Police find apparent sex slave chained to pole in Detroit 'House of Horror'

When police searched the run-down, two-story house on Tuller Street in Detroit, they found something that took even longtime cops by surprise: a woman chained to a stripper’s pole, with a padlock around her neck. She’d been there for weeks, she told police — a form of punishment for trying to escape the residence. The 25-year-old woman told investigators she was a sex slave, one of four living in the home that authorities say was a prison-like brothel run by Ryon L. Travis, 32. He called them his “wives,” but prosecutors have accused Travis of treating the women more like slaves who were marketed online for profit. After being unchained, the woman told police that she had known Travis since she was 19, and that over the past year and a half, he had forced her and the other women into sex work. The woman noted that Travis had been pocketing her $700 Social Security disability check each month. “She said that the defendant posted advertisements online and in chat rooms that he had four girls for sale,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sara Woodward said at a March 23 detention hearing whose audio was provided to The Washington Post. “And she said that if she or the other women refused to dance or perform sex acts, the defendant would be violent with them, and that he would hit them with a closed fist, kick them or push them down.”

On Monday, she was arrested — accused of having sex with a student, the Alabama Media Group reported. Two days later, her husband was arrested on the same charge, involving a different victim. James “Jamie” Parker was booked into the Pickens County Jail and charged with engaging in a sex act with a student under the age of 19 as a school employee, according to District Attorney J. Chris McCool. Charli Parker also faces accusations of carrying on a sexual relationship with a student, from October 2014 until March 2016, according to court documents. After the arrests, Jamie and Charli Parker were suspended from their positions at Pickens Academy, according to statements from the school in Carrollton, Ala., not far from the Mississippi border. “I want to make clear that none of the crimes occurred on campus at [Pickens Academy] and that the administration there has cooperated fully with the investigation,” McCool, the district attorney, said in an email to The Post on Friday. McCool told The Post that Jamie Parker’s alleged victim is a former female student; Charli Parker’s alleged victim is a male student.

According to court documents, investigators believe Charli Parker and a student met several times for sexual encounters, including at a cemetery. On Thursday, court officials told the Dispatch, a newspaper in nearby Columbus, Miss., that warrants for Jamie Parker’s case weren’t available yet. “The incidents involving the husband and wife are separate and unrelated in place and manner of commission,” McCool, the prosecutor, told AL.com.

Accused Decatur woman wants teacher-student sex law ruled unconstitutional

Another Alabama teacher charged with having a sexual relationship with a student is challenging the constitutionality of the state's law banning school employee sex with students under the age of 19.

Carrie Cabri Witt, 42, a history, psychology and social studies teacher at Decatur High School, was arrested in March for having a sexual relationship with two male students, both of whom were 17 at the time of the alleged acts. She also coached girls' golf and junior varsity cheerleaders, according to the school's website.

Witt's attorneys, Robert Tuten and Nick Heatherly, filed a challenge to the constitutionality of the school employee law on Monday and request for dismissal of the charge against her, according to Morgan County court records.

Morgan County District Judge Brent Craig has given prosecutors until April 22 to respond to the constitutional challenge. The judge also delayed a scheduled April 21 preliminary hearing for Witt in her case because of the challenge.

What Your Skinny Jeans Are Really Doing To Your Vagina

There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your vagina. From yeast infections to toxic shock syndrome, problems range from straight up uncomfortable to flat out dangerous if you’re not treating your lady parts with care. So naturally, we got a little nervous when we heard that the clothes we wear might be unknowingly wrecking havoc down there.
If you search the Internet to find out what causes yeast infections or other ailments like bacterial vaginosis, chances are you’ve stumbled upon the notion that wearing tight pants can cause some issues.
Does this mean you have to give up your skinny jeans to avoid an obnoxious itch? We asked someone whose job it is to keep vaginas healthy.

Intro to vaginas: 9 lessons for bi-curious beginners

We were more successful the next time, and over the course of our year-long relationship, I really got the sex-with-a-girl-thing down. These days my lady-laden romance resume speaks for itself: I can do (and even teach workshops about) The Vagina² Sex. And all you straight, bi-curious, bisexual and/or newly queer women can, too.

1. Vagina schmagina

As long as we’re talking modern fluidity, let’s remember that vaginas can be attached to all kinds of bodies with all kinds of gender identities. First things first, always check with your partner about how they want their body parts referred to. Ask for pronouns, and stick to the singular they/them pronoun when you’re unsure.

2. Your partner’s vagina isn’t your vagina.

Being anatomically similar doesn’t automatically award you a muff-diving degree. All vaginas respond differently to stimulation and unless you’re blessed with some major flexibility, nothing can really prepare you for complicated cunnilingus. This is intimidating, but the good news is that this is true for everyone with all kinds of anatomy and sexual identities — everyone responds differently to sexual stimulation, so in reality, nobody has any idea what they’re doing when they sleep with a new person.

3. Hit the books before you hit the hay.

Google isn’t the most reliable or accurate sex educator. Start your vaginal explorations at the bookshelves with great queer sex how-tos like Lesbian Sex Bible by Diana Cage and Girl Sex 101 by Allison Moon & K.D. Diamond, or watch true-blue, bonafide queer porn sex scenes like those from the Crash Pad Series. Learning anatomy on the page or the screen rather than in-the-moment takes the pressure off your partner to speak for all queer people with vaginas and will give you a leg (or labia) up when you get down to licking, sucking and fucking.

4. Think before you dopplebang.

Sleeping with a similarly new-to-vaginas partner has its pros and cons. If you were ever in high school, chances are you know how awkward sex can be when two virgins are trying to have it. Letting someone with more experience take the lead initially is easier, and learning by example is pleasurable to say the least.
Swinging the other way on the issue (as so many of us like to do), hooking up with another newbie can feel like you’re on a new, vajestic journey together — teaming up to reach the sparkly orgasm jewels at the end of this epic sexual exploration. Plus, if this adventure turns out to be a one-night-only experimentation, you likely run a lower risk of hurting the feelings of someone already firmly invested in the queerness quest.

5. Kindly get your acrylics away from my cervix.

Finger-fucking is no place for dagger nails.

6. Forget your ABCs.

Chowing down on fish tacos, munching carpet, dining beneath the bridge, yodeling in the love canyon, lapping the labia — whatever you want to call it, cunnilingus is one of the staples of lesbian sex (and hello, any sex involving a vagina!).
Cunnlingus can feel intimidating at first but think back to your first blowjob. Were you like, “I know exactly what to do once I put my mouth on this other person’s genitalia!”? Probably not. It takes time to learn this skill, and when it comes to enjoying getting eaten out, we’ve got time.
Whatever you do, remember that tracing the alphabet is for tots, not for twats. Abandon all cunnilingus tips you’ve heard involving the alphabet and instead diversify your tongue techniques over time. Though you don’t want to stay in one place or do the same tongue motion for too long, you also don’t want to move L-M-N-O-P-fast. Get more cunnlingus tips from yours truly-good-at-it before going down.

7. Vaginas are attached to humans.

Even though you’re going gay in the hay, stick to straight talk. Telling your potential labia-loving-lover it’s your first time is recommended, but telling them they’re your weird experiment isn’t.
Sure, some people will be happy to toast you as a virgin to the vagina, but others aren’t so into introducing newbies to the realm of queer sex. “I’ve never slept with a woman before but you’re hot”; “I only do this when I’m drunk”; or “My boyfriend said I could hook up with a chick because it doesn’t count” may seem like compliments (uh, maybe) but probably won’t go over well with those you’re trying to hit on if vagina-on-vagina sex is what their real live sex lives are made of.
Though this might be a fun ride on the rainbow rollercoaster for you, queer women may actually have legitimate feelings for other women, so treat those feelings with respect.

8. Ask questions.

As I’ve said before, never have I given a partner a mind-blowing orgasm without asking questions. What all partners have responded well to is my being open to feedback and learning about their bodies, my asking questions about what they like and want, and by practicing active consent. They haven’t always responded to fancy cunnilingus tricks or my impressive sex toy collection, but everyone responds positively to being respected as a multifaceted sexual individual.

 

 

9. Finally, don’t sweat the labels because nobody cares about them anymore.

Here's What Your Vagina Should Smell Like

Broadly reports on what your vagina should smell like, and it turns out the answer is as complex as the day is long. Every vagina is its own richly fragrant snowflake and so there isn't one correct smell. Why is this? Basically, it's a combination of billions of bacteria specific to your vag. However, there are a few across-the-board odors that almost every vag deals with. 
 From Broadly:

1. The vaginal flora work to keep your vagina's pH at 4.5, or slightly acidic. 
2. It's likely that your vagina has a slightly sour smell. 
3. There will also most likely be a slight musty smell, from sweat that builds up in the nooks and crannies of the human body. 
4. Neither of these smells should be overpowering. In a blog post on Web MD, Dr. Heather Rupe says you should be able to smell a vagina from one foot away.

One foot away! I'm gonna bust that fact out at my next dinner party. (Can you invite me to a dinner party? I'm excellent company!) Broadly reports on what your vagina should smell like, and it turns out the answer is as complex as the day is long.
