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...

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!)

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.
