I have to put that where?

Yep I guess I do if I want to review sex toys and give you all an honest review! 

I signed up as an affiliate on Good Vibrations, because lets face it...free toys just for airing my dirty laundry to the world seems like a kick ass trade off to me!  They give you a list of toys to choose from and you get to pick one out a voila you get a toy in the mail to play with.  This is the first review I am doing for them so hopefully you don't find it too damn boring and you find something you like.
*and if you want to buy something go through my link because in addition to getting free toys for whoring myself I get a commission on referred sales*


Kit Includes:
2 Batteries - AA



About the kit in general
This kit is an excellent little kit and would be great for a gift set to take on a romantic weekend getaway.  It comes with pretty much everything you need for a romantic night with your lover (except condoms) or it is prefect for just a night alone at home.

This came in a cute little 2oz tin.  Size makes it great for travel.  The ingredients for this are soy wax, soybean oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and essential oil (lavender.)  My first thought on opening the tin is what a wonderful smell.  Its a pretty strong lavender scent, but not too strong.  I like stronger scented candles though (soy wax tends to carry a better scent.)  The lit candle emits a light fragrance that isn't overpowering.

The wax isn't even close to being to hot when you drip it on your skin, just pleasantly warm.  Spreads wonderfully and when on the skin is very similar to massage oil.  If you aren't familiar with massage oils they tend to be a little on the greasier side (this is not an unpleasant greasy) and it allows for massage without absorbing into the skin to fast.  The scent left behind is a little strong, but it fades.  This product did not aggravate my skin and I have slightly sensitive skin so you should be safe.

Cons:
If you don't like essential oils or have reactions to them this would not be a product for you
Slight greasy residue
*neither of these were a problem from me just a warning to you all*


The scent I received was amber rose and it came in a small 2oz bar.  Kinda looks like a guest bath soap.  The ingredients are cocoa butter, shea butter, and fragrance oil.  The scent is not strong at all.  I am not a fan of rose scented products and I even liked this one.

This bar glides along the skin and melts onto skin with contact.  Very great massage product.  It leaves a very light scent and is the same as the candle with the consistency and oil feel.

Cons:
same as the Ignite me massage candle


The Please Cream lube came in a 2oz bottle.  This lube is water based and has the consistency of a water based lotion, but with more glide.  Not tacky and doesn't leave a sticky residue.  Good lubrication.

Cons:
Slight odor...not too unpleasant
water based so it washes of easily (problem if your using the toy or having sex in the shower)


SO...first thing I have to share because I thought it was funny.  I'm a package reader and I was reading the box for this vibe and I find this...
*check out the underlined portion*
This is supposed to be a vibe for the G spot and it even says so on the side, but the product isn't really supposed to go there???

I'm sure its a warning due to a silly California law, but I thought it was funny regardless.

Ok!  Now that we have the warning noted we can move on.
This is a hard plastic vibe and it is a little over 6 inches long.  Very smooth outside with nice curves built into the design for different types of stimulation.  There is a multi speed control dial and the vibrations on this thing go up to a pretty strong setting.  Very good as a G spot vibe and also works  very well for clit stimulation.  The waterproof feature makes it great for shower or bath use.  I would actually recommend that as the main use since this thing is pretty loud even internally and the shower noise should drown out the vibrator noise.

This could also be used with a partner for internal play or clit stimulation during sex.

Cons:
Very loud...Probably wouldn't use it if you get embarrassed easily and you live with people
Very Hard.  If you like toys with a softer external surface or more give this is not a toy for you

*this toy takes 2 AA batteries and the kit comes with batteries for it so that is convenient*

That's it for this portion of me whoring myself out...stay tuned for more!

The awkward ground of the...dun dun dun... first time

Now I'm not talking about the big V-card. I'm sure anyone reading this has at least one experience under their figurative belt. What is on my mind today is the first time with a new partner. I know I know we all (well we are at least taught that all of us) are supposed to have ONLY one first time, one partner ever. Lets deal with it, as Big B put it to me the other day.....We are in the age of try it before you buy it.



So how do you handle that first time with a new partner? I know for me there are so many things going on not only in my head but that anxious buzz in my entire body. Here are my tips:

A) Give clear and precise signs.  ~ You know yourself, newbie doesn't. If you HATE something don't let newbie stumble upon it. That could be a deal breaker, do not pass go do not collect booty.

B)Don't be afraid to be vocal.~ In the heat of foreplay I know I can't tell the difference between a squirm away and a "I like that too much" squirm. Speak up so that you get what you want you never know your partner might enjoy it more being told exactly what works. 

C) Read the signs! ~ Lord knows that we are all self conscious. Don't forget to think about the other person. If you want clear signs give them out too. No fair leaving the new kid in the dark. 

D) BE SAFE have that talk, be prepared! Who hasn't had that experience where each expects the other to be prepared and have protection? 

E) Don't expect them to be someone they are not. Just because Dave starts with a D, he isn't going to be just like your last guy who was named Doug. That goes for everything though. New person means new experiences so let it happen and don't hold yourself back because of what has happened in the past.

F) Take your time! No need to rush. Enjoy the new/strange feelings and you never know you might learn something about yourself. 



I guess that is all for me this time. Good Luck and defeat that awkward!

Who is knocking on your backdoor??

Yes everyone...By backdoor I am referring to Anal Sex

*Warning*
This may be a little much for some so if your squeamish you might not want to read this post.
*then again I doubt to many prudes will be reading this blog in the first place since it does have a nice little content warning*

Anal sex is still considered a taboo by most of the general population even though sex education and awareness has grown considerably over the years.  Regardless of your stance on doing it or not this is just meant to be an informative post as to the health risks that may be involved and if you should choose to what is the best way to proceed and how to be safe about it.

There are plenty of health risks that come into play with anal play.  As with any other sexual act though if your protect yourself you can severely diminish those risks.  The most common risk is STI's.  There is a higher risk of transference for STI's with anal sex, because the lining in the rectum is very delicate.  Same goes for bacteria infections.  Having anal sex opens you up to the possibility of transference of bacteria from other places to the rectum and from the rectum to other places. 

The best way to protect yourself from these risks is to get yourself tested, use condoms, be clean while your getting dirty ;)  Testing yourself when your sexually active is a big thing.  Not everyone uses condoms every single time (myself included) and you never know what the other person is doing even if they tell you there clean and tested.  Wearing condoms ties into that.  You just don't know where someone has been.  Then there is the cleanliness aspect.  Switching from ass to vagina or vice versa is very dangerous and can lead to nasty infections.  Please, for goodness sake, clean yourself after any type of butt play.  Even just hands on.  Don't spread those germs elsewhere.  Make it fun.  Jump in the shower and was each other afterwards or something, but wash yourself!!

Another major thing when considering adding anal play to your sexual palate is you must be completely comfortable with your partner.  If you don't have good communication and solid understanding of your partners wants, needs, and their comfort zone the chances are it wont be a pleasant experience. So be vocal.  Tell your partner what you want and how you feel.  Being able to express yourself sexually with your partner is a key thing in any relationship anyway so talk to your partner about your fantasies and theirs.  During the act be vocal as well.  If something is uncomfortable let your partner know.  Don't expect them to know what is going on in your head.

Last thing that you need if you intend on having anal play....LUBE!  Please get some lube.  Makes things go much smoother...Pun intended

And that, my blogger friends, was my post on Anal sex.  If you are not into that sort of thing that is your business, but its best to be open and honest with your partner when discussing sex.  Like I said earlier.  That is the key to a healthy sexual relationship and also the key to being satisfied in that relationship.

*Good Vibrations, the site I reveiw toys for now, has a lot of how to information on pretty much anything sex related so if you ever have questions or you just want to learn you should head over there and check it out here

False Advertisment

While browsing through Ross today I came upon a very interesting find
Its essentially an ass push-up bra with padding!
If felt like bra padding too.
Granted this was in Ross so it clearly wasn't a hit seller, but damn!

Who would by this?  Not only is it the worst form of false advertisement, but you know someone is going to catch on quick.  Seriously.  Some guys gonna try to grab the butt and get a hand full of padding then its all down hill from there.  I have no shortage in the booty, but I would rather have a flat ass than ever wear something like this.

Personally I like rocking the push up bra, but I don't consider that false advertisement.  I don't stuff it with gel things that they have everywhere now.  I'm not talking about those stick on strapless/backless gel things either.  I'm talking the add a cup size or two things. 
And fake nipples???  There are some instances where I don't judge wearing inserts like sewn into a strapless gown so you don't see nipple through or in the case of my late grandmother in place of her missing breast after a mastectomy.

I'm talking about ladies that put in false boobies and go out looking to land a man.  Eventually he is going to find out and personally I would be pissed.

You go in expecting this


and instead you get this


The last form of false advertisement I have been guilty of myself a time or two.  I own a spanx slip to wear under my dresses (not that I wear dresses that much...I'm a jeans and heels kinda girl).
I don't see these as too high on the deception scale, because your not adding anything, and its still all yours.  I think for the most part women don't need these either.  If you know how to dress yourself well and buy quality clothes that fit you there is no need for shape wear most of the time.
I think the point I'm trying to get across is embrace what you have, because that is the sexiest thing of all.

Adventures in Bondage

Hey everyone!  Its B (Brandi)
I guess its about time I chimed in on a topic!

I have always liked a little kink with my sex.  I like things rough, fast, and hard.  The more scratching, biting, hair pulling, and spanking the better.  Don't get me wrong.  I like making love too, but there is something hot about rough sex.
I have always been interested in BDSM...Not hard core, but light BDSM is a big turn on.
I have been handcuffed (please get the fluffy kind or some other kind of restraint because metal handcuffs can cut your arms pretty bad if you like to move during sex) and that was awesome.  I love when my hands are restrained.  It makes me struggle more and try to touch and it adds to the excitement.  I haven't gone to far into actually acting out the fantasies, but there are quite a few there that I want to try.

I really would like to learn more about the scene and try out some new things.
Anybody have any tips or suggestions??

Themes....

Hello again

I know it has been a few days since you have seen anything from us and this weekend was a good one for me ;-) That isn't what Im going to share with you lovelies today though. Don't pout to much, I'm still getting used to putting it all out there, I'm sure the dirty stuff will come. (tee hee hee) I really just had a question for the masses. Would you attend a lingerie party? If so how far would you go in attire? Personally I think it would be a grand time if hosted correctly. There is always that chance for it to sway to the "awkward turtle" or "bad frat party."
Just something that had been on my mind lately.....
