Euripides—the lesser known of the Greek tragedians—once said, “The greatest pleasure of life is love.” If the greatest pleasure in life is love, according to Euripides, then I have found both love and pleasure confined in a soft coating of silicone. “The Original” Personal Pleasurizer, from the folks at California Exotic Novelties, struck my interest. With its personalized design for the ultimate feminine arousal; allowing for a harmonized stimulation of both clitoral and g-spot. Possessing two tantalizing speeds and an easy push button.

It is with much embarrassment that I must admit that there were times that the Personal Pleasurizer’s intensity became too much for this little reviewer. Could this be due to my month of celibacy? Perhaps. Whatever it was, this toy truly separates the woman from the girls.  Clearly stated on the package is “incredibly powerful.” Though, at first, this may not be intended as a warning. Possibly just a slight heads-ups for what is surely to come. Nonetheless, I am woman enough to admit that there were times that I had to put the little bugger down or dared not venture past the first speed. If this intensity is something that you may be interested in, then god speed! For the more sensitive ones, like myself, if slowly eased the Personal Pleasurizer will open your senses to powerful waves of pleasure.

What is it about the joining of purple and silver that screams shear classy, with a trace of naughty? With a purple silky smooth satin finish, that fits comfortably into the palm of your hand (dry or wet), topped off with two beautifully silver-coated wires attached to purple bullets; the Duplicity is intended for stimulation of both the body’s hunger for touch and the soul’s need for passion.

The superstars’ from California Exotics recently introduced Body & Soul—a praiseworthy collection of pleasure toys designed to turn up the heat and welcome all inner deities to melt.

Unofficially dubbed “Jack and his Magic Beans,” Duplicity’s offers two standard speeds and two self-heating magical beans—for those cold winter nights. Though it might purr as sweetly as a bundle of kittens, do not misjudge the strength and intensity of the tiger-blooded Jack and his Magic Beans! Constructed with you in mind, this toy is built to have it your way; allowing the positioning of the self-warming bullets safely into any orifice or against any surface.

Duplicity, along with many other exclusives from California Exotics, has been honored with a very special—easily accessible—location near my bed. Coming in an array of colors, Mr. Jack and his two Magical Beans are guaranteed to send intense quakes down to your toes. Just plant the two Magical Beans into the orifice (or orifices’) that you prefer, and see what beansprout springs free awaiting it’s conquering. 

What’s your flavor: creamy and light vanilla? Or, Perhaps you find yourself in the mood for something more dark and rich? The Tantric Binding Love Corset with Wrist Cuffs, from California Exotics, will unquestionably fulfill those unfathomable hungers pains for creating a more tactful environment for all your divine needs.

With that said, my Dear Reader, you can understand my titillating response to the Tantric Binding Love Corset with Wrist Cuffs. The rubber belt hugs seductively around the waist, obliging to most sizes. With lovingly decorated wrist cuffs, made of a light, comfortable polyester material. Fitting snuggly around the width of my wrist, the cuffs bound my arms securely by my side allowing for maximum provocative possibilities. To my disappointment—but my boyfriend’s relief—I was rather saddened to note that the wrist cuffs does not accommodate to hands and wrist of larger diameters. Nonetheless, this will be a toy that you won’t mind reserving for your use only! Prohibiting touch during intercourse will guarantee enhanced sexual energy and sensations.

Regardless of obtaining responsibility of the sweet, strawberry welts on the tushes of women across the world, E. L. James’ 2011 erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey has also picked up where Bettie Page left off in 1950 in resurrecting bondage back into the mainstream. Today, Bondage & Discipline, Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is openly portrayed through popular culture. The concept is not entirely new; the use of whips, leather, cuffs, or what have was first utilized sometime after the discovery of sand. Practicing BDSM can be spiritual, sensual, and pleasurable. Solely relying on a strong trusting bond—trust that your partner will not leave you tied and blindfolded in the bedroom to make a sandwich in the kitchen (this is a BIG no-no)—and reassuring comfort from both the consulting submissive and dominate figures.

Interested in bringing back the kink to the everyday positions of doggie or missionary? Perhaps you are seeking the stimulating works of a vibrator without the handheld annoyance. Perhaps what you seek is a fabulous Cock Ring (C-Ring) to increase sensation and excite the feeling of engorgement.

The saints at California Exotic Novelties have conveyed another wonder into this world, and presented her with the name Lia. Gorgeously fashioned silicone with a pleasurable ribbed texture; Lia’s designed to multi-tasks as a blood-boiling genital massager and exciting probe. There is something for everyone and personally designed for the selective couples. Serving with 10 functional stimulating patterns, just slide Lia to the base of your penis and she’ll rock the most basic sexual position.

Here is a quick fun fact for your enjoyment:
Did you know the C-Ring is one of the oldest sex toys in existence? The first documented C-Ring was in Ancient China, using a goat’s severed eyelid. The Scottish also improved on a similar technique with the use of a sheep’s eyelid with the eyelashes still intact (comparable to the modern day French Tickler). C-Rings today, like Lia, have come a long way from the split eyelid of a goat to the use of a cleaner, classy material. The stretchy comfort from silicone provides support and allows for a powerful wave of stimulations. Unfortunately, dust and hair collects easily onto the surface of the toy. With any sex toy, it is vital to clean Lia with a basic toy cleaner—many of which you may find and are reasonably priced at California Exotics.

Invite Lia into your bedroom to see what this little honey has to offer during your night of romance. It is recommended, as the three of you become more familiar, to play around with her various functions so that you may experience the surprises that Lia have in store for you. Of course, it is always nice to serenade your partner with a poem: Roses are red, Violets are Blue, I have a ring for you, it goes on my head!

What makes rock concerts so hot? Could it be the ramping, throbbing vibrations of the room or the rubbing of elbows with hundreds of sweaty strangers? Whatever the reasons, rock concerts remain sexy and so does the rock stars that perform them!  Attending a concert, of your choice, and being invited for your own personal backstage tour makes for an exotic fantasy and a darn good role-play. Some may visualize a fun grinding session with the lead vocalist—which is nice… if you’re interested to give up hours of your time to listen about their emotions and futile perspectives of themselves. Dearest readers, if it is dirty excitement that you desire, then it is a drummer that you seek.     

  The fine folks at California Exotics have teamed up with Phil Varone, former drummer for rock bands Skid Row and Saigon Kick, to create the striking new Sex, Toys and Rock ‘n Roll collection of toys. Sex Stix is one of the many featured toys offered from this new rockin’ collection. These toys are disguised as drum sticks personalized by Phil Varone, but with a simple twist of the ends you will experience the sensational effects of the vibrations that Sex Stix offers as a cool duo.

When using Sex Stix for internal use, as with all toys, it is important to perform with caution due to the toy’s hard body. The glossy, smooth coating makes for easy cleanup. This toy is wonderful when playing with a partner or playing in the style of Rick Allen (If this music reference confuses you, please take this time to catch up on your Def Leppard knowledge). Though the idea of double penetration with two drumming sticks may strike some as alarming; these toys are designed to spark creativity and fun. Couples are encouraged to get creative to discover pleasurable uses and positions with these hard-core toys.

Here is the first of many sex toy reviews from our new sexpert! Enjoy!

Tip toe to experience toe curling intense vibrations of the 10-Fuction Risque Tulip™. Complete with ten diverse speeds and vibration patterns triggered by a single button. These patterns include a variety of pulsating throbs and consistent vibrations that provide a wide variety of choices, depending upon the operator’s mood. With its long sleek shape and broad tip, the Tulip allows for comfortable access during use with a partner. The safe smooth design allows for easy cleaning after each use of the device. The Tulip is not recommended for individuals who prefer a variety of options within a short period of time. Continuously switching through the ten programs searching for the mode that would fit ones current needs became rather distraction. The Tulip is highly recommended when used with a partner during foreplay. When used vaginally, communication between partners is suggested due to the hard exterior of the device to avoid pain. Make sure your partner is gentle while inserting and use considerable amount of lubricant.
