Introducing Sex Toys Into The Bedroom

This month’s Expert Blog Post, is by Dirty Little Whispers

Introducing sex toys into the bedroom with a new partner, or even a long-term partner can be difficult. Just the thought of sharing the bed with a sex toy is enough to drive some men and women hiding beneath their sheets!

But if you’re intrigued by the world of sex toys and don’t quite know where to start with your partner, fear not, as there are plenty of toys on the market, which are designed specifically for couples.

And, rather than replacing your current sex life, you’re adding a whole new dimension to it. However, there are things to think about and ways to go about it – throwing a giant dildo onto the bed and shouting “I’ve got you a present!” probably isn’t the best way to start!

Communication

Communication is key, and sex toy shopping is a great way to bond with your partner – from sharing your thoughts on possible toys and games with each other, to waiting for the box of fun to arrive on your doorstep. The fact you’ve both carefully chosen these items together, is like foreplay in itself.

My advice is, don’t chose the most expensive toys first. Why spend all that money on a luxury flogger, to then find out your loved one doesn’t like being spanked? If you start off small, you can see if you like the feeling of a product first, and then move onto the next stage.

The Bullet

I would advise that you begin with a bullet. Nothing fancy, it doesn’t need to be remote controlled – a Rocks-Off 80mm Bullet would be a great start. It’s small, simple and can be used on both of you.

Start by showing him how you like it to be used on you. Try it on your nipples, your inner thigh and of course, your clitoris. Then let him try. He’ll have you wriggling in pleasure in no time. Then swap, you try it on the same places on him, and his perineum (the fleshy part of skin between the testicles and his anus). Try it whilst giving him a blowjob, and he’ll wonder why you hadn’t got one sooner!

Cock Rings

Another great toy for couples to use together, are cock rings. The rabbit silicone vibrating cock ring will be a great addition to your bedside table. It’s made from silicone, which is one of the safest materials a toy can be made from, due to it being non-porous. The stretchy ring will constrict him, keeping the blood in his penis for much longer and enabling him to last MUCH longer. Whilst the vibrations travelling up to the rabbit ears will stimulate your clitoris, they will also effectively turn your man into your own Rampant Rabbit!

Erotica

Have you read any erotica recently – dare I mention Fifty Shades Of Grey?

Not all sex toys have to vibrate, just by taking a simple blindfold into the bedroom you can spice things up tremendously. By blindfolding your partner, you make all their other senses a lot sharper. You could also try taking away their ability to touch by binding their wrists. This simple yet effective introduction to BDSM, is an easy way to test the water, to see if you and your partner enjoy this type of pleasure.

Once your partner is safely bound and blindfolded, you can carefully place kisses down their body, changing depth between soft and passionate, and use feathers to tickle them softly and make them squirm.

Alternatively, use ice cubes to create cool sensations on their skin, then blow softly over it – there are many possibilities that can try, it’s just a case of using your imagination.

Another good tip on gently introducing bondage into the bedroom, is to hold your partner’s hands above their head during sex first. This will give them a taste of what’s to come and is a good prompt to get the restraints out. Try something soft and gentle to start with like a soft, feather handcuff.

Take your time          

Don’t rush, take your time with lots of foreplay first and most important, relax. If you don’t like the feel of a toy on you, then say so. There’s nothing worse than someone thinking they’re pleasuring you, when really you’re wriggling in pain. There are plenty of other toys to try, so if one doesn’t suit, there are plenty more that will be better suited to your needs. With such a variety of different sex toys out there, you really don’t want to strike off a whole category of fun!

Don’t forget to talk about what you did and didn’t like about the toy with your partner, that way you can discover what really works for you both and continue to experiment and have fun with sex toys.

And, finally, after you’ve played and had your fun, remember to clean your new toys thoroughly.

Desire and Pleasure Launch ‘Sexy’ Health Check Week 4th – 10th March 2013

 

Sexy Health Checks to Keep You and Your Partner Safe

Today, we launch ‘Sexy Health Check Week’, encouraging couples to make health checks an everyday part of their sex lives to help keep their partner healthy. 

Why the campaign?

There are lots of fantastic campaigns out there, such as those by leading charities, which encourage people to check themselves for changes in their bodies, but these have always concentrated on self-checks.

This new initiative from Desire and Pleasure however, encourages couples to get to know their partner’s bodies and simply be more aware of each other.

The aim of our ‘Sexy’ Health Check campaign’ is to encourage couples to explore each other’s bodies during sex, and to be open and honest with each other if they do notice anything different. Sex offers the perfect opportunity, when couples are at their most intimate to let their partners know if they do notice any changes.

Changes could be minor such as hygiene, smells, weight changes, skin rashes, allergies or more serious symptoms like lumps and tenderness for testicular and breast cancer.

The research

Our research shows that 23% of people say they have noticed changes on their own bodies, which has prompted them to go for a check-up with their doctor.

But only 12% of those surveyed said that if they noticed physical changes in their partner’s body, they would tell them.

This was mainly due to embarrassment with over half (54%) citing this as the main reason for keeping quiet. However, other reasons included not thinking it was important (27%) and not wanting to have an awkward conversation.

What to look out for

When you are enjoying some fun in the bedroom, here are key things to keep in mind;

  1. It’s better to be open and honest with your partner.
  2. Talking about these things can be tricky, so choose a time to talk after you’ve had sex or been intimate.
  3. They may be concerned by what you say but they’ll be grateful you’ve told them about it
  4. If you think you there are no barriers in the bedroom then apply this rule to you and your own partner’s sexual health
  5. Be aware of the most sensitive areas for pleasure, the testicles and breasts –  if you notice any changes such as lumps be sure to let your partner know
  6. When exploring your partners body, you can check areas they might not be able to, such as the back where there could be changes to moles
  7. Likewise, skin rashes on parts of the body that your partner may not be able to see or has limited vision to
  8. During or after sexual intercourse, don’t ignore any bleeding when not menstruating or any blood in semen
  9. Significant weight loss or weight gain that isn’t explained by diet or lifestyle should be checked out.
  10. Inflammation of any areas, particularly internal areas can be noticed more easily during sex.

Above all, enjoy a happy, healthy sex life just keep an eye on each other to stay safe.

Ideas for a romantic and sexy evening in this Valentines Day

As our latest research shows that 68% of couples would rather stay in for Valentines Day this year, we bring you a host of romantic ideas along with our pick of the best products to make an evening in the house, an evening to remember!

If you order with us by Tuesday 12th February, we can deliver to you by Valentines Day and remember ALL our proceeds support the sexual health charity work of the FPA.

Setting the scene

Start your day by creating a bit of intrigue. Try leaving sexy little notes around the house, perhaps the fridge, the laptop screen or TV to let your lover know exactly what you want to happen later… Try these I.O.U Sex Stickies For Her and Him which will set the scene perfectly.

Every romantic evening needs some mood and ambience creating, and love will certainly be all around you when you burn these Burning Lust incense sticks.  Let them burn all evening as they emit their sensual scent, which is based on an ancient recipe found in the Kama Sutra.

Add to this some candles, which are always a good idea to create a sensual mood. The Monogamy Strawberries and Champagne candle, which has a beautiful scent and aphrodisiac qualities will accompany a glass of champagne and some real strawberries just nicely…. Plus, these candles turn into luxurious warm massage oil when lit, so they are perfect for a sexy massage later into the evening.

For any old romantics out there, a scattering of rose petals will show your love – on the bed, the bath, or over the table for a romantic candle lit dinner. Get creative and turn your home into a romantic love nest.

Have some fun

Once you’ve set the scene and got yourself in the mood it’s time to have some pre-bedroom fun!

Why not start in the bathroom with a steamy hot bath? Make it magical with some bath crystals from Kama Sutra, creating your very own blue lagoon in which to play.  Take the bestselling Rabbit Pearl with you, which is now waterproof, and you’ll turn bath time into passion time.

If water isn’t your thing, you could take it in turns to give each other a sensual massage. Oil is the perfect partner for any massage and this luscious strawberry and champagne Oil of Love will make your lover dizzy with desire.

A game is also a great way to have some fun and explore your sexual fantasies. Lust allows you to create romantic and physical intimacy with 30,000 tantalizing endings so you can play again and again and again!  If you’re in the mood for an orgasm, and who isn’t on Valentines, then The Game of Outrageous Orgasms, is sure to please both partners as you learn 36 new organismic and original moves.

Couples Toys

Make a great end to your perfect evening of passion by adding a couples toy into the mix, something you can both enjoy and cement your Valentines night in, as one to truly cherish and remember – for all the right reasons!

Said to be the ‘ultimate sex toy for couples’ the Zini Deux might look like an egg but is actually two vibrators – one for her to stimulate the clitoris and labia and one for him to cradle the penis and scrotum. Plus it’s remote controlled…genius design.

The Lelo Noa is also a great toy for couples; it is worn by her, but brings pleasure to both and adds a greater level of intimacy to lovemaking plus extremely powerful vibrations.

And remember, whatever you do this Valentines Day, to have fun and stay safe. If you’d like more information on how to use sex toys safely click here and we wish you a healthy and happy Valentines Day.

The Sessions – a candid look into disability and sex

Hitting the big screen now is new film, The Sessions. Based on a real story, the film is about Mark O’Brien (John Hawkes), journalist, poet and activist. His severe physical disability leads him to hire a sex surrogate (Helen Hunt) to lose his virginity to.

 

Time Out London has an excellent article on the film.

The Sessions has received critical acclaim for its honest portrayal of the challenges people with physical disabilities face about sex. As the film exposes, sexual desire is as present and varied for people with disabilities as for those without.

However, lack of information and understanding can stigmatise and reduce the opportunity for people with physical disabilities to fully express themselves sexually.

Privacy can also be an issue. For those who are assisted by a carer (sometimes a family member), sexual needs can feel problematic. Feelings of arousal or physical responses, such as getting an erection when being undressed, may create feelings of shame and embarrassment and an uneasiness to talk about the subject.

It might also be difficult to express a need for privacy or assistance with, for example, masturbation. Sex and relationships education (SRE) in schools is too often based solely around sex for people without disability, creating difficulties for young people in asking specific questions.

FPA recognises the need to tackle these perceptions and works to address these issues through a specialist training programme.

Sessions provide tools for people with disabilities to communicate constructively about their sexual needs, as well as supporting carers to respond and understand the sexuality of the people they care for. Problems and practical solutions are openly addressed (for example having sex in a wheelchair or masturbating with limited mobility) catering to individual needs.

Sexual pleasure is a fundamental human need. Desire and Pleasure is our online adult sex toy shop, run by FPA with the aim of helping people enjoy a positive and safe sexual experience.

The Selected for You range caters specifically for people with limited mobility or a physical disability. The range includes products with chords or flexible shafts as well as hands-free sex toys. They’ve been specially chosen by experts and have supporting online information about how to enjoy the products in a safe and fun way.

Society’s perception of people with disabilities can be an obstacle. Attendees of FPA’s training sessions have expressed that having a disability means a constant medical focus by carers, doctors and family, which sometimes overlooks other ways of improving life standards.

The lack of portrayal in the media of people with disabilities having sex reduces understanding of the emotional aspects, and feelings of intimacy or closeness, which sex can create, and deprives people with disabilities of their right to sexuality.

The Sessions is a welcome step in opening discussions on sex and disability, in reducing stigma and acknowledging everyone’s right to sexuality. We look forward to watching it.

How to Find Your Perfect Sex Toy

Sex toys are a great tool for exploring and getting to know your body, they can help you relax after a long day and bring you closer to your sexual partners.

However, knowing which sex toy to buy can be a hard decision, so to help you, we’ve put together a simple list of things to consider, whether this is your first sex toy or your hundredth, to help you find the perfect toy for you!

 

The first thing to consider is – where to buy?

It can be tempting to head to your nearest sex toy shop – and if you’re new to sex toys we’d definitely recommend this so you can see some different styles and touch some of the materials.

However, by buying on the high street rather than online you’re missing out, not only on the massive amount of choice online stores offer, but also on the great information you can get from online reviews.

The added bonus of buying from Desire and Pleasure is that you can be proud of the fact that your pleasure is supporting the great sexual health charity work of the Family Planning Association.

 

The next thing to think about is – style

Most people are familiar with the more common toys such as the bullet vibrator, the rabbit and cock rings. However, there’s so much more choice so it’s a good idea to think about which style would be best for you to help narrow down your options.

If you’re already sexually active, think about what kinds of stimulation you currently enjoy to help you decide what kind of toy would be best for you.

If you really enjoy clitoral stimulation then a small vibrator like the Climax Silicone Vibrating Bullet is a great option as it can provide strong, direct stimulation.

The Close2You Opus is better suited to G-Spot stimulation and if you enjoy anal stimulation then a smaller toy like the Anal Go Small Butt Plug might work for you.

Wand vibrators like the Lelo Smart Wand can be great if you have limited mobility as they allow you to stimulate yourself without having to stretch or bend.

Once you’ve decided on the style that best suits you there are a couple of other things to think about;

 

Size

Most styles of sex toy come in several sizes, but figuring out what size is best for you is fairly simple.

Larger toys are generally heavier but offer stronger vibrations, whereas smaller toys are weaker but are more discreet and easier to hold and use.

In terms of penetration, smaller toys are often better if you haven’t tried penetration before as they give your body time to adjust and even if you do discover that you enjoy larger toys, you can still use the smaller one, whereas if you buy a toy which is too large for you, it’ll probably end up at the bottom of your drawer!

If you decide you want a toy for penetration, whether it’s vaginally or anally, we’d suggest also buying a good water-based lubricant to make penetration smoother and easier.

 

Noise

We mentioned that larger toys are generally louder and while noise might not be a consideration for you, if you’d rather your toy was more discreet, look for toys which explicitly say they are quieter, like the Vibratex Mini Wand. If it doesn’t say in the description you can also try looking for reviews, as most serious reviewers will rate toys on how loud they are.

 

Strength and Power

With any toy that vibrates, strength and power are also things to think about. Bullet vibrators usually only have one setting – steady or medium strength vibration. The same is also true of vibrating cock rings and butt plugs since these are generally powered by bullet vibrators.

If you’d like more variation then a toy like the EZ Bend Bounding Bunny Vibrator which has 10 different vibrating patterns is a great option.

If you’re looking for super strong vibrations then you’ll probably want a larger toy, and you could also look at rechargeable toys since battery powered toys will generally become weaker as the batteries drain.

 

Material

The final thing to look at and one of the most important, is the type of material the toy is made of. Most people assume that if something is marketed as a sex toy then it must be safe to use for penetration, but because of the lack of regulation on sex toys this isn’t always the case, especially with sex toys which are labelled “for novelty use only”.

Some sex toys contain chemicals that can have negative effects on your body – anywhere from itching to potentially serious reproductive issues – so it’s important you know what to avoid so you can stay safe. Click here for more information on the safe use of sex toys.

The most important chemicals to remember and stay away from are Phthalates, which are often added to sex toys made of PVC to make them softer and more flexible. Phthalates have been classified as “possible human carcinogens” and are banned for use in children’s toys but because of the lack of regulation on sex toys, some do contain them.

The best way to check if a toy contains Phthalates is to check the description or packaging. Desire and Pleasure helpfully list materials on all their pages, but if you’re still unsure then there are some warning signs to look out for.

The first is a “new car smell” when you first open up your toy, and the second is small beads of liquid on the surface of the toy, which are usually a result of Phthalates leaking out of the toy. The ideal situation is to avoid potentially dangerous toys all together but this isn’t always possible, so if in doubt you can simply cover your toy in a condom, which will protect you from any harmful chemicals.

Even toys that don’t contain any harmful chemicals can still be risky, so the second thing to look out for in terms of materials is how porous they are. Materials such as jelly and PVC are highly porous, meaning they have millions of tiny holes that provide the perfect home for bacteria to multiply and make them incredibly difficult to clean.

Toys that are porous should always be used with a condom since this creates a barrier between you and the toy, making them easier to clean and keeping you safe. Toys made of silicone, glass and stainless steel are much less porous meaning they are safe to use without a condom, and you can keep them clean by washing them with warm water and a gentle soap after every use.

As with most things, finding the perfect sex toy is generally a case of trial and error, but we hope this guide helps, and even if you are experienced with sex toys hopefully you’ve come away with some new ideas of toys to experiment with!

New Year New Sex Life – An Idea for Every Month of 2013!

A happy, healthy sex life is one of the staple requirements of any lasting relationship. The insatiable desire for one another which all new-couples experience is a wonderful feeling and one, which we don’t ever want to end.

In 2013, keep those sparks alive or re-ignite the passion by trying something new in the bedroom.

 

We bring you an idea for every month of this year, to ensure not just your New Year, but your Whole Year is filled with happy, healthy sex with the one you love.

Mix them up, try them all or try a few, but whatever you do have fun!

Here you go…

1. Try Something Different

Since the launch of 50 Shades of Grey, the country has gone wild for sex toys, resulting in a Christmas boom and an insatiable appetite for more products.

So if you haven’t already, why not try something different, like BDSM and have a go at this once taboo subject matter.

Unleash your inner dominatrix or revel as the subordinate being dominated by your master.

The possibilities are endless in this exciting game of bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism!

2.     Play Dress-Up

Create an alter ego or get into character for some playful fun in the bedroom.

Of course, we all ultimately end up in our Birthday Suits however; why not spice things up a bit with some sexy dress-up items?

Leather, dresses, body suits, glitter body stockings… all help to add some sexy fun in the bedroom.

3.     Try a NEW Sex Toy

There are countless numbers of sex toys we can guarantee you have never heard of, imagined or even seen before.

All designed to take you to heightened states of pleasure and arousal, these fabulous toys are fun and exciting and with so much choice offer endless opportunities for you to enjoy solo or as a couple!

For details of how to use sex toys safely see our earlier blog post on safety here.

4.     Use Massage in Foreplay

Everybody loves a nice, relaxing massage but it’s even better when it turns sensual with the hands of your lover rubbing you up and down.

This year why not invest in some sensual massage oils and devote some time to this glorious ancient practice, which should definitely not just be left to the odd treat at the Spa.

Give each other a good rub down to put you in the mood for a seriously steamy love making session.

5.     Light Candles

Ambiance is an essential part of setting the mood and there is no better way to achieve a sensual, sexy atmosphere than candlelight.

Providing the perfect amount of light to ensure you look and feel sexy – any lovers boudoir should be well equipped with candles.

Choose a scented one to add an extra air of passion and even better, our Monogomy candles turn into hot oil instead of wax, so can be drizzled seductively over your lover for an extra sensual massage!

6.     Take a Romantic Bath Together

Winding down in a steamy hot bath, bathed in bubbles and candlelight is heaven for many of us.

This year, why not share your tub with your partner and really get those mirrors steamed up.

There are plenty of products that can help to make a divine bath time experience from bath salts to candles and incense sticks!

7.     Use His ‘n’ Hers Lube

It takes two to tango, make chemistry, magic and to make love.

That’s why it takes two lubricants to bring your lovemaking to completely new heights of pleasure.

Try his ‘n’ hers lube like Yours and Mine Couples to create an invigorating sensation for him and a thrilling sensation for her.

Put the two together and suddenly everything is just perfect.

8.     Act out a Fantasy

It’s on everybody’s fantasy list; a police officer, a nurse, a fireman or you name it someone has fantastised about it, at some point.

So in 2013 we dare you to make your fantasy a reality and try a sexy costume.

Unleash your sexy caring side and dress up as a nurse or don your best handcuffs and authoritative voice to arrest your lover.

Above all have fun playing out your sexual fantasies!

9.     Try Restraints

Being restrained adds an exciting sexual stimulant and if you’ve been with your partner for a while, it’s the perfect way to spice things up a little in the bedroom.

Everyone is different and whether you like the feel of soft leather, furry restraints or a more extreme restraint – try tying your partner up with a few different types to find your happy medium.

And always be safe.

10.  Play Games

Play something a little more interesting than Monopoly or Twister and invest in some sexy adult board games….sure to set pulses racing.

Perfect for sexy nights in when cash is tight through January, we can’t think of a better way to have fun this New Year!

11.  Have some Training – Together

Take some time out together to review your sex life and look at ways you can improve it with a little professional help, but in the comfort of your own home!

This clever DVD explores how to increase the intensity of your orgasms, get your partner involved, develop your fantasies, use sex toys together and enhance the whole quality of your love life. Topics include; instant orgasm, orgasms and fantasy, orgasms and sex toys, tantric sex.

12. Be Romantic

There are so many ways to be romantic, why not push the boat out and make your room extra special one evening with some rose petals?

50 SHADES EFFECT IS IMPROVING UK’S SEXUAL HEALTH

The boom in sex toys sales is helping to fund vital sexual health projects!


This year the predicted Christmas boom in sex toy sales will be doing more than spicing things up in the bedroom!

Each time a sex toy is purchased through www.desireandpleasure.co.uk – the fantastic social enterprise initiative launched by FPA in September 2012, the charity and their vital sexual health projects benefit.

This is because all money raised via www.desireandpleasure.co.uk, is helping to fund a number of projects, including providing training courses for specialist advisors who then go on to offer sexual health services, often free of charge, within their local communities.

FPA estimates that for every 20 vibrators it sells on the website (or equivalent value of other products from its wide range of sex toys) the charity can fund the training of one of these advisors.

Terry Hawkins, Business Development Manager, for FPA says, “Our mission is to give straightforward information, advice and support on sexual health, sex and relationships to everyone in the UK.

There is an urgent need to fund better access to such support as this is one of the areas of public health spending where government funding is being cut.

It seems appropriate that the rapidly escalating consumer demand for sex toys, in part fuelled by the success and media interest in novels like 50 Shades of Grey, help us to meet this gap in funding”

All profits from the sale of products from www.desireandpleasure.co.uk go to fund the work of FPA.

If you want to learn more about the work of FPA you should visit FPA’s website.
