So you don’t think that all we can talk about around this blog is sex, masturbation or spicing things up, here is a post showcasing some of the fun you can find that doesn’t involve removing any clothing. (Unless you want to of course!) As more folks are eschewing going out in favor of at home gatherings, here is a collection of some decidedly adult themed games where the fun increases with the number of players.
A lot of the time when covering products we save personal favorites for last, this time we’re going to start with one of the most popular adult games out there. Dirty Minds - The Game of Naughty Clues and it’s sister games are some sure crowd pleasers. They follow a fairly basic premise, one person reads off a collection of dirty sounding clues, while everyone else must figure out the clean answer. (Here is a sample: I’m a four letter word, I’m a name for a woman, I end in U-N-T. What am I?) The dirtier your mind is, the worse off are your chances of ending the victor. It is also easily adapted to a drinking game, if you are so inclined, where those who cannot clean up their minds must drink. Dirty Minds and the second edition More Dirty Minds include 912 naughty clues, 304 clean answers, 50 game cards, 4 puzzle booklets and a pencil.
If board games are more your style, there is also the Dirty Minds Deluxe Edition Board Game. The ultimate edition of the world’s cleanest “dirty” game. Now played on a game board, it features hundreds of new naughty puzzles and an entirely new category - Dirty Deeds. Following the style of the two previous games, Dirty Minds Deluxe will provide two or more adults with hours of laughter as seemingly filthy clues continue to point towards the most innocent of answers. Some people say a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste. Just remember, in this game nothing is as dirty as it seems! Dirty Minds Deluxe contains 906 hilariously naughty clues, 304 clean answers plus 50 bonus Dirty Deeds.
Next up is more of the Thinking Person’s adult game, SexSmarts. This question and answer game is designed for anyone from novice to sexpert to show off their knowledge of all things sexual in a competitive setting, or simply as a conversation starter to see where people’s opinions lie. Categories include Carnal Culture - sex through the ages, Bodies - hot spots and positions, Dirty Tallk - the language of lust, and Wild Card - salacious samplings. Each SexSmarts box contains 100 SexSmarts question and answer cards - True-false and multiple choice cards that open new worlds about the culture, practice and history of sex, a 16-page guide packed with great sex information including activities to do at home or out in the world, resources, and other titillating subjects, and a score sheet to find out how you measure up against the competition.
If you want your party guests to get off their butts and start moving around Sexy Slang is the game for your gathering. It is an adult party game that combines charades and drawings but with a naughty twist. Played with 4 or more people split into teams racing against each other to draw the same naughty terms or act the same sexy charades terms at the same time. With 500 kinky and sometimes “Super Kinky” terms, Sexy Slang is the party game that uniquely combines sex and humor. Each game contains 500 Sexy Slang cards, Two Sexy Slang Dry-Erase boards, Dry-Erase markers, a Sexy Slang Score pad, and a Timer. Also check out the Charades Only version Sexy Slang’s Naughty Charades, which includes 2 Card Decks, 300 Naughty Charades Terms, 1 Naughty Charades Die, and Instructions.
Last but not least are the series of tried and true drinking games - What The F*ck, What The F*ck Raunchy, and What The F*ck? The Totally F*cked Up Game. Each follow a similar game play, one player rolls the dice to select the random, dirty question they must answer while the other players bet on how they’ll handle the question. Whoever guesses the incorrect answer must either drink or perform some delightfully humiliating task, depending on how you wish to play. The winner is decided by who ever is the most sober or who has the most dignity by the end of the game. (Please people, no matter how much fun you are having, please drink responsibly.) All three games are great fun the more people you have, just choose the level of raunchy and wrong that works for your group of friends. Each version of the game includes Two What The F*ck Books, Dice and Playing Chips.
As people are “tightening their belts” all around and cutting back on some of the luxuries we took for granted so recently, more people have taken to doing their personal grooming at home. Brazilians and trips to be waxed are a thing of the past for many of us, but shaving at home doesn’t have to be a chore. Though on sensitive bits, not just any shaving cream will do. To avoid irritation, unslightly bumps and sometimes agonizing ingrown hairs, you need a specialized cream for a specialized area. Which is where Coochy Cream comes into play.
The name says it all, Coochy is specially formulated to protect skin and provide a smooth, moisturizing shave to any part of the body. A little bit goes a long way on legs, underarms, bikini or pubic areas, or his face. Yes guys, many men borrow this from their ladies for their own uses. Don’t worry, no one has to know. The exceptional moisturizing that leaves all areas of the body silky smooth also means this is an excellent conditioner for coarse facial hair, or if you prefer to not go totally bald, softens and scents public hair as well.
Coochy comes in a variety of scents and sizes to fit your needs, as well as a completely Fragrance Free version for those who are extra sensitive. The Original version has a very light, fresh floral, almost baby powder-esque fragrance and can be found in 1oz Travel Size, 4 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz with pump top. Pear Berry is perhaps the most popular scent, as it leaves a soft Pear and summer Berry fragrance on the skin for long after your bath or shower has ended. Available in 1 oz Travel Size, 4 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz with pump top. Should florals not be your smell of choice, or if you believe this product might be shared between you and your partner, the Green Tea formula may be the right choice for you. Again in 1 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, and 16 oz with - you guessed it! - a pump top. Lastly the aforementioned Fragrance Free version for sensitive skin, which also works as a unisex cream. Snap it up in Travel Size, 4 oz, 8 oz, or your biggest bang for your buck, 16 oz. Don’t know which you’d like best? Try Coochy’s 1 oz Travel Size Signature Collection Sample Pack and have a different fragrance for weeks on end!
Happy Grooming!
Clitoral stimulation gels are some of our most popular products. Anything that helps a woman achieve that “screaming O” is a blessing right? Well there are literally hundreds of different creams on the market, and of course some are better than others. Different creams work for different people, everyone has their own favorite, but there are a few that work for most everyone across the board. Also because of the ingredients some are better for certain people, so let’s take a look at some of the “tried and true”, best of the best.
First up are two creams from System JO. System makes some of the highest quality and best performing lubricants and sexual stimulants on the planet, so it is no surprise that their gels are so wildly popular. System JO Clitoral Stimulant Gel is for any woman who wants to enhance her sexual pleasure, heighten her passion and fulfill her desire for intimacy. When applied properly, JO will cause a warm/cooling tingling sensation resulting in increased sexual pleasure and satisfaction. Apply only a few drops to the tip of a finger and apply to the underside of the clit for fastest absorption. These
do not contain L-Arginies (L-Arginies may increase the chance of a Herpes outbreak in individuals with herpes). Each bottle contains 30-40 applications, and is available in
Wild and
Mild strengths. (Note: Wild is too strong for many people. If you’re not sure which is for you, try the mild first. Too much stimulation can cause numbness, and no one wants that.)
Now if you have spent any time in an adult shop in your lifetime, you are sure to have seen the infamous purple box of
Orgasmix. One of the first of the stimulation gels to hit the market, it has earned it’s must have placement in all shops because it just works. Containing L-Arginine, Menthol, Yohimbe, and Ginseng as its stimulating ingredients, this product should only be avoided if you or your partner has herpes. Application is the same as the System JO products above, a few small drops to the underside of the clit and rub the goodness in. The warming/cooling sensation lasts between 15-20 minutes, and when it starts to wear off feel free to reapply. (Tip: A drop around the head of the penis drives many men absolutely over the edge.)
Last but not least are two products from Kama Sutra. If you have a preference for either warming or cooling, Kama Sutra Intensifying Gels are for you. Some people only respond to one or the other, find a warming sensation to be a little too much on an already hot area, or find the tingling sensation too distracting to enjoy other sensations. So you have your choice,
Kama Sutra Intensifying in Warming and Arousing, or
Cool and Tingle. Each bottle is .5 ounces and comes with a hand screw top for secure storage. Use sparingly and often.

As mentioned in the post below covering different collections to create a sensual mood, feeling sexy and sexual can be just as important to an intimate experience as the sex itself. Moments of pampering will de-stress, relax and rejuvenate the spirit. Also, getting squeaky clean before getting down a dirty is just a delight. Which is why Kama Sutra has a line of fantastic bathing products to get both the mind and body in the mood for love.
Kama Sutra Bath Gels are bathing in luxury. These refreshing and silky-smooth luxurious bathing gels are blended from natural vegetable extracts and Vitamin E-rich wheat germ. Each bathing gel offers a sensual alternative to bar soap for the bath or shower. In addition, the convenient pump bottle makes these luxury gels perfect at the sink for washing hands for a luxe pick me up anytime of day. Dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic they are all body safe, but are for external use only. So if you plan on getting frisky in the tub, don’t attempt to use as a lubricant. 17.5 fl oz in your choice of
Ocean Blu, mild
Mint Tree,
Wild Clove or add some zip to your day with
Tangy Citrus.
Create a frothy bubble bath with
Kama Sutra Treasures Of The Sea’s blend of nature’s most precious gifts - vitamins, minerals and nutrients from the sea.

Should you be in the market for a sensual but not overly sexual gift, or simply want to pamper yourself, the
Kama Sutra Spa Pleasures Gift Set is for you. Enticing fragrances and subtle sensations abound.

We all know keeping the spark in a relationship or stroking the fires in a new one is not just the sex itself, a huge part is setting the mood, so we wanted to highlight a few of the wonderful kits out there to do just that. These kits are all meant to stimulate the senses, add to a relaxing and passionate atmosphere, and create a barrier between the routine of the daily grind and yourselves. While geared towards couples, there is no reason that the single amongst us can’t grab one to aid in setting the mood for your own “personal time”. Few things are as relaxing and rejuvenating as pampering yourself or others.
First up we have the
52 Weeks of Naughty Nights. Geared towards couples this makes an excellent starter for rekindling romance and spontaneity. Set up a weekly date night and when you’re ready to get down to business have one of you reach into the luxurious silk pouch to reveal a scratch and win card of sensual thrills. Cards contain Sexy I.O.Us, Role Play suggestions, Coupons for Delights, Sensual Suggestions and a Devilish Game to get the action started. With one for every week of the year there is always something else to look forward to.

On a similar vein is the

All you need to include is that special someone to share with.
Continuing on the anal theme from the previous post, today we’re going to get into anal beads and balls. Anal beads are a series of PVC, Rubber, Jelly, Plastic or Silicone beads strung together on a cord. While many of the inexpensive beads come on a nylon cord, this type of cord cannot be properly cleaned and those should be considered one use toys. Since there are many options with a more hygienic connection between the beads, we’re going to concentrate on these.
Anal beads range in size from marble to softball size, though I believe it goes without saying that the larger types are for the very experienced anal fans. Popular with people who enjoy the opening and closing sensation of the anus around each bead, they are also very pleasurable for double penetration play as they can be felt through the vaginal walls adding a new dimension of ribbing. Some people prefer to have the beads firmly and swiftly removed during climax, others find this distracting and are more into a slow removal pre or post orgasm. Not sure what camp you fall under? Try multiple removal techniques to figure out what works best for you.
On the smaller end of things are beads like Emma’s Passion Garden Pleasure Beads in Sensual Lemon. Made from Phthalate Free jelly and consist of five slim, evenly spaced, lightly textured beads. They are not gradually sized so each will be as easy to insert as the first and gives a consistent sensation at removal. Similarly shaped but with a slight graduation of beads are the Flexi Felix toys from Fun Factory. Easily one of the least threatening looking toys on the market these adorable beads have a length of 12.5 inches (including handle) and a max bead size of 1 inch. Made from 100% silicone these toys are hygienic as well as long lasting, and come with a packet of water based lubricant as well as a handy brochure with tips and tricks. Available in Candy Blue and Pink.
Next up are some of our most popular beads, the Silicone X-10 line. These beads have a wide range of sizes, from .325 inches all the way up to a full inch with a length of 10.25 inches. The first few beads are so small that they barely register for most people, but quickly move into a more fulling size. Excellent for anal newbies, the cord area between each bead is very slim so you can easily stop before the last one without much worry of them popping back out before you want them to. Made from hygienically superior Silicone, they are long lasting and easy to keep clean. Get them in Red, Black and Purple.
Another popular choice are the Pleasure PVC Beads. These are non-graduated .75 inch beads on a 12 inch PVC cord for easy clean up. The beads are rather low on the string so they can be easily inserted and then allowed to move with you depending on your activity. Available in Double and Single strands, the double can be used for double penetration, on you and your partner at once, or both can be inserted for a rolling good time. Double Strands can be found in Charcoal and Red, as well as Singles in the same Charcoal and Red.
Ready for a little more size? Check out these Sensafirm Booty Balls. Each ball is 1.375 inches in diameter and the 9.5 inches of length will conform to your body shape. While that extra .375 may not seem like much of a step beyond the 1 inch toys, the smallest increments in anal toys can make all the difference. Sensafirm is a flexible jelly like material so you may want to cover the toy with a condom tied over the last ball for the easiest clean up. Booty Balls can be found in gender neutral Tangerine and Lime. The last toy we’ll “plug” today rides the line between anal beads and a butt plug, though as the main feature are the beads we’ve decided to place it in this post, the Silicone Large Ripple. Smaller in size than the Booty Balls, this toy is no less of a beast. 6 inches long with graduated beads from 7/8th of an inch to 1 3/8th it is a wonder either anally or vaginally. Made from 100% Medical Grade Silicone, this toy should give you a lifetime of pleasure. (Side note, the ripple also comes in a less intense Small Ripple. 4.5 inches long and beads that range in size from 5/8ths of an inch to 1 inch. Same 100% Medical Grade Silicone, same wonderful, body hugging flexibility.)
Did we miss your favorite set of beads? Let us know in the comments what you’ve enjoyed!
The anus is an erogenous zone for women and men alike, though as we mature we encounter many societal taboos around anal play. Anything from “Anal play is dirty and dangerous” to “It’s immature and risky”. For women, there is the idea that “good girls don’t like it in the butt”. For men there is the idea that enjoying anal stimulation “makes them gay”, which couldn’t be further from the truth. All of that being said, the reality of the situation is that anal play doesn’t need to be any more risky or dirty than any other sexual act. You simply need to follow some common sense precautions to discover that anal is completely safe as well as completely pleasurable.
One of the best ways to begin your foray into anal pleasure is to experiment with butt plugs, which are essentially dildos designed for anal use. Before we get into some of the better plugs on the market we’d like to cover a few anal basics. Take the time to relax your sphincter muscles before inserting anything. Relaxation is a key to getting the most pleasure. Use plenty of lubricant, as the anus is not a self lubricating area of the body. (Slippery Stuff Gel is a hypoallergenic lubricant that is thicker than your typical liquid to last longer. It is also compatible with all types of toys so there are no worries about a silicone on silicone reaction.) Occasionally your toy will have a seam or slightly rough patch from the molding process, and you’ll want to file that down with a nail file before play. Finally, never transfer your toy from the anus to vagina without washing the toy. One of the best options for keeping your toy clean and easily transferable is to cover it with a condom. When it’s time to switch things around, just change out the condom without needing to stop the fun.
With that out of the way, on to the plugs! Plugs are flared at the base so the toy doesn’t slide out of reach, and many have a diamond/bulbous shape that tapers to a narrow tip. This style is the most comfortable for beginners, folks who want to wear the plug for extended periods of time, or those who find a more ribbed pattern to be distracting/uncomfortable. A perfect example of the diamond shape is the Little Flirt from Tantus, available in Copper and Purple. This 100% medical grade silicone plug is the ideal size for anyone new to anal, or those who prefer a smaller toy. At it’s widest point the toy is only one inch in diameter and the generous base ensures it isn’t going anywhere. An excellent example of the more bulbous shaping is the Love Pacifier from Cal Exotics, available in Pink and Purple. Also 100% silicone, instead of a flared base this toy has a circular easy pull handle that some find is better for quick removal, though less comfortable if you plan on wearing the toy through out the day. If the shape of the Pacifier excites you, but you’re thinking you’d like more than the 1.25 inch diameter, there is also the Advanced model in Black and Red which has a diameter of 1.5 inches. That may not sound like a step up, but it certainly is.
Sometimes when trying a new toy or experimenting with a new size you want to keep the cost low without losing much in the way of quality. Sue Jonanson’s Lock and Load line has a lower price point along with a name you can trust. The Lock and Load Petite measures in at 3 inches long with a max diameter of 1.25, Lock and Load Small is 4 X 1.75, and the Lock and Load Medium (which really is quite large) comes in at 5 X 2. All three have a slight ribbing on the base as well as suction cup functionality and are made of Jelly. Since Jelly is a porous material, please take the extra step to cover with a condom as mentioned above or wash down with Toy Cleaner before and after every use.
Another option in the graduated sizes is a collection of phallic looking plugs from Adam and Eve, the Sensafirm Booty Bumpers Kit. These are versatile dildo/plugs for however the mood strikes you in sizes ranging from Small (4″ x 1.25″) Medium (5.25″ x 1.5″) to Large (6.75″ x 1.5″). The Sensafirm material is much like a Jelly, firm yet flexible and slightly porous. All three also have a suction cup base so they can be mounted against almost any smooth surface.
Finally there is our most popular plug, the Ryder from Tantus in Purple. Just over 3 inches in length with a maximum diameter of 2 inches this toy is slightly beyond absolute beginner but has a powerfully filling sensation to it. This plug will absolutely stay put. Like all Tantus offerings it is 100% Medical Grade Silicone, bleachable and boilable. An absolute must have for any backdoor connoisseur.
Double dildos have an undeniable fantasy value. These consist of a shaft anywhere from 12 to 18 inches in length, normally with a phallic looking head on each end. One end of the toy is mounted either vaginally or anally, and the partner mounts the other. The toy is then ridden like a seesaw to orgasm, either mutually or independently. The best way to get the most satisfaction from a double dong is for one partner to hold the center of the toy and get a push/pull motion going. A good position to use while doing so is for you and your partner to lie on your sides facing opposite directions with legs scissored together.
The basic and most common version of the Double Dildo is the 18 inch Classic Double Header Veined dong in either Black or White. These are made of a jelly material that makes it incredibly flexible for easy use and the longer length allows for deeper penetration. The veining on the toy is there not only for a realistic look but for extra stimulation and ribbing. These are occasionally too long for some people, so if you are looking for something that keeps your bodies closer, take a gander at the Crystal Jelly Jrs. These 12 inch wonders are silky smooth jelly, just as flexible as their longer cousins, and come in two non realistic colors - Clear and Pink.
For the ultimate in realistic feel, the Black Label Majestic Cock cannot be beat. Made out of CyberSkin with Virtual Touch Real Skin Feel. The firm, fully erect double cock is designed for maximum penetration and performance without losing any of the bendable, flexibility that a jelly toy offers. Cyberskin toys are much more porous than any other material so to keep your toy clean and safe make sure to use a quality Toy Cleaner before and after each use.
Sometimes different partners have different size needs, one may like a little less girth in their toy and that is when the Eve’s Ecstasy 12 inch Jelly Pleaser can come in handy. The entire toy is made out of Jel-lee, Adam and Eve’s realistic feel material that is firm yet still pliable. One end has a diameter of 2 inches, while the other is tapered and at just over 1 inch at its smallest point. Also excellent for solo play, starting with the smaller size and flipping it around for a thicker, fuller feel as you become more aroused.
One of the latest developments in toy design are flexible “spines” that will allow you to bend and shape your toy to whatever angle pleases you the most. The Flexible Double Dong is a jelly double ender that includes this new innovation - available in your choice of Pink or Blue. If your partner has a sensitive G-spot and that just isn’t your thing? Now you have a toy to please everyone, every time.
Last up on the double pleasure, double fun front is the Dual Vibrating Flexi-Dong. Also made of pliable jelly with the flexible spine allowing you to shape the toy however you wish, this toy adds the orgasmic benefits of not only vibration, but pulsation as well. The center grip has push button, finger tip control and dual motors allowing for three separate powerful vibration and pulsation options. Requires three AA batteries, not included.
What the man in your life won’t tell you…but wants you to know.
Sex guides have a tendency to either be overly clinical in their wording of techniques, or to be so explicit that they could be classified as thinly veiled porn. Worst of all many are filled with positions that can only be achieved after a lifetime of yoga, are simply impractical/silly, or have recycled the same old tips most everyone has found in any Woman’s magazine. Not at all sex tip books are like this, but making your way through the sea of titles can be exhausting even for the voracious reader.
Which is why we’re mentioning Sex Tips For Straight Women From A Gay Man, by Dan Anderson and Maggie Berman. This chatty, dishy, and no-nonsense written by two best friends is a delight to read and the practical tips range from general guidelines to specific suggestions that are even more delightful to act out. Playfully illustrated in a non-technical, slightly pulpy manner, we dare you not to find this book utterly charming. Perfect addition to a gift bag for anyone from the Bride to Be in your life to the newly single girlfriend looking for the upper hand in her next endeavor. Oh, and from some personal experience? You may want to keep a spare copy around, as those loaned out tend not to find their way home.
A dildo is any object designed or used for vaginal or anal insertion and as a rule, dildos do not vibrate. Many vibrators are dildo shaped and also meant for insertion, which can sometimes lead to a little bit of sex toy lingo confusion. If your toy goes “buzz” you have a vibrator, if it does not, you are the proud owner of a dildo. We say proud owner because dildos have been with human kind for as long as civilization, and probably even predate civilization, as sculptures that resemble double dildos have been found within Upper Paleolithic art over thirty thousand years old. That fun fact is mentioned because in our current era dildos often get a bad rap as “penis substitutes” or as a second fiddle to their vibrating brethren.
If you’ve ever been in a well stocked adult store you’ve probably been awed by the variety of sizes, colors, shapes and materials that the modern consumer as access to. Variety may be the spice of life, but it can also be quite overwhelming for the first time buyer and even the more experienced among us. Before making a dildo purchase it’s best to have a slight idea of what pleasures you the most. Many times in the store customers will ask what is the “average” size or what shape the clerk thinks they will like best. We can make some educated guesses, but many people who’ve been unhappy with their toy purchases are so because of a “one size fits all” or “bigger is better” mentality. While length plays an important role in your toy selection, the diameter or girth of the toy is far more important in finding the best toy for you. There is no rule that you must insert the toy fully, but if you select something that is simply too wide for your comfort, there isn’t enough lube in the world to make it fit as you dreamed.
When most people think of a dildo, the Realistic look is what most people imagine. These are molded to look like a real penis, often with extra veining or ribbing along the shaft and below the head. Typically these come in Big and Bigger sizes, and when taken out of their boxes often wobble side to side under their own weight. Should you be a size King or Queen, these are more likely to be the dildo for you, though a number of companies have introduced realistic toys in smaller and less girth sizes. Something like the 6 inch or 8 inch Crystal Jellies from Doc Johnson are well sized at a diameter of 1.5 inches. Wanna go a bit thicker? The Ballsy Super Cocks in White and Black are 9 inches with a 2 inch diameter or realistic fun without breaking the bank. Think that you’d like to bump the girth up another level? Check out the Beer Can Cock made from realistic cyberskin. This toy measures 6.5 inches in length and a whopping 2.5 inches in girth. Woah Momma.
If the phallic look isn’t something you are looking for, or if your purchase is more G-Spot oriented, there are many excellent options open to you. The purple Acute dildo is a slightly curved 5 inches in length with an easy 1 inch diameter that is comfortable for most people. Also this toy is made from medical grade silicone, the longest lasting of toy materials for a lifetime of use. Like the smaller diameter but want a little extra length? Take a peek at the Silk Large, which has the same 1 inch girth but is 6 inches in length. Should those two look good in the size arena but you’re a fan of some extra texturing to the shaft, here are two awesome options. First the Jelly Crystal Passion G-Spot is 6 inches by 1.5 inches, curved for G-spot stimulation and has added raised nodes to take your toy experience up a level. Finally, the Chamer from Tantus Silicone measures in at 6.5 inches in length and a girth that ranges between .875 of an inch to 1.25 inches along it’s 4 ripples. This toy can look intimidating to some, but virtually every person who uses it quickly becomes a convert. The dynamic ripples make insertion and use incredibly stimulating, and the bulbous curved head makes finding and hitting the G-spot a breeze.
What ever dildo you choose, a few notes on care and cleaning of your toy. Unless your dildo is made from silicone or glass it contains small pores that can trap lubricants and bacteria from the body, so we always recommend using a condom like the Trojan Ultra Thin over your toy to prolong it’s lifetime and protect you from infection. Even with the use of a condom you will still want to spray your toy down with some Toy Cleaner before and after each use. Also store your toys in a temperature controlled area out of direct sunlight, and keep toys of different colors or materials from resting against each other in storage. Occasionally different materials can interact with each other causing weeping or discoloration. If at any time your toy changes density, shape or color - this is a sign that it is time to retire old faithful. Don’t worry though, when one toy goes out to pasture it means it’s the perfect time to try something new.
