Playful Positions for Fuller Figures

Pregnancy is a beautiful time for you and your partner, but sometime the beautiful belly starts to get in the way of your more traditional positions. Here are some fun varieties to try that are comfortable and safe for mommy and baby.

Soft Landing: Stack a pile of soft and fluffy pillows underneath your stomach and chest to cushion and support your body and neck. You will have comfort against the support and he has access to your body from behind. This position allows for adding a little anal play into the equation. The Havana Tush Toy kit can be used with or without vibrations. Using just the tip of the plug for external stimulation of the bum can be a lot of fun. In this position he should avoid pumping too hard or deep.

Wheelbarrow: This position is comfortable and easy. Simply lay curled on your side at the edge of your mattress with your neck and shoulder propped comfortably by a few soft and fluffy pillows. He stands between your butt and knees for easy penetration, and he will enjoy a wonderful view of you. In this position he can easily reach around and stimulate your clitoris with a small and compact Fuzuoku Finger Vibrator. Use the finger sex toy to slowly tease and tantalize!

Belly Up: Bracing yourself up against a headboard or wall allows for a shallower penetration that is pleasurable and fun. It also gives him access to touch your breasts, belly and clitoris softly. We recommend using pillows beneath your knees for comfort and support. Combining this with a couples toy like the Diving Dolphin can triple your pleasure! This toy comes with two bullets-one that vibrates against her clitoris as well as one underneath that stimulates him and her!

As you move along in your pregnancy we recommend visiting your doctor, intercourse should be fine if your pregnancy is progressing normally but if you have any complications be sure to discuss frankly with your doctor what you can and can not do.

Hello to all you voluptuous ladies out there. We’ve created a section just for you, to help you discover some creative and ingenious solutions to some playful positions. Being a plus size lady has many challenges with body image and some positions just don’t work. But instead of worrying about all that we’ve come up with a few fail safe solutions to just enjoy sex, no matter your size.

No Ouch Couch: The couch is perfect for sex furniture. Using the seat cushion to support you upper body and having more pillows supporting your arms and neck as well as cushioning your knees. You will feel cushioned and comfortable allowing him access from behind for deep penetration. This position is great for him to reach around to stimulate your nipples with some Ice Queen Nipple Gel or placing a compact mini vibrator on his finger like the Five Function Finger Vibe to slowly massage your clitoris. This position is also super for pleasuring the nerve rich anal area. Start slowly stimulating the outside with a small well lubricated butt plug like the Silicone Pleasure Plug or insert some small anal beads like the Fun Factory Bendy Beads. The beads are slowly pulled out during an orgasm providing a more intense experience.

Deep Mission: Continuing our couch theme, if you throw the back cushions to the side you will create a deeper couch on which to enjoy yourselves. You can lay back, get comfortable and open you legs wide for a deeper missionary penetration. The intimacy of gazing into each others eyes and giving him access to your breast and clitoris will make this an all around enjoyable position. If you find pillows too soft, a wonderful option would be The Liberator Sex Furniture. These triangular shapes allow you to move into unlimited positions while providing firm support. You won’t be limited by where you can and cannot have sex. The triangle shapes make it easy to slip into narrow spaces when not in use.

Good Headboard: Sometime being on top when you are a voluptuous lady can be awkward and uncomfortable. If you try using the head board as leverage you can lift and support your body with ease and the leverage allows you to speed up the action. This position gives him the added advantage of being able to lay back and have access to your clitoris. A vibrating cock ring like the Utopia Triple Action can be a fabulous addition to this position as it allows you full control of how much stimulation you want on your clitoris. You can tease yourself until you’re ready to orgasm. This couple’s sex toy also has an extra testicle ring for him-intensifying his orgasm.

How To Choose A Sexual Lubricant

Choosing the right lubricant can greatly enhance your sexual pleasure whether with a partner or for use on a sex toy. It decreases the friction and creates a slippery entry for your partner or toy. When choosing the right lubricant for you it can get overwhelming, this guide will help you choose the perfect sexual lubricant for you your toys and partner to use.

Specialty Lubes for Women. Lubricants designed just for women are generally very gentle and glycerin free. This helps to prevent the possibility of yeast infections in those with very sensitive skin. Some fantastic lubes for women are the Pink Lubricants, as well as the JO Agape.

Silicone Based Lubricants. If you like to have sex in the shower but find that the water washes away your lubricant then silicone is the one for you. This lube stays slippery until you wash it off with soap and water, no need to reapply, perfect for playtime in the bathtub. Some fun silicone lubricants to try are the ID Millennium or the Pink Silicone. Silicone lubricants should not be used with silicone toys; this can slowly erode the toy’s silicone exterior.

Flavored Lubricant. Flavored lubricants are the perfect choice for oral sex. They smell and taste delicious, while making it easier to perform. Some fun tastes to try are the O’My Flavors such as Melon or Pina Colada, JO flavors such as Strawberry or Tangerine, Hathor’s flavors such as Chocolate Strawberry or Hazelnut Caramel, and ID’s fun flavors such as Bubblegum or Mint.

Warming Lubricants. To add some heat to your sex play, try using a warming lubricant. This lubricant heats up against the skin providing a fun heated tingling sensation. Some fun lubes to try are the JO Warming, ID Warming or Pink Warming.

Textures: Lubricants have a variety of textures to think about. Whether it be smooth and watery or a thick gel you should choose the right lubricant for the play at hand. Thicker textures such as Slippery Stuff are fantastic for anal play. The thicker solution coats the body and stays for longer. Thinner lubricants such as O’my Natural or JO H2O are fantastic for sex play with your partner or with a toy.

Glycerin Free. Glycerin is a type of complex sugar, and found in most lubricants. Specialty lubricants especially for women are glycerin free. This is helpful for women with recurring yeast infection or severe sensitivity.

Water Based. Water based lubricants are among the most popular lubricants. Water based is safe for all sex toys and is very easy to clean.

Using a lubricant is a sure way to enhance your sexual play and fun, and with the varieties available you will be sure to find just the right one for you and your partner. Enjoy!

A Sexy Easter Pleasure Hunt

Celebrating the Easter season with chocolates and rabbits is always fun, but this year why not try something a little more daring with your partner for the Easter weekend. A fun way to spice things up is by sending your partner off on a sexy pleasure hunt, with you as the grand prize!

You can make your hunt as simple or complex as you wish, but here are some fun tips and tricks to make the wait worth the rewards.

1) To get your partner following your trail try taking some sexy photos of yourself using a digital or Polaroid camera. You could start off tame and show each photo with a little less clothing and a naughty pose, be adventurous and make a combination of naughty, risqué and sexy poses to lead them along the way.

2) Start off by putting your tamest picture someplace easy to find. Be creative and put the picture in a box of Easter chocolates or candies, and maybe a hint or clue as to what you wish them to do or where you will be.

3) Create a path throughout your home with each picture becoming racier; leave a few sexy treats like the furry cuffs, or Belgian Chocolate Body Paint along the way to spark some sensual ideas.

4) For yourself as the grand finale you had best take a good sip of wine and set yourself up in your sexiest duds. Whether you choose from racy lingerie or your birthday suit and a pair of heels, you should feel sexy and empowered!

5) Now here comes the fun part: you’re all sexy and fine and you’ve got your partner looking for you in anticipation, but how do you want to be found? Slinky in the bed with a feast of delights beside you? Or already restrained with the under the bed restraint system and ready for them to make a meal of you with the deserts you’ve left along the way. However you desire your treasure hunt to end from being tied up in bed to having a fun bath together with some passion bath salts you know that this will be a pleasure hunt you both will never forget.

If doing the full Easter hunt is too difficult due to little children running wild, perhaps a mini hunt is the way to go. Slip a sexy note or picture into your partner’s pocket during the morning and even a couple more throughout the day. This provides some stimulating anticipation for a fun night ahead. Slip them a designated time with the last sexy note and then be sure to have the little ones off to bed or with a sitter so that you can set yourself up as an Easter treat.

Honey's Q & A: After Pregnancy Intimacy

Q: I had a baby two months ago. My heart and brain are screaming for sex, but my body is still saying ‘no way!’ Will I ever be able to enjoy sex again?

A: Congratulations on the new addition to your family. You can certainly enjoy sex after pregnancy. The key is going slow and listening to your body.

Much will depend on how much wear and tear you experienced while giving birth. If you were torn or had an episiotomy, it could take longer before you truly feel comfortable during sex. Exactly how long depends on a number of things, including how long you normally take to heal, the extent of tearing or type of episiotomy, length of labor and whether the delivery was assisted by forceps or vacuum extraction.

Kegel exercises, up to 100 per day, are one step to getting your pelvic floor muscles strong again. Find the muscles by imagining you’re urinating. Squeeze the muscles as if you were stopping the flow of urine. Let go and try again. Squeeze and release repeatedly to strengthen the vaginal muscles. Adding a toy designed to help with Kegels such as Smart Balls or Lelo Luna Luxury Balls can be helpful and fun.

Even without tears, you will likely notice your vagina does not lubricate as well as before. This is due to low levels of estrogen. Also, breastfeeding can increase dryness as lactating women produce fewer of the ovarian hormones that make you lubricate. This means a good water-based lube is a must.

Plenty of foreplay is essential too. Not only will it help move lubrication along, but if your body isn’t feeling up to the act itself, foreplay can be the main event. Plenty of cuddling, petting, oral sex and mutual masturbation will help keep you and your partner physically close.

As your body heals, you may find certain sexual positions you enjoyed pre-pregnancy and even while pregnant no longer feel comfortable. Rather than dwelling on this as a negative, use it as an opportunity to try new positions. You may be pleasantly surprised. Side-to-side or woman-on-top positions will allow you more control and put less stress on body parts that may still be healing.

Most of all keep communicating with your partner and keep a sense of humor. If pain persists, see your doctor.

Valentine Picnic In Bed

Feeding your desire

Sex and food have been erotically linked for ages. Think of Marc Anthony feeding Cleopatra grapes. Casanova is rumored to have shared oysters with his lovers to stimulate their sexual appetites. And who doesn’t remember the steamy kitchen scene in 9 1/2 weeks? It’s not unusual to feel a familiar tingle while slowly savoring each bite of your favorite flavors. After all, aroma and flavor tease the senses in bed and at the table alike.

A Valentine’s Day picnic in bed is an ideal way to enjoy delectable delights of all kinds. No need to worry about recharging your batteries for your extended play session if you bring the right accoutrements to bed, namely sweet and savory items guaranteed to whet your appetite.

First, lay out an easy-to-wash picnic blanket to catch any crumbs and any, ahem, moisture. The Luscious Sex Blanket is a perfect moisture-proof playscape for your Valentine’s romp. Plush on one side, silky satin on the other and featuring an inner moisture barrier, it will keep your dry-clean only duvet spotless.

Now, what’s on the menu? Let your appetite be your guide. Here are some scrumptious suggestions:

• A sprinkling of Kama Sutra Honey Dust, made with pure, natural honey has a delicate scent and irresistible taste. Tickle and tease your partner with the soft feather applicator.

• Create an edible masterpiece with Belgian Chocolate Body Paint. This quality chocolate is sure to please the most discriminating chocoholic.

• Did you know the strawberry was a symbol of Goddess of Love Venus, because of its color and heart shape? Best of all, this fruit is just perfect for dipping in melted chocolate to feed your lover.

• Make oral sex even more fun with flavored lubes like ID Juicy Lubes or naturally flavored condoms like O’My Blo condoms.

• Grapes, a la Marc Anthony feeding Cleopatra, will ramp up your desire. Just be sure to buy the seedless variety!

• Because tingles shouldn’t be limited to below the belt, tickle both your tongues with a mouthful champagne as you kiss.

• To heat up your romantic romp, use edible oils that warm the skin and get hotter with the softest of blows, like Oil of Love.

• How many licks does it take to get to the centre? Find the answer with the help of silky, sultry Body Licks Skin Candy.

• Nipples will stand at attention with the help of a fruity balm like Nipple Nibblers. Or apply to your lips before giving your sweetie a surprisingly tingly kiss.

• Don’t forget honey, perfect for drizzling. An added bonus is honey is a natural moisturizer.

• Top off your lover with whipped cream and a cherry.

Tips and Thrills for The Boo-doire

Ever watch your favorite scary movie for the millionth time with your hands over your eyes, peeking through your fingers just as that particularly frightening yet thrilling part comes? Once you’re too old for trick-or-treating, Halloween really is all about getting a kick out of being frightened.

When you’re scared, your hormones kick in, resulting in a rush of adrenaline. This kicks up your physical strength and senses a few notches, something that comes in handy when playing with your partner.

All kinds of sexual kinks have roots in the fun of fear and the thrill of the unknown. Just the abbreviation BDSM (bondage/discipline, domination/submission and sadism/masochism) scares and thrills the pants off many. Think it’s too much for you? You’d be surprised how easy and exciting it is to customize to your needs.

BDSM covers a cache of kinks – spanking, wearing nipple clamps, blindfolds, gags, role playing, playing with hot and cold (think ice cubes and hot wax) and tying up your sweetie. It’s not about pain, but rather it’s about exploring what turns your crank. Following are some tips to getting your BDSM on:

Play safe: By this, we mean talk it out with your partner and make sure you’re on the same page when it comes to how far you’ll go. This means agreeing on…

A “safeword”: This is the word means stop. You can also have multiple words for “stop”, “slow down” and “let’s discuss.”

Start simple: Keep it simple in the beginning. Rather than trying full-on bondage, nipple clamps and hot wax all at once, start with one particular element and work your way up.

Hit me: Feeling naughty and in need of punishment? Old-fashioned spanking is a good start for beginners as you can better gauge how hard you are hitting. Keep it to the fleshier parts of the body and avoid super-sensitive areas like feet and hands.

Make it comfy: If the thought of being tied up gets you hot and bothered, start with something like fuzzy handcuffs or silk scarves. When tying knots, make sure you can slip two fingers between the restraints and your partner’s wrists or ankles.

Role-playing is another way to test your thrill-o-meter.

Costumes are fun any time of year. Is your man afraid of the doctor? Dressing the part of Naughty Nurse will cure what ails him, along with his fear of needles, in no time.

Ladies, if you’re the boss, let him be the boss now and then by playing the sexy, naïve Office Girl.

If you’re not up for full on dress-up yet, simply go to a bar and pretend you’re trying to pick your guy up. Wear a little something your partner wouldn’t normally expect, like Fishnet Thigh High Stockings. Give him a flirty look and perhaps a sneak peak of your, ahem, accessories, and you’ll be heading home or some other secluded area, pronto.

Advice on Prolonging Sexual Activity

Question: My boyfriend tends to get to the finish line much faster than me. What can help him prolong and/or for me to climax faster?

Answer: That is a common question we get at Honey! You will notice products for men tend to help them prolong and the opposite for women...they aim to help women reach orgasm faster. We are not sure why our biology is so different but simultaneous orgasms don't tend to be the norm for most couples.

Here are four things you can try:

1. Controlling the muscles with exercise and different breathing techniques. The exercises aid in controlling premature ejaculation as well as increasing sexual stamina. This is the basis for many tantric sex techniques so picking up a book or DVD (The Tantric Guide To Better Sex DVD) and practicing the exercises will help.
   


2. Applying a gel such as Kama Sutra Pleasure Gel Original or a spray such as Stud 100 on his penis. These products decrease the sensitivity for him hence helping him prolong. Both these items are safe and developed for this problem specifically.
   


3. Put on a cock ring. This can be slid on around the base of the penis but they function the most effectively when secured around both the scrotum and penis. Cock rings are designed to restrict the blood from flowing out of the penis, which can prolong an erection as well as create a firmer and slightly larger penis (this is a temporary result! The penis will not get larger with continuous use of a ring).
   


4. To reach orgasm faster for a women, she can stimulate her clitoris manually during intercourse, use a small external vibrator like the Layaspot which has a great curve that forms around the women's pelvis and clitoris, or a gel like Clitoral Stimulating Gel to increase the blood flow and circulation to the area.

Tips to make your sexual relationships fun

Of course you love your significant other. But do you still lust after them? If you want to keep that just-can’t-get-enough-of-each-other vibe alive, there’s a four-letter word you need to know: PLAY. Did you know that extended foreplay intensifies the “Big O”? Not only that, but sexperts agree that bringing play into the boudoir improves communication and deepens your relationship. And if there’s something you’ve been too shy to bring up with your partner, a little laughter can be a big icebreaker. So, what are you waiting for? Here are some ideas for playing your way to new heights of passion.

• If you loved playing dress up as a kid, why stop now? Always wanted to be a Vegas showgirl? Break out the sequins and feathers. Got a French Maid fetish? Naughty Nurse Nancy? Wicked schoolgirl? Whatever your fantasy, indulge it!
• To increase intimacy and take your relationship to a new level of sensuality, sex therapists recommend grownups-only board games such as A Hot Affair or the Kama Sutra Game. Learn new things about your partner – and yourself – while you enjoy an evening of sexy fun.
• Always been a water baby? Light some candles, fill the bath with bubbles and dive in with your partner. Scrub your sweetie’s back and don’t forget your favourite (vibrating) rubber duckie!
• Explore your artistic side and get your creative juices flowing. Use chocolate body paint to doodle, draw or write messages on your partner’s erogenous areas. Lick them off for a sweet treat.

Sexy Valentines Bath or Hot Tub for two?

Turn the bath into a romantic sexy getaway for two on Valentines. Here's some great suggestions to think about on making the special day bubbly and very erotic!

When your loved one get's home from work (you left early to prepare of course!), drop a path of rose petals from the front door into the bathroom or towards the hot tub...this will set the mood for sure!

Light a few candles and dim the lights. Some of my girlfriends favorites are the body candles, which can be used as body oil as well. Body Candles have a fragranced combination of waxes and oils designed for erotic massage. The body candle burns like a typical aromatic candle, creating a mood and filling the air with enticing scents. It drips and pours over your skin like a regular wax candle leaving sensations of warmth.

Drop an exotic scoop of Treasures of the Sea in your bath, which will transport it into the shimmering turquoise waters of the ocean. Try any kind of sensual bath salts (not sleepy lavendar though) maybe something like Kama Sutra Treasures of the Sea.

Are you the Naughty or the Nice girl? It doesn't matter when you can choose from two fun vibrator designs.

For the Naughty girl. There's Red Devil Duckie who is a good duck gone bad! This devil is dressed for mischief and powered up for fun. Costumed in a flowing red cape and cute little horns, this duckie is perfect for the bath, pool or spa. Designed to make your first shared bath especially invigorating!

For the Nice girl. About half the size of the Red Devil Duckie, I Rub My Duckie is perfectly sized for travel. Exceptionally quiet, it offers amazingly strong vibration. With its innocent eyes and traditional rubber duck body, it is the most discreet massager/vibrator available. Just press down on duckie's back and relax as powerful waves of vibration soothe away the stresses and tensions of daily life.

Splish splash, have some fun and sex on valentines!
