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!

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.

Creating a Boudoir Toy Box

“Remember the Toy box you had as a kid? Make an adult version, then take turns picking and playing…” (Tracy Cox Super Sex Deck)

Even though you have to “grow up” it doesn’t mean you still can’t have your childish desires. Picking your favorite toy from a toy box brimming full can provide just as much pleasure now as it did so long ago. With the holiday season past and the excitement of spring around the corner its time to start taking stock of your toys and renewing the old or starting off with the new.

A toy box is more than just a few vibrators, its full of wondrous items that will provide hours of sensual stimulation, laughs and fun. Your adult toy box should be full of everything you fancy, from of course your vibrators and dildos, to erotic books, DVD’s, edible goodies, massage and bondage. From sweet to racy your box should speak to your every desire and mood. So here are some fun ideas to fill your box with some sexy and fun items to get started!

Pleasure Toys: At least one or more vibrator such as the Lelo Gigi which will provide you with the option of internal or external stimulation, and is curved for the g-spot to boot. Other fun gadgets could include erotic videos and sex aids and even a Polaroid or digital camera for some sexy shots to share.

Dress-up: Any good toy box should have some dress up. From the traditional role-play costumes like the Naughty Nurse to leather corsets and whips to help act out any fantasy.

Laughs: Anything edible helps the laughter roll, especially if it can be licked, sucked or rubbed off, such as the candy g-string and bra or body licks. For more fun and laughter using sexy board games like the Hot Affair game or using Tracy Cox’s Super Sex Deck to help make your evenings a fun filled sexy event.

Good Reads: Erotica is always a good way to rev your engines and get the evening off to the right start. Whether a book such as Sweetlife or with the help of magazines, you should always have a few good options at your disposal.

Bondage: Silk stockings or sexy bondage scarves, bondage has never been more fun than with the addition of our new Babushka line. Made in Vancouver B.C. (name) has created a sexy line of tie up solutions that are beautiful silk and fun colors. You will want to leave them out all the time they are so fantastically soft and beautiful. If silk is not your style we have fantastic furry cuffs and the under the bed bondage kit for something a little more hard core. Whatever your fancy, bondage whether light or intense should have a part of your toy box.

If your concerns about your children or stray guests pawing through your box of goodies than we suggest investing in a fun and sexy locked box. Your toys can be hidden away and there are lots of different styles out there that you could find something beautiful as a décor statement as well as a functional hidy hole for toys. Another fantastic hiding spot for your box is high up in the upper part of your closet, as long as you are tall enough to reach and your little ones are still little than you can have piece of mind. Just make sure to send them off to bed early and lock the doors to make a sensual atmosphere when you and your partner wish to pull out your toys and set up and evening of sensual fun and delight.

Erotic Movies For Couples

The brisk chill in the air, rain, sleet and hail are precluding the wonder of the winter months. With the end of day light savings the nights creep up sooner and we must take shelter in the comfort of fuzzy covers and body heat. So what better way to spend those cozy nights snuggled together than to watch a movie?

Statistics have shown that it’s no longer men who monopolize visual stimulation. In a recent study it has been shown that 75% of couples are now enjoying erotic videos to spice things up. Allowing you to possibly re-enact you favorite parts or just enjoy the show! With the coming of the chills we’ve brought in a fun new selection of sexy pornography videos to heat up the blankets and warm your toes.

If it is your first time entering the world of erotic movies, we recommend going for the classics. With Jenna Jameson is the Masseuse you have the original and the new version, its two videos in one! It shows us the fun and exciting life of a masseuse as she reveals her favorite games to play with clients. To really set yourself up for a sensual evening we recommend breaking out your own massages oils, candles and open minds. Watch the video first or join along, just as long as you have fun and heat things up! We recommend using Kama sutra oil of love massage oil; it is edible and warms to the skin to help keep the chill at bay.

Another great classic video is Debbie Does Dallas East vs West. A young cheerleading captain and her squad in a fantastic erotic video, need we say more? To make the evening more realistic you could dress up in the private school girl costume just for him see what the evening has in store for you.

If your ready for something a little more raw and are ready to ramp things up a notch we recommend watching Chemistry or Jenna Love Pain. These two videos are sexy and take you to a whole new world, whether you want to try it or just feel content to watch, you’ll be sure to open new doors of sensual adventure. If you feel the desire for some video props we recommend the Luscious Sex blanket and Floggerella Leather Whips to make the evening a surprise event.

If you’re feeling a little devilish we recommend The New Devil in Miss Jones. The lovely virgin is enticed by the Devil played by Jenna Jameson, now Miss Jones must submit to the Devil’s every whim and desire. Enjoy this movie just as a show or pull up some submission techniques of your own with the Devilish Weekend Kit. Take turns being the devil and enjoy a sexy weekend away.

If none of these erotic videos have caught your fancy or imagination, then perhaps a little education fun will be of service to you. With fun new titles like the Expert Guide to Anal Sex, or the Expert Guide to Oral Sex, you and your partner can heat up the sheets while learning a little something new.

So to start the season off right go ahead and explore your sensual boundaries using videos and props to guide you along or spark your imagination. Heat the sheets and spend the season cozy in bed, as there is no better way to spend the holidays.

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.

Great Sexual Arousal Techniques

Getting aroused is all about preparing your body for the act itself. Your heart kicks it up a notch, blood pressure rises and muscles tense. Blood flow to your nether-regions increases, making it hard to think.

Here are some ideas on how to turn guys and gals on:

• For her, many consider the clitoris the golden ticket.
  Massaging with a gel will keep things slick while boosting her sensitivity by increasing blood flow to the clitoris. Plus, adding clitoral stimulation while also stimulating the G-spot will send her over the top. Not just for use with a partner, it will help a woman help herself. (We recommend O Clitoral Stimulating Gel)



• But don’t dive for the clit right away.
  Start with massaging her other parts. Breast stimulation is fun for both him and her.



• For him, it’s visual and tactile. For her, it just feels darn good when done right.
  Symmetry, equal attention to both sides, is essential, as is starting slowly and gently. No cold hands please – massage oil can help keep things warm. Most importantly, read her cues. Some women prefer you keep it gentle, while others enjoy a nip. (To help tease and add a tasty sensation,we recommend using a flavored lube or Kama Sutra Honey Dust.)
  
  
• Less explicit things.
  Sexual arousal is often piqued by less explicit things and can start with seemingly non-sexy acts such as her partner taking out the garbage or preparing dinner, not to mention cleaning up afterwards
  
  
• Physical affection without sex helps up arousal.
  Touching – hugs, cuddles, kisses – all build the electricity for her. When having sexual contact, build it up with plenty of foreplay, focusing on the whole body, not just her sexual bits.
  
  
• Separate from work.
  Separate stress from work and other outside sources from your life as a couple. An added bonus is stress release can lead to sex, sex being the ultimate in stress release. Does your partner like a deep or gentle massage? You never know where a well-timed foot rub may lead.
  
  
• More than just Pete.
  Though men and women alike joke that men can only function mentally when their other head is not in use, to truly arouse a guy, it’s about more than just Pete – remember the boys, the neighboring perineum, and sometimes a little anal play is more than welcome.
  
  
• Mouthwash adds sensation.
  More suction doesn’t necessarily translate to good head. Teasingly licking his balls and shaft will help build up to the moment. Gargling with mouthwash beforehand, in addition to giving you minty fresh breath, will give him a tingly sensation.
  
  
• Stimulate his P-spot.
  While giving him head or hand, help finish him off with a perineal massage or stimulate his P-spot (prostate) with butt play. The perineum is the super sensitive spot between his testicles and anus. Press firmly and pump with a finger or knuckle to send him over the edge. Straight men who claim their butt is one-way only have likely never had the nerve-rich anus explored. A lot of lube, gentle touch and small toy. (We recommend the Finger Fun Vibrator - it can be a real eye opener. )
  
  
• Visual turn-ons.
  Then there are the visual turn-ons. Looking for something you can enjoy together, beginning to end? How about shopping for porn together? Yes, women like and are turned on by porn. It just has to be the right kind – there’s more out there than ‘70s porn with bad music and bad facial hair. The selection is tremendous, with women-directed flicks, natural bodied actors, plot-filled films and out-and-out sexfests.
  
  
• Suggested Reading material for him.
  Sexpert Lou Paget’s How To Give Her Absolute Pleasure book is chock full of ideas on how to build intensity.
  
  
• Suggested Reading material for her.
  Paget explores how to blow his mind too in How To Be a Great Lover. It’s about more than the penis, from his neck down to his perineum, testicles and, ahem, into his P-spot (prostate).

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 For Sexy Adult Halloween Parties

For many adults, the sheer joy of dressing up and celebrating October 31 is something they never outgrow. Approximately 85% of adults who celebrate Halloween will dress up for the festivity! This is why Halloween parties are a great thing for ghosts and ghouls both young and old.


Halloween's Origin:
The Celts, 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. They believed that on Oct 31 the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. So they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. Druids built huge sacred bonfires, gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes.

Spice up Halloween - 8 GREAT Ideas!
Halloween is not only for kids, and doesn’t have to be so innocently eerie. Halloween can be very sexy and erotic for adults! Dare to be different? Here are some great ideas and tips to make your Halloween party for adults sexy and exciting!

1) Host a Lust Party
Lustful tidbits – think suspenders and black fishnet stockings, 50s and 60s sex sirens; Marilyn Monroe, Jane Fonda, Brigitte Bardot, garters, blonde wigs, beauty spots, stiletto heels, bustiers, corsets, knee high boots and minis, choker collars, red lipstick and nails, ultra-long cigarette holders, black teddies (the one you wear, not the one you cuddle), Play bunny costume ( or black leotard and fur tail and ears will do it).

2) Have Your Own Fetish & Fantasy Party.
Invite your friends & coworkers over to be a Sexy School Girl, S&M Police Woman, Playbunny, or a Dawn of the Dead Pimp. Crank up some techno tunes on the CD player. Rent some old horror movie DVDs and project them on the wall without sound to give the room atmosphere. Get out the satin blindfold and the furry handcuffs for party games. You could play Spin the Vibrator, Blind Man in the Buff, or Pin the Tail on the blow up doll.

3) Have an Erotic Video Scavenger Hunt
Although being in costume isn’t necessary for the scavenger hunt, it certainly adds some extra humor! Scavenger Hunt is a classic…make it more exciting and exciting for the adults. Imagine the fun of teaming up and going around the house and the neighborhood to try to find the elusive "treasures" on your list.

Here’s some suggestions:

1. Divide guests into teams.
2. Give each team their Halloween theme scavenger hunt list and a video camera to record their hunting efforts.
3. Teams must race around town either by car or on foot and try to find all of the items on the list. Teams must use their video camera to record their findings.
4. The first team to return with recorded proof that they found all of the items wins.
5. Wait until all of the teams have returned and have a group viewing of all of the video taped scavenger hunts.

And some task ideas for the erotic scavanger hunt:

• Go to a graveyard and find a specific name on a tombstone.
• Take a video of you in front of a strip joint.
• Go to a grocery store and find some naughty produce (extra points for cucumbers and zucchinis)
• Go to a bar find out how many brands of beer they serve.
• A "large-size" condom (not used please)
• A dead-battery vibrator
• Go to a video rental store and find out what year the movie Halloween was made.
• Well-read erotica book or Magazine
• Some whipped cream
• A tube of lube
• Find a stranger who will let you wrap them up in toilet paper

4) Play "Skeleton in the Closet."
Don’t know how? Easy! Get everyone together and one by one, each goes into the closet. Once in the closet, they have to tell, out loud, a secret sexual fantasy before they get let out again.

5) Move Over Bobbing for Apples!
Let’s spice it up a notch. The Sexy costume contest keeps people coming back year after year, but why not change the contest? Have an Erotic Body Tattoo Contest and then allow your guests to lick it off each other after! Match up in pairs and use your creative side to apply tattoos with a Body Talk Chocolate tatoo Set. Hmmn, what will the winners get? Maybe a vibrating disposable cock ring or some flavored lube pillow packs?

6) If Weather Permits Outdoors, Try "Blood Wrestling".
Who Like mud wrestling, but I fill a kiddy pool with corn syrup and red food coloring. Be sure to offer soap, and a place to hose off privately. Great event if you have a vampire theme.

7) Tell a Scary Erotic Story.
Dim the lights and start telling a scary story to your guests (find a good one in a book or on the Internet, even better if it’s erotic!). When you get to spooky parts, you start speaking in a whisper and then Bam! You pull out and turn on your vibrator, Hitachi wand, or similar sex toy and touch the people near you with it. Of course, they’ll scream and say, "Stop! Don’t!" but you and I know they won’t really mean it.

8) Don’t like partying in a group atmosphere, want something quiet and sexy?
But still want to celebrate Halloween with your favorite costume and goblin? No problem. Just have a Party for Two. Oh, the fun you can have with just an intimate gathering. Put on a Sexy Halloween Costume, light some romantic candles (maybe try body candles and use them for the massage later!) and don't forget to bring out the furry handcuffs. Why not start the night with a romantic Halloween dinner? Serve black bean soup in small hollowed-out pumpkins. Use a pastry bag to top each bowl with a ghost-shaped dollop of sour cream just before serving.

Honey Gifts in Vancouver, BC, has a range of sexy costumes for Halloween or anytime of the year for sexy role-playing.

Aphrodisiac foods helps your sexual appetite

Ever notice how some foods just make you more, well, amorous? Think rich, sweet chocolate, chilled, briny oysters, crisp, juicy grapes and robust red wine.

Since ancient Greek and Roman times, certain foods have been thought to possess special powers, increase virility and stimulate the sex drive. Named for Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, early aphrodisiacs were said to increase fertility. Many resembled seeds or semen (e.g., bulbs, eggs, snails). Others were said to have magic powers because they resembled male or female, er, parts (e.g., oysters, sliced figs, or the phallic rhinoceros horn.)

More recently, asparagus, pine nuts, rosemary, basil, black beans and artichokes have all been dubbed aphrodisiacs. Coincidentally (or not?), many of these foods are also low in fat and high in vitamins and minerals. Turns out Mom was right – veggies are good for you! And if you’re looking to raise the romance quotient, the ancients suggested steering clear of dill, lentils, lettuce and watercress.

For tasty and tantalizing treats for two, check out:

• Inter Courses, An Aphrodisiac Cookbook Filled with stunningly sensual photos, this gorgeous hardcover book delves into the history of aphrodisiacs and includes more than 85 heart-melting dishes that are served as easily off the body as the plate. Match aphrodisiacs with a special occasion, the season or even your partner’s astrological sign. What’s our favourite aphrodisiac? Honey, natch!
  
  

G spot 101

Pleasure Hunt
Named for German physician Ernst Grafenberg, who first discovered it, the G-spot is located a couple of inches inside the entrance to the vagina, above the pubic bone on the front of the vaginal wall.

New to G-spot stimulation? Start with some hands-on exploration on your own. Insert one or two fingers into your vagina and bend them towards the front wall, applying pressure toward the pubic bone until you feel a small, bean-sized, slightly ridged mass of firm tissue. Feel a pleasant sensation? You’ve hit the spot.

Now What?
Delicate caresses and in-and-out movements? Forget ‘em. The G-spot responds best to firm pressure and quick, rubbing strokes. For the multi-taskers in the group, try stimulating the G-spot and clitoris simultaneously. Yowza! Ready to let your partner in on the party? The best sex positions for G-spot stimulation are female superior (facing away from your partner) or doggy style.

The Big OOOOH!
Ok, you say, but what does it feel like? The truth is, no two women respond to G-spot stimulation in the same way. Some gals find it pleasant but hardly earth shattering. Others find it downright uncomfortable. And yes, it’s true, some women experience intense sensations and orgasms that register on the Richter scale.

Finding and understanding your G-spot takes patience, practice and a little play. So relax, check your Type A tendencies at the door and enjoy the ride.

Looking for sex toys to hit your G-spot? I recommend the Silicone Starlight G-Spot , Fun Factory G-Spot Worm Vibrator or the Crystalessence Chubby G-Spot Vibrator .

Sex tips travelling for a steamy holiday

Jetting off for a dream vacation or just sneaking off for a quick weekend getaway? Here are some tips for traveling with toys and suggestions for a steamy holiday…

• Why give inquisitive customs agents something to snicker about? Pack toys in your checked luggage rather than in your carry-on bag.
• Whether you stow toys in your luggage or bring them on board for a little in-flight entertainment, remove the batteries while they’re not in use.
• It’s your personal life – keep it that way with non-staining lubes and massage oils. At best, stained linens are embarrassing. At worst, they’re costly, if you have to replace the B&B's 600-thread-count sheets.
• Traveling with kids or visiting family? Consider sex toys that go incognito, like those that resemble tubes of lipstick, rubber duckies, even pieces of artwork!
• You’re on a deserted, sun-drenched beach. There’s no one around for miles. Before you indulge that sex-on-the-beach fantasy, a quick reality check. Spread out a large towel – a blanket’s even better – to keep intrusive grains of sand out of delicate places.
• Sexperts may advise against underwater penetration, but that doesn’t mean an end to your sex-in-the-sea fantasies. Pleasure your partner orally (make it a game – who can hold their breath the longest?) or tuck a waterproof toy in your beach tote.
• Too hot to sleep? Pop an ice cube in your mouth before, er, you-know-what. Your partner will love this refreshing and surprising treat.

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.

How to blindfold your lover during sex

Pick up a sexy, silky blindfold. (Many people swear by Blindfold for the Senses.) There's something delightfully decadent about being blindfolded. And with his or her eyes covered, your partner's remaining senses shift into high gear - every whisper, every touch is sensuously heightened. So cue up a sultry CD, light some incense, slip a blindfold on your sweetie and:

• Lightly caress your lover's skin with a feather, a rose petal or silky lingerie.
• Drizzle your partner with honey. Or paint erotic chocolate designs in unexpected places and then slowly lick them off - a tasty treat for two.
• Pour some warming, edible body butter in your hands, then rub, knead and stroke away every last drop of, er, tension. Get creative and go hands-free.
• Relive your favourite 9½ Weeks scene - you know the one. Feed your lover luscious morsels of fruit dipped in chocolate or honey.

How to Fix Your Broken Vibrators and Sex Toys

Imagine this....you have your mind set on sex and a little horny, no one is home but yourself. You slip into sexy lingerie, grab your toy box from under the bed or the closet and happily fondle your best friend (maybe it's your Rabbit Pearl (the one that was mentioned on Sex and the City), Fun Factory Gigolo or even your Laya Spot Vibrator) and finally you are prepared and climb in between the sheets. Your in the "mood" and mentally ready to reach the big "O" and unexpectantly your vibrator doesn't turn on...what the %&^%#, how disappointing!

I really think that there is no correlation to the amount of attention we give our sex toys and their life span. Also, I have found sometimes that my cheapest toy has outlasted my more expensive toys....not sure what I do differently or why this happens?

There are some ways to bring your inexpensive but much beloved sex vibe back to life. Here are some tips on fixing common problems with battery powered sex toys and vibrators:

1) I know everyone's first reasoning is "awe... the batteries have konked out on me" , but it is not always true... this would be my first reaction and hopefully I have extra ones in my drawer...as nothing kills the mood as to run to the local supermarket to get new ones!

2) Fix the spring - sometimes the spring become flattened and you need to fluff it back up so it reaches the connector of your batteries. So open up your vibrator and gently pull the spring up a little bit.

3) Make sure the connector and spring aren't blocked by anything (ie for some vibrators there will be a piece of paper rolled up in the shaft to muff the noice of your batteries when vibrating) You can take the piece of paper out or even replace it with a stiffer peice of newer paper).

If all else fails, it's definately time to give your old friend a funeral and go shopping for a new one....maybe something different (hmmn maybe my next one will be the Sinnflut Waterproof rechargeable!)

Cleaning your Sex toys, dildos and Vibrators

For most toys you can use Regular soap (anti bacterial hand soap works well) and warm water will clean your toy, as long as you do it every time you play with your toy. We also recommend Safe Suds Toy Cleaner.

Below we have some guidelines to follow, depending on the what kind material your sex toys are.

A good tip for all type of toys is to use condoms at all times for 100% cleanliness. Especially if you swap between the anal and vaginal area or if you share your toys.

Silicone
Silicone sex toys ( Fun Factory G-Spot Worm Vibrator or the Dual Rabbit Vibrator ) are the easiest to clean and the most sterile as they are not porous. You can run silicone dildos through the dishwasher or in boiling water. (Note: don't ever submerge toys in water that are electric or battery powered) You can even bleach your silicone toy in a 10 per cent solution. Make sure you have dried your toys before you put it away.

Jelly & Rubber
Porous toys like jelly ( Slim Jelly Fantasy Vibrator or Jelly Anal Beads ) and rubber (more poruos than jelly) ( like the Clone-a-Willy ) are much harder to sterilize so they should be used with a condom, which I'd prefer to do anyways! Also a good practice is to replace your more porous toys every 6-8 months.

Note: if you have Cyberskin toys, you'll have to clean them, pat them dry and powder them which I find way to messy) and I also heard that some baby powders or talcum powders as talc has been linked to cervical cancer...not good...so an alternate would be to use something more natural like corn starch.

Metal
As with silicone, metal toys (G-Spot Mini Waterproof Vibrator ) is a hardy beast and can be disinfected, boiled and made to face assorted forms of abuse in the name of cleanliness – but always make sure to dry it properly.

Plastic
Plastic Toys (like Velvet Touch Vibrators or the Pleasure Commander Bullet Vibrator ) only need a gentle rub with a cotton wool ball soaked in alcohol is the best cleaning solution for plastic, though rinse your toy afterwards so the alcohol doesn't come into contact with your precious parts.

Leather
Treat your leather toy with all the love and cleanly kindness you'd show a vintage leather jacket. Rub it down regularly but gently with a damp rag.

Fantasy Role Playing for Sexual Arousal

Many people ofter feel awkward, stuck or straight out silly when they try to do fantasy role playing during sex. Some of us will also be stunted for creativity, props and ambiance...where do we start?

Let's discuss the fine details to consider to really help you succeed in feeling confident for your role playing and sexual desires.

Take this example…
(this write up scenerio is from About.com http://sexuality.about.com/od/sexualroleplay/qt/settingthescene.htm)

You’ve decided to play a graduate student and your partner is going to be a professor. It’s the day of your big oral defense. This scenario is full of potential: power dynamics, opportunity for sexual bribery, a May-December sexual
tryst, plenty of “oral defense” puns.

But, if you don’t know what your research area is, or you don’t know whether you are a brilliant student being cut down by a sexy and overbearing professor, or a grad student who has slept their way to the top, and intends to do the very same tonight, you can’t get very far into the scenario.

Once you’ve come up with a character that strikes your fancy, start to think about the overall scenario, and answer some of these questions:

1. What is the physical setting? If you’re indoors, what kind of room (big, small, dark, brightly lit).
2. What time of day is it?
3. Are there other people nearby, are you in a public place, or completely secluded where no one will hear you scream (with pleasure)?
4. What’s the story? Why are you there, and (aside from the sex) what’s going to happen?

Filling in the details can not only give you more ideas for the sex part of the fantasy, but it can really help get you in character and make the role play come to life.

Check out your closet and drawers , look around your environment and find out what props would help with your fantasy and/or character.....Need help with props? Here's some scenerio suggestions:

School Girl - try the Private School Girl Costume, or School Girl

• For the teenage schoolgirl - How about a lipstick vibe for acting out a typical school girl. Tease your partner while applying it to your "sensitive" parts... and not your lips!
• For the naughty but nice schoolgirl - why not compliment the costume with a set of Furry Hand cuffs or the Spank Me Kit....pretend you are in detention...who wouldn't have fun with those!

French Maid - try the Friksy French Maid costume and match it up with a duster or a Sensual Body Feather. Instead of cleaning liquids or a bar of soap, grab a Massage Bar, Allow the buttery bar move along your curves.....create the perfect surface and let the delicious scent draw you closer.

Kitty Cat - wear a sexy Pussy Cat Costume and make him meow! Who needs to be tamed! Tie him up with Bondage Tape, and what self-respecting Sex Kitten would be caught without her purrrrrfect accessory....the Kitty Crop?

Nurse Betty - Try the Naughty Nurse - With this lycra dress, head piece and gloves...you don't need much. Play the role of nurse helping a patient...maybe be a thoughful nurse and apply body chocolate to your patient and lick it off. Or even wear a pair of edible undies and let him try some candy!

And finally what other props you need to make the ambiance: Perhaps, a candle for a soft alluring effect, a spray of Bare Essence Phermones to boost your sex signals , or even an inviting trail of roses to set the mood.

sexual fatique and tips to revive foreplay

If your sex life is stuck in a rut, start again from scratch. Break your sexual fatigue by throwing out all your preconceptions, banishing bad bedroom habits and learning how to make love again. Talk about it, play with it, experiment with sex to find out what you now like, as opposed to what made you tick when you first got together. And keep the passion alive by adding in new excitements and sexual surprises that may seem a bit wild but will get your juices flowing.

Here’s some tips to get that foreplay back:

• Look at foreplay in a different way than you had before, it really doesn’t have to be serious. Maybe break the ice by playing a fun adult game like Poker for Lovers or even tie up your lover with a set of furry handcuffs.
• Swap dirty dreams. Ask him to say out loud his sexual fantasy and then you say the next sentence. Move the story on one sentence at a time - and as you get to the physical bits, act out what you're describing. Need some ideas, try Fore Playing Cards.
• Now take it in turns to blindfold each other with a silk brocade blindfold for, perhaps, fifteen minutes. During that time, the one who isn't blindfolded surprises the other, perhaps by feeding them, touching them, licking them. Try using a sensual body feather or some Body Licks Skin Candy. No nasty shocks though - make it all gentle and loving.
• Cuddled up close, then masturbate in front of each other. This'll not only be a turn on - it'll also teach both of you about what you really like. If you feel shy, do it in the dark, with your hand over his as he plays, or his over yours as you do. This way reduces potential embarrassment, but you still learn about each other. If you are not shy, take it another step further get a Fuzuoku Finger Vibe!

Top 5 Five Ways to Extend the Life of Your Vibrator

While most battery powered vibrators come with a built in obsolescence, there are a few key things you can do to extend the life of your toy.

1) Don't Run It Too Long
With very few exceptions, most vibrators should only be run for 20-30 minutes at a time. The motors are small and need to cool down. They can overheat easily, and even if you do not it out the first time, the wear on the motor reduces the life span of the toy.

2) Remove the Batteries When Not In Use
This is important for two reasons. Firstly, it prevents you from leaving the vibrator on accidentally, which will burn out the motor. It also reduces the chance of the batteries corroding inside the vibrator, which will usually mean the end of the toy.

3) Use Condoms on a Plain Rubber Vibrator
If your vibrator is not made of silicone and is not hard plastic, it is likely made of an inexpensive, porous form of rubber mix. These toys are notoriously hard to keep clean, and they can get dirty and stay dirty from regular use. Using a condom on these toys will both reduce your chance of reacting to the material and make the material last longer as you won't have to be scrubbing it after each use.

4) Be Gentle
With attachment cords and battery caps it's important to be gentle with your toys. Don't pull on the cords, and never use a cord to retrieve a toy! Make sure not to screw the caps on too tight. If the cap is in two parts (often they are red and black) make sure to only use the dial to adjust the speed, not to open and close the toy.

5) Watch the Seal on Waterproof Toys
More and more vibrators are waterproof these days. This is made possible by a rubber O-ring that fits along the rim of the vibrator. Once the O-ring breaks your toy is no longer waterproof and you either need to keep it out of the water or replace the o-ring.

Brazilian waxes and the freedom to wear revealing lingerie

Many women opt and even request a Brazilian wax because it gives a neat, clean, close wax and the freedom to wear even the most revealing swimwear and lingerie. New lingerie is suddenly possible. And it makes many women feel downright vixeny all through the day. Something like Silk Thong - Get unwrapped with this beautiful silk thong with adjustable silk satin bow.

What is a Brazilian wax?Bikini wax refers to hair removal from the entire pubic region, front and back. It is getting more and more popular to attain clean and sexy skin. In this process the entire pubic area is waxed, leaving a small area above the vaginal area. Some women prefer to take it all off. It also involves waxing your buttock. More info about brazilian waxing go to: http://www.19.5degs.com/element/551.php

Other benefits; women also say their sex life has improved:
Women and men who've shared in the joys of a good wax say it heightens sensitivity and sensation for both partners. New lingerie is suddenly possible. And it makes many women feel downright vixeny all through the day.

Eva Longoria says having a Brazilian bikini wax has boosted her off-screen sex life.The Desperate Housewives actress says the bikini wax is worth the pain reports The Sun.Eva, who is currently dating basketball player Tony Parker, told America's Cosmopolitan magazine: "It makes sex better."Believe me, the first time I did it, the technician did half, and I was like 'Stop!' She said, 'Sit down, I have to finish.'"But then it gets easier. The more you do it, the less hair grows back. But yeah, I love it. I swear by it."Every woman should try a Brazilian wax once. And then the sex they have afterwards will make them keep coming back." Source(http://www.santabanta.com/newsmaker.asp?select=1662&catname=Newsmaker )

Where is the G Spot?

Sexinfo101 website states: If your partner is lying on her back, then her Grafenberg Area, commonly known as the G Spot, is located roughly 1.5" inside her vagina on the upper wall. The most ultimate orgasms come from a woman having her G Spot stimulated. This area inside the vagina typically has a different texture; ridged (not as smooth) as the rest of her vagina, and when aroused feels spongy. A G Spot orgasm is often associated with the mystical legend of female ejaculation and 15-30 minutes of a euphoric sensation where she is in complete bliss... Don't expect much from her during this time, she is in heaven.

Here's some of the favorite G-Spot Vibrators:

Natural Contours Ultime - A mid ranged priced vibrator. This unique sky blue massager is the first of its kind. The 'U' shape delivers strong vibrations on both ends, allowing it to simultaneously provide G-spot and clitoral stimulation. Three-speed design.

Fun Factory G-Spot Worm - These cute little playmates are perfectly curved to zone in on your G-Spot! Made of silicone, the highest quaity, softest material available. Hypoallergenic, non-porous and retains body heat. Extremely quiet motor, flexible and soft with variable speed dial.

G-spot Rabbit Vibrator - The rabbit dual vibrator/dildo has gotten even more creative by adding a g-spot curve.

Crystalessence Chubby G-Spot Vibrator - A less expensive G-Spot vibrator. Variable speed vibrator curved for G-spot stimulation. This waterproof vibe comes in pink.

Men, Do They Know it All?

It makes me wonder, do men just know it all when it comes to sex? The reason I ask such a question is because our retail store; Honey, has been here for three years and we notice certain patterns.
We stock a variety of books covering a range of topics and there are some books that offer a 'his' and 'her' version. They usually cover techniques to improve your love making and we always seem to sell out of the instructional ones for women about men. We now tend to order a ratio of 4:1 for women!
Lucky for many men, there are alot of women educating themselves to becoming a better lover!

Just makes you wonder.....do they know it all?:)
