HOW TO TAKE EROTIC PHOTOS...OF YOURSELF

Just a little public service announcement to start your day:

How to Take Erotic Photos of Yourself
Is there a sex kitten inside you waiting to get out? Or maybe you enjoy sex, but only with the lights off. Take control and discover your own erotic nature. All you need is a digital camera.

Steps
Plan your project: Have an idea of what you're trying to achieve. Is it just tantalizing, or red- hot? The photos will work well if you have a theme or "story" in mind. Look at magazines for inspiration. This is your chance to dress up!

Find a comfortable setting. Could be anywhere - bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen - as long as you feel comfortable there. Make sure it's private.

Consider interesting spaces. Bracing yourself against a doorway can be sexy; so can lying on a table or sitting on the back of a couch. Get creative, and use the space, walls, and furniture around you.

Remove any clutter. The photo is of you, and a distracting background can ruin an otherwise good photo.

Take a few test shots to get an idea of poses, angles, lighting, and shadows. You can keep your clothes on for this part! You can hold the camera yourself or place it on a steady surface, such as a counter, a stack of books, or even the floor. A small bean bag is good for this. For good results, get a tripod.

Pick something to wear. You don't necessarily need raunchy lingerie. Try your bathrobe to start.

Show some leg or maybe loosen the belt and reveal a bit of cleavage (if you're a woman).
If you're a woman who is not afraid of showing a lot of skin then consider wearing sexy lingerie or taking pictures of you covering your breasts with your hand.

Play around with angles! Most pictures are from straight-on and at eye level; don't limit yourself to this. Position the camera below you, and take the picture upward. Position it above, or diagonally. Try putting a vase of flowers in the foreground, with your body showing between the stems in the background. Think outside the box! Different camera angles make pictures interesting, and they can really help you accentuate your best assets and hide your flaws.

Start snapping photos. Use the self-timer function or a remote trigger (you will probably have to buy this separately). Check the preview screen to make sure you're actually getting yourself and not just the floor or the ceiling in the photo. Try different angles and poses and different degrees of nudity.

Once you've got enough pics, download them onto your computer. If your butt looks like a bright white blob, don't delete it yet! You can always manipulate the photo, crop it, play with the brightness, etc. If you don't like these results, try again in a different room or outfit. There's no magic combination.

This step is up to you. Print the photos if you want. Send them to your significant other if you want. Or delete them. It's your choice! Just make sure you are careful with the photos, if privacy is a concern.

Tips
If you share a computer, it would be best to save onto either your USB Disk, or any suitable memory card, or onto a disk (you probably shouldn't label it something like "Private" if you have nosy friends; that will just draw attention to it).

Light! Lots and lots and lots of light! Most digital cameras will automatically reduce the brightness to a suitable level. If there is not enough light to begin with, you, or your surroundings will be very poorly lit. Sometimes you want the 'dark' look, but if in doubt - start with more light, you can always darken it in the computer later.

Lots and lots of candles, both in front of you and behind you. Candle lighting makes an orangey glow and is flattering to your figure.

Don't be intimidated by the results in your camera's preview screen. You can always manipulate the photo later. Wait till you see the photos on your computer screen before you delete them.
Familiarize yourself with a good photo manipulation program. Adobe Photoshop can be used for professional retouching but is expensive and may be too complicated for the casual user. Adobe also makes a less expensive version called Photoshop Elements which is a more user-friendly product aimed at the amateur market. You could also try iPhoto for the Mac, Picasa - Google's free photo organizing and editing program for Windows, PaintShop Pro, or GIMP - which is open source and free.

If your photos come out too dark or too bright, play with the "Levels" tool as well as Brightness/Contrast to achieve a good look.
The best photos don't always involve people standing straight in front of the camera staring into the lens. Try unusual angles and close-up shots.
Your facial expression is one of the most erotic aspects of the photo. Have an inviting, turned-on expression.
Also, it may be easier if you ask a close friend to take the pictures...
Give yourself something to hold or do, this makes you look less selfconcious. Hold a flower, a teacup, or even a piece of jewelry.
NOT looking at the camera can make for very intimate pictures too.
A feather boa may seem over the top, but it can make an erotic photo look spectacular. You can often rent them at the local costume shop.
Look over photos in magazines, and realize that many of those poses are extremely uncomfortable, even if they look 'hot'. You draped in the sofa may 'feel' sexy, but just look like a lumpy, saggy body. Note what the camera 'sees', not always what seems to 'feel' like a good pose.

Warnings
Be very careful about sharing your photos with others. Particularly in electronic format. Those you trust today may not be those you trust tomorrow. When you run for the Senate in 20 years, do you want these photos circulating? Also, consider that many companies (google especially) will store things on their servers long after you delete them (i.e. people in the right place could access, for instance, your deleted picassa pictures even if you can't)

Do NOT post a photo ANYWHERE online if you are not willing to see it on the billboard on your hometown highway. Once you've put an image online, you have NO control over where it ends up. (keep in mind, if there are no identifying parts to the photo like face or distinctive jewelry or tattoos, you are less at risk of being identified.)

Unless you have a high-end digital camera, turn the flash off! Instead, make sure there's plenty of light from a window or candles and keep yourself and the camera very steady. (Use a tripod!)
Remember that most digital cameras have a short delay after you hit the shutter button. Don't move before the photo is actually taken.

Most cameras have a limit as to how close you can get to your subject and still have a focused photo. Don't get closer than three feet, unless you have a high-end camera with macro settings. You can always crop the photos later to feature just the piece you want.

Remember to delete the photos off your camera before you lend it to someone else!
If you decide to delete the pictures from your PC see How to Permanently Remove Files from Your Hard Drive.

If you sell or give away your camera or memory card, make sure that their memories are really deleted and unrecoverable. Computer programs exist that do this.

In Gratitude (a poem)

Sincere thanks to all my friends and family. I'm so grateful for answered prayers and dreams come true.

A Lover’s Dream

Late into the night and I can’t sleep
You’ve let me in deeper than I’ve ever been
To touch the softest parts of you
Chocolate on chocolate extra dark
Melting in each other’s mouths
No artificial sweeteners
It was my 100% real cane sugar
Mixed with your creamy goodness
Condensed over low heat for endless hours
To make the sweetest caramel
It was so delicious

But I can’t sleep

I’m snuggled up behind you
Wrapping my masculinity around your soft curves
Covering you protecting you sheltering you
Comforting you rocking you
As though we have always been this way...
And we have...
In our dreams

But I can’t sleep

The most peaceful expression on your face
As you dream not of Romeo and Juliet
But of life together forever with I your King
Climbing ever higher with you my Queen
Such sweet dreams as to inspire
Such a look of peace

But I can’t sleep

Daring to disturb our perfect moment
I move away careful not to wake you
But in your sleep you roll onto your back
Then reach out to find me
I put a hand on your belly and you hold it
Pressing it tightly against your womb
And your expression tells me
You’ve found peace again

But I can’t sleep

My flesh is tired
But my eyes are fresh with the sight of you
Sitting up I drink in your stunning beauty
And wonder is this really happening?
Am I really here with you?

I don’t want to sleep!

I just want to keep looking at your face
Until I feel serenity reflected back inside of me

But sleep does come eventually
Two nights later to be exact
As I lay alone in my bed
Missing you so much
Breathing become a chore
But not before a helpless tear
Glides across my face
To the sorrowful notes of Yo-Yo Ma’s cello
It wants to float across the distance
To find refuge on your cheek
But circumstances dictate otherwise
It’s condemned to exile on my pillow
There to fertilize my dreams of you
How many such deaths
Before I find life in your touch?
But it’s OK
I’m so in love with you
That I’ve memorized
Every perfect imperfection
That makes your face unique
You see my darling
In my loneliness
I'm never truly alone
Your image like a brand
Is seared forever on my heart
And I see you every day

Peace and Love,

Alizé

Please do NOT abuse the pussy

Listen to the pussy

Know that Pussy conquers all

Playing with your own pussy is a good thing


Men - Eating pussy is a good thingIt's as sweet as cake... yet clears your skin rather than make it break out like frosting tends to do

Pussy should be the apple of your eye

For the men out there... have you ever just slept in the pussy? I mean it was so damn good that after you bussed you just stayed in and passed out right there... so warm and fuzzy that it put you in instant comatose.

Pussy Poetry inspired by the Motherland

Africa

This morning I awoke with a taste
A taste for big game hunting
Sleep still in my eyes I stepped into the shower
Standing under the waterfall

Envisioning the chase
Wrapped in tropical steam

And I saw the cradle
The birthplace of my people
A lush jungle teaming with life
Stepping onto the savannah I dried myself
And stood naked for a moment
As I admired my reflection in a quiet pool
Made by God’s own hand and in His image
I am stronger than the elephant
Faster than the leopard
Mightier than the lion
Today I will feast on the flesh of the gazelle
So I roam the plain in search of my quarry
But soon I am taken by the beauty of this land
I travel East and West
From the highest point of Mount Kenya
I see heaven
To the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro
I taste bliss
Heading South across the savannah
I smell the good earth
Finding the source the Nile I head North again
I see the wonder of a continent in the eyes of my woman
So I reach down and take a handful of earth
And I feel the moistness of the rich soil
My senses absorb it all
I came to hunt and yet now I plow
Having arrived at the most fertile delta
I till the earth and plant my seed
I will make my home in Africa

Peace and Love,

Alizé

Unprotected

You kissed me
The real me
And I felt you
I still feel you
Under my skin
As though I were
Still inside you
Without barriers
Beyond all limits
Feeling each other
Sharing exclusively
Most precious gifts
Glimpsing thoughts
Previously Hidden
Sowing passion
Reaping intimacy
Conceiving more
Than we understand
Through touch
Penetrating words
Gentle caresses
Captivating sighs
Nothing between us
But manhood
Enveloped in you
Fearlessly entering
Your temple
Wrapped in you
Leaving my gift
On your altar
Offering my seed
I come apart
We be come one
My head revolves
Our world spins
Inside you
I’m unprotected

Peace and Love,

I Love Pussy

I’ve spent my entire adult life studying Pussy. Even as a youngster, my fascination with Pussy made me very different from other boys. I was exposed to Pussy at a very early age, and the way it happened wasn’t very good. I was only 5 years old and it left me feeling scared and traumatized. 3 years later, when I was again used for the sexual gratification of an older female, I was left feeling inadequate. I’ve heard of many boys going through similar abuse, becoming sexually confused and ultimately going gay. Not me. The way my brain works, I just saw it as a challenge. At age 8, I decided that I would grow up to be the greatest lover in the world. But I was scared to death of the power of the Pussy. I realized that if I was ever to face Pussy again and stand any chance of cuming out on top (pun intended,) I needed knowledge. So I was that kid in Sex Ed who sat in front and shushed the class when they started to giggle when the teacher said “vagina”. Even today, I still get annoyed when adults giggle at the slightest sexual reference in a presentation. Sex to me is very serious business. So I read everything from Masters and Johnson to Xaviera Hollander. I studied anatomy, psychology, pornography, romantic comedies, massage, kama sutra, aromatherapy, tantra, you name it, everything and anything that would give me some insight into Pussy. Finally, at age 19, I was ready for battle.

Sadly, I took the analogy of conquest literally. I practiced techniques that up until then had only been theory and developed new techniques of my own. I was so successful that in the end, I left piles of quivering flesh in my wake, scores of notches in my belt, my phone ringing off the hook with booty call requests, yet alone because I was unable to achieve any real intimacy. My story is told in my book Lovers Anonymous.

Finally I saw the light and over the past 12 years, I’ve been getting reacquainted with Pussy. I’m very happy and enjoy a healthy relationship with Pussy. Pussy doesn’t just comfort me, it undoes the damage I did to myself and restores me to positive manhood. Pussy is my best friend. Women have always been drawn to me and my power, as much I have been drawn to them and theirs. But today I celebrate Pussy. My contribution to this blog will center on my love, respect, and admiration of all things Pussy. So who am I? Just a man who loves "his" Pussy.

Peace and Love,
