I have spent a great deal of time thinking about how to introduce myself on these forums. I have already posted some pretty complete bios in other places on this site, most notable these two links if you haven’t already read them:

I thought I would try to do something different this time. I want to tell you a little bit more about myself, by telling you about the man that I find myself becoming more and more like as I get older.

Our hero’s name was Henry and he was born well before my time, way back in 1911, the son of a fair skinned red haired farmer of Irish descent. The family lived on an 80-acre clay hill farm located north of Jonesboro, Arkansas on what is now called Hasbrook Road. The family was not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination but they got along, Henry being the third born with 5 sisters and no brothers. They got along ok, that is, until the year he turned 11 in 1922 and his father Hurst caught pneumonia and passed away. You must remember this was not modern times and the safety nets society has in place now did not exist in those days. Their only means of survival and living was the very farm they lived on. Without the patriarch around to plow the fields and plant the crops, running of the farm fell to Henry, who at 11 years old with the help of his sisters when possible, kept the farm running all the way through the depression. As a matter of fact more than one of his sisters was heard to make the comment that they were so poor during that whole period that the times during the heart of the depression were no worse than any other time. But everyone survived and one by one the sisters all got married and left the farm to form their own families. Finally with the advent of the Roosevelt New Deal Programs and Social Security there was finally at least some relief for the family, and their very survival no longer depended on the farm completely.

At the outbreak of World War 2 our hero was disqualified from service, I believe the reason had something to do with having a hernia. Whatever the reason he did not actively serve in the military during the war but he did leave shortly after the outbreak of WWII and moved to California where he went to work in the aircraft defense plants around Los Angeles. With the money he made in the defense plants he was able to send money back home to help support his mother who had not remarried and was still living on the farm.

I believe it was probably during this time when he was living in California that he was exposed to a whole new world completely different from what he had left behind in Arkansas. Some of his sisters were even heard to say things along the lines of, “He got those crazy ideas when he was out there in California,” you must remember most of the sisters had still not been more than a hundred or so miles away from the place they were born and certainly nothing like the exposures he received in California.

You see Henry was what some people might call an eclectic man while others might call him an eccentric man. And in some ways they would both be right. By eclectic, he was a man with many and varied interests. In being eccentric, he did not feel any obligation to “be like the Jones’”, and he was always ready to march to the beat of his own drummer even if he didn’t think the “band” was “marching to the right beat.”

I would say the number one thing he valued above all else was honesty and integrity. You definitely did not want him to catch you in a lie, I don’t care who you were, and he held himself to this same standard. Not stealing anything, and always telling the truth were the two things he insisted that his children learn above all else.

As far as other interests Henry had, he was what would probably qualify as an expert in Herbal Pharmacology. He had grown up around the wild plants on the farm and the surrounding area, and after he grew up he continued his study of the medicinal value of different plants through books and study courses. He was also an expert in the human body’s use of vitamins, and the use of vitamin supplements to maintain a healthy body. One of his favorite books was one called “Back to Eden,” which was considered by many to be the “bible” of herbs. You must remember that the period of time we are talking about here the medical community was all saying that there was no medicinal value in any herbs, and you received ALL of the vitamins you need through the foods you eat every day. I believe science has finally in the last 20 years caught up with where Henry was 50 years ago.

There were other areas where he questioned the standard conventions of the day, such as his questioning of the true necessity of all of the medical procedures that were commonly performed at the time. He also questioned the relationship between doctors and the pharmaceutical companies. He believed that many times the doctors were prescribing unnecessary medications due in part to “rewards” given by the drug companies. And based upon things we have learned since then, a person could certainly be lead to believe that some there are some doctors with more in mind than the patients best interest when they are receiving trips to the Super Bowl from the big drug companies.

Another area where he could possibly be perceived as eccentric would be in his relationship with God. You see Henry was an extremely spiritual man, with a very close relationship with God, but he was NOT a very religious man. What I mean by this is that he definitely had a personal one on one relationship with God; as a matter of fact over his lifetime he wrote many beautiful and very uplifting spiritual songs that were published in several different gospel songbooks. The eccentric part was the fact that to the best of my knowledge, he was never actually the member of ANY church, and it was not because he was anti-social or anything of the sort. It was more to do with the fact that he had seen how “politics” could become mixed in with the spiritual in an organized church setting. And he just didn’t feel the need to have that kind of “interference” in his relationship with God. This did not mean that he never darkened the church doors, on the contrary, I would say Henry and his wife were in church almost every Sunday and several days in between. The unusual thing being that it was rarely the same church from one Sunday to the next. They traveled the state of Arkansas and surrounding states to anyplace that was having a singing. Henry had a passion for gospel music, whether it was his own, or someone else’s, and he would travel almost anywhere to be able to sing and socialize with like-minded people. As a matter of fact, when there was not a quartet singing or a singing convention going on, you would find them and some of their friends singing in the local nursing homes in the Jonesboro area.

Some other rather unconventional facts about him was that taught singing school and composed all of his music using what is known as shaped notes. The unusual thing about this is that for the last 75 years or so round notes have been the accepted standard, for most of the music industry. Fewer and fewer people use shaped notes, but they can be read in more ways than the round notes and some people just prefer to use them, Henry being one of these people.

The other unusual thing about his music was that he never played any musical instrument, but yet he was able to compose relatively complex multi-part vocal music. You can ask anyone who is familiar with composing music; someone who can write music without the use of an instrument to sound out the music is extremely unusual. As a matter of fact, he was able to use the Do Re Mi method and actually vocally sound the song out. Then using a standard pitch pipe he was able to determine what key best suited the particular song.

Eclectic or eccentric, to me it really doesn’t matter, because Henry, or as he was known to the world John Henry Lakey and to me as Dad, was in my opinion a man I can be proud to be like, and if someone tells me I am like him I will say, “Thank-you.” Yes Henry was my father, and I was his only child, and I truly believe he loved me more than any father could love his son. Did Dad have any faults? Absolutely, just like I have faults, but over all I would have to say he was a very good man who always tried to do what was right and I would like to think that in some ways I am very much like him.

Am I also eclectic and eccentric? Well probably so, sometimes I feel like a Jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. When I want to find out about something, I go and do the necessary research until I feel like I know everything I need to know about the subject. Not necessarily everything there is to know, but what I need to know. This brings up another gift my father passed on to me, an understanding that as long as I can read, I will never have to depend on anyone else to teach me. That is not to say he did not support education, on the contrary he was really disappointed when I dropped out of college to join the naval nuclear power program. But I guess that was just my way of being like him and going against the conventions that were set for me.

Eccentric? How much more eccentric can you get than selling the benefits of orgasm? That is not a USP (Unique Selling Proposition) that you are going to see from Wal-mart or anyone else. Cheryl asked me at one time how I think my dad would have felt about our business. I really do believe that my dad would have been 100% supportive of this business. After all, we are looking to improve people’s health and make them happier without the use of any dangerous and expensive drugs. There are NO documented ill effects from orgasm, but there are literally hundreds of documented benefits of orgasm. I like to think of Electric Sensations as being an “evangelist for the benefits of orgasm,” spreading the good news, and by the way we have the best machine made for receiving these benefits.

No Dad was never really famous, nor wealthy, but I would like to think that he passed on to me something much more valuable than fame or riches, that is a desire to do what I believe to be the right thing. Now this is not to say that what I believe to be the right thing will necessarily always be what society believes to be the right thing, but perhaps someday society will lose some of it’s shame when it comes to sex, sexuality, and sensuality and we will all be able to openly talk about “the essential need for human orgasm.”

Cheryl's Review of the New MiniG Sybian Attachment

When I found out there was a new version of the G-Max, I was very curious to see for myself if the Mini-G was better. My first and only experience with the G-Max had not been that great, it was just TOO BIG, so large in fact that there was no room for any rotations to stimulate my g-spot. I was really looking forward to trying out this new attachment for myself. When Dan and I had seen that it was now available, it took us just a few minutes to decide we were going to be ordering some the next time we ordered more attachments.

The new attachments finally arrived last week and Dan immediately took one of the new Mini-G’s out of the box and put it into my “toy drawer” next to our bed. We decided we would try it out this past Saturday night. When we got ready to get things warmed up on Saturday, Dan got the Sybian out and had put the flat top on it for me. I have to admit it, by the time I hopped up on the machine, I was ready for any kind of stimulation. LOL!! I was pretty warmed up to say the least. I was on the flat top for about 15 minutes, when I decided it was time for Dan to break out the Mini-G. I climbed on without any problems. It was a perfect fit for me. I don’t know if it was that it was smaller or the fact that at that point I was “ready” to take anything, but it went in with no problem. I slid right on it and it felt good. It is NOTHING like the old G-Max. Not only is it smaller than the G-Max, it has a better feel to it. It isn’t as hard as the old G. The rubber on the Mini-G is very flexible and tends give a better fit for me. While I was riding it, Dan said he was able to hear the attachment being “sucked in” by my vagina. I will say, it was feeling really good within a few minutes of me riding it. My entire clitoral and G-spot area inside my vagina was receiving all kinds of stimulation from this new “toy.” There is one huge difference between the Mini-G and G-Max for me. I am able to feel the rotations with the Mini-G that I was never able to feel with the G-Max. The G-Max is poorly designed for any kind of rotation action. It is just too big for it to move around inside the vagina. I was using both controls while I was using the Mini-G. Within another 10 to 15 minutes I was having an orgasm. I wanted to make sure I got my money’s worth, so to speak. LOL!! It felt really great and I had one of the BEST orgasms I’ve had in quite a while. I think if I had been able to stay on longer, I probably would have been able to make myself ejaculate (squirt). I felt like I had a “gush” of something coming out as I was climaxing.

I highly recommend this new attachment to all women who enjoy G-spot stimulation. This is one attachment that I will be using again. It is ranked as my second favorite Sybian attachment, right behind the Flat-Top. On a scale of 1 through 10, I give the Mini-G a 9!!!!
