Top Five High Tech Vibes

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

I’m a big fan of treating myself every once in a while. Sometimes that means going out for a nice sushi dinner with a great book and sometimes it means spending a little cash on a high tech vibe that I know will rock my world for years to come.
Hopefully, I’m not the only lady out there who thinks she deserves the very best! While some of these toys may seem a little pricey, I think it’s better to spend $80 on a vibe I’ll use ALL the time than a pair of boots that will sit in the back of my closet.

Today’s Top Five list features my favorite high-end vibrators and trust me when I say that every woman should own at least one!

1. Lelo’s Ina – I’ve always loved Lelo’s toys, but when they came out with this rabbit style vibe a couple of years ago, I became a fanatic. I mean, they took all of my favorite features of their older models (multi-speed, multi-function, rechargeable, and body-safe) and added a clit stimulator! To be honest, I’m surprised I’ve left the house since this arrived in the mail.

2. We Vibe II – This is my favorite couple’s toy of all time. It’s the only toy that was made to be worn during penetration and boy does it do the job. The new and improved version 2 has nine amazing vibration patterns that will rock your world. It’s rechargeable, made from silicone and, in my opinion, a must have for anyone with a vagina.

3. Synergy-better sex pleasure system – The Synergy is a massager that uses a unique oscillating action (up to 12,000 oscillations per minute) to enhance pleasure and any woman who has ever used an oscillator will tell you they are AMAZING. It’s a totally different sensation than what you get with a vibrator and I find they provide deeper, longer orgasm. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking to splurge.

4. Naughtinano – Music fans are going to love this inventive vibe. Just plug it into your mp3 player and this toy buzzes to the beat! I will admit that you’re be disappointed if you try to use it with your favorite Sarah McLachlan cd, but a good base driven mix will rock your world! It’s fun and it’s definitely different!

5. Gigi – I love g-spot stim, so I had to include a second Lelo toy on my list. I don’t feel bad about it because they’re definitely creating some of the finest toys out there. I mean, who else is offering a year warranty on their vibes? The Gigi is curved just right to hit the special spot and when you add the vibrations, you’re in for a hell of a ride.

7 Easily Avoided Sex Toy Problems

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

A good favorite!

It’s Friday and we feel lucky, so we’re going with the number 7, even though there are a few other minor issues we could mention here.  But we wanted to get a few items out on the table that haven’t been there before in this blog.  Sex toys are great additions to the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or wherever else you want to use them in private.  That said, we also want you to enjoy them, and enjoyment can hinge on avoiding these common problems.

1. This one is for the guys out there (that means you, sitting there stewing over your partner’s favorite dildo).  NEVER, ever, compare your pride and joy with your partner’s favorite playmate.  The “Duh Factor” on this one is immense, but it bears discussing.  Unless you were chosen by a picture showing you in the Full Monty, your partner wanted you for reasons other than the length or girth of captain happy.  Let your partner have her or his fun and roll with it.  That dildo or vibrator is a pleasure instrument, not a measuring stick!

2. Fantasy is NOT reality.  Even the most experienced players know that there is a time and place for everything.  Trying to recreate a special moment in a moment that isn’t so special (think 6:30 AM, prior to the first coffee), is a recipe for disaster.  Sex toys are great when your partner is in the mood, but they don’t fit in every time.  Don’t blame the tools, if you’re attempting to use them when the job isn’t called for.

3. Keep what works, discard the rest.  Think about it, you don’t keep eating food that you don’t like in hope that it will taste better next time.  The same rule applies to your sex toys and erogenous zones.  I’ve tossed out at least $1,000 worth of toys, lubes and other items because they didn’t work for me (yes, I actually paid for them – they weren’t perks).  How many bad meals have you sat through?  It’s not that big of a deal to spend some bucks and decide that something doesn’t work.  If you look at it as an investment in finding what does work, you are on your way.

4. Revisiting tools, always make sure that you have everything you need.  You’ve invested time and energy to meet someone who shares your proclivities.  Then, just when everything comes together, you forgot the condoms?  Have you lost your mind?  Nope, you are simply unprepared.  Don’t let that happen.

5. One last thing on tools, always use the right tools for the right jobs.  If a sex toy isn’t designed for anal play, don’t use it there.  If you are going to try out the large dildo, have the right amount of lube on hand (or wherever else you need it). Make sure that your sex toy is safe around water before you take the pleasure bath – and know the difference between splash proof and waterproof.  Your sex toys are only as good as you want if you use them properly.

6. Modification is not good with sex toys!  Some people have had serious injuries because they attempted to change their sex toys.  And, by the way, we hear tons of talk about homemade sex toys.  For some people, that’s possible.  But like anything else, the rest of us would do far better buying a professionally designed sex toy.  The fact is, most of us should avoid the nightmare of a poorly functioning or poorly designed sex toy.

7. Keep realistic expectations.  A sex toy can’t replace a loving relationship (though it can enhance one).  And a sex toy isn’t supposed to.  Enjoy your toys, but don’t expect them to give you everything you need.

As most of you know, we love our sex toys.  Keep these issues in mind and you can avoid most mistakes.  And always be ready to experiment.  You never know when you might discover a whole new avenue of pleasure!

Musical Interlude

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

I can’t believe I’ve never posted this song on here before! Missy Elliot is amazing and her shout out to sex toys is something every lady should have on their iPod!

With that base line, I’m guessing this song would be a perfect fit for my OhMiBod masturbation mixtape! For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, head over to the site to check out the OhMidBod Music Driven Vibrator.

The OhMiBod vibrator is a whole new way to enjoy your iPod or any other music player. Everyone loves music. Everyone loves sex. OhMiBod combines music and pleasure to create the ultimate acsexsory to your iPod.

Simply plug OhMiBod into your iPod or any music player and it automatically vibrates to the rhythm and intensity of the music. Let your body feel the vibrations as you get down with your favorite tunes. The combination of listening and feeling your music quickly transports you to a place where music, mind and body come together to create an unbeatable sexual experience.

Monkeys Don’t Spank It, But We Do!

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

If you’ve read our blog for a while,  you know that we’re big fans of masturbation and orgasms.  Both are healthy and normal activities for human beings.  Our website offers sex toys, like the Monkey Spanker, that help people to enjoy both.  We also get excited when we find research that supports the health benefits (and in this case, reproductive benefits) of masturbation.

The Monkey Spanker

Scientific American’s Jesse Bering has a great post on why humans are so good at masturbating (Hat Tip to the Reverend Monkeyspank), and why, contrary to what you may believe, masturbation is a healthy part of the reproductive cycle.  Wait!  Masturbation helps men to be more effective in reproduction?

You betcha! Here’s Bering’s documentation:

When it comes to sex, we put this capacity to very good—or at least, very frequent—use. In a now-classic, pre-Internet-porn (I’ll get to that later on) study  by British evolutionary biologists Robin Baker and Mark Bellis, male university students were found to masturbate to ejaculation about every 72 hours, and “on the majority of occasions, their last masturbation is within 48 hours of their next in-pair copulation.” If they’re not having intercourse every day, that is to say, men tend to pleasure themselves to completion no more than two days prior to having actual sex.

Baker and Bellis’s quite logical argument for this seemingly counterintuitive state of affairs (after all, shouldn’t men try to stock up as much sperm as possible in their testes rather than spill their seeds so wastefully in a rather infertile swath of toilet paper or a dirty sock?) is that because there is a “shelf-life” for sperm cells – they remain viable for only 5-7 days after production – and because adult human males manufacture a whopping 3 million sperm per day, masturbation is an evolved strategy for shedding old sperm while making room for new, fitter sperm. It’s quality over quantity.

I won’t recite the entire article here – you really should read it – but I will say that Bering’s research is thorough and entertaining.  Monkeys don’t spank it very often, you know. It turns out that humans have an edge (no pun intended) when it comes to masturbating.  What is it?  Imagine all the possibilities.

So those women who are looking for a new addition to the family, maybe it’s time to let your partner do his thing.  We can provide him a huge supply of sex toys for men to help him along his way.

Strapped Dykes

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

We don’t feature a ton of DVDs on here, but when I saw that one of my favorite movies had been added to the site, I had to write it up. Strapped Dykes, a Belladonna film, manages to combine two of my favorite queer porn stars, Jiz Lee and Syd Blakovich, with the amazing Belladonna.

My favorite scene is the third, starring Syd Blakovich, Jiz Lee and Sage Sinn. These ladies hold nothing back as they fuck and suck for over 35 minutes. It’s non-stop XXX action, and the ending will blow you away. Jiz is on her back, while Syd fucks her with a big Vixen dildo and Sage works her clit. While I know that sounds totally rad, the way she pounds that cock into Jiz’s cunt until she squirts is way hotter than I can express in words.

There isn’t a ton of crossover between mainstream porn and the indie queer scene, so it’s pretty amazing that Bella booked these hot stars in this XXX lesbian porno.

No air cunnilingus or gay-for-pay here… Bella and her plastic-dick wielding, hairy-legged partner-in-girl-slime Jiz Lee incite five scenes of unabashed, gritty Real Lesbian Action. Jizz demolishes Bella, BBW April Flores, Sinn Sage, and Syd Blakovich. Alt-goddess Blakovich also goes a round each with Bobbi Starr and Aiden Starr! The disc features a two-part behind-the-scenes, trailers, and a bonus scene.

Climax Pop – Toy Review

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

I really like the simple things in life and that definitely includes basic sex toys like bullet vibes. When I saw the Climax Pop from Topco, I knew I had to try it out, despite the fact that I probably have a dozen toys kind of like it. It’s cute, silicone and I’ve been curious about the Climax line for a while.

The Climax Pop is a one speed bullet vibe that is really as basic as they come. I prefer multi-speed toys myself, but that’s not really a deal breaker for me. Since the ridged sleeve is made from silicone, it’s phthalate-free and body-safe.

This little guy runs on 3 AG13 batteries which are often used for watches. Considering this, it’s a pretty powerful toy. I did have a big problem with the fact that the batteries were drained really quickly. I only used it twice, and not for epic masturbation sessions, and the power was significantly decreased.

Because of the way this vibe sucks power, I don’t recommend it if you don’t have a lot of sex toys. I have actually taken the sleeve off of this vibe and use it with another bullet vibe that is multi-speed and runs on four AAA batteries! I really like the texture of the sleeve and love that it’s made from silicone, so it’s really improved an old bullet vibe that had fallen out of rotation for me. I would actually pay for the sleeve because it is a nice addition to my considerable collection.

If you’re looking for an affordable clit vibe that is, in my opinion, a better option, check out the Pocket Rocket Jr.

I will commend Topco and other big companies for using better materials now, just a couple of years ago, this would have been made out of disgusting jelly. Unfortunately, I think they still have some kinks to work out with this particular toy, but man is that sleeve sweet!
