Maggie Gyllenhaal Discovers A Vibrator In “Hysteria”

Jessica WakemanAugust 18, 2011 //

The time before the invention of the vibrator is a dark period of world history which I prefer not to think about. But imagine, ladies, if you will, a period when all of a woman’s problems were attributed to “hysteria,” a vague pathological affliction which doctors found could best be cured by applying pressure to a woman’s most delicate regions. A suffering woman could be relieved of her hysteria by hand, of course, but the world needed a device to get the job done more quickly. “Hysteria” premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival next month and stars Hugh Dancy as a young doctor in Victorian England and Maggie Gyllenhaal as his boss’s daughter, who knows at the root of all these hysterics is a need for pleasure. God bless electricity, that’s all I have to say. [YouTube] Keep reading »

8 Must-Haves For The Sex Toy Novice
My boyfriend and I are visiting a sex shop this weekend in an effort to take our love life to the next level. I bought a vibrator online once, used it a few times, lost interest, and started using my fingers again. Other than that, I am basically a sex toy virgin. And so is he. But we want to change that. I am determined for us to step into that sex shop as novices and walk out buzzing, vibrating, lubed up pros. Or at least on our way to becoming pros. I did some research, asked around, and made my sexy wish list. After the jump, some user-friendly items to get our toy life started. Your suggestions are more than welcome.

Sex Toy Test Drive: Booty Parlor’s Lipstick Vibrator

Jessica WakemanMarch 4, 2011 //

When a girl’s down, she finds out who’s got her back! I’ve got a friend in Booty Parlor, the sex toy company: after I stupidly left one of my vibrators behind in my old apartment after a breakup, they sent me a new vibe in the mail, stat! And it wasn’t a regular old dildo-style vibe either! Booty Parlor sent me a Liptrik vibrator, the exact shape, size, and appearance of a red lipstick. Keep reading »

I’m Addicted To My Vibrator

YourTango.comNovember 20, 2010 //

It wasn’t meant to go this way.

It was meant to be a fun assignment. A lot of women would dream of being asked to test drive every vibrator on the market and write about their experience for Playboy. And while it wasn’t something my parents were going to be bragging about—or even admitting knowledge of—anytime soon, I loved the idea of covering the sex business from a first-person perspective without having to sell myself or make porn. Almost as an afterthought, it occurred to me that the research might also be informative. Keep reading »

It’s A Vibrator. It’s A Chess Set. No, It’s A Vibrator Chess Set.

Susannah BreslinOctober 19, 2010 //

Finally! My endless days of praying for that vibrator chess set of my dreams are over. Aruliden has created a very chic and very kinky chess set that replaces the usual queen, bishop, and pawn with discreet black vibrators. Apparently, the knight is shaped like anal beads. My word. Will wonders never cease? Of course, this vibrator chess set isn’t for just any chess player. It’s only for the discriminating, oversexed chess enthusiast. Ergo, the vibes have gold detailing, and the whole set sells for a mere … $7,000. Dang! Does this mean I won’t be getting one for Christmas? Oh, dear. [Co.Design] Keep reading »

TV Commercials Hawk Trojan Tri-Phoria Vibrators But Can’t Call It A Vibrator

Susannah BreslinSeptember 28, 2010 //

For years, adult toy makers have been unable to sell their wares on TV commercials, but a new ad from Trojan featuring the company’s Tri-Phoria vibrator has made it on TV — by not saying the word “vibrator.” Instead, the unseen, boxed tool is referred to as “three massagers in one” that may result in “screams of ecstasy, curled toes, a sudden glow, and intense waves of pleasure.” The commercial doesn’t run only in the wee hours either, but, for example, during the day and early evening on Comedy Central during “The Daily Show.” Some — surely, sex toy sellers among them — may see the ad as “progress,” but it seems silly that in this day and age a vibrator is still taboo. Hey, it’s just a “personal massager.” [NY Times]

Sex With Steph: How Do I Use Sex Toys With My Boyfriend?

Stephanie AuteriJuly 15, 2010 //

Hi Steph! I just started dating a guy like a month ago. One night in bed he mentioned that he would be open to using sex toys. I love my toys as much as the next girl, but I’m afraid my rabbit would be intimidating since it is bigger than he is. I have never been with a guy who was open to using sex toys during sex…so I am in uncharted territory here. Any thoughts or advice? – SexToyClueless

Sex With Steph: My Boyfriend Has A Low Sex Drive

Stephanie AuteriJuly 1, 2010 //

My boyfriend of over a year has lost almost all of his sex drive. I’ve tried the typical methods (lingerie, porn, alcohol, sexy messages/talk, etc.) to get him interested in sex and have had less than a 20 percent success rate (which results in a 35 percent erection, at best). He insists that there’s no unresolved issues or problems and that the interest is there but physical desire is not. In spite of his lack of interest in sex, my libido is through the roof and out of control. The question isn’t whether or not to cheat or leave — it’s how can I get my guy’s battery recharged??? — Female with blue balls

A Sex Toy Store For Muslims Only

Susannah BreslinApril 6, 2010 //

Frankly, I don’t know if there are sex toy — er, “marital aid” — stores out there just for Christians or just for the Jewish, but there is one just for Muslims. The Amsterdam-based business is called El Asira, and it was created by Abdelaziz Aouragh, a 29-year-old Dutch-Moroccan orthodox Muslim who, one imagines, looked into the future and decided the world’s “first halal sex shop” promised to be the next big thing. According to Aouragh, who opened the store late last month, the outlet has been sanctioned by fatwa thanks to a Saudi sheik, so long as the products — lube, condoms, sexual stimulants — are used within the context of marriage and are animal fat-free. In the spirit of discretion, the site features no provocative pictures of hot-and-bothered men and women or racy language, and they don’t sell anything battery-operated. And Aouragh claims part of his mission is transforming the image of Muslim women. “The image of women in the kitchen, submissive, dressed in a burkah isn’t true,” he says. “Our shop puts the woman at the centre of things.” Sadly, the site is temporary offline. Observant Muslims will have to wait a little longer for their Islamic sex shop. [True/Slant] Keep reading »
