Last Sunday we announced our first contest in the Sunday Sex Toy Review.  Screaming O was kind enough to provide the prizes, including the award winning Screaming Octopus as a first prize.  The contest was simple; write a description of an orgasm in ten words or less.  But it isn’t easy getting literary traction on the orgasm with only ten words.

That’s why we appreciate everyone who submitted an entry.  The entries ranged from intense to humorous, and we enjoyed reading them all.  We’re listing the top three entries, who all win prizes, followed by seven honorable mentions.  Again, we appreciate everyone who entered and hope that you’ll enter our contests in the near future.

On that note, check back soon for our “Toys for the Boys” contest.  The last note we have to mention, if you are one of the top three, send us a note with your real name and shipping address so that we can send your toy!  And now for the announcement of the winners:

Today is the last day to enter our Screaming O Orgasm Contest, and if you want a great reason to enter, listen to what HotmoviesForHer has to say about the Screaming O Intimacy Kit:

Screaming O Intimacy Kit

“I know I always start my reviews by saying how excited I was to take the toy home and try it out, but the Ovation Intimacy Kit takes the cake. I put the small box on my desk and dumped the contents out and boy was I surprised by all the stuff they packed in there! I have to admit I’ve never used a vibrating cock ring before and I was hoping all the good things I had heard would come true for me too.

My boyfriend has also never tried a vibrating cock ring, so he wasn’t sure he would like it. Once I took the vibrating cock ring out of the package and he realized how flexible and rubbery it was, he was ready to go. We used one of the condoms that came in the kit as well as the lube. I slipped the cock ring on, flipped the vibrating switch and went to town. We were going to reference some of the positions the packet instructed, but we decided to wing it instead. Later we realized that the packet lists pretty basic positions that most people already know about anyway.”

Sextoys - How does a new product design get to the market and what kind of testing do you do beforehand?

Keith Caggiano – We have a white board spilling over with new design concepts, we select what we think would be the next projects to fit into the line, I usually hand sketch them up a few times, they then go into a CAD design process which we continue to refine. From there we are able to have samples made where we can see how the concept actually works all together, we work with the right type of materials till we get it right and then it’s off to the famous Screaming O product testing team to give us feed back.

Sextoys – Does Screaming O have designs that fail? What constitutes failure? Is that totally market driven?

Keith Caggiano – We have been very fortunate that all of our products have been successful with in the niche that they were intended. Some of course are big volume sellers and others were designed for a more specific taste or customer. It most cases we will look to update packaging and the communication of the message to enhance the success of the product.

Sextoys - Speaking of kits, The O Boy Vibrating Safe Sex Quickie Kit is a relatively new one that is marketed to gay men. First, as advocates of safer sex, thanks for the inclusion of a condom! Secondly, do you plan on expanding your efforts in reaching out to the LGBT community?

Keith Caggiano – Funny you mention this we just released what we are calling the “(not-so) ambiguously gay duo” which is the O Boy Vibrating Quickie kit and the new up sell item to that the O Man™ vibrating ring with replaceable batteries. Our RingO’s have already become very popular for that market as well.

Sextoys - We really appreciate your expertise and time. Is there anything else you’d like to pass along to our readers?

Keith Caggiano – The Screaming O line is designed to continuously add new variations to sex so if you have tried the a Screaming O, try out some of the other ones to and you’ll be sure to be screaming O Honey, O Boy, O Man, O Wow or O Yeah. And as always Keep ‘em Screaming!
