The west has always had a fascination with the east. And when it comes to sex the mysteries of the orient, perceived or real have always had an allure that is both exciting, mysterious and often a little taboo – mainly because until recently our cultures were so separate and so little was known about one by the other.
Many people’s first perceptions of sexual literature is of course the Kama Sutra. Even though I’d never seen it until my late teens one mention of the ancient Indian sex manual would have my mind racing and it was always a shorthand for exotic sex with exciting oriental girls on the whole. If not that very open minded local women. It’s no wonder therefore that one of the best known brands of massage oils and sensual products is Kama Sutra. It’s like having a brand image already made for you by from the accumulated knowledge of centuries of Indian love making.
There are of course the temptations and mysteries of certain eastern traditions like the Japanese geisha. A concept that I for one don’t understand not having lived in the culture, the Geisha have evolved in Japan to provide “services” for Japanese men. To western eyes this has always been seen as an exotic form of prostitution, though I’m sure it’s more subtle than this from what I have read. Perhaps someone could enlighten me? However the western view has lead to toys like this sex doll that is dressed in a Geisha outfit, ready for you to undress and fuck.
Both of the above examples of our western views on the east and its sexuality are long-standing. Since Japan in particular has opened up to the west and exported its art as films and books what we know about Japanese sexuality has increased. We now know that it is both more intense and more different from our Western sexuality than we could possibly imagine. Simultaneously Japanese culture now permeates our lives through cartoons, art and fashion making what was once alien now familiar and easy to accept.
There is a selection of love dolls available, posed differently like this one, kneeling, this in a doggie pose or this more conventional sex doll. What they all have in common is that rather than try to emulate a generic female form, or model themselves on a porn star like western sex dolls they are styled as Anime/Manga characters.
This love pillow takes that separation from the actual female form a step further by simply being printed with the Manga character and having five locations into which you slip the supplied masturbator.
Taking things a step further away from real women and abstracting masturbation a little more you can indulge in a range of Anime themed masturbators with names like Yozakura, Sizuru, Suzumiya and Anime First Love. Each is different but they all share two characteristics; They bear little or no physical similarity to female genitalia and come in a box covered in Manga illustrations and apparently Japanese script. I say apparently because I don’t read much Japanese.
How far we have come, eh? From half-understood glimpses of ancient Indian erotic texts to an invasion of Japanese Sex Toys.

Why use one sex toy when you could use two? There are times when one sex toy will deliver all the satisfaction you need but occasionally you will find that using two together will make life a lot more fun.
One of the combinations that has been promoted recently is the use of a masturbator and an anal sex toy. So for example you could use a masturbator like this anime themed masturbator and an anal toy like the Scoprion’s Tail prostate massager. Neither are hugely expensive and together they can make for a great experience. Each of these sex toys used on their own are great fun, but together they make an indulgent treat for you to enjoy.
So what other sex toys can be paired up?
Well for you girls why not try something that we all know you enjoy? Nipple fun. You don’t have to buy a set of extreme nipple clamps, these nipple clamps with vibrating bullets are fully adjustable so you feel the buzz without the pinch … unless that’s what you want because they are fully adjustable. And with the nipple clamps how about a vibrator to get those juices flowing? You can see what I’m getting at here. Double the thrill and quadruple the possibilities as you tune your experience to maximise the pleasure.
Now, if you’re one of those ladies who likes a bit of double stimulation, and I’m not talking anal in this case, how about this. Take a simple vibrator such as this one, inexpensive and effective, then combine it with a clitoral stimulator such as this one. You might ask “Why not use a rabbit vibe?” of course you could but for variety or because for some women rabbits don’t quite his the spot using two vibrators can be the perfect way to reach orgasm time and time again. All women are different and the relative position of your pleasure zones means that not all rabbit vibrators work for all women and some women find that using two separate vibrators is the only way to get clitoral and vaginal stimulation. Even if it isn’t two vibes give you much more control …
If you girls are into anal and vaginal penetration then pick a couple of suitable toys like this flower power rabbit vibrator and this butt plug. In fact I suppose in this case you will be getting three types of stimulation, anal, vaginal and clitoral. Don’t you dare tell me that isn’t appealing. Explore the possibilities and of course when you are enjoying anal play you need some lube, don’t forget that!
The fun doesn’t have to stop when you are away from home. One of the best ways to take the fun with you, whether it’s on holiday or on a night out is with a discrete vibe. What could be more discrete than this lipstick vibrator. Even if it falls out of your purse you won’t be embarrassed. And if you want a little zing, pair it up with something like this arousal cream to zing things up.
I hope this has given you some ideas about how you can increase the possibilities from your sex toys. If you already have a favourite vibe why not combine it with a new sex toy and give your old toy a new lease of life.

We have reached that time of year again. The wedding season. I was reminded of it when I heard a peel of the church bells this weekend drift across the valley.
It’s every little girls dream to one day be a bridesmaid and get to wear the second to best outfit on the big day. For me I didn’t get chance until a few years ago, when I was asked to be…Matron of Honour.
Time had passed and I was now categorised as a matron rather than a bridesmaid. My bridesmaid years were over. *Sob* No, it was an honour to be MOH at my two best friends’ wedding.
We had all met up through work and were very close. But not quite as close as I would have liked. Lol She was a good looking, leggy brunette who I would most certainly have loved to entertain and he was a good looking hunk.
It’s traditional for the bride and groom to be separate the night before the wedding, so I was invited over to keep her company at her father in laws house. Instead of spending the evening chatting we should have been playing games.
The best part of the evening is that I got to share a double bed with her. I could have massaged her back with this relaxing her ready for my seduction. Once her muscles were starting to relax, I could have given her a manual massage with a little fragrant massage oil like these.
And when she felt comfortable with me touching her, I would have loved to try this cute little clit vibe out on her, gently caressing her clitoris, easing her in to submission.
When things got a little more heated I could take hold of my rabbit vibrator and give her a good workout. Starting on the slow rabbit only setting and building up the excitement until she is succumbing to the delights of the rotating beaded shaft massaging her vaginal walls. I’m driving myself crazy just thinking about the possibilities.
Hold on a moment I just need to get something…
And as the newly married couple celebrate downstairs in the dining hall I could shoot upstairs to their room and sprinkle these rose fragranced petals on to their bed. As they enter the room the heady fragrance would fill their noses and entice them to the soft, well sprung bed.
On the bedside table there is a little surprise for later. They are staying in the room until Monday morning when they leave for their flight to somewhere exotic. I can’t remember where they went now. Yes, the surprise is this weekender kit which will get them in the mood for some bedtime fun and games.
All the guests bar a couple hanging around at the bar have now left for the evening and the newly wedded couple make their way to their room. Opening the door they are greeted by those wonderful fragranced rose petals.
They spot the Weekender Kit and decide to give that a try later. Having spent all day entertaining guests and smiling constantly it’s now their time. And they are in the mood for a little light bondage play. Or at least he is, she doesn’t know it yet.
He makes his way to the drawers he has been given for his clothing and retrieves a box. She cranes her neck to see what he has in his hands. And she smiles as she discovers it’s the Sportsheets Tie The Knot Kit.
Very gently he takes each wrist in turn and secures her to the bed head. He repeats the process with her feet and now she is at his mercy. Blindfolded and expectant she lays waiting for his next move.
He takes hold of the Edible Lovers Body Pen and starts to write a sensual note on her stomach. It reads…

When it comes to sex toy testing the majority of my reviews take place in the comfort of the bedroom where I have a soft mattress to lay on and a DVD player to accompany my dalliances with some porn. I sometimes test toys whilst I’m sat at my desk working to give me a little light relief and time to think, orgasms relax me and open up my thought processes.
But I never really test things in the bathroom, in particular the bath because I’m more of a shower person these days. Languishing in a bath takes far too long for me because I keep topping up with hot water until I look like a prune. Lol
And with the return of the heatwave over here it’s far easier and cooler to take a tepid shower. So I thought I would investigate potential companions for a bit of wet and wild fun. A word of warning, some toys are water resistant rather than waterproof so always check the instructions before submerging them in bath water.
There are several “sex aids” designed for use in the shower which are variations on the theme of handles which assist balance in the shower and there is even a bath sponge which harbours a bullet for a bit of soapy vibratory fun but I’ve been looking at other options…
Baths tend to relax me and make me horny but tired, that is until I emerge from the suds and feel invigorated and ready to go. Why not prolong that feeling of relaxation and well being by asking your partner to give you a power massage with this Winachi massager it will rub all your cares away and get you in the zone for some lurving.
Why not indulge yourself in a warm bath or shower and enjoy throbbing internal vibrations you don’t get with a cock. Simply slip this remote controlled bullet inside and nobody but you will know just how much bath time fun you can have. This Waterproof Bullet will provide you with tireless fun at the touch of a finger. Or why not let your partner take control.
Why not slip some love eggs inside to stimulate and arouse your sexual beast. Simply slip them inside and enjoy the internal vibrations as they ripple through you. With the easy extraction handle you won’t be trying to grasp at a wet cord which will not allow you to take purchase. These discreet and easy to use love eggs are perfect for some bath time fun.
When the weather is hot like it is now or if you are fortunate enough to live in a hot climate, you may wish to indulge yourself with chillable toys. Metal and glass toys are best for conducting either heat or cold. This glass vibrator with stimulating ridges and nodules looks just like the right kind of vibe to get my juices flowing and as well as being waterproof can be chilled in the fridge for a bit of summer lurve.
If shallow vaginal stimulation is your thing then you need to give the Twirl Mini Vibrator a try. It provides powerful, discreet and quiet vibration to satisfy your needs. And best of all it arrives on your doorstep ready to use with batteries already loaded, simply remove the isolating paper and away you go. Instant pleasure and stimulation without mechanical complications.
How do you like your rabbit? That’s an interesting question… I enjoy the feeling of someone or some thing thrusting in and out of me. It feels more like the act. With this thrusting rabbit you are assured of a realistic…I was trying to be all poetic and stuff and decided not to bother…fucking. Lol The Thrusting Jack Rabbit is sure to hit the spot again and again.
You may be in the mood for a simple dose of clitoral stimulation with this beautifully designed silicone vibrator. Not only does it offer quiet multispeed vibrations which will ease away your troubles but the tip of this silicone vibrator works wonders on your clitoris with its curved tip.
If it’s a little bit of three way fun you may wish to try the Jessica Rabbit Dual Stimulator. You get to enjoy the delights of full vaginal penetration alone with a little anal and clitoral play via the soft jelly rabbit ears which will pulse and vibrate you in to submission. Why not give the Jessica Rabbit Dual Stimulator a run for it’s money you will be carrots in.
For me personally there is no better vibrator than one which has you singing. And for me the language of lurve starts right at the g-spot. I enjoy the feeling of being penetrated but the stimulation I receive from g-spot enlivenment is unequalled. This vibrator is designed specifically to engage our g-spot and provide endless pleasure. Why not give the G-spot Caress the chance to envelope you in pleasure.
And if you are luck enough to have a fellow female partner to engage with then…well, why are you still reading and not indulging your wildest dreams?
There are many toys on the market for gay couples that it’s hard to choose one which stands out as both useful and effective at bringing off a girl. This toy seems to hit the spot as regards penetration and power. Give this strapless strap-on a try, I’m sure you will have your partner panting with baited breath. :)

I remember back in the day that there was only one choice available on the market when it came to lube and that was good old KY Jelly. No stimulating flavours or effects, just plain old water based lube presented in a very unattractive tube. In fact until recently I don’t think the packaging changed much.
Now the range of products on the market is vast and you can get a lube to suit just about every need or occasion. I have selected just a few of the lines available out there, each with a specific duty to perform to give you an idea of their specific uses.
Having just commented that KY don’t seem to have moved on I just found this his and hers set of lubricants which sound like a good idea and come in very stylish bottles. You could sit them next to each other in the bathroom with your toothbrushes. I also like the implication that both parties indulge in play.
It can be hard deciding exactly which lube you would like to purchase because of the vast range available as I mentioned earlier. But I just spotted this sampler set of sachets which gives you the opportunity to test 5 of their speciality lubes not just once but twice before you invest in a bottle. Great idea and so much fun testing them all out.
As I mentioned earlier, lubes can add to the sensual moments you and your partner share or can be used solo for a bit of self pleasure. Why not add to the moment by selecting a warming one like this which will aid relaxation and as it warm s on contact with your skin.
You could try a lubricant which will help you get in the mood with the clever use of herbs like yohimbe and goatweed. These ingredients contain naturally occurring (apparently) aphrodisiac properties which may soon have you in the mood for a little fun. Why not give this one a try.
Or for a more invigorating experience you may wish to try a lube which will make your skin tingle and feel alive, like this one. Think just how surprised your partner will be when they start to tingle as they enter you. Electrifying! Sorry I came over all “Grease” just then. Lol
There are also lubes which are created not just carry out their intended function of reducing friction but to be lickable. You now don’t have to be concerned about going down on your partner to be greeted by a thoroughly disgusting tasting lube. There are some deliciously flavoured ones out there just like this cherry flavoured one Or if you’re not in to giving oral it could change the way you look at things…
If you are needing a lube which will endure a rather lengthy session, can be used in the bath or will resist drying out in warm weather you will be well advised to try a silicone lube like this one But make sure you don’t use it with silicone toys or condoms as it can react. Glass, metal and wooden toys will be fine when used with silicone based lubes.
If you wish to give anal sex a try you will require a lubricant with staying properties and a thicker consistency, remember the colon doesn’t self lubricate so more assistance is required. There are many lubes specifically developed for this kind of usage including this one. Always make sure you use copious amounts of both lubricant and time, anal should never be rushed especially when you are a newbie.
To ensure that you liberally apply anal lubricant just where you need it most there are devices which enable you to get the lubricant right where it is needed. What you need is a lube syringe which will facilitate deep internal lubrication which can sometimes be difficult to achieve. With this lube syringe you know that your lubricant will hit the spot.
And finally for the novelty aspect and because I’ve never tried it, you could try using a foaming lube. I’ve never used it but it looks like fun. I may have to get some for review and cover Alex in it. This looks like a good one to try.
And as a final thought on lubricants, during hot spells why not try cooling them down in your fridge.

I like to interact with my readership and give them chance to be involved in this site and the posts we write. Today I asked my friends on my social networking site to suggest possible post themes for me to write about and this suggestion came top of my list.
“The world cup’s on you ain’t gonna get any till July!” Thanks Franc for the inspiration for this post.
What a great title and theme for a post on how we girls are expected to keep ourselves happy over the coming weeks whilst the world cup is being played out. While our men folk sit in front of the television for endless hours we need something to keep us amused and happy.
So I have created the A Girls World Cup Survival Guide. Lol I have compiled a list of my favourite toys, ones which rocked my world and cover a broad range of prices for the pocket. Remember the most effective toys aren’t always the most expensive.
Come with me in to Toyland and enjoy a little self pleasure, sisters are doing for themselves. Lol
Despite being such and open minded and sexually active girl I didn’t actually discover the delights of a clitoral orgasm until about 4 years ago when quite by chance Alex managed to bring me off on my clit with his finger. And I haven’t looked back since, I find the orgasms it gives me are unlike any other. They have more power and can quite literally render me speechless.
I’ve also discovered a great way to bring yourself off by turning your finger in to a vibrator using this clever little toy. The Finger Tingler simply slips over your frigging finger and adds a bit of buzz to your masturbation.
If you prefer mechanical stimulation rather than digital play I found the Cherry Blossom Nibbler to be an excellent choice. It has a twist speed control built in to the base to provide just the right level of stimulation and it is so quiet in operation nobody would know about playtime but you.
I’m living proof that you can’t dismiss a product until you’ve tried it at least once. The very thought of using a pussy pump didn’t appeal to me at all. They look more like instruments of torture than delight. Lol But just how wrong was I. I tested and reviewed this one around this time last year and have used it many times since. To give you an idea how it feels, imagine your partner taking your labia majora in to their mouth and gently sucking on you. Yes, it feels great and no other toy can give you that enjoyable encounter.
Rabbit vibrators are very popular, due in part to being featured in Sex And The City recently when I a revival in rabbit vibrators occurred. Well things have moved on and rabbit vibes don’t have to look…like rabbit vibrators any more. The stylish Lelo Ina proved this and effectively arouses you with a modern twist.
I’m still fairly new when it comes to anal. It’s a practice which requires a lot of trust, patience and time to perfect and I’m still only on the first rungs of that ladder. I find I enjoy it best when I’m totally relaxed which also happens to be when I’m being fucked. Because I’m still learning I prefer to use toys which are petite and unchallenging and the Bootie Butt Plug is the perfect example of this, it’s small and comfortable to wear for a bit of DP action.
But if it’s g-spot stimulation you are looking for then these toys fit the bill perfectly. The most inexpensive but effective choice is the Cupids G-spot Smoothie vibrator. I found the conductivity along the firm shaft is excellent and the shape hit my g-spot instantly and it was also quiet in operation which allow you a little stealth pleasure, or is that self pleasure.
Not all of us ladies are configured the same and our pleasure zones can be situated differently due to factors like height so the next g-spot vibrator will be of interest to you, especially if you are petite lady. This vibrator hides a flexible spine so you can bend the shaft to fit you internally. An excellent idea and very effective.
And finally the beautifully designed g-spotter which is both ergonomically designed and features easy to reach and operate controls. The Fun Factory Delight. This vibrator was revolutionary when it first appeared on the scene because it is rechargeable and easy to operate with its controls mounted upon its royal curve. Still a winner with me as it hits the spot every time.
And girls don’t forget that your vibe won’t say no, fall asleep and goes on and on and…

Leather is one of the most sensually arousing materials for Suze and me. We love the texture and the scent of leather. So it’s no surprise that as we started to explore our sexuality together we uncovered aspects to ourselves that our previous relationships had failed to reveal.
Take something as simple as a little light restraint. We tried it with scarves and some rather thin 1980s leather ties I had lying around. It’s a good job they were out of fashion because when Suze tied me up and began to tease me I was so aroused that I wrenched my wrists apart, snapping the ties, then jumping on her bones. What I really needed were some restraints like these. Made for the job, so they are comfortable (unless you struggle too much) and strong enough so you can struggle and writhe without damaging them or you.
For something a little more light-hearted in the cuffs department you can try some of these. They are soft, less intimidating than the leather cuffs mentioned above and make a great entry point into restraint and light BDSM for those of you wanting to experiment together for the first time.
I suppose it shows how hardcore we are getting when we look at this sort of thing. And think “Hmm, nice travel bag!” LOL It’s full of things to keep a couple occupied at home or away and unless you have it searched by customs the perfect hand luggage too *wicked grin*
BDSM is about the sensuality of restraint and if you like, pain. To get just the right balance between tease and Ouch! You need to choose the right tools.
One favourite is a crop such as this, designed to give a short, sharp correction to your partner (or ride you decide!) a skilful wielder can administer just the right amount of stinging stimulation to drive you both wild.
If a heart shaped crop is a bit girly for you how about this whip. In fact we find it’s better to have a number of implements to hand because the amount and type of sensation required to turn your subjugated lover on will vary with both your moods. Each whip or flogger has its own character, as you investigate this sort of sensory play you will acquire favourites, but a little variety is always welcome.
What next? Well if you get really serious about restraint you can invest in one of the many restraint kits available. They range from the soft and girly like this restraint set.
To the serious and heavy duty like this set of bondage restraints. However most of the sets are not as industrial strength as buying individual items of bondage equipment.
Ultimately you might want to try some of these blindfolds and masks which start out at the delicate and soft but end, well as extreme as you want to go. And only you will know how extreme that is.

It’s true what they say about Brits never being happier than when they are complaining about the weather. When it’s raining and dull we moan and now that the sun is shining and we are having what appears to be a mini heatwave here, we are winging that it’s too hot. Lol
I love the sun and the golden light it casts on everything it makes you feel cheerful but I don’t like sun bathing. I’m one of life’s doers and sitting there just prostrating yourself to the sun god doesn’t do it for me.
Which is why I’ve been surfing my favourite toy site to find ways to make sex fun and cool during a heatwave. It’s been so hot at night in the bedroom we’ve had the pedestal fan blowing over us while doing the do but you could also try some of these naughty goodies. ;0
Not only has the weather been heating up so have I, my cold started about 5 days ago and has taken me through a range of symptoms including pyrexia. Alex stuck his cock in me and complained that my pussy was burning him it was that hot in there. Now if he had been wearing one of these it would have protected and cooled him down at the same time.
Girls we can help bring out own temperature by playing with the right type of toys, this glass dildo can be chilled in the fridge to make it fun to use when it’s hot. Just don’t freeze it, can you imagine the discomfort if it should stick to your pussy lips. Ooooh, I just made myself shudder then.
Or if you like your chilled glass with motion you could select a vibrator like this one with it’s ridges and glass nubs you will be certain to enjoy the experience. And you won’t get overheated trying to operate the controls because it’s a single push button mounted in the base.
Alternatively you may like something slick, smooth and metal to play with and just like the glass vibrators you can easily chill your aluminium vibrator in the refrigerator for a few minutes before play. Or if you can’t wait hold it under the running cold tap for a few seconds.
Things can get a bit dry during the hot weather too. Personally I find that having the fan blowing over me soon dries out the natural moisture between my legs and fucking with dry lips is very uncomfortable, take it from me. So you could try using some of this tingly minty nipple and clit gel to give you a natural cool buzz.
But let’s not forget about the guys they would appreciate some cooling naughty fun too. You could try this metal cock ring which should chill nicely in the fridge and give him a sexy thrill when you slip it on to the base of his hot cock. As he pushes deep in to you the cold ring will make contact with your hot pussy and help keep you both cool.
