When I’m thinking about green sex toys, the first material that comes to my mind is wood. I mean, can’t you just picture a bunch of hippies saving the environment by day and then whipping out their wooden dildos and going to town after their nightly drum circle? While a lot of you who have never considered a wood sex toy may be a little nervous (splinters!) but here to discuss the possibilities in this latest installment of Going Green in the Bedroom.

The first great thing about wood is that it is a renewable resource. If we take the time to plant trees, we’ll have an unlimited supply of material to craft dildos from for future generations. I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel really good. I’d hate to think of a future in which wars are waged over the lack of quality sex toys…

While individual companies use different sealants and processes to craft their toys, in general I can say that these toys are body safe also. While you really need to research the individual product, a good example is the Don Wands Treeze line. It is created from a unique wood/urethane hybrid material that is hypoallergenic, nonporous, phthalates free, waterproof and splinter free. Because of this hybrid material, there’s no coating to chip off either!

If you like firm materials, your should really consider a wooden toy for obvious reasons. While this may be a bit unexpected, the wooden dildo that I have is also one of the smoothest toys I have. I would compare to another green material, glass – all you need is a couple of drops of lube and every thing will glide along quite smoothly.

One of the most important things you should consider when making an effort to go green in the bedroom is what material your toys are made of. Wood is a unique material that is definitely worth considering.

We’re really excited about Cupid’s Fun Factory Giveaway and I thought it was the perfect time to highlight my favorite toys from Fun Factory. When I first started seriously getting into toys, Fun Factory was the first high-end company I fell in love with and they haven’t let me down since!

1. Heartbreaker – This is the first silicone vibe I bought years ago and I’m pleased to report it’s still running and getting me off! I love the ribbed body and it’s flexible enough to hit all of the right spots.

2. Baby Bug – This little guy is perfect for travel and totally cute! I love little bullet vibes and the fact that this one is made from body safe silicone makes it a must have in my book. I gave a friend who was new to toys this as a intro and she’s hooked!

Fun Factory's Bandito

3. Magnum – This is a pretty standard dildo, but I think it’s just about perfect for use with a harness. It’s the perfect size and density in my opinion and another toys that’s good for people who are newish to sex toys.

4. Bandito – This is another top notch silicone dildo, but a little fancier than the Magnum. There’s all sorts of bumps and swirls for a little extra texture and that g-spot curve is to die for!

5. Smart Balls – While these aren’t the sexiest item on my list, it’s really important for women to do their Kegel Exercises and these are my favorite way to workout. All you have to do is pop them in and go about your business! It’s a piece of cake and I’d be lying if they don’t turn me on a bit while I’m dusting!

While those are the toys I find myself reaching for over and over again, you can always expect quality when you pick up something from Fun Factory!

Every one is busy shoveling and trying to stick to their 2010 resolutions, so I thought I’d write a short post with suggestions for those of you who are set on having better (and more!) sex in the new year!

1. Masturbate. The key to ecstasy in the bedroom is knowing what gets you off and that means you need to figure it out yourself! I could write a novel on this, but Ginger breaks it down really well over on SexToysForLadies!

2. Talk. So you figured out what rocks your world, now you need to tell your partner just what gets you off. Communication is the key to any great relationship and that has to continue in the bedroom.

3. Laugh. Sex is funny.

4. Lube. I can’t even keep track of how many times we’ve advocated the liberal use of lubricant, but here it is for those of you who are new to the blog!

5. Experiment. Variety is the spice of life and we’ve got a boat load of sex toys that’ll help you keep things new in the bedroom. Whether you’re looking for a bullet vibe, new handcuffs or a penis pump, we’ve got it and you need it!

This year is wrapping up quickly and I wanted to highlight my favorite products of 2009. Here’s a list of toys that have rocked my world, porn that I watch over and over again and things I really think every one should own!

1. We Vibe – This little guy took the industry by storm this year with good reason. This is amazing silicone vibe is is designed to stimulate a woman’s clit and g-spot while she’s being penetrated! I can’t even begin to express how fantastic this is. It’s phthalate-free, rechargeable and a toy I find myself reaching for all the time. I wish every woman would wake up on January 1st to find one of these on her dresser. 2010 would be one hell of a year!

2. Scrubs: A XXX Parody – There were so many hilarious spoofs released this year, but my favorite was Scrubs. It is totally hilarious and James Deen is so freaking hot that I find myself watching scenes over and over again.

3. Pink Water – You know I love lube, and this year I had a chance to check out a few from Empowered Products. They definitely do lube right. I find myself using Pink Water all the time, mostly because I have a ton of silicone toys that aren’t compatible with silicone lube. I’ve liked all of them though, so be sure to check out Empowered if you’re looking for a quality lubricant.

4. Ella – This is the dildo of they year, in my opinion. It’s amazing for g-spot stimulation and totally affordable compared to a lot of pure silicone toys. If you’re looking for an amazing g-spot wand, you should definitely consider this new Lelo release.

So there you have it. Those are the things that kept things hot and heavy in the bedroom this year. Let me know if you think there is something you think will rock my world in 2010!

Happy New Year!

OK, boys, it’s time to think about that Christmas gift.  And if you’re lucky enough to have someone naughty in your life, you’re thinking what I’m thinking, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, sex toys for couples.  That’s right, this is the perfect season to put a little extra hot sauce in the relationship stew.  Well, first, take your finger off the mouse, and don’t click the button to complete your purchase.  That’s right, we have to put those thinking caps on for just a few minutes.

Click this picture for a good idea

Now, for our less experienced brethren, we need to spell some things out.  Trust me boys, reading this is going to spare you an awkward stare in the best case scenario, or a “What were you thinking?” question in the worst case scenario.  Here’s a little tip from your friendly testosterone based sex toy expert: What we find incredibly hot, may not always be what women find incredibly hot.

Maybe a good idea or maybe not

Take that dildo you were staring at a few minutes ago.  You might have been thinking “Wow, she’ll love this!”  That may be true, but are you willing to risk your studliness rating on it?  Think it through with me now.  If you know her sexual appetites like the back of your hand (you lucky devil), you may be perfectly alright buying that dildo.  And that’s good.  But why would you settle for good when you can have the best?

That’s right.  This year, you’re going to enhance your sex life with the tools that our spies have identified as THE most effective tools in the war against boring sex, and give her a holiday gift she’ll love.  Boring sex is perhaps the toughest opponent we men have battled since the beginning of history.  You think Genghis Khan was tough? Puh-lease.  The Mongol hordes were cupcakes compared to, “If you insist, but I really have a headache.”  You can kill a horse mounted archer.  “I’m not in the mood” is an ethereal vapor that can only be temporarily dispelled.

And boring sex has some powerful allies.  Stress, moods, misunderstandings, thoughtlessness, anger and hurrying all give boring sex their complete endorsement and support.  To fight boring sex, you must defeat this great evil’s allies.

Misunderstandings, thoughtlessness and anger can all be easily defeated.  Try being nicer.  Put your partner first sometimes.  Listen (yeah, I know, that’s one of the hard ones, but if you try it, you may actually learn something too).  Here’s a thought, make your partner dinner (or buy a really nice bring home one if you really can’t cook – learn to cook) and have it waiting for her for when she gets home from work.  Around the high-strung holidays, this is an excellent idea.

You serve it up and sit and enjoy it with her, listening to how her day went.  That’s only a first step, but you’ll be on your way. And watch her facial expression as you pay attention to what’s on HER mind, not yours.  Trust me boys, this one is a winning strategy for not just sex, but for everything.

Give her a stress reliever

Stress is an evil ally of boring sex that really takes an effort to dispel.  Try cleaning the house some, doing things that irritate her less, and doing things for her that really make her uncomfortable to do herself.  PAY ATTENTION MEN, HERE COME SOME SERIOUS TOOLS.

The next step to defeating stress is to provide an environment for her where she can totally relax.  The warriors among us know exactly how good a hot tub can feel after a hard workout or practice.  Give her the holiday gift of a luxuriant bath, and you’ll deal stress a wicked blow.  Watch her go from cranky to cozy as the hot bath filled with Kama Sutra’s Treasures of the Sea pampers her.  She’ll let that stress melt into the sea blue bath and be feeling better in short order.

Some of the young bucks among us are now asking “What does this have to do with me getting laid?”  Settle down and read on, boys, you may learn something.

Next on the holiday list to kill off some stress is a great massage.  Our spies report that nothing on earth is better for relieving stress than a good massage where it counts.  Is your partner on her feet all day?  A good foot massage is a perfect way to show her you appreciate her.  Does she have a high stress office job that keeps her under pressure?  Neck and shoulder massages, coupled with a good back massage can release all of that stress if you take your time and do it right.  Get a good massage oil and give her the attention she needs (and most likely really wants if you aren’t doing this already).

You can add to all of the relaxation with some aromatics as well.  A good candle is an excellent choice to accompany the hot bath.  The Ocean breeze scented candle would match nicely with the Treasures of the Sea. It’s all about the moment, boys.  If she can relax and enjoy the moment, stress will flow right out of her and you’ll be Mr. Hero in that moment.  Want some real fun?  Get a candle that produces massage oil like the 3 in 1 Yule Love It, which is a perfect choice for the holidays!

Everything you can do to relieve and reduce stress is one more point scored against boring sex.  Where were we on the list?  Right, moods and hurrying are left.  Here’s the thing, sometimes everyone involved wants a quickie, and there’s nothing wrong with that.  No better way to start the day than with a nice orgasm all around.

But quickies are just that, a quick moment of pleasure.  If you want the mind bending, knee rattling orgasm, you’re going to need time and the right mood.  Lucky for us, Sarah has done an extensive post on how to fight both of these enemies.  Now the smart among us are thinking “This sounds like an awful lot of work, and it isn’t what I would’ve thought, so it must be right!”  The idiots will buy a random sex toy and say “Hey honey, let’s get down for Christmas.”

Boys, invest in the gifts above this holiday season and you’ll win.  Trust me.  Focus on her, relieve stress, show some serious affection and the boring sex won’t even try to make an appearance again before Valentine’s Day, which is another great opportunity to shower her with more happiness.

Good luck, man up, and get shopping.

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.

ATTENTION You will not find her in a Lamestorm ATTENTION

On the radar, we’ve spotted a Lamestorm…

“Say, Bob, that sure is a cool Vampire suit,” Johnny says as he wipes cracker crumbs off his chin.  “Mike came as Darth Vader, you know.”  He washes down his cheese cracker with the four dollar wine and waves Janet over.  “Hey, Janet, come check out Bob’s Vampire suit!”

Janet rolls her eyes and heads for the Gin spiked punch bowl.  Susan’s on the couch, listening to ballads that weren’t even “that cool” twenty years ago when they were made.  She crosses her legs, leans back and reaches into her purse for a cigarette, remembering that she’d have to go out on the back patio to smoke it.  She pulls her hand back and crosses her arms when she thinks of Tony stomping around drunk in the back yard with his ten dollar Frankenstein mask.

The rental disc jockey picks up his microphone and says, “Alright everyone, Joe says it’s time to play Transylvania Style Charades!  Everyone into the living room!  I’ll be back on in thirty minutes, playing your favorite hits!  Remember the tip jar!”

Susan stands up, picks up her purse and heads for the patio.  She figures watching Tony act like a drunken sot would be more entertaining than trying to signal “werewolf” to Count Draculidiot and Darth Vader.  Amber’s pulled out her car keys and heads for the door.  Raymond has fallen asleep in the dining room next to the Hors D’oeuvres.

*****

This could be your Halloween party. Tragically, each year lame parties break out on major holidays around the world.  You don’t have to be a victim of this insidious phenomena.  They spring up from random acts of unimaginative planning, careless disregard for fun and from the minds of people trapped in corporate jobs where fun is defined by one’s productivity divided by one’s total break time plus lunch.

Only you can prevent Lame Party Syndrome.

For starters, please don’t wear a lame costume.  This is the beginning of the Lamestorm.  If you wear something tired, dull and unimaginative, you will only create a Lame Field around you that affects others.  They innocently wander into your Lame Field and themselves begin to feel lame.

If you don’t have the time to spend on costume selection, just go here for a good idea.  If you create a Lame Field, you have only yourself to blame.  Lame Party Syndrome most frequently breaks out in the closets of those invited.

Play this at your next party to create a waiting list for the following year

Next, don’t buy cheap drinks.  C’mon, man, this is a holiday!  Spend a couple extra bucks for the good stuff.  And for crying out loud, don’t use styrofoam or paper cups.  Are you kidding me?  You’ll create a monumental Lamestorm when the beverage gods see the good stuff going into environmentally unsound – or worse yet – Lame containers.

Get some of these and block the Lame with a sexy twist.

Finally, while Count Draculidiot and Darth Vader may love “Transylvania Style Charades,” you’ll bring serious Lame into the party atmosphere with them.  Heck, the only thing more dangerous to fun would be the “Uber” (used here for effect) Lame Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock collaborating with those dressed as Romulans to play “Star Trek Style Charades.”

As an aside, should that actually happen at a party you attend: a) Reconsider your invitation acceptance strategy b) Chug as much of the cheap booze as you can manage, and c) Hail the nearest cab, lest you wake up next to a Klingon commander in the morning.

Get a fun, sexy game to play at the party!  A fun game (if you play games) is the difference between a good time and a Lame Party Syndrome that sends your guests home in an angry, stultified stupor.

This concludes the Sextoys.com Partyology Department’s Official Lamestorm Warning And Holiday Statement.

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.”

Click the picture because you know you will want one of these

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

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

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!

We’ll admit, that was a setup title.  Nothing is better than sex or golf.  But we also have to admit that football isn’t far behind.  And since we just wrapped up the first week of U.S. Professional Football’s preseason, we figured it would be a great time to celebrate the World’s Most Physical spectacle with a tribute to fun ways to incorporate football themes into sex (without the violence, because collisions in bed should be far more controlled and less painful).

Cheering for you

And let’s not dilly dally about this, most guys will not watch a game without a peek, or two, at the home team’s cheerleading squad.  After all, the Dallas Cowgirls are as famous, if not moreso than their head banging counterparts, the Dallas Cowboys.  Well guys, why just stare?  Get into the fantasy with Chrissy the Coed Cheerleader Doll:

“Always wanted to do a cheerleader? Here’s your chance to be the jock of this cheerleaders world! She’ll have you cumming in her anally, vaginally, and orally.

Let her cheer you into the best orgasm you’ve craved for years. Enjoy every inch of her athletic little body as she does splits on your pleasure rod. Show her you have some pom-poms of your own that she can cheer with.

Chrissy is an inflatable latex love doll. She has 3 openings.

This is an inflatable love doll. The box cover image may not represent the actual product.”

And since we’re talking Dallas, you might want to get the ability for some instant replays.  True, you don’t have a red flag for a coach’s challenge, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait for a highlight reel to get the best action at your fingertips.  And, suppose you had your own camera?  You know you’d have a cheerleaders’ highlight reel too, right?

How about Debbie Does Dallas for some serious “in game” action?

Highlight Reel

From Classic DVD:

“Dallas Debbie and her young cheerleader friends form Teen Services, an organization dedicated to serving their clients with total satisfaction – for a price – so that they can go to Dallas and earn their place with the coveted Texas Cowgirl Cheerleaders.

The movie is one of the hottest x-rated films ever made. One of the all-time bestsellers on videocassette. A classic, combining a fantasy setting with some very intense and graphic sex action. Starring: Bambi Woods, Misty Winter, Pat Allure, Robyn Byrd, Rikki O’Neal, Arcadia Lake, Paula Head, and Georgette Sanders.”

No football player spends all of his time in a film room.  The best know that you have to get out and practice to become the best player in the league.  And practice for the greats is what made them really stand out.

Average players never really like to practice and it shows.  Build up your game and get in shape (bigger shape) with Dr. Joel’s Stroking Power Pump:

Pump it up

“Pump up your manhood with this powerful pump.

Endorsed and prescribed by Dr. Joel Kaplan, this pump features robotic vertical suction action as well as intense multi-speed vibrations.

The thick plastic cylinder has a stretchy donut sleeve entrance that is shaped like a mouth and a silicone sleeve that is lined with raised nubs for stimulation during stroking.

Suction bulb attachment increases the pressure within the transparent vacuum tube for greater blood flow.

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.”

SCORE

Everyone says that Football is a game of inches.  Well, you should take them seriously.  The difference between a turnover and a score can be a matter of inches.  Make sure you get the extra length you need with the Andropenis Extender:

“Andropenis is a penis enlarger which provokes permanent growth in the structure of the penis through a progressive and adaptable traction system. It is the only penis enlargement device with FDA clearance as well as being approved by health authorities in countries around the globe.

The design of Andropenis is based on medical research which supports and guarantees its efficiency and is recommended by prestigious Urologists and Andrologists worldwide. Andropenis is a discreet, easy to use and comfortable device which can be used whilst seated and walking.

Andropenis allows the user to obtain a permanently bigger penis, up to 4 cm in length and 1.5 cm in girth. Other enlargers will claim to give you better results but andropenis has the medical backing to show it works and is safe, it is effective in 97.5% of cases.”

C’mon, Man!  A 97.5% conversion rate in the red zone will make you the talk of the league.

Ok, ok.  Ladies, you need not become a widow during football seaon.  Do you have a guy who spends too much time glued to the set watching the waning minutes of a 3 -3 game between two last place teams?  Some guys can get pathetic about football.  Get his pathetic backside off the couch by confusing him.

Right, don’t argue.  Most guys in a football induced coma are easily susceptible to believing almost anything (like their 4-8 team can come back and get into the playoffs).  Fool him with the BJU Cheerleading costume and he’ll follow you straight to the room.

From Dream Girls:

Distract Him

“This five piece sleepwear set has bra top that ties in the front with a contrast trim and BJU screen print. Includes skirt with cheerleader logo with pink sequin trim, matching thong and 2 pink hair ribbons to add to the look. The material of the costume is 100! Polyester. Your partner can wait to hear you scream some cheers!

Size: one size fits most”

So there you have it.  Get into football season with a sexy twist.  Or make it a team sport with our complete selection of sex toys for couples.  You’re going to love the action.

This Post NOT Endorsed by the National Football League. – But it was sure fun to write.

Everyone knows that we spend a good deal of digital pixels extolling the need for everyone to practice safe sex.  Condoms are the surest bet to reduce risk when it comes to sex, especially sex with a new partner.  And we’ve done reports on fairly odd condom stories as well, like the Canadian University that was collecting used condoms to check out friction rates.

Now comes a story about decorative condoms with a surrealistic flair.  From Gizmodo:

“Ever wondered what a clown wears on his penis when he wants to practice safe sex with the bearded lady? A Wacky Rubber, that’s what.

Yes, Wacky Rubbers! Nothing instills confidence in the ability of a condom to prevent pregnancy and STDs like having a face painted on it and lights built into it.

Not only that, but these things are shaped as well. Ears, hats, stars — each of them has a definitely non-penile shape to it that makes very little sense to me. I’m not sure if it’d be better or worse if they accurately retained their shape while in use. Probably worse.”

We can’t comment on the quality of these, but they are a hoot and would likely make a great gag gift.  But we can comment on the quality of the condoms we sell and they are definitely worth the investment.  You can also add Condoms to your wish list of up to $1,000 in free sex toys in Ginger Leigh’s Fabulous Shopping Spree!
