What’s the Difference? Dildos and Vibrators

Dildos are often confused as vibrators when in truth they are an entirely different entity. To help you understand the differences and similarities, as well as guide you in the right direction we have put together some key points about dildos and vibrators.



Dildos

What is a dildo?

A dildo is a flexible toy with a soft and bendable shaft. More often than not, they have a flanged or wide base. A dildo does not have a motorized centre so it will not vibrate on its own. The shapes and colors vary from toy to toy but you can have a very realistic phallic shape to ones that are ribbed, swirled, curved, or even shaped like animals.

Why use a dildo?

A dildo can be used with a harness for anal or vaginal penetration, the wide base allows the dildo to be inserted into a harness and kept there with a metal or plastic ring. They do not contain a motor so they are very soft and flexible throughout the entire length to enhance internal stimulation. Often dildos are curved so you can stimulate the g-spot or prostate.

Vibrators

What is a vibrator?

Vibrators are similar to dildos but all vibrators have an internal motor that allow for different movements like vibration, thrusting, spinning pearls, and rotation. The internal motor contained in the vibrator makes part of the length firm and less flexible as compared to a dildo. The base is not flanged but rather usually contains the battery compartment and speed/function controls. Vibrators can be as small as a one inch bullet, phallic shaped, smooth, textured, branched, or curved. Vibrators like dildos can be made of a hard plastic or soft.

Why use a vibrator?

Vibrators can be used both internally and externally for vaginal, clitoral, and anal simulation. Why choose a vibrator over a dildo? The vibration of the toy can add more sensation and pleasure to the nerve endings for both partners.

In most instances a vibrator can be used as a dildo by just leaving the motor off. Though the toy can be harder than a soft dildo you can get the same internal stimulation. In certain situations such as using a harness you cannot use a vibrator, the dildo has a flexible body that allows you to easily slip it into a harness and the flanged base keeps it steady. Most vibrators do not have the wide base needed for a harness.

Why choose vibration?

For women in general the most pleasure is derived from the massive nerve ending located in the clitoris and inner inch or so of the vagina. Vibration allows you to stimulate these nerve endings easily solo or with a partner. Most women will orgasm more easily from clitoral stimulation than penetration on its own, so adding a vibrator to your playtime can be very beneficial.

Why choose no vibration?

Everyone is different and not all women like vibration, some far prefer the penetration sensation and do not want to be distracted by a vibrator. The dildo allows for penetration without vibration and is softer and more flexible than a vibrator. For medical reasons many women need help as they get older or to maintain elasticity of the skin if they have suffered vaginal scarring, a dildo can help ease them into the sensation of penetration without the firmness of a vibrator.

As you can see Vibrators and Dildos are similar but different and it is a personal choice to choose the ones you like and to try each for different reasons. Having a variety of options in your toy box will help you discover your sexual pleasures and preferences, and to ultimately enjoy your body to the fullest.

How to Give a World-Class Blowjob

1. Choose your position carefully. The classic porn move that he'll be sure to love is him standing, leaning against a wall and you on your knees before him, it not only looks good but it also looks as if you are worshiping his body. Make sure you are comfortable, with pillows under your knees or if he is sitting or lying on the bed be sure you have enough support so that you are not putting all your weight on your elbows or arms. Being comfortable is important so that you can enjoy yourself without having to stop and think about any pain or discomfort.

2. Toys. Make sure to have any toys or plaything you wish to use on hand and within easy reach. The Blow Him Away Honeycomb Kit has a lot of fun items to help stimulate his sensitive spots, the finger toy can easily be slipped onto your finger or put on the popular Tongue Teaser so that you don't have to look for them later. Cock rings are also a fun addition to your play, it helps him last longer and makes the orgasm more intense, this is especially helpful if he gets a little too excited by your sexy mouth. The Spank Cock Ring and Erection Lasso are sexy options.

3. Techniques. Every guy likes to be touched differently. The best way to find out what he likes best is to ask. Or if you wish to be sneakier put your fingers in his mouth while you are playing with him, he'll most likely suck your finger the way he wants to be sucked, sneaky and you'll learn a thing or two about what he likes. Licking is often a great way to get started, using the flat side of your tongue you can go from tip to end like licking an ice cream cone. Spend some time enjoying this, pay attention to his tip as it is the most sensitive area but also to the entire length of the penis and the testicles. Make sure to be gentle when applying the teeth and watch to be sure you don't hurt him.

4. Tricks. Some interesting ways to spice things up and keep him guessing is to take a drink before hand of something slightly warm or cool, hold it in your mouth for a moment, swallow then slide your mouth over him. The coolness or added warmth to your mouth is an added bonus of sensation. Nipple Nibbler applied to your lips will have him tingling and tasting yummy. Other products designed for stimulating this erogenous area are Kama Sutra Pleasure Balm and Rocket Balm. The heating and tingling sensation will drive him wild! Also while you are using your mouth you can also involve your hands to the fun, using the finger vibes you can vibrate his perineum or anus for added pleasure, and wrapping your hand firmly around the base of the shaft and giving a hand-job while using your mouth is especially sexy.

**Make eye contact, it's sexy and will turn him on!**

5. Lubrication. Making the penis slick and slippery will also be very pleasurable. There are some fun choices available like flavored lubricants, warming lubricants, or others with a tingling or cooling sensations.

6. To swallow or not to swallow. It's your choice whether you want to swallow or not, but try to make the choice before hand so you know what you want to do as you near the end of your play. This avoids any awkwardness at the end. If you decide to swallow try to push him farther into your mouth so that you can bypass the tip of the tongue where most of the taste buds are or put him near you cheek and swallow in one gulp. Also you can hold onto his penis and rock him gently towards you to push him deeper into your mouth, sexy and effective. You can also pretend to swallow, by pushing your tongue against him while he's coming which allows you to push to the semen back out of your mouth and have it slide down his penis making him warm and slippery. This feels good for him and is a nice compromise. Or you can always allow him to ejaculate someplace else, pearl necklace perhaps?

7. Lastly; but VERY importantly, one of the key secrets to giving him a blowjob that will take his breath away and leave him your willing slave is simply enthusiasm. Honest enthusiasm to please and play with him is an aphrodisiac often ignored. Even the most skilled techniques are nothing if you are not really into what you are doing. So get ready to learn some easy ways to blow his mind and turn up the heat.

To learn more about giving a great blowjob, check out some very informative and fun books like Tickle His Pickle, Blow Him Away, or How to Be a Great Lover.

New Years Resolution: Put yourself First…Female Masturbation

Masturbation is healthy. It has many emotional and physical benefits and best of all it feels good. So this year we should promote self awareness and discovery, both emotionally and physically. Start by taking your pleasure to new heights all by yourself, and you will find that by learning your body you will help both your relationship with yourself, but also with your partner.

Preparing yourself for Pleasure

There are many ways in which you can prepare yourself to give yourself pleasure, just as you would if you were preparing for a partner.

Make yourself feel sexy. Just as if you were getting ready for a hot date with your partner, preparing yourself for a fun evening home alone is also beneficial. Shaving and trimming your hair, from your legs to you pubic area will help make you feel beautiful, you feel sexy. Having a long and sensual bath to help yourself relax and enjoy your body is also and fun way to prepare for the bedroom.

Set up your room. Prepare the room in which you plan to enjoy yourself. Light your favorite scented candles and turn on some music, turn down the lights and put any toys, lubricant or erotic literature you plan to use within easy reach.

The best advice would be to be relaxed as you masturbate. Involve all parts of your body like the breasts and nipples. Become aware of how it feels to you so you can bring that feeling back or share it with your lover later. Don’t try to have an orgasm, just release yourself and enjoy your body. Give yourself permission to experience intense sexual pleasure.

Accessories: Toys, Books, DVDs

There is no right or wrong way to masturbate; as long as it feels good then it is good. Women can use anything from your fingertips to toys and anything from books to videos to enhance their pleasure.

Clitoral Vibrators: Vibrating toys are a fun and satisfying way to enhance your sensual pleasure. They help by providing the intense vibration externally to your clitoris and vulva area. This can help bring orgasm much quicker and with more intensity. Some popular clitoral vibrators are the Lelo Nea and the Fun Factory Layaspot. They have a great curve that fits nicely over the women’s pelvis and a variable speed button so you can choose the right intensity for you. Tease yourself at the low speed or fast and intense.

Internal Vibrator or Dildos: Dildos and vibrators that can be used internally as well as externally are especially fun and fulfilling. You can get the fullness and penetration from these toys or use them externally for clitoral stimulation. Dildos such as the Fun Factory Curve do not provide any vibration so it is often nice to add a clitoral vibrator like the simple Silver Bullet for external pleasure. Or use a dual action sex toy like the Rabbit Habit that provides both internal penetration as well as clitoral stimulation at the same time. Have you tried stimulating your G-spot? Customer favorites have been the Lelo Gigi or the G-spot E-glass. You don’t need to penetrate your vagina with toys but it may help, it is a personal preference.

Books and DVDs: Erotic literature and movies are sexy and exciting ways to rev your mind and body into thinking and feeling sensual and excited. Books such as The Mammoth Book of Erotica or Aqua Erotica are easy to read and provide an exciting array of fantasies to prime your mind into thinking sensually. Arousing the largest sexual organ-the brain; will arouse your body. Studies have shown women are just as aroused as men when it comes to watching erotic movies. You just need to do a bit of research as to which movies would be more appealing to you. There are plenty of X-rated films now directed by women for women.

Masturbation is meant to be a fun and enjoyable way of self discovery, free from guilt and worry. It is a healthy and beautiful way to enjoy yourself, and learn about your sensual body and all the orgasmic pleasures it can receive. This new communication with yourself is often helpful both in your sexual relationships but also in loving yourself more completely. So in 2009, love yourself and have fun doing it!

Finding the G Spot

Pleasuring Women with G-spot Toys
At Honey Gifts, we aim to educate and please – this month that means taking the mystery out of the G-spot. Just because you or your partner haven’t found it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Figuring out how to hit it with toys is an experiment in fun.

First you gotta find it: The G-spot isn’t as elusive as you may think. It’s about two inches inside the vagina, towards your belly and behind the public bone. Insert a couple well-lubed fingers and stroke them towards your palm in a come hither motion. You may feel like you have to pee when the G-spot is stimulated – you won’t urinate, but you may ejaculate. But first…

Turn it on: Don’t immediately dive in once you’ve located it. Make sure you’re ready beforehand with a little foreplay. Getting aroused will make the G-spot swell with fluid, making it more firm, easier to find and ultimately have an internal G-spot orgasm. Use a vibe held to your clit, your fave sexy movie, your imagination, your partner’s tongue, etc. to get in the mood.

Grab a toy: Frankly, continuing the whole come hither thing can bring on a case of carpal tunnel syndrome just thinking about it. Or you may be cursed with short fingers, leaving your G-spot frustratingly out of reach. A curved toy can be just the trick to reaching it. Personalize your choice. Not everyone is going to be turned on by the same technique. Some options to consider:

• Try a vibrator with a simultaneous clitoral stimulator or use one hand to work your clit while stimulating the G-spot with a vibrator or dildo. Again, external stimulation will make the G-spot swell, making it easier to find and have a G-spot orgasm. The G-Spot Rabbit or Masagi Glass Toy with Bullet attachment are fun possibilities.
  


• The rhythmic pressure of a multi-speed vibe pressed to the G-spot can also do the trick. Today, many vibrators have pulsing and escalating modes, so you can find the best rhythm for you. The Royal Princess is one such toy.



• A twisting or ridged vibrator is the A-one choice for those who enjoy motion. Another option is to experiment with various girths to find the one that suits your taste, from the thin Starlight G-spot to the thick Chubby G.
  


• A glass or stainless steel toy will provide a frictionless and firm touch. An added bonus of glass dildos is they are particularly sensitive to absorbing and maintaining different temperatures for sensations of chill and heat. Try the Glass G with Micro Mini Vibrator for simultaneous internal and external fun. Playing hot and cold takes on a whole new meaning!

Romantic, Sexy Valentine Gift Ideas & Tips

Planning a romantic day or event for your special "someone" to celebrate Valentine's Day? Some people love to eat out in restaurants, and others don’t on such a special day like Valentine's Day, which has become one of the busiest days in the restaurant year! Usually there's inflated menu prices and you are pushed out the door to turn the table over to the next couple. Why not save money and have a romantic atmosphere at home for as long as youd’ like, play and have a fun romantic valentines! Make it a cozy night for two with romance, you and your love... what more could you ask for? Staying home to celebrate Valentine's Day can be a very rewarding experience because you have a tendency to feel more at ease in your own home.

Enjoy some quiet conversation, lots of mood music to keep the evening romantic, maybe a little dancing in the kitchen? If you love to cook and have the time knock yourself out! But don’t spend so much time cooking and cleaning that you lose sight of the goal which is to have a romantic evening with your lover.


Part of making any event memorable is the special care and touch that is put into it. The littlest things are the ones that end up meaning the most. Here’s some ideas and tips to make a perfect romantic Valentine evening:

• Select Mood Enhancers for Valentines – what type of mood you want to set. Ask yourself what it is that you are trying to accomplish and what mood you want to convey: playful, romantic, sexy... all the above... :) Before you go about getting everything ready, make sure you know where you want to end up!
  


• Surprise your sweetie by wearing a Valentines gift. Wear a sexy outfit (how about a Romantic Lace Bodystocking or Croquette French Lace & Lycra Set) ... or, if you're brave, nothing at all!
  


• Stage a progressive romantic love dinner for valentines and serve each course in a different room with the dessert ending up in the bedroom! Lead your lover down a path of silk rose petals to the room of choice.
  


• Keep the meal flavorful and not too heavy for a romantic valentines. Overeating will most likely leave you feeling sleepy rather than erotic. Maybe Salmon vs. Steak, rice vs. potatoes. Appetizers vs. entrees. Unless you have large appetites you may prefer to split one entrée between the two of you. And leave the dessert for later - in the bedroom!
  


• If you choose to drink, keep the amount of alcohol to a minimum (a glass or 2 of wine or champagne). Excessive alcohol will make you too drowsy for the after-dinner romance. Excellent alternatives are sparking juices in a cocktail glass over ice.
  


• Lets talk about a sexy dessert menu after Valentines dinner….slide into a sexy lingerie and serve some chocolate on a platter ( ou can make dessert fun and sexy by serving chocolate Tattoo Set or Chocoholics Chocolate Body Frosting). Lure your lover into the bedroom with lit sexy Body Candles which also has a dual function as massage oil. The mystical potion transforms from a hot dripping wax into a glistening oil and penetrating body lotion.
  


• Rent your favorite romantic movies, make some popcorn and hot chocolate, and stay up all night watching movies and cuddling (maybe use some Bare Essence Pheromones (nature's "sex signals") and you’ll lover won’t stay off you!)
  


• Surprise your lover with a bubble bath for two as a present for valentines day. Take turns reading a sexy or romantic book aloud to each other (may we suggest Aqua Erotica - Waterproof erotic story book). Introduce a sexy waterproof vibrator (Laya Spot by Fun Factory) or a fun waterproof vibrator (maybe something like the I Rub My Duckie Waterproof Vibrator) and splish splash away!
  


• Invite your partner to play a game of poker. Take notepaper and rip ten or more pieces of paper. Tell your partner to write down things they want to do or not have to do and make them neutral so that the opposing partner can use them as well. Play poker and gamble using the strips of paper for ante. Do not look at which ones you use just ante up. Or better yet, try the famous game “ Poker for Lovers Game” This erotic game has you betting sexy activities. Play by the same rules as regular poker except you'll be betting make-out sessions and playful spankings.
  


• Do your lover's secret fantasy. It’s the perfect time to bring out something that you typically do throughout the year. Have some fun role-playing with sexy lingerie costumes. Maybe a Naughty nurse, Frisky French Maid, Private School Girl, or a Police Women? Surprise your lover with a new couples sex toys and enjoy!
  


• Satisfy your lover’s carnal cravings with Body Licks Body Candy in a variety of sexy flavours like Strawberry Cheesecake, White Chocolate and Key Lime. Or treat your sweetheart to a sensuous massage – and enjoy a sweet treat – with naturally flavoured, non-sticky Naked Edible Massage Oil.
  


• Pass on the expected roses and boxed chocolate, Surprise your sweetheart with a seductive Valentine’s lap dance or strip tease. The Strip to It Bump ‘n’ Grind DVD and CD provides all the instruction you’ll need to give him a V-Day delight he won’t soon forget. Oh ya, and don’t forget the sexy feather boa!

How to use sextoys & vibrators, tips for adult women

The following are the top 10 tips for how to use women’s sex toys & vibrators

1. Use condoms with your adult sex toys- Sex toy dildo, vibrator, or whatever -- put a condom on it! Also, don't switch the toy from butt hole to vagina, or from one person's body to another, until you put a new condom on it. Safe and clean sex will keep your happy and healthy! Use Condoms on a Plain Rubber Vibrator - These toys are notoriously hard to keep clean, and they can get dirty and stay dirty from regular use.
   
   
2. If using lubes with your sex toys – avoid yeast infections. Although it is not proven but some women get yeast infections when using water-based lubricants that have glycerin. Try glycerin free water based lubricants, and all silicone based lubricants are also glycerin free. Glycerine-free lubricants are toy and condom compatible: Check out Slippery Stuff or Hathor Aphrodisia (made with horny goat weed for extra enjoyment). Read more on what lubricant to use...
   
   
3. If you get tired and not as excited with your sex toy/vibrator – You can get bored of your usual sex toy and not be as stimulated. Put it away for a while or bring out a new one and rotate them…bring the spice back…mix it up and you won’t get bored!
   
   
4. Sex toy seems to small and doesn’t excite you anymore? Could be because your PC muscles are realxed and not in shape. Well-toned pubococcygeus (PC) muscles (the muscles beneath the pelvic floor that encircle the vagina) are more responsive, resulting in increased sexual sensation and more intense G-spot orgasms. Give yours a workout with Kegel exercises or try Fun Factory’s Smart Balls.
   
   
5. Find your G-Spot –get more out of your sex toys - 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. 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 . Read more on surefire ways to hit your G-spot...
   
   
6. Extend your sex toys life- Don't Run It Too Long - with very few exceptions, most vibrators should only be run for 20-30 minutes at a time. Remove the Batteries When Not In Use- 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. Read more on the top 5 ways to extend the life of your vibrator ...
   
   
7. 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. Read more on how to clean your sex toys, dildos and vibrators...
   
   
8. Hide your sex toys from snoopy cleaning ladies and children – Try a shoe box and leave it under your bed or in the bottom of your closet. Or custom casing - some people have invested in a solution that is similar to a mini treasure chest with a padlock. This solution can be expensive, but if you have very nosy kids and a cleaning lady, this is the perfect solution. Read more on where to hide your sex toys...
   
   
9. Travelling with sex toys? - 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! Flying? Why give inquisitive customs agents something to snicker about? Pack toys in your checked luggage rather than in your carry-on bag. Read more on sex tips for travelling and having a steamy holiday...
   
   
10. Fix your broken vibrators and sex toys – Don’t assume that it has died on you forever…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. Read more on how to fix your broken vibrators & sex toys...

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.

Ten Types of Orgasms Women Can Have:

Did you know that there are ten types of orgasms women can have?

Here's a breif summary of each one, also are suggestions that can help you with each one. If you'd like to read more on Orgasms , how to have them, give them and keep them coming? I strongly recommend Lou Paget’s Book “The Big O” - it is a great book that debunks myths, explains the physical & mental side of orgasms, the male and female orgasm, how-to suggestions, sex and spirit.

1. Clitoral orgasm – Most common, and for most the strongest orgasm. A clitoral orgasm occurs when the clitoris is stimulated to orgasm; most women need some form of clitoral stimulation to orgasm. The nerve system involved is the pudendal nerve system, which comprised of highly sensitive nerve fibres. The clitoris glans is the only visible part of a woman’s clitoris. The most popular toys for clitoral orgasms are vibrators. Textured products like shaft sleeve also work well to stimulate her clitoris. (Want some help? try the Pocket Rocket)
2. Vaginal and cervical – The essential truth about vaginal/cervical orgasms is that they are not as precise as the other locations. The vaginal orgasms involves the barrel of the vagina as well as the cervix (the mouth of the uterus) and may involve even the uterus itself. There is a bearing-down effect and the vaginal opening becomes more relaxed. At the point of orgasm, it sometimes happens that the penis (or any other object used for stimulation) is pushed out by the strength fo these contractions.

3. G-spot and AFE (anterior fornix erotic) zone – The G-spot is an area approxiamately the size of a dime, located about two-thirds the length of your middle finger inside the vaginal entrance, above the pubic bone felt through the front wall (tummy side). When stimulated, the G-spot can enlarge to the size of a quarter. (Want some help? try the Chubby G Vibrator )
4. Urethral (U-spot) – Like the clitoris, stimulating the urethra is also very pleasurable for some women, which makes sense since the urethra is surrounded on three sides by the clitoris and is located between the clitoral glans and the vaginal entry. (Want some help? Try the Lipstick Vibrator )
5. Breast/nipple – breast and nipple orgasms are apparently much more common that you might think. (Want some help? Try the Ice Queen Nipple Gel )
6. Mouth – Some women experience a mouth orgasm through kissing or while giving oral sex to a man. Other women describe the sensation as a whole body orgasm accompanied by uterine and vaginal contractions. (Want some help? Try the Nipple Nibbler - flavored lip action)
7. Anal – Anal play is the new frontier , male and females are asking more questions about anal sex, as more people are experimenting and finding it adds spice and often a lot of sexual pleasure. Because the PC muscles encircle the anus, when it contracts during an orgasm, you can also feel it through vaginal and urethal orgasmic contractions in women and urethral and anal in men. (Want some help? Try the Butt Plug)
8. Blended/Fusion – Is when more than one area is stimulated at the same time. For example the clitoris and the G-spot have two separate nerve systems and gives you more broader sensation.
9. Zone – This is much more individualistic because it occurs in various parts of people’s bodies that are rarely associated with stimulation to orgasm. For Example some have experienced orgasms from having their necks licked or their fingers sucked. (Want some help? Try the Flavored Edible Massage Oil )
10. Fantasy – A fantasy orgasm is the ability to orgasm by fantasy alone – with no genital stimulation. Only a chosen few who can have this orgasm. A lab report documented that the body’s physiological response to an imagery-induced orgasm was no different than one induced by physical stimulation (same heart rate, increase in blood pressure, pupil diameter, and pain threshold). (Want some help? Try fantasy role playing lingerie )

Want to learn more about Orgasms, how to have them, give them and keep them coming? I strongly recommend Lou Paget’s Book “The Big O” - it is a great book that debunks myths, explains the physical & mental side of orgasms, the male and female orgasm, how-to suggestions, sex and spirit.

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.

How to give great head for your lover

You're now into the faster, rhythmical phase he's been aching for. So get comfortable-it's going to get wild! Try the tips techniques from Sadie Allisons book "Tickle his Pickle" as your starting point and improvise from there.

Here are some of the many suggestions from her book - Be sure to include these Bj-boosters in your bedroom next time you are in the mood!:

• You only need to put his penis into your mouth as far as you feel comfortable. You can start shallow, and increase the depth slowly.
• No need to limit yourself to one technique - try three or more in the same session, along with different speeds, pressures, grips and motions. Slow down, speed up. Keep him guessing what's next.
• Pay attention to what's going on inside your mouth. Make sure it's always nice n' slipery, keep your teeth out of the way, run his head along the roof of your mouth for a bumpy ridge effect, lick the tip of his head whiles it's inside and swirl on it with your tongue.
• Look at him seductively through your hanging hair. Later, tie it back so he can see you. Or ask him to hold it for you. Look up into his eyes while you're pleasing him, grin seductively and whisper, "Do you like that baby?"
• If you get dry, sip more water or just drizzle on more flavoured lube. Don't be shy-make a sexy production out of it.
• Be noisy. He loves the sounds of sucking, oohing and aah-ing, as well as the vibrations of you humming.
• Now break out the vibrators! Give him the wonderful sensation of vibrations along with the soft warm feel of your mouth.

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.

Where to hide your sex toys

Where to hide your sex toys?

It is a common question that many people have asked themselves when they have brought their new toys home...

Here's a few suggestions:

1. Try it in your nightstand - by far this is the number one choice and the easiest to reach when you are in the mood. If you have any nosy children or a mother-in-law that helps you clean up the house, this may not be the idea spot for you...so read on.
2. Try a shoe box and leave it under your bed or in the bottom of your closet
3. Gift Boxes - I have had some customers purchase a Honey Gift Box set and kept their gift box for their sex toy storage! what a nifty idea!
4. Between the matress is also an option - if you have expensive toys that you are worried will break - make sure you put the toys by the head area so it will be safe with less weight on it....I have had no issues and personally like this hiding spot.
5. Custom Casing - some people have invested in a solution that is similar to a mini treasure chest with a padlock. This solution can be expensive, but if you have very nosy kids and a cleaning lady, this is the perfect solution.
6. Larger Tuberware Containers - this is my second best spot....(my favorite one is under the mattress ) and my back-ups toys(my whole stash) are in my larger tuberware container (It's Opaque- not see through), I have my container under my bed or hidden in my closet.

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.

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!

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.

Mom Finds Daughter's Sex Toy Under Bed

Working at Honey, I get to meet the most interesting people and have had some very enlightening conversations over the years. One conversation was with a mom of an 18 year old daughter. She had come upon a case under her daughters bed and opened it up to find a vibrator. The mom owns vibrators herself but she wasn't sure how she felt about her daughter owning a vibrator at her young age.
I could understand from a mom's point of view why it would be uncomfortable, as every parent sees their child as innocent and forever a baby but statistics show that the majority of girls have sex for the first time in their teens.
Having sex with someone involves so much fear and intimacy at an age we really know so little. I am not recommending that every young girl own a vibrator but I do believe that a girl should get to know her own body before having sexual intercourse with another person.

When Vibrators Were Available at Sears

A great article was brought to my attention written in the Canadian University Press by Denise Brunsdon. The article talks about the great invention of the vibrator. What struck me was the availability of such products at an institution such as Sears and Roebuck in 1910. How did we lose such mainstream acceptance of the vibrator? The article goes on to explain: "As the porn idustry began to explore and depict the bounderies of vibrator use, the object quickly developed a negative social stigma and that persists, in some circles, to this day. Apparently, only sex-crazed nymphos, not wholesome soccer moms, would dare to become sexually empowered."
It is ironic how we can regress in women's sexual health especially when so much around us is sexualized. If only we could be as progressive as Sears in 1910!
