raver ( of the shows "24" and "Lipstick Jungle") again tonight- non stop massage for three hours. Wonderful lady. She can take as much pain as I can during a massage. Extreme deep tissue the whole time. Tough woman I tell ya. Funny how the women seem to be able to take more pain/pressure during the massage than men (apart from Harry Connick Junior who seems to be made of steel). My fingers are actually aching as I type this, THAT'S how strong the pressure was. Going to sleep it off
I am so mad busy, I have to build this massive Italy blogs bit by bit. The videos take the most time, so here is the Florence video.. will upload pics and text later. I fly to NYC in a couple days, so the mad rush has begun. I will be back in Berlin, however, early June, for KISS!! They are so fun and I LOVE Gene's "family jewels" show which I get from iTunes. Sounds odd, but I behave a lot like Gene and share a lot of the same views he has. Work-o-holic who frowns upon the idea of Marriage. Go Gene! Anyhow, here's the vid..
The owner of the La Residenza del Proconsolo hotel asked to pose with me. He is as sweet as his hotel. AMAZING service and gorgeous rooms.
America’s bears are facing a poaching plague. Increasing demand for traditional medicines using bear parts like gallbladders is fueling a lucrative black market — and poachers are targeting bears in the U.S.
Representatives Raul Grijalva (AZ) and John Campbell (CA) have introduced legislation that will help bears by banning the trade in gallbladders at the federal level. The Bear Protection Act will end a patchwork of state laws that create an enforcement nightmare and allows the illegal killing of bears to continue.
Tell your Representative to become a cosponsor of the Bear Protection Act today:
