Let me take a minute to introduce myself. A part of the SexToys.com team that usually handles blog duties over at DVDsandSexToys.com, I go by the name chrism. When Expert asked me to also select this month’s Featured Products for Men subcategory at SexToys.com, I thought it would make sense to guest-blogpost the reason for my selections over here. I won’t go into explanation for all twenty toys I selected, but just to highlight a few…

1.) Vibrating Fleshlight Vagina Male Masturbator Sex Toy Kit

I have to say, the office was in a little bit of a tizzy when we finally got this in stock. It is probably one of the the most widely known masturbators out there, and with good reason. The material used delivers a realistic sensation, and the ease to use and clean has caused it to sell over  2,000,000 units, making it one of the best vagina simulators on the market. This kit comes with the added bonus of three cockrings to prolong your pleasure and enjoyment.

2.) Vibrating Cock Ring – Red

I added this to my list because Tantus simply makes outstanding products. Made of medical grade silicone, it is the best material for sex toys available. Hypoallergenic, phthalate-free, odorless, tasteless, bleachable, boilable, non-pourus. That’s the medical end of things. As for the sexual part of the sex toy, this little guy will keep you looking large and hard for an extended period of time, and the removable bullet adds pleasure for your partner. It can be worn on top of your cock for stimulating her clit, or under the base of your balls stimulating your balls and your perineum.

3.) Pirates (3 Disc Set)

Sure this movie has been out for over four years, but it is still one of the porn industry’s highlights and well deserving of all the 11 AVN Awards it won. You don’t simply forget or dismiss Casablance because it was released in 1942, and with the all-star cast that combined plot, special effects, humor AND phenomenally smoking hot sex, Pirates is a most own movie. The three discs feature both standard DVD and WMV-HD DVD formats of the movie. Plus 16×9 widescreen format, bloopers, casting video, photo gallery, audio commentary with the stars, behind the scenes, visual FX making of, Pirates short, bios and trailers make it one of the few Collectors Edition DVDs (porn or not) that are truly worth owning.

4.) Fun Factory BodyFluid

A good lube is always necessary to have handy. Whether you are having fun with yourself, others or toys, Fun Factory’s 100ml of lubricant belongs in your bedstand. It is silicone based, has no taste or oder, and can also be used for massaging you partner. Even though it shouldn’t be used on silicone toys, it is safe for both vaginal and anal sex.

5.) Audrey Hollender Pile Driver Pussy and Ass

Yes, I know this comes with a hefty pricetag, butt… It’s Audrey Hollender. One of the latest and greatest to have her backside served by the biggest and best in the business. Molded from Audrey’s pussy and ass, using the realistic feeling CyberSkin and Dual Density Technology, it is both waterproof and phthalate free. It is one of the few, if any, toys that are molded as if Audrey was in a pile driver position, allowing for ultimate deep penetration of both her holes. Speaking of holes, both are hand painted and ribbed so not only do they look real, they feel real.

So there it is. A few of my handpicked selections for this month’s Featured Products for Men. Don’t forget to check me and my DVD reviews out over at DVDsandSexToys.com. And don’t worry. You can’t get rid of me that easily. I will be back later in the month with a few reviews. One for the Screaming O Plus and one for the Lovemoiselle Doriane Vibrator. Like most things at this job, there’s more good things to come.

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!

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.

We always try to select an eclectic mix of the best products to feature, so make sure you check back frequently to see what toys are currently rocking our worlds! There’s always something that’ll buzz away your blues or help you spice up girls night in!

Let me just start by saying there are a lot of freaking sex toys available today. I’m completely overwhelmed by the choices and this is my job. I can’t imagine what it’s like for someone who decides it’s time to purchase their toy. That’s why we’ve spent a ton of time picking out the best of the best for our Sex Toys For Women category. If that work saves one woman from buying the wrong toy, it was totally worth it.

Today I thought I’d highlight some of my favorite items in each sub-category including the Mia rechargeable vibe from Lelo. Every lady should own a great Clitoral toy and this is my current fav.  It has four great vibration modes, which is awesome, but the coolest thing is that it charges through a computer’s USB port.  It’s really a must have for any one who travels for business!

MIA is a discreet pleasure object carefully designed to combine versatility and convenience, intended for private enjoyment at all times.

This elegant lipstick vibrator nestles seductively in your handbag, her size and chargeability making her available whenever needed, whether on a long intercontinental flight or during a break on a busy day. Glossy and attractive, MIAs intuitive interface and four stimulation modes allow total control in the midst of ecstasy.

She is rechargeable and a 2-hour charge provides up to 4 hours of bliss. Comes presented in an elegant gift box, accessorised with extension cord for USB charging, manual and a 1-year LELO warranty.

Smart Balls

Maybe you’ve heard about the wonders of Kegel exercises and are in the market for a Pelvic Exerciser that will help you strengthen your PC muscle.  I remember the first time I considered purchasing one of these and how clueless I was so I’m happy to recommend Fun Factory’s Smart Balls for all of you who might be looking for a suggestion.  Besides the added health benefits of a stronger PC muscle, these are also a lot of fun!

One thing that sets the Smart Balls apart is that they are coated in hygenically superior silicone.  I also love the durable retrieval cord!

Finally, I want to talk about my new favorite dildo – The Curve from Tantus. I’ve been a big fan of Tantus’ silicone toys for a long time, but this recent addition has rekindled the passion in our relationship.  From it’s distinct curve to the new and improved flared base, I love every inch of this dong.

The Curve is the first of a new line of Tantus 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.

It’s a really versatile dildo that’s great for solo or partnered play.  Of course, silicone is phthalate-free, non-porous and can be sterilized.  While there are a ton of great toys in the Dildos for Women sub-category, this is the one I love the most!

Stay tuned for a follow up post in which I’ll take a look at the rest of the amazing choices in our Sex Toys for Women section.

Happy Halloweenie Costume

So you and your kinky friends are planning a Halloween get together, and everyone is going to be super sexy.  There’s no reason you can’t have some fun with that idea!  After all, one night each year you have a reason to get dressed up and go out in public to have some fun.  And you can take the Halloween fun behind closed doors.

Our Featured Products for Men category this month is loaded with fun accessories for Halloween.

To get started, you’ll need a great costume.  We suggest you consider becoming a productive “member” of society with the Halloweenie costume.

“Go ahead, be a dick!

Scratching your balls may be a little harder now! Sleeveless costume easily slides over head.

One size fits most. You will be the Happy Halloweenie for sure!”

You’ll get all the laughs with this hillarious get up, and your friends will envy your sense of humor.  We should note that while you may want laughs at the party, you can “stud up” a little for the afterglow.  The 9 Inch Perfect Penis Extension is a costume for your own member.  She’ll appreciate your new look!

“Made of soft rubber with a realistic look and feel. Straps help hold on the extension, designed to use with or without an erection. The rubber on these is about .25 inches thick.

This frightful monster is a perfect costume for your total package

These extensions are 2 inches wide on the outside and about 1.5 inches thick on the inside. Length to insert the penis is 6 and 7/8 inches.

Note: Actual color may vary.”

Other costume accessories fulfill two functions.  Those of you who like to play the role of Officer Love on Halloween could definitely use some cuffs!

Remember your Halloween entertainment as well.  We all know that Halloween is a perfect time for a scary movie.  What about “My Scary Movix” as an option?

My Scary Movix DVD

“Camping enthusiasts Aline, Sophie, Phil, and Tony head out on vacation. In their travels, sex addict Tony meets Shirley, a hot British traveler. He takes advantage of this meeting to have sex with her in front of everybody and to film their exploits, much to the annoyance of Sophie who expected being his only partner.

Later, they breakdown in the middle of nowhere. Phil and Tony are looking for help when they find a welcoming house of four young beauties. In order to excite the boys, they organize a delirious lesbian orgy before offering their bodies to the aroused males.

Could it be a jealous-raged plan Aline and Sophie have against their unfaithful boyfriends, or is there something darker?”

But why should only people dress up on Halloween?  You don’t want to go to the party?  No big deal!  Spend some quality time with your Cleopatra love doll.  She’s dressed like a princess and she’ll make you feel like a king!

“Her sex drive is historical, her beauty timeless, and even though, the Pharaohs worshiped her, slaves longed to serve her, she longs to please you.

Cleopatra Love Doll

The queen of the Nile, Egypt and hundreds of men’s hearts, now wants to make you her king or better yet, her sex slave. Be enchanted by her ability to command orgasmic climaxes anally, vaginally and even orally. Enjoy FREE lube samples enclosed.

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

Pandora by Vibratex

If all else fails, just open Pandora’s box and turn your Halloween into pure orgasmic bliss via an incredible prostate massage.

“Add some new stimulation to play time. Pandora is very similar to Vibratex’s amazing Dream Boat, but this toy is made with the boys in mind.

This prostate massager is perfectly shaped for stimulating that sensitive erogenous zone on men. It’s slender and long, smaller than most prostate toys, so it makes the ideal item for those who are just starting to explore anal pleasures. It features 7 different functions including surging and escalating.

Made out of medical grade silicone which is hygenically superior to rubber and jelly toys. The shaft is fully flexible and the tip is soft. Requires 3 button cell batteries which are included. The total length is 5 inches with an insertable length of 3.5 inches.

It could also be used by women who are looking for some G-Spot stimulation, and don’t want a large toy.”

Make this Halloween an awesome one by incorporating the best toys into all you do for the evening.  And remember to party safely.  Take along a tin of Four Seasons and have a great night!

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.

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!

Trojan ENZ

If you want to add an extra level of protection to condom use, one sure winning idea is to get a condom with spermicide.  Not only do you get good protection against disease, you also get protection against unwanted pregnancy.  Trojan ENZ condoms come with a spermicide for that extra level of protection.

From Trojan:

“This product combines a latex condom and a spermicidal lubricant.

The spermicide, Nonoxynol-9, reduces the number of active sperm, thereby decreasing the risk of pregnancy if erection is lost before withdrawal and some semen spills outside the condom. However, the extent of decreased risk has not been established. This condom should not be used as a substitute for the combined use of a vaginal spermicide and a condom.

If used properly, latex condoms will help to reduce the risk of transmission of HIV infection (AIDS) and many other sexually transmitted diseases.
