Music to romance by


Looking for the perfect romantic music for your candlelit dinner or to share a glass of wine at sunset? Try the Second Movement of Bach's Double Violin Concerto in D Minor.

Yes, it's a mouthful, but well worth the effort to locate this piece.

String orchestras are some of the most romantic musical instruments, especially violins when playing a movement like this one. The two violas compete with each other like two lovers desperate to let the other know, "I love you".

While most musicians will tell you the construction of this piece is an excellent example of a technical composition known as counterpoint, you don't have to know anything about music in order to appreciate its beauty. It'll carry you to emotional highs that are a perfect backdrop for a romantic evening.

Still, if you're curious, it might make good table conversation to know a little about the piece. The technique, counterpoint, focuses on two instruments or sections of the orchestra playing different melodies in a kind of duel - note against note. Each violin's melody is independent of the other yet when played together, they fit. The two harmonize and blend into a wonderful bigger sound that is exciting and breathless.

As you listen to the building of the melody, the strings wail with heartfelt emotion and rise almost to a crescendo only to fall back into the melancholic rhythm gradually rising once more.

So set your table, light those candles and enjoy this piece while dining, knowing you're setting the perfect romantic mood.

She Said, He Said

Today we debut a new weekly feature, the She Said, He Said advice column, where the Hussies and our Official Hunk, the oh-so-gorgeous, body-to-die-for and man with a brain that turns us on, the one and only Scott Fleissner.
You've seen him in one of our most popular posters (yes, the one you all have lusted about for months),

and now that Scott has been named the Official Hunk for The Hussies, you're going to be seeing a lot more of him, and get to learn all about him.

She Said, He Said Question from "Not getting any" in NM:
"I am totally into oral sex, but my boyfriend is not. Well, he's into having it done on him, but when it's his turn he makes excuses and even when he does it, he does it really bad. What can I do to make it more appealing for him and teach him how to do it?"

Ciana: He likes it having done on him??? Well, duh! Of course he's into being on the receiving end! And if he's making excuses NOT to indulge, maybe there's a simple reason and I have one sure fire way to test it out. It's called douche. Let's face it, clean is appealing. As to his technique, have you ever bothered to tell him what feels good? Sure it's not rocket science, but every woman has her hot buttons and if you don't tell him what yours are, how's he supposed to know? Let that inner Hussy out, honey. She's not shy about telling her man what feels good.

Scott: The first thing is to talk to him about it. Not in an argumentative or embarrassinge way, just let him know how you feel about the situation, and ask him why he does not like to go down on you. You both should be open and able to talk about what's wrong and find ways to solve the problem. Honestly he might not like to do it, because the aroma down there, on some women, is rather strong. Some men find it a turn off.

Another issue might be control. When he goes down on you, you are calling the shots, some men find this intimidating. When it comes to sex men like to think they know it all and are masters at it. Most times the apposite is true. He might be bad at giving you oral sex because he doesn't enjoy it, most people are better at things they enjoy.

Besides, we don't have one of our own, so sometimes we are completely clueless as to what makes you feel good. Should we rub soft or hard, play with the clit or insert something, spread the lips or not. I am not being chauvinistic, but everyone knows its too easy to bring a guy to orgasm. Women require more attention, skill, and ingenuity to achieve the same result and everyone woman is different. Some coaching is generally very helpful.

I have no trouble telling a woman how I like it, when her mouth is full. I find most women appreciate the tips.

Well, hussies, didn't I tell you. Gorgeous and smart. Are you in lust ... ahem, I mean Love, yet? Stay tuned for next's weeks column when Scott and Sally answer an imporant question for "Single and Scared in NY" about dating and getting naked.


If you'd like to ask a question of the Hunk and the Hussies, email us at AskUs@thehussies.us. If you'd like to email Scott, you can reach him via Scott@thehussies.us.


This is Ciana saying have a great weekend, thanks for visiting, and remember to let your inner Hussy out to play!

Thoughts of the day

First thoughts:

Sunday morning. One of my favorite times of the week. Sitting on the patio, listening to the birds sing, soaking up the early morning rays ...... recovering from a night of oh-so-much fun with the real Chase. Yeah, well you know that's got to be my first thought, eh? I mean, hey, I'm a red-blooded good ol' redneck gal. No way to go riding a ... uh, excuse me ... riding with a hunk on Saturday and not think about it the next morning.

And to answer the question you're probably asking. Oh my yes, does he ever know how to ride:)

Yesterday on the chat, someone asked what makes a HUNK, and if Chase really was one, aside from his looks. Since he was online, I wasn't about to post an answer to that. But now I can. Yep, he's the real deal. Handsome, built like a dream, sexy as hell without even trying and has the ability to make you feel like you're the only woman in the world. He listens to what you say, appreciates intelligence and humor, and has a good deal of those qualities himself. He may be a cowboy, but in this gal's opinion falls under the cowboy philosopher category.

If you want to know what his personality really is, check out my book Chase'n'Ana. The character of Chase was modeled after him.

Something new to think about:

Recently I had the chance to spend some time with noted pyschic and spiritual counselor Denise Toth. She's graciously offered to do a 1/2 hour reading for our grand prize winner of our contest celebrating the launch of the Hunks'n'Hussies. I'd like to tell you a little about Denise.

An ageless Italian beauty, Denise was was born in New York in 1952 and was raised with her identical twin and best friend, Deborah. From an early age, Deborah and Denise had an unparallel intuitive bond with each other. Like many twins, they connected mentally, spiritually and physically. Denise soon realized that her intuition was not only with Deborah but with others around her. At a young age, Denise began to communicate with those who had passed to other side. She would innocently speak of these individuals as well as past, present and future events. When Denise was 13, her Nanny Rose passed on and Denise’s connection to the spirit world intensified. Her family embraced her gift and encouraged her to heal and guide people who needed her help.

Denise began doing professional readings for family and friends and without real intention shifted her energy down a path of destiny…a path that God intended for her. Over the last 30 years, Denise has acted as a spiritual life coach for thousands of individuals from all over the world including doctors, writers, film makers, attorneys, psychiatrists, government officials, clergymen, investigators and police. She has been a guest on radio talk shows, assisted in police investigations, read for private parties and done past life regressions through prayer and meditation. Denise is happily married and a proud mother and grandmother.

Denise has served as not only a a psychic medium and spiritual coach, but has worked with government agencies and law enforcement, mental health professionals, teachers, writer, politicians, corporate and world leaders. She has inspired books, movies and has read for client the world over from all backgrounds and cultures.

Is she the real deal? Well, I can't tell you what she immediately told me about myself (some things a Hussy just has to keep to herself, you know), but yes, indeed. She IS the real deal.

And some lucky winner is going to find that out very soon :) Be sure to post a comment here on our blog after your reading, you lucky winner and let us know all about it.

Look for more about Denise in the May issue of Lady Jaided, the online magazine for today's sensual woman. (www.ladyjaided.com).

Final thoughts (for the moment)

Since my handsome cowboy just handed me a fresh mug of coffee and suggested a "morning ride", my mind has suddenly gone blank. Guess all of the blood headed south. So let me close for the moment with a wish for you all to have a glorious morning -- and a suggestion: if a hunky cowboy asks if you want to ride, a good hussy always answers Hell Yeah!!

Hussy hugs - Ciana
