Redhead, Ginger, Carrot-top, Copperhead, Big Red, Brass, Cherry, Coppertop, Fire-ball, Fire-crotch, foxy, Raggedy Anne, freckle-face, Rusty, Wendy, and the list goes on and on! There are tons of names for redheads; some mild, some wild! But what has given redhead women this surrounding of fame? All from a hair color that all TRUE redheads are born with, of course! There are key moments in history that redheads have made a profound mark, and people have interpreted this. Making today’s redheads are either walking targets for jokes or much cruel tactics, or semi-formal celebrities in a crowd.

This story is believed to be true within the setting, yet very controversial still. This particular redhead woman was Adam’s first wife. Yes, like Adam from the Bible. See, controversy already! The story goes that Lilith and Adam were both created at the same time, that they were equal (unlike Eve, she was created from Adam). Then one day, I guess Adam started getting too bossy and demanding about her fetching some water, and she declared that she was an equal and would not serve Adam in any way. She then flew off into the stars and never returned. She was then declared a demon like creature by God himself. She was punished by having to lose 100 of her children a day. (See pretty interesting stuff!)

Poor Lilith. But she’s not the only redhead who has been condemned in the past. Many are taunted and bullied every day, just for their hair color. It starts in grade school and progresses every year. Childish taunts become sexual comments. Being a redhead myself, I remember how cruel kids could really be, over something I couldn’t really change at the age of five. The older I got, the worse it got. I was always paler, so I looked awkward in shorts and skirts. When I got old enough, I started highlighting my hair, trying to dull down the color. I never really liked it, though. I really enjoyed my red hair, and could never fully dye it another color, losing my natural red forever. Comments got more sexual, and the red hair color seemed to signal an open invitation to guys, young and old, and way old!

The sexuality of a “Ginger” (not a fan of this term, personally) has always been a hot topic. Why it’s always on the discussion board, I’ll never know for sure. Jonathon Swift once wrote, “It is observed that the red-haired of both sexes are more libidinous and mischievous than the rest, whom yet they much exceed in strength and activity.” (From Gulliver’s Travels, part 4, A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms,), using the stereotype to his advantage, for sake of his story. In my personal experience, I am more adventurous than the other women my age around me, but I’m not sure it could be attributed to my hair color! Marilyn Monroe was born a natural redhead, and couldn’t seem to shake off her natural sexiness! Where did this rumor originate though? Catherine the Great, of Russia (royalty from 1762 until her death in 1796), is rumored to have been killed, after a harness that held up the horse she had sex with broke, allowing the horse to crush her. Yes, you read that right! Supposedly this woman had a horse hoisted above her bed, and she had sex with it one day, killing her in the process. Very big rumor, I’m aware. But these rumors are what have led to the image that surrounds redheads today, believe it or not!

George Washington was a redhead as well, although he has no sexual rumors following him that I know of! As was Winston Churchill, again no sexual rumors! There have been many red haired men in history that have added to the redhead image, as well as women. Some were leaders, such as Washington and Churchill. Some have been royalty, like Richard the LionHeart, and the current Prince Harry is even a redhead among us! The men have definitely added to the story of redhead’s history. More than likely, adding to the “Fiery temper part!” General George A. Cluster being known as a redhead as well!

While there are many rumors, myths, and images that redheads have trailing them in their lives, each redhead is a unique one! Some have freckles, some don’t. Some have a bright orange-red, while others have a deep auburn color. We’re still a rarity, definitely a minority of sorts! The Oxford Hair Foundation conducted a study in 2005 and found that redheads could be extinct by 2100!

Since less and less people are redheaded, there will eventually be a point where there is no more red hair! Currently, only 4% of the world population has red hair. Many have started campaigns following this finding, declaring, “Save the redheads!” I doubt though, that many redheads are choosing other redhead mates, based specifically on hair color. The gene that produces red hair is the Melanocortin 1 Receptor, found on the 16th chromosome. This gene is a mutation of another gene. This single mutated gene is responsible for producing red hair, and is also a recessive gene. Meaning that that both parents would have to give the child one Melanocortin 1 Receptor Recessive gene to produce a child with red hair. So, perhaps redheads will be extinct soon?

Redheads have many different rumors surrounding them. From temper, to sex preferences! Redheads have always been a point of interest for most. Some people seem to despise Reds, while some tend to fall head over heels for them! Why these myths and feelings about redheads are, or where they came from, we’ll probably never know for sure. So, if you’re a redhead like me, I say enjoy being unique!

The new trend is to go “Green”. We’ve all heard the term, and some even have vowed to “Go Green!” But is recycling used dildos going too far? Could you recycle your used sex toys? I know I thought it sounded pretty weird when I first ran across it. After reading the reasoning behind the idea, I thought it sounded like something I could definitely do to help better the environment.

Unfortunately, we can’t keep our favorite rabbits or dildos forever. So there are a few people who have come up with great solutions to get rid of those favored toys! There are multiple websites offering to recycle your worn-out sex toys. A simple Google search will turn up many options. But why recycle the sex toys? Some of the websites offer incentives, such as gift cards or credits (Most that offer compensation seem pretty sketchy to me! They don’t have very well built websites, or no storefront.). Some also sell “repurposed” sex toys in return. The materials from toys that have been sent in is broken down, washed, and reused! For some people, this may be a bit too much “Green-ness”, but it’s a great way to keep unsafe materials out of our landfills.

Other than the self-serving reasons, though, why should one actually recycle their vibrator? Our dildos, vibrators, and anal toys all contain ingredients that can contaminate ground water, or take hundreds of years to finally break down into eco-friendly materials. Plastic, for example, is said to take up to 500 years to decompose! That’s a really long time! Our great-great grandkids could stumble across our old used sex toys!

Phthalates are another very dangerous ingredient in most sex toys. It is known to cause severe issues in hormone levels, resulting in adverse genital development, as well as adult infertility problems and possibly cancer. If Phthalates are leaked into ground water (from landfills), it is unfilterable. This means that the more products with Phthalates as ingredients that end up in landfills, the more that ends up in our drinking water.

We can now buy “Green” sex toys, such as those made from wood or ceramic. Yet recycling these toys takes “Going Green” to a whole new level. You can now have a completely eco-friendly sex life!

Now I’m not saying you should just throw the anal beads in the recycling bin, then toss it on your curb. But there are many different options you can use. If the toy is plastic, it can be stripped of batteries, motor, and any other non-plastic components, and can be put in the plastic recycling bin. As for other materials, such as silicone or jelly, there are many options. Just as suggested before, a simple Googling of “Recycle Sex Toys” should turn up a few results.

Recycling any product is a good thing. Sex toys can be a difficult area to figure out when considering disposal. But now we have the option to “Go Green” with our sex toys, and we don’t just have to stick to wooden toys! Recycling those used up toys is a great alternative to tossing them in the garbage to sit in a landfill for the next five centuries.

The history of the G-Spot is diverse. Research, doctors, and polls cannot seem to define the existence of the G-spot. Its history is full of controversy, and possibly misguided information. There is a definite divide between those who believe in the G-Spot, and those who don’t.

The G-Spot, or Gräfenberg Spot, was first publicly acknowledged by Ernst Gräfenberg all the way back in the 1950′s. He published his findings in his small paper, “The Role of Urethra in Female Orgasm”. He claimed to have found a small amount of erectile tissue, between the vagina and urethra. Gräfenberg’s study showed that women responded positively when this area was stimulated after their becoming aroused.

The term “G-Spot” wasn’t used, however, until 1982. At this time, a book came out, titled “The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality”, by Alice Kahn Ladas, Beverly Whipple and John D. Perry. The G-Spot has only been common knowledge since this time period, which was only 29 years. The G-Spot is still young, but is wide in popularity. The idea of an intense interior orgasm exploded in news and gossip all over the world.

The book claimed the Gräfenberg Spot is a small area about one to three inches inside the vagina, on the top wall. It purportedly swells when the woman is aroused, and can then be felt, and then stimulated. Greater intensity of orgasm, with the possibility of female ejaculation, is even claimed to occur in Ladas’s book.

This book received a lot of attention, and became a very controversial subject in the medical field. Many denied the existence of the G-Spot. Others denied their claims of non-existence, saying it was difficult to locate since most experiments were conducted on corpses, and that the G-Spot gland is not swollen. Some professionals claim that only certain women possess a G-Spot.

Many studies have turned up different findings. Some say they have found it, others deny any nerve endings being in a particular spot more than any other area of the vagina. Dr. Emmanuele Jannini claimed that he found the G-Spot in 2008, and that only particular women possessed it. His theory was based on research done with ultrasound technology, using 20 women. Nine of them could experience vaginal orgasms, while the remaining 11 could not. His study showed that these nine women had thicker tissue located where the G-Spot is claimed to be located.

In contrast to Dr. Emmanuele Jannini findings, a British study was carried out using personal experiences and a questionnaire in 2009. This research concluded that it was non-existent and to be unproven. This study was simply based on the answers of women from across Britain.

Many claim that the G-Spot isn’t actually its own “spot”, but rather that it’s the extension of the clitoral tissue. This research was carried out by urologist, Dr. Helen O’Connell. Her theory states that the interconnectivity of the clitoral tissue and the vaginal tissue varies between women. This is why some women can achieve vaginal and/or clitoral orgasms, while some only orgasm with direct clitoral stimulation.

However, the G-Spot is widely accepted knowledge among many, especially outside the medical community. There are many products aimed at enhancing the G-Spot, including creams, sex toys, and even shots that go directly into the G-Spot. Many claim to have found theirs, yet there are tons of women who are searching with everything they have, to no avail. The pornography industry has been blown away by the number of G-Spot related products, as well as the accompanied “Squirting” videos. For something that doesn’t exist, there sure seems to be a lot of industry surrounding the topic.

Some women have gone to extremes to find their G-Spots. The shots, G-Spot Amplification is one offered, are given directly into the “G-Spot site”. Ouch! These can cost more than $1800 a procedure, they aren’t guaranteed to work, and only last three to four months! Is it worth that pain and price to find that special place? Sexual psychologists are worrying that the search for the G-Spot has become an issue in many women’s psyches. Dr. Petra Boynton is a well-known sexual psychologist who states that some women may feel “dysfunctional” if they cannot experience a G-Spot orgasm.

Are we searching for something that doesn’t exist? Or maybe we’re just not all equipped with the famed G-Spot? The small gland has a very controversial history, yet has a huge following of believers as well. Maybe future medical research can tell us the truth to the elusive gland. Until that time, how extreme are we going to go to find our G-Spots? Can this search for the promise of a better orgasm really be healthy for us all, especially if we all don’t possess one? I know many ladies claim to have experienced a G-Spot orgasm, but I don’t think I have yet. I have tried, but I find nothing. Maybe that means I don’t have a G-Spot? I hope someone can tell us all the truth soon.
