Toys in TV Land

Monday, March 10th, 2008

lwordI have a confession to make: I watch The L Word. Not only do I watch The L Word, but I watch it somewhat obsessively. Now that it’s out, you can admit that you watch it, too; and perhaps like myself, you have noticed the absence of sex toys over the years. Oh, there was that one instance some years back where a confident Alice and a rather skittish Dana purchased a harness and dildo; but the memory wanes as that too-brief vignette was replaced with episode after episode of hot tribadism, fingers, and mouths. That’s all fine and good, but what happened to the toys? Were Alice and Dana a mere flash in the pan? Would we ever enjoy the sight of leather and silicone again? The questions lingered until last night, when fashionable Jenny gifted her starlet lover with the Annie O harness and a sumptuous silicone dil. Not only were the new accoutrement presented in a playful and open manner, but savvy Jenny even remembered the lube. Needless to say, I’m pleased as punch to see high-quality toys making sexy scenes all the more steamy. Here’s hoping The L Word will continue with this exciting new trend in Sunday night television!

Fleshbot Reviews the Form 6

Monday, March 10th, 2008

form6I haven’t had a chance to try the Form 6 yet so I always enjoy reading what other people say after they’ve taken it for a test drive. Although we do send toys to Fleshbot to review, I know that the reviewers will be honest about toys that didn’t work very well for them. I really appreciate hearing both the good and the not-so-good things about a toy. Sometimes, if we hear the same thing from enough people, we’ll stop carrying the toy. Other times, we can figure out how to help people who are having a similar problem.

But that’s besides the point - you’re here to read about the Form 6, so here are some of my favorite parts of the review:

With its two curved ends and wide grip, the Form 6 looks more like a lady razor than a sex toy. But no lady razor I’ve ever come in contact with has gotten me off this good. The body of the Form 6 conformed nicely to my curves, one end resting on my clit as the other arched to reach my labia, guaranteeing maximum stimulation—aided especially by the fact that the two ends of the vibrator are independently controlled. Yes, it’s that high tech.

The Form 6 has three buttons: one to determine the pulse pattern, one to set the intensity of the small end’s vibrations, and one to set the intensity of the large end’s vibrations. Worried you’ll find the perfect get-me-off settings, only to forget them in an orgasm-induced haze? Never fear–the Form 6 is smart enough to remember what you like. Turn it off when it’s in your favorite mode, and it’ll still be there the next time you turn it on.
