Loving and Lasting Show

Yoo Hoo Entrepreneurial Lovers - you are going to love this inspirational Love Story! Personal and professional wellness advocates Rinaldo and Lalla Brutoco have been keeping the passion alive in their marriage for over 30 years. Several years ago these two organic farmers from Ojai, California ran into a problem many couples face. What used to come naturally for us gals, no longer naturally does for itself. Yup, I’m talking about personal lubrication. The Brutoco’s went seeking a solution – and found it in their back yard: organic Aloe Vera. Rinaldo, a scientist at heart, knew about the anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties of Aloe, and he soon learned why Aloe is such a powerful lubricant, and why it has a healing effect on the vaginal tissue.  Frankly, I’m thrilled the Brutoco’s found a solution to their problem, because the product they created, Aloe Cadabra®, is my absolute favorite personal lubricant. This beautifully packaged, premium personal lubricant is made with 95% organic Aloe Vera and enriched with a special blend of natural ingredients for a smooth glide, silky feel and unbelievably pleasurable sensation. And it doesn’t leave a mess – anywhere! I’m so excited to share the Brutoco’s love story with you! Please visit Aloe Cadabra® to find out where you can purchase this love inspired product. They love hearing from customers, so be sure to connect with Aloe Cadabra® via Facebook and Twitter. I LOVE Happy Endings, don’t you?

Quickies are fun every now and then, but nothing is better than delicious extended sex play and intercourse to help a couple stay tuned in and turned on in their relationship. However, sometimes couples face a challenge in their sex life – leaving both of them feeling unsatisfied and frustrated as to what to do. It’s called the Arousal Gap. On average, women take 20 minutes to reach their peak, while the average man is there within 5-7 minutes. There are several methods one can use to close this gap, but nothing works as well as Promescent. Promescent is a mild anesthetic with a unique absorption formula. It’s typically applied 10 minutes before sexual activity. It’s perfect for couples who want to have longer, more satisfying sex. Because of the specific efficacy of absorption… none of the anesthetic transfers to his partner. Urologists and therapists are recommending Promescent because it’s FDA-approved, it’s effective, and it’s safe and easy-to-use. And it works, which is why I give it two thumbs up! Jeff Abraham, the CEO of Promescent’s parent company, Absorption Pharmaceuticals, is joining me to share all the details about this relationship saving, over-the-counter product. Thank you for tuning into another lively, entertaining and arousing conversation on After Dark Radio Show!

Naughty and she knows it! Called a “Trollop with a Laptop” by East Bay Express, a “Literary Siren” by Good Vibrations, “the Mistress of Literary Erotica”  by Violet Blue, and “Erotica’s Own Superwoman” by The East Bay Literary Examiner, Alison Tyler has made being naughty a full-time job! Her sultry short stories have appeared in more than 100 anthologies, and she is the editor of more than 50 erotic anthologies, including Alison’s Wonderland, Naked Erotica, Naughty Fairy Tales from A to Z, and With This Ring, I Thee Bed. Her 25 novels include Dark Secret Love, Tiffany Twisted, Melt With You, and Something About Workmen.  Ms. Tyler is loyal to coffee (black), lipstick (red), and tequila (straight). She has tattoos, but no piercings; a wicked tongue, but a quick smile; and bittersweet memories, but no regrets. She chooses Led Zeppelin over the Beatles, the Cure over the Smiths, and the Stones over everyone—yet she readily admits she has a pitiful weakness for ’80s hair bands. What I love best about Alison is how she remains faithful to her husband of 15 years, but she still can’t choose just one perfume. Purrrrfect! Stay turned on with Alison via her website, Twitter and Amazon.com!
