In the midst of the end-of-semester haze that fell upon my campus, it was a lovely surprise to receive not one, but two toys to review this week. The first is the Rabbit Pearl, sent to me by the lovely folks over at Good Vibrations. Yes, this is the same “Rabbit” that was made oh-so-famous by Sex and the City a few years back. The second is the Pink Tongue, sent to me by MyPleasure.com. Since both are what you might call “rabbit” toys, I’ve decided to compare and contrast the two toys in one post! Continue Reading →

Interview With Metis Black, Tantus Founder
I know my body very well. I’ve been able to diagnose almost all of my illnesses, known what levels of hormones I needed in my birth control before I ever took it, what things are incompatible with my body, and what things make it feel amazing. But there is one sex toy company that seems to know my body better than I know it. Every time I try a new Tantus toy I tend to think it looks interesting, but assume it won’t do much for me. And every time I manage to be dead wrong. Continue Reading →
Sex Toy Review: MyPleasure Waterproof Pocket Rocket
Here we are in the middle of March and I still find myself wondering about how people spend romantic occasions, such as Valentine’s Day. Do you spend them with your partner or prefer flying solo? Do you go out to a fancy dinner or keep it low key and cook at home? Do you surprise a loved one with jewelry or maybe you’re more traditional and stick to the flower/chocolate combo? Well this year – whatever the occasion – I challenge you to spice things up – why not try a sex toy? Continue Reading →
Vampire Sex Toys
I know it’s still a while before the next Twilight movie comes out (November 18th, 2011, <as if you didn’t know>), but it seems like vampires have become a ingrained part of our cultural zeitgeist. The logical next step, of course, is to bring them into our bedrooms.
One needs to be careful here, or injuries could happen (see this post from Michaela for a cautionary tale). However, one of the safer ways to bring the bite into the bedroom is through toys. Here are two sex toys that, depending on your proclivities, you want to either purchase before the next full moon or avoid like a rabid werewolf. Continue Reading →
A Peek Inside the ANME Tradeshow: New Sex Toy Heaven
Recently, the company I work for, MyPleasure, added Buyer to my list of duties. This means that I get to do a lot of product research and decide what we should and shouldn’t pick up for the site. It’s a job I’ve wanted for a long time now and it definitely comes with perks. For example, a couple weeks ago I got to go to my first adult toy trade show, ANME. For someone who is extremely nerdy about sex toys this was total heaven for me. Continue Reading →
Customized Luxury Sex Toys
A new business, Made to Pleasure, offers a variety of sex toys, some ready for purchase and some–more intriguingly–customizable. An interview with the one of the creators of the business describes how the design-your-own-sex-toy boutique works, and how and why the creators constructed their website to meet the varied needs of their customers. I’d love to see how a customized toy turns out! Follow us on Twitter @mysexprofessor. Follow Jeana, the author of this post, @foxyfolklorist. Continue Reading →

So, you and your partner have just gotten back from a weekend excursion to your awesome local, women run sex shop and are all excited to test out the new vegan, organic, comes-in-a-bottle-made-of-recycled-hemp-or-something lube you just bought.

OhMiBod Better Than Chocolate Review
Thanks to the lovely folks over at Babeland, I recently received my very own OhMiBod Better Than Chocolate vibrator. OhMiBod and Nomi Tang teamed up to make this vibe one of the best and most creative out there. As those of you that have read my other reviews know, my mind works in lists. So, here are my pro and con lists. Continue Reading →
How To Put On A Mediocre Sexuality Event: Sexpo Melbourne 2010
As I walked into the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, my hopes for the 2010 annual Sexpo were high. I saw lots of vanilla-looking over-50s and leather-clad 30-40-somethings, along with the scantily clad 20-somethings I was expecting. This apparent diversity was exciting! Perhaps Sexpo would be even more than I had hoped? Continue Reading →
Ophoria Beyond One G-Spot Vibrator
Once again, thanks to MSP blogger Garnet Joyce, and the fabulous people over at MyPleasure.com, I recently received my very own Beyond One G-Spot Vibrator by Ophoria. Overall, this toy wasn’t my personal favorite, but I figured I’d give all of you a list of pros and cons anyway so you can decide whether or not you want to try it for yourself. Why I liked it: Continue Reading →
