The Best Gifts For Guys
Monday, December 17th, 2012Think sex toys are just for women? You’re in for a surprise. And so is he if you give him something sexy for the holidays. Here are some of our favorite toys for boys…
High tech gadgets are a dime a dozen during the holidays. But this is probably the only “penis head stimulator” you’ll find under the tree! Fun Factory’s innovative Cobra Libre is waterproof, rechargeable and allows you to choose from a seemingly endless variety of escalating, pulsing, thumping, buzzing and wavelike sensations. Plus, it looks like a race car!
$149.95
Sometimes the best gifts are the most mysterious. From the outside, the Tenga Flip Hole looks like a futuristic flashlight or modernist paperweight. Open it up and you’ll discover an ultra-soft masturbation sleeve with a totally unique tunnel full of stimulating nubs, curves and ridges. Easy to clean and fun for both solo and partner play.
$99.95
There are so many cock rings to choose from, but here’s a ring to rule them all. This elegant, ergonomic ring is made from a unique nylon fiber, cozy enough to be worn all day. It’s also got a curved nub that gently and firmly massages the perineum for enhanced pleasure.
$54.95
If you believe it is better to give and receive, you can’t go wrong with this vibrating ring. The Duet has two vibes– one below to buzz his balls and perineum, and one on top to satisfy his partner. The soft, stretchy elastomer surface is covered in pleasing nubs for added excitement.
$44.95
If your partner is trans, a pair of packing underwear may be just the right fit. SpareParts makes a range of garments for packing, but we’re partial to the Pete Trunks, a sexy set of boxer briefs, specially designed to securely hold a packer. They’re made of a lightweight, breathable material and can be worn comfortably under daily clothes.
$39.95
Here’s a great stocking stuffer for the horny dude on your gift list. This super-stretchy masturbation sleeve is amazingly versatile. The reversible design allows him to choose between a smooth and slick stroke or a ridge-filled ride. The open-ended design means you can play too.
$13.95
If you plan to play over the holidays, it’s best to keep some lube on hand. We love Liquid Silk because it looks and feels just like male ejaculate. It’s a favorite among trans guys and folks who enjoy gender play. Creamy, long lasting and glycerin-free.
$1.95-$18.95

Sam Rosenthal Reads from “Rye”
Los Angeles- December 10th
Wednesday, November 21st, 2012
Join us on Monday, December 10th from 8pm to 9:30pm at our West Hollywood store for an evening with Sam Rosenthal, reading from his new book Rye.
Brooklyn-based musician Rosenthal turns erotic novelist within the pages of Rye, a steamy, snarky and sensitive walk on the wild side.
Rye is a money-shot across the bow of outdated sensibilities. It takes a sexual somersault through the complexities of desire in a penetrating portrayal of twenty-first century intimacy.
Forty-year-old video artist and father Matt is seeing Rye, a willful and free androgynous thirty-one-year-old school teacher. Attracted to Matt’s kinkiness and groundedness, Rye develops a fetish for his cock and her submission. At a weekend SexxCamp retreat, Matt meets Rain, a snarky twenty-three-year old GenderQueer woman with both an attraction and aversion to sex. The unconventional sex-triangle develops as Matt expands his understanding of his own complexity and desire for connection.
Sam Rosenthal will be reading select passages, answering questions, signing books and hanging out at this free event. Come!
About the author
For the past twenty-six years, Sam Rosenthal has been the lyricist for the underground rock band Black Tape For A Blue Girl. Their ten self-released albums have sold to tens of thousands of fans around the world. The band’s fans include filmmaker David Lynch and actress Sasha Grey. Sam’s 1996 debut novel, The First Pain to Linger, sold through its limited printing and is now a sought-after collector’s item.
More on Rye
Rye is available in paperback or for your Kindle. It’s GenderQueer, poly, kinky, sex-positive, top-bottom… all kinds of good stuff! Not intended for minors or squares. Read an excerpt from Rye on Amazon or at the book’s website.

This Sunday is Fisting Day!
Friday, October 19th, 2012Join us this Sunday, October 21st in solemn observance of Fisting Day!
What’s Fisting Day, you ask? It’s a global event created by queer porn icons Jiz Lee and Courtney Trouble to promote acceptance of vaginal and anal fisting. As they explain on the official Tumblr:
“Fisting Day began not only as a celebration, but a call for awareness – this sex act is banned and censored in most forms of adult entertainment, and that fear is reflected outside of the sex industry as well. We believe that sex-positive education, exposure, information, and discussion is an easy cure for this fist-phobia!”
We totally support this worthy goal, and want to lend a helping hand. To support Fisting Day, we’ll be offering 20% off your entire purchase on Sunday, October 21st.
If you’re coming into one our retail stores, simply mention “Fisting Day” to get 20% off your purchase. If ordering online, type fistingday into the coupon # box during checkout.
Need some pointers? Here’s our handy guide.
A Hand in the Bush is the ultimate, um, “handbook” on the fine art of vaginal fisting. It’s filled with practical information on how to get started. And it’s been approved by three fisting-friendly physicians.
The Oxballs Fist Plug is super realistic and made of soft, body-safe silicone. It’s got a nice wide base that’ll keep it snug in your butt.
When only a famous fist will do, try Belladonna’s Bitch Fist. This unique dildo is made from an exact replica of porn star Belladonna’s forearm and fist.
Whether you’re a first timer or an old hand, it’s a good rule of the thumb to use plenty of lube. And J-Lube is hands down the best lube for anal fisting. Simply mix a little bit of water with the J-Lube powder for a slippery good time. One bottle lasts a long, long, time.
If you plan on playing safe, we strongly recommend a pair of gloves. Unless you’re into medical play (and there’s nothing wrong with that), we recommend these fashionable black latex gloves.
If you want to watch vaginal fisting, we highly recommend the Crash Pad series, especially the kinky installment called “Rope Burn.”
Speaking of Crash Pad, they’ve got a great tutorial on their blog. Check out “Vaginal Fisting Basics”.

Repin to Win an Aneros Vice
Wednesday, August 29th, 2012
- “The vibrator adds an incredible new dimension to sex. My wife loves the buzzing she feels from my erection. It helps push her over the edge. I find that the vibe makes dry orgasms feel like wet ones and it triggers intense super-Os even when I’m flaccid.”
- “Honestly, it felt like a bomb went off in my pelvis. i could feel all the muscles in my body radiating in waves toward my pelvis, like it was feeding it energy.”
- “Had several mini Os, one moderate O with a few spasms of legs, and then I relaxed and let the Aneros do the rest until I got good and hard and finished off with very little stimulation of my penis to a great, hot (as in all over warmth of body), wet orgasm with very warm sensations traveling up my penis.“
These are just a few testimonials by users of the Aneros Vice, which won an AVN award for “Outstanding Male Product Design” of 2011.
It’s easy to see why. In addition to Aneros’ legendary anatomical design, the Vice is made of velvety silicone. And did we mention that it also vibrates? The Vice’s removable stainless steel bullet vibe has three different pulse patterns delivered at three levels of intensity. The toy is girthy enough to be enjoyed vaginally too.
Repin to Win
Want to win a Vice of your very own? We’re giving one away– on Pinterest!
Simply follow us and go to this Vice pin. Then simply re-pin for a chance to win! We’ll pick one entry at random on Friday at 3pm PST.
Good luck!
