Best Stimulus Spending Idea Ever!

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

German Rabbit vibe

I’m not sure if there’s a penny of Obama’s stimulus money to spare, but I’d like to suggest we take a cue from Germany and offer consumers cold hard cash in exchange for their phthalate sex toys!

According to the AustrianTimes.com, health officials in Germany recognize the dangers of phthlates and are offering 40 GPB to people who turn in their old vibes.

“These old plastics are now banned in children’s toys and surgical instruments. Hopefully this is a deal that will leave everyone smiling,” said one health worker.

This sounds like a brilliant idea to me – why not kick start the economy and our nation’s bedrooms at the same time?

Great Sex at 80?

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

It’s possible to have a fulfilling sex life, well beyond ages many people would guess.  The secret seems to lie in maintaining a healthy attitude.  Several journals have published articles on aging and sexuality, and most note that maintaining physical health, keeping active and having a positive attitude about one’s sexuality.  Of course, that isn’t easy.

As Discover Online points out, pressure and anxiety can cause problems:

“In reality—as anyone in a relationship knows—desire and satisfaction are moving targets, adjusting to shifting circumstances.

Today perhaps the most consistent attitude toward perfect sex is anxiety about why we are not getting it. “We are susceptible to being convinced that whatever sex is going on in our lives is just not good enough,” says Julia Heiman, director of the Kinsey Institute and a professor of psychology at Indiana University. Marketing that preys on our feelings of insecurity is an old business, she notes, but pharmaceutical research is changing the nature of that business. “Suddenly medicine—which we’ve always taken to do something for a problem—is getting involved in pure enhancement, which is more like cosmetics,” Heiman says.”

So that positive attitude will require readjusting our ideas about what we, and our partners, expect.  Obviously, you won’t find many 80 year old supermodels or bodybuilders.  But that’s just the point.  Maintaining healthy expectations and viewing ourselves in a relevant context can lead to perfectly satisfying sex.  All we have to do is focus on the positive, and the fun will take care of itself.

And as we’ve mentioned before, a little spice can always make things more fun.  Check out our sex toys for couples to see what you can add to your next play time.

Featured Product: Magnum Pump

Magnum Pump

Magnum Pump

When you get a pump with a pressure gauge, you know that pump means business.  And the Magnum Pump is that kind of pump, with a businesslike look and a powerful feel.  From Doc Johnson:

“High quality clear acrylic cylinder Comfortable grip design High quality pressure gauge Clear flexible hose Rubber sheath opening for added suction and comfort.”

We always add:

Some men swear by the use of pumps as effective tools for increasing size, while others think pumps have no lasting effect. Pumps can extend length while using, but the question is, will the penis return to original size after using? Unfortunately we do not have that answer and can not guarantee or be responsible for any results.

Give it a try and you might see some new sizes for your efforts.

Ginger Leigh’s Wish List: grrl toyz Jumbo Waterproof Bullet

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Today’s addition to my Wish List is the grrl toyz Jumbo Waterproof Bullet by Topco.  I love bullets!

Bullet vibrators are definitely one of my favorite types of vibrators.  They are simple and always get the job done right.  The shape of the bullet gives my favorite pressure points the love and attention they need.  With a Jumbo Bullet, I can cover more surface area.  This is right up my alley!

Waterproof?  Yes!  Get out of the way rubber duckie, this super sized bullet is about to make bath time lots of fun.  I fear I may look like a 90 year old lady who has spent far too much time drinking mai tais on the beach in South Florida by the time I get out of the tub.  I am going to need a jumbo water heater to go with my Jumbo Waterproof Bullet.  Wrinkled skin won’t stop my bathing-with-the-big-bullet fun, but cold water would really put a damper on my alone time.
 
This vibrator has a dial control, so no chords!   Wires and the like make me feel like a dolphin trapped in a net when attached to sex toys.  Batteries are included.  Of course they will have to be replaced eventually, but how great will it be use this toy as soon as I get it?  It will be pretty great in case you were wondering. Also, phthalates free!  I like keeping my precious parts safe from evil substances.

Hmm, a mai tai sounds good right about now.

Anal Vibrators: Variety and Power

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Anal vibrators are among the most varied category of sex toys available.  From butt plugs, anal T’s, probes, and beads, to simple anal dildo designs, anal vibrators come in a variety of shapes.  They also come in a variety of sizes, textures and colors.  Those people who appreciate anal stimulation will find an anal vibrator that will suit their desires.

Vibrating Butt Plugs:

Vibrating butt plugs are almost identical to normal butt plugs, with the exception that they come equiped with an internal motor that causes them to vibrate.  The motor is usually placed near the core of the butt plug, and it leads to vibrations across the surface of the plug.  Vibrating butt plugs can be built with smooth surfaces, or with varied textures like ripples or ridges.

Anal T’s:

Anal T’s get their name from their upside down T shaped appearance.  They are designed with a slight angle to facilitate ease of insertion, and can stimulate the prostate.  The T extensions serve to prevent the sex toy from entering completely into the rectum.  This adds a degree of safety to their use.  Anal T’s are most commonly contructed with plastic and have smooth surfaces.

Probes:

Anal probes are similar to dildo’s, but are generally long and smooth, designed to intensify penetration.  They can either come with a flared base, or with a handle for use with a partner.  They are made from a variety of materials and come in many sizes and colors.

Beads:

Anal beads are essentially a string of beads.  A vibrating set of annal beads will not be connected by string, but rather with the primary material from which the toy is constructed.  This allows vibrations to travel along the length of the beads without disruption.  Anal beads come in many shapes and sizes and have many colors from which to choose.

Dildos:

Vibrating anal dildos are the same as a regular vibrating dildo, except that they are designed for anal play.  Be aware that some manufacturers list vibrating dildos as suitable for anal play, but the dildo is designed without a flared base or retrieval mechanism.  We do not recommend using a dildo without a flared base or retrieval mechanism for anal play.  These anal vibrating dildos come in a variety of shapes, sizes, textures and colors.

As always with anal toys, we suggest generous amounts of water based lubes.  And remember to use a condom if your anal toy has a porous surface, to make cleanup easier.  Finding the right anal vibrator is fairly easy when you have so many options.  The best bet is to pick your favorite anal toy and find a similar vibrating version.  You should be pleased with the extra stimulation.

Researchers Seeking Used Condoms

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

That’s a headline I didn’t expect to write on a Wednesday morning.  But researchers at the University of Windsor are looking for used condoms to complete a study.  From the full article at The Windsor Star:

Durex Performax

Durex Performax

“Lab tests conducted by manufacturers suggest condoms are durable and efficient at preventing diseases and pregnancies, but local researchers want to gauge the effects of real life “bedroom stresses” on the effectiveness of rubbers.

‘This is a serious public health issue,’ said sociology professor Eleanor Maticka-Tyndale, Canada research chair in social justice and sexual health. ‘We suspect the actual failure rate may be much higher than in lab situations.’”

Of course, we always suggest using a condom for safe sex.  And we hope that this study will help to make them even safer.  It makes sense to see how a condom actually performs under real life stresses.  This should aid the manufacturers in making the safest products possible.
