The Hitachi Magic Wand

Hitachi Magic Wand

Hitachi Magic Wand

We’ve talked about the Hitachi Magic Wand before, but I don’t think we’ve ever really given it the attention it warrants.  I mean, this is THE vibrator that all other vibes inevitably are compared to before being deemed a lesser product!  If you google “Hitachi Magic Wand,” you’ll find legions of women who praise this toy.  It even has it’s own facebook and twitter accounts!  Of course, some of you many need a little more convincing, so I’ve done a little research for all of the skeptics out there.

While there’s no doubt women were using this to get off from the day they hit the department store shelves, the Hitachi owes a lot of it’s popularity to Betty Dodson.  She’s been a champion of women’s sexuality longer than I’ve been alive and basically responsible for teaching women to masturbate in America.  She’s so important to women owning their sexuality that I can imagine women 50 years from now visiting her hitachi shaped grave stone on some sort of pro-sex pilgrimage.  You can (and should) check out her website, but here’s a little excerpt about this vibe:

This vibrator is sold as an electric body massager. Although there are many electric vibrators on the market now, the Wand is my personal favorite. This sturdy and reliable machine is great for relaxing and soothing sore muscles throughout the entire body. The therapeutic vibrations bring a new supply of blood to any area being massaged including the genitals. Once I discovered how great this vibrator was for sexual pleasure, I started buying them by the case to share with the women in my original Bodysex groups. Since the early seventies I have recommended the Magic Wand without being paid for my endorsement.ninahartley

Of course, Betty Dodson is just one woman, so let me talk about one of my favorite porn stars, Nina Hartley.  She’s been in the adult industry since the early 80s and an advocate for women’s sexuality almost as long.  If you’ve seen any of her amazing instructional videos, I’m sure you will agree with me when I say that she’s a very knowledgeable women when it comes to getting off!  Well, Ms. Hartley is such a huge fan that she took the time to write a love letter to the Hitachi Magic Wand, describing it as “the durable workhorse of pleasure.”

If two women who have dedicated their lives to making sure every day ladies like myself have better sex swear by the Hitachi Magic Wand, who are we to question them!

Blowjob Simulator: Man’s Best Friend?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Hi guys.  Yes, as the title suggests, this one’s for you.  Many guys think that aside from love dolls, sex toys are the best friends of women everywhere.  Not so fast on that assessment; you may find out that a sex toy has your name all over it – figuratively speaking – and you can use more than just your hand when it’s happy time.

Enter the Blowjob Simulator.  Perhaps you don’t have a girlfriend (or boyfriend, if you will).  Or, your partner doesn’t dive below the belt.  It could be that you have, as some guys have been known to do, said something so obnoxious that the U.S.S. Hummer has been put in dry dock indefinitely.  A blow job is only a simulation away.

What once used to require dinner, a foot massage and a luxuriant bubble bath is now compressed into the joys of guy-like engineering in the form of the sufficiently guy designed sounding – Optimum Power Vibro Sucking Stroker.

“Vibrating soft touch stroker with superb sucking action. Penis enhancement while soothing vibrations are delivered throughout. High grade easy pump bulb. Multi-speed, turbo powered battery pack with LED increments. LID included for convenience.

Requires 4 AA batteries, not included.”

And while that blowjob simulator is definitely doing post graduate work at the University of Slobbery Knobbers, it isn’t your only choice.  That’s correct, you can rev the hot rod on some high octane replica lips as well.  Porn star Taylor Wane will tell you how much she’s enjoying your company while she keeps your piston firing.  Seriously.  We can’t make that up – you need to click here to see it.

It doesn’t take a doctor to tell you that giving the tonsils a wet willy is a great way to blow off some steam, but Ol’ Doc Joc thinks he’s created a vent that will let you blow.  Doc Joc’s Incredible Jack Off is just plain intense:

“Doc Jocs Incredible Jack-Off device is a vibrating wonder pump with a textured silicone sleeve that simulates oral sex. Requires 2 AA size batteries, not included.

The good Doc is there for when you have no uvula to knock around

The good Doc is there for when you have no uvula to knock around

Getting a great blowjob has never been so easy all you have to do is slide your cock into the pump and crank up the vibes for a totally orgasmic masturbation experience!”

What’s that? You say you really aren’t ALL THAT into blowjobs?  Well, why on earth would you want a blowjob simulator.  We understand.  Some guys are just nookie hounds – not that there’s anything wrong with that – and need something to simulate that feeling.  No problem.  Check out our complete line of masturbators for the sensation you want.

Or, you could just go straight for the Vagina, which rhymes with angina, which feels like a heart attack, which is what you’ll simulate when you get your hands on a little Fatty D!

“CyberSkin with Virtual Touch technology creates a soft pussy, with a tight opening and snug love tunnel. Innovative, realistic fleshy folds of skin. Gents can live out their Big Beautiful Woman fantasies.

Warning SERIOUS BOOM BOOM in this box

Warning SERIOUS BOOM BOOM in this box

Full pussy lips and snug ribbed love tunnel. Hand painted pink pussy. Soft, ample thighs unlike anything else on the market. Gents can let her be on top– at 7.8 pounds (124.8 oz.) she feels ultra realistic. Open ended love tunnel. Waterproof. Phthalate free.

9 x 9.5 x 4.5 (22.75 cm x 24 cm x 11.5 cm).”

Ok, we’re a little off our subject of blowjob simulators, but Ms. Flores is worth it!

So check out our Sex Toys for Men category, guys.  It’s a toys for the boys split, bordered by orgasms and a cute, curvy red head on the top!  And get your socks off, man, with these beauties, you don’t need traction!

What are you doing reading this line? You should be shopping for a blowjob simulator already!

DeLights! The Fun Factory Interview!

Friday, September 25th, 2009
Twister by Fun Factory

Twister by Fun Factory

Most of our readers have become familiar with the fun and exciting sex toys produced by Fun Factory.  From the cute little dolphins, to the whimsical bookworms “Paul and Paulina” and the ferocious “Tiger,” Fun Factory has a range of products to suit every taste and desire.  Vibrators and dildos are just the beginning of the fare.  Fun Factory also produces some of the most interesting cock rings on the market and their Smart Balls are user favorites.

We had the opportunity to meet Rudy (Marketing) and Memo (Business Development),  from Fun Factory at the AVN Novelty Expo in Los Angeles and They impressed us as much as Fun Factory’s great products have.  Apparently, everyone was impressed with the Fun Factory team, with AVN giving them an O Award for Overall Outstanding Product Design.  So we asked if they would be willing to talk with us about Fun Factory and their fun, sexy toys and they agreed.  We think you’ll have a better appreciation for this great company after this interview.

****

ST- First, congratulations again for the O Award.  It was obviously well deserved.  We constantly hear about how people appreciate the Fun Factory designs and the interesting take your company has on sex toys.  What goes into Fun Factory Designs?  Is there a team of people that work specifically on design, or is it a company-wide synergy that works with customers and outside designers?  Or is it something else?

Rudy – Thanks! We were delighted to win! It’s a mixture of all! For us, it’s all about functional and high design.  On one hand we do have many types of engineers on board including industrial/electrical and in the other extreme we conduct numerous and detailed focus groups with our end users which are all coordinated  and lead by our in house marketing and sales teams  who coordinate all the process.  Women’s input is essential when designing a functional, ergonomic and appealing product with a very fun design that is the signature of our company. As a fun point just as many women as men work in Fun Factory!

ST – While we’re on the subject of design, one of the things that we noticed is that Fun Factory always incorporates the highest quality (and safest) materials in sex toys.  We know that from a marketing standpoint, it is always better to incorporate safe materials.  Do those materials also allow you to work with more interesting designs that other materials wouldn’t support?

RK – Yes! Our medical grade silicone gives all our toys a nice touch and is also easier to manipulate into the fun designs that make it to production.  It is not as hard as some other plastics and rubbers, which helps us make our designs a reality.

ST – When your first name is Fun, you’re likely going to have a more whimsical take on things.  As we mentioned before, Fun Factory toys come in shapes consumers can’t find elsewhere, like the Merry Mermaid (which is more or less a rabbit design with a cool mythical twist).  How do consumers react to whimsical new designs?  Do these sell as well as more traditional shapes and styles that you offer?

Rudy – Customers already expect our products to be “not your typical” design. We have found that the highest acceptance is a semi-realistic with a “Fun” twist but even our more traditional shapes are different from the norm and sell just as well

THE Massively Popular Bandito

THE Massively Popular Bandito

ST – One thing is certain, if you entered the Bandito into a popularity contest in the Sextoys.com offices, you’d have another award.  Our experts love this toy and so do our friends.  Among the common comments is that the design is perfect for hitting all of the right spots.  Because each body is different, it surprised me that so many people had the same praise for it.  Do you have a testing team that works with new designs to try to maximize each toy’s effectiveness?

Rudy– Absolutely! Although each woman’s body is different, certain areas are “similar in locations”. Our testing teams are composed of different types of women  who give their specific feedback during the design process. Also, as mentioned before, silicone is not as stiff as other materials and is more pliable which accommodates to different bodies

ST – Mechanically, Fun Factory designs are excellent and durable.  That durability makes toys last longer and therefore contribute less to waste.  Many of our customers ask about “green friendly” toys and how to play responsibly.  Your materials are environmentally friendly. We also know that you have rechargeable toys like the “DeLight” in your inventory.  Is this an area that the company is looking to expand in, or is the market demand still relatively low for rechargeable and green sex toys?

Memo Definitely! Eco-Friendly is the way to go! Even though demand might be small in the US compared to Europe, it is only the beginning and will grow as more current users and new younger generations are aware of the need for environmental friendly products in all industries, not only adult.  I can tell you that the demand for the rechargeable DeLight keeps on growing as part of this trend! Fun Factory already uses packaging material that can be recycled and is constantly revising manufacturing processes to exceed minimum environmental standards. However there is more  to come in the near future…

ST – To this point, we’ve asked about what is already out.  Now we’d like to ask about what will be coming along.  Are there new designs coming soon that you’d like to share with our readers?

Memo – We are launching the new, very cool and portable microVIBES FLY which incorporates the Fun Factory design and quality, ideal for women on the go , and as a discreet all occasion present!   The price point is excellent in these tough economic times without sacrificing the Fun Factory high quality and design. We also have some great new technological advances coming soon… but  I am sworn to secrecy for the moment!

Ginger Leigh has the inside scoop on the microVIBES in her post today! Click Here for Details!

ST – We really appreciate your time and energy, as much as we appreciate the great products that you provide.  Finally, is there anything we haven’t discussed that you’d like to add?

Memo – I want to share some of the philosophy that guides our company. We believe that Fun Factory products are proof that erotic toys can be tasteful, cheerful and high value at the same time. By means of the aesthetic shapes and fun loving designs, we would like to help reduce inhibition thresholds and prejudices in order to facilitate acceptance and access of erotic toys for women and men. Each Fun Factory toy is a piece of craftsmanship!  Finally love yourself! We believe only those who love themselves can give love!

Explore Fantasy with Light Bondage

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Dull, dull, dull, dull; your adult play time has fallen into a rut and it can’t get up.  You want to have some fun, but you’re not sure where to begin.  You could experiment with new kinds of sexual activity.  You could even throw in some kinky fun.  But the kinky thing does concern you a bit.  After all, you aren’t ready for a stockade, shackles, a spreader bar and a bull whip.

Those who want a whip should click this picture

Those who want a whip should click this picture

Going back to our largest sex organ – the brain – we can figure out that our adventurous new sex life needs a little fantasy.  Throwing in a few light bondage toys can bring the fantasy to life without pain, discomfort or too much intensity.

First, what’s the deal with bondage?  Bondage in the usual sense is a part of dominance and submission play.  A submissive agrees to being bound, strictly for the dominant’s pleasure.  But as a part of adult fantasy play, bondage can allow you to explore all kinds of scenarios.

Maybe you want your partner to become the marauding pirate who ties you up and ravishes you.  Or, your partner can be the stranger who seduced you.  Or maybe you could even submit to bondage to excite your partner and show her or him who the boss really is!

Whatever your pleasure, a wide variety of light bondage equipment is available to turn your fantasy into an erotic, exciting adventure.  And when most people think of bondage, the first thing that comes to mind is handcuffs.  Regular metal handcuffs can be dreadfully uncomfortable.  So, why not get some comfortable cuffs for fantasy play?

Zebra Fur Handcuffs

Zebra Fur Handcuffs

The Zebra Fur Handcuffs are a great option for fun light bondage:

“Get your funky fetish fix with these zebra print fur handcuffs. These padded cuffs won’t irritate your skin with the feel of cold steel, but they’ll keep you in your place, locked up!

Equipped with a quick release mechanism, these cuffs let you off the hook fast when play time is up. They also come with two separate keys, good for accidents and forgetful moments when one key might be lost.”

Handcuffs are only the beginning of the adult play opportunities.  You might want to consider just how kinky you’d like things to get.  If you’re feeling really adventurous, you could try some other ideas.  Bondage Kits are an easy way to get maximum usage of your fantasy imagination.

Why not take your cue from a star? Belladonna’s Bondage Kit is a great choice for people who want to experiment:

“When Belladonna goes out, she goes out in style!!! Presenting Belladonna’s special adventure kit. With real leather, adjustable buckles and the quality construction Doc Johnson is famous for. Get your kit today and see how Belladonna rolls.

Belladonna's Bondage Kitbuy_it_now
Kit includes: Pink leather cuffs with adjustable buckles. Soft ball-gag with adjustable leather strap, Pink G-spot vibe (Waterproof, velvet-touch.)”

One of the reasons we chose to show you this product is because it includes a vibrator.  Don’t forget your old reliables when you are experimenting!

The idea is to get your adult play time into new and exciting fantasies.  The more adventurous can check out our complete fetish sex toy selection.  But if you’re new to fetish play, light bondage toys can add a new thrill to your sex life.  Go ahead, get tied up and enjoy!

Great Glass Dildos by Phallix

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009
Phallix Glass Dildo

Phallix Glass Dildo

I’ve talked about the amazingness of glass toys before, so you know I love them! They’re non-porous, phthalate-free and great for temperature play. Because I’m such a big fan, I can’t tell you how excited I am that we are now offering Phallix wands on sextoys.com!

Phallix toys are definitely top of the line. They are 100% hand blow out of medical grade pyrex glass. As gorgeous as they are effective, the company describes them as functional erotic glass art and as a proud owner, I have to say I agree. Phallix glass dildos are tempered for high durability and will last a lifetime with proper care. One of my favorite things is that they are dishwasher safe, so you can easily sterilize these gorgeous dildos for safe sharing.

I’m sure some of you are a bit wary about a wand made out of a material many of us think of as being extremely fragile, but Phallix addresses this on their website: A properly annealed inch thick piece of borosilicate will withstand up to 3,000 lbs of pressure and extreme heat and cold. That’s right, these toys can take up to a ton and a half of pressure. No matter how many kegels you do daily, you should be fine!

Love Wand

You’ll find a wide variety of toys, including plugs, double ended toys and super textured wands.  If you love lots of bumps, you should check out the Blue Ribbed Love Wand shown here.

7 x 1 long clear, straight, navy blue ribbed shaft with both knobbed and tapered heads. Available in 1 diameter, blue ribs are randomly placed and add approx 3/16 to the shaft.

Our testers love all of the Phallix Glass products. They feel much smoother than plastic or acrylic toys and the nice thing about glass is that it holds the temperature of what ever it’s in. You can put some warm water in a plastic cup and sit it to the side, after a few minutes it will take on the temp. of the water. When you are ready to use it just take it out, lube it up go. Ice water works well too!

Phallix is High Quality, Medical Grade Pyrex Glass. 100% Safe, Hypoallergenic & often recommended by doctors. All Phallix glass dildos are tempered for high durability and will last a lifetime. Colors won’t fade or bleed on our glass dildos

While Phallix toys are a bit pricey, you should remember that you’re buying a lifetime of safe and sexy play!

Using Sex Furniture Can Make Sex Better

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Sometimes, spicing up adult play can be as simple as a new position.  And the experimental types among us know that many angles are not nearly as easy to achieve as they look in the photo!  Also, some approaches facilitate easier (and better) access to sensitive spots.  But what if you’ve tried and tried, and just can’t get in THAT position.

That’s where an investment in sex furniture can make a great difference in your sex life.  A good product can make it possible for you to get in the positions that weren’t previously possible.  Like Liberator says, “It’s time to teach your old doggie-style some new tricks.”

We should tell you that like regular furniture, sex furniture varies in quality.  Good sex furniture will last longer than cheaper knock offs, and good sex furniture will perform better than the lower quality items.  If you buy an inflatable product, you will have the problems associated with inflatable products.  While you may save a few bucks up front, your long term return won’t be nearly as good as you would get from a solid sex furniture product.

The Liberator Ramp

The Liberator Ramp

Take the Liberator Ramp as a good example of high quality sex furniture:

“Liberator Ramp offers support with a deep slope elevation. It strategically lifts your lover’s hips to an altitude of 12 inches, offering access at critical angles that accentuate sensitivity.

It’s time to teach your old doggie-style some new tricks. The key to perfect rear-entry penetration is supported elevation. Supported elevation prevents falling forward, slipping, sore elbows and wrists and hips buried in the mattress.

With Ramp a couple can sustain the doggie-style position for longer, more satisfying sessions. Other Ramp specialties include positions off the side of the bed and an unbeatable girl-on-top ride.”

And let’s focus for a moment on a sensitive issue.  Some people have been injured, have chronic back or arthritis problems, or are physically incapable for whatever reason, of getting into a pleasurable sex position.  Good sex furniture can give those people their sex lives back.

Consider the Liberator Scoop, which can put someone in the perfect position, which includes almost any position you can imagine:

“Tilt it, tip it, dip it, flip it. The most dynamic of the Liberator line, the Scoop makes its own love locomotion, rocking you into action-packed, thrill-ride climaxes.

Flip it for a more stable sex setting and superior spinal support. As athletic or anchored as you like. Add other shapes for extra height, slope and support.

The Liberator Scoop

What’s Included: Scoop, dressed to thrill in a machine washable Microfiber cover as well as a silky nylon water-resistant play surface. Scoop-centric position guide to spark and inspire desire.< Black, nylon gig bag for luvin’ on the go.

Please note that Liberator products can only be shipped within the continental United States and cannot be shipped to military addresses.”

Think about what you’ve spent on your couch, your lamps, your coffee table, your bookshelves and even your dining room furniture.  Unless you are a seriously kinky sort (who wouldn’t need any help anyway), none of those things will ever provide the intense orgasm that a good piece of sex furniture can help you to achieve.  A small investment in a good piece of sex furniture can change your life.

And we mean for the better!

Explore Your G-Spot With Great Toys

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009
Lelo's Gigi

Lelo's Gigi

Monday’s post about G-Spot stimulation is a really a great primer for those of you who wonder about the magical spot touted by Dr. Grafenberg so many years ago.  While I’m no scientist, I can tell you that I love g-spot stim and most of my favorite toys are designed for it.  While all of my favorites can be found in our new G Spot Sex Toys category, I thought I’d highlight a few today and explain exactly why I love them so much!

First up is Lelo’s Gigi – the ultimate G-spot vibe in my book.  It’s curve fits my body perfectly and is sure to rock my world when inserted, but it’s also great for clitoral stimulation for those of you who prefer external toys.  Like all of my favorite toys, it’s made from a body safe material, in this case silicone, so I don’t have to worry about nasty phthalates.  If you’ve ever run turned on a vibe to find the batteries are running out of juice, you’ll also be happy to hear that the Gigi is rechargeable.  For those of you who are looking for something that doesn’t vibrate or is a little cheaper, Lelo also makes a dildo that with the same shape – The Ella.  It’s equally amazing, especially when paired with a bullet vibe!

Another toy that stimulates the g-spot that I really can’t live without is the We Vibe.  This one isn’t all about g-spot stim though – it’s innovative design manages to stimulate it and the clit during penetration.  It’s absolutely amazing and I really wish that every woman in the world would open their front door to find a package with this vibe in it on their doorsteps.  The world would be a better place.  It’s also made out of silicone and rechargeable.

Lovemoiselle's Aveline

Lovemoiselle's Aveline

Finally, I would be remiss to not talk about the Aveline dildo by Lovemoiselle.  This is the only ceramic toy that I own, but I will definitely look to right that wrong in the future.  The Aveline is a little heavier than a lot of my toys and as smooth as glass.  The extra weight helps to guide the angled head towards your g-spot and ceramaic is truly a divine material for penetration.  If you’re looking for a gorgeous toy that’s definitely unique, this one might be for you.

In the end, your pleasure is what’s important when it comes to picking out sex toys.  While these g-spot toys are some of my favorites, only you know what’s really going to get you off.  And regarding g-spot naysayers, I think our experts hit the nail on the head in this post:

Let’s say for the sake of discussion that someone scientifically proves that the G Spot is a myth.  If you achieve intense orgasms by stimulating the area one to three inches inside on the vagina’s upper wall, does it matter?  Learning what works for you is an art, not a science.

If you’ re interested in exploring g-spot stim, we recommend you start by checking out the cream of the crop when it comes to g-spot toys in our new For Women category.

The G Spot Revisited

Monday, September 14th, 2009
This is a G Spot sex toy

This is a G Spot sex toy

So the debate rages on about whether or not the G Spot exists.  From our standpoint, while the empirical data may be less than overwhelming, the number of G Spot sex toys that are manufactured and sold make a solid practical argument that someone is getting stimulation from the area Dr. Grafenberg first discussed. But once in a while, it’s good to look at recent discussions on the subject, especially if you want to experiment with this popular form of stimulation.

A recent article contained this sentence as its thesis: “Unlike men, women can orgasm in many different ways.”  It then went on to list different anatomical features like, clitoris, vagina and G Spot.  People who have read our work know that the article was then tossed aside.  The reason?  The clitoris and G Spot (such as it is considered to exist) are parts of the vagina!  Why go through all of the complex possible permutations when one fact stands out?  That fact is that each person finds a specific stimulation satisfying and can achieve orgasm through it.

Of all of the big mistakes a person can make, over-complicating sexual sensations is one of the biggest that can damage adult play time fun.

WebMD has a great section on this subject, which we think summarizes the argument over the G Spot very well:

“Prosterman and others point out the importance of thinking of the G-spot in context — that it may be an extension of the clitoral anatomy, which extends back into the vaginal canal. Kerner writes that the G-spot may be ‘nothing more than the roots of the clitoris crisscrossing the urethral sponge.’

Helen O’Connell, MD, head of the neurourology and continence unit at the Royal Melbourne Hospital Department of Urology in Australia, says, ‘The G-spot has a lot in common with Freud’s idea of vaginal orgasms. It is a sexual concept, this time anatomical, that results in confusion and has resulted in the misconception that female sexuality is extremely complex.’”

The article also contains this:

A G Spot sex toy for couples

A G Spot sex toy for couples

“In the end, whether this debated locus of pleasure is fact or fiction may not matter that much. O’Connell, who is also co-author of a 2005 Journal of Urology study on the anatomy of the clitoris, says that focusing on the G-spot to the exclusion of the rest of a woman’s body is ‘a bit like stimulating a guy’s testicles without touching the penis and expecting an orgasm to occur just because love is present.’ She says focusing on the inside of the vagina to the exclusion of the clitoris is ‘unlikely to bring about orgasm. It is best to think of the clitoris, urethra, and vagina as one unit because they are intimately related.’”

Ok, so what is the G Spot and where is it?  The G Spot is an area which many women claim, if stimulated properly, can lead to intense orgasm.  What it is, we aren’t qualified to say, though the base of the clitoris sounds like a good guess, since the clitoris can have a shaft of one to three inches and the G Spot is generally agreed to be located two to three inches inside the vagina on the upper wall.

Do you have a G Spot?  That’s the question that you must answer.  Experimenting with sensations is a great way to see whether or not this area adds something more to your orgasm experience.  As we mentioned before, there are many quality G Spot sex toys designed to create that type of stimulation.

Let’s say for the sake of discussion that someone scientifically proves that the G Spot is a myth.  If you achieve intense orgasms by stimulating the area one to three inches inside on the vagina’s upper wall, does it matter?  Learning what works for you is an art, not a science.

So enjoy your next orgasm, wherever you find it.  And don’t be afraid to experiment.  Why should you be, it isn’t exactly a science!

Fact and Myths About Penis Extension

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Plenty of men use penis pumps and penis extenders, and we sell them.  But you want to make sure you are using them for the right reasons.  So we’re giving you some background to help you do just that.  If you think of penis extension as a tool, or a method to add fun to your adult play time, you’ll be on your way to a bedroom full of fun.

Many guys spend a great deal of time worried about the size of their penis.  And there are plenty of articles around the internet that debunk these concerns.  For instance, I could do a “show of hands” or drop a “YES” in our comments to women on theoretical “Guy A.”  Ok, ladies, “Guy A” is average to good looking, has a stable job, doesn’t whine or complain, brings his girlfriend flowers for no particular reason, knows how to give incredible neck, shoulder, back and foot massages, listens patiently, kisses passionately and has a four and a half to six inch long (which is the global average – source) penis.  Anyone interested in him?

Colt Vacuum Pump is for FUN

Colt Vacuum Pump is for FUN

Now, most articles leave it at that.  I’m not going to dismiss your concerns that way.  The fact is that the study in the journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity, sourced above as used in Everyday Health, goes on to add this interesting scope of information:

“In the same study of more than 52,000 participants — men and women — 45 percent of men reported that they were unsatisfied with their penis size and wanted to be larger. Compare that figure to the 16 percent who actually are shorter than average. And the perception didn’t change with age, either — about the same number of older men were unhappy with their penis size as were younger guys.

These concerns of inadequacy have consequences. Men who believed their penis size was too small were less likely to undress in front of their partner, more likely to hide their penis during sex, and more likely to judge themselves unattractive. On the other hand, men who thought they had a large penis were likely to be more self-confident and believe themselves to be attractive. Interestingly, 84 percent of the women surveyed reported that they were satisfied with their partner’s penis size. So it’s not her problem, guys — it’s yours.”

And let’s face fact here, it IS a problem.  If a guy believes that his penis isn’t adequate, that feeling of inadequacy can stretch across a range of psychological and social settings, affecting the quality of his life.  So it is important to address those feelings, because (and you’ll find it odd for a sex toy company to say this) we aren’t aware of anything that will add a permanent 3 – 5 inches to your penis length.

And we’d be lying if we told you we thought it was possible.  If you feel a sense of inadequacy, we strongly suggest that you seek out a licensed clinical professional to help you work through your feelings and get you on the road to a happier life.  But the good news is that doesn’t mean that you have to toss out the idea of having fun with size adding sex toys!

Penis Pumps:

We usually add this disclaimer to penis pumps: “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 cannot guarantee or be responsible for any results.”  That’s because a penis pump isn’t designed to add permanent size!

But, oh boy, can they add some incredible sensation, temporary engorgement (which really heightens sensitivity for many), and downright pleasurable fun to your play time.  If you use a pump with a sleeve, you basically have a stand alone masturbator that is perfect for solo play.  Or you can use pumps to add sensation to partnered play.  The point is that a penis pump is a penis extender in a small way, but you’ll get more out of your penis pump if you think of it as a sex toy to enhance your adult play time.

Penis Extenders:

Penis extenders are extraordinarily popular sex toys.  Guys in “the know” realize that a penis extender has nothing to do with “bulking up their penis.”  To the contrary, a penis extender is best utilized to bring awesome sensation and stimulation to their partner.  Sure, a penis extender can add length.  But remember that some are designed to add girth and texture as well.

The point is, the penis extender is all about pleasing your partner, not trying to bulk up your package.  You can use it to get extra pressure on your partner’s G Spot, use one to add a wildly different texture to your penis, or just use one to turn your body into a sex toy!  The penis extender isn’t designed to “cover up” for inadequacy.  It’s designed to turn your penis into a playground for you and your partner!

Now, those who have read the blog before know that we ALWAYS remind you that if you are experiencing erectile dysfunction, we strongly advise you to see a doctor, since this can be a symptom of a larger medical problem.  And as we mentioned before, if you worry constantly about penis size, see a licensed professional to address your feelings.  It will be better for you in the long run.

But if you want a downright awesome time with your adult play and want to make your penis the center of attention (which doesn’t sound like a bad deal), use a penis pump or penis extender to change things up from time to time.  But make sure you discuss it with your partner!  Size does matter if you break out an extender that is way too large.

Have fun, and we hope this helps to clear up questions you may have had.  If you have specific questions about a product, always remember to Ask an Expert for more assistance.
