Headphones: A New Twist on Sensory Deprivation

photo by SS.ma You know the basic idea of sensory deprivation, right? You limit one or more senses, and the others gets stronger.

Is That a Lipstick in Your Pocket, Or Are You Just Really Happy?

image via Lelo A lot of the so-called “discreet” sex toys out there don’t exactly live up to their name. Sure, the I Rub My Duckie doesn’t look like a vibrator, but then you’ve still got to explain to your visiting aunt why, past the age of four, you keep a rubber duckie in your […]

A Commemorative Royal Wedding “Ring”

Dubious Product of the Week: Woody Wipes

“I think you guys would love Woody Wipes,” went the email we received this week. “We are helping women around the U.S combat musty balls.” Um, yeah.

A Blue Xmas Without Mojowijo

It was supposed to be available in time for the holidays but, alas, Mojowijo won’t be out until the new year — to the great disappointment, we imagine, of sexually frustrated tech geeks who don’t get much sunshine in their basements. If you haven’t figured it out by now, Mojowijo is a teledildonics device. It […]
