For this project, Flesh Love, he’s photographed over 80 couples. Kawaguchi says the men panic more often than the women. A few have struggled for air while in the bag and one man ended up pissing himself. The women just want to look good, he says.

So when a motorist called police after seeing the 40-year-old cycling naked one afternoon on Akatarawa Rd near Upper Hutt, he was shocked.

Lowe was convicted of offensive behaviour and slapped with a $200 fine, which he refused to pay. Yesterday he took his case to the High Court in Wellington in a bid to overturn his conviction.

“I couldn’t believe it, it just wasn’t right,” Lowe told The Dominion Post. “It’s a lifestyle thing – to put clothes on is uncomfortable. It’s not about exhibitionism, I’m just uncomfortable in clothes.” His lawyer, Michael Bott, argued that riding naked on a rural road was not offensive, and Kiwis had become more tolerant toward nudity.

He pointed to events such as Boobs on Bikes, the Hero Parade, National Nude Day, Naked Wedding Day and a recent naked cycle on the Central Otago Rail Trail as proof that “we’re not as puritan as we used to be”.

Justice Denis Clifford reserved his decision. At one point he apologised after chuckling at a photograph of naked people in Christchurch’s Cathedral Square.

Lowe, a builder from Johnsonville, describes himself as a “natural athlete”. He completed last year’s Coast to Coast naked from the waist down, and regularly trains in the buff.

He competed in last weekend’s Coast to Coast but wore clothes to improve his time. He can run naked for about two hours before it gets too uncomfortable, but he uses “a lot more anti-chap cream than most”.

“I walk around the house naked, I mow the lawns naked, I’ll do the garden naked. A lot of smelly, sweaty clothes, why do that when you don’t need to?”

He said nobody else had ever complained about his naked ventures, and that his ride on Akatarawa Rd last year coincided with World Nude Bike Day.

Mr Bott said Boobs on Bikes featured bare-breasted woman in G-strings riding down Auckland’s main street, and was not deemed offensive behaviour.

But Crown prosecutor Michael Snape said the public was warned about that high-profile event and they did not have to see the nudity if they did not want to.

Lowe said he had no plans to curb his naked ambition. “It would be nice to know that on a stinking hot day, I could just go out and walk naked to Oriental Bay and go for a swim.”

There are numerous factors contributing to inability for men and women to connect completely in the sexual sense. From the fractured state of masculinity in the 21st century, to pornography, to toilet wall sex education… all these things maybe misinforming and without direct and open lines of communication between the sexes, it’s easy to see how the problem becomes self perpetuating.

Unfortunately, men are often too proud to ask questions, and women are too embarrassed to suggest possible improvements but that’s exactly where we must start. Girls, as the saying goes, don’t ask and you don’t get, so you have no grounds for complaint if you haven’t at least tried to address these concerns with your man. Sure his ego might get a little roughed up but in time as he’s watching you fly through your third orgasm, I’m sure his inner caveman will be chest thumping like crazy!

And gents, it’s true, some girls want you to man up and dominate in the bedroom but if you’re not that guy yet then you’re going to have to ask questions. Look at it this way, the more questions you ask, the more answers you get and with each new relationship you are going to be better equipped. So ask your girl what she wants, how you can improve, if she likes foreplay, if she likes anal play, if she would mind dirty talk… it’s all going to lead to better sex in the end, if not with her, then your next partner.

So we’re starting to get a dialogue going which is of course half the battle, so let’s get onto foreplay. Now we’re talking about sex here, so there are no hard and fast rules, the only consistent is that everyone is different and we will all change our mood and desire dependent on our circumstance, so again… our best friend is communication, especially in a new relationship. It can be as simple as asking a partner if they’re into foreplay, if they are then you can expand on your questioning to really get your mind around their likes and dislikes.

Ladies, it’s very important to be vocal about foreplay as it will often go a long way to ensuring you’re ready to enjoy the main event to follow, so coach your man a little. If he’s pressing the clitoris like a nitrous button, ask him to work up to it, make it out of bounds for the first ten minutes – the men like a challenge!

Unfortunately it’s all too common for the modern man to mimic what’s he’s seen or rely on the dodgy information he’s been given, so thanks to drunken pub talk and racy porn films you can expect a cock in your face, a quick finger if you’re lucky and bang; you away and racing. Again, don’t be afraid to pump the brakes and withhold the prize until you’re ready to hit the gas with your man.

Something for both parties to remember is that sex, be it foreplay or penetration is not about routine; a repeated cycle will soon become boring and ineffective so keep things fresh. Maybe you’re partner likes foreplay, but don’t be afraid to read the situation, maybe you’ve just sat through a particularly horny film, try to empathise with your partner, he or she may well be thinking the same dirty thoughts as you. A little bit of sexual initiative will often lead to the hottest, hardest most spontaneous sexual encounters.

Now once things are underway we may encounter the premature evacuation of the testes. Now this can be embarrassing and demoralizing for a lot of guys so ladies, a little kindness and a few carefully chosen words will help the situation no end. Play it up, remember the guy is launching early because having sex with you obviously blows his mind, so take it as a compliment and work toward a solution. Keeping the mood light will make things easier. Gentle quips like “Jesus, you must think I’m Jessica Simpson hot” or “how good am I at working the pump?!? I want another go” might get a smile and ease any tension that’s present.

If your boy is prone to blowing early, accommodate his speed, give him head or hand and tell him it’s ok to come straight away, he can return the favour while his marbles reload then you can both go at it proper and his staying power should be greatly increased!

Boys, if this woman is letting you stick your appendage inside her, there’s a good chance she likes you enough to be sympathetic to your situation. Don’t shrink up and get embarrassed, be open about it and ask her what else you could do for her while you recover, again this is a chance to get some information about what she likes. Hopefully as you become better educated inre her likes and dislikes your ability to please her will increase, thus decreasing your anxieties and your premature arrivals.

Once penetration is achieved, don’t feel like you’re locked in the race toward the finish line, enjoy the act but know you can break away to spice things up with more head, kissing, rubbing, fondling or anything that increases the connection; believe me, you’ll always return to the penetration so mix it up.

Afterplay is possibly the most important part of the entire sexual cycle so far as the connection between a couple goes. The physical goal has been achieved and the exposed afterglow can be just as intense as any climax. So try to avoid instant slumber, or an inquisition on the future of the relationship, feel free to enjoy the moment, the warmth of another body, the acceptance of another human being. The petting and cuddling can build intense connection and if your lucky lead to more sex, crazy, deep sex!

You’ve both thought about it. You’re out shopping and you notice the way that top shows off your partners curves and you get that little flutter downstairs… so why not act on it? Now we’re not telling you to strip and bump one out by the registers at Coles but where there’s a will, there’s a way. Look for some out of the way restrooms, maybe a supply closet. Hell if you have to wander around and find a quiet corner behind a building or in an alleyway, the sexual heights attainable by a little public passion will be totally worth the risk.

Home movies

You know what’s hotter than watching people having sex on the telly? Watching yourself having sex on the telly. As the sex tape becomes more and more mainstream with A-List celebs doing publishing deals for their fornication films every other week, everyday folks are getting in on the fun.

Float the idea with your partner and discuss what might be fun, if there is a little concern about being recorded, set up a shot that won’t show your faces. As you get more comfortable with the idea and the sensation of seeing yourself and your lover in the throws of passion you may well gain in courage and become much more adventurous, opening a door to some very sexy cinema indeed!

Dirty Talk

Want to tip you lover over the edge? Well this is just about a lock when it comes to amping up the amour factor. For a few folks, some sexy gutter talk can be a huge part of foreplay, really heating things up. When you partner dispenses with the social protocol and let’s the animal take over, it says a lot about their attraction to you and what’s sexier than being wanted?

So for many some explicit foreplay is very effective. Other can be a little coy and will need to ease into the dirty verbals. In this situation the best bet is to wait until things are already cooking, when people are really in the physical moment there inhibitions can drop as their pleasure levels rise, this is when you might want to whisper a few naughty words in your partners ear and you take them over the top!

Facials

Well here’s a little sex act that doesn’t come up at the dinner table too often, and to be honest, that’s probably for the best. Under the heading facials, let’s look at any body part that receives the post orgasm ejaculate and there is some real-estate that has a no fly zone in effect much of the time.

After watching Ron Jeremy and the like paint their co-stars faces for years now, a lot of guys think it’s no big thing to aim and fire with reckless abandon; but while some women find it pleasurable to wear their man’s seed, many do not. So always discuss landing areas with your partner, for most the stomach, breasts arse and back etc are acceptable, maybe not all the time but they’re definitely within the rules of engagement. Anything above the neck is a conversation, or at least a sweaty request before the top blows off. Maybe come to a compromise and indulge in some sexy oral action in the shower, that way any deposits can be quickly washed away and the steamy location will make things hotter again!

Bondage

Who hasn’t tried handcuffs or tying your partner’s hands to the bed-head? If you haven’t you’re in the minority, and you’re missing out. The feeling of dominance and submission that can be experienced with a trusted partner can be nothing short of ecstatic and the places you can go after your initial forays into bondage are mind blowing. Just do a few online searches and you’ll find an incredible world of chips, dip, chains and whips – all just waiting for you and your significant other to take them home.

Bondage can really put some nitro into your foreplay, thus supercharging your sex play. The seduction of the ritual can make the skin almost ache, dressing your partner, lovingly restraining them and then pleasuring them in a bound and compromised state can take the intimacy between two people to amazing new places. Chat about the roles each would like to assume, and to add to the comfort levels, have a safety word, so if things get a little too heavy, the buckles and Velcro can be released for a quick breather.

Anal Sex

It’s the holy grail for a lot of guys, many don’t even know why; they just know that they really want it because for the most part they cant have it. As our modern sexuality is being discussed more and more the fact that a healthy percentage of women enjoy anal sex has become common knowledge so at the very least, a discussion on the subject should be a no brainer for couples.

If it is being attempted for the first time it’s a game of patience, start with a little rimming, and some light, lubricated finger play leading to insertion; keep talking with your partner ensuring his or her comfort. Eventually when both parties are ready and adequately lubricated, penetration can be attempted.

Go slow until you’ve got the go ahead for more throttle; initially anal sex takes a little more caution but with the nerve epicentre that resides in the anus, the pleasure that can be derived from this formerly taboo sexual act is well worth the patience.

Pornography

With modern pornography crossing further and further into the mainstream, adult movies are no longer watched exclusively by the trench-coat brigade. Today, adult stars like Jenna Jameson and Ron Jeremy can be see popping up in ads, reality series and Hollywood movies, thus, sexy films are finding their way into our bedrooms more and more.

So chat to your partner, see if you couldn’t jump start things now and then with a few sexy scenes. Today’s adult film productions are numerous and varied, what ever your tastes, you’ll find something to light your fires – films for couples, films for women, films for Argentinean dwarves… what ever you think will turn you on, it’s all there.

Give it a try… having sex while watching other have sex release the voyeur in us all, setting the scene for some mighty big pleasures.

Strip clubs

Strip joints are becoming a fun night out for couples or perhaps an intriguing book-end to a night spent out on the town. You been out for dinner, done a little dancing, had a few drinks… you’ve probably both got a bit of the Dutch courage on the go and the arousal levels are rising… it might be time for a Strip Club.

If you’ve ever been to a strip club, chances are you’ve seen couples there and the attraction they general get from the dancers. Having a lady on your arm or being said lady will separate you from the masses of lonely guys looking for a cheap grab and generally a good time will be had.

Sit together and watch each other flirt with the dancers, giving away those dollars. If thing are feeling really good, why not go together for a private lap dance, touch and feel each other while the dancers perform and heighten your pleasure. Bang!

Masturbation

Are you really into your partner? Imagine them, get a picture of them in your mind, now if they’re not already naked, get rid of their clothes. They just smile at you, slowly closing their eyes and gently running their hand over their bodies, slowly losing themselves in the thought of sex with you… Pretty hot right! Well why not bring that heat into the bedroom?

To shake things up a little now and then, mutual masturbation is a great break in pace and when both parties are in the right head space it can be an out and out winner.

The great thing about mutual masturbation is that each partner can move along at their own pace and simultaneous orgasm is reasonably easy to achieve, either sit looking at each other or lie next to each other, touching and feeling your partners movements and climaxes. Touching yourself has never been so much fun!

Fantasising

Unless you’re Brad or Angelina, likely hood is, you’re occasionally gonna think about nailing someone that is not your partner. We understand it’s not something you’d ever act on but there’s no point in fantasising a little right? Well while you have nothing to be ashamed of, neither does your partner so why not get things out in the open.

Ask about their fantasy crushes, who do they like and how could you incorporate that into your sex life. Maybe your girl would like to watch Johnny Depp films as you ride each other into sexual nirvana, or maybe your man might like to put that poster of Jessica Alba on the wall every now and then. The secret is not to get jealous, but rather take pleasure in the fact you’re helping your partner indulge in a fantasy, ultimately bringing them closer to you.

Oh yes, with a 70% increase in digital camera sales over the past 2 years alone this has led to a veritable explosion of home made erotic photography. This is often made for the private enjoyment of the participants, but there are also a growing number of exhibitionists out there amongst you all who enjoy sharing their exploits with the rest of us. The number of picture submissions to our Hot Pics section is a testament to this exhibitionist streak. To encourage this activity further we have compiled this list of tips to help you achieve erotic photography superstardom.

Inspiration
A good starting point is looking at some erotic photography ‘art‘ books for initial inspiration. Some of the great erotic works include those by Roy Stuart and Natacha Merritt. Her work is a prime example of a how anyone can turn a part time hobby into a internationally recognized career with record sales of her Digital Diaries . Both these works as well as many more should give you some ideas and get your creative juices flowing, and trust me, these are not you mother‘s art books and you will defiantly have one body fluid or another flowing after a quick browse through. You can find a huge range of these great ‘art‘ books on the cheap at the local Elizabeth ‘s book store or maybe sneak a peak at the university library during your next class break.

Wardrobe
Now after looking at all those erotic photographs for inspiration and getting some ideas of your own, the next exiting step is picking out your wardrobe. I love looking through lingerie catalogs for the newest outfits, and it might even be worth your while checking out local costume stores for some of their more revealing costumes. For the price of an overnight hire you will have a picture that last a life time, though you want to keep these pictures out of the family photo album. Additionally, this is a great way to encourage your partner to go shopping with you as there is no way any male with a pulse will pass up the opportunity to buy lingerie knowing that you will be posing erotically in them. It is also important in picking out the right outfit to pick a tone and cut that compliments your skin and body as you will be showing off a lot of both of them.

The Shoot
Once you have some ideas of the types of shots and look you are going for you know have to decide on the setting. Here are a few I have had experiences with:

• The Bedroom – lets starts close to home. Yeah ok it might sound a bit mundane but some of the best shots can be made from the privacy of your own bedroom. Spice the scenery up with a eye catching bed spread, good natural lighting, and pull a few erotic ‘props‘ out of hiding from the back of your cupboard and you have the essential erotic setting. If you have a computer and printer at hand you effectively have yourself genuine studio right there. look out Jenna Jameson.
• The Beach – With the warmer months coming, a secluded spot on the beach is another great spot for some happy shots. With that sea breeze brushing through your hair and the warmth of the sun giving your skin that healthy glow, this setting makes for a great location.
• Office Setting – Perhaps you could get a bit risqué in the office during lunch hour with that quite mailroom boy you know has the hots for you. Get a few revealing pictures of his bare ass in a compromising position as insurance to make sure he doesn‘t go blabbing and turning it into a talking point around the tea room

These are but a few ideas but literally the whole world is your canvas and we here at RedHotPie encourage you to go out and strip in the name or ‘art‘. There are even Cash prizes to be won for the top 3 entries of every month. Please look at our Hot Pics section for previous submision of our members erotic photography.
