That's right! With one contest ended, it's time to promote another by Eden Fantasys!
This one is for the ladies and the gentlemen out there! Or, you can take the chance to win something for your loved one. :)
I haven't tried either of these toys, but they both sound absolutely superb. You can enter for the chance to win a Sinfonia vibrator or a Tenga Flip Hole.
Probably a six. It's had its fair share of amazing and terrible moments.
2. What are your favorite/naughtiest/sexiest/most fun 2009 memories?
Favorite: Crying with joy when my partner hugged me in greeting at the airport.
Naughtiest: Getting down and dirty while my parents slept upstairs, with my partner's hand pressed tightly against my mouth so that I'd stay quiet - two nights in a row.
Sexiest: Having an orgasm just from giving my partner a handjob. It doesn't sound like anything spectacular, but it was incredibly hot.
Most Fun: House sitting for one of my partner's co-workers.
3. What’s the one thing you thought you would never do, but did in 2009?
Buy a whip. Okay, so it's not something I thought I'd never do, but I finally got over my hesitation to purchase such items!
4. What do you want to change in 2010?
More sex! Especially when I'm down. It's good for you, right?!
5. What is your all-time favorite gift (whether given or received by you)?
In 2009, it'd have to be a Snuggie. I thought those things looked so silly, but I love mine and hardly ever take it off. The coolest gift I gave was a Fleshlight to my partner.
Bonus (as in optional): On special holidays- like birthdays, anniversaries, ringing in the New Year -are you more inclined to do a sex act that you wouldn't "normally" do? (things like fellatio/cunnilingus, anal sex, strap-ons/toys, videoing yourself/pictures, menage-a-trois/quatres, etc.)
Yes. I'm usually selfish in the sack... So I try to go out of my way to please my partner and will do (almost) anything he requests, which isn't really far off the beaten path.
So, it's obviously been far too long. Over the past six months, there's been a lot of turbulence and drama in my personal life that has kept me from being active. There are still things being cleaned up and worked through, but I'm really hoping to become somewhat active again, as I really want to pay attention to the sexual aspect of my life since it has been almost completely neglected.
As things are coming together, my drive is returning, and I've really been missing out! To get back into the swing of things, I ordered some goodies. Not that you can't have great sex without (new) toys, but yanno... ;)
For those who watch(ed) Scrubs, you might catch the reference. My partner and I are trying to plan a play day filled with nothing but sex and love making. We won't even escape the bedroom to eat, only to get the door when pizza arrives! Hopefully the new toys will arrive in time.
Anyway, I've got so much to catch up on: reading and writing reviews, blogs, forums, new toys, contests... I've changed my e-mail and tweaked my wishlist, but there's still much left to do. If there's anything particularly awesome that I've missed, please drop me a line! Happy Holidays and sexy adventures to everyone!
Well, it's a bit late in the game, but of course I still want to spread the word. And, everybody loves contests, right?
Well, you have until tonight at midnight for the chance to win the new and sexy Freestyle by OhMiBod from Eden Fantasys! For those who haven't heard, it's a wireless, rechargeable vibrator that will rock your world to to your favorite music via MP3 player, computer, or stereo. Better yet is that it can be used without your MP3 player too, with multiple vibrations.
It seems like forever since I last did a review. But fear not, that will soon come to an end! In this next month or so, I should have about seven reviews coming in. Yes, seven!!!
This includes three secret items, the Geisha's Secrets Kit by Shunga, Watermelon flavored H20 by System JO, the Bootie by Fun Factory, and the Double Beaded Ultimate BJ by California Exotic.

I’ve reviewed four sets of pelvic exercise balls: Fun Factory Teneo Uno, LELO Luna Beads, Fun Factory SmartBalls, and Fun Factory Teneo Duo. Here is a comparison of four sets by their size, materials, stimulation level, ease of insertion and features.
Note: This is a wonderful comparison of the four major pelvic exercise balls out there. It’s very basic in many ways but covers the topic well and gives a lot of wonderful details.
Epiphora is putting on a really cool contest at her blog and through Twitter. The prize is the Pure Package by RubyGlass21: two bumpy glass dildos. The straight, shorter dildo is for kegels (or whatever you want ;] ) and the longer, curved dildo is for g-spot stimulation.

How to Enter
Tweet this text: RT @Epiphora: I’m giving away a set of two bumpy glass dildos! Retweet to enter. Rules + picture: http://is.gd/Cldd. (I will only count it if you include “@Epiphora,” and I’d prefer if you keep the link to this entry intact. Otherwise, go wild with the text — then it won’t be a retweet, but that’s fine.)
You may tweet up to once a day. Each tweet counts as one entry. It’s up to you to decide how much you want to annoy your followers.
This is my first video review, so I apologize in advance for my nervousness, pauses, and the fact that a USB port is not the same as a USB plug. Oops! Hope it’s not too awful and thanks for watching!
One thing I forgot to say is that while she’s charging her light will pulse and when she’s completely charged she’ll emit a steady glow.
If you’d rather read:
Hey everybody, it’s Lithaewyn. Today I’m going to show you the LELO Mia, which is my favorite vibrator so far! When I first received her, I have to admit I was disappointed in her lack of raw power in comparison to standard vibrators, but all her other perks make up for it.
The number one reason why Mia is spectacular is because she is extremely quiet. When I first turned her on, I almost had to do a double-take to be sure she was working. Granted, most women probably won't use Mia on her lowest setting, but even her highest setting is comparable to low or medium on standard vibrators.
Supposedly it's common with LELO products, but she does emit a very high-pitched buzz similar to ringing in your ears. However, don’t be worried about being found out; I would have never associated such a sound with a sex toy.
The vibrations have four different pulsation types: steady vibration, roller-coaster, heartbeat, and fast heartbeat, and you simply hold down the plus button to switch between them. To turn it off, simply hold down the negative button.
She charges via USB port which is really cool. It's unfortunate that the cap doesn't screw on because sometimes it has the tendency to slowly slip off during use, but it's not much trouble. When she's charging, her LED light will fade in and out, and when she's completely charged, a steady glow will appear.
Cleaning: The most important note I need to pass on regarding Mia's safety is that Mia's worst enemy is water, so don't even risk taking her in the shower. It's best to even use toy wipes when cleaning her versus washing with a soapy wet cloth as well. So, water and Mia? Just don't do it.
Lubricants: Mia is mostly made of plastic, but has a stainless steel band as well as a silicone control pad. If you must use lubricant, only use water-based lubricants such as Pink Water or Maximus.
She comes with the standard LELO packaging - a decadent black box, a white satin pouch, a user manual which is very important to read, a one year warranty, and a USB extension cord for charging.
Experience: When I first tried the Mia, I was actually really disappointed. Her quietness and appearance were all wonderful, but her vibrations just didn’t cut it for me that day. But since I’ve had Mia for a little while now, she’s moved to the top of my toy box and I use her just as much, if not more, than my LELO Ella (my first "girlfriend"). Together they make an awesome duo. So have patience with the Mia if you know that you can get off on lower vibration settings because it won’t take long for her to impress you!
Review: These nipple clamps are the epitome of Goddess-like sexiness. Even with a total of four inches in length, they don't distract from a woman's natural beauty. The beads on each clamp are an extremely shiny and elegant flair. These clamps offer the sultry look of nipple jewelry without needing to be pierced. → Click here to read the rest of the review!
Sorry! It has been a while. I just finished finals this week and this weekend I can't get away from my family. I had wanted to finish my review on the Mia but college got in the way. Expect a video review on Monday!
Also, I should be receiving these nipple clamps any day now. I want to wear them all the time haha! So there should be a review on them next week too.
I would write more but I'm just too exhausted... See ya 'round.
Pros: Beautiful shine, splash-proof, moderate bee. Cons: Could be more powerful, pointed tip.
Review: The Pleasure Softee G-Spot Curve by California Exotic is a good choice for those who want to experience what a g-spot vibrator can offer, but don’t want to spend a lot on a higher end product. Although it’s got a very basic design, the vibrator itself is made of TPR Silicone (and therefore not safe with silicone lubricants) and is a very pretty shimmery and pearlescent pink or purple. → Click here to read the rest of the review!
Many people in the sex toy community like to keep their identities a secret. But there are others who are out in the open, and often times they have video reviews or post pictures of themselves publicly.
I wonder to myself, how did these people get to that point? How did they come to reach that level of comfort? Do they often worry about its impact on the relationships with their families, peers, and employers?
Honestly, a pseudonym can only go so far to hide identity. Even video posts that don't show the reviewer and just the toys could possibly be revealed by his or her voice. Heck, even some are found out when they have done an exceptional job of hiding behind a keyboard and not shared a darn thing other than words.
I do want to virtually high five those who are out in the open. It's very refreshing and more personable to see a face behind the words. Great job!
I would like to be one of those people. I don't want to hide, mostly because I think it shouldn't be necessary to hide oneself. Omg sex toys no wai~~~! What's the big deal? Why are people looked down upon for enjoying sex toys? This is my only fear: rejection.
It's going to be Mother's Day very soon. How are you going to show your appreciation? Or, if you are a mom, go out and spoil yourself!
But in the meantime, why not join a cool contest? You can win body scrub and massage oil for yourself or your awesome mom! Click here to see the rules and enter. :)
Captivity Cuffs are excellent for beginners, roleplaying, and a passionate or kinky escapade. They work for any type of scenario since the faux fur can easily be removed from the cuffs for a more serious naughty time. They have a very handy keyless release, so if you are new to bondage and leery towards lockable cuffs, don't fear. The keyless release is also great in case the keys are lost, which can easily happen given that these cuffs will last forever.
My partner and I purchased a pair of these half in jest and half in seriousness. These cuffs opened the door to light bondage for us, and they have seen many uses and are still in tip top shape after a couple years of use. Even with the faux fur they can hurt after prolonged use, but it totally depends on how they are being used and how tightly one applies them. They are completely functional as well, allowing the user the ability to restrain his or her partner anywhere imaginable. Even if a room has no place to hook these around, they still prove useful just as standard cuffs by strongly limiting the bound person's range of movement and allowing him or her to be controlled.
Just as an important side note, on each cuff there is a small lever. When they are toward the chains, the keyless release may be used. When the lever is facing the wearer's wrists, the cuffs are completely locked and the keyless release will not work. So the users don't have to worry about them accidentally bumping open during use - which has never happened to us anyway.
The more experienced and serious users may want to look elsewhere since these cuffs aren't created to be compatible with bondage furniture, but they might work. If you are looking for police-type handcuffs in particular, these make a great choice because of the faux fur sleeves and nobody has to worry about lost keys.
If dirty, they can easily be cleaned with soap and water and the faux fur can be removed for washing. Do not place the faux fur in the dryer, because the fibers will melt together. Take good care of them and they should last a lifetime!
1. Have you ever bought a membership to a porn site? If yes, what is the most recent one and did you like it? No. I'm not a big porn fanatic, and so I'd prefer not to pay the few times I do watch it!
2. Would you rather watch a erotic/porn movie, read a story, or listen to an audio? Why? I'd rather read an erotic story. But I currently don't buy books because I'm a student (I'm usually a one time reader), and have a hard time finding great erotica online. So I often settle for porn...
3. If you have a significant other what do you do for each other to get in the mood? If you don't what would you kind of thing could a future potential long term partner do to get you in the mood? Oh, lots of the typical foreplay. We tend to draw it out for a very long time, starting from fully clothed and probably in public to absolutely naked in private. A lot of it is sensual, or dirty talking, and probably oral before we do the do.
4. When it comes to sex, how much do you talk about it with others? How comfortable are you talking about sex? I don't... currently. Other than with some people online. I'm definitely comfortable talking about safe sex and joking about sex in general, but I'm not really close enough to people to talk about it much.
5. What are the last 5 things you search for on Google (or another search engine)? Boring things:
[insert my college's name] astronomy Olympics How to Lose Friends and Alienate People USPS 서태지 -> Korean singer System Jo -> yay lube!
I usually search "dirty" things in chunks... Obviously during my last 4/5 searches, I wasn't in that mindset.

I may be a submissive, but I’m not into pain, so comfort was very high on my list of requirements. I went to many of the sex toy sites and their collars just didn’t seem to cut it, they looked flimsy and uncomfortable.
I admit I’m biased because I lust after everything Sinvention makes, but I thought the review was wonderfully written and really pulled me in, then I found out this was her first review which surprised me (maybe because my first many reviews were crap), and I knew I had to choose her this week!
I could make a model of his cock, it would be fun, and I wouldn’t be using it to fuck boys or girls with (since candles make very poor dildos. I know from experience. Don’t ask.)
I always love Wendy’s reviews and this is a particularly wonderful and hilarious one. Her stories are always delightful, and even though the kit was full of fail the post is full of win. Definitely worth a read!

I am an advanced reviewer now. :) Thanks everyone who voted for me!
I already have my first assignment on its way shortly.
Also, I think I finally decided on the Mia. I haven't ordered yet, but I still have the weekend to stew over it.
Storage: A change of plans! I came across some beautiful makeup storage by Caboodles® that is a little smaller (7" high, 9.5" wide, and 6.5" deep) but hopefully more functional. I ordered the Rock Star model in black lace with a purplish interior. It is lockable and will fit under my bed!
So I will be having five to six items in my review queue. Be patient with me.
New Queue: H20 Flavored Lubricant (Watermelon) by System JO Secret! EF Assignment Mia by LELO Secret! Rock Star storage by Caboodles®
By the way, the reason I keep some items a secret is that my special someone has access to this blog. ;)
I'm tired of digging out my toys from my dresser late at night. My dresser is antique, creaky, and makes shrill squeals when I open the drawers... How annoying. So I've decided that even though I don't really have a lot of items right now, I need alternate storage and soon.
While the Divine toy boxes are really pretty and cute and the For Your Nymphomation items are wonderfully functional, I don't desire to spend anywhere near that amount of money. So I poked around and discovered vintage train cases, like the Samsonite Profile locking vanity train case. I can find it on eBay for less than $20, and its size is awesome: 14 1/2" long x 7 1/2" wide x 7" deep x 9" tall. While it might not be the prettiest, it appears to be adequate in size and organization, and it locks. You can stick it under your bed or hide it in your closet. If anyone asks, "Why, it's luggage of course!"
So be expecting a review of it soon. I don't have a whole lot of toys, but also be sure that when I do, I will follow up. :)
All items that don't have a linked review are in the queue to be reviewed. If there is ever one that you'd like to see very soon, please drop me a line and I will try to be accommodating. :)
