Top Five Butt Plugs

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

There are a couple of things you should always look for when buying an anal plug. The first is to make sure that it has a flared base or retrieval cord, although I definitely prefer the first more.  No one wants to lose a toy up their ass and have to make an embarrassing trip to the ER for removal. The second is what material is your toy made from. If you’re going to be wearing a butt plug around the house while you’re dusting, you don’t want it to be leaking nasty chemicals into your body the entire time. You also want it to be something that can be sterilized (for obvious reasons) like medical grade silicone or glass.

Considering those two things will help you rule out a lot of lesser items, but there are still a ton of great butt plugs to chose from. Here are five of my favorites!

1. Tantus Slim – This is my pick for beginners. It’s made from silicone, so it can be sterilized after use, and it’s a great size for someone who is just starting out with anal play. I love Tantus toys because they are built to last a lifetime with proper care plus they are totally affordable!

2. NJOY Pure Plug – This is essentially the Rolls Royce of butt plugs. Crafted from Stainless Steel and available in three sizes, there’s one for everyone! Equally fun for hot bedroom play or to wear all day for some naughty secret stimulation, njoy’s Pure Plugs truly shine where the sun don’t!

3. Tristan 2 Vibe – I thought I should include a plug that buzzes in my list and there’s none better than Tristan Taormino’s from Vixen Creations. This one is also made from silicone and includes a vibrating bullet for a little extra action! No one knows anal better than Taormino, this delightfully shaped anal sex toy in perfect proportions for comfort and pleasure.

4 Alumina Pace – Another Tantus toy, but this time made of 100% aeronautic grade aluminum! If you’re looking for something metal, but can’t quite afford the NJOY plug yet, this is one to consider. It’s lighter that steel and designed to play anatomically with your body’s pleasure zones.

5. Bum Rush – This Rascal toy is part of the new silicone line from Topco and definitely worth checking out. The base is extra flexible, which I think makes this one good for long term wear.

If none of these strike your fancy, be sure to head over to Sextoys.com to check out our complete selection of Butt Plugs. With almost 700 available, I’m sure you can find something to rock your world!

Combo Pack 5 – Toy Review

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

No matter how many high-tech toys I own, I’m still a sucker for a simple egg vibe or pocket rocket. I mean, I love all the bells and whistles that come with a toy like the Gigi, but I really appreciate a simple toy that can bring me from zero to Oh My God quickly every time. When I saw the Sterling Collection Combo Pack from California Exotic, I was really excited because two bullets equal twice as much fun!

The first thing that stood out on this toy was that each bullet is controlled separately. That means that two people can enjoy the toy at the level of vibration that’s right for them! There’s nothing like a little mutual masturbation to set the mood and this toy makes it easy as pie. Of course, if you’re greedy you can use one bullet to stimulate your clit while you or a partner teases with the other! Is it really possible to have too much of a good thing?

With seven levels of stimulation and a pretty powerful buzz, this toy is a cheap way to travel down the road to bliss over and over again. I really believe that multiple levels of vibration are key to any bullet vibe and this one definitely does the job.

Another cool thing about this toy is that each vibe unplugs from the controller, so you can update with different shaped accessories. I’m really interested in check out the Triple Tiered Silver Bullet. Anyways, both bullets included in this pack are made from ABS with silver plating, but there are other options if you’re interested in something different down the road.

Overall, this is a really cool toy that gives you options and that is never a bad thing. If you’re a fan of bullet vibes you should definitely think about doubling your pleasure. This would also be a great first toy for a friend!

Introducing Porn Into Your Relationship

Monday, May 10th, 2010

For today’s post, I thought I would offer some advice on the best way to explore bringing adult films into a relationship. It is difficult to broach this topic without it sounding as if there is some sort of trickery involved. There is not. What is involved is communication and open-mindedness . Even with these two staple ingredients between a couple, spouses, or boyfriends and girlfriends, it still is not guaranteed to happen and may not even be a good idea, but they are certainly both necessary to even begin.

It is also worth stating the obvious and addressing the pink elephant in the room. More than likely, this is an article aimed at men. While I am sure couples exist where the female is into pornography and the guy isn’t, they are likely the minority. The small minority. Some might even suggest “microscopic” minority.

So let’s say you are a guy, in a healthy relationship, enjoy pornography from time to time, and the idea of watching it with your girlfriend is something that appeals to you. Where do you go from here? The wrong approach is to tell her you rented The Notebook and “accidentally” pop in Don’t Tell My Wife I Assfucked The Babysitter 2. The right approach is dialogue.

Sexual Exploits Jean Val Jean Prisoner of Love

Most of the information over the last few years shows that the number of women that watch or enjoy porn are significantly higher than most might have expected. Earlier this year a report suggested 30% of women admitted to watching porn online. That’s 1/3 that admit to it. Last year Oprah even asked the question, Are More Women OK With Watching Porn? in O Magazine. It’s 2010, not 1950. I am not saying that means your girl watches it or likes it, but it is no longer a dirty secret, or even a secret, that females enjoy adult entertainment.

Part of the reason may be as a result of cheap technologies. Porn is no longer solely comprised of the porndinary ideas of yesteryear; big blond hair, huge fake breasts, waif-y model type physiques. As a result of the internet and cheap video equipment, women are now behind the camera and are dictating and directing to their likes, not solely submitting to the male point of view. People are freer to expose and explore their personal likes whether that be women of average or heavy build, natural body types, or even bisexuality and authentic and romantic encounters instead of the standard soulless mechanical sex. And it is necessary to take all this into consideration.

If you want your girl to be open to the idea of watching porn together, you may need to be open to the idea of compromising and exploring something you both find to be a turn on. It is not realistic to expect her to initially be ok with both watching it and watching only what you like. I am not suggesting you need to be ashamed or not enjoy what you prefer in your own private fantasies, but we are working for a shared experience between you and your partner.

So now that we have a little background and foundation set up, how do you actually go about it? Well let’s assume a few things. (Yes, I know it is dangerous to assume anything, but for argument’s sake…) Let’s assume you haven’t told your girlfriend or wife you don’t watch porn. Because you do. And if you lied to her and said you didn’t, you clearly have bigger problems regarding honesty and communication in your relationship and probably don’t deserve to be with her, let alone try to get her to watch porn with you. So if you are lying you are doomed anyways. So let’s say she knows. Because there’s healthy communication. Which also probably means there’s already healthy conversations about sex.

Expert Guide To Positions

If all goes well... Expert Guide To Positions

I have found that sometimes the best way to bring what might be awkward conversations up is to slip into it. Not to set it up as some big, huge conversation. I have found that saying, “Baby, we need to talk…” puts women on edge and in a defensive posture and you are likely to fail before you even get out of the gate. Start a conversation about turn-ons. Ask her, “Hey, I have always been turned on by the idea of watching porn with you. You think we could find something we both might like and try?” It’s your idea, but you include her in it making her a part of it.

And depending on how receptive they are may dictate whether you face the next question. “What, I don’t turn you on?/ Would you rather be having sex with someone else?” This is where it can be tricky. A healthy relationship can withstand this line of questioning. It is almost juvenile and falls into the misinformation that Hollywood projects on people that once you have found “the one” that all other people exist or cease to be attractive any more. “Of course I want to have sex/make love/fuck you, but I’m sure you still find other people attractive too, and that’s ok. This is just a fantasy I have had and wanted to see your thoughts.” This doesn’t flip it back on her, but it allows her to be exactly what you want her to accept about you. That we are human. If she is still threatened by the idea of the two of you watching porn together, it may be time to abandon the idea for now.

Friends - A XXX Parody

If she is still open to the idea, you are in the home stretch. But aren’t guaranteed the win just yet. You don’t want to blow your lead in the bottom of the ninth with two outs. One bad pitch right here and it could be game over. To bring it home, we are at the crucial moment of video selection. Spoof and parody porn has recently exploded and there are a ton of titles that aren’t that threatening and may evoke some good memories for her. And since she has already been a champ to this point, you just might want to put the ball in her hand. (Pun sort of intended.) To once again show this is a team effort, why not let her pick a movie? It’s ok to shoot films down that don’t turn you on or even turn you off, but don’t shoot down a movie with three girls and one guy because you want a movie with four girls and no guy. Plus, by having her pick, it will likely get her in the mood quicker and make the experience she enjoys too and it becomes more likely it might happen again.

There is no full-proof way to introduce the idea of you and your girlfriend enjoying a shared experience of watching porn to get you both turned on, but there are ways to increase your chances. That way is honest communication. Females can usually spot and smell sneakiness and manipulation a mile away. So the best policy is some tactful honesty.

I am curious about people’s experience with this. Have you tried this before? Been successful? How did you go about bringing it up? Leave comments below and we will send you a discount to use on SexToys.com.

Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape!

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

We don’t talk a lot about porn on the blog, but when I saw that we now offer the Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape, I had to share it with the masses.  More often than not, I could care less about the latest celebrity sex tape.  I mean, who really needs to see Screech whip out his cock?  Now Jimi Hendrix, that’s a whole different story.  That man is a rock and roll legend and was sex on a stick!  If he fucks half as well as he played guitar, we are in for a treat!

A memorabilia collector went to an auction in London. He purchased a trunk, and inside he found an 8mm film labeled “Black Man.” That celebrity sex tape that he found was from a famous musician. He watched the film and recognized the man as Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix … morehad no idea that he would end up in the celled sex tape archive of Vivid Entertainment. Jimi’s dong will be famous forever now.

You know you want to see it!  Head over to the site to check out the Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape.

Slippery Stuff – Product Review

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Lube is really important, but sometimes it’s also really expensive. While I believe that you often get what you pay for, I’m always looking for a great deal and I totally found one when I picked up a bottle of Slippery Stuff Liquid lubricant!

Because I love my silicone sex toys, I always have a bottle of water-based lube. While I love silicone lube because it’s long lasting, you can’t use it with silicone toys because it will ruin them. I’ve never found a water-based product that lasts as long as silicone, but Slippery Stuff is a really great product for a few reasons.

The first thing I love is that this stuff is glycerin free. A lot of women have bad reactions to glycerin and it’s known to cause yeast infections. I avoid it at all costs and most women really should. It also doesn’t taste or smell like anything – which is really rare. I’d much rather taste my partner than chemicals any day!

The best thing about Slippery Stuff is that it really mirrors a woman’s natural wetness well. While I’ve yet to find a water-based lube that lasts all night long, all you need to do is add a few drops of water to re-activate this stuff.  Saliva works just as well and is a little bit more fun!

Just a few drops of this stuff and you’re good to go without and weird tastes, scary glycerin or worries about ruining your favorite silicone dong!  What’s even better is that it’s only $6.89 for this 4 ounce bottle!  With the money you’ll save by picking up Slippery Stuff, you can have all sorts of fun…

Toy Review – Little Su

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

When you review a lot of sex toys it’s always something to find something new and different.  When I saw the Little Su a year or so ago, I knew I had to get my greedy little hands on it!

This unique dildo is made out of medical grade silicone, which means it can be sterilized and shared. Sweet! While it doesn’t vibrate, silicone is really great at transferring vibration and I’ve found that you can add a whole new dimension to the toy by using a vibe with it.

So this toy isn’t meant for thrusting like most dildos.  You insert the Little Su (3.75 insertable inches) and then rock against the part that rests outside your body that does a really great job of stimulating the clit.  Its design is really thoughtful – there are ridges and curves in all of the right places and it really fills you up nicely.

Please know that this is not a toy that is meant for a quick orgasm.  You have to work a bit, but boy is it worth it.  I really like using it for partnered play.  Going down on my partner is a huge turn on in itself, but when I add the extra sensations of this toy it’s a mind-blowing experience for everyone involved!

Two women can also enjoy it simultaneously because the clit stimulator is textured on both sides.  I don’t love it as much for that, but some women may and I do admit it can be fun!

The Little Su comes in a nice box that opens up a lot like a book.  I use mine for storage and think it makes for an attractive gift also.

If you’re looking for something different, you should definitely check out the Little Su on Sextoys.com.  It’s well designed and sure to bring something new to the bedroom!
