After that comes the delicacy of vagina lollipops

We are glad to see that needlework keeps on drawing many fans. So do the vintage porn image galleries. Upskirt galleries never fail to please either.

The last three stories in the top ten are everyday pin-ups, a glimpse inside the sex life of elderly couples. And a sex top ten wouldn't be any authority without a little help from Japan. Here's the slideshow of their First Sex Show.

Go back to natural science classes through Spring 2009 at the Museum of Sex in New York. They are throwing an exhibition about The Sex Lives of Animals.

Studies of the natural world have revealed that in the animal kingdom sex is more than reproduction.
Animals too participate in an astonishing array of sexual behaviors, they engage in foreplay behaviors such as kissing, hugging, mutual and self-stimulation, oral sex and every kind of penetrative intercourse imaginable.

Set to debut in this exhibition are life-sized animal sculptures custom-made by Rune Olsen.

The first medi spa in Manhattan wholly dedicated to strengthening and grooming a woman’s genital area. Phit — short for pelvic health integrated techniques — is to open this month on East 58th Street.

Dr. Lauri Romanzi, a gynecologist who performs pelvic reconstruction surgery, said she came up with the idea for the spa one day while walking by an outlet of BriteSmile, the tooth-whitening chain. She liked that the stores cater to people with healthy teeth.

So Dr. Romanzi developed her own concept of “pelvic fitness” for healthy women. She said that Phit will help women get “in shape from the inside out.”

At the spa, the signature treatment will be a $150 gynecological exam — in which a client contracts her pelvic muscles around Dr. Romanzi’s fingers — to determine by feel whether muscle tone is weak, moderate or strong.

Londoners will soon be confronted with images of sex, bondage and passion as part of a series of new art installations on Charing Cross Road.

The artworks will appear in the Window Gallery of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.

Titled The Window Gallery Seduced Show, the exhibition will be viewable from the street 24/7 until January 27 2008. The display will change every Friday evening and feature the work of 19 contemporary artists, and include provocative themes like semi-naked figures bathed in hot wax and modern interpretations of Christ on the cross.

“This is a highly unique and accessible exhibition that will not only grab people’s attention but really make them think about their own and society’s attitudes towards visual representations of sex,” said Curator John O’Hora.

The project is inspired by Barbican Art Gallery’s own exhibition Seduced: Art and Sex from Antiquity to Now, which opens on October 12 2007. Each display has been designed to force viewers to question their attitudes to pornography and sexually unambiguous imagery.
