The world of sex is evolving, and we are always excited to discover new toys, new positions and all sorts of excellent tips & tricks for getting off. Sex may not seem like something that should be trendy, but much like the latest pubic hair style (fluffy, if you're asking - it's cold) or knickers (tummy-hugging - still cold!), different types of sex go in and out of fashion.
Straight Men Are Enjoying Prostate Stimulation
Going by what our customers are asking about, it's clear that cis-het men (or straight, for us Gen X:ers) are becoming more open to the idea of having their back entrances played with.
Looking back to when journalist and all-round babe Violet Fenn wrote an article about pegging, shocked readers of Metro were quick to shut down the notion that the prostate gland could indeed be a pleasurable body part. One reader even suggested Ms Fenn should be sacked for such an outrageous suggestion. We saluted Violet & Metro for their ballsy approach - and not just coz we're in the article! :p
Pegging is a term that has been used for some years, originating in the U.S. By definition, pegging is when a woman dons a strap-on and anally penetrates her male partner with a dildo. It may not be for everyone, but we can reveal that more couples than ever are getting their rocks off this way.
If the thought of pegging floats your boat, our Pegging Strap-On Dildo Kit has everything you need to get started. Just saying. wink
'The dildo is perfect for pegging - it was my boyfriend's first time and this was just the right size for him - not too intimidating while plenty stimulating.'
Suction Sex Toys Are Blowing Minds (& Clits)
You might have read the word suction and have been instantly put off, but bear with us: these fantastic air tech toys have been true show-stoppers in the world of sex toys.
Suction sex toys feature a small silicone tip that nestles around the clitoris, creating a rumbling effect with vacuum-style suction for quick, high-intensity orgasms. With 10,000+ nerve endings at the very tip of the clit, this type of sex toy offers intense pleasure and banging orgasms.
We sent a team member home with a couple of different designs for an unbiased comparison between market leaders Womanizer and Satisfyer Pro2 (it's a tough job, but someone gotta do it). She found that while designs and price differ somewhat, orgasms come hard and fast with both - which is, of course, most important!
Our customers agree with her - here's what one had to say after her first sesh with the Satisfyer Pro2:
'First toy of my life. First use. 4 orgasms in less than half an hour + the first squirt of my life. What’s just happened? This is female empowerment.'
Squirting - Wet Waves of Pleasure
Squirting - myth or the best goddamn pleasure you have ever experienced? Well, it depends on who you ask. Science is far behind with this one, so we can only judge by our experiences and those of lovers, friends and customers.
There may be traces of urine in squirt, but it's not a full-on pee. Some folks luuuurve to squirt, and others don't like it. Some people do it all the time, some occasionally, and some have never squirted. And all of those are perfectly normal. Sex isn't better or worse if you squirt, despite what porn may suggest (lots of squirting = better sex). Some squirt volumes and need special waterproof blankets, and others drip-drop a teeny-tiny bit. Squirting may happen at the point of orgasm, or before or after. It may have nothing to do with orgasm at all.
With squirting, there are no rules. You do you! If you want to give it a go, we think you should. And if you can't think of anything worse than wet bedding, then that's fine too :)
Many of our customers have their favourite toys for squirting. We can't guarantee that love juices will flow in abundance, but if you are curious, here are the most popular 'helpers' for regular squirters:
- Satisfyer Pro2 suction sex toy
- Njoy Pure Wand Massager
- Fingers (your own or a lover's)
'It [Njoy Pure] never fails to provide easy, squirting orgasms whether used vaginally or anally. Beautifully weighted, very comfortable to grip/use solo or partnered. Best g-spot toy I've ever had the pleasure to use.'
