The Screaming O, ASFX.org Co-sponsor Long Beach AIDS/LifeCycle Team

The Screaming O will join forces with the Association For Safe Fun Sex (ASFX) to sponsor Team Long Beach during the 11th Annual AIDS/LifeCycle bike tour. This seven-day ride down the California coast raises funds and awareness to fight HIV/AIDS and attracts thousands with a common goal to educate and make a change.

ASFX is the first association of its kind to provide expert information on sexually transmitted infections and other safe sex issues in a fun, fresh fashion. Working alongside The Screaming O, the two are promoting this message by providing Long Beach’s long-running cycling team with the support it needs to complete their significant journey.

“We jumped at the chance to team with ASFX once again to be a part of such a life-changing event,” The Screaming O partner Keith Caggiano said. “This landmark 545-mile bike ride takes participants and their supporters through beautiful California with everyone working together for a common cause. It’s an honor to be involved.”

Fans can follow team Long Beach’s journey closely on ASFX.org with the official Screaming O Team Long Beach Tracker, keeping them up-to-speed on their cycling path and the various fundraising events planned before the team takes off.

Several fun and interactive events, including a St. Patrick’s Day-themed beer pong tournament, Official Training Rides, and even a tattooing party are in the works for the months prior to the official send-off June 3.

The kick-off event is set for Saturday, March 3, from 2-5 p.m. at the Paradise Piano Bar, where attendees can enjoy free Screaming O and Rock On Sexy prizes, as well as other sexy and exciting goodies. The Paradise Piano Bar is located at 1800 East Broadway in Long Beach, Calif.

“The Screaming O and ASFX are a perfect match for Team Long Beach, as we all want to help people feel more comfortable about sex by talking about it and making it fun!” Team Long Beach captain Melinda Elmer said. “Sometimes you have to get creative when raising awareness of HIV/AIDS, and events like AIDS/LifeCycle helps demystify it by eliminating the stigma.”

The Screaming O and ASFX logos will be on full display on each cyclist’s jersey for all to see, something Elmer said already catches the attention of onlookers during practice rides.

“Everyone comes up to us and asks what The Screaming O is, and when they realize it they all say, ‘Ooooooh,’” Elmer said. “The logos are on our pockets and across our backs – the most prominent positions.”

Safe sex is a message that all too often falls on deaf ears, and ASFX is the first association of its kind to bring a fun, fresh and modern attitude to educating the public about condom use, sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancy prevention. ASFX’s events break the notion that condoms are a boring buzzkill by showing the sexually active and curious hundreds of ways to make condoms an essential part of the bedroom routine.

AIDS/LifeCycle is a week-long, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles that raises money and awareness for HIV/AIDS with thousands of participating cyclists and “volunteer Roadies.” The work has supported the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and for 19 years, and this marks the 11th year with the AIDS/LifeCycle moniker.

Kanye West Tells Taylor Swift to Buzz Off and Bang a Sex Toy


LOS ANGELES – Nov. 3, 2010 – Hip hop diva Kanye West’s beef with read-my-diary-out-loud Taylor Swift has taken a sexy turn. He’s moved from stealing her spotlight to offering sex advice via AskKanye.com, where he recommended the glitter princess try some sex toys to spice things up down south.

One fan asked if he’d ever used a Screaming O Vibrating Ring, a cockring marketed to give women screaming orgasms in the sack while essentially making men feel like…men.
Kanye responded immediately. But of course he’d never admit to using a sex toy.
Kanye: No. If I want to make a girl orgasm I rap on their clitty. One time I rapped a full 16 bars and the girl passed out and almost died. So now I just stick with 8.
Fan: That sounds dangerous! Let us send you a Screaming O and save someone’s life.
Faster than he could snatch a microphone, Kanye told his humble fan to send a Screaming O Vibrating Ring to someone who could truly benefit:
Kanye: Send to someone in need. I recommend this person.

Lo and behold, the person to whom Kanye so philanthropically linked was none other than pretty sparkle princess Taylor Swift, whose most recent sexual links include actor Jake Gyllenhaal and fellow outspoken douche/artist John Mayer. Kanye must think both gentlemen could use some battery-powered penis improvement.

“We all thought the feud was over, but either Kanye’s still got some baggage for Taylor Swift to carry or he’s reinventing himself as a sex therapist,” The Screaming O partner Keith Caggiano said. “And now he’s digging at Gyllenhaal and John Mayer. Whatever Kanye’s deal is, we’re happy to be on board. Any hot, sex – and legal – pop stars who want to have more orgasms can have their pick of our sex toys. And by the sound of Kanye’s attitude, it seems he could use a friend. Possibly even a Screaming O Buddy vibrator. We know just what to send him.”

The Screaming O’s flagship product, the Screaming O Vibrating Ring, was named “Best Product of 2008” Women’s Health Magazine, and the BigO vibrating erection band was named “Top Pick” by renowned sex educator Dr. Sue Johanson, host of the Oxygen network’s popular “Talk Sex With Sue.”

Kanye – or a quicker counterpart with just as poor grammar – answers your most curious questions on AskKanye.com, firing the kind of clever quips that helped make him famous. (Pre naked cellphone pics.)

The Screaming O® is the top-selling, award-winning, best-reviewed adult novelty company behind some of the most popular and innovative adult toys on the market and has successfully enhanced couples’ romantic and intimate relationships since 2005.

In addition to its award-winning product lineup, The Screaming O itself has received countless accolades within the industry for its high-quality production standards, innovative design and honorable business practices. The Screaming O won StorErotica Magazine’s 2007 “Innovator of the Year” award, and was named “2009 Adult Toy Manufacturer of the Year” and “2010 Marketing Campaign of the Year” by XBIZ, a top industry trade media company.

ASFX, Screaming O, Hustler Hollywood to Launch ‘Play Safe, Stay Sexy’ Safe Sex Awareness Campaign

Hustler Hollywood to host Association for Safe Fun Sex event to promote the power of the condom, and that safe sex is amazing sex!

LOS ANGELES, CA – June XX, 2010 – The Association for Safe Fun Sex (ASFX), The Screaming O,  and Hustler of Hollywood are teaming up to promote safe sex in an exciting new way. The innovative threesome of safe, fun and sexy will be putting on a series of events at Hustler Hollywood stores across the country. The initiative is set to spearhead the new safe sex revolution, challenging the bad wrap that has been associated with traditional safe sex.

Starting with the flagship Hustler Hollywood boutique in Los Angeles, the sexy alliance aims to ensure that young adults nationwide adopt a smart approach to safe sex. The launch of the “Play Safe, Stay Sexy” campaign kicks off on Saturday, June 26th at 7 p.m. at the famous Hustler Hollywood store at 8920 W. Sunset Blvd. The free event will feature a live DJ, a Screaming O Vibrating Condom Pack giveaway, special celebrity guests and the sexy Scream Team providing valuable information to ensure club goers, bar hoppers and party animals are well protected on their wild nights out.

“The point is to educate and equip individuals so they can start a wave that will reinstate safe sex as not only an important issue, but an exciting and fun one,” says Keith Caggiano, founder of ASFX.  “Teaming up with Hustler of Hollywood is the perfect way for us to grab people’s attention before their big night on the town.  It should be an exciting series of events that will redefine people’s idea of safe sex.”

ASFX, The Screaming O, and Hustler of Hollywood are eager to educate couples on the various pleasurable options available to keep them protected while feeling connected during their Saturday night in-store pre-party. Hustler Hollywood was a no-brainer choice to host “Play Safe, Stay Sexy” nightlife events not only because the adult boutique is located at the hub of Hollywood’s nightlife scene, but because its sales staff knows the tools, tips and tricks that can add sexy and safe spice to the bedroom.

With a forward thinking approach and open-minded outlook, together ASFX, The Screaming O and Hustler of Hollywood plan to prove safety and pleasure can be a match made in heaven.

“We know how it is; friends go out for a crazy night on the town and want to bring the party back home,” adds Caggiano. “This is our opportunity to make sure they are well-protected if they should decide to move things from the dance floor to the bedroom.”

About ASFXThe Association for Safe Fun Sex was founded in 2007 to promote safe sex awareness in a fresh, fun way, steering clear of traditional – and often boring – educational techniques. The organization uses youth-oriented events, partnerships and exciting promotional activities to catch attention and show the world how sexy using condoms can be. ASFX knows that safe sex education should never be dry! For more information on ASFX, please visit www.asfx.org or www.twitter.com/asfx.org.

Can Your Partner Pass the Test?

You’ve been on a couple dates to the movies, maybe a candlelit dinner or miniature golf.  Things with your partner are starting to get more intimate and you’ve decided it is time to take the next step.  But before you do, it’s time to ask that dreadfully awkward question- have you been tested?  Yes, it can seem like a mood killer, but it is really not as uncomfortable as it seems.  Just close your eyes, count to three and ask.  It will be done before you know it, and chances are your partner wants to ask you the same thing too.   However, if you still can’t muster up the courage to ask, ASFX has some helpful tips to ease the worry.

Keep it light.  Chances are if you don’t act like it’s a big deal, neither will your partner.  Next time you are cuddled up on the couch watching your favorite flick, casually ask your significant other if they’ve been tested for STDs.  Trust me; they’ll be glad to know you care about keeping things safe.

Make a date out of it.  You are both in this together, so why not grab a bite to eat and mention you want to swing by the clinic so you both can get tested together.  This takes the pressure off of your partner and shows him or her that you guys are in this together.

Get on subject.  Find a way to seamlessly ease into the subject without missing a beat.  Mention that a friend of yours just got tested and that you were thinking of doing the same.  Then casually ask your partner if they have ever been tested.

Get creative, there are plenty of ways you can breach the subject.  It doesn’t matter how you do it, but that you do.  If you are too intimidated to talk about sex responsibly, then you might not be ready to take that next step.  It is extremely important to make sure both you and your partner are protected.  While condoms do protect against STD’s, nothing is full proof, so getting tested is key to having a healthy sexual relationship.  The relief you and your partner will feel after being tested will surely be something you’ll want to celebrate.  The less time you waste worrying about asking those four little words, “Have you been tested?”  the more time you can spend doing… well, you know.  Stay safe and be sexy.

The Condom Craving

Have you ever had that insatiable craving, that sweet-tooth craving for the right…condom? From spearmint to chocolate, there are tons of tasty flavors to get you off.  Not only do flavored condoms taste great, they can add an exciting element to your sex life while keeping you safe from STDs. Let’s be honest, nobody likes the taste of “passion” (if you know what I mean).  Next time he suggests the two of you head back to the bedroom for dessert, grab a kiwi-strawberry condom and take it a bit more literal.

It’s Back to School Night for the Association for Safe FUN Sex: Safe Sex is a Buzz-Worthy Topic for College Students

LOS ANGELES – March XX, 2010 – The Association for Safe FUN Sex (ASFX.org) is on a mission to educate college students on safe sex awareness, as well as inform them on the fun that can be associated with it. The organization is using The Screaming O condom packs, which consist of one condom and a vibrating condom ring, as a way of promoting safe sex in a brand new and exciting way.  ASFX is the first association of its kind providing important information on sexual education, simultaneously keeping things new and exciting.  The group aims to redefine the negative wrap associated with condoms by spreading awareness of The Screaming O’s innovative option for protected intercourse.

Condoms are the most common and effective means of protecting partners from STDs and unplanned pregnancy.  Attempts have been made to improve their appeal such as ultra thin latex, ribbed condoms, and various lubricants that claim to increase excitement, yet they seem to fall short and are generally perceived as an inconvenience.  Bushman Products, the global innovators in intimacy building toys, has put an exciting spin on condoms with the Screaming O condom pack and vibrating condom rings.

“The Screaming O Condom Pack is a great way for us to promote safe sex in a fun, new manner,” says Bushman Products Vice-President Keith Caggiano. “People often complain that condoms are desensitizing or uncomfortable, and as a result, many are engaging in unprotected sex.  Our mission is to eliminate the bad reputation surrounding safe sex and prove that it can be good, in fact, it can be better.”
On February 18, 2010, ASFX joined together with the University of Georgia to educate students on the many stigmas that surround condoms. ASFX traveled to the University of Georgia to participate in an event entitled “Kappa Sutra” – a program created to raise students’ interest and awareness in safe sex by passing out Screaming O condom packs.  Not only does The Screaming O condom pack send good vibrations between partners, it keeps them safe from disease and unplanned pregnancies.

“Safe-sex awareness often falls on deaf ears, and we at Bushman Products are on hand to shout it from the rooftops – and let everyone else scream it from the bedroom,” says Caggiano. “Giving out The Screaming O condom packs brings attention to the issue at hand, and makes the thought of using condoms exciting again, something people will remember to do every time.”
With STD’s on the rise amongst America’s college students, The Screaming O condom pack has redefined the notion of safe sex, making it an essential must for lust.  By spreading awareness of these exciting alternatives to traditional condom use, the ASFX is achieving their goal in convincing couples to practice safe sex, reminding them pleasure and protection can go hand-in-hand.
