The Hitachi Magic Wand is one of the most widely recognized vibrators. It is an integral part of vibrator history and a reluctant pioneer in the category of quality, main stream massagers.

Before the Hitachi Magic Wand was introduced, most sex toys were cheap, poorly made and were considered "novelties"...products to be used a few times for kicks and then discarded. In an attempt to appeal to the main stream, Hitachi initially marketed the Magic Wand as a "muscle massager". However, word of its pleasure producing capabilities quickly spread, and nowadays most Magic Wands are purchased for more erotic activities in mind. Due to its size the Hitachi Magic Wand is primarily used as a clitoral stimulator. The tennis ball sized head is about 2-½" in diameter and is capable of powerful vibrations. There are several attachments available that turn the Magic Wand from an external to an internal stimulator. Two of the most popular are the Hitachi G-Spot Attachment and the Hitachi Probe Attachment. The handle is over 9-inches long and makes it easy to maneuver during solo and partner play, and a two speed control switch allows you to adjust between the "low" and a very powerful "high" setting quickly on the fly.

This sex toy is also highly recommended by Dr. Laura Berman, a sex educator and therapist, "A great choice for novices and the more experienced, especially if genital sensation or arousal has become an issue. Many find the shape reassuring because it could just as easily be a back massager as a vibrator, and the stimulation is quite strong. I often recommend the Magic Wand as a great beginning vibrator."

We just completed a beginner's guide to anal sex. Anal sex is avoided by many people due to the fear of being hurt, fear of hygiene issues, and fear of entering uncharted territories. We would like to assure you that when performed slowly and correctly, anal sex will spice up your sex life beyond your wildest imagination for men and women.

In our article, we answer these three questions first: Does it hurt?, Do women like anal sex?, and If I want to try anal sex, does it mean I am Gay? (question from guys)

Then we describe in seven basic steps to help you understand how to perform anal sex correctly.

1. Clean out your rectum (to avoid a mess and skin abrasions)
2. Turn-on with foreplay (cuddle, kiss, etc.)
3. Rim Preparation (licking)
4. Lube and Finger (to relax the muscle)
5. Strap-on dildo, Butt Plug, Anal Probe, and Anal Beads

Keeping the dildos, the vibrators, and the butt products clean is extremely important for sex toys owners. Especially since these toys are usually used internally. It is best to clean the sex toy before and after each usage to prevent potential illnesses caused by the body fluid left on the sex toy.

One of the most reliable way to prevent the spread of any disease is to use a condom on the toy. Using a condom prevents having to interrupt during sex to clean the toy and lessen the chance of spreading bacterias. Almost all toys feels better used with lubricants. Water based lubricants are the safest.

How to clean sex toys
Antibacterial soap and warm water can be used if you don't have sex toy cleaners. Any sex toy that had contacts with body fluid should be washed in soap and water and then soaked in a solution of 10% bleach and 90% water. Rinse well in clear water for several minutes after to remove bleach and soap. Commercial adult toy cleaning solutions that can be purchased that have been specially formulated to kill all bacteria and germs and at the same time preserve the life of the toys.

Cyberskin Sex Toys Cleaning
Cyberskin is extremely sensitive and should be cleaned following use with warm water and stored in a clean dry place to keep the toy like new.

Silicone Vibrators & Dildos
Silicone is a very durable material so it can be easily cleaned with soap and warm water. Even boiling the toy for disinfection or wash it in a dishwater will not harm it. However, to go to such an extreme, make sure there are no plastic parts and the toy is waterproof.

Rubber Dildos, Plugs & Etc.
The best and easiest way to keep rubber clean is with a condom. Clean all rubber products after use with soap and warm water. They need to also be rinsed well as the left over soap residue can cause damage to the rubber and also irritate the skin.

Latex
Do not use any oil based lubricants on latex. Use only water-based products with latex.

Leather
Leather is a very difficult material to keep clean because of all the irregularities of the material. To clean leather, first wash the edges with a strong foaming cleaner and a brush, then wipe down all of the surfaces with hydrogen peroxide and allow to dry. Follow this by using saddle soap for an additional cleaning. The last process is using a leather conditioner to restore it back to its natural finish. The leather conditioner is an absolute must because without it the leather will begin to dry out and crack. This process does not work on suede.

Sex Toys Storage
Very simple rule for sex toys storage: keep it out of sunlight and make sure the place is not humid.

Note: To get the best battery life for your toy, take the batteries out after each use.

I recently came across the following article. It is a short yet very informative article on why sex toys should be incorporated into everyone's sex lives. Enjoy...

Remnants of the free love generation have thankfully survived and in recent years a sexual revival has resurged in the American psyche and bedroom. This time, however, the participants are a bit wiser and more sophisticated in their sexual exploration. As a result sex toys, once limited to the margins of society, have come full circle and are now in the mainstream of American living. Individuals and couples who had never before tried sex toys are now doing so for the first time. And yet, there still remains some who are scared of introducing sex toys into their life.

This fear comes in large part from a misunderstanding about the uses and ramifications of sex toys. They imagine that sex toys are limited to extreme versions of fetishism or that somehow sex toys are a means of separating you from your partner. These two conclusions cannot be farther from the truth.

With the recent explosion in the popular usage of sex toys, manufacturers have created a wide array of products designed to meet the needs and interests of everyone. While certainly there exists a wide array of S & M products on the market today which those interested in find extremely fun, there also exist a number of products designed for the novice user.

The sex toy industry is completely aware of the desire for many individuals to keep their toys discrete. As a result, a number of products have been designed with that end in mind. Vibrators that look exactly like lipstick containers and lotions and lubricants which are described with terms like ‘relaxation’ rather than more explicit sexual terminology come to mind. The discrete design and packaging of sexual toys allows even the shyest of individuals to feel comfortable.

With fears allayed as to the nature of sex toys, the next question is about their effects on an existing relationship. Whereas in decades past sex toys were largely limited to single individuals or those focused on a particular area of sex, normally labeled fetishism, recently sex toys have been brought into millions of couples bedrooms. Sex toys can be a new and exciting way to spice up sex between a couple who has been together for some time. It can also be an excellent way for couples to explore new areas to find that something works better for them. In effect, sex toys, rather than creating division between couples, are often a source which brings them together in new and exciting romantic situations.

Interesting article from MSNBC

When America's top sex researchers gathered recently to discuss the next decade in their field, some envisioned a future in which artificial sex partners could cater to every fantasy.

"What is very likely to be present before 2016 would be a multi-sensual experience of virtual sex," said Julia Heiman, director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, Bloomington.

"There is a possibility of developing erotic materials for yourself that would allow you to create a partner of certain dimensions and qualities, the partner saying certain things in that interaction, certain things happening in that interaction."

A field dubbed "teledildonics" already allows people at two remote computers to manipulate electronic devices such as a vibrator at the other end for sexual purposes.

"People who use it are just blown away," said Steve Rhodes, president of Sinulate Entertainment, which has sold thousands of Internet-connected sex devices over the past three years. "This is not something that just the lunatic fringe does."

"The Iraq war ... was kind of a boom for our company."

Gina Lynn, who writes the "Sex Drive" column for Wired magazine, says she has used and enjoyed the Sinulator and says there is no reason to fear the technology.

"People are still really afraid of...any sort of combination of sex and technology and of the Internet," she said. "What people are missing here is the point, which is the human connection that we are facilitating through the technology."

"No one who is even inventing this stuff wants or even thinks that technology could ever replace human connection or sex."

Annie Sprinkle, a former adult film actress, prostitute and author of "Spectacular Sex," said teledildonics are a logical outgrowth of improvements in pleasure devices.

"Now people use vibrators like mad and rightly so; the technology of sex toys has vastly improved," she said. "The more options the better; I mean it can never replace body to body."

One of the most interesting bondage sex toys for beginners or experts will have to be the "Under the Bed Restraint System".

Let's start off with a quick description of this bondage toy:
Turn any size bed into a place of binding pleasure, restraint straps quickly fit beneath matress or frame without hooks. Restrain your partner's arms or legs from the sides or the top and bottom of the bed. Portable and travel-sized. The system includes four 60” nylon restraint straps, one connector strap, and four Sportsheets cuffs. These bondage cuffs are made of a heavy-duty nylon strap with a Neoprene backing and a Velcro closure. They are very adjustable and comfortable, easy to put on and remove. They can also be linked together end-to-end and worn as a collar or thigh cuff. Each cuff features an O-ring as a point of attachment, and a small snap hook is also attached to one of the cuffs for clipping the cuffs together.

What's so cool about this system is that to experience one of the most frequently performed bondage activities, you don't need anything but a regular bed. This bed does not need to be specially framed or have bedpost on the corners. This system will let you turn the bed that you have your average boring sex on into a restraint heaven. Simply slide the straps under any mattress, and position them around the bed to create various bondage possibilities. I mentioned in my previous postings that you need to bringing the sexual fantasies out of your partner, this system will definitely be one of these "surprise toys" you can buy for that spice up.

A post on improveyoursexlife blog:

Dear Lucia,
I'm sleeping with this guy who I originally got involved with because I knew he was not the type to commit to one girl. I just wanted sex with no strings attached.

Now we're hanging out, cuddling and spending the night together. He's the one initiating all of this and I'm starting to like him. I think he feels the same way, but it's so hard to read through the game and I know the game because I've done it too. Should I break it off before I end up having feelings for him and getting hurt? Or, should I keep doing what we're doing and see if his actions are really sincere?

Lost

See the answer here Lucia's Answer

Everyone of us has experienced a period of time called "honeymoon period" where two people just met, fell in love, and sex is hot and heavy especially. However, as time goes on, the female partner tend to withdraw from having sex often, which in return is very frustrating to her male partner.

I would like to discuss a few methods that is proven to work on women to bring out a more romantic and satisfying sex life for both of you.

We will discuss two of them today:

1. Keep yourself and your partner in good physical shapes
This is a long term project for yourself and your partner. Sex in its rawest form is a very physical activity, the feel and the touch during sex are very important to both partners. In today's world, people are subconsciously attracted to certain body types because of the heavy bombardments of TV shows and commercials. It is almost impossible for everyone to look like them; however, just because you don't have six packs, doesn't mean you are not physically fit and attractive to your partner. Hit the gym and lift weights to increase these muscle mass. Do some cardios for your stamina. Most importantly, encourage your partner to go with you. Girls, try Yoga and Pilate, they are fun, and they can increase your flexibility, which doubles the points in bed. As studies show, cardio activities can increase endurance for prolonged sexual activity and increase men and women's sexual desires. About.com has another article on this topic, check it out as well: About.com's article on sex and exercise

2. Spice it up
One of the biggest problems for partners to lose interest is the routine sexual activities. You can't just set a time and date to have sex, and you can't just have the same old routine during sex. It becomes extremely boring after a while. Try to create an unpredictable environment for sexual activities. If you have never used sex toys, try to surprise her with a bullet (a great startup sex toy). Another great way to spice it up is try blindfolds and cuffs. You can trust me, not many women will say no to blindfolds. It is just another fantasy of ours. There are many other creative ways to surprise your partner, such as find an erotic story to read or erotic video to watch, etc...

(I believe this is one of you guys ultimate fantasies.). If you read on, you will find great reviews on different products and different websites. Keep up the good work guys.

(More bloggers to come...)

Since the beginning of recorded time the most common health complaint among women was ‘hysteria’, a medical term used to describe a woman in mental or emotional distress and a condition that was thought to be in need of immediate treatment.

To treat the so-called ailment, doctors and midwives massaged the genitals to "hysterical paroxysm," as the orgasm was scientifically termed, to release held-back energies.
The procedure was performed in doctor’s offices, health spas, and the home as a standard medical procedure.

In the mid-1600’s Doctors recommended the following treatment for hysteria:

"...massage the genitalia with one finger inside using oil of lilies, musk root, crocus or [something] similar. And in this way the afflicted woman can be aroused to paroxysm (orgasm)…most especially for widows, those who live chaste lives, and religious females...it is less often recommended for very young women, or married women, for whom it is a better remedy to engage in intercourse with their spouses."

19th century religious proscriptions against self-masturbation meant that Doctors or midwives rather than the individual performed the stimulation. Most doctors did it because they felt it was their duty, but considered it a chore, as manual massage was fatiguing and slow, taking up to an hour to ‘complete’ the procedure.

Beginning in the early 1800’s, Doctors designed many other procedures for arousing women and alleviating the symptoms of ‘hysteria’ for a time including rocking chairs, a swing, and vehicles that bounced the patient rhythmically on her pelvis. It appears however that the women of the day had the problem well in hand.

By 1870 the gentle Doctors got on the right track with a wind-up vibrator made available to both spas and physicians. Obviously no woman was interviewed during the design stage as in field trials it had a tendency to run down before the treatment was complete.

Shortly after the wind up vibrator fiasco, vibrator development took another distinctly male design turn when an American physician patented the "Manipulator" - a steam-powered massage and vibratory apparatus. He warned that patients should be careful to avoid over-manipulation.

Finally, in the 1880’s a British physician invented the electromechanical vibrator for use as a medical instrument issuing in the golden years for dildos. Other physicians followed suit with contraptions intended to serve as vibrators. Articles and textbooks on vibratory massage technique praised the machine's versatility for treating nearly all diseases in both sexes and saving physicians’ time and labor. These vibrators reduced the time of "getting there" from up to an hour to approximately 10 minutes.

By the end of the 19th century, some doctors were advising women to come in for such treatments once a week.

In an effort to better serve the patient, convenient portable models become available, permitting house calls. Vibrators had come of age as an accepted health and relaxation aid.

The electric vibrator was invented right after the electric sewing machine, fan, teakettle and toaster, and before the electric vacuum cleaner, the electric iron and the electric frypan.

The Home Needlework Journal advertised its line of vibrators with the slogan "all the pleasures of youth will throb within you."

As the market became more competitive, ad copy for vibrators was coy and ambiguous. "Be a glow getter," one package insert suggests. And who wouldn't be tempted to experience "that delicious, thrilling health-restoring sensation called vibration," when assured that "it makes you fairly tingle with the joy of living"?

The Sears and Roebuck & Company Electric Goods catalog promotes a vibrator attachment for a home motor that also drives attachments for churning, beating, buffing and fan operating America’s housewives had all but eliminated long bouts of ‘hysteria’ when 1920 Stag films started using vibrators as props. Orgasm without penetration! The vibrator's era as a medical appliance had ended. Advertisements for vibrators gradually disappeared from respectable publications as vibrators transgressed to becoming sex toys.

1960s: Vibrator re-emerges and is openly marketed as a sex aid.
It is quite astounding that in the 1970’s Medical authorities still assured men that a woman who does not reach orgasm during sexual coitus was flawed or suffering from some physical or psychological impairment. It wasn’t until the 1990s that research showed that more than half of all women, possibly more than 70 percent, do not reach orgasm by means of penetration alone.

Vibrators are now a big business; after all, as a vintage advertisement claims,
"almost like a miracle is the miraculous healing force of massage when rightly applied."

New sex toys shoppers might not know it, the best selling sex toy at every adult store is the Jack Rabbit. It was introduced on the hit TV show "Sex and the City" by Samantha (who else) to Charlotte. After Charlotte realized how great this sex toy is, she disappeared in her apartment for a week. I am not going to go into details now, but you can see it wasn't picked by the director for no reason.

This rabbit is about 7 and half inches long in total length, and the penetration length is about 6 inches. It has all the functionalities a basic rabbit vibrator needs. The control is connected to the base via a cord, and you can change vibration intensities of the rabbit ear and the shaft separately on the control. The Jack Rabbit is light, made in jelly, and the vibrations are powerful. Most importantly, it is only $24.29 at our store. It is almost an ideal sex toy for a girl to start with. According to many customers, this is the first vibrator that they have orgasms with over and over again.

Some customers complained about the rotating beads in the center have a tendency to jam. I personally haven't had this problem yet. However, make sure you treat it gently, it is a bunny after all. :-)

We have just implemented the new order by "Review Rating (High to Low)" feature on our dropdown boxes for all sex toys listings. If you browse to a category such as Rabbit Vibrators, you will see the drop down box default to "Product Name Ascending", click on the box and choose "Review Rating (High to Low)", it will sort the products by review ratings (rated by our customers), If two or more sex toys have the same rating, the one with the most number of votes will be placed first.

Hopefully this addition will make your shopping easier at our store. We continue to add new features to our store to make things better for customers. We will keep you updated.

Something I came across and found humorous
------------------------------------------------------

To My Dearest Wife,

During the past year, I have attempted to make love to you 365 times. I have succeeded 36 times, which is an average of only once every 10 days. The following is a list of why I didn't succeed more often: We will wake the kids - 54 times, It's too late - 15 times, I'm too tired - 42 times, It's too early - 12 times, It's too hot - 18 times, Pretending to be asleep - 31 times, The neighbors will hear - 9 times, Headache or backache - 26 times, Sunburn - 10 times, Your mother will hear us - 9 times, Not in the mood - 21 times, Watching the late show - 17 times, Too sore - 26 times, New hairdo - 6 times, Wrong time of the month - 14 times, You had to go to the bathroom - 19 times. Of the 36 times that I DID succeed, the result was not always satisfying because 6 times you just laid there, 8 times you reminded me that there was a crack in the ceiling, 4 times you told me to hurry up and get it over with, 7 times I had to wake you up to tell you I was finished, and once I was afraid that I had hurt you because you started thrashing around and breathing heavy. Let's try to improve this, shall we??

Love, Your Hubby
