The owner of the company Tammy Morris says “kids love the pole.” She says she has worked hard to separate the art of stripping from the art of pole dancing, with the focus of the latter being fitness and technique. She acknowledges that the activity is steeped in sexual history, but nonetheless, thinks any moral panic around its instruction to young people is misplaced. “Children have no (erotic) association with the pole whatsoever,” says Morris, arguing that kids would see the same apparatus at a fire hall, play ground or circus. “Unless you teach someone to grind and make reference to taking off your clothing, there’s nothing wrong with it.” Notably, the only classes on which there are firm age restrictions are Exotic Dance and Lap Dance, leaving open those with names such as Bellylicious, Sexy Flexy, Pussycat Dawls, and Promiscuous Girls.

Is there not any other way for a child to get there exercise? Is gymnastics or a sport not a better route? Will you not develop your fitness level and learn technique with that? If we do let the young girl’s pole dance, then when do we start educating the teenage boys that pole dancing is nothing more than a fitness tool, period, the end. You know full well that when the hormones kick in there’s going to be trouble. It’s hard enough already for the young girls to resist the peer pressure of a young boy asking/begging them to do things they may not want to do. You can’t tell me that most of the girls are not going to dance seductively for the boy(s) if pressured. They see it in the movies and on TV; they hear about it from friends, they’re not stupid. They know, or will know shortly, what one of the main reasons for learning to pole dance is for. Why do we need to expose our kids to this adult past time? They are already bombarded by TV, Movies, Magazines, Radio, etc… about needing the perfect body and being sexy why do we need to add this?

She goes onto to say “I challenge anybody who has anything to say about it being a bad thing or a sexual thing or ‘how can you let your child do this?’ to get up on the pole and try to pull their legs over their head.” What the hell does that have to do with it being wrong, sorry I guess I didn’t say it loud enough WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! Just because I don’t have the muscle strength to pull my legs over my head while holding onto a pole doesn’t take away from it being wrong and it sure as hell doesn’t mean I can’t voice my opinion on the idea. Where’s the logic in that statement?

I just think we are exposing our kids to too many adult situations and these kids are being set up to face even more challenges as they go through their teen life into young adulthood. We need to take a step (a giant step) back and try to let kids be kids and not have them grow up at such a fast pace. I’m afraid to even contemplate what the next thing we are going to screw our kids up with.

Original Story + A Little Bit More

FAIL!  FAIL!  FAIL!

I wrote 5 blogs last year and then one thing led to another and here I am a year later starting all over again. This time my wife has promised to do nasty and downright dirty things to me if I don’t write a blog at least once a week. Now before you all start thinking “well if I was going to have nasty and dirty things done to me (and I like kink) then he’ll never write a blog again”… Her idea of nasty and dirty is not let me have any kink. Needless to say this blog and my thoughts should be a pretty regular event around here.

As you probably already guessed, I am a man and I own Funcouples Web Services. We are based out of British Columbia, Canada and have been in operation for over a year. You’ll notice that I reference “we” a lot and that is because my wife helps me with tons of encouragement, solid & sensible business advice and endless love. She is also the female half of any toy reviews that we personally put up on the site. We are both deeply in love with each other and have been together for more than a decade now. We hope to be able to share some of our stories and advice on what keeps our relationship strong in hopes that maybe you too can find that someone special or keep your someone special, special.

So here I am a year later and Funcouples is slowly starting to make some headway into this great world of Adult Education and Entertainment. We have changed suppliers and fine tuned our product lines as we are now concentrating on “Body Safe” toys that everyone will agree is the way to go. If you look at the ingredients on the food you are about to buy because you are concerned about what is going in you then it only makes sense to do the same with the toys that are going inside you. If I find out a product on my site is not safe or is very questionable then I will immediately remove it and stop selling that product. My wife and I try out a lot of the toys we sell (No not the ones we sell to people, yuck) and I will not endanger my wife’s or my health to try and make a buck. We hope we will be able to offer people some knowledge here and there as well as maybe letting someone know that they are not alone out there and other people like the same thing as they do. Who knows, we might even shock someone once in a while (especially if my parents ever learn to operate a computer). 

Well, I’ve only given you a small snippet of who we are and what we are trying to do here but hopefully it peaked some interest and you’ll come back when I write more posts – “yes love, I will not forget to have next week’s post written in time.”

Feel free to leave a comment as we love to hear from other people how we are doing or what’s on their mind. Till next week….

Refuse to let your troubles multiply, just take them one by one.

Organize your time,
keep your life simple and exactly the way you want it.

Refuse to complain about things,
learn to improve your surroundings
and create your world the way you believe it should be.

Refuse to dwell on the mistakes or disappointments
that are sometimes a part of life,
instead learn how you can make things better.

Be optimistic.

Be energetic and positive about the things you do,
and always hope for the best.

Believe in yourself at all times and in all aspects of your life.

Before you know it,
those wonderful dreams you have believed in
all your life will come true,
and your life will be the happy and successful
life that it was meant to be.

We hope this has helped bring a little sunshine into your day. Till  the next time… “Have a week worth having!”

Use your fingers or one of the toys you have bought from our store (nudge, nudge) to bring your partner to orgasm. At the start of her orgasm, apply gentle but steady pressure to the clitoris with two of your fingers. Hold this pressure until her orgasm is completely finished. Some women find that the ebb and flow of the orgasm can continue on for quite awhile and this can increase all aspects of the orgasm.

You can also try a slight variation of this method by applying pressure to the clitoris for a few seconds during orgasm and then releasing the pressure. Repeat this every couple of seconds throughout your wife’s orgasm. She may like this so much that you will be asked to incorporate this into part of your regular lovemaking.

If you are going to use a sex toy, like a vibrator, instead of your fingers, be aware that the vibrations may be too intense during orgasm and you may want to turn the vibrator off while applying pressure to the clitoris. Remember to follow her wishes as she will guide through her orgasm and with a little practice you will be sending her on wave after wave of ecstasy.

We hope you find this tip helpful and would love to hear your thoughts and stories about trying this out on your partner. Please leave us a comment and till the next time….
