Fund Raiser

My new friends at WhisPur have decided to help out one of their local planned parenthood centers by donating some of the proceeds of selected toys. I love the idea -- use toys instead of going out and getting pregnant. Fantastic! So, if you were considering getting a toy for a special friend for Christmas, consider one of these. Then you'll both get to feel good. Here is what they have to say about it -

"WhisPur has selected 10 items from the product line, that when purchased either thorough a home party or via a website sale, $1.00 for each of those items sold will be donated to Planned Parenthood of Maryland for the Peer Educators Group.  The fundraiser kicks off on November 1 and runs until December 3rd, 2006.  All information can be viewed on the website.  You can click on a link to find out additional information about this group, and there are links to the 10 items that when purchased, will help this cause.  By hosting a home party, you still earn all the benefits of being a Hostess!  So, have an evening with the girls and help the cause.  Shows are offered through out the US, please contact us to see if we have a representative in your area.  Call 1-888-561-7751 or email Fundraiser@whispur.com"

Sound Advice

Here's a good article with some good advice about choosing safe toys, keeping them clean, and using them wisely. Check it out here.

Bushplug

It's Halloween-time again, and I found something truly scary and wonderful - more terrifying than the Satan Dildo that I reviewed last year. Yes, that's right, it's a Bush butt plug! Now, you too can feel the "power" of our president. Please check it out now!

Toy Travel

I always travel with a toy or two, but I haven't been anywhere lately. Here is a fantastic article about the best way to travel with toys and lube in today's current conditions. There are some things mentioned in here that never occurred to me.

Check it out here.

Dildo Art

Dildo Art is a very strange site. I'm not sure if it is stupid or ingenious - well - that's not really true - I know it is stupid but there is something ingenious about its stupidity.

You are going to have to check this one out for yourself.
Don't say I didn't warn you...

Kinky Hotels

Hotel Chatter is running a story about hotels whose amenities include goodies like vibrators and lube. Time to kick Holiday Inn to the curb...

DIY Sex Toys

There is a great article in the Village Voice about do it yourself sex toys (something I have dabbled in from time to time - see the Perversions section for more). It features one of the best taglines ever - "why does the purple Magic Marker smell like ass?"

England's Victory Vibe

I'm not a sports chick so this whole World Cup thing baffles me but I know that it is a really big deal to a whole lot of people all over the world. There is no better proof of that than this - a special vibrator emblazoned with a St.George flag logo. If you are a british fan and a chronic masturbator you can finally combine your passions. Go team go!

The first dildo?

Apparently, our ancestors liked it rough.

Masturbation Month

Apparently May is Masturbation Month. Awseome! Another excuse to indulge myself. You should do likewise. Turn off the computer and get busy! I have included this previously unpublished picture from my Liberator shoot to help motivate you (click to enlarge).

It's May 4th already. We have a lot of catching up to do.

The Tantra Chair

The craftsmen at Zen By Design offer a really sexy piece of handmade furniture that I was considering buying until I checked the price tag. The Tantra Chair is hand made and looks like everything about it is luxurious. For example, you can choose between a wide variety of leather, velvet, silk, brocade and chenille apholstery options. It is designed to help lovers discover new lovemaking positions. If it were more reasonably priced I would definitely put it through it's paces. Ah well, there is always Christmas, right?

Antique Vibrator Museum

Yet another reason I wish I could afford to live in California. Joani Blank, the founder of Good Vibrations has been collecting antique vibrators for more than 20 years and occasionally displays them in their San Francisco and Berkeley stores. There is a virtual version of this collection here.

Golden Rod

In my search for the best of the best I turned up what may or may not be the best but is certainly the swankiest. An outfit called Jimmyjane offers gold and platinum plated vibrators. These things are elegant and beautiful. They are also waterproof and silent. You can personalize these beauties by having them inscribe up to 35 characters in a ring around the base, which makes them an ideal gift for the sexually adventurous.

The 50 Cent Dildo

Now I have heard everything. 50 Cent is reported to be looking for someone to market a blue version of his manhood so female fans can pretend to have sex with him. Good thing his fame hasn't gone to his head, huh? The sad part is there might actually be a market for it. If this happens you will have to forgive me if I don't review it.

South Carolina Considers Sex Toy Ban

A proposed bill would make it a felony to sell devices used primarily for sexual stimulation. Unbelievable. Maybe if conservative lawmakers used more toys they would have less time to draft assinine bills. If you live in South Carolina let me know if you have heard anything else about this.

Mile High Kits

This site offers something I have been tempted to create for myself - a simple kit that contains everything I might need for a round of wild, spontaneous sex. They have done better than I could have and fit everything into a cool little pouch that looks like I could drop it into my purse (or carry on luggage). The kits come in two sizes and are very reasonably priced.

How to use a Vibrator

This page contains a lot of basic information about sex toys and how to use them. If you are just starting to explore the use of toys in your sex life, this is an excellent resource. There are very few pictures and no illustrations, so it serves as as a kind of introductory glossary. This would be a shortcoming if it weren't so easy to look elsewhere for more information about specific topics. 

Fixing Broken Vibrators

In case you haven't seen it yet there is an excellent article on Sex Toys Pro about fixing broken vibrators making the rounds. You can find it here. I haven't tried any of this out yet but Gray is a gadget freak so I'll try to talk him into putting the advice in the article to good use on some of my "fallen soldiers". If he does I'll let you know how his tinkering turns out.
