Today! GetLusty FlashDance Mob @ SlutWalk Chicago

Do you want to have an awesome time for a good cause? GetLusty is featuring our very first event along side SlutWalk Chicago! PS: RSVP to our Facebook event!

Haven't heard of SlutWalk? SlutWalk aims to combat the myth of "the slut" and the culture of victim blaming that prevails the world over. Their mission is to enforce the truth that those who experience sexual assault are never at fault, ever.

Why?

SlutWalk seeks to create a consent culture (versus rape culture), and we're totally behind that. We think consensual sex is wonderful sex. SlutWalk is all about marching, walking, parading, rocking, and rolling in demand of a revised cultural attitude toward sexual assault and rape.

Again--at GetLusty, we are all about healthy, amazing, consensual sex. We also want to take the shame away from sex and create an environment focused on sex positivity.

Attire

Your sluttiest!

When? 

Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 11AM. We'll gather alongside SlutWalk Chicago.

Tutorial will be at 11.15AM.

The dance starts promptly at 11.30-11.35AM.

The SlutWalk officially starts walking at 12PM, so we'll be here early and having a ball with other SlutWalkers.

What are we dancing to? 

Yes, we're planning on flash mobbing the electric slide! To what song? The one and only, Salt N Peppa's, "Let's Talk About Sex."

The best part of the event? Feel free to strip into your skivvies! Underwear, shorts, tank tops, anything sexy or whatever you feel comfortable in. We will be handing out GetLusty stickers, posters, and other brand material to show off. If you're not comfortable dancing, feel free to still join in the fun by holding banners, jumping around, and just having fun!

Where? 

James R. Thompson Center, 100 West Randolph Street (see map here or below).


11:30AM Sharp, ladies & gents! The song will only last 5 minutes, so be prompt!

Questions or comments? Leave them below or e-mail our event co-ordinator annelise@getlusty.com.

Don't know how to do the electric slide? Check out these detailed video instructions below. Skip to 25 seconds for the dance tutorial portion.

G Boutique: a Chicago Sex Boutique Fav

G Boutique is one of Chicago's few wonderful adult stores. It's located in the Bucktown area of Chicago at 2131 N. Damen Avenue. Not sure how to use Google Maps? We even located it on a map for you at the bottom of this article. Aren't we nice?

They sell everything from lingerie, to toys, to porn, to lusty accessories, oh my! In business since 2002, their goal is to provide women and men alike a fun, safe, relaxed environment to do their personal sexy shopping. They do cater especially to ladies, yay!

Why? The owners of G Boutique are two ladies! Cheryl and Kari. Two friends brought together by mutual family friends who originally wanted to write erotica.

Instead, they got the idea that it would fabulous for Chicago to have a store run by women for women. And who doesn't love a good feminist sex toy store? They wanted to make women feel like they were coming into a store run by their girlfriends.

G Boutique professionals are knowledgeable and open to answering any questions you have about sex, sex toys, and all other things lusty.

Shoppers are 18+ and range in interests, occupations, orientation and sex. Haven't been to early to G Boutique yet? Stop by and we are sure you won't be disappointed.

They brought in some theatre friends to help design the space and before you knew it something sexy was born. As you can see in the picture below, the store design looks inviting and gorgeous. For more information, visit the G Boutique website! Haven't been to G Boutique yet?


Plan your first trip and some support them as GetLusty ramps up as a media sponsor and partner on upcoming events! Good things are coming in the near future, lovely readers!

Can you find G Boutique on the map below? Check it out!

Press Release: GetLusty for Couples to Organize Flashmob Dance to End Boring Sex, Support Consensual Sex

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Erica Grigg
Founder, GetLusty for Couples
(773) 413-8403
Erica@GetLusty.com
www.GetLusty.com

Chicago, IL, 9/26/12 – Seven years ago, the Founder of GetLusty for Couples was raped near her university, DePaul University Chicago. Six weeks ago, she founded GetLusty for Couples to promote amazing, consensual sex between loving couples to end the shame and stigma of sex.

Love and relationship media resource GetLusty for Couples will work alongside SlutWalk Chicago to execute a flashmob dance with the mission of ending boring sex for couples. For 5 minutes, we'll do the electric slide in support of SlutWalk Chicago. An electric slide tutorial starts at 11:15AM and the dance itself starting promptly at 11:30AM on September 29, 2012 at the James R. Thompson Center (100 West Randolph Street, Chicago). Participation is open to the general public.

SlutWalk Chicago is an international annual event that aims to combat the myth of "the slut" and the culture of victim-blaming in sexual assault. “In the last year, this fight has spread to over 200 cities around the world, where independent organizers have organized locally-driven SlutWalk-inspired events. SlutWalk started, and is still going, because we and so many others around the world have had enough,” said SlutWalk Toronto originators Sonya Barnett and Heather Jarvis.

GetLusty For Couples, like SlutWalk, aims to promote consensual, amazing sex. We're completely behind the SlutWalk movement and we think you should be, too!

GetLusty aims to help SlutWalk Chicago in eliminating shame and embarrassment surrounding sexuality. The attendees will perform the Electric Slide dance in their undergarments (if they so choose) to Salt-N-Pepa's, "Let's Talk About Sex" and "Push It" to promote this discussion of sexuality in a public forum. After the conclusion of the dance, SlutWalk Chicago will proceed with their event from 12:00PM until 1:00PM.

Have You Visited The Pleasure Chest Lately?


The Pleasure Chest is anything but your ordinary sex toyshop; it’s a business on a mission. Now in its 40th year, the store featured on both Sex and the City and Entourage (easily two of the most important shows in advocating sex) aims to both educate and enhance our sexual lives.

Their interest? Offering every customer a specialized experience in a judgment-free environment, as well as huge variety of toys. Another added benefit: they put on a regular series of free workshops to promote healthy, pleasurable and fulfilling sex for everyone.

You want it? They have it. Everything from vibrators to strap-ons to anal beads, The Pleasure Chest caters to both the fellas and the gals. They don’t stop with the sexual accessories to assist in mind-blowing orgasms. The Pleasure Chest is about forging a “sex positive culture.”

Grab any number of their sexual health videos and literature. In case you’re the last person on earth without a copy, you’ll be happy to know that “50 Shades of Grey” is now in stock!

Located right off the Paulina Brown Line in the booming Lakeview area, the Pleasure Chest is both easily accessible and equipped with free parking.


Last minute itch for that special toy to keep your partner screaming with pleasure? Grabbing for that bottle of lube only to find it empty? The hours accommodate the sexual night owls of Chicago, closing at 11pm Mon-Wed and 12am Thurs-Sat.

Visit The Pleasure Chest. They’re guaranteed to have what you want, and probably things you didn’t even know you wanted. With stores in other major markets like NY and LA, this innovative shop will no doubt continue their bi-costal mission in providing sexually satisfying lives.

Thanks to Zimibio.com for their picture of a couple inside a Pleasure Chest store.

This is a guest post by Greg Dorn. Greg is a self-employed day trader who loves writing. He aims to think about sex whenever possible, including a variety of ways to enhance his own love life.

The class experience includes: Circle Ceremony, Mirrored Asana, Partner Yoga Flow, Assisted Inversions, Partner Acrobatics, Flying Sequences and Thai Massage.

Ice and cold are not new. Technology and chemistry have given us some amazing advances in this realm. Ken Melvoin-Berg, our resident science geek and sexpert, will be teaching this edge play seminar.

We will help you identify and treat these issues before they become a problem. This event is at The Studio in Chicago, IL. All our events are clean and sober, the age limit is for people 18 and up. Please have IDs available at the door.

Twisted Spoke: Smut and Eggs
It all begins at midnight on Saturdays and runs until 2:30 am. Upon the witching hour, the bartenders will loudly announce that it's time for smut and the kitchen will serve whatever you want from the brunch menu while you take in a porn flick.

3 Loving Date Ideas for this Weekend!


So you want better sex? Well, starting off with dating is a great idea with your lover. Why? If you're constantly bickering and can't find a spare moment to be loving with each other, you likely won't feel sexy. Not surprisingly.

Relationships take work. That's why we put together several date ideas. Enjoy the end of summer. End boring sex. Do them both! And have a ball while you're doing it. Our Lora Swarts reports.

* * *

1. Go on a picnic

Pack up a picnic basket with your favorite snacks and a bottle of wine and head out to a local park! Picnics are not only inexpensive but they are relaxing and romantic as well.

Picnics give you that one on one time without the distractions of a busy restaurant or bar. If it's too cold to have a picnic outdoors then bring the fun inside! Lay a quilt on your living room floor and light tons of candles. But first, make sure that you clean your home and turn off all electronics. You want as little distractions as possible so you can get cozy and stay connected!


2. Get active

Miniature golf is the perfect date idea for couple's to reconnect. It's slightly competitive (which is sexy) and you are able to have a conversation while playing!

If golf is not your thing then try going on a hike, riding bikes, playing darts, or simply enjoy a leisurely walk together. If you are prone to being competitive though, just remember to support your partner in any activity you do. It's not about winning, it's about the connection you are making.

3. Explore

Whether you live in a big city like Chicago or a smaller town, be a tourist! Go to a museum, head to the beach, or explore a neighborhood that is new to you!

Being a tourist in your hometown is both fun and interactive. Bring your camera and capture photos of each other as though you really are on vacation.

Then, scrapbook those pictures later over a bottle of wine! Hey, there's another inexpensive date night idea!
