This week we are talking about the wonderful article on how socks are sexy written for us by Molly Moore with the delightful Emmeline Peaches.
Who is Emmeline Peaches
Emmeline Peaches is a sex toy reviewer and blogger here in the UK, she writes daily on her blog emmelinepeachesreviews.com or you can find her on twitter.
Not only does she blog but she was also on Channel 4 this year talking about sex toys and got to take a tour around the Bondara factory.
We would just like to say a huge thank you to Emmeline for coming on the show. We are big fans so having her on was a total treat.
Sorry about the audio quality. To be able to record this we had to take a different approach from normal. While it has come out OK there is more work to do.
Rant: Digital Economy Bill
Well the bill was passed into law and now we have a surveillance state like no other. Not only will our government now be able to track every website you visit (regardless of whether they think you have done something or not).
But now they have even more powers to intercept phone calls, email, text messages, instant messages, pretty much anything.
But more importantly they can hack your devices (computers, phones, routers, printers). This requires oversight but not much.
Powers even China and Iran don't have
But something that was snuck into the bill was a section on how they can force companies to open or break their encryptions mechanisms to give the government access to the information they keep.
This is something even the USA hasn’t been able to ask for, and something Iran and China can only dream about.
Is it practical, well that is another discussion but the fact is it has been made into law and that is a bad step.
There is a great article by Cory Doctorow in the Guardian on just how insidious it is.
Socks are sexy
There was a study done into the ability for couples to archive orgasm. Something that was found was when they were wearing socks their ability to reach orgasm went from 50% to 80%
The experiment
We were very lucky that Emmeline agreed to do a little experiment.
She is normally a sock wearer when she is in bed so to try out this idea she agreed to go sockless for a week to see what would happen.
More to socks than meets the eye
It turns out there is a lot more to socks than any of us thought there could be. From them looking sexy to being used as a toy for the BDSMers.
