New Arrivals: Bo

Bo

We’ve talked about Bo, after it won an AVN Novelty Award.  Now you can get Bo for your own play time.  You’ll love the buzz this will add to your bedroom.

ID Theft and a Small Penis

Monday, August 24th, 2009
No need to steal for a good time

No need to steal for a good time

Does size matter that much?  Apparently, one Pennsylvania man was willing to spend a good deal of money – other people’s money – to get some extra inches.  Or at least to try to get some extra inches.

From Fox Philly:

“A Lehigh County man admits he stole ID’s then racked up thousands in bills for penis enlargements.  39-year-old Jose Amid Juarbe pleaded guilty to dozens of charges, including identity theft and forgery.

Police say Juarbe stole the identities of eight people and ran up $80,000 of bills in their names. Some of the money was used to buy penis enlargements for him and a friend and breast implants for two women.”

Here’s a friendly tip: An inch or two more isn’t worth a lengthy jail sentence.

The End of Condoms?

Friday, August 21st, 2009
In the meantime

In the meantime

Yes, you read the title correctly.  It seems that researchers have found a way to eliminate the need for condoms and the results could be a paradigm shift in women’s sexual health.  What if women could protect themselves in a simple way without needing a partner’s (consentual or otherwise) permission?  In some places, that sounds like a stupid statement.  In others, it’s a matter of life and death.

From Newsweek:

“A new, more-promising iteration of the long-heralded HIV-blocking vaginal gel may one day become a reality, according to a study published online yesterday in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. But as the dream product crawls towards the marketplace, scientists worry that the biggest challenge—getting women to actually use it, or any gel like it—still lies ahead.

Unlike previous versions of microbicide, the latest gel functions more like an actual condom. It’s applied via applicator in the hour or so before sex and turns semisolid in the presence of semen, physically blocking HIV (and theoretically, other viruses and semen, too) from moving through the vagina in the first place. (The gel dissolves after sex.) “It’s the first microbicide of its kind,” says Patrick Kiser, a bioengineer at the University of Utah and the study’s lead author. “It prevents the virus from even touching the vaginal tissue.” The novel polymer concoction could see its first clinical trial in three years and if all goes well, be available for widespread use a few years after that.

The need for HIV-prevention methods that women can control is undeniably urgent. Women account for half of all HIV infections globally; in sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease is most prevalent, they make up 60 percent of cases. The reason is simple: women in the region lack the power to compel their sexual partners to wear condoms. For a decade now, scientists have been working to develop an HIV-blocking vaginal gel, a microbicide often called a molecular condom. This form of protection could be employed without the consent of a partner and has long been seen as the best hope for empowering women to protect themselves.”

In the meantime, we strongly suggest the use of a condom for protection.

She took his dildo

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Time for a little more news of the weird.  This one comes from Florida, where a “messy” breakup led to a stolen dildo and police involvement.  But the details are just, well, bizarre.

A great dildo for well under 70 bucks

A great dildo for well under 70 bucks

From the Sun Sentinel:

“Things are getting naughty in Niceville.  We’re talking about a stolen….dildo.  Yes, cops were called to a Niceville home on Buddy Phelps Road about the missing sex toy, reports the Northwest Florida Daily News.

The guy who lived there said a woman had lived with him for about a week. But when she left, she snatched his $70 dildo.  The cop asked him if he’d bought it for the woman.  The guy said “yes” — as well as with other women, too.”

I’ll agree with the columnist who reacted to that tidbit with “Yuck!”  For crying out loud, don’t steal a used dildo.  Buy your own dildo and leave the “yuck” out of your love life, no matter how bizarre that love life might get.

V Ring 7 Deluxe

V Ring 7 Deluxe

Ophoria makes great vibrators, and many people love them.  Bliss vibes really do bring the blissful feelings for users.  So it makes sense that they’d expand into the competitive vibrating cock ring market.  We have some of their vibrating rings in stock now, like the V Ring 7 Deluxe.

From Ophoria:

“The V ring 7 is a small disposable vibrating cock ring made of pure phthalate-free silicone material. Stylish raised designs like a large clitoral bump and a small knot handle for sliding it on add pleasure and comfort during use.

To use, simply squeeze the sides of the top until vibration begins; squeeze again to shut off. The included batteries provide approximately 40 minutes of enjoyable vibration, after which the bullet can be removed and replaced with a favorite mini bullet (not included) if desired.

Soft silicone stretches to fit almost any wearer and can be washed with soap and water once the bullet is removed. Use only water-based lubricants with this toy.

Color: Blue Type: Vibrating Silicone Cock Ring Material: Silicone, Plastic Diameter (unstretched): 1 1/2in Diameter (stretched): 2 1/4in Batteries: Included, Disposable Length: 3in Width: 1 3/4in Weight: 2 o (in package).”

Ninn Worx on Sextoys.com

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I LOVE Michael Ninn’s artistic porno movies. He captures the most beautiful women in the world doing lots of dirty stuff that I can’t get enough of. We recently added a ton of Ninn Worx titles, include the amazing Through Her Eyes, and I had to make sure you knew we had them!

eyes

2008 AVN Award Nominee for Best All-Girl Sex Scene – Video.

You’re in the depths of Europe. It’s cold and gray outside. It’s winter. Your bathrobe is really dirty, and you don’t have cable TV. While that may not be the typical “description” of a movie that you’ve come to expect here, this release is far from usual – even for Ninn Worx.

As Michael’s European players attempt to “tune in” significantly sunnier scenarios than the Prague skyline can really provide, the players (all U.S. here, by the way) do what they do that define them as “talent” in the industry.

This time around Michael uses recent Ninn favorite Faith Leon to serve as his catalyst for sexual exploits, and she does her typical extraordinary job. Supported by the brawn and beauty you’ve grown to expect from Ninn Worx, this release hearkens back to some of Michael’s earliest work with stunning imagery presented via bizarre connection.

Bottom line, even if you don’t fully comprehend the “plot” of Through Her Eyes, you’ll understand why Michael chooses them as his vehicle, and in the final analysis of XXX, that’s what really matters. Heck, we’re still trying to figure out the fat guy in Catherine.

A Slight Waste of Time?

You will need these

You will need these

If you’ve read this blog for a while, you know that we are big fans of research in many subjects.  Our goal is to provide information to you that improves your understanding of sexual health and the positive benefits of healthy sexuality.  But every once in a while, we stumble across a “duh” moment from the world of science that makes us scratch our heads and ask why they even bothered.

A headline from Health Magazine led to just such an occassion this weekend.  The article was titled “When It Comes to Casual Sex, Men Aren’t so Picky.”  If ever there was a “duh” moment, there you have it.  Apparently researchers spent time and money to prove the most obvious assertion I’ve read in a while.

Here is the crux of the study:

“The 427 men were more likely than the 433 women to agree to casual sex, and the men expressed a greater desire for it than women. The study also found that the men were more likely to go out, go to the apartment, and go to bed with members of the opposite sex in all three categories of attractiveness.

Men needed to be exceptionally attractive to tempt women to consider casual sex, said Dr. Achim Schutzwohl, of the department of psychology at the University of Brunel in the U.K., and colleagues.”

Now that we’ve cleared that up, I know I’ll sleep easier.  If you’re going to engage in casual sex, remember to have your condom at the ready.  Good grief but those scientists must have been bored…

Gee Whizzard!

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

gee-whizzard- Women around the world love the Hitachi Magic Wand.  This super powerful vibe has been providing us with mind-blowing orgasms since it’s inception.  As I’m sure many of you know, there are also a number of attachements available that turn this super vibe into a powerful penetrating toy.

I’ll be honest and say I don’t actually own any.  While I am intrigued, they all look a little generic.  While they may be amazing, I’ve always thought they were a little uninspired until I saw Vixen Creations’ Gee Whizzard!

This whimsical attachment is absolutely gorgeous, but what’s even better is that it looks like someone put a lot of thought into a woman’s pleasure when designing it!  The bulbous shaft looks delicious and they even included clit stimulating bumps for external stimulation!

A luxurious and pleasurable upgrade to the wildly popular hitachi magic wand vibrator, this hitachi accessory is a silicone cap designed to slip snugly onto the head and increase enjoyment. Soft, sumptuous silicone is body friendly, and can be boiled to sterilize.

The Gee Whizzard cap offers a bulb-texture gently curved shaft that transmits the powerful hitachi vibrations internally and against the G-spot or prostate. A special clitoral bump at the end of the shaft offers even more texture to enhance your experience.

A rounded tip slides in easily, and can be used with any water-based lubricant for even more fun. The back of the Gee Whizzard also features a double row of raised rounded nubs in a v shape for non-penetrative masturbation. Beautiful green marbling throughout makes this sexy hitachi cap as lovely to look at as it is to use.
