Wow, was I nervous when I got the Aneros in the mail. First of all, it is one of the first sex toys I had ever had the pleasure of owning. Second, not only was I going to use a prostate toy for the first time, I was also going to write about the experience and post it on the Internet. Yikes! However, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use and how comfortable I felt afterwards with the whole encounter. I would recommend the Aneros to new and seasoned P-spot finders alike. In terms of recent blockbusters, the experience with it was more “Inception” than “The Expendables” – it wasn’t as intense as expected, but left me thinking about it for many days after.

This Week on MSP: Dungeons, Sex Toy Retirement & Love Songs
If our dog (below) had her druthers, she would get to keep her mangy dog toys forever. Fortunately, we – like many dog people – know when our dog’s toys have met their demise (typically when the stuffing is pulled out and she’s found that squeaky part). But how well do people know when to throw out their own toys? Specifically, their sex toys? Recently, a friend was telling me about someone who was saying how he felt bad that he and his girlfriend were still using a pretty run-down vibrator when clearly (from his perspective) they needed a new one to use together.

The G-Spot, The P-Spot: Sex Toys for Multiple Purposes and Genders
I’m all about being inclusive with sexuality, both inside and outside of the bedroom. And nothing is more sexually inclusive, or economically practical, than being able to use your sex toys for different purposes on different bodies. So I’ve compiled a list of toys that can be used both vaginally as well as anally for sexual stimulation: with some boiling in between, of course! Since the g-spot and the prostate are located approximately one to three and two to three inches in towards the belly button inside the vaginal and anal canals respectively, they each respond well to toys with a slight curvature in them in order to apply pressure to the area. An additional bonus with prostate toys is that regular stimulation of the prostate, leading to the excretion of seminal fluid and often, intense orgasms, can promote prostate health.

Locked! Male Chastity Devices
Medieval Male Chastity
Chastity belts, both male and female, have a wild mythological history allegedly dating back to the times of the Crusades. Although the concept of a chastity belt does appear in Renaissance poetry and literature, all models previously thought to have come from Medieval times have been confirmed as clever fakes designed by the Victorians. It was not until the 19th century that chastity belts made their first truly functional appearance. Continue Reading →
The Dildo Diaries Rocks My World
Tonight, at dinner with old and new friends, I realized that I was the only person (out of 7!) who had seen The Dildo Diaries. This astonished me. Has this gem not made it out to the rest of the world?!?! WTF?!?! It’s incredible what you can learn about dildos vs. Continue Reading →
Sex Doll Race in Russia
I love this image of men and women in Russia racing in the water on top of inflatable sex dolls as part of the Bubble Baba Challenge. If only one of them had been racing the new inflatable Obama sex doll, unveiled in Asia. [someecards blog & the HuffPo] Continue Reading →
Do You Clean Your Sex Toys?
That’s right: you heard me. Do you clean your sex toys? When? Before use? After use? Continue Reading →
Could This Be A Stone Age Dildo?
The Swedes have done it again. This time, Swedish archaeologists are wondering if they’ve unearthed a dildo from the Stone Age. This carved piece made from antler bone (hey, they didn’t have medical grade silicone or Pyrex back then) certainly looks like an erect penis – or an “erected-penis-like-shape” as archaeologist Gsran Gruber of the National Heritage Board in Sweden said. But there’s always the possibility it was used for other purposes such as fertility worship, stirring cake batter or practicing Stone Age oral sex techniques, right? In any case, it reminds me of what I envision Hank Moody’s penis to look like, thanks to several allusions to its size and shape in various episodes. Continue Reading →
Want to Trade in Your Vibrator? Here’s How.
I always find new reasons to love Early to Bed, the everyone-friendly sex boutique on Chicago’s north side. They are now introducing Vibrator Trade-in Days, when you can bring in your own vibrators(s) and get a coupon toward $10 off your next $20+ purchase at Early to Bed. Trade-ins must be vibes, not dildos or other non-vibrating sex toys. And yes, your old batteries can still be there, too. Here are the details: Continue Reading →
Fleshlight Goes on the Offense
Interactive Life Forms, LLC – otherwise known at the manufacturers of Fleshlight, one of the best selling male masturbation sleeves – is claiming that other companies are infringing on their patent. Specifically, some reports claim they’re eyeing Tenga, who has been coming out with increasingly interesting and popular male masturbation sleeves and has recently started selling them to men in the US, which Fleshlight wants to stop. Being familiar with both product lines, I have to say that the Tenga seems to be a significant improvement on the Fleshlight, which is pretty basic (but basic can be good). Men I know who have tried both seem to prefer the Tenga. However, that doesn’t mean that Tenga is in the clear just because they’ve gone the extra mile with masturbation sleeve casings that open more easily for cleaning, interior nubbies that provide extra sensation, double hole cups, and lube that comes with the toy and is packaged in sexy test-tube like containers.
