Buy Your Own Mr. Big

Don’t Steal Sex Toys From An Ex

A man reportedly broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home and stole the sex toys he had bought for her birthday present when they were together. After making off with the lingerie, gauntlets, shackles, and whip, Paul Ashcroft is said to have sent Claire Bainbridge a text message telling her to check her drawers. She discovered that the items were missing, and two days later they were recovered in Ashcroft’s residence. The judge sentenced him to a two-year conditional discharge, in addition to paying court costs. “This was pretty disgraceful behavior,” the judge said. “There is no excuse for doing what you did in stealing those items. I trust that the relationship has now come to an end. I have been told…each of you now has a fresh relationship. I suggest you concentrate on that.” [News Guardian, U.K.] Keep reading »

Talk Sex Gets Finished Off

Let’s talk about sex, baby — one last time. Sue Johanson, the sweetest little grandma with the dirtiest big mouth, hosts the well-loved question and answer program Talk Sex With Sue Johanson on Oxygen. After six seasons, which aired in five languages and in 20 countries, the show is getting a happy ending with this Sunday’s episode — a sex toy special. But it sounds like a case of premature ejaculation to us! Although Sue will still answer your burning questions via the Oxygen website, we will certainly miss our weekly date with the septuagenerian sexpert. [TV Guide] Keep reading »

Joanna Kozlowska is in the hospital after an incident involving her homemade sex toy, fashioned from a food mixer, and the bathtub. Don’t make me spell it out.

Undercover Lovers

Anyone who has ever had to explain their sex toys to a snooping family member, friend, or airport security officer, can tell you, it’s a bit awkward. You’re fumbling for excuses like I Love Lucy because you have some explainin’ to do. But how do you really verbalize why you need a hot pink rabbit? Finally, there are ceramic sex toys so discreet, they probably even match your grandmother’s china. [Cool Hunting]

The Nookie Know-It-All: Your Sexual Tool Kit

My husband came into the relationship with some fun sex toys, but after awhile, I decided it was a little weird to play with toys someone else had used. Any advice on how to build a sex toy starter kit I can call my own? — Using Used Goods, Los Angeles, CA

After awhile??? So you’re saying you actually used something that was INSIDE another woman? Sorry for the caps and itals, but I have a hard enough time using the same bar of soap with my roommate, let alone using a toy that was in another girl’s vag. Considering our hygienic difference, you might not be into the same sex toys I’d be into (anal beads covered with Saran Wrap). But, on the off chance you’re not super freaky, I’ve got some good pointers for you. Keep reading »

The Daily Squeeze: SATC Vacays, Sex Toys, And Housing In Paris

  • A travel company plans to take advantage of the May 30 release of the Sex and the City movie by offering theme vacations, which will cost $15,000 to $24,000 for a four-day tour. Save your money, people. If you want to go to Saks, Barneys, Tiffany, and Patricia Field, we’d be happy to give you the addresses. [Reuters]
  • Some French females are bartering for housing with sex. [The Times, U.K.]
  • Be careful what sex toys you purchase, because the industry is largely unregulated (ever wonder why it says “novelty product” on the packaging?) Some materials, like plastic or latex, are porous and can’t be properly sterilized. Plus, phthalates, a chemical often added to plastics to make them more flexible, can leach out over time and be absorbed through the body’s mucus membranes. Stick to silicone.

    The Nookie Know-It-All: Spicing It Up In The Sack

    “Lots of things about my relationship are great, but the sex is vanilla — my boyfriend is weirded out by my collection of sex toys, and isn’t willing to experiment. What should I do?” — In Need Of Spice, New Orleans, LA

    I think this depends on what kind of toys you have. If your collection is filled with gag-balls and strap-ons, I can’t say I blame your boyfriend for feeling uneasy. On the other hand, if all you want to do is lock him to the bed with furry pink handcuffs, there’s some room to negotiate.
