Screaming O Celebrating Halloween From Coast to Coast

The Screaming O and its Scream Team is hosting some spook-tacular, VIP and costume-required (but clothing optional) Halloween parties that will offer some real treats to adult party-goers. With contests, giveaways, and the prettiest "ghouls" in town, The Screaming O is making All Hallow's Eve so sexy, it's scary.

From New York to Las Vegas, and Tampa, Fla. to the heart of Hollywood, Calif., the Scream Team will turn into vamps and vixens as they party the night away at the hottest clubs in the country.

"The Scream Team gets invited to more and more parties every Halloween and this year we couldn't bear not to RSVP to every single one," The Screaming O partner Keith Caggiano said. "The Screaming O truly is sweeping the nation to turn this holiday into a special ScreamOween showcase!"

In Hollywood, Calif. on Oct. 29, The Screaming O is taking its lucky ScreamOween contest winner around the city VIP-style in a stretch limo to show him what life in the spotlight really feels like. With a Scream Team girl on each arm, he'll first head to The Colony, where The Screaming O is hosting its first bash during the club's famous God's Kitchen night. There the Duffle Divas will DJ and model/actress Jessica Hall will host and party with scantily clad go-go dancers and Scream Team girls sporting the craziest costumes in Tinseltown.

The Colony is located at 1743 North Cahuenga Blvd. in Hollywood, Calif.

A few blocks away The Screaming O has another stake in Hollywood's Halloween weekend at Ecco Lounge for the 18th Annual Heaven and Hell Halloween gala, where the city's in-the-know club-goers will glitter with the celebrity elite and more than a few of the adult industry's hottest starlets.

Also on Oct. 29 is an adults-only afterparty for annual Tampa, Fla., staple Guavaween, at Déjà Vu Gentlemen's Club where the sexy, naughty and scary costumes might come off as the night goes on.

Dirty Gums Linked to Erectile Dysfunction

If you see Hugh Hefner hawking a tube of Crest toothpaste, maybe this is why: A new study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that periodontitis, a chronic infection of the gums and the main source of bad breath, may cause erectile dysfunction.

Researchers at China’s Luzhou Medical College noticed that rats with periodontitis had less of the enzyme eNOS, which is involved in achieving an erection. The study supports past research that shows gum disease is more common in guys with ED than men without it.

OK, so leaving the heat of the moment to grab your toothbrush might be subtler than popping a little blue pill. But is there really a connection between your mouth and your penis?

Maybe, maybe not. “Since periodontal disease is considered an inflammatory disorder, it may play a role in the progression of ED,” says Leonard G. Gomella, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Urology at Thomas Jefferson University. More research of human inflammatory issues is needed to better understand any association between periodontal and penile health.

Or, the disease may just be a marker for other issues previously linked to ED, like poor nutrition, diabetes, and heart disease, according to Donald S. Clem, DSS, president of the American Academy of Periodontology.

Regardless, don’t be so stiff when it comes to a clean mouth. If untreated, gum disease could lead to tooth loss—not exactly a turn-on. Your first line of defense: Twice-yearly dentist visits.

Want to beat bad breath for good? Gargle with nature’s mouthwash: green tea. Researchers at the University of British Columbia tested different strategies for eliminating bad breath and found that green tea was most effective at wiping out the germs and the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) that cause stench mouth. (Guess what: Chewing gum and mints actually increased the amount of VSCs.)

While green-tea supplements were used in the study, iced green tea, like the bottled kind made by Arizona and Honest Tea, also contains some of the key odor-neutralizing antioxidants called catechins; just make sure you swish it around before swallowing.
