Toy Review – Bound By Diamonds™ – Diamond “G”

Diamonds are MY best friends!

Last month I got the Diamond G from Cal Exotics! This awesome little gadget is not only pretty, but very useful! Truth be told, I never found a toy that I didn’t like. The great thing about this toy is the material and size. It’s small enough to travel, yet strong enough to deliver some much needed, stress-relieving Os! The velvety cote feel, black matte color, shiny crystals and easy push button control make this a nice addition to your toy box.

It is 4 1/4″ long and 1″ diameter with three functions of vibration and pulsation. The toy is intended more for G-spot stimulation, but it can be used as a c-spot stimulator or a nice little couple teaser. Word of caution – the Diamond G is not anal toy.

For females who want an appetizer before the main course, this will do the trick, however, if you are a pro player with toys, then you may want to look for something more powerful and versatile. Although, she’s waterproof, you don’t want to submerge her in the jacuzzi She’s delicate as she is pretty.

Overall, the Diamond G from Cal Exotic is a cute little vibe and will make a great bachelorette gift. Use with 2 AAA batteries.

These Boots are Made for….UK Store Chain Displays Sex Toys. “Bollocks” says Customers!

Boots Flagship Store on Oxford Street

Trojan…Durex…Lifestyles walk past the health and beauty aisle at a Wal-Mart, Walgreens, 7-Eleven or CVS and chances are that you will see one of these brands. Condoms and lubricants are a staple at such stores where families shop for toilet paper, pick-up prescriptions and stop for a Big Gulp. Even in Merry ole’ England, Boots- the famous drug store chain (and one of my favorites) has even expanded to carrying sex toys in some of their brick and mortar stores. Granted Walgreens and Rite-Aid sell most of the relationship-enhancement products via online, but apparently seeing a toy on display is a wee-bit different than seeing it on your laptop. Consumer complaints have been burning up the Boots phone lines resulting from a Durex sex toy display at one of its 1200 shops. Parents’ are upset about the kiddies having to be exposed to such instruments of pleasure and then – GASP- having to explain what is their intended use.

Granted, I’m not a parent, but I do know a thing or two about sexuality and the importance of being able to have an open and honest discussion about sex with your children. Unless the preference is too say nothing and have MTV or the internet be the child’s sex educator.

You Glow, Girl!

Watch me glow!

The Lighted Shimmers LED Glide by Cal Exotic reminds of a glow stick. You know the kind, the stick that you buy at carnivals and concerts that light up when you break the middle. Well here’s a “glow stick” that will light up your face without having to be cracked. Once again, the people of Cal Exotic sent me this nifty naughty little number so that I may provide my $.2 cents. In short, (no pun intended), it’s a cool toy. It’s smooth, sleek, and made of hard plastic. Not to mention that it is a powerful, multiple-speed vibrator that lights up to an awesome luminescent LED. The little nubs provide a unique sensation and it’s waterproof! Use it in the shower, the tub, the jacuzzi, jacuzzi tub – whatever floats your boat. The Lighted Shimmers LED Glide is a great vibrator for both the novice and the adventure seeker. It’s fun to play with and fun to watch. Turn off the lights, turn on your mojo and watch it glow! Requires 2 AA batteries.

“One Butt Plug and Supersize it, Please!” A Review of TSX Toys.

A month and some change ago, I attend the XBIZ Retail Expo in Beverly Hills, CA. As a business owner, it was important for me to attend the conference for the workshops, and of course, the trade show where I score all the free goodies.

As I perused the aisles, I came across the TSX Toys table in the corner with some items that I had never seen. Talk about things that make you go “hmmm…..”. I proceeded to ask the very nice and outgoing woman manning the booth, Tia, what said-items were and she explained to me that they were penis extenders. But these weren’t just any old penis extenders. These were uniquely-designed. Tia, who happened to be the CFO, proceeded to give me an education on the penis extenders and other goodies that were on the table…And, here I thought I’d seen everything as a Human Sexuality student.

There were items that I said to myself, “OMG! I know THAT must hurt”. An butt plug with a base of 4.75″ thick and 8″ long! I told her that the butt plug would be a great item to display during my anal workshops. So she offered to send me “Jumbo” and a few other products to display at my workshops and to review.

Jumbo

"Jumbo" Name says it all!

The Jumbo Butt Plug is made of top grade Jelly PVC material, Phthalate-free and can be custom-ordered in any of 26 jelly colors available. It is very-well made and very flexible. It is a little on the heavy side, weighing just under 5 lbs. This toy is definitely for the advanced user. Not for the novice According to one customer who gave it 5 stars, he concludes by saying, “This is the SUV of plugs. Big. Handles well in curves, has comfortable seating and one low price.” I’ll take his word for it.

The Fireman Jr.

"Fireman Jr." Makes you want to dial 911!

This is one of more nicer realistic-looking dildos out on the market today. He’s 6.5″ inches and 2″ thick. He’s nice for a solo session or to partner with a strap-on. He’s made of PVC jelly and Phthalate-free. The Fireman Jr. is a great starter dildo. Place a cock-ring on junior and voila! You have a vibrating dildo. He’s definitely a winner.

The Pearl Pecker

"The Pearl Pecker". Check out this pearly white.

As a vibrator, this toy was a disappointing. Pretty to look at, but you can’t go on looks alone. The pearls got stuck and the vibrator never rotated, plus it was noisy. Now I know vibrators aren’t supposed to be deathly quiet, but you don’t want a 747 between your legs either. However, I will the clitoral stimulator was powerful, but with two settings. I would rather recommend the Fireman Jr with the added cock-ring. Unfortunately, the Pearl Pecker is not on my short list of recommendations.

Overall, the TSX Toys are pretty good. What makes them unique is that they offer private-labeling and can pretty much custom make any sex toy. Pick a color, component and style and voila! You got yourself a unique sex toy that no one else in the world has. To check out TSX’s catalog, click here.

The Buzz on XBIZ’s Expo

Evening Sojourners.

A few weeks ago, I went to my first-ever (and I think IT was the first-ever) XBIZ Retailer Expo & Conference in Los Angeles. For those of you who don’t know what XBIZ is, it’s an adult novelty trade publication covering adult industry news and developments in digital media and technology.

XBIZ

The conference targeted retail businesses and included seminars and vendors. Plus, it coincided with the organization’s annual awards – “New Starlet”, “Web Babe of the Year”, “Best Screenplay” (I had no idea porn had screenplays), “Best Art Direction” (again)….yada, yada, yada.

My goal was to attend the two seminars that focused on internet and e-commerce, to check out the vendor booths for new or upcoming products for Onjenoo, and of course for the same reason everyone attends trade shows – for the FREE schwag. I didn’t attend the awards show just in case you were wondering. So I couldn’t tell you who won the coveted “MILF of the Year” award.

The two seminars that I attended were okay. Most of what they covered I had already known. Nothing new there. So I trotted down to the vendor booths. As I perused the aisles, I saw, touched, smelled and tasted new products. I checked out some beautiful lingerie, tasted something called On by Sensuva, and got some free packets of Herbal Enhancers, and checked out some new toys from Hustler. However, the items that captured my attention were the Softcup, Lickwid Lube, TSX Toys, Papaya, and an organization called STFree that issues safer sex licenses. Since I never heard of these I had stop by and check them out. I got to know the reps, their products and received some samples to review.

The first product that I will be reviewing is the Softcup. These nifty little cups give a whole new meaning to term “no strings attached”.

So keep an eye out for my article later this week. You won’t want to miss this Café Onjenoo blog post as I’ll be giving away two sets of the Softcup.

Stay tuned….

Silva Sez: The Importance of Touching

Here’s this week’s Q & A from a fan of Onjenoo’s Facebook page. Oh! And if you haven’t “liked” us yet – what gives?

By the way, if you got a question relating to sex, sex toys, relationships, intimacy and all that jazz – drop me an email to ysilva@onjenoo.com or post it on our Facebook page. I’m always on there.

It's pretty EASY to ask Silva the Sexologist a question. Just ask.

Anywho, this inquiry comes to us from Tanya, who asks:

Question:
“Men are visually stimulated thats just a fact ….so any ideas on how to stimulate a man who is smoking hot…but blind?”

Silva Sez:
Hi Tanya,
Touch is the answer. It is a vital element in turning him on (just read about Tantra – it’s all about the power of touch). As you may know, when one sense is gone, the others are heighten to compensate. Touching builds that sexual charge, creates comfort and increases intimacy.

Something interesting, in college I took an American Sign Language course and the question of lovemaking came up – “How is love enjoyable when you don’t see your partner?” and the answer was touching. The visually-impared couple caressed each others hands, face, shoulders torso and genitals.

Touch is extremely important to the development of healthy babies. It is our first means of communication with our parents, especially our mothers, whom we stay [physically] close to during breastfeeding. Touch has been shown to give babies a greater sense of security, and to relieve anxiety.

As adults, within sexual relationships, touch is vital. Little things such as the tender caress of your partner’s arm and face or massaging his head will turn him on. Try incorporating it whether with your hands, lips, even hair—if it’s long, running it across your partner’s body You can caress and stimulate your partner, not only to create sexual arousal, but also relaxation.

So grab this hottie and drive him crazy with your sensual, sexy touches.

Xoxo,
Yvonne “Silva Sez” Silva
