Product Review

I’ll be honest, a collection of stories involving dudebro doms and lady submissives makes me go “ugh, straight people” right off the bat, but erotica is more about the tension than the… plot? So I wanted approach this book with an open mind. Being a relatively ‘nilla queer, I write to you as the probably not-intended audience for Serving Him, an anthology of “sexy stories of submission” edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel and published by Cleis Press.

Even as an atheist myself, I have trouble reading atheist literature. It’s usually preachy, bitter, and too quick on the draw with theories about the social/cultural effects of this or that religion. Often, they use “religion” as a synonym for “Christianity”. So, I’ll be honest: I didn’t expect to like Sex and God. In fact, I didn’t even realize I did until I heard myself citing some of Darrel Ray’s ideas in an argument with a friend.

I’m pretty vanilla. Beyond the occasional spanking, power exchange, and my yet-to-be-fulfilled strap-on fantasies, I can’t say I have much interest in dipping my toes into the local kink community.

That is, I didn’t have much interest, but the photos and anecdotes in Morpheous’ How to Be Kinkier have piqued it.

New Book: Manuela's Manual: An illustrated instruction manual explaining in detail how to make a realistic, life size and very sensuous plaster sculpture of a vulva; a fun, easy and sexy art project for playful couples.
by Manuela Lollenbeck

Discover the joy of genital casting. This book demonstrates how to make a plaster sculpture of a vulva. That's right. In a few steps you can make a highly realistic and durable representation of your favorite vagina.

I’ve talked to quite a few people who loved this vibrator and, while I can see the appeal, it doesn’t rank among my favorites.

That’s not to say the G-Twist by Fun Factory isn’t good. It’s 100% Silicone, so it’s easy to clean. The controls are improved, I’m not fumbling with it to change the speed, but it also doesn’t turn on if I accidentally bump my nightstand the way the previous G2 series would. And it’s relatively quiet for such a powerful vibe.

I cannot say enough good things about this mini vibe.

It was one of my first and I have repurchased it twice. It is my favourite for so many reasons.

First, it is one of the most versatile toys I have ever owned. I have used it alone, during oral, and during penetrative sex.

Second, I love that it attaches to your finger, so you don’t have to worry about losing your grip on it during playtime.

For someone like me, for whom anal play is still a little intimidating, The Quattro by Fuze Toys is the perfect beginner plug. It’s slim enough to ease my anxiety but the tapered bulbs keep it interesting and allow it to be used as anal beads as well. Plus, the handle at the base will fit a vibrating bullet! How smart is that!?

Liberator has solved an awkard problem with their new 'throes'. The wet spot that usually accompanies good, messy sex. Super soft, we ordered the microfibre one and while it cost the same as our heated blanket did; it's been well worth it.

A nice trait in an anal toy is a curved tip at the end for ease of entry.

What I really appreciate in my small ripple is that it's two anal toys in one, three if I add vibration to the base!

 The Laya Spot has all the right curves.

Like the partner that fits as a perfect spoon for snuggling, the Laya Spot felt like it was made just for me.

Acquainting with a new toy (like a new lover), can sometimes be uncomfortable and take time.
