HAVE A FABULOUS CHRISTMAS FROM US ALL AT THE BOUDOIR 

WISHING YOU HEALTH & HAPPINESS FOR 2011 X

Lelo Ignites The Senses

Lelo's luxurious Flickering Touch Massage Line and Personal Lubricant has arrived at The Boudoir. In true lelo style the sex enhancing range merges function with form in eye catching designs and intoxicating formula's you can feel confident about. Much like their sex toys range the manufacturer has maintained their dedication to quality with some degree of ostentation, as in the addition of 24k gold flakes in the Massage oil! 

Lelo's Moisturising Lubricant is water-based, Glycerin and Paraben free for those interested in the content of their lube and hypoallergenic so the perfect companion to your skin and silicone sex toys. Whether using with a vibrator or your partner the Lubricant lasts the duration, therefore only a little is required as it  goes a long way.The packaging is exquisite and feels more like a cosmetics line than an intimate product.

Lelo Massage Oil as mentioned contains gold flakes for radiance with a formula combining Apricot kernel, Grape Seed and Jojoba Oils. The texture is non greasy and indeed shimmers after application. It would be ideal for use after a shower and before going out for an eye catching sheen and as it moisturises, keeps the skin nourished especially important in the Winter months. Sitting in its bottle it could be mistaken for a designer perfume and would make a gorgeous gift.  The scents of the oils really set this product apart for us, available in Balsam Fir and Bergamot, Spicy Clove and Amber or Fresh Lily and Musk. After use your skin radiates a subtle scent which doesn't over power yet cries out for you to get close and inhale the intoxicating aroma.

Lelo's Massage Candle is all natural soy wax and for those that haven't tried a massage candle before is melted before being poured onto the skin. The effect is a warming one leaving the air and your skin soft and scented. Flickering touch Massage Candle is available in Vanilla and Creme de Cacao, Pomegranate and Spicy Black Pepper and our favourite Snow Pear and Cedarwood, a real Nordic inspired aroma. Again the quality scents linger rather than overpower the skin and all of the products we tried left a soft moisturised feeling without a greasy residue.

Lelo have continued with their keen eye for design and quality throughout these accessories to pleasure and if you love all that is enduring stylish, durable and at times quite beautiful about Lelo's products you will love these.

PS: Note to all male Readers: The lady in your life will really like these products if stuck for Pressie ideas

The Usual Suspects or Something Different

If you like your sex toys in White, White or just pure White then you are going to Love Jimmyjane's Usual Suspects range of iconic sex toys. The premise is this; Jimmyjane has chosen its pick of classic if not 'iconic' sex toys and given them a designer makeover complete with signature shade of emblematic white. The designer has in effect chosen its members for an exclusive club which captures the main players of the adult market, each sex toy representing a genre that has spawned so many incarnations of the product itself. Despite the hundreds of versions of each toy in its line up, Jimmyjane has stripped down to the essence of each and puts forward an ultimate, luxury version as its icon. Yes we recognise the roll call; the Rabbit Vibrator, Classic Vibe, Bullet, Cock Ring, Pocket Rocket and Vibrating Duckie stand side by side in a line up that tops every girls wish list. Admittedly the white does take some getting used to particularly after the concoction of sugary hues seen on the likes of the rabbit vibrator or Duckie but once you turn the toys on and hold them in your hand the appearance almost takes a back seat. The line up hardly jumps out at you from the shelf but holds an understated appeal that really calls for closer inspection.

Stripped bare, Jimmyjane's range focuses on the form and function of each sex toy with both material and design representing the crème de la crème in the market. It reminds us of the M&S ad, 'this is no ordinary cock ring'.... Of course if an ordinary cock ring does the job for you then spending the extra for something, well extra, will seem superfluous to requirements. If on the other hand you are looking for something trusted in design yet special in its production take a look at Jimmyjane's range (and given the concept even the white can be forgiven!)

Remote Control Fancy Pants

Thus far on our travels to find good and useful sex toys for women and couples we have yet to stock a pair of remote control pants. Why have we resisted the urge to sell knickers of the quivering variety? All we have seen are either of a nylon leopard print fancy dress kind or a shiny incontinence pants style of hip huggers in which  you would struggle to raise a glimmer of arousal. We have had our eye on the Berman Centre Astrea Remote Control Thong ever since we saw Katherine Heigl squirming in her panties in The Ugly Truth (to be honest we have been a little in love with her since Greys Anatomy). The panties are a flattering V fit with thong and don't scratch or squeak when you walk. The soft fabric hides a pocket for the vibrator and the underwear inspires a little sexual confidence either under an evening outfit or for show in the bedroom.
I suppose the old adage 'you get what you pay for' applies to Astrea and for a flattering pair of pulsating panties the cost does push above £70 but if you want to enjoy a couples toy that feels as good as it looks we would recommend giving The Berman Centre pair a go!
In the meantime here's the lovely Katherine enjoying the pants...

Adrien Lastic Arrives

We know it sounds like an extra flexible European Porn Star but Adrien Lastic is actually a new sex toy brand which we have become very excited about indeed. For us the premise of this European range of sex toys is quality at affordable prices which in a time of cutbacks, consolidation and generally watching the pennies allows a quality conscious purchase inside a budget most people can afford. Many of us are looking for cheaper options hopefully without compromising the standards that we enjoy too much and Adrien Lastic balance the current conundrum of price/quality which results in some fabulous and affordable adult toys.
So far we have the Thrusting Rabbit, Love balls, Remote Control eggs of differing sizes, Anal Beads,Vibrating Cock Rings and Trifun a G-Spot Dildo akin to Funfactory's Curve (with a little extra buzz on the side).
Most of the product is made from Silicone and all materials are hypoallergenic and body safe. The silicone is soft, smooth and seam free with a solidity to the core which holds the beads, dildos and vibrating eggs firmly during penetration and massage.
Packaging is fresh and modern and doesn't cut corners in order to bring the right price to the store.
The noise level is low on vibrating toys and Adrien Lastic develop their own technologies which team reliability with performance, this is no half hearted attempt at a sex toy range!
We hope to add to their ever growing selection of female and couple friendly sex toys and pay homage to a company which is offering something useful to the adult market instead of renegading safe and reliable toys to an unachievable wish list.

Sealed With a Kiss

Were kisses all the joys in bed,
One woman would another wed.
~William Shakespeare, Sonnets to Sundry Notes of Music, IV

When it comes to brilliant foreplay and arousal, kissing is king. Kissing is in fact the height of intimacy and avoiding the sensual kiss usually indicates a lack of affinity and closeness in a relationship. Kissing takes effort but reap the rewards of an enhanced arousal and increased sense of closeness, which makes for fantastic sex.

     

Begin at the beginning

A spine tingling start to foreplay, begin by lightly brushing your lovers lips without opening your mouth. Gently trace the outline of your lover’s lips kissing the upper and lower sections of the mouth with the lightest touch you can manage.

Knights Kisses

Said to be used by Medieval Knights this is a series of gentle kisses that begin just under the ear at one side of the neck and trace a line down across the breastbone and up to the other ear. The necklace shape kisses were suited to the ladies low cut neckline of medieval dresses.

The Frenchie

Yes the classic French kiss with probing swirling tongue. Don’t push the tongue in too far and take it easy on the movement you don’t want to recreate the motion of a washing machine, provoke the gag reflex of your lover or deposit large amounts of saliva in their mouth.

The Latin Lover

During steamy long summers of sex Latin Lovers were said to flick beads of glistening sweat from their lovers body. Re-enact the motion by flicking the tongue quickly over sensitive spots such as the nipples and of course clitoris. Try this technique at the base of the back or inner thigh as a prelude to oral sex as sensitivity will soar.

Naughty Puppy

Think lapping motion with this kiss allowing the mouth to completely relax and lapping the tongue upwards before allowing to fall. Best to use this kiss on larger areas (might slobber the face a bit) and apply to inner thigh, lower tummy, breasts etc. The Naughty Puppy is also very good as oral technique flicking the clitoral nub at the fullest stretch before allowing to relax against the inner labia on the way down.

      

Snake Kiss

Imagine the writhing snake and enact with your tongue its that simple! Swirl, prod and poke in a firm way over all areas of the body in a type of massage with the tongue and lips. This feels divine on the nipple area and also along the shaft of the penis. The only downside to this one is the lack of moisture and suddenly finding you gasping for water part way through!

Butterfly Kiss

Sweet and delicate, gently flutter your eyelashes over your lovers skin

Sweet Streak Lingerie

We look at a lot of lingerie and decide against offering lots of it. Sourcing the right type of sexy outfit is difficult in that 'fabulous quality', 'good price' and 'right impression' all need their boxes ticked. Much of the high street sex store lingerie looks, well lets say inelegant and Boudoir Lingerie needs to inspire a little confidence not a nasty chafe of nylon. At the other end of the spectrum boutique lingerie looks and feels Dita Von Teese but without her earning potential teeters precariously on the heels of 'haven't got a hope in hell'. Beautiful lingerie should be available in all sizes and make the best of every figure. We try very hard to find Boudoir outfits that make you feel stunning, feel comfortable and won't break the bank in the process and Sweet streaks range of basques and corsets do just that. Provocative styling, risque with a hint of old school glamour with corsets produced in tactile jacquard and embroidered satin. The boning shapes the waist into a perfect hour glass and many of the corsets are just too beautiful to be hidden away underneath your clothes. The detailing accentuates the breasts and hips and most importantly feels a million dollars on which is what a seductive outfit should be all about! 

Form 2 Much?

I read two prominent reviews of the JimmyJane Form 2 this morning both by men and both criticising the fact that the designer vibrator was not suitable for penetration. Do I need to say more! You can bet your phony orgasm on the fact that they both need a master class in female pleasure if we could be bothered. It seemed that both reviews were based on the marketing material supplied by JimmyJane and one assumes they thought 'female sex toy' and could only lament the fact they you couldn't stick it in which of course is what most women want isn't it!
On a more sensible note here's our view. The conceptual side of Form 2 is a great one in that so many women buy a rabbit vibrator and only use it for its ears. Lets face it most women want clitoral stimulation to get off and we get regular enquiries from women who use the renowned bunny without inserting the shaft and want something easier to use. Form 2 looks to be that sex toy with 'ear' like prongs that will easily slip inside the labia for masturbation or used during sex due to its small size and petite package. The whole point of Form 2 is clitoral vibration with no sacrifice of function over form. The unique and effective point of Form 2 is an individual motor in each ear which takes clitoral stimulation to a whole new level. The powerful stimulation is not lost whichever angle is adopted and when used together have nerve jumping power. In fact Form 2 might prove a little too strong for some. Many women tend to stick to single speed vibrations on their sex toys as I figure its more effective when trying to build to orgasm. From our experience Form 2  differs in that the variation offers the most effective multi function we have tried which we know will please many of our customers out there.
The biggest down side to this luxury vibrator is the cost but quality costs money and if you are looking for an investment buy Form 2 could be for you.
    

Lelo Boa Pleasure Ties

Lelo Boa Pleasure Ties have arrived at The Boudoir this morning to a shrieking gaggle of girls all eager to get their sticky mitts on the designers latest boudoir accessory as Lelo's takes the concept of conventional restraints  and shoots it into the stratosphere. We are not talking your standard set of bondage cuffs here but an adult accessory which puts restraining play firmly on a gold trimmed velvet cushion and presents it your lover with a fanfare and courtly bow. The silk ties stretch just over a metre long with a jacquard pattern suited to sumptuous soft furnishings or stately home swags. The material is far to fine for scrunching and Lelo have devised a means to restrain your lover whilst keeping their tactile ties smooth and crease free. Boa has a pouch of fresh water pearls at one end and a metal ring at the other with the principle of threading the weighted pouch through the loop and pulling around your lovers wrists or ankles. A novel idea indeed and once you have slammed a door on the pearly pouch it has enough strength to keep even the most writhing partner in place.
Presented in a Lelo gift box it would suit a special occasion gift and could be left on the dining table without worrying about the raised eyebrow of your waiter. Lelo have produced a soft bondage restraint to enhance the ambiance of any sensual boudoir  and if you love the superior feel of  designer  sex toys you will adore the aesthetic of this pure silk pleasure accessory.

Ascendancy Descends

We have had a resounding 'More Please' when it comes to the Vibe Therapy Collection of Vibrators added to our shelves over the past couple of months. So much so that we have sourced further sex toys from the Designer's collection due to arrive over the coming weeks.

Vibe Therapy Ascendancy

Vibe Therapy Ascendancy has arrived today which is a massager/clitoral vibrator with 3 speed settings. It is extremely tactile as we have experienced with the Rabbit Vibes and vibrators with a medical grade silicone that feels like silk once a little water based lubricant is applied. The 'lay on' style of Ascendancy brings to mind the Fun factory Layaspot vibrator and similar except Vibe Therapy's version is slightly larger and bulbous which is fab for grip. Waterproof and simple to use with powerful vibrations, Ascendancy would be a good choice for self pleasure and couples foreplay and we sure it will be flying from the shelves just as its cousins have.

Win an Ascendancy - We are offering Vibe Therapy's massager as August's designer toy prize on Facebook. If you are keen to get your hands on one simply 'Like' our page and a lucky person gets one delivered to their door at the end of the month.  

Erotic Trade Sex Toy Nominations

The annual erotic trade awards have a category for Best Adult Product, last years winner was the Screaming O Lingo so lets take a look at the nominations for 2010. Amidst the five potential victors are three rabbits so the ladies vibrator of choice appears to be dominating proceedings!
The Bargain Bunny - Toy Joys rabbit vibrator is anything but bargain basement! The thing we love about this bunny is the textured surface which unlike the bingo is nobbled rather than spiked. Rub a little lubricant on the bumps and they feel fantastic, especially on the vibrating ears.
Jessica Rabbit Ultimate - One of Loving Joys plethora of Rabbit Vibrators launched this year. We have been a fan of every single one but agree that the 36 different combinations of stimulation certainly put the 'ultimate' in this Jessica.
Throbbing hearts - A Rabbit Vibrator with a shaft that contracts and expands giving a 'throbbing' sensation inside the vagina instead of a rotation or thrust. Sex Toy manufacturers are always thinking of new ways for the rabbit to please and throbbing hearts has proved itself a popular choice in the Boudoir thus far.
Vibrating Touche Ice Massager - If predictions of this years Summer heat wave are true the Ice Massager will be the perfect choice for sultry summer evenings. The 'lolly pop' part of the toy will see you making up your own ice pops (try adding a little vodka for a twist) with your frozen fancy then driven by powerful vibrations at the other end. Touche Ice is a contender for originality alone and if you enjoy sexy ice play is the perfect way to spend an evening with your partner.
We-Vibe II -  The second generation of We-Vibe is the final of the 5 nominations. The most interesting couples sex toy of the decade featured in publications up and down the country (including ITV's This Morning a couple of weeks ago)
We will let you know the winner after its announced on the night but if we were forced to choose the Ultimate Rabbit would romp home and the Jessica would take the crown.

Which would you choose?

The Boudoir Sex Toys Beginners Box

 

 I suppose one advantage to an on-line sex shop is that asking for help is less daunting then waiting at the counter for face to face assistance. For the beginner to sex toys and the more shy and retiring types the thought of discussing vibrators with a complete stranger is enough to bring on palpitations and sweaty palms. Sending an e-mail over to us requires a much smaller leap outside of your comfort zone and many people contact us weekly asking for advice on which type, brand, size of sex toy to buy.

With this in mind we have collated a box of beauties for the beginner with our boudoir recommended brand of Cupids Club, toys which represent value, quality and body safe materials and lend themselves well to both female and couples looking to embark on a pleasurable journey together.

The Stealth Surprise Vibrator looks pretty classic in its torpedo launcher style but this vibe is extremely quiet (the company literature says silent which is never the case) discretion is often paramount and this vibrator is stealthy. The size is also large enough for fulfilling penetration whilst not scary in proportions to put off the beginner.

The Lipido Lipstick Vibrator is a clitoral vibrator for utmost discretion yet a powerful pocket size toy with easy twist base and 'pop up' lipstick style. Great for masturbation or use during sex.

The Thunderpod Vibrating Egg is powerful with a one speed turbo setting but is a more practical toy for beginners experimentation. Use as a clitoral vibrator, massage or for clitoral stimulation during sex. More versatile than a clitoral vibrator and can be used by both partners.

The Mini Rabbit by Cupids Club is a brilliant way to get to know a rabbit vibrator. The perfect positioning tool the mini rabbit's shaft is static, allowing the beginner to concentrate on placing the shaft and clitoral stimulating ears in the right position during masturbation. The vibration is powerful enough to bring on orgasm and the controls are simple to use.

The collection encompasses rabbit vibrators, vibrators for penetration and clitoral stimulation and a vibrating egg for all round versatility.

Cupids Club sex toys are body safe, very well presented and produced in tactile materials. The Boudoir Sex Toys Beginners Box also saves you £6 on the individual item prices with free discreet delivery in the bargain Enjoy!  

Erotic Film Club

There's a place for porn and then there's a time for something subtler. A film with mastery over the imagination, intelligent plot and beautiful photography which simmers with a sexual subtext or even overloads the senses with scenes of sex and nudity. Erotic film, although not pornographic can be a very powerful medium in turning you on and turning on your sexual receptors. There is something so very appealing about the mix of an Erotic Films sexual content with the emphasis on pleasure, physical desire, and often human companionship.
This month we have launched our very own Erotic Film Club whereby we plan to share our own naughty nights recommended viewing alongside your own suggestions for a sexy film that sets the mood for you. Remember that every taste needs to be catered for so from erotic dramas or thrillers, sexploitation films, art house sensations or Hollywood productions that get your juices flowing contact us, we will watch your choice and if its good will issue a 20% discount voucher to spend on anything at The Boudoir.
We have begun with Insatiable Diary Of A Sex Addict which was released last year and recommended by Julie in our office and Shortbus recommended by James our friendly technical guy.
Here is the uncut version of Shortbus trailer  for your titilation with many of the camera shots taken from a voyeuristic perspective involving non simulated sex scenes.

Some frequently asked questions...

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Increase your skins sensitivity

Stimulating your skin cells is a good method of pre-sex preparation which will have your senses tingling and ready for touch. Whilst body brushing is a brilliant way to sensitise the skin its hardly sexy and standing there in the nude with a bristle brush doesn't create the ambiance required for a sensual sex session

I Really Want that Bath!

A better start to proceedings is to run a warm bath and add some aroma therapy with scented oil or bubble bath. When your bath is ready take a cup of ice cubes and place them on the side whilst you get in. The idea is to contrast the warmth of the water with the freezing ice cubes to wake up the skin and get the receptors ready for skin on skin contact. Run each cube until melted on various parts of the body before submerging them back in the water. Trace long lines around your nipples, inner thighs, arms even genitals and you will feel invigorated at the close.

Add to the atmosphere by lighting a few candles and enjoy the journey before delving deeper

Don't Forget The Foreplay

Its easy to forget, foreplay demands a little more time than a furious fumble before sex and sleep amongst our time deficient demanding week days. Foreplay occurs long before hitting the sack, think of it as warming the motor, letting the wine breathe before tasting, a before play that improves sexual enjoyment and builds to female climax that takes more time and attention. Foreplay builds sexual excitement and anticipation in your mind, the greatest erogenous zone at our disposal.

Why bother with Foreplay?

When time is poor its a delicious feeling to begin caressing and touching your partner knowing that you have to dash out of the door for the day. Building sexual tension before you depart leaves a lingering sexual urge that you can both resume later in the day. Keep the spark alive by sending a couple of text messages during the day letting them know what you want to do to them.

Foreplay is a good indicator of how your partner wants to have sex. Grabbing a wrist for instant clitoral stimulation or placing directly on your lovers cock suggests a sense of urgency whilst avoiding the genital area and indulging in tender kisses suggests a more languid pace.

Foreplay can be very important to the overall sexual act and your enjoyment of it. It is said that women need 20-30 minutes of stimulation to orgasm (don't count using vibrators in this equation) and foreplay can make the difference between achieving climax or not. Some men need longer to ejaculate or in the case of premature ejaculation foreplay allows a longer period of gratification and build up before penetration.

Foreplay keeps the spark alive, flirting and even full open mouthed dirty kissing are often neglected after a few years of routine and comfort. Kissing, caressing, throwing over that naughty look you used to give all remind you both how much you turn each other on.

Valentines fast approaching so why not devote some serious time to foreplay, the occasion call for it, Enjoy!

Oh Mi Bod Club Vibe:The remix of pleasure

If you unwrapped a MP3 this Christmas you will be interested to know that it will stimulate more of your senses than first imagined.

Thanks to Oh Mi Bods latest creation your play list could become your 'O' list with a sudden interest in thrash metal if Shostakovich was your cup of tea.

The Club Vibe comes as a smooth mini bullet vibe with controller pad & black panties. The bullet vibe slips into the panty pocket which leaves you with 3 choices on the vibrators function.

Music Mode: This setting operates the vibe with the music playing on your i phone, i pod or any MP3. The buzz operates with the beat in a fusion of music listening pleasure, dictated by your rhythmic choice. The controller pad has to clip on to your body if mobile but the Club Vibe could be taken on the tube ride in - commuting has never felt so good!

Ambient Mode: The Club Vibe vibrates to the sounds around you. A fab setting for couples play whereby your lovers voice has never sounded so good or a brilliant addition to this years festival's improving the sounds in a cornucopia of sensual delight (we suspect a week off work would be needed more than ever)

Manual Mode: If you enjoy Sex toys the manual way choose the manual mode and there are 7 vibration patterns to choose from via the control pad.

Oh MI Bod Club Vibe is a must for any music/gadget lover

(My sister blagged one for a Lost Prophets concert and reported that Ian Watkins never looked so good!)
