One of the surviving fragments of Sappho’s poetry refers to a beudos, a rather revealing garment.
Appreciation of short dresses is no new thing.

Seligiline is an antidepressant originally used to treat Parkinson’s disease. It also appears to boost libido and fend off aging. Experiments with the usual mice and rats resulted in a life span increase of over 30% and copulation like there was no tomorrow.
A dose of 5 milligrams taken twice a week would seem to yield few side effects, and anecdotal evidence suggests definite aphrodisiac results. You’ll need a prescription, though, and its association with illicit drug use, particularly odd Ecstasy mixes, makes going outside the system a rather risky bet.
Whereas last week featured one of the best tasting shots ever, this one features one of the worst. Why? It’s not so much to balance things out (I do not believe in a balance between good and bad) but to demonstrate why different drinks come out the way they do.
I’m running behind on an article that took more thought than I had time to give it, so for the moment let me entertain you with some quotes I’ve been collecting, about drink!
Spanish fly doesn’t actually come from a fly. It is made from the cantharides beetle, also called the blister beetle, or Cantharis vesicatoria. The name comes from an intense irritant they generate as a defense mechanism. The beetles are collected, killed, dried and powdered, and the result is called Spanish fly.
Sounds crazy. Tastes amazing. This might be my favorite shot of all time, and only partly because it’s delicious. See, although it’s called “Chocolate Cake,” there is no chocolate flavoring involved! (There’s no cake either, but you probably guessed that.)
As I begin doing book reviews more regularly, the question of categories comes up very quickly. For some things it doesn’t matter. A historical cookbook can be listed in both the culinary and historical categories and no one will complain. To the contrary, it makes it easier to find the thing. But no one expects a division between cookbooks and really, really cookbooks, and even if there was such a thing, it’s unlikely people would get huffy by confusing one for the other and getting something slightly different than they planned.
Erotica has those subdivisions and those problems, and very little terminology to differentiate.
Last week’s quatrains inspired me to find 3 more favorites from my favorite ecstatic poet.
This chemical is a muscle relaxant that depresses the central nervous system, relaxing both stress and inhibition. While those are positive things, romantically, it should be noted that in large amounts alcohol inhibits arousal and obstructs orgasm.
All that you probably knew. But there’s more…
