G-spot o’rama

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

crystalgAh, the nice little coincidences in life. This weekend I spent a lot of time in our Mercer street store talking about the G-spot. I mentioned the Orchid G and the Power G (two of my favorite toys) and we also talked about my favorite book on the G-spot.

Later that day, I was reading Fleshbot when what should appear but this fantastic review of a glass g-spotting toy. Not only are these toys beautiful but they’re functional and long lasting too! What a great combination. I love glass and hard plastic for g-spot toys because they’re nice and firm. We usually think that putting something that hard in us will hurt. In fact, the vagina is a really flexible muscle that will accomodate alot of things and as long as you don’t move too fast, you’ll be alright. In fact, the G-spot often likes a really firm pressure, so glass and plastic toys are just the thing.

I think the main reason I like talking about the G-spot is that I also get to talk about the clitoris. Because the clitoris has roots that run back into the body, it actually touch the g-spot. So, the clit and the G-spot are actually working together for our pleasure. It’s pretty great! And, g-spot and clitoral orgasms combined can be a whole new world of pleasure for many people – it’s worth checking out.

To learn more about the g-spot, check out our great g-spot how-to or sign up for the g-spot workshop in New York on September 24th. You can also check out our fantastic website – The G-spot Center. And of course, you can always grab a great book or call us to find out more.
