UK – A candidate looking to get elected as a new North Wales MP is the author of best-selling bondage novels “steamier than Fifty Shades”.
Steffie Williams Roberts, 27, is looking to claim the Arfon seat for the Labour Party in December. Under her pen name Steffie Dawn, she has written a number of racy books that have been in the Amazon Erotica Top 10.
They focus on BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism and Masochism). Her seven-part series, A Week With My Romanian was published in 2013.
It follows a submissive who has been sharing an online relationship with an Eastern European dominant.
The first – Meeting My Master – shot to number three on the Amazon Erotica Bestseller List within six weeks.
One reviewer wrote: “This book is emotional and very steamy. It’s not for you if you are prudish! This book made my eyes bug out and my mouth drop open several times. You better get on board the ‘Romanian Master Train’.”
Speaking to North Wales Live, step-mother-of-two Steffie, who lives with her wife in Bangor, said her work was a “hobby that will always be part of me”. She added: “I enjoy expressing myself.”
Born in Rhiwlas, Bangor, Mrs Williams Roberts grew up on the Maesgeirchen Estate and studied Law at University before joining the Labour party in 2015.
She says her priority policy is to ensure there is fairer funding in Wales in the future.
“It’s time for real change. I’ve seen public services starved of money over the years,” she said.
“It’s all about opportunities, youth and life chances. We need proper funding for Wales.
“I’m a real change for Arfon – I’m a stronger and newer voice.”
Mrs Williams Roberts, who still lives in Bangor with her wife and children, is also a former beauty pageant contestant, with qualifications in Dance and Performing Arts.
She succeeded Mary Griffiths Clarke as the Labour candidate. Ms Griffiths Clarke announced last week that she no longer planned to run.
Mrs Williams Roberts is up against Plaid Cymru‘s Hywel Williams and the Brexit Party’s Gary Gribben.
*Annabelle Knight has shared her advice when it comes to sexual taboos *Among the list are bondage, erotica, sex toys, role swapping and adult shopping *Sex expert added having a caring and considerate conversation was important
UK – A sexpert has revealed the sexual trends that are no longer taboos today and how best to embrace them.
The British relationship expert Annabelle Knight, from Lovehoney, has shone a light on how bondage, erotica, sex toys, anal play, role swapping and adult shopping can all have a valuable place in a healthy relationship.
As the on-going conversation around sex continues, Annabelle also added that having a caring and considerate conversation about the sexual experience was also advisable.
Here she reveals to FEMAIL the five biggest taboos we should be welcoming….
BDSM (the act of using Bondage-Discipline, Dominance-Submission and Sadomasochism in sexual encounters), used to be the stuff of underground clubs or fetish societies and was hidden away from mainstream sex.
Nowadays including bondage in your sexual repertoire is, for lots of people, part and parcel of a healthy and happy sex life.
From light bondage, such as using masks for sensory deprivation to spanking, and restraint play. Whatever your level of experience there’s always a way you can dabble in BDSM fun.
Using a necktie or scarf to limit your partner’s sight can work wonders, as doing this can heighten their other senses, and make them more sensitive to sensual touch. This results in a more intense, and more often, satisfying sexual experience.
There are specialised bondage kits out there for every experience level such as this red hot bondage kit, which includes a little bit of everything to get you started.
However, when incorporating bondage into your life make sure you have agreed your boundaries and decided on a safe word, to ensure that play is both safe and consensual.
2. Erotica
In days gone by erotic literature was often met with raised eyebrows. When Lady Chatterley’s Lover was published, it was the subject of a watershed obscenity trial against the publisher Penguin Books.
But now, thanks to authors like Jilly Cooper, Sylvia Day, and E.L James, erotic fiction has become so mainstream that you can easily find these books on the shop floor of most bookstores.
Erotic fiction allows people to live out their fantasies through fiction, as well as garnering new ideas for the bedroom. Women that read erotic fiction report enjoying seventy-four percent more sex than women who do not.
As a couple, reading erotic fiction together can be a huge turn on, and, in a way can act as foreplay in itself. There are tonnes of great stuff out there; literotica.com offers a plethora of free erotic fiction with authors uploading new stories daily.
For something that bridges the gap between erotic fiction and women’s literature try The Endless Autumn, cited as being a mix of Fifty Shades of Grey and Bridget Jones’s Diary, it has a great blend of story and sex.
3. Couples sex toys
According to Lovehoney’s sexual Happiness Survey over two-thirds of us believe that sex plays an important role in our overall happiness, which is why more and more people are expanding their sexual repertoire with sex toys.
For many, sex toys are seen as something to be enjoyed during solo sex, but increasingly couples are turning to sex toys to enhance their sex lives.
Vibrating love rings are my most recommended couples toys as they have erection-enhancing properties and a plethora of benefits including additional external clitoral stimulation, which is extremely important for female pleasure and orgasm.
4. Anal play
In some circles the act of anal play is still very much taboo, however it’s becoming a more widely accepted sexual practice.
In the nineties around twenty-five percent of people had tried anal, but that figure had shot up to around forty percent by 2009.
The benefits of anal play are vast, not only could you achieve an entirely different type of orgasm, anal sex is also pregnancy risk free and, for those with medical problems such as Vaginismus, (where the vaginal canal closes through muscle spasms), anal play allows for intimate penetration, without discomfort or pain.
Proper anal play is extremely important – make sure to bathe beforehand and ensure you apply a good quality anal lubricant often during play.
It’s very important to take things slowly – I’d recommend using a finger or a slimline sex toy to prepare your anus before penetration.
5. Role swapping
Nowadays we are far more accepting of straying away from traditional gender roles in the bedroom.
Pegging is increasing in popularity among heterosexual couples; breaking the taboo is seen as incredibly sexy and can increase intimacy levels both sexually and emotionally.
Pegging, or strap on play is where the male partner is penetrated by the female partner, through the use of a harness and strap on.
A couple of years ago almost half of couples asked had no idea what pegging was, however, since then sales of strap ons and pegging sets have risen by almost 200 per cent according to Lovehoney.
Reversing roles can be hugely empowering and as a result an even bigger turn on. For anyone wishing to try it I’d recommend using plenty of anal lubricant and a strap on set with graduating dildos that allow for progression play.
One taboo that should never be broken…consent
Reluctance play is something that lots of couples enjoy- however it should always be consensual.
Sex is an on-going conversation with whoever is involved. If at any point someone changes their mind, then play should cease.
Having a caring and considerate conversation about the experience after is also advisable as proper sexual aftercare is very important for a happy and healthy sex life.
JAPAN – A prank video posted on social media by a higher-ranked sumo wrestler of a lower-ranked wrestler tied up, gagged and trying to free himself drew harsh criticism.
The Japan Sumo Association deemed the footage inappropriate and is calling on its members including wrestlers and stablemasters to refrain from posting on their private social networking sites.
The video footage was put up by 25-year-old komusubi Abi, in which juryo wrestler Wakamotoharu, a friend of Abi a year older than him, is bound and gagged with tape around his legs and his hands tied.
A prone Wakamotoharu lifts himself to a seated position in trying to free himself.
In a separate video that Wakamotoharu posted on his SNS account, Abi is given a similar “rough deal.”
On Nov. 9, Abi and Wakamotoharu visited the Fukuoka Kokusai Center, the venue for the current Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament, and apologized to JSA Chairman Hakkaku, former yokozuna Hokutoumi, and other executives.
They submitted statements repenting their misdeed, which were required by the JSA.
“I should have been more self-aware. I will change my attitude,” Abi told reporters.
Kagamiyama, the former sekiwake Tagaryu, who is in charge of crisis management at the JSA, said that he advised the two wrestlers, “As you both are among the leading faces of sumo, behave as role models for younger wrestlers.”
On Nov. 6, the JSA told its members to exercise caution when posting on their private SNS accounts.
“As it is hard to oversee all posts by its members, the JSA decided to ask them to refrain from posting,” an official said.
Official accounts of each sumo stable on social networking sites are not targeted for the measure.
Both Abi and Wakamotoharu are competing in the 15-day Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament, which started on Nov. 10. They both lost their bouts on the opening day.
Social media is popular among sumo wrestlers. Yokozuna Hakuho, komusubi Hokutofuji and No. 14 maegashira Terutsuyoshi all have Twitter accounts, with Hakuho having more than 123,000 followers.
UK – She’s in the midst of a world tour in support of her eighth studio album, Liberation.
And Christina Aguilera brought The X Tour to Wembley Arena in London on Saturday night, delivering a show-stopping performance for her fans in the capital.
The singer, 38, displayed her curves in a bondage inspired bodysuit and thigh high boots as she belted out her tunes both new and old.
Christina’s daring stage costume comprised a long sleeve red and black leotard adorned with leather straps and silver chains hooked up to a choker necklace.
For the duration of her performance, the singer’s platinum locks were secured up high in a slicked-back ponytail, which had been crimped for maximum volume.
Elsewhere, Christina donned a glittering black and gold leotard and coordinating chaps.
The singing sensation later switched into a shimmering black mac and wet look thigh high boots.
Elsewhere, she commanded attention in a daring metallic bodysuit, which featured nude paneling on the right hand side of the bodice.
The quirky number was set off with a pair of lace up thigh-high boots and the look also included a gravity defying collar.
Diamante embellishment on the bodice drew attention to her cleavage, giving the attire some added glamour.
Platinum singer-songwriter Christina a has added a second London date to her first U.K. tour in thirteen years.
The vocal powerhouse is bringing The X Tour to Glasgow, London, Manchester and Birmingham this November. Tickets are available now at LiveNation.co.uk.
Last month, Christina became emotional when she accepted an award from a domestic violence shelter last week.
The star was honored with the Community Hero award from Nevada’s The Shade Tree, and tearfully recounted her own past with domestic violence during her speech.
The superstar has opened up in the past about the abuse she, her mother and her sister endured at the hands of her father, becoming a role model for domestic violence survivors.
‘It’s just disgusting and it happens far too much to people that we do love,’ said the Beautiful hitmaker during her moving speech.
USA – Miss BumBum Suzy Cortez is no stranger to pushing the envelope with sexy shots, but she may have posted her sultriest yet when she dressed in dominatrix-inspired attire while posing on all fours.
In her newest Instagram post, Suzy added in her caption that any of her 2 million fans who were interested in more sizzling shots could sign up for exclusive content from the Brazilian bombshell. Though Suzy makes money from appearances and modeling contracts, she often posts about her private website, suggesting that it is a significant source of revenue for the buxom brunette.
No doubt many will be swayed to sign up after her latest shot. In the picture, Suzy wears a leather outfit that gives off serious dominatrix vibes due to its material and strap details. The top part of the outfit consists of a bralette, with a peek-a-boo accent at the side of the bust.
A strap wraps around her tiny waist, cinching her torso and highlighting her hourglass figure. The ensemble then turns into a thong bottom to leave much of her peachy posterior on full display. Another strap then wraps around the bottom of her famous derriere, once again emphasizing her insane curves.
Suzy seriously upped the dominatrix vibe by adding a pair of black patent leather thigh-high boots with a lace-up accent. Though fans will miss seeing her long and lean legs, she ensures that focus remains on her famous “bumbum.”
The bombshell completed the look with a leather mask that had bunny ears on top.
It is not just the ensemble that has the pulses of her fans racing, but also her pose. Suzy faces away from the camera, again keeping attention on her posterior. However, she is also on her hands and knees, in a very suggestive position. She looks over her shoulder at the camera, smoldering all the while.
