Blogger Review: G-Force Dildo

Check out this awesome review of our G-Force Dildo on Sex N’ Shoes!

A little teaser:

I’ve tried a lot of g-spot toys, but this is honestly one of my favorites. The long flexible neck and rounded head just hit my spot – it does it for me every time, and don’t get me started about pairing it with the Hitachi Magic Wand on my clit!

Blogger review: Pink Beaded Nipple Clamps

Check out Beautiful Dreamer’s review of our Pink Beaded Nipple Clamps!

Sez she:

The amount of pressure provided a pleasurable pain. And to my surprise, these stayed in place very well. The construction is good and the fact the beads are light weight help tremendously.

Party Hats. For your cock.

People are always concerned about whether working in a sex shop has made me jaded about sex. Whether it’s all ho-hum, boring now that all the deep dark secrets of sexuality have been laid bare at my feet.

What a ridiculous notion. I won’t go into it  here, because yet again, Greta Christina has beat me to it, and in an elegant and brilliant way. Read it.

Nevertheless, it is fair to say that it takes a lot to surprise me. Customers are always concerned that their proclivities and needs are the weirdest thing I will ever come across… that is just untrue. It is a rare and special day when something makes me titter with surprise and glee.

That day, my friends, is today. Check out, if you will the chocolate cock hats on this site.

I’m a fan of the Viking helmet, myself.

I see several problems with this line of products, some logistical, some health-related, others may just be my own personal preference. But really. How is it enjoyable to sit around eating a candy bar off someone’s cock without actually getting to the cock? Suddenly sucking dick is like one of those old Tootsie Pop commercials?

Yowza. These things should come with a warning.

Anyone have any good segue lines to bring the chocolate hat into the bedroom?

Staff Review: Ripley

I’m a pretty indecisive person. Or rather, I hate having to narrow down my choices when there are so many good options! This is why I love Ripley. Why choose between a butt plug and anal beads when you can get the best of both worlds in one shimmery purple toy?

Ripley is made of 100% medical grade platinum silicone – which means it’s incredibly durable, totally non-porous, easy to clean, and because it contains no metal components, you can even boil it to clean it (or put it in the dishwasher, if you’re so bold!). It also retains temperature nicely if you want to cool it down or heat it up (but not too much, please! No burning or freezing your hiney!) and if you hold a vibrator up to the base, it will transmit the vibration through the whole thing! And it comes in two sizes so you can find the perfect fit for you!

But the best part of Ripley is the design. It starts off very small at the tip and you can ease your way into it, one “bead” at a time. So by the time you get to the base of the toy, you won’t even realize you put the whole thing in. Seriously. That’s why this toy is great for beginners – so don’t be intimidated by the large base of the thing. It’s also lovely for experienced butt lovers as well, due to its unique shape. What happens is this – your anal sphincters close over each small “neck” between the “beads” and the open again as the beads get larger. This pulsating of your sphincter muscles can be very enjoyable as it mimics the contractions of orgasm (albeit slowly). When you get the thing all the way in, you can just enjoy the full feeling you get from any butt plug… and for the grand finale, pull the beads out slowly (or quickly… depending on your preference!) as you come, and it will enhance your orgasmic contractions. Heaven!

The only downside to the Ripley, as far as I’m concerned, is that the final neck at the base is kind of wide. What this means is as you’re doing your other business – masturbating or enjoying the company of others – it’ll slide out a bit, so that the long wide base is sticking out of your ass and you have to push it back  in. This isn’t a huge deal, as generally speaking, it’ll stop sliding once it reaches the biggest bead, but it can be a kind of weird sensation. Nevertheless, this is the *only* problem I have with this toy.

Basically, Ripley is a pure delight, for those who want to both have and eat their cake, or for anyone who wants a new ride for their butt to test drive.

Pakistani Mom n’ Pop fetish shop

It’s funny. This New York Times article reminds me of a character in Zadie Smith’s novel White Teeth – a Bangladeshi woman living in London who sews fetish gear out of her home for supplementary income. The article tells the story of two brothers who wanted to own their own business in Pakistan and stumbled across the lucrative fetish industry.  Somehow they manage (for the most part) to escape the scrutiny of the Pakistani government, partially because no one but them seems to know what fetish products are actually used for:

…the dozens of veiled and uneducated female laborers who assemble the handmade items — gag balls, lime-green corsets, thonged spanking skirts — have no idea what the items are used for. Even the owners’ wives, and their conservative Muslim mother, have not been informed.

“If our mom knew, she would disown us,” said Adnan, seated on a leopard-print fabric covering his desk chair.

“Due to cultural barriers and religion, people don’t discuss these things openly,” Rizwan said. “We have to hide this information.”

Even customs officials were perplexed at how to tax the items, not quite sure what they were, they said.

Recently, when a curious employee inquired about the purpose of the sleep sack, a sleeping bag-like product used in certain kinds of bondage, she was told it was a body bag for the American military in Iraq.

I am reminded yet again, how strange it is that death can be more palatable to some than sex. I have nothing new to contribute to that particular discussion, so I’ll just leave it for now.

Suffice it to say, I think I have that flogger.
