I’ve reviewed a lot of sex toys. After a certain point, it seems like you’ve seen everything: there’s only so much you can do to make a dildo more than a dildo. So I’m always pleasantly surprised when I get to review a truly innovative sex toy. With that, I present the Fun Toys G-Vibe from My Secret Luxury. Though it looks like an oddly-hued duck bill, the unique double-flare shape of this toy makes for some serious creativity. Continue Reading →

Denmark’s Sperm Bike
Talk about genitals in the wild! I recently stumbled upon an article that added another bullet point to my long list of reasons to live in a Scandinavian country. The Nordisk Cryobank, a European sperm bank, decided to get creative in transporting donor samples. Naturally, they chose a bike- but this isn’t just any bike.
The “sperm bike” is not only a green form of transportation, but it serves as a wonderful form of advertisement for the Cryobank. Continue Reading →
Communication Fails: www.HeTexted.com
Last week, I stumbled upon HeTexted.com, a website devoted to “interpreting” cryptic text messages from men. Here’s how it works: a user sends in a text message, includes their own comments giving necessary background information, and leaves the decision up to the internet. Anyone in the blogosphere can vote in one of three ways regarding the sender’s intentions: either he’s into you, he’s not into you, or the verdict is still out. Sound familiar? My first instinct was to hate it, to repost the link with some snarky comment about the novel idea of actually asking your partner what they meant. My second instinct was to hate it more, wondering why these people couldn’t just ask their friends what they thought rather than airing all their dirty laundry on the internet. Continue Reading →
10 Sex Educators You Should Follow on Twitter
Twitter is a great place to hear about the work sex educators and researchers are doing all over the world. Often it will be the first place I see the latest sex-in-the-news story or it’ll be the inspiration for a new sex ed project. In light of how much I enjoy the sex ed community on Twitter, I decided to write a post (an expanded #followfriday, so to speak) highlighting some of the folks who’ve inspired me recently. This isn’t meant to be an absolute “best of,” but rather, a snapshot of people and organizations doing great work that I admire. 1. Continue Reading →
Technology To Help You Crash Weddings
I recently came across an article that focused on one of the latest smart phone app, Crash Corsage. This app allows users to locate weddings nearby, then provide the address and the dress code – so that if you crash the wedding you can dress to fit in. At my first wedding, I actually invited three of my own wedding crashers (one was a pedal cab driver who was a bit nervous about crashing the wedding, even though I insisted being the bride I was okay with it!). However, I invited those random strangers and I don’t think I would have been quite as happy if they just waltzed in on their own. If you are getting married (or know someone who is – and isn’t that almost everyone?) and want to keep your wedding off of Crash Corsage, just make sure that your wedding website is password protected. The app works by scanning wedding websites, so keeping it password protected will avoid letting your info show up on Crash Corsage (at least for now). Continue Reading →
Locate Sex Offenders With Facebook
While there are several web sites that can help with locating sex offenders, I was interested when I stumbled upon a Facebook application that locates sex offenders in New York state. I found the new app easy to use – you can search by last name, zip code, or county. The last name is helpful if you know who you’re looking for, but I found the zip code or county searches to be most helpful. A friend of mine used a similar site recently to see how many sex offenders are located near houses she is looking at purchasing. Said friend is a mother of young children, and is not thrilled about the fact that there are dozens of sex offenders located within a few blocks of her current house. Continue Reading →
Are Cell Phones More Important Than Sex?
Data from a non-scientific survey released on August 3 says that 33% of Americans would give up sex before they would give up their cell phone. My question is, are we giving up sex just on one day or sex in general (the survey is asking about giving up your phone for a week or sex for a week)? Also, is just intercourse or sexing of any sort (the survey didn’t say)? But back to the actual survey. As one might expect, the respondents with smart phones were more attached to their phones than those of us with boring phones (I’m in that category with an “unsmart” phone, I guess), and iPhone owners are most attached of all.

Wii Dares What Kinect Won’t
In a previous post of mine, I conjectured that it would be a long time before we see a Rock Band type game looking at sex and sexual activity. Well, I have been proven wrong! This article talks about the parents who are up in arms since a company released a sexy Truth or Dare game for the Nintendo Wii. Check out the commercial – it seems like tame fun that could lead to other things! What do you about this? Like Violet Blue, the NSFW bloggess that led me here, does this entice you to purchase and/or dust off the Wii? Or perhaps something to use the Wii for now that your Wii Fit board is languishing unloved in the corner? Or is this normal adult/teen antics for the virtual video game age?

New Ways to Kinect
As a follow-up to the wonderful article on Vagina Hero, I wanted to share this:
Penny Arcade, one of the gamer communities’ flagship webcomics, is at times both hilarious and offensive. Is also occasionally impenetrable as well, especially if you aren’t versed in gamer speak. Fortunately, I am more l33t than n00b, so I am able to keep up with at least half of what they say. Continue Reading →
Virtual Partners
There are many opportunities out there for individuals to explore when looking for a partner. Some more common than others; we’ve heard of blind dates, speed dating, and the oh-so-poplar online dating – but what about video game dating? Thanks to my older sister, I recently read a rather intriguing article from The Wall Street Journal about real men establishing relationships with virtual women. Continue Reading →
