Sex Tips

Make a Blow Job Better

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:12:28 GMT

Make a blow job even hotter by adding a simple ingredient — eye contact!

Tease Yourself to Orgasm

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 13:52:00 GMT

Tease yourself, build up sexual energy slowly by getting close to orgasm, then backing away to intensify the climax. Give yourself enough time with your vibrator, your sweetheart, or both to reach new heights.

Rock the G-Spot

Sun, 11 Mar 2012 14:52:18 GMT

When looking to achieve G-spot stimulation, try inserting your toy about one and a half inches into the vagina and use an up and down rocking motion rather than an in and out motion. Rock your toy up towards the navel, massaging the G-spot area. Many women find this to be an ideal technique!

A Wand Built for Two

Sat, 10 Mar 2012 14:51:00 GMT

Bring the Magic Wand into your lovemaking. The Magic Wand is smooth and symmetrical, which makes it relatively comfortable to lie down on. Find a comfortable position by using a pillow to prop up the vibe. When your partner enters you from behind, he will feel the vibration through his penis, or she will catch the buzz through her dildo.

Bathtub Fun

Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:57:00 GMT

Run the bathwater (with the temperature set to your liking) until the depth is about six inches. Put the faucet on low, and position yourself so it's running on your clitoris. As the sensation grows, turn the faucet on harder. You'll have an orgasm in no time!

(This rocks. But as a college student, we have no bathtubs, so my boyfriend bought me a ShowerBabe, which is awesome.)

Sexual Spontaneity

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 11:45:40 GMT

Spontaneity and surprise keep a sexual relationship fresh and exciting! Shake up your routine by examining your sex life at present. Do you always have sex at the same time and in the same place? Do you dedicate a few hours to having sex, or do you always have a quickie? Try heating things up by exploring times, places, and activities you’ve never considered.

Have Lube Will Travel

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 15:21:00 GMT

If you’re taking your show on the road and don’t want to lug your favorite pump bottle of lube with you, consider getting some lubettes. They’re handy, portable and cute!

Exploring Erotica

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 11:09:10 GMT

Reading erotica is a great way to expand your fantasy life. Because our society defines sex so narrowly, a lot of people have trouble imagining sexual possibilities beyond their current repertoire. Exploring erotica is a great tool for providing sexy inspiration in your own sex life. You may discover hot situations and activities you never imagined existed!

Safe Restraint

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 12:54:00 GMT

Want to tie your partner up in bed? Avoid using silk scarves or metal handcuffs for the job. They can tighten unexpectedly on wrists, potentially causing nerve damage. Instead, invest in a safe set of leather or vinyl cuffs like Kookie cuffs. Cuffs disperse pressure on wrists across a wider area and will not tighten on their own.

Bigger Raincoats

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:47:00 GMT

A lot of people think condoms are one-size-fits-all. Not true! There are a variety of great condoms for guys who find the “average” size of most condoms either a little too big or a little too small. Kimono Microthin Large is an ultra-thin larger-sized condom, and Mambas are a super-strong Swedish condom built with a snugger fit.

Vibration During Oral Sex

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 15:39:48 GMT

Use the Babeland Pocket Rocket or Fukuoku 9000 to add a buzz to oral sex. When going down on a woman, hold it against her clit or run the fingertip vibe along the labia. It's small so it won't get in the way of your hard-working tongue, but will still give you that extra ooomph that only a vibe can give. On men, hold the toy against your cheek, or palm it while combining a hand job with your blow job.

Girl-on-girl or Lesbian Porn

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 01:20:39 GMT

There is a difference between girl-on-girl and lesbian/dyke porn! And it’s a fascinating and confusing cultural phenomenon.

Girl-on-girl films are generally made by mainstream porn companies and are geared toward audiences of straight men. Lesbian/Dyke porn is mostly made by small, independent, dyke-run production companies. The casts are much more diverse, featuring an array of body types and a much higher-prevalence of people of color. Strap-on action, whole-hearted pussy licking, and finger fucking are standard.

Care and Cleaning

Non-porous Materials (glass, pyrex, silicone, stainless steel)

Glass should be washed with soap and water. Do not expose glass to extreme temperatures.
Pyrex, a heat-resistant glass, can be boiled, put in a dishwasher, or washed with soapy water.
Silicone is our material of choice because it will clean easily and thoroughly. To clean, wash the toy with soap and water or place it in the top rack of your dishwasher. Immersing silicone in boiling water for 10 minutes will disinfect it. Silicone may be shared safely after disinfection. Never use silicone lube with silicone toys; this will break down the surface of your toys.
Stainless steel can be boiled, soaked in a bleach and water solution, or run through your dishwasher.

Porous Materials

Acrylic toys should be cleaned with soap and warm water.
Cyberskin (also known as Ultraskin and Softskin) is a delicate material; wash it gently with soap and warm water. Air-dry, then powder lightly with cornstarch (do not use talcum powder; it has been linked to cancer). Store the toys in a plastic bag containing a small amount of cornstarch to keep them from getting sticky. Cyberskin may contain some of the same chemicals found in jelly rubber. We recommend using a condom on Cyberskin toys.
Elastomer is a soft, phthalate-free plastic. People who wish to avoid contact with rubber softeners can choose Elastomer toys as a hypoallergenic, durable alternative. To clean, wash with soap and water. We recommend using condoms if sharing the toy and for easier clean-up.
Hard plastic toys should be wiped down with a soapy cloth and warm water.
Jelly rubber is a soft rubber that cannot be completely disinfected. To clean, wipe the toy with a soapy cloth and warm water. Store it in a cool, dry place away from other objects. Jelly-rubber contains latex and phthalates (pronounced “thall-eights”). Phthalates are chemicals used as softeners or solvents. We do not have conclusive information on the health effects they may have. Because of their porous nature and chemical components, we believe the only way to safely use jelly rubber toys is with a condom, every time.
Leather will wipe clean with a damp, soapy cloth or with leather cleaner. Do not soak leather. Wiping with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution (rubbing alcohol) will disinfect leather toys. After cleaning, you may recondition your toy by using a leather conditioner. Protect metal parts from tarnish by applying a coat of clear nail polish. Always let leather air dry and store in a cool, dry place.
Neoprene is a synthetic, rubber-based polychloroprene. Wash it with warm water and mild soap, then air-dry.
Nylon can be hand or machine washed.
Soft vinyl toys have a smooth, flexible surface that is easy to clean with soap and water. These toys typically contain much lower levels of chemicals than those made of jelly rubber.
Vinyl will wipe clean with a damp, soapy cloth or rubbing alcohol.
Nitrile safe sex supplies are compatible with oil-, water-, and silicone-based lubricants. They protect against STDs and pregnancy. Masturbating with gloves, condoms, or dams can be a great way to further eroticize them. Buy differently-sized gloves in different colors to make it clear in the heat of the moment which are medium and which are large. To avoid cross-contaminating, use different color gloves for the butt and the vagina or use a marker to put an “X” on the gloved hand you will be using for the butt. Use dental dams or non-microwavable plastic wrap for cunnilingus and analingus. Put an “X” on the outside so when things get good and slippery you can tell the sides apart.

General Tips for Longer Toy Life We strongly recommend using a condom with toys that are made of porous material. This will help prevent transference of body fluids that can carry bacterial and/or viral infections.

Remove batteries when storing vibrators.
Never submerge electrical components in water. Use a damp, soapy cloth to clean electric toys.
Protect your water-resistant and waterproof vibes by making sure the rubber O-ring stays tight around the battery compartment. If the O-ring is missing or broken, the vibe is no longer safe to use in water.
For vibrators with cords, wrap a small piece of electrical tape around the vibrator/wire and wire/ plug connection points to strengthen them.
Rough edges on hard plastic toys can be filed down with a nail file.
If you are using a bullet vibe internally, put it in a condom and use the condom, not the power cord, to pull it out.

G-Spot Tips

The G-spot, or urethral sponge, fills with fluid during arousal and

has a texture that can feel bumpy or crinkly when felt through the

front wall of the vagina. Pressure on the G-spot can cause some

folks to ejaculate fluid, which is similar to prostatic fluid.

To find the G-spot, insert a finger or fingers 2–3 inches into the vagina and press toward the pubic bone with a rhythmic “come'ere” motion.

G-Twist

Curved toys, like the Orchid G, are good for G-spot stimulation. Thumping, tapping, and vibration can also feel great.
Try combining G-spot play with oral stimulation of the clit.
Some folks prefer indirect G-spot stimulation; try pressing down on your belly just above the pubic bone or applying pressure toward the belly button during butt play.
Experiment with positions that angle toys, fingers, penis, etc. toward your belly button during penetration.
A full vagina may block ejaculate, so try pulling out toys, fingers, etc. when you orgasm, and bear down.
Finally, G-spot response varies dramatically, so enjoy all the sensations—try not to make it a quest.

P-Spot Tips

The P-spot, or prostate, is an almond-shaped gland locatedbetween the rectum and the bladder. The prostate produces fluidthat helps semen travel through the urethra during ejaculation.During arousal, the P-spot fills with fluid, which can make it easierto feel. When aroused, some P-spots feel similar to the musclebetween the thumb and forefinger when it is tensed.

To find the P-spot, insert a finger or fingers 2–3 inches into the anus and gently press toward the belly button with a “come'ere” motion. Use lots of lube and relax.
Try different techniques with your P-spot: stroking, massaging, tapping, vibration, or gentle thumping.
Play with your perineum (the soft, fleshy skin between the testicles and the anus); tapping here can access your P-spot indirectly. You’ll also be hitting the base of your penis.

Pandora Vibrator

Curved toys are especially good for P-spot stimulation—try the Aneros or Pandora. Make sure toys have a flared base to prevent them from getting lost.
P-spot responses vary. Try not to be goal oriented; instead, enjoy each new sensation along the way.

Cock Ring Tips

Cock rings restrict the flow of blood out of the penis; makingpossible greater sensitivity and a firmer erection. They can evenprolong erection. As with any toy, responses vary. Cock rings aren’trecommended for anyone with vascular or nerve diseases. If youexperience any discomfort numbness or tingling—take it off.

Megastretch Cock Ring

Secure the cock ring at the base of the penis, behind the testicles, so that it is snug and comfortable.
For new users we recommend an adjustable cock ring because one can remove or cut it off if it becomes uncomfortable.
Non-adjustable or stretchy cock rings should be put on while you are semi-flaccid. Hold the ring under your balls and insert your testicles one at a time. Next tuck your penis through head first. Hold the cock ring in place until your erection secures it. Lube it up to avoid pinching pubic hair.
To remove a cock ring, wait until you lose your erection. Don’t leave the cock ring on for more than 20 minutes and always remove it if you feel any discomfort before then.
Experienced users can play with how long to leave it on. If you plan to sleep in it, use an adjustable cock ring and keep it loose.

Anal Sex Tips

Always remember our mantra to help you on your back door journey:“Relaxation, Communication, and Lubrication”. When playing with apartner, it’s important that the person being penetrated be in control ofwhat’s happening, especially if you’re new to anal sex. Let your partnerknow what feels good and what doesn’t. And, of course, have fun!

Little Flirt

Always use toys that have a handle or flared base so they don’t slip inside the rectum.
Always use lube—the butt does not self-lubricate—and begin slowly by stimulating the outside of the anus.
Ease your finger in pad-first to avoid scratching and poking.
Cover your toys with condoms for safe and fast cleanup.
Softer materials are easier on sensitive tissue and will follow the natural curve of the rectum. Bumps and ridges can feel good sliding in and out.
Angle your fingers, penis, or toy toward the front of the body.
Stick to the butt—going from butt to vagina can cause infections.
Numbing creams are unsafe—lube and relaxation are better.
Pull out gently and carefully.

Sex for Parents

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 13:22:12 GMT

Every parent knows that it can be challenging to maintain a thrilling sex life while raising kids. If you don’t already have a lock on your bedroom door, buy one and install it. Even more importantly, teach your kids that everyone deserves privacy. Respect your kids’ privacy by knocking on the door before entering their bedroom, and teach them to give you the same courtesy.

Ziplock Toy Storage

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:13:54 GMT

Female Ejaculation and Easy Clean Up

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:50:18 GMT

For most women the greatest barrier to learning to ejaculate is overcoming pee-phobia—the fear of wetting the bed. One solution is to take your explorations to the bathroom! Make yourself comfy on the floor or in the tub. And know that if you make a mess, it will be fun. And clean up will be a snap.

Instant Dental Dam

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 14:53:38 GMT

Masturbating in front of a full-length mirror

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:02:30 GMT

For variety: Try masturbating while lying down or sitting in front of a full-length mirror (be sure to prop your head up so you can see yourself, if necessary). As you go, you'll see the changes in color as blood flow increases and decreases. You'll also see what your partner(s) sees, which can be useful later on ("Honey, see the fold of skin to the left?"). You know how it can be exciting to see a partner orgasm? It's not too bad watching yourself, either. Add a toy to intensify the experience and enjoy.
