I have a lot to be thankful for in my life. In honor of turkey day, I thought I’d go ahead and make a list of the five sex toys that have rocked my world. This isn’t really a list of my five favorite toys today, although you’ll find a couple on here, but a list of those that have enabled my girl and I to explore new sexual realms and experience insane pleasure while bringing us closer!

The Little Flirt

1. Little Flirt – This is the first anal toy I ever used and let me just say it opened the door to all sorts of fun. It’s great for beginners because of the small size and the fact that it’s made out of silicone, so it’s safe and can be sterilized!  I feel super lucky to have started off with such an amazing toy.

2. Mia – I friggin’ love this little guy. While it’s not the most powerful vibe in the world, it’s a must have for women like me that travel a lot. It’s totally discreet, charges via the USB port on your computer and is perfect for a quick O before heading out to woo a potential client! I love having a dependable vibe that doesn’t raise too many eyebrows at airport security.

3. Under the Bed Restraints – Another item that introduced my partner and I to a whole new world of play. While we’ve moved on to more elaborate forms of restraint, we still keep these tucked under our mattress in case the mood strikes. There’s nothing like tying your girl up and teasing her until she begs for more. I recommend these to a ton of people and have never heard any complaints!

4.  Pjur Basic Lube – Lube is basically my best friend and this is the one I use the most. Of course, I have a shoe box full of lubricant for all sorts of different situations, but this is the one I rely on most often. Lube is love, my friends!

5. Ella – I love g-spot stim and this is one of my favorite toys for it. While I still think that the Pjur Wand is the ultimate g-spotter, I love this one because it’s super cheap, really well made and the design works so well with my body. I love being able to recommend a toy to my friends that will rock their world without emptying their wallets !

While I realize that there are more important thing to be thankful for like family and friends, there’s no doubt that a good sex life is part of a satisfying life! It’s actually been pretty interesting to look at my own sexual history through the toys I’ve experimented with over the years and hopefully my experiences can help others get it on!

The day after Thanksgiving is a great day to linger in bed and relax as your body recovers from that extra piece of pie you couldn’t say no to. It’s also a great day to make like a turkey and get stuffed and there’s no better dildo for those of you who like girth than Vixen Creations’ Randy.

The Randy is great for those who love a nice, thick dildo that isn’t uncomfortably long. This short and stout silicone lover will rock your world with a semi-realistic design and flared base for anal and strap on enjoyment.

Made with Vixen Creations special Vixskin finish, the dual density shaft is firm in the center and plushy soft on the outside. Silicone is body-friendly and can be washed with soap and water, or boiled to sterilize. Use only water-based lubricants with this toy for best results.

While Randy is just 6 inches long, the 2 1/8 inch wide girth will blow your mind! It’s great for solo play and absolutely perfect for strap-on sex. Plus, since it’s made out of silicone, you know that you’ll be able to enjoy this fat cock for years to come.

I’m pretty sure everyone in the world knows what a Love Doll is. They’re insanely popular for obvious reasons and have also achieved relative notoriety in the pop culture world as a site gag. Whether you’re looking for a lovely lady who never says no or a companion that’ll keep you cruising along in the carpool lane, having one of these toys around is a pretty great idea.

While a lot of you probably have an image in your head of a wide eyed plastic face with a big red cock-sucking mouth, there are a ton of options if you’re interested in picking up one of the inflatable friends. I thought I would highlight some of the more unique love dolls we offer, because you never when you’ll find yourself in need of a blow up billy goat!

One of my favorite items on sextoys.com, it’s also one of the most unique!  Whether you’re looking for something out of this world to sink your cock into, or a great gift for a friend who spends a little too much time obsessing about Star Trek, you can’t go wrong with the Area 51 Love Doll from Pipedream.

It’s the love doll they never wanted you to know about! For years they’ve locked it away, kept it classified and tried to prevent man from enjoying extraterrestrial pleasure.

Now you can experience what humans have fantasized about for decades…incredible sex with an alien! It’s pussy-shaped mouth, 3 supples breasts, suction cup fingers and ass-shaped ears make it the kinkiest love slave in the galaxy.

I love that the people at Pipedream saw a market for a travel sized Lovin’ Lamb Blow Up Doll.  Obviously, a regular sized lamb doll is just not going to cut it for today’s busy person.

Wooooooeeeee! You’ve just wrangled your very own Lovin’ Lamb! Any old time ewe’re in the mood for a roll in the hay, she’ll be yer barnyard babe!

Ewe’ll be singing E-I-E-I-OHHHH till the cows come home! The Lovin’ Lamb always satisfies and darn tootin` if she ain’t the life of the hootenanny!

While this one is definitely marketed towards the bachelor party/gag gift scene, I’m totally not here to judge!  I mean, what do I care if you want nothing more than to take on Lil Ho Peep and Her Sheep – that’s what fantasies are made for and we’re here to help you live out yours!

Bend Over Beginner Harness Kit

While the recession seems to be coming to an end, lots of people are still looking for a good bargain, so I thought I would highlight some of my favorite strap-on kits available. While you can obviously buy a separate harness and dildo, you can save a little money by picking up one of these high quality kits.

The Bend Over Beginner Harness Kit from Tantus is great for those of you who are new to strap-on play and unsure where to start. My favorite thing about it is that you get two medical grade silicone cocks to grow with!

The kit features a velvet harness which is comfortable, adjustable (fits up to 60 inch hips), and machine washable. It also comes with an O-ring that can be changed for play with larger dildos as well as a pocket built in that fits a bullet vibe (included). The pocket holds the vibrator in place and allows access to the controls throughout your strap-on experience.

The Bend Over Beginner Kit has two smooth 100% silicone dildos, 7/8 x 4-1/2 and 1-1/4 x 5-1/2 so you can pace your exploration with comfort and safety.

Another great kit is the Bikini Harness and Silicone Dildo Set from Sportsheets. It’s really great for women who want to wield a cock like a bad ass femme fatale because the cut is totally cute.

If you’re looking for a comfortable harness and an quality cock, you need to take a look at the Sportsheets’ Bikini Harness and Dildo Set. The adjustable black harness is built for comfort and accomodates up to a 52 inch waist. Also included is a body safe fuchsia silicone dildo that is non-porous and phthalate-free.

The dong is five inches long, with a 1.25 inch diameter and 4 inch circumference. The harness can be used with any dildo that has a diameter of 1.25 inches.

Of course, there are a ton of other great strap-on kits out there, but these are two I think are fantastic because they are well made and both come with phthalate-free silicone cocks that are sure to last a very long time.

We updated our Featured Products category quite frequently, so I thought I would highlight a couple of my favorites before they’re gone!

Let’s start by talking about one the the newer Tantus dildos – The Curve. I have a bunch of their dildos, but this one quickly became my favorite because of it’s harness compatible flared-base and g-spot pleasing curve.

The Curve is the first of a new line of Tantus(R) products to feature a wider base, enabling people to combine the versatility of harness play with the direct G-Spot stimulation all women crave.

Better still, the subtle angle of the Curve makes it ideal for anal or vaginal play, and the smooth silicone makes penetration a joy for men or women.

If you’re looking for something that’s both sexy and educational, why not pick up a copy of sexpert Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To The G Spot. Nobody does instructional porn like Ms. Taormino, so if you’re interested in exploring G-Spot play this is a great place to start.

Sex expert Tristan Taormino teaches a G-spot workshop for couples where she reviews female sexual anatomy, dispels myths about the G-spot, and offers explicit advice to improve and enhance G-spot stimulation.

With fingers and toys, co-hosts Donna and Sarah demonstrate various techniques as Tristan narrates; workshop participants watch and ask questions.

Delve into the world of G-spot orgasm with sex expert Tristan Taormino, and her sexy, demonstrating couples, as you learn, experience, and enjoy this unique form of pleasure… led by the experts who know it best.

Fall is quickly turning into winter and I say it’s time to heat things up in the bedroom before you fall victim to flannel pajamas for weeks at a time! One of the best ways to warm up is lots of naked time under the covers and if you’re looking for some additional heat, why not throw in some warming lube!

My new favorite is easily System JO’s H20 Warming lubricant. Besides being totally affordable, it works really well. Friction causes it to warm up, but not so much that you start to panic in fear of our genitals catching fire! It’s a really great sensation that adds to your pleasure instead of overwhelming your senses. I also love that it’s glycerin free and clean up is super easy. If you’re a fan of silicone lubricants, you’ll be excited to know that System JO also makes a Silicone Warming Lube.

Water Based Lubricant has all the benefits of System JO Personal Lubricant. Similar in feel and viscosity, yet contains NO OIL, WAX or SILICONE and washes off easily with water.

Silky, smooth feeling, never sticky or tacky. Lasts long, but washes off easy. 100% latex safe and manufactured under strict US FDA guidelines.

Another product I can recommend is Hot Pink, which is made specifically for women!

Hot Pink is a patented, exothermic lubricant that will heat up the bedroom or any other place you can dream up. Slick, non-drying formula is silicone and glycerin-free. Unlimited in use, it can incite foreplay or calm and soothe sensual massage, yet tingle every sensation. The multi-purpose ingredients make it fun, easy to clean and safe for all toys and accessories. Add a little heat to your romance with HOT PINK.

Just because it’s cold outside, doesn’t mean things have to cool off in the bedroom! Be sure to check out our full line of warming lubes to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Guys who have experienced an orgasm via prostate massage can tell you that a prostate massager could easily become a man’s best friend.  And women or men who know how to administer a prostate massage can easily overtake the prostate massager on that guy’s cool list.  But how do you really have fun with a prostate massage?  We have some tips to get you going.

This is the part where, being anal retentive about things, we remind you to go see a doctor and make sure your prostate is in good health before you try this.  An inflamed prostate receiving any pressure at all will definitely make your day a painful one.  Also, you don’t want to cause further injury if your prostate is not healthy.  Get a clean bill of health before you give it a go, especially if you are over 40 years old.

So we’ll start with a little information about the prostate.  From WebMD:

“The prostate is a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis. The prostate is just in front of the rectum. The urethra runs through the center of the prostate, from the bladder to the penis, letting urine flow out of the body.

The prostate secretes fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. During ejaculation, the prostate squeezes this fluid into the urethra, and it’s expelled with sperm as semen.

The vasa deferentia (singular: vas deferens) bring sperm from the testes to the seminal vesicles. The seminal vesicles contribute fluid to semen during ejaculation.”

Aneros Helix

That’s the long way of saying that when you ejaculate, the prostate is intimately involved.  And, as a side note, frequent ejaculation might actually be good for your prostate.  That’s where a prostate massage can be an added treat.

Now, in some fetish play, prostate massage is used for creating ejaculation alone – or a “ruined orgasm.”  If you are into orgasm denial, that’s your ticket.  But, if like me, you kind of consider an orgasm a fun part of sex, then you might want to go for the prostate massage – masturbation combo.  Or you could even go for the mother of all orgasmic explosions with the prostate massage – perineum massage – oral sex package that will leave you as a collection of jumbled, happy nerve endings.

Here are your tips to get going.  First, start small.  Have your partner use her or his finger to gently massage the prostate.  Simple strokes along it are best for a smooth experience.  I strongly recommend a healthy dose of water based lubricant and a rubber glove for the first time.  And make sure all fingernails are neatly trimmed.  Let your partner massage your prostate while you masturbate.  This will get you comfortable with the stimulation.

Next, experiment with internal massage versus a massage of the perineum alone.  The perineum is a stretch of skin between the testicles and anus.  The perineum is directly below the prostate.  You can do a perineum massage first, if you like, but I always suggest internal first to get a feel for anal stimulation.  You may find that the perineum massage is a better way for you, but remember that the urethra runs along the perineum and some people find it uncomfortable to get that kind of massage.

After that, you might want to try out a prostate massager.  Many vibrate, some offer multiple massage points, but almost all of them function better than anything else for a great prostate massage.  Again, start small.  The last thing you want to do is start anal play with the largest sex toy you can find.

Next, always remember to pay close attention to your comfort level.  If something starts to feel uncomfortable, stop the massage.  This is important.  You can cause injury to yourself if you don’t pay close attention.

And finally, some of you have been waiting to hear how to get the best of all combos.  That’s something you and your partner will need to discover together.  Good luck and enjoy the journey!

I’m a huge Juli Ashton fan, and it’s not just because I’ve seen her naked. There’s a lot more to this woman than some adult fans may realize – she was the first adult actress to own and operate her own production company and was the host of Night Calls for eleven years!  I love ambitious, intelligent women!

Since she’s probably not going to love me back any time soon, I figured I would check out the scene and see how I can get to know her better without, you know, stalking her!

The first thing that caught my eye was the Juli Ashton Pink Pocket Rocket. While this is a really basic toy, I really think it’s one that every woman should own. I’ve owned a couple of them over the years and they’re great for a quick O any time. Because they’re so simple, pocket rockets are also really great to incorporate into your partnered play – everything’s better with buzz!

If you’re a fan of her on camera work, you should take a look at the Juli Ashton 4 DVD Gift Set. This is the perfect set for couples who are looking to learn a little bit and set the mood for a spectacular night of debauchery!

Brought to you from the Alexander Institute, producer of the Ultimate Lovers DVD`s for couples and singles!The Juli Ashton 4 DVD Gift Set Includes:Loving Sex: Toys for Great SexThis erotic guide explores creative ways of using toys and other objects to enhance a couple`s sex life and bring more excitement to their lovemaking. Includes vaginal probes, clitoral vibrators, anal toys, and many more. Juli Ashton and her friends demonstrate the use of exciting toys in various situations and locations.

Finally, while this one does nothing for me, I just have to talk about the Juli Ashton UR3 Vibrating Ass and Pussy.  If you’re a die hard fan, this is probably your best chance to know what it’s like to spend an evening with Ms. Ashton! This realistic toy is molded from her hot body!

If you’ve ever dreamed of doing Juli Ashton, here’s your chance. Find endless sexual pleasure with an exact replica of Juli’s pussy and ass. It looks and feels just like her fabulous porn star body. You’ll love the tight fit and wet feel when you lube up and have your way with her!

Do you ever wish that everyone would just be quiet for a little bit? If you’re looking to silence your partner, may I suggest one of our many ball gags? Whether you’re looking for something for beginners, or for a new treat for your favorite puppy, you’ll find the perfect gag.

First up, let’s start with something for all of those innocent newbies out there. The Beginner Ball Gag from Tantus is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a place to start. While it was designed with beginners in mind, it’s made to last and is something you can enjoy for years to come.

Because silicone is tasteless and odorless, it is ideal for insertion in the mouth. The Beginner Ball Gag is the perfect choice because the outer mouth piece is contoured to fit comfortably (it’s original shape is based on an infant pacifier). The straps are leather that can snap off so you can wash the silicone: it’s boilable, bleachable in a 10% solution and dishwasher safe. Velcro closures on the straps allow for maximum adjustment for head size and ease of fitting.

Of course, if you’re looking for simple, this Ball Gag may be just the item you need to command the respect you deserve.  There are no bells or whistles, just a simple gag to keep your noisy sub in line.

This 1 inch Ball Gag is just big enough to keep most subs quiet. The sturdy Ball is only 1 inch for smaller mouths. The gag is held securely in place with a black strap.

These gags are designed with safety in mind. Simply un-snap and the ball can be easily removed. You can change out the balls without the need to replace the straps.

These ball gags fit from 13 1/2″ to 21″ sized heads. The straps are designed to go under the base of the skull on the back and around to the mouth.

Finally, I have to highlight this hot Dog Bone Bit Gag – it’s perfect for training your new puppy slave.

This 4 1/2in Dog Bone shaped Gag has a leather head strap with buckle to hold it firmly in place. Made of hard rubber, this gag is sturdy enough for even the most difficult pets.

These gags are made with safety in mind. Just unsnap and the bone can be removed, you can change the balls without replacing the straps.

Our small gag fits from 13 1/2″ to 21″ the straps are designed to go under the base of the skull on the back and around to the mouth.

While I’ll avoid making any jokes about giving a dog a bone, I bet there are plenty of people out there just dying to add this one to the mix!

Of course, I will remind you to never leave your partner unattended while wearing a ball gag. Air flow restriction can lead to asphyxiation and that’s no fun for anyone.
