Jackin’ Good Time by Sex Pistil

Trust me guys, once you go Jack Jelly, you will never want to go back. Its a non-oily, self warming lubricant, which feels like your very own precum. There are so many pros I don’t know where to start.

From Under the Rock

newlyinclined — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:30:14 +0000

Whew! I’m back! Sorry that took so long. China…was a bit more difficult to navigate than I had initially thought when it came to the Internet…if it didn’t load, it didn’t load properly and unfortunately WordPress was one of the sites that suffered for me.

Back State-side though and can I tell you that I’ve tried something new already since coming here.

I received my nJoy Pure Wand just a few days before I left for China and decided to leave it in the States while I was gone–try it when I come back.

So that’s exactly what I did.

It’ll take a few more sessions before I actually write something about it (like the many sessions I’ve had with my G-Ki since not being able to actually write about it in China). And like with G-Ki, I hope I’ll come to a conclusive response.

My first response so far though: nJoy Pure Wand…not explosive, but great in an understated way….will this be exactly what it turns out to be? We’ll see as time goes on! But as time goes on, let’s hope that I get my G-Ki review up soon! I have quite a bit to say about it!

G-Ki by OnIntimacy

Yup, this little guy from Babeland will find your g-spot, and you will be all “this rocks” and then you will have a g-spot orgasm. Just like that. Bazam. At first I thought of G-Ki as sounding like “cheeky,” which was cute. Now I think of it as the G-Key- the key to a bajillion g-spot orgasms.

Note: Just like last week it’s humor in reviews that really gets me, humor and a strong writer’s voice, and this review has both. Enjoy!

Pirates Pendant Vibe by OnIntimacy

I was skeptical. I like my bullet vibes, but rarely happen upon an occasion in which it would be helpful to have one disguised as jewelry. I had a lipstick vibe once in college. I left it in my boyfriend’s dorm and one of his unsuspecting housemates wanted to see what color lipstick I wore. Long story short, we had trouble making eye contact with each other for a while.

Note: I read enough (read: so many) reviews every week to know it’s the little things that really make a review, add that little something extra and it will make your review stand out, and that’s how this one is. What really tipped me over the edge was the corny joke embedded in the image captions and a link to the Top 10 Pirate Pick-up Lines. You know you want to go look.

Wahl of Orgasms by Quizzical Pussy

People come up to me all the time and say, “Quizzical Pussy, I was so entirely sorry to learn of the demise of your Jack Rabbit.”

At this point I always give my little funereal grimace/smile that I practiced when all my grandparents were dying off; I nod gravely. “Thank you for being here. It means so much to the family.”

Big Book of Sex Toys: Not as Big as I Thought–but Packed!

newlyinclined — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 07:16:30 +0000

I guess this is another example of me overestimating how large something is (there will be *another* example of me mistaking size coming up later…ohmibod you don’t even know).

Even though the Big Book of Sex Toys by Tristan Taormino (published in 2009) wasn’t as big as I had imagined it. This book is still jam packed with information about toys in general and even specific toys. All of this is printed on thick, slightly matte, almost glossy paper.

Front Cover: Yes...I got a defective book. Had it from a different vendor. The binding is upsidedown. Now I can really read a book upsidedown!

Back Cover: See pretty small pics!

Note: if you’re trying to keep a secret with your sex toys…let me tell you now that this book is in no way discrete. The cover is made up of the title: The Big Book of Sex Toys all over its front–spelled out with the aid of, you guessed it, sex toys. It’s a very pretty cover, don’t get me wrong. Just not something to lounge around reading when there are people in the house–they might ask what’s going on and you’re going to have to choose between leaving the book open or closing it. Both of which aren’t extremely helpful (personal experience?). This leads us to the next point:

This book is filled will full color photographs of toys and couples using the toys (barely clad or artfully posed to block out the naughty bits–though there are breasts everywhere). While pretty, the pictures are of only heterosexual couples with a certain body type: all the females slim (or really really skinny) and the males trim and muscular. I also found that there were more than a few repeats of the same photo used throughout the book. So they’re not all unique pictures, which I found a little disappointing.

They’re all very pretty and mainstream photos, but they can be actually very useful, for Tristan Taormino doesn’t only talk about toys and what they’re used for, and how they work, but she also adds tips on how to use certain toys in certain positions. These tips are helpfully illustrated by the couples in the pretty pictures–that are on nearly every other page of the book. If it’s not half-naked people, it’s a toy. I’d actually say it’s safer with the pictures of the toys, especially if it’s a discreet toy.

Inside the Book

(What I did was shut the book and turn to the back cover–which is covered in small summary print framed with small pictures of different sex toys–and hoped with everything that other people’s eyesight weren’t that good at the moment…)

Taormino’s book is arranged in the following chapters (description in parentheses): The Introduction (sex toys can be fun and shouldn’t be seen as a threat!); Sexual Anatomy (A brief guide to women and men’s genitalia and anal regions); Sex Toys (Why sex toys are good and what they’re good for) ; Shopping (How and where to buy your sex toys from a good sex toy shop); Not All Sex Toys are Created Equal (A guide on sex toy materials); All About Vibrators (Pretty much as it says, an introduction to all the different sorts of vibes out there); Bullets, Eggs, and Bunnies (as stated); Power Up (plugged-in vibes/massagers and the Eroscillator); Look Ma, No Hands (Wearable/hands-off vibes); Work Your Way In with Insertable Vibrators (Different sorts of insertable vibes); Twice as Nice (going into dual action vibe territory); High-Tech and Luxury Vibrators (again as stated) ; Pleasure for Him (all about sleeves! Also pumps!); All You Ever Wanted to Know About Cock Rings (;D); Delicious Dildos and Wonderful Wands (about and the differences between a dildo and a wand–this one taught me a bit); Anal Pleasure (from anal beads to plugs to safety); Get Ready for the Ride of Your Life (Taormino talks about strap-ons and what to us in them and about the different harnesses); Ignite Your Senses with Sensation Products and Toys (Sensations from ticklers to massage candles, paint, the edible stuff, and liquid latex!); Tie Her Up, Tie Him Down (Introduction to Bondage, the trust and planning that goes with it, and the restraints you can choose from); Crack the Whip! (We’re going into BDSM territory); Grown-up Swing (Fun with positioning swings as well as wedges and pillows); Wetter is Better (All sorts of lubrications and what toys they should be used with); Toy Care, Cleaning, and Safety (The feeding and caring guide for your toys to keep them in best health); Building Your Toy Box (how to make a toy box and tips for storage); and there’s also a Resource Guide, Acknowledgments, and About the Author.

Size Comparison: Standard Letter Paper under the book

As you can tell with all of these chapters, this book covers a lot of material. The titles are all very straight-forward and fun too. It’s a lot like the tone that Taormino uses throughout the book. She’s fun, she’s engaging–writing the book in a conversational and engaging manner–and she’s to the point. She has to be to the point if she wants to cover material from clitoral vibrators to lubrication without running out of space! This book is around 7 inches x 7 inches, and 1 inch thick (counting both hardcovers). It’s big, but smaller than you’d think it needs to be in order to cover all this material. Taormino does it though by giving you the essentials.

As a beginner, I found all the information to be very fascinating and useful. Taormino doesn’t only tell you about sex toys, but also gives you safety tips, ideas on how to use the toys, and also recommendations about what toys to get. Yeah, this book is chock full of current toys on the market and about how they work. As I mentioned before, Taormino also takes certain toys and gives directions on how to use the toy in a certain position that might be best for it (She calls these sections where she gives advice on what sex toy to use in what positions the “Perfect Pairings”). But not only are there recommendations, there are also links to websites where you can find some of these toys. Taormino does a good job giving out a variety of online shops to buy from, be it from the manufacturer or stores like EdenFantasys.

I found a few typos as I read through the book (such as the Bo cockering being described as a Tantus product when it is made by LELO), but not very many of those at all. This is a very quality book and good for beginners to guide them into the world of sex toys and how to use them. It’s good for those who might need a little convincing or proof that it’s OK to use a sex toy. Though they might have to get over the soft-core erotica within the book first. But this book is also for anyone who loves sex toys. It’s a great collection of information with lots of pictures for illustrating various points. I think I’ll keep it on hand if any of my friends wants to find out more about the subject. Hidden though…remember, not discreet.

You can get the Big Book of Sex Toys from this adult toys store.

Certain Lubricants May Lead to Increased Risks of STI

newlyinclined — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 18:03:41 +0000

I first saw this news in a blog post. Whoa! It went and blew away a lot of what I thought I knew. I mean, lube is supposed to mean safer sex, right? Less tearing, less pain, and the such. But after actually reading through the blog and then going on to the study abstract, things are sort of making sense.

Pamina M. Gorbach, Robert E Weiss, Robin Jeffries, Edward Fuchs, Marjan Hezerah, Stephen Brown, Alen Voskanian, Edward Robbie, Peter Anton, Ross D Cranston. “Rectal Lubricant Use and Risk for Rectal STI”

You can get the abstract of the study here

This study was conducted by researchers from the UCLA School of Public Health, the UCLA School of Medicine, the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the Los Angeles AIDS Research Alliance, and the University of Pittsburgh. They conducted this study on volunteers in Los Angeles and Baltimore. The participants were given a survey to fill out about their sex lives and their hygiene (this includes whether or not they use lube during anal intercourse; the last time they used lube during anal intercourse; whether or not they have HIV; and their demographics). The participants were then tested for rectal STIs chlamydia and gonorrhea.

.The results of the study show that 8.3% of participants had rectal STIs. The 8.3% was made up from 11.3% of the participants who used lube and 4.5% of those who didn’t. The study also reported that out of the participants who were HIV positive, 57% reported that they used lube, and 43% reported they didn’t.

The researchers concluded that “finding suggest use of some rectal lubircant products may increase vulnerability to rectal STIs, highlighting a need for more research on types of rectal lubricant products, their use during [Receptive Anal Intercourse], and potential mechanisms for how rectal lube use may facilitate transmission of rectal STIs and HIV.”

There was also another study that looked into the different brands of lubricant that’s commonly used and their safety done by researchers at the Magee-Womens Research Institute, University of Pittsburgh, and the International Rectal Microbicide Advocates.

Julie Russo, Lisa C. Rohan, Bernard Moncla, Ratiya Pamela Na Ayudhya, Lin Wang, Marilyn Cost, Kara Pryke, Marc-Andre LeBlanc, Jim Pickett, and Charlene S. Dezzutti. “Safety and Anti-HIV Activity of Over-the-Counter Lubricant Gels”

You can also see that abstract here

The study tested the following lubes: Astroglide, Elbow Grease, ID Glide, KY Jelly, PRE, (<–water based lubes) and Wet Platinum (silicone based). They looked at the properties of these lubes as well as how the lubes affected epithelial cells. Out of these lubes, Wet Platinum was determined to have “no toxicity” and PRE did nothing to the cells. All the other water-based lubricants were hyperosmolar (they had a higher concentration of salt compared to the inside of a cell), thus the resulted in “epithelial stripping” where the cell tries to fix the imbalance and forces water out of itself to do it, resulting in the death of the cell. These lubes aren’t only harmful to the cells inside the rectum, but also to the colonies of ‘good’ bacteria that already reside inside the rectum.

Essentially the harmful lubes are stripping away the protective layer of epithelial tissue in the rectum.

Their conclusion: “Our data suggests that PRE and Wet Platinum were safest. The hyperosmolar nature of the other lubricant gels was associated with cellular toxicity and may lead to increased risk of HIV infection.”

It also should be noted though that they didn’t test these lubes on humans and Charelene Dezzutti says that “Conclusions cannot be made based on this study alone, though the results are compelling enough to wonder if these lubricants might have the same effect in people and thereby increase susceptibility to HIV.”

Science News also covered these studies as well as Charlie Glickman from Goodvibes.

Mr. Glickman makes some really good points in his post. I’m interested in seeing if more research is going to be done and also seeing the results of those studies because at the moment, it’s still really early in all this research. All they have found is a correlation, but correlation doesn’t automatically mean causation.
