Sex toys & relationships

Let's face it; most women have enjoyed a relationship with a Rampant Rabbit, a Dildo or a Vibrator at some point in their sex lives. For some of us it's just an other experience to tick off the "Things to do before I'm 30" list. For others it's a satisfying self indulging no holds barred adventure with an array of fallacies none of which suffer with the Green Eyed Monster jealousy of mere mortals.
So if we enjoy our sex toys on our own should we introduce them to our human partners or should we keep quiet about it as we would about a past lover or an illicit affair? It would seem that the answer depends on your partner's outlook on sex toys. The general view of the traditional male is that plastic imitations of the reel thing are to be frowned upon and have no place in the home over which he presides! The 21st century man broader in his views on the modern world appears to take the view that variety is the spice of life and is less likely to be intimidated by a mechanical bedroom appliance which performs in ways his penis can't.Of course the ramifications of analysing sex toys and relationships are much further reaching than just man Vs machine, male gay relationships as a for instance tend to have a very liberal use of not just sex toys but also bondage items S&M and a variety of sex games. Lesbian relationships also tend to have user friendly attitude but are more personal and intimate about using them.Sex toys are used by women in every walk of life, mothers, students, legal and medical professionals, teachers, social workers, entertainers...The list goes on and with the exception of perhaps nuns all will probably embark on relationship with an other human being at some point. By this time your battery powered friend is much more than a penis substitute, it's an instrument with which you have explored the most intimate parts of your body and your psyche so why would you give it up for some body who could take years to discover those same erogenous nooks and crannies you've toiled so intensely to uncover?Use discretion! A male acquaintance was horrified when his new girlfriend produced a clitoral vibrator during their first sexual encounter together and asked "You don't mind if I use this?" He felt she deemed him not to be up for the job and never saw her again.Relationships are delicate intangible entities even without sex so with this addition they become even more so. The key as with most personal information about your self is not to give away too much too soon. Gauge your partner's sense of adventure in the sex department, if their idea of "experimenting" is doggy style preceded by some dutch courage then it's probably advisable to advance with caution and take things slowly.A good way to introduce your new partner to your love of sex toys is to suggest browsing the web for massage lotions or stimulant balms, if you get a positive reaction then moving onto the Vibrator section comes more natural and choosing something together is preferable to producing your own trusted companion and announcing "Here's one I prepared earlier"This technique is also a good ice breaker if you’re in a longer standing relationship and wish to spice up your sex life a little. Try browsing our own couples section to get an idea of what's available for those who want to keep up the enjoyment of their sex lives together.In conclusion. If all else fails there is no shortage of discreet Vibrators which can be easily carried around in your hand bag or pocket without the danger of being rumbled.In today's society if you're a single modern woman (age is irrelevant) who's time is so consumed by career, kids or social life that any non plutonic relationship would be more troublesome than orgasmic then you're probably expected to have a vibrator or two in your bed side table without having to make excuses for their existence, after all men have been putting their penises in blow up dolls for years.

Understanding your Rabbit Vibrator

The Rampant Rabbit is the most successful sex toy in the history of sex toys. The ubiquitous bunny is linked with the appearance of the Rampant Rabbit in Sex and the City and also stars in the British film Rabbit Fever about a group of women addicted to their favourite toy.
There's a much-repeated "statistic" that tells us more people buy Rampant Rabbit vibrators each year than buy washing machines. But then more people buy Kit Kats (other chocolate bars are available) than Rampant Rabbits or sex toys in general, so what does that say about our sex lives? You see the Rampant Rabbit's a bit astonishing all round, what person had the idea that led to a vibrator with pointy ears and a fluffy bunny face? Presumably the sort of person whose dirty talk consists of such euphemisms as: "Here's little Peter diving down your burrow"The name of the toy refers to the similarity of the clitoris stimulator to a pair of rabbit ears. Rampant Rabbit Vibrators appeared recently in response to the growing female desire for more pleasurable sex toys. But it gained special popularity after it's TV appearance.Thankfully there is a growing number of variations on the Rampant Rabbit design - which are manufactured free of any obvious cotton-tail properties! As people we are all different and equally so are our genitalia. The Rampant Rabbit's ears do not suit everybody and derivatives with a bottle nosed dolphin, (such as the Dolphitronic) a penguin (see the Pengitronic) or humming bird's beak (Ultra 7 Hummer) even a bear's paw are all included under an ever expanding Rabbit Vibrator umbrella.To take the Rampant Rabbit concept further you can now buy "The Bingo" with soft spikes on both the shaft and the clit stim which make finding the right spot for optimum stimulus a little easier - even if it does look a little like a medieval instrument of torture! For those who like their Rabbit Vibrator to provide a little anal play too there's the "Double Bunny" which has a shaft boasting a vibrating stimulator either side to refresh the parts other Rabbit Vibrators cannot reach.The latest evolution of Rampant Rabbit is the "Rampant Rabbit Thruster". Traditional Rampant Rabbits have a shaft housing several rows of beads that rotate in either direction, stimulating the entrance to the vagina. The beads in the Rampant Thruster pump up and down to simulate the action of penetrative sex. This technology is fairly recent and is only available from a small number of manufacturers.We should probably explain to those of you who lead sheltered lives in remote leafy suburbs that the Rampant Rabbit has earned its place in the history books of design classics because of its ability to provide simultaneous vaginal and clitoral stimulation. Or, as Mr Kipling might put it, “giving a satisfying feeling of fullness with something to tickle your fancy.”Given its huge popularity and wide spread use, not to mention its ability to be as much part of popular conversation as the bedroom prowess of Brad Pitt. The Rampant Rabbit has of course had an impact on men as well who don't want to find themselves outclassed by a large, juddering piece of plastic.(or Brad Pitt for that matter) How would women feel if men made the same kind of widespread claims for the superiority of rubber dolls over the real thing, in the way women routinely make for the Rampant Rabbit? Surely it's more gracious, whatever your true views, to imply that vibrators are supplements or enhancers at best. After all, a Rampant Rabbit won't buy you flowers, warm your toes or heart in the long winter of old age. Nor will it make a decent cup of tea – though we’ve been told it's handy for frothing a latte.Now that the Rampant Rabbit has been around for a decade or so, and given it's appearance in more guises than the Scarlet Pimpernel, the materials used to manufacture this most popular of sex toys are also constantly evolving.Normally Rabbit Vibrators are made out of a jelly-like substance (poly vinyl chloride), silicone (semi-organic polymer), rubber (elastic hydrocarbon polymer) or latex (natural rubber) materials. They are soft and pliable enough to create the feel of the real body. Silicone vibrators are easier to clean and care for. Since this material is not porous no bacteria or foreign matter remains on the surface. Silicone retains heat and has no odour. Jelly material is porous and cannot be sterilized in boiling water and also has a scent of rubber that some find unappealing. In order to hide this smell, some producers aromatize their products with more pleasurable scents. Rabbit Vibrators can be also found made from vinyl, plastic and elastomer materials. They are much less porous than jelly, or non-porous at all, but the texture is smooth and firm.Various manufacturers have been looking for more perfect materials so that your Rampant Rabbit could respond to your desires in a more pleasurable way.. These days, modern research in this field has helped to create such patented materials as Crystalessence (thermo plastic rubber), Futurotic (thermal plastic elastomer), Jel-Lee (poly vinyl chloride), AquaGel (poly vinyl chloride), SoftSkins (thermal plastic elastomer) and more.The Rampant Rabbit has been designed especially for women's pleasure with attention to the double stimulation of clitoris and g-spot - the most sensitive areas in the female body. They are used for vaginal penetration with the rabbit-shaped stimulator positioned against the clitoris or against the anal region. This is the most common method of application. Rabbit Vibrators are used also for anal stimulation as with any penetrating sex toy. Therefore men can use the rabbits as well.

Sex toys in a relationship

Lets face it sex at the start of a relationship involves maximum effort in the bedroom, car, field, changing rooms in M&S. The question is what happens after the initial surge: after year 4, kids, Saturday football, shopping trolleys and a demanding boss? The truth is those couples that stay happy in the sex stakes have to make an effort and that means giving some priority to the sexual side of their relationship. We all know failed relationships are on the up -World divorce statistics for the UK stand at 53% (Italy and Uzbekistan are 12%).But where public stoning or hell fire and damnation don't act as a deterrent how do we keep positive communication alive in our relationships? A good physical relationship certainly paves the way (Look at celebrity married couple Sting & Trudie Styler, who openly discuss their active sex life & Tantric marathons) Sharing sexual desires are paramount: take time over foreplay, consider your partners desires and explore each others fantasies.Those that play together stay together and with that in mind here's what our toy testing couples had to say about their favourite toys and the best ways to play with them –Enjoy!
The Cock Ring– Our couples favourite!The perfect toy to ensure a satisfying orgasm for her whilst maintaining an erection for him. Some preferred our non-vibrating (Purple Cock Ring with a steel ball) yet all agreed that the vibrating versions certainly guaranteed a climax. Couples choice- The Dinky Ring/Vibrating love ring
Mini Vibrator– Lots of our couples use a mini vibrator regularly whilst lovemaking. Many women can't climax through penetration alone and the mini vibe enables a flexible approach to clitoral stimulation during sex as it doesn't get in the way or as one guy stated 'make you feel inferior'. The favoured position is 'doggy style' which allows full access whilst the mini vibrator is used from the front. Couples Choice- Discretion Vibe/Mini Smooth vibe/Velvet touch
Buzzing Finger/Stimulator – Great for use during sex as with the mini vibe, yet lots of our couples liked to use them during foreplay for mutual stimulation. The non phallic nature of the vibrators allow for stimulation all over the body and our male testers liked the feeling of them over the sensitive areas of the penis. The tongue joy 'takes out the hard work' as one person put it and the ladies were not complaining.Couples choice- 5 finger vibe/Zingfinger/Tongue joy
Orgasm Boosters – The Flower & Rocket balm appears to be staple of the bedside drawer with our couples saying that the sensations were great and the taste good at the same time. The ladies thought that using an enhancer during foreplay heightened sensitivity during sex and made climax easier or more enjoyable. Our couples find that using an oil or balm on their partners made them linger on the erogenous zones and provided a longer sensual foreplay.Couples Choice – Rocket/Flower Balm/Original Oil of Love/Oral Delights kit
Bullets – Bullets by their very design provide great clitoral stimulation and our couples used them for foreplay for this purpose. The favoured type came as a kit and had various attachments for male use also i.e.: anal. Some testers had used the remote bullet and one pair admitted to an addiction to public outings with the bullet firmly ensconced in knickers!Couples choice – 4 play couples kit/Vibro pulse pleasure/Miyakodori
The Dildo/strap on – Strap on fun is certainly a firm favourite in the bedroom! Our couples of all sexual orientations enjoy the experience and suggest looking carefully at preferences on size, shape and materials used. Couples choice – Alias female strap on/Flame harness kit/Feeldoe
Love beads – Lots of couples enjoy anal stimulation during sex. The beads prove a firm favourite with a preference for the softer bendy type. Lots of recommendation for the Mantric beads as the vibrations enhance pleasure during lovemaking for him or her.Couples choice – Bendy beads/Dinky beads.
