I love picking our Featured Products. It is a mixture of a few of my favorites, stuff I want and a few products that are essential to just about anyone’s toys collection. Today I am here to talk a little about Featured Products For Couples.

G Force by Tantus – I am going to write an official review soon, so I’m not going to give away too much here. I still want to highlight the G Force as a great product for couples. This toy gets the job done during solo use, but wow, it is magical when it comes to partnered play. The curved shaft and easy to grip handle make it so. If you and your lucky someone are into g-spot play, you need this toy! Like all fabulous Tantus products it is made from 100% silicone. This makes it phthalates free, hypoallergenic and can be sterilized (boil or 10% bleach solution). Including the handle, the G Force has a total length of 10.3 inches and a diameter of 1.4 inches.

Dual Shower Head by Sportsheets – How many times have you gotten hot and heavy in the shower, only to realize you are freezing your ass off? One person gets all of the warm water and the other is getting it on with goose bumps. Sexy! Sure, you take one for the team and focus on the task at hand, but wouldn’t another shower head make it better? Yes, it would. Every girl likes to stay wet during sex.

Basic Handcuffs by Kinklab – Handcuffs are essential to any kinky couple’s arsenal of play things. Kinklab is known for creating high quality, durable products that are bondage beginner friendly, but good enough for those who engage in the freakiest of deeds.

“These durable, sturdy steel cuffs are single lock (only one cuff has a keyhole) and come with a set of keys to release your prisoner when you’d like a conjugal visit. A short 3-link connecting chain ensures restricted movement, and a super adjustable fit allows for comfortably secure enjoyment.”

Make sure you check out all of our Featured Products For Couples. You just might find something to make your sex life a whole lot better.

I am a sucker for good bath and body products. 

My skin is so sensitive.  Sometimes I think it needs a therapist.  Just look at it the wrong way and it gets a big fat attitude.  Itchiness, dryness, oiliness, redness.  You know, the sexy stuff.  It is no surprise that I have to avoid things like glycerin and parabens that are found in many lubes and bath products.  Short story: If you have skin allergies, parabens will exasperate the reaction.  If you’re prone to yeast infections, products containing glycerin will give you one.

I was perusing the sextoys . com blog and noticed that Sarah reviewed Sensual body Soufflé by Intimate Organics.  You should definitely give it a read.  I can always trust her to give her honest opinion and I totally dig that!  Here is a little of what she had to say:

“This is the kind of product you can use every day or save for special nights.  I’ve been applying it after showers for a couple of weeks now and have to say that I love the way it makes my skin feel.  It’s not as quite as thick as I expected, but it leaves my skin feeling silky and goes on quick.”

If Sarah likes this stuff, it has to be decent.  All Intimate Organics products are glycerin and paraben free.  This includes massage oils and balms, foam baths, foot lotion a lovely water based lubricant and more.  They have a few aromatherapy lines so you can feel sensual, get energized or relax.  I’m into it.

Included in our Featured Products for Couples is the Cocoa Bean and Goji Berry Massage Balm.  Oils tend to make me feel a bit like I have been rolling around in a pile of french fries, so I’m feeling the balm aspect here.

“The perfect massage accompaniment to those who dislike the messiness of liquid oils, Intimate Organics massage balm combines all the silky feel of oil with moisturizing shea butter for an amazing feel and performance.

Simply dispense the desired amount from the handy tube, and glide on your partner’s skin with firm strokes. They’ll enjoy the sensual massage, and you’ll both love the beautiful aromatic scent.”

Don’t forget to check out Sarah’s review.  Also, don’t forget to look for paraben and glycerin free products.  Your skin and naughty bits will thank you.

It seems as though Sharon has a bit of a crush on Dinky Digger.  No surprise there; he is made of 100% silicone, is phthalates free, hypoallergenic nonporous and promises poweful vibrations.  You know, the stuff that “dreams are made of”.  Read her letter below to see just what she thinks about the cute little green vibe.

Good luck to all who entered!

Glass dildos are among the most popular sex toys on the market.  Ever since their appearance on a variety of HBO specials, they have been flying off the shelves like hot cakes.  Not that I have ever seen a hot cake fly.  I only recently discovered all of the gloriousness that glass has to offer.  I love it and you will too. 

Many consider glass dildos to be a staple in their toy collection, however many women cringe at the thought of putting glass inside their beloved pink parts. 

Thought process: glass –> broken glass –> vagina –> no thanks. 

This isn’t a completely irrational thought process.  However, glass dildos are not made from the same glass that your dishes are made of.  They are made from borosilicate, acrylic or lucite.  Borosilicate is also known as Pyrex.  It is considered to be a soft glass, but it is by no means fragile.  It is in its soft molten state when it is being molded and sculpted.  Pyrex is tempered, which means it is put through a process of extreme heating and cooling.  This makes it 4 to 5 times stronger than standard glass and will not shatter.  It is possible to chip your Pyrex dildo, but highly unlikely.  Acrylic is also an extremely durable shatterproof material.  A crack may occur, but is also unlikely.

Does that ease your mind?  It should.  Glass dildos and your vagina can and should be friends.  Good friends.  And not just because they won’t spontaneously explode during an intense solo session. 

Glass dildos are oh so satisfying.  Since they are firm, they are perfect for g-spot and prostate stimulation.  Once a dab of lube is applied, the smooth surface makes for pleasurable external warm up.  Glass is also ideal for temperature play.  Submerse in warm or cool water and in no time you can add a whole new element to toy time.  Why temperature play?  It doesn’t take a scientist to know that warmth simply feels nice.  It encourages the clitoris to engorge quickly, which induces natural lubrication and heightens arousal.  Placing a cold object on your naughty bits may sound less than sexy, but it does serve a purpose.  Cold can act as a reset button for the clitoris.  It calms the nerves and constricts the blood vessels.  Many women find that this gets them ready for round 2 in a matter of minutes.  Some simply enjoy the sensation.  Never warm your glass dildo in the microwave!  

Glass feels great, but you should definitely know your dildo size.  If you purchase one that is too large, your pretty new toy will be useless to you.  There is no give when it comes to glass.  Think about it.

When purchasing a glass dildo you are also purchasing a little handmade work of art.  While they can be the cause of many fabulous orgasms, they also look gorgeous just sitting on the coffee table.  

Glass toys are nonporous and 100% hypoallergenic so there is no need to worry about any allergic reactions.  They are totally body safe and perfect for those who have latex or other allergies.  Avoid painted glass.  Any color should be embedded in the glass.  Another awesome feature – you can use either water based or silicone based lubricant.  Unlike silicone toys, the silicone lube will not eat away at the toy.  Since glass is nonporous, it will not absorb the lube.  A little really does go a long way here. 

If treated with care, your glass dildo will last a life time.  Simply wash with soap and water.  Store your toy in the padded pouch that most manufacturers include with your dildo.  There are no pores for bacteria to hide in, so glass will not naturally break down and become an oddly shaped gelatinous mess.

Glass dildos can get pretty pricey, but you can find a quality glass dildo for around $30.  Don Wands makes a ton of attractive and satisfying glass products that won’t break the bank.  No excuses!  Get your glass dildo.  You can thank me later.

It is incredibly easy to get into a bedroom routine.  You engage in just enough foreplay to get everyone ready for a zombie-like session of intercourse.  You’re bored with yourself, but uninspired.  You want your sex life to be more exciting, but you’re tired, you’re stressed, you have to wake up early, you don’t have time, you have more important things to worry about, blah blah blah.  Well, get over yourself!  Foreplay doesn’t have to be complicated.  You can get as creative as you want, but it is often the simple things that put the life back in your Night of the Living Dead.

Take it back to the old school:

Kissing:  Deep passionate kisses can get the mood going in just the right direction.  The intense intimacy allows the excitement to build before the clothes come off.  If you have been in a relationship for a long time, making out is a great way to rekindle the puppy love.  It’s not just for teenagers!

Flirting:  At times, flirting is just flirting.  It may only get you a blushing face or a giggle.  However, if that flirt eventually leads you to the bedroom, then it can be foreplay too!  Flirting is another classic activity that is perfect for those in long term relationships.  Comment on how great your gal’s rear end looks in those new jeans.  Check her or him out.  Make them feel like they are just the bee’s knees.  That make out session should follow shortly thereafter. 

• Flirting is awesome because you can do it just about anywhere: at the grocery store, at a fancy restaurant, over the phone, at a PTA meeting, you get the idea.  Getting all hot in bothered in public adds another fun layer to foreplay.

Touch: Exploring all of the shapes and nuances that the body has to offer is incredibly erotic.  Allow your hands to enjoy the soft texture of the skin, the muscle definitions and even those deliciously jiggly areas.  You can feel the sexual energy oozing from their body while transferring yours to them.  Pay attention to their reactions as you caress various regions of the body.  The curve in the back and the arch of the foot might be some seriously sensitive hot spots.  I personally want nothing more than to fall asleep after an intense massage.  You can pretty much count me as useless.  However, many boast that a massage is the perfect way to start off a romantic evening of sexual bliss.  Light some candles and grab the massage oil to really set the mood.

Toys: Now you knew this was coming.  It is in fact my job to tell you how awesome sex toys are.  I will have you know that I have no problem professing how awesome “adult products” are regardless of who signs my paycheck.  I’ll get to the point: Vibrators are perfect for teasing.  You don’t have to go straight for the clitoris either.  Tickling the inner thighs, and following the perimeter of her naughty bits just might have her pawing at you like a wild kitty cat.  Light kink items are also great to add to your arsenal of foreplay.  Activities involving blindfolds and soft core restraints will drive your lover wild.  Tickle, tease and please without your other knowing what your next move will be.  Give a little and take it all back.  Just be ready for one intense steamy hot bed rattling night of naughtiness when you really get your hands on each other. 

Of course you can use your imagination when it comes to foreplay.  You can take some of these basic ideas and go wild.  This is just a reminder that the simple things can get the zombies out of your bedroom.  Not that I don’t love zombies; they have their place.  You know, like in George Romero movies.

Of course I’m going to hop on my soap box and give you my opinion this one.  It just so happens to reside somewhere in that gray area: most of the time.  Tease and titillation intensifies the mood and in some cases can be more pleasurable than the actual act of getting it on.  For many women, working up to doing the deed can take some time.  There is no “I’m at work/I’m ready for naughtiness” switch for your mental state or your body.

WebMD quotes an icon in the world of sexual health, “It’s particularly important for women to have successful foreplay because it takes a woman a longer time [than a man] to get up to the level of arousal needed to orgasm,” says “Dr. Ruth” Westheimer, EdD, a psychosexual therapist, professor at New York University, and lecturer at Yale and Princeton universities.

A man can just think about sex and have an erection, but for most women, wanting sex is not enough, says Westheimer. Foreplay serves a physical and emotional purpose, helping prepare both mind and body for sex. Many women need to be kissed, hugged, and caressed to create lubrication in the vagina, which is important for comfortable intercourse.”

Dr. Ruth has been educating the masses in the ways of “sexual literacy” since before many of us were born.  She knows a thing or two about what goes down in the bedroom.

Foreplay can even be the main event.  You may think that the toys, oral sex and dirty talk will eventually lead to intercourse.  There is nothing wrong with extended play sessions without intercourse.  If you are hitting all of the right spots with everything except for what is in your pants; well that’s ok too.  

However, we are in fact hanging out in the gray area.  There are those times when a quickie is possible and necessary.  Sometimes you wake up and you’re ready to go.  No foreplay or pleasantries needed.  Maybe you’re expecting company and you need to take care of business.  Perhaps you have simply had hanky panky on your mind all day; you’re hot and bothered and ready to get right to the point.  Depending on the time off the month, you may be producing tons of estrogen and be feeling incredibly eager to do the mattress mambo.  No one says you have to light the candles and get a full body massage before it’s time to get down to brass tax.

When in doubt, ask.  It is always safe to start with a little foreplay.  Pay attention to body language.  Unless you know for sure your partner is up for a wham bam, a warm up is best.  Listen to Dr. Ruth, “foreplay serves a physical and emotional purpose, helping prepare both mind and body for sex.”  A vibrator or a little massage oil can get your evening going in all of the right directions.
