Would You Try This?: The Spermine Facial

Jun 01, 2009 @ 11:43am

facialphoto.jpgSo I was browsing through this week’s New York magazine on my way to work this morning and read a short piece on how the latest craze in anti-aging treatments is a sperm-based facial. I’m sorry, what now?

Called the Spermine Facial, it consists of slathering synthesized human sperm on your face and then running an ultrasound and infared light over the substance to help it, ahem, penetrate deeper. Townhouse Spa is currently offering this service for $250.

Apparently studies were conducted (can you imagine that clinical trial?) that showed that the antioxidant found in human sperm makes your skin softer and less wrinkly. I’ve seen people put some pretty crazy stuff on their face in the name of beauty but this takes the cake. I’m all for piling on the lotions and potions to keep my skin looking its best, but I don’t think I could get over the gross-out factor on this one.

Would you try the Spermine Facial or is this just too gross for words?

Spermine, a powerful anti-oxidant originally discovered in, yes, human sperm, is said to diminish wrinkles and smooth the skin. The substance is now being synthesized in laboratories and sold by a Norwegian company called (seriously) Bioforskning. Spermine facials (really) cost $250 at Townhouse Spa, where the substance is penetrated with ultrasound and infrared light (a more basic treatment can be found for $125 at the nearby Graceful Services). Also available at Townhouse for $175: snail-secretion facials.

Getting Down on Laissez-Faire Sex

Any word said in French sounds sexy! (orgasm < la mort douce)


I've been nitpicking on the phrase "laissez-faire sex" for half-an-hour now trying to achieve "moksha" sans kama sutra. *wink*


The curiosity started after reading the article "Is Food the New Sex?" by Mary Eberstadt.


Here are my train of thoughts on this matter as I quibble on the euphemism..


Laissez-faire, imho, is an economic policy/doctrine that shuns government out of trade and entrepreneurship. So what the ef does the government has to do with sex (even if there are a lot of screwin'round done in politics)?!


Consulting the www, I came up with several explanations/definitions of laissez-faire.


Laissez-faire is French for "let do". Hmmmnn..okay, consulting the example given by Eberstadt, "She has even been known to watch pornography with her boyfriend, at his coaxing, in part to show how very laissez-faire she is."


So, does this mean laissez-faire sex means letting your partner do things [s/he wants] to you, that liking it or not does not matter..? I don't like the idea of it. Imagine having sex just for the pleasure of your partner and not yours..? That's not a very symbiotic relationship. =P


Laissez-faire is French for "leave alone". Leave alone sex sounds more like masturbation with this translation, so no, it does not jive with the example given either.


An online friend, let's call her Desire, then gave her two cents, after I asked for it since racking through my brain is not enough, that on the example given by the researcher, she interpreted it as a homophone for "lazy". Of course that made me LOL.


Laissez-faire on economics and finance, is a policy/doctrine dictating a minimum of governmental interference in the economic affairs of individuals and society. I kinda hit the spot, but not quite..Yey!


An open market sex, as Warped (author of Charmaine and Fucking Nadia) pointed out. But market equates to trade, I said. Then I swayed for it, since and there's a lot of exchange [of bodily fluids] done in the process of sex, starting from swapping salivas to squirting--uhm--spunks. Going back to economics, sex money/business without government intervention kinda seems wrong as well. Prostitution, after all, is the world's oldest profession; and getting nothing from it and unregulating it is dangerous!


Laissez-faire is a policy of allowing events to take its own course with minimal intervention. With this definition, I came up with spontaneous sex (read: HOT!). Two people meet, get a good stare (inventory? hmm) at each other, then, wham-bham-kabaam! He lights up a cig while she sleeps. Okay, I know we're getting in a kinkier side of sex, but it's not the definition that Eberstadt implies with her example.


Then it dawned on me, what if we take the defintion of economics' laissez-faire, minus the economics..?


Laissez-faire sex is having sex sans restrictions. (oh, I know I'm good..huh..?)


A definition to which "Rac" has the balls to ask, "Is there such a thing as restricted sex?" to which witty goddess kink_gurl (author of Tom and Adrea and The Date With A Stranger) replied, "There is such a thing as restricted sex. Isn't it called bondage?"


Drat! Why haven't I thought about that frickin' pun! Gawd, I'm getting rusty! Good thing we're having this orgy, screw mind masturbation! LOL!


Increasing my karma, still trying to achieve nirvana (which made me wonder since I'm an agnostic, most prolly through plurking), and came up with *drum rolls* "Laissez-faire sex is the freedom to pursue or have sex with noninterference to the affairs of others." How's that for the definition of laissez-faire sex?

Steamy Nite in Hollywood

It's a rainy, humid, Friday night, and it reminds me of the night my friends and I went out to Hollywood to drink, dance, and have fun. That night, amidst the Asian crowd, I met her..

She was so stunning in her statuesque feature, long, ash blond hair, baby blue eyes, and thin, pink lips. She came to me, we danced, and she spoke in her drunken stupor in a language I could not figure out at first since she's slurring with her words..

"Je suis désolé que je sois ivre.."

She said those words again. This time in a breathy voice. The dance floor suddenly became warmer, and my hands began to sweat. She speaks French.

"Ich bin traurig, dass ich getrunken werde.."

She whispered to my ear again. It's another different language. Did that mean she spoke a different one a while ago..? I was still pondering my thoughts when she put her arms around my neck and bent down to kiss me. It was sweet. Her hands were warm and soft, her lips warmer and softer. I could not believe my luck! I did not pry my tongue in her mouth, not yet anyway, I did not want her or her friends to think that I am taking advantage of her drunken state.

"I said, I am sorry I am drunk. I only had one too many," she explained.

"It's okay. I can see you are drunk, do you want to go back to your friends now?" I wanted to hit my noggin for asking her the silly query, but luck was on my side. She said "no" and kissed me again. This time, she ran her long fingers through my long hair, still in the middle of the dance floor. I held her face, touched her cheeks and jawline. It was so smooth.

"Let's go to the powder room.." she sugge--- no, she commanded, and I obeyed.

Despite the humidity, she was wearing a turtleneck sweater, a pair of plaid pants, and boots. I was thinking she went straight to the club after work. I on the other hand wore my denim mini-skirts, red halter blouse, and knee-high boots.

As we stepped inside the ladies' room, I got a good look on her face. She looks European, Swedish perhaps. She reminded me of that paperback I read when I was in high school about a Swedish lady who owns a motel where-in the room keys were thrown by men into the pool and women would dive into the pool in order to retrieve it, therefore having access to the said room and its occupant. She's a decade, more or less, older than me. Her cheeks were marbled with blood vessels, and I am a sucker for those features. The three-inch heeled boots she was wearing only added to her five foot ten inches tallness that I was facing her B-cups when we got crammed inside the cubicle.

We started lip locking again. This time more wet, more torrid, and more wanton that I could taste her jager-bombs mixed with my sex on the beach. Her hands were all-over my body and mine imitated hers. She cupped my double-Ds, squeezed it, played with it. I felt her butt cheeks and pinched it when she started to tread her lips and tongue down my neck. The cubicle felt so stuffy. She took my hands and brought it down her crotch area, yearning to be touched. I obliged.. I caressed her crotch like she wanted me to as she slid her hands up my skirt. I unbuttoned and unzipped her pants, stripped it down along with her underpants. I got excited when I saw it, and it was excited to see me as well. I started kissing it.. Then licked it.. Nibbled it.. And then finally sucked it.. She was feeling so ecstatic she let out a groan. I was enjoying giving her pleasures when the lady by the restroom's sink knocked on our cubicle's door.

We hurriedly put ourselves together. I left the cubicle first waiting for her to follow me, but her friends were waiting outside and I assumed they brought her home. I never got her number nor her name. Her friends were tall too, just like her.. I wonder if they too have penises as big as hers.
