The Havana is a slim, pink, cone-shaped silicone plug (and I do mean slim: the tip is about as wide as one of my very small, girly fingers). On its own, it works nicely as a starter plug: if you're a newcomer to anal play, or prefer to keep your butt toys on the small side, this is definitely the plug for you. Want to kick it up a notch? Slide the accompanying bullet vibe into the base, and suddenly, you've reached a whole new level. If you think vibrators are for pussies, think again: my butt definitely appreciated the added stimulation of a little (well, more than a little) vibration.

Added bonus: Because the vibrations come from a separate vibrator, rather than a built in motor, the Havana is actually two toys in one. And if you're not feeling up to anal action, you can take the small (but extremely powerful) bullet vibe on its own. Sometimes the best things really do come in small packages.

Because of its shape — think "world's smallest Christmas tree" — the Havana isn't really appropriate for those who like to keep a plug in while they're taking care of everyday tasks. When I attempted to walk around with it in, I had difficulty keeping it in; the stem is a bit too wide for that.

Like all good butt plugs, the Havana is made of silicone, which means it can be easily cleaned (but should not be used with silicone lube). When inserting the bullet vibe into the plug, be sure to lube it up — and when you're done playing, take the bullet out right away. Not using lube, or leaving the bullet in when you're not playing, can lead to the bullet getting stuck in the plug. It might not replace the Tristan as my main object of affection, but sometimes it's nice having a little crush on the side too.

We were never exactly science geeks in high school, so when it comes to subjects like chemistry (especially the sexual kind), we prefer to leave it to the experts—and what better authority to consult than the lovely Tristan Taormino, headmistress of all things hot and assological? Tristan's "Chemistry" is one of our favorite porn movies of the year, and we'll be giving away signed DVD copies and plenty of other study materials to the lucky winners of our scavenger hunt contest—but you'll have to buckle down and apply yourself if you want to grab all the, er, booty.

Check out our "Chemistry" Scavenger Hunt Contest rules and prizes after the jump.

The contest:
We've hidden these eight photos of the "Chemistry" cast members on various pages on Fleshbot and Tristan's site PuckerUp.com:

(Left to right: Dana DeArmond, Mr. Marcus, Mika Tan, Kurt Lockwood, Taryn Thomas, Jack Lawrence, Marie Luv, Tristan Taormino)

Your job is to find them, using our search feature and your own ingenuity. (A few hints: You'll find six of the photos here on Fleshbot and two on PuckerUp; all the images can be found on posts that somehow have to do with the "Chemistry" cast; and all are on posts that originally appeared in the past year or so.)

To enter the contest, send us the eight URLs of the pages on Fleshbot.com and PuckerUp.com where you found the above images (note: not the URLs of the images themselves) to fleshbotcontests@gmail.com by Wednesday, November 22 at 5 PM EST. We'll randomly select the grand prize winner and two runner ups from all correct entries received and announce the winners in time for Thanksgiving.

The prizes:
One grand price winner will receive the following:

   · Signed DVD copies of Tristan Taormino's "Chemistry", "House of Ass", and "The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women 1 & 2"
   · Signed copies of Tristan's three books "True Lust: Adventures in Sex, Porn and Perversion"; "Down and Dirty Sex Secrets"; and "The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women"
   · Tristan's signature butt plug from Vixen Creations
   · Sportsheets' Vibrating Velvet Harness
   · An autographed limited edition "Chemistry" poster
   · An assortment of AstroGlide lubes

Two runner ups will receive a signed DVD copy of "Chemistry".

OK kids ... now get cracking! (Sorry.)

No offense to our fine readers in Texas, but your state is insane. If you need proof, look no further than the state legislature's hilarious (and kinda sad) attempts to ban all manner of sexual adventure, as chronicled in the documentary "Dildo Diaries." The film dates back to 2002 (somehow we missed it at our local 18-screen cineplex), but the sex toy and sodomy laws that it address are still an issue in court rooms and sex shops as we speak. After the jump, learn why Texans can buy "educational models," but not dildos; the difference between a "personal massager" and a vibrator; and why you can stick anything in your butt as long as it isn't a penis. And you thought Tom DeLay was crazy? You have no idea.
