A lot of our friends in the lifestyle out there know what big Euchre players Allie and I are. Competitive would be putting it nicely. Cutthroat is more like it. And even though it’s been a while since we’ve played, it’s like riding a bike. You never forget.

Anyway, don’t you think that the poker craze is starting to get a little tired? Besides, haven’t we all been to THAT swinger party or get together when the suggestion was made to play strip poker? (Yawn…boring!)

Well, I think it’s time we all started a Strip Euchre fad! Here are some rules and variations to get everyone started.

“Classic” Strip Euchre (Co-ed)

There are two teams of 1 guy and 1 girl and the losing team of each hand must EACH strip off an article of clothing. Once a team is naked, they must play naked until the 10 pts to win the game are finished. Then the losing team, must perform one sex act or “pay up” on the winning team, until the winning team is satisfied that the “pay up” is completed.

The losers must “pay up” until one of two things happen:

• Either the winners ask them to stop, because they are too horny and want to have sex with the losers, or
• The losers continue “paying up” until the winners orgasm.

Once either of these two things happen, the “pay up” is over and you can either play another game of Euchre together, find someone else to play cards with, or forget about cards and continue your activities elsewhere.

Two-handed Co-ed strip Euchre

Players: One female and one male, though two women might be fun also.

You deal out 4 hands just like regular Euchre, and turn up trump, but you only use the two hands in the players hands and you show your cards. The person who has the most trump cards in their hand wins that hand and the loser must strip off an article of clothing. This continues until your are both totally naked and then you deal the last hand. The person with the most trump in their hand for this last round wins and the loser has to be their sex slave and has to “pay up.” The winner gets to make 1 sexual request of the loser. See “pay up” guidelines above.

Swinger Bid Euchre (Co-ed)

This will require at least 2 tables and up to 4, with hopefully an equal mix of male to female players. There will be no removing of clothing during the game, but score will be kept and once all the rounds have been completed, the winner gets to pick who they will have some intimate time with. Then the selection process will continue with the 2nd place finisher, then 3rd and so on, until all players are paired up. No one is allowed to choose their spouse, date or significant other. That’s why there’s an equal number of girls to guys. Of course, there are bi women (men too) out there, but for the sake of the game, winners should choose a member of the opposite sex to start.

Recommended variations

• Come up with special rewards for players that “go alone” and take all five tricks in a hand. Maybe they get to make a special request of a teammate or opponent.
• Another reward could be added to teams that Euchre their opponents–maybe even with a special dare to the team on the losing-end of a Euchre.

Very soon however, 2257 will get much more complicated. Our Republican-controlled Justice Department has released a new set of record-keeping guidelines that go into effect on June 23, 2005. Plus, enforcement of 2257 is expected to ramp-up, especially since our newly-appointed Attorney General recently announced the formation of an “Obscenity Prosecution Task Force.”

Due to these new guidelines, you can expect many of your favorite adult sites to trim back many of their photo and video offerings or shut down all together, since the new 2257 record-keeping laws are so stringent that it will be nearly impossible for everyone to comply with.

What does this mean for our Hotwife Allie Web site? Well for starters, on June 23rd, Allie and I will delete many of the photo galleries and blog posts featuring photos currently on the site. Since we’re not really “porn producers,” and we’re only doing this mainly for fun, we’re not going to ask people that we play with to sign model releases and jump through all the hoops the law will require. So, we’ll likely not be posting any new photos that feature any sexual activity beyond just simple nudity.

You can expect us to be a great source of stories, info and insight into this hotwife lifestyle, as well as the world of swinging, and other fetishes that tickle our fancy.

We are very curious how some of our favorite Web sites like Redclouds and Swappernet will be able to maintain their member-submitted photo galleries, since they’re not collecting the information and maintaining the records that 2257 requires.

Don’t like 2257? Well, the best I can tell you is that we elected the lawmakers that have put it into place. It’s a hard law to repeal through the legislature, because that would me citizens would have to tell their senators and congressmen that we enjoy looking at adult content. And that’s never going to happen, right? We brought this on ourselves when we cast our votes. Votes are the only thing that will bring it down. Remember that in 2008, fellow patriots.

What are your thoughts and opinions on 2257? Post them in the comments. I’m interested in hearing what you have to say.

Wisteria Lane will never look the same to me again.

“There’s a lot of porn out there. But nobody’s calling it art. Or even, technically, film. (The industry has been virtually all-video for a couple of decades.) Porn is a commodity, with no more pretension to art than the most mindless kiddie show. For the weary businessman it’s just a combination Viagra and Ambien.

How drab this seems compared to the heady days of the early 70s, when ‘There was something exciting about pornography,’ as Norman Mailer says in the new documentary Inside Deep Throat. ‘It lived in some mid-world between crime and art. And it was adventurous.’ Porn films preoccupied critics, cops and the courts. Often financed by Mafia families, they attracted the crusading instincts of local, state and federal prosecutors, who shut down the films and secured the conviction of one actor. They were directed by men who could fancy themselves as artists, and starred off-Broadway actors as well as the occasional gifted ingenue —like Linda Lovelace, star of the movie that created the craze (and the phrase) ‘porno chic,’ Deep Throat.”

Couples from all over the country will be able to try-out for their chance to make it into the semi-finals by submitting amateur videos. “We receive so many queries, so many tapes in the mail,” Bob Christian, vice president of Adam & Eve, said. “Now, we can truly give all of these people a chance to become a star.”

It’s a particularly favorite fantasy of mine. Here’s a snip:

Once inside the room, the two of them embraced again and they seemed to be trying to swallow each other’s tongue. Mike had my wife’s skirt up around her waist and had one hand on her ass and the other on her pussy with a couple of fingers up her cunt! He was finger fucking her so hard that she was up on her tippy-toes as he drove his fingers up into her! They were kissing and she was moaning and he quickly brought my wife to an orgasm! She broke off the kiss, hung on tight to his neck, stood on her toes and shuddered and moaned as she went through her orgasm. It was a beautiful sight to behold! I don’t think there’s any more beautiful sight in the world than to see my wife having an orgasm!!! This is one of the most THRILLING parts about “sharing” my wife with other men for sex! I get to “watch her” and “SEE her” from a vantage point that I can’t do when it is her and I making love! The whole time this scene was unfolding in front of me, I was standing off to the side of the room just watching. As my wife “came down off the high of her orgasm”, she slid down Mike’s body till she was on her knees in front of him. She opened his zipper and his hard cock sprang out of his pants. I’m not a cock connoisseur, but he had what I would call a “nice cock”. It was maybe 7” long and fat enough that my wife could barely get her hand around it. It was a bit larger than mine is, but I’m not bothered by that. My wife stroked it with her hands and then she leaned forward and took the head of his cock into her mouth. Mike put his hands on the back of my wife’s head and obviously enjoyed the feelings her mouth was bringing to his cock! My wife is an EXPERT cock sucker and I KNOW how that was feeling!

Technosexuals — – the freakish gadget dandies who like their technology as sexy as they are — were in virtual heaven over the weekend in Las Vegas as the annual Consumer Electronics Show coincided with the porn industry’s annual awards bash.

The term technosexuals was invented last year as a backlash to the conventional image of technology geeks as unwashed, uncool men with pizza crumbs stuck in their beards. But it also connotes the growing focus in the technology industry on making products for fashionable lifestyles — from tiny pink cellphones equipped with MP3 players and digital cameras, to sleek red laptops designed to complement the little red Ferrari in the driveway.

Paradoxically, as the staid stable of tech companies were trying to get sexy, the sexy world of the Adult Entertainment Expo was going more mainstream. Respectable Columbia House, which dominates the book, music and DVD subscription clubs, was at the steamy expo preparing to launch a similar club for connoisseurs of porn.

The porn stars were out on the town more than they were at the packed convention center, mingling in surreal fashion with tech industry insiders.

There was hardly a bar in Vegas that did not feature provocative women with large silicon implants wearing skimpy clothes that seem to be shrinking even faster than the world’s average gadget size.

One of the stars of new TV series Desperate Housewives is no stranger to stripping for the cameras — as this snap shows.

Marcia Cross, 44, is seen baring her boobs in a raunchy 1996 movie called Female Perversions.

The exposure clearly helped her telly role in a show dubbed the naughtiest to come out of the U.S. since Sex And The City.
