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!)

Kegel Exercises

Kegel exercises were devised by Arnold Kegel for the purpose of regaining pelvic muscle function in post natal women. As well as improving sexual enjoyment after childbirth Kegel exercise can improve overall enjoyment of sex. Fancy reaching orgasm quicker than before and enjoying a better climax or have you ever tried stimulating your partners penis during penetration just with your vaginal muscles?, Kegel exercises can enable that level of muscle manipulation and before you know it shooting ping pong balls across the room will be within your grasp!

The PC Muscle runs between the pubic and tail bone in both sexes and are the muscles you would commonly use to hold on to your wee if your bladder is full and you are trying to find a loo. Practising at holding your urine stream whilst on the toilet is a good way to start. Gradually build up the number of squeezes that you do daily and don't worry about finding a special time to do it as nobody knows what you are doing. Try 3 sets of 10 squeezes building to 3 sets of 20 and you will start to feel the results within a couple of weeks. Don't go for the maximum squeeze you can manage keep it relaxed and hold each squeeze for about 3 seconds.

Men will also benefit from Kegel exercise and it will improve the chances of multiple orgasm which is less common in males. Once you have exercised for a month or so you may even be able to lift a hand towel with your semi-erect penis!

Kegel toys are less sex toys and more exercise aids, think of them as dumb bells for the vaginal muscles. It is often easier to clench your muscles around something as the resistance can be felt and your partners penis is the perfect tool or a kegel exerciser or love ball. The Smartballs from Funfactory sex toys offers two weighted balls for stimulating movement or the Teneo which is a single ball for squeezing.

Masturbation on Prescription

The electrically powered vibrator was invented by a Matthew Henley for the treatment of female hysteria, therefore the vibrator was conceived as a medical instrument rather than the sensual object we love today.

Female hysteria is an interesting one the symptoms including, bloating, anxiety, irritability, insomnia and a 'tendency to cause trouble'.

The remedy for this 'hysteria' was a pelvic massage, yes you have it a bloody good rubbing to the genital area.

So lets get this straight, the vibrator was in fact invented to masturbate women who attended the doctor in victorian times with pre-menstrual syndrome.

It was documented that doctors found this a 'chore' and 'time consuming' and at no time was the practice alluded to as sexual in nature.

At a time when sexual repression was rife amongst polite society you could in fact attend the doctors with raging PMS and get a free fanny rubbing with a vibrator to melt all of those niggling symptoms away. Whatever's happened to the NHS!

Women Love Porn Too

Traditionally the appreciation of pornography has been a male preserve with films that focus on areas for male gratification with less foreplay & more fucking.

Times are a changing & women are becoming more outspoken about their use of pornography inside a relationship & for masturbation. With production companies such as Joybear & Anna Span introducing a new porn perspective which breaks away from the traditional male point of view, porn has become much more stimulating for us ladies too.

If you don't fancy the idea of visiting a licensed premises for your porn fix then surf the net for some quality snips. Save cash & take a look at some quality free porn sites such as Youporn which features amateurs & budding porn stars alike.

(Check out the male strip shows for pure entertainment value & you truly realise how naughty women can be when we get together!)

Does Good Sex Begin in your 30's?

We can all remember the initial sexual encounters we had, blind fumblings, awkward sex & no real knowledge yet of how to please yourself or others.

I may have been fitter, firmer & partaking in more recreational sex in my twenties but in retrospect was I having more fun?

The answer has to be no, so why am I finding sex in my thirties more satisfying than at any other time?

Yes our bodies are not what they used to be but they are relatively fit & firm & strangely we feel more confident about our bits. Our erogenous zones seem more responsive but then we know the right buttons to press. A mixture of long & short term sexual relationships has given us a knowledge & experience to understand what we want in bed. We have experience of pleasing ourselves & are not afraid to use sex toys alone or in relationships. Overall we know that faking orgasms & emulating the feigned porn star levels of sexual enjoyment in the bedroom aren't what makes for a satisfying sexual experience.

More Mrs Robinson than Bridget Jones, a thirty something woman knows exactly what she wants & boy do we know how to get it!

Bigger Better Orgasms

The new year is a perfect time for cutting out the naughty treats, hauling yourself to the gym & toning the body beautiful but did you know that an improved diet & regular exercise actually improves your orgasm too. In The Boudoir's guide to better orgasms we learn that the physical & mental benefits to improved health are a sheet clenching climax like never before.

What more motivation could you need to restart the fitness regime after too many mince pies this christmas!

Sex & Surveys

I have never been asked to take part in a survey in my life so am always dubious when the so called stats from a survey are published that are supposed to represent my opinion.

According to Clear blues survey (yes the pregnancy testing people hardly inspiring sexy thoughts especially as I have three children) a massive 41% of women are not satisfied with the amount of sex they are having.

I wonder is this due to their own motivational issues?

Lets face it in general the men in our lives have to be beaten off with a big stick at times & never waiver on the invitation of some bedroom antics.

How do you up the sexual motivation? Put it first for a start. If you expect to feel horny after dinner, washing up, eastenders, making packed lunches, online shopping etc then that's wishful thinking. Create ambiance in the bedroom to evoke passion & introduce items to encourage foreplay & quality time. Massage candles are a recent introduction by many of the luxury adult goods manufacturers & are fabulous for quality Boudoir fun. Encourage your partner to explore your erogenous zones with sexual enhancers & nipple gels, you don't need an arsenal of sex toys to focus on your sex life just time & motivation. Enjoy!

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.
