Sex Toys And Travel – What You Need To Know

By

Traveling with sex toys can be tough – do you really want to get caught by airport security with a buzzing vibrator in your luggage?

Just follow these tips to keep your intimate goodies safe and away from curious eyes.

Travel Size Sex Toys

Before going on your trip – whether you plan to travel by air, sea or by car – consider purchasing a smaller size sex toy instead of bringing your usual items with you. Smaller size objects are usually much more discreet and can be packed away nicely in a side pocket, makeup bag or even your purse. They’re much easier to handle than larger dildos and vibrators and the risk of getting caught with one is much lower than if you bring your Rabbit or a giant, penis-shaped dildo.

Small, bullet shaped vibrators are easy to carry (some can even be put on your keyring) and aren’t going to cause any suspicion if they get found, because they can pass for just about anything – even lipstick. If you’re worried that a small vibrator isn’t going to give you what your dildo at home does, don’t be too concerned about it. The smaller vibes will get the job done and a bigger, better orgasm isn’t worth having your favorite sex toy found – or worse, confiscated!

Discreet Sex Toys

While it is harder for someone else to tell that tiny bullet vibes are actually sex toys at first glance, there are other vibrators that are ultra discreet and designed specifically for stealth. Take the rubber duckie vibrator for example. Designed to look just like a simple rubber duckie for the bathub, it has a secret vibrating beak and tail that will turn a boring bubble bath into something much more! Small, handheld clitoris vibrators can be held in the palm of your hand and could easily pass for a laptop computer mouse, while other discreet sex toys look like pens with a secret vibrating end!

Tips For Traveling With Sex Toys

One you’ve picked your favorite out of the many sex toys that are great for vacationing, there are also some other guidelines you’ll want to follow just to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

  • Bring lube with you, but remember that lube is a liquid and needs to comply with the same airport guidelines for other liquids such as shampoo, lotion, sunscreen, etc.
  • Keep the other items in your bag clean and dry by making sure you place your lube bottle in a plastic zipper bag in case there is leakage.
  • Take the batteries out of any vibrator that you bring and pack them separately. Nothing draws attention at the airport than a vibrating suitcase!

If You Get Busted

Even if you’ve taken every precaution that you can to make sure your sex toys don’t get discovered while you’re traveling, you still might get busted. Remember though, even if you do get caught with a sex toy or vibrator in your luggage, it’s not illegal. Even the largest, most offensive “mega g-spot dildos” aren’t illegal to have with you while in a car, on a plane, or going on a cruise. You’ve done nothing wrong by bringing something of a sexual nature in your bag so you’re not going to get in trouble – it’s just going to be a pretty embarassing situation.

You can, however, lessen the embarassment by having a sense of humor about the situation! Laugh it off and say, “That’s my vibrator, sorry!” The security guards have pretty much seen it all before and don’t have the time to stand around and show everyone your sex toys. If you do get caught, your vibrator will most likely be shoved back into your bag and the line will move on. However, if you act suspiciously when your sex toys get pulled out of your bag for examination, they may think that there’s something more to it than just batteries, lube and fuzzy handcuffs. That’s something you don’t want to have to deal with! If you get busted, brush it off and move forward with having fun while traveling because that’s what it’s all about!

Best Anal Sex Tips Of 2010

By

Anal sex is an activity that lots of couples enjoy, including both men and women. It can create wonderful sensations for both partners if done safely (and with lots and lots of good lube). For women, anal stimulation can be a wonderful addition to oral sex or vaginal intercourse. Contrary to popular belief, many women truly do enjoy anal play with their partner or even with toys.

Anal stimulation can also be a great way for men to discover their prostate gland and have more powerful, earth shattering orgasms. Even though anal play has lots of great benefits, if proper safety precautions aren’t taken before engaging in the activity, it can have lots of drawbacks as well – almost all of which can be prevented with a little planning. The anus does not self lubricate, so a generous amount of a good sexual lubricant must be used at all times. Also, when experimenting with anal toys, it’s important to make sure they are designed specifically with safety in mind.

Toys without a wide, flared base or ring on the end can get lost inside (this usually will require an embarrassing trip to the emergency room). This past year, we’ve found the information you need to not only make anal stimulation super pleasurable and fun, but also to keep it clean and safe. Check out our top “rear entry” techniques of 2010 so you can have fun well into the new year!

Sex Toys Review: The We-Vibe II

By

There are very few sex toys that offer everything the We-Vibe II does – all in one sex toy. Offering both clitoral stimulation and g-spot pleasure, it is one of the only sex toys that can be comfortably worn by a woman during intercourse. I definitely recommend that you add this to your ‘must-have’ list!

The Good

The We-Vibe II used on its own is all the things your bullet toy wished it could be and when used with your guy, it proves that sex toys don’t need rabbit ears to show you a good time!

The Bad

The coating is wonderful as far as how the toy feels while using it, but it does tend to have a little tackiness when not being used that can get dirty by things sticking to it. So make good use of the pretty satin bag that comes with it and store it away properly after washing and drying.

The Bottom Line

With a clitoris and g-spot stimulator, what more could a girl ask for? Rechargeable perhaps so you’re local store clerk doesn’t start giving you that pervy look when he sees you buying batteries…again? Or how about a soft silicone coating that is firm enough to offer solid stimulation, but soft enough to be comfortable? Oh, and water-resistant. Yes, yes and yes! (Excuse me a moment.) This sex toy has all of that, and more.

The Review

When you get your We-Vibe, you’ll notice that this toy is all class from the start. Even the packaging is as discreet as the toy itself. To look at it, it doesn’t openly scream, “I’m a sex toy!” where you need to be concerned if it were ever glimpsed by someone you didn’t necessarily want to know all your private business. It’s just a small, colorful, u-shaped device that could be for anything. The coating on it is a top-quality silicone, so what this means to us girls is that it’s soft, not a hard plastic feel like some sex toys.

Here’s the best part, well, the second-best part. It comes with a plug so you can recharge it! No batteries in this puppy! The great thing about this is, of course, you can always have it ready to go and you won’t have that horrific moment when it stops working at just the wrong moment (we have men for that, right?), and it also helps the toy keep it’s slender size since they don’t have to make room for batteries. There is a small dimple in the coating where you plug it in to re-charge it, which also keeps water from getting into the toy if you use it in the shower or bath.

Now for the best part… how it feels! It has a nice, strong motor in it that offers great vibration to the clitoral and g-spot areas. This allows for women who use it to achieve a blended orgasm! It’s also multi-functional, so you have a variety of options, one for every day of the week if you like. (I apologize in advance for you indecisive folks, because you’ll have a hard time deciding just which one you like best!) Used alone, it’s that hands-free, wireless sex toy you’ve been looking for. But where the tortoise beats the hare, or rabbit, is that it is perfect for using as a couple.  Many sex toys are designed to be used alone, but this one is actually awesome for couples to use! The thin design and soft coating are made for allowing a woman to get the stimulation she desires, while having sex with a partner. It may take you a minute to figure out the optimal way to wear the toy so it is in the correct position during penetration, but once you get it there….well, I’ll let you imagine. The great thing is that he is also getting additional pleasure from the internal vibrator against him. So if you happen to have a guy that is shy about sex toys, having one that you can use together, and makes sex feel better for him too, is a great way to get him to reconsider.

There are very few toys out right now that can offer everything that the We-Vibe II does. I definitely recommend that you add this to your ‘must-have’ list!

Best Masturbation Techniques Of 2010

By

Men get a bad rap for masturbation but let’s face it – women do it to, and masturbation actually isn’t all that bad. It has a reputation for being “taboo,” due to society and some cultures believing that it’s “wrong.” In fact, ridiculous rumors still circulate about boys that masturbate will go blind or grow hair on their palms!  

As society evolves, however, we’re learning that masturbating is really a healthy part of anyone’s sex life and both men and women can benefit from masturbating. In fact, regular masturbation can do lots of things such as relieve stress and prevent premature ejaculation and unwanted erections. It can also be a part of building a strong sexual relationship with your significant other. Couples who are open about masturbating and masturbate separately and together will have a stronger and more satisfying sexual relationship with each other than couples who are afraid of masturbation or do it in secret.

People who are single and don’t have a sex partner don’t have to make masturbation quick and dirty – it too can be as physically satisfying as having sex with someone (and sometimes even better!) There are lots of ways for men and women to fly solo (both with sex toys and without), but not everyone knows how to really click their own mouse. We’ve done tons of articles on masturbating this year, but here are our best masturbation tips of 2010 for boys and girls!
