So what is a teddy, anyway?

Coquette International Mesh Teddy

Coquette International Mesh Teddy

A Teddy is a one piece, snug fitting garment that is similar to a leotard, body suit or one piece bathing suit.  Some cover the entire torso, while others reveal more skin.  You will commonly find teddies with, but not limited to, a plunging or halter neck line.  Often, they will have a snap crotch for easy removal and access.  Some even have an open crotch for instant access!  You may also find some with open cups or a peek-a-boo top for those who like to reveal more than just a little skin.  They may come with various strap or lace up embellishments.  Teddies are made from a variety of materials, most commonly fishnet, lace, Lycra and mesh.

Ladies, I love to sleep in a giant t-shirt and boxer shorts as much as anyone else.  Before it’s time to count sheep, slip into something a little sexier and turn up the heat during play time.  It’s fun to play dress up anyway!

Food for Sex

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
Banana Sex!
Banana Sex! by Beckii on Polyvore.com

Two of my favorite things in the universe: food and sex.  Why not add a few foods to your diet that may elevate your need to do the deed?  Women’s Health Magazine has a few suggestions for some eatables that just might improve your sex life.

Bananas“A big banana is the perfect food for bedroom endurance: Bananas contain B vitamins, which are key for converting carbohydrates into energy and are believed to help manufacture sex hormones such as testosterone.”  Keep the hanky panky sessions going all night long while decreasing the chance for muscle cramps.  The potassium in monkey fruit helps ward off nasty cramps that occur during exercise and even sex!

Celery‘”Raw celery contains the male hormone androsterone, which can act as a pheromone to trigger female attraction,” says Ava Cadell, Ph.D., author of Passion Power. After a few bites, his sweat glands start releasing the pheromone. If you’re feeling too cranky to fool around, nibble a stalk yourself — androsterone has mood-elevating effects in women, according to the Journal of Fertility and Sterility. Your man not a celery fan? Add a few truffle shavings to his meal. Truffles boast even more androsterone — enough for female pigs to detect the precious mushrooms growing as deep as 3 feet underground.’  Celery is one of the only 2 veggies that I just can’t tolerate.  I’ll take the truffles.

Dark Chocolate“A recent Italian study found that women who report eating chocolate on a daily basis claim to have more satisfying sex lives. Coincidence? We think not. Willy Wonka’s favorite raw material contains a cocktail of chemicals linked to relaxation, intoxication, and pleasure, Dr. Hutcherson says. Like other sweets, chocolate triggers the release of feel-good endorphins. It also provides small amounts of anxiety-quelling tryptophan…”  In ridiculously large quantities, chocolate can even act as a psychedelic drug! 

Flaxseeds ‘Just 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds a day helps increase testosterone — the chemical with the most direct libido-boosting effect, according to Helen Fisher, Ph.D., author of Why We Love and a WH advisor. Besides enhancing sex drive, these nutty-flavored seeds contain essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, which are the major building blocks of all sex hormones. “If you don’t have enough fatty acids, your hormone levels may decrease, and so will your desire,” Dr. Hutcherson says.’  You don’t have to eat a spoonful of straight flaxseeds.  Sprinkle them over your cereal or blend them up in smoothie.  I happen to be one of those weirdo’s who likes the taste.  Want to get it over quickly?  Swallow a spoonful of flaxseed oil.  It’s not fun, but it does the job.

The article says to forget the lingerie.  I say, eat these foods while wearing lingerie!  What’s sexier than a lady eating a banana in a teddy?

Showing Some Love to the Experts

Delicious Body Friendly Lube

Delicious Body Friendly Lube

Looking for some good reading material?  Go over to the sextoys . com blog and check out what the experts had to say.

Sarah has some great advice on flavored lubes.  “Any time you see that a lube has sugar in it, no matter how good it tastes, do not put it near your junk.  Sugar = yeast infection nine times out of ten and that’s bound to put a damper on your sex life.”

Bill also has some great insight on the topic what “every man/women should (fill in the blank)”.  “Here’s a tip to remember when you think about purchasing a sex toy: If you begin a question to yourself with ‘Should all,’ or ‘Should every,’ or any other variation of that theme, the answer is almost always no.”

Enjoy!

April Flores is a work of art, whether she is dressed and posed for the camera or in the nude working her on camera magic. Her delectable curves, flirtatious smile and alluring eyes are enough inspire anyone – either to pick up a paintbrush or a bottle of lube.

Eight of LA’s top artists have used a plaster mold of her Voluptuous Pussy by Topco as canvas to create their own work on her nether regions. The Exhibit is moving from LA to the Polk Street Gallery in San Francisco for a showing on September 16. It is part of the Good Vibrations’ 2009 Indie Erotic Film Fest and is a DVD pre-release celebration for Glamazons, “an artistically explicit DVD from Heartcore Films”. Can you guess who will be featured in this film?

Visit Sarah so you can take a peek at the exhibit and find out more about the event. She wishes she could be there and so do I!

Toy Review: I Rub My Fishie

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Fishie

First, I used a duck to pleasure myself.  This time I used a fish.  Perhaps I should be questioning my morals here, but I am not. 

I did indeed Rub My Fishie.

This review is not meant to be a comparison between the I Rub My Duckie and The Fishie.  However, I do have to mention that this bug eyed Koi toy was much much much easier to turn on than the duck.  Give the sides a healthy squeeze and you are on your way to vibrating fish land.  The material on the power area feels softer than the rest of the toy.  Thanks for taking care of that!

Once I got passed the fact that it looked like I was about to masturbate with a cartoon character, I enjoyed the I Rub My Fishie.  The strongest vibrations were in the bulging behemopthic eyeballs.  Those oculi had a smooth texture that was oh so satisfying.  Conveniently, the tail fin made an easy to grip handle.  It was then that I realized these people weren’t just trying to make a cute toy; they really put some thought into this guy.  Nice job!

The high intensity eyes go to be a little much.  This vibe technically only has one speed.  However, using different parts of the fish body allowed me to experience different vibration sensations.  The tail fin was the second highest vibration level.  Its thin shape makes for more pinpointed stimulation.  Note: at this point, I still had to remind myself that an activist group for fish-rights wasn’t going to come after me for indecent behavior.

The mouth of the fishie was my favorite part.  There was a medium level of vibration and I was able to hold on to his big eyeballs with both hands.  It provided me with the right stimulation in all of the right areas.  Let’s just say PETA could have been knocking down my door and I wouldn’t have cared.

I love my I Rub My Fishie!  He is not just a cute fish, he is functional, fun and he gets the job done. 

P.S.  Yes, he is waterproof.

Toy Review: Smart Balls

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Smart Balls:  A brand new experience.ReviewBall

Who makes them:  Awesome people at Fun Factory.

What they do:  Train the PC, or the pubococcygeus muscles.  This is the scientific name for the vaginal muscles.    They also stimulate and massage!

Inserting and Removing:  Both took a good deal of effort and a healthy squeeze of lube.  Once the Smart Balls are in, they are happy to stay and make themselves at home.  When removing, I grabbed on to the loop and played a gentle game of tug of war with my vaginal muscles.  I won, but not without a struggle.  It was not in any way painful, just surprising.  I didn’t mind.  The removal of the balls is an addition to the exercise and I was happy to know that I was well on my way to having super buff naughty bits. 

When I wore them the first time:  I pranced around the house a few times wondering what was going to happen.  The sensation was faint but pleasant.  After a few laps around the couch I got out my LayaSpot.  It is already an amazing vibrator, but the Smart Balls took my self love experience to the next level.  I liked how they provided a sense of fullness without having to use my hands to hold on to another toy.  That moment of toe curling ecstasy was intensified times 100.  My boyfriend had to peel a semi-liquified gelatinous version of me from the couch when he got home from work.

When I wore them the second time:  I wore them for a few hours at a good friend’s wedding serenade (big block party with copious amounts of food, adult beverages and entertainment).  I was a bit nervous that they may start to bother me or push out.  They didn’t.  At times I just enjoyed the live band while eating and drinking merrily.  Other times I was conscious to contract my muscles so I could get a bit of exercise in without anyone knowing.  About every half hour my boyfriend took pleasure in asking me if I was still wearing the balls.  It was our little secret and a fun one at that!  As I said before the sensation was faint, but pleasant.  Every now and then I could feel a hint of stimulation.

Not just an intense O:  While I love intensified orgasms, there are also many health benefits that can be gained from using Smart Balls and doing any type of Kegal exercise.  This was simply a review of my experience with a great product.  It has me intrigued and a bit obsessed with the PC muscles.  Check back soon for more about these muscles and why women and men alike should work them out.

How much I like Smart Balls: I don’t like them, I love them.

Antique Erotica

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Who loves porn?  It’s ok to admit it, I know I do.  We have been adding a lot of it to the site and we’re pretty excited about it.  Sarah is very happy announce that we now have a bunch of Miacheal Ninn titles, including Through Her Eyes, 2008 AVN Award Nominee for Best All-Girl Sex Scene. 

Porn is great in all, ok so maybe not all, but in many of its forms.  I love it.  However, I am fascinated by anything captured on 8MM film.  Sure, you’ll find a ton of movies from the 60′s, 70′s and even the 80′s on 8MM.  They are special in their own way; especially when you get to see the early work of legends like John Holmes.  You’ll even catch stars like Candy Samples and Ron Jeremy getting down on film without sound.   

What I really love are the films that were created before the term porn star meant anything.  Movies with people whose names you’ll never know, doing all of the naughty things we do today.  They even used dildos!  Anything from the early 1900′s through the 1950′s intrigues me.  There are many reasons; the mystery of not knowing who they are, the lack of breast implants, the sepia tone and/or black and white vision, the vintage hair styles and clothing, the list could go on.     

AnEroticaI am thrilled about the Antique Erotica Videos we have added!  They have been put on DVD for your viewing convenience.

Antique Erotica 10. This steamy collection of vintage porn gives you a look at how they did the dirty deed in the good old days! Couples, threeways and lesbian lust are on display for your pleasure. The efforts of these early erotic film makers are as hot today as they were when they were made.

Even the box covers are absolutely divine.  Take a gander at all of the old-new movies we have added and enjoy a little porn from the age when people got down and dirty on film just because they could.

Advice From An Intern: Lingerie

Monday, August 17th, 2009

So the intern has something to say?  Not THAT intern.  This intern has spent a lot of time dealing with our Erotic Clothing section and she has a bit of advice for you.

Choosing lingerie ahh.. What a fun thing to do!

As women we take pride in what we wear underneath our clothes.  What we wear can change the way we think and feel.  When you’re wearing your cute little black lace thong under you skinny jeans at work, you feel sexy and confident.

But, how do you choose the right lingerie for you I know it seems so complicated, because we want it all.  We browse through millions of different styles and colors as we lust for everything that catches our eyes.  However, we can’t be too greedy!  We are in a recession and can’t max out our credit cards on every color and style of lingerie.  I know, I know – if we could we would, but it’s simply not rational.

As a new intern I have seen just about every type of lingerie you could imagine.  You have everything from leather to body stockings, and feathers to fishnets.  I’m telling you there is a perfect set made for every lady out there.

So, take your time as you look through all of the cute, luscious, sensual, and sassy lingerie. Simply choose the style that you feel fits your personality.  You may have a big shopping cart of pieces you absolutely love but now you have to narrow it down.  Ask yourself, what would my partner like?  And what will I wear the most?  And most importantly, what’s going to make me look and feel the hottest!  Think sexy but classy; flirty and fun.

I choose the Pink Tube Dress with Fringe, because it fits me.  When I look at this I think to myself – pure perfection, it suits me perfectly, it is bright, alive, and fun just like me!  It still has an edgy, kinky, seductive side to it.  It reminds me of cheerleader meets rock star.
