Would you like to incorporate vibrators and other sex toys in your bedroom play, but aren’t sure how to introduce the concept to your man? Some men may feel insecure when you bring up the topic of toys, but others may be eager to use them for the first time. The only way you’ll know is to ask him.

Follow these tips to gently add a new element to your love life.

1.    Start small. We mean this literally and figuratively. The 9-inch long, extra-thick vibrating cock may intimidate your man a little. He might be less than enthused to hear it’s got 10 different speeds of vibration, pulsation and gyration. Most men only want to find that many buttons on the remote that controls their electronics equipment, not your you-know-what.

Begin with a slimline vibe that looks nothing like the real thing. Lady Calston’s Feel Good Slim Vibe can help create a great first experience for him or her.

2.    Seek the straight and narrow. Similarly, steer clear of anything that looks like a cock.

3.    Don’t let on that you’re a pro. When you first open your toy box, your man may want to know just how much action your collection has seen. Just smile seductively and say, “I use them now and then.” Deep in the back of your mind, you may know he masturbates daily, but that doesn’t mean you want to think about it. Neither does he.

4.    Demonstrate for him. If your partner seems uncomfortable or unsure what to do, give him a demo. And make it a real show. We promise you he will be so turned on, he’ll do anything you want after that.

5.    Use toys for two. Some clitoral vibes are great to use during intercourse. Your man won’t feel like he’s left out of the equation, and he’s sure to love the resonating vibrations, too. The We Vibe, for instance, is designed specifically for a man and woman to use together.

6.    Discuss it outside the bedroom. You can drop hints about toys you’d like to use by taking your man shopping – online, of course! Surf the Web with him one night and point out some of Vibrator.com’s more interesting, couple-friendly products. Chances are, he’ll be intrigued. If he seems lukewarm to the concept, start a dialogue. “I think these would be fun to use; what do you think?” During an honest discussion, he can air any misgivings and you can reassure him, or at least share your point-of-view.

7.    Toys for him. In some ways, introducing cock rings and pumps might be easier. After all, you merely have to tell him how good it will feel. What man doesn’t want more powerful orgasms and stronger sensations during sex?

8.    What about vibes for him? Once you’ve both gotten used to using vibrators together, he may get curious about experience the vibrations from a closer perspective. Or maybe you will be the one to suggest it.

Use plenty of lube for anal penetration and go slowly. Request that he communicates with you; let him set the pace.

Does color matter? If you think your guy will have hang-ups about something pink, purple or girly, go with a neutral color. On the other hand, some men won’t care at all.

Whatever toy you use, make sure to clean and sterilize it thoroughly before going from ass to vagina. It’s best to keep two separate toys on hand for these purposes if you plan to use vibes for anal and vaginal penetration during a single session. Who wants to get up and clean toys in the middle of sex?

Hitachi Magic Wand reviewed by Beautiful Dreamer

I didn’t plan to buy a vibrator last weekend.

In fact, our tour de adult shops focused on one very specific goal—finding thigh high leather boots for my best friend’s honeymoon.

Our quest took us to a three-story shop with an adult store on the lower level, and all manner of Wiccan, goth and “drug culture” memorabilia on the main retail floor. Looking for tarot cards, incense and a spiked collar? You’d find it here, along with an entire wall of leather boots.

In our mid-to-late 30s, my best friend and I were the oldest people in this store. And the only ones not clothed in black, with hair dyed in fluorescent colors. Imagine an X-rated video section tucked in the corner of Hot Topic, and you’ve got a pretty good description of this place. The phrase “Head shop with an identity crisis” also comes to mind.

When I spotted a Doc Johnson wireless remote control vibe for a little over $50, I couldn’t turn it down. But let me be clear: we were not in your usual adult video store, nor did the clientele represent the typical adult store demographic.

Every adult store has the resident overcoated perv in the corner ogling female customers, the quiet couple browsing the how-to videos, the twenty-something loner seeking something to keep him busy Saturday night, and the gaggle of bachelorette party babes giggling over the penis drink stirrers.

My first clue that something was amiss came right after I paid. The 19-year-old (at least, he looked 19) behind the counter put the toy in a paper bag, handed it to me and sent me on my way.

As anyone who’s purchased adult toys knows, they are non-refundable (quite understandably) and the clerk usually puts batteries in to make sure it works before you leave the store. I’m not thrilled with the idea of the fat, hairy middle-aged guy usually behind the counter in an adult store handling such an intimate item, but it’s better than being out $50 if the vibrator is defective. (Incidentally, Vibrator.com has a special, and very fair, return policy. You may write in to request a refund or exchange if your merchandise does not work… but back to our story! )

“Aren’t you going to make sure it works?” I asked the clerk.

His eyes gazed blankly at me. “Oh,” he said, slowly. Everything he did was slow. I’m not passing judgment or making assumptions, but I can’t help but think he frequently tested the “tobacco products” for sale in the store. “I suppose we should,” he said.

This isn’t your normal vibrator with a few AA batteries. Six watch batteries power the egg while a CR2, commonly used in digital cameras, powers the controller.

I tried to hide an expression that was half-smirk, half-grimace as I watched him putting six batteries smaller than my thumb into the small, egg-shaped contraption. I offered to help. Clearly uncomfortable handling the sex toy, he heaved a sigh and handed it to me.

I installed the batteries and pushed the button. Nothing.

A line has formed behind us, two twenty-something men with a question about a tobacco pipe and some kids buying rolling paper (for tobacco, of course.) Everything in the store is to be used only for tobacco, it is noted on signs taped to the wall.

I suspected one of the batteries might be facing the wrong way. I opened the egg and promptly dropped the batteries (all six) on the floor. I bent down to pick them up, knocking into the man behind me. My best friend giggled; I joined her.

Apparently, the spectacle of two women buying a vibrator became far more interesting than tobacco pipes, and everyone in the store gathered around to see if we could get the toy working.

After taking out and putting in the batteries three times—and checking the single battery in the remote, as well–we suggested to the clerk that the vibrator may be broken. Stumped, he called the manager.

The manager brought us a new vibrator, opened the package, started the process again.

“Does each remote work only on the egg it’s sold with?” I asked, my imagination running wild at the possibilities if one remote can control more than one vibrator.

“Of course,” the manager replied, giving me an odd look. “They’re all coded differently.” Adult novelty items are a recent addition to the shop, and I can tell he’s second-guessing the decision to carry them.

“That would be like a comedy skit if one remote controlled more than one vibrator!” my friend said, painting a verbal picture of women in a restaurant jumping and orgasming at sporadic intervals.

“It could make for an interesting evening!” I said, laughing.

A moment later, the egg I had in my hand—from the first, broken vibrator—began buzzing, as did the one in the manager’s hand. Letting out a girlish squeal, I dropped the toy and it fell just the right way to roll beneath the counter.

“I guess the remotes do work on more than one!” my friend observed.

Twenty minutes later, we managed to leave the store with a working vibrator and a modicum of dignity. Until we ran into the guys so amused by our antics. “Have fun with that!” they said as we walked out the door together.

Yes, from now on, I am definitely doing all my shopping for sex toys online.

Generally, bloggers here will advise on the proper way to handle one’s self for all things sexual.  While instructions on cunnilingus, fellatio, the best vibrator, and how to fulfill your partner’s sick and intimate fantasies should certainly be what readers are looking for, there is apparently just as big of a need for detailing the WRONG way of doing things as well.  Most of us are still figuring out our own bodies and are continually discovering new sensations.  We spend much less time with someone else’s body than with our own, leaving our partners one step ahead of the self-pleasure game.  Add to that the difference in genders of heterosexual relationships and a lot of unanswered questions, and you have a recipie for confusion.  Trial and error.

This is a funny clip from the Swedish film Hip Hip Hora.  Enjoy!

I’m a lingerie junkie. I’ve always preferred black and frilly, but my husband has a penchant for white and slinky.

It took a lot for me to don a white lace teddy the first time, but as soon as I got over my lack of confidence, the idea that only basic black is flattering and slimming, I packed an entire suitcase with white or pretty pastel-colored lingerie for our honeymoon. He loved it!

Of course, I was thrilled to see that Vibrator.com has expanded its lingerie line and posted it right on the home page. It’s taking every bit of willpower I have right now to blog instead of shop!

I find it a little sad that some women aren’t comfortable enough with their bodies to enjoy the power of lingerie. Yes, power. You’re putting on a peek-a-boo show for your partner; you’re in control of what you’re wearing — and when it comes off.

Most men will drool over whatever you don, whether it’s black leather or white lace. But when you find a style that fits your body, you’ll love the way you look, you’ll feel sexier… and that will make all the difference.

Pear-shaped… If you have a figure that may be described as “hippy,” look for a style that draws the eye upward. Fun, flirty detailing or a strapless style that accentuates your bust will stimulate his senses.

Large-busted… It probably doesn’t take much to get your guy all a-quiver over your assets. If you’ve got it, show it off! Remember, you do want some support, for both comfort and looks, so don’t shy away from foam-molded cups. Fashion experts also recommend a halter top for large-chested women. Not everyone can get away with a halter style, so if you’re lucky enough to pull this off—he’ll be pulling it off you in no time!

Slim… Women with a slim or boyish figure can basically get away with any style, so get adventurous! Colors and patterns add girlish dimensions to your figure, while flirty accents, such as fringes, on the bottom draw attention to your legs while disguising straight hips.

Full-figured… Vibrator.com has a full line of lingerie for larger women, too. Look for a supportive top and a style that makes you feel great!

Whatever your size or shape, looking good in lingerie is mainly about attitude. Whether you’re small and perky or classically-figured and well-endowed, turn up those lights and flaunt what you’ve got.

There’s a little fantasy of mine where I’m sprawled out in my tub, water from the shower cascading down onto my clit, with my vibe tucked neatly right where it belongs… and my husband walks in.

He doesn’t want to join in, just wants to watch me go through my repertoire. Other women may be mortified at the idea, but I can think of few things sexier. Besides, imagine all the tips your lover will pick up by watching you do what you’ve been doing for years?

If I’m feeling particularly imaginative, I’ll add another element to the fantasy, where he asks:  “Can I help?” There’s nothing hotter. And ladies, if you happen to walk in on your man while he’s checking out his porn collection, I encourage you to try the phrase. You may never see a bigger smile (among other things).

So what if you actually do have the opportunity to try out your sex toys with your partner? First, release your inhibitions. If you’ve been playing alone for a while, it might seem strange to have someone else involved in what used to be just you and your Pearl Lotus.

Some men may feel as if they’re in competition with the toy. After all, it might be bigger, more flexible, and it’s definitely got more functions. Make sure not to neglect his part when you bring your battery-operated friend into the bedroom.

Starting off with a toy that looks nothing like a penis may ease any trepidations he may have. You may even start with something small and basic, a standard “beginner vibe” or a small bullet vibe. With a remote control bullet, you can give him the controller, putting all the power in his hands.

Both bullets and basic vibes feel amazing rubbed on your clit during the act of sex. Doggy-style works best, but you can even use the vibe when you’re face to face. If he’s up to it, rub the vibe, on a low setting, gently against his balls. Gauge his reaction and then rev it up. Most men will love it.

If you’ve never experienced double stimulation with an anal vibe in the girl-on-top position, this is a must-try — and something you can’t really do to the same effect alone.

As you get more comfortable with gadgets, there are plenty of couple’s toys on the market, too. The Ultimate Couples Sensuous Sexual Enhancer is a cock ring and clit vibe with pleasure knobs all in one. You’ll both feel the powerful, stimulating vibes.

For powerful internal vibrations during love-making, there’s only one way to go: The unique “We Vibe” vibrator. This waterproof, rechargeable silicone vibe provides pleasure for both partners. And it looks nothing like a cock, just in case you can’t get your man to get over that particular hang-up.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to take your toys out of the closet!

We recently came across an artist who is just perfect for Vibrator.com! Her name is Marcie, and she’s got a slammin’ dance track called “I Can’t Stop My Vibrator.”

Listen to her tracks here: http://www.myspace.com/webmarcie

We’ll be thinking of Marcie next time we’re out at the club!

Marcie is an Internationally Renowned Singer/Songwriter and Recording Artist with releases on various Major Electronic labels like Robbins, System Recordings, Flashover, Deepblue, Shah Music, Real Music, and more. Her tunes have had the support of likes of Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Oakenfold, Above & Beyond, Dave Pearce, Markus Schulz, DJ Shah, Solarstone, Gabriel & Dresden, and Aly & Fila.

The New York premiere of “Sex and the City” took Radio City by storm last night. Not even the scattered showers deterred the die-hard fans and Carrie wanabees. Vibrator.com was there to capture the night in full.

From mid-morning, fans lined up outside of Radio City Music Hall to catch a glimpse of the “Sex” stars and claim their seat for this year’s most sought-after ticket. At one point, the line extended from 50th Street and 6th Avenue to 51st Street and 5th Avenue - an entire city block! Fans were dressed in their best evening attire and the sheer magnitude of the evening felt more like an awards show than a movie premiere. Thousands of Swarovski crystals adorned the pink carpet, and Vibrator.com stickers, t-shirts, and postcards (coincidently of the same color scheme) decorated the lapels and pockets of the masses.

Spokesmodels Desiree and Agathe worked the crowd, spreading a sex-positive message and introducing Vibrator.com to throngs of onlookers already familiar with vibrators like the Rabbit Pearl. While some mothers shielded their daughters’ eyes, many were receptive to Desiree and Agathe and happily accepted the swag. Others couldn’t get enough!

HOT 97 were there to catch Desiree ‘in the act’ with an interview on camera. We’ll be tracking down the footage to post whenever we can get our hands on it.

Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattral, and Sarah Jessica Parker arrived on the pink carpet for photo ops and to greet adoring fans. Celebrities and proud New York residents Donald Trump, Regis Philbin, Ashley Olsen, and Eli Manning all came out for the celebration.

Hundreds of general admission ticketholders were turned away as the 6000 seat Radio City Music Hall became full to capacity.

Two and a half hours later, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) hosted the premier’s afterparty, where countless A-list celebs gathered to party like they seem to do in Hollywood every other week. The “Sex and the City” series, and now the movie, depict an iconic New York in which an entire generation fantasized about living. While many of us could never afford an apartment like Carrie’s on a freelance writer’s salary, we can at least afford a movie ticket (and maybe some popcorn) when the film opens on Friday.

Everyone is a “kind” of friend. Some people are the “supportive-buys-their-
friend-ice-cream-when-their-boyfriend-dumps-them-for-being-too-needy” kind of friend. Some people are the “party-all-night-long-and-wake-up-with- your-underwear-on-your-head” kind of friend. Turns out I’m the “ask-for-advice-on-awkward-questions-about-morning-after-pills-and- other-highly-personal-things” kind of friend. As such, it’s only natural that I am also the friend who takes my friends to the somewhat creepy 24-hour sex toy store to buy their first (desperately needed) vibrator. I’ve done it so many times that it’s starting to become a science. So - if you are having some difficulty deciding what to buy for yourself, and need a guiding hand, try this on for size: I can tell what kind of vibrator or sex toy you’re going to want or need by what kind of music you listen to. Here we go…

The Indecisive Listener

You listen to everything from Fall Out Boy to Kelly Clarkson, Snoop Dogg, and Metallica. You are passionate about music in general. You always grab the chance to go to a concert, even if you’re not familiar with the band, because what’s better than live music? But don’t get the wrong idea - just because you crave variety, doesn’t mean you go for just anything. You also have an eye for quality. To Summarize: You’re passionate about what you love, you crave variety, and you know quality when you see it.

Your Toy of Choice: The Better Sex Synergy Pleasure System

To prove my point, here’s a little bit about the Better Sex Synergy Pleasure System:”The Synergy is a massager that uses a unique oscillating action (up to 12,000 oscillations per minute) to enhance pleasure. The massager has five different heads made of soft rubber. The dual navigator can be used to cup sensitive areas or turned over and the nub can stimulate. The cup and ridges attachment can add subtle stimulation or be used as a larger cup to tantalize.” In other words, this one toy gives you a variety of ways to achieve a quality climax.

The R&B, Rap, and Hip Hop Listener

First of all, you keep it real. You don’t want to hear sweet, simpering melodies or bubblegum pop. You want a creative, driving beat, innovative lyrics, social commentary, and undiluted sexuality. You like it hard and dirty, and you don’t even bother with the censored-for-radio versions of songs. Your car’s stereo system can be felt before it is heard. You get involved in the inter-artist battles, taking sides and arguing about it with your friends. You cried when Tupac and Biggie were shot. To Summarize: Basically, you don’t fuck around - and if it doesn’t have rhythm, it’s not worth it.

Your Toy of Choice:Realistic Squirmy 6-inch Beige Rotating Cock

No fuss, no frills. This cock feels just like the real thing - except it’s always big enough and hard enough, and the strong vibrations give it an extra kick. It rotates at your will, pulsing with a heady beat. This is about as real as it gets.

The Wannabe Pop Star

You have strong opinions about which Simpson and Duff sister is cuter, and you like, totally think Jessica broke Nick Lachey’s heart (poor thing!). You are drawn to the simple, undemanding lyrics, and you like how fun and fashion-forward the singers are. You’re a big fan of best-friend sleepovers, where you both dance around like Britney in your pajamas, singing wholeheartedly into a couple of Conair brushes. You’re popular in school, but you’re still pretty shy around boys. (Oh, and by the way - definitelyAshlee and Haley!) To Summarize: You’re more into pretty and simple than complicated and kinky.

Your Toy of Choice:The Lelo NEA

This pretty little item is uncomplicated - just two discreet buttons that gradually increase or decrease the speed of vibration - but it packs a powerful punch. You’re not ready for a big nasty dildo vibrator with all sorts of attachments, but you are ready for an elegant, smooth little pebble of a vibrator. It fits snugly into the cup of your hand, and is easily manipulatable, for perfectly tailored stimulation. The delicate floral detail appeals to your aesthetic sense, and its small, sleek design allows it to be easily hidden from your parents and your little brother while you learn how take care of yourself. To top it all off, it’s quiet. Perfect, I know.

The Rocker/Alternative Girl

Torn-out magazine pictures of Angelina Jolie are taped to your wall, and lately you’ve been identifying yourself as “bi-curious” - which basically means you’re a little kinky, and a little provocative, but you’re sort of unsure about what qualifies as “sex” in a lesbian relationship (don’t worry, you’re not alone). Your hair has been several colors. You’re more interested in intelligent music played by talented artists than you are by the consumer-America style of pop. You take it as a personal affront when people like artists that don’t write their own music. You have at least one piercing, and - you know…FUCK authority. To Summarize: You’re an independent thinker who prefers counter-culture, and you’re drawn to real ideas, raw talent, and progressive music.
