I Love to Ride

There is something immensely satisfying about movement in masturbation. Is it anatomical or simply  more satisfying as an involved experience? Lying on your back (or front) and working a sex toy against your body does the trick but any movement involving pelvic thrusts just does the trick. We first encountered a purpose built rocking sex toy with the Rock ChickVibrator many moons ago, which felt like learning to ride a bike but was rewarding once an individual technique was mastered. Although the Rock Chick remains a firm favourite of ours, times change and with it the arrival of the dual stimulating rocking ride of the iRide hands free sex toy for those that like masturbation that works up a sweat.
iRide has the same dual stimulation concept but has worked this design into a saddle to ride. There is a 4" 'phallic' insertion on the top of the saddle with clitoral nub to the front for massage of the labia. Thinking back to pony riding days the basic riding techniques can be applied to this vibrating saddle. Rising trot works the internal shaft with a base sturdy enough to squeeze with the thighs, a brisk canter works the vibration into thighs, clitoris and vagina whilst a gentle walk tilts the pelvis along the saddle body taking advantage of the highest level of vibration.
Tilting the pelvis takes full advantage of the sensitivity of the clitoris and massaging the entire length against the ridge of iRide leaves no stimulating nerve ending untouched.
The hands free part of this toy also allows you to concentrate on other areas of your body or your partners. The next time you promise some oral pleasure to your partner hop on the iRide and it will make the experience so much more interesting!

Clit Stim Squeeze

Most women find that clitoral stimulation is the most effective way of achieving orgasm. If you want some variation in your masturbation routine take a look at our clitoral massage techniques and take some time to find your favourite route to an earth-shaking orgasm.

A favourite of ours is the Clit Stim Squeeze which as a masturbation technique involves a greater degree of movement to reach orgasm. Take a bullet vibe or slightly longer clitoral vibrator such as the discretion vibrator. Place the vibe between your legs against the outer length of the inner lips (basically the area you would focus on during usual clitoral massage). Close your legs and lie on your side for maximum movement. Squeeze against the vibrator whilst rocking your pelvis back and forth, squeezing your pelvic muscles as you would when building on orgasm. The rubbing against the vibrator will lead to climax and leave your hands free for nipple play too!

This squeezing technique can also be used directly after orgasm for a double whammy that usually leads to another climax in succession. The trick is to do it straight away whilst the sensitive pulsation remains in your clitoris.

You can also adopt this technique during the spoons position with your partner whereby penetration and clitoral massage can be enjoyed simultaneously.

My conversation with Mr R

I took a call from a gentleman the other day and we had a lengthy discussion about his sex life. The couple had been married for many years and Mrs R, his wife, had never had an orgasm during sex. Mr R was very keen to spice up the marriage and pleasure his wife in a way he felt he hadn't before. The ensuing effort had led to his purchase of sexy outfits (although she insisted in turning off the lights to emerge from the ensuite), a rabbit vibrator he had brought from us 4 months prior and a lubricant to use during sex. Mrs R hadn't enjoyed the rabbit vibrator although Mr R had loved using it on her, she felt the rotating shaft was unnatural and hadn't enjoyed the experience. Our conversation lasted for 1/2 an hour and at the end I really felt for Mr R, he loved and wanted his wife but felt he always seemed to miss the mark when it came to her sexual satisfaction.

He knew that she used sex toys alone as he found various women's toys in her drawer so why hadn't they succeeded in enjoying them together? It really only boils down to one thing; communication.
It seemed Mrs R had become accustomed to not having an orgasm with her husband and enjoyed a collection of vibrators when he left the house. It had become a habitual pattern of behaviour whereby they enjoyed the intimacy of sex but Mrs R only expected to experience the joy of orgasm during self pleasure. A sexy outfit is always top of the 'improve your sex life list' but in reality dressing up the outside isn't going to improve a sex life which needs working on from the inside. Opening up communication, letting go, trusting your partner, experimenting and demonstrating what it is that you find pleasurable are the list toppers.

'Spice up your sex life' its a women's mag cliche, but number one top of the list is not to light a few candles and rub in some massage oil but to TALK. I understand that this can be difficult, some people just aren't comfortable talking about their sexual preferences but little steps eventually take you a long way and sometimes grabbing a rabbit and donning suspenders just isn't going to break down a sexual routine built up over many years.

What did I suggest to Mr R? Well for practical advice, instead of a rabbit vibrator (he brought the thruster anyway!) I suggested a clitoral vibrator for his wife and gave him a few positions to adopt so that she could integrate her usual clitoral massage when they made love. We chose a cock ring to keep him harder to the longer sessions and a vibrating ring to use in the missionary position. I suggested he leave the sexy outfits until they were both comfortable with a new approach and that he ask her about the ways in which she pleasures herself with some direction on his technique.

A great sex life isn't just about the earth shattering orgasms but the intimacy and trust it can create which very quickly benefit all areas of your life. Enjoy!

Oh and good luck to Mr R, you have got to love the man for trying!

Sex & Ice

Ice has long been used during sex play for its stimulating sensation,
a juxtaposition of extreme cold and the extreme heat of your body. Running an ice cube over the most sensitive areas of a woman's body heightens sensation and arousal, the perfect tool for caressing the buttocks, neck, thighs, nipples and clitoris. Sex toys such as glass and Pyrex dildos can be chilled for those that desire icy cold stimulus on skin but what about the worlds first vibrating ice massager?

The Touche ice massager is a sex toy with a difference, incorporating the thrilling sensations of ice with the stimulation of a vibrator all rolled in one. The ice container can be separated from the silicone grip to fill with water and replaced to pop in the freezer until solid. When ready the ice holder can be slid off, a bit like making a kids ice lolly, with the exception of the vibrating bullet which is inserted back into the sex toy when ready. As your temperature rises the contrast of ice, silicone and vibrating bullet won't cool you down.
Remember that this icy sex toy needs adequate time to prepare (about 4 hours) so pop it back in the freezer after each use hidden behind the frozen peas!

Finger Tingles

The Rocks Off RO80mm Bullet has been one of those sex toys that quickly established itself as a firm favourite shortly after it arrived. The bullet has become our best selling clitoral vibrator due to its power and simplicity, with one push button control and a sleek torpedo shape supremely suited to nestle amidst the inner labia. How could you possibly better that? Well the ever forward thinking folks at Rocks Off have released a version of the bullet with the ability to harness the power of the mighty RO 80mm and transfer it to your finger.

Finger Tingles is a finger vibrator with multiple uses. Simply pop your finger through the hole and rest the curved line of the silicone casing against your pubic mound. The vibrations travel down from the bullet into the silicone surround and your finger for clitoral stimulation with finger tip control. Lets face it you can't beat the soft tactile feel of skin and your finger during masturbation and Finger Tingles enables the added joy of vibration for increased orgasmic pleasure.

If you want to revert to the bullet massaging the clitoris directly during periods of reduced sensitivity or steamy sex sessions then simply remove from the silicone attachment.

Clitoral Play

When beginning with clitoral play its a good idea to apply a sex lubricant to the entire vulva including the clitoris, inner labia and outer labia. If you prefer insert a finger into your vagina and transfer your natural lubrication instead.

Get familiar with your clitoris and discover the most pleasurable parts to concentrate the stimulation. Use a finger tip to slowly rub the sides of your clitoris familiarising yourself with its size, shape and sensitive zones.

Run your finger or clitoral vibrator along the entire length, stimulating the inner clitoral and inner labia nerve endings. You will now begin to feel a plumpness in your lips and any further play should result in a heightened sensitivity.

When using a clit stim or your finger contract your pelvic muscles as you feel the pleasant sensations build up. Continue to 'pump' your pelvic muscles as the pleasure rises as it increases lubrication, assists the arrival of orgasm and intensifies the climax when it happens.
Try to stimulate the clitoris to the point of its 'erection' whereby it pops out from under the hood and can be clearly seen. Increase your speed on this area now in order to build towards climax.Direct pressure to this area is often too much for most women and using the inner lips to rub over the clit creates a buffer, enabling only the pleasant feelings from this sensitive area.
Breathing is an important part of masturbation and deeper breaths will carry more oxygen around the body aiding blood flow and making you feel more relaxed. Gently move your hips it can help to induce orgasm and makes the pelvic squeeze easier to maintain.

You may want to increase your massaging speed as orgasm approaches or if using a vibrator increase the vibration level in the latter stages of masturbation. Hold the pelvic muscles as you feel orgasm approaching and remember to take a big breath as your climax begins, it serves to send the pleasure right to the tips of your toes and extends the orgasmic experience.

Clitoral Sensitivity

Have you ever noticed how clitoral sensitivity changes throughout your monthly cycle. You grab your usual vibrating bunny or buzzy clit stim turn it on to max and well its just not doing it for you, at other times just walking down the street in a tighter than usual pair of jeans gets you swollen in the lady part department. We decided to look into the issue of clitoral sensitivity & guess what its probably the usual cocktail of hormones that effects this pleasure spot.

Lower estrogen levels which occur at certain points in your cycle may lead to changes in your genital tissues, clitoral sensitivity and your sexual responsiveness. Your estrogen levels rise as your eggs mature which probably explains why you may feel more sensitivity at your most fertile period.

If you find that you need a clitoral vibrator with extra boost at times of lower estrogen try a bullet vibrator, they tend to deliver strong concentrated vibrations to combat a lesser sensitivity & the torpedo shape fits perfectly alongside your inner lips.

We love the Rocks off RO80mm Bullets & Ramsey Rabbit for strong vibrations.

The Ramsey is brilliant for both types of day as the silicone bunny can be removed from the bullet for stronger vibrations and placed back on for days of better sensitivity.

Real Feel versus Plastic Fantastic

We would like to see Harry Hill pit the realistic sex toy against the new female, airport scanner, mother in law just saw my clit stim on the bathroom shelf friendly sex toys that are a plenty in the adult market.

In his satirical show we would like to see Harry introduce the realistic dildo from one door & the smooth lines of a discreet 'pebble' creation from the other & see the carnage ensue as we all yell 'fight'.

Its a hard choice do you prefer the vein popping, realistic 8 inch with every manly detail in its full glory or shiny 'pleasure object' your mother would probably dust & place on the mantelpiece mistaking it as your latest purchase from the John Lewis home department?

There are benefits to both types of sex toy & discretion has to be on the side of the sex toy creation with innocent styling. The scanner at Heathrow would hardly notice the Lelo Nea passing through baggage control but the Prince Charming dildo is going to look like a cock in your case whichever way you turn it. The realistic sex toy has to win in the getting down & dirty stakes though as the realistic dildo makes a sexy prop for fantasy play or turning your partner on in foreplay. If you both fantasise about you (or your man) being taken by a huge male member the small pink vibrating butterfly just doesn't provide the erotic aesthetics, whereas the natural dildo will provide the necessary visuals to have you both wet.

Designer chic over detailed dildo, pulsating pleasure object over vein popping penis its a hard choice but we would say both have their place in the bedroom & why limit yourself to one genre when you can try them all!

The best of both: Cupids Finger Tingler Airport friendly sex toy

The We-Vibe

Many couples are looking for a product to provide stimulation during sexual intercourse. Usually a vibrating cock ring or discreet vibrator is the only answer, adopting a sexual position that allows manual stimulation during sex. That was until Canadian based sex toy manufacturer Standard Innovation Corporation came up with the We-Vibe.

The we-Vibe is something of a unique sex toy in that the woman can insert the toy whilst having sex. The We Vibe provides strong vibrations to your clitoris during intercourse or can be used alone to stimulate the g-spot. The We-Vibe is phthalate free, waterproof & made from medical grade silicone. A truly innovative sex toy, winner of the 'Toy of the year' by viewers of Talk Sex with Sue Johanson, the We-Vibe is making a big buzz in the sex toy market & will for time to come.

The Tingle Tip

We see many new sex toy ideas enter the market, some better than others! When it first entered adult stores The Tingletip was an innovation which has spawned many more vibrator/toothbrush products onto the scene. The tingletip is a small & discrete sex toy that simply replaces the head of a normal Braun Oral B toothbrush. The design provides strong clitoral stimulation & features a 'contra-rotational ' vibration concentrated at the small tip for precision clitoral massage.

The tingletip has firmly planted itself as a classic, winning 'Best Sex Toy' 2008 by readers of lesbian magazine DIVA & claiming 'Best in Test' by Cosmopolitan magazine in their sex toy review of last year.

Pjur Stimulation Spray

We have always loved stimulation sprays & the increased sensitivity they provide for the clitoris. A fabulous treat once or twice a week is to spray a squirt of arousal spray to your clitoral area before massaging with your favourite sex toy. Pjur have launched My Spray, a stimulation spray to send tingles to your genitals like never before. Pjur recommend trying the product out on the inside of your cheek where it will quickly fizz like the bubbles from Champagne.

My Spray encourages blood flow to your clitoris & provides a tingle to increase sensitivity & improve your orgasm. Its also great for a quickie as it brings orgasm on much quicker than usual.

Sex Toys & Blended Orgasm

If I am ever asked "Why Sex Toys" I always give the answer why settle for one stimulation when you can have two or three! I am of course talking of blended orgasm.

Blended Orgasms are a recognised method of orgasm & basically means that you stimulate more than one sexual area to achieve an orgasm that is a mixture of all the sensations, a more intense & whole body experience that leaves you wanting more!

Sex toys can achieve this either together, in the functions of one toy or whilst enjoying your partner.

Here are my sex toy choices for a perfect blended orgasm:

Rabbit Vibrators give women the easiest blended orgasm & now you know why they are so popular. The rotating or vibrating shaft coupled with clitoral stimulation on the ears allows women to experience a vaginal & clitoral orgasm in one go.

The Rock Chick a g-spot stimulator with clitoral vibrations simply rock yourself to a

g- spot/clitoral orgasm

Dinky Pink the quiet & discreet vibrator for clitoral stimulation during intercourse. A vaginal & clitoral orgasm together feels amazing.

A Butt Plug inserted whilst having sex gives an amazing full feeling & intensifies your orgasm.

Use a Dildo whilst having anal sex with your partner for double penetration without needing a willing volunteer.

A Double Dildo offers twice the play value, either a sex toy to share or anal/vaginal stimulation to blend your orgasm.

A G- spot vibrator used by your partner whilst giving you oral sex will definitely give you a deep & penetrating climax.

So when people ask me 'Why Sex Toys' I answer 'I guess I'm just greedy!'
