Heaven Come Eleven

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

eleven1O! How we do love the Njoy oeuvre! Shall I wax poetic of my Pure Wand once more; or tell you how my coworker coos over the Mars Plugs; or how our Seattle shop consistently sells out these shiny steel beauties? The reasons that we pant and clamor for Njoy products are numerous: their immaculate design is obtained via state-of-the-art 3D modeling software, yet they maintain a minimalist charm. The material itself is body-friendly, durable, and easy to disinfect; it both holds temperature (warm or cool) and transmits vibration like a charm. And as for the heft, smooth finish, firmness, and curves? The sum of these parts results in la crème de la crème of p- and/or g-spot stimulation.

When I saw Njoy’s Eleven pop up on Babeland’s homepage, I did a little jig in front of my laptop. During my walk to work, there was an added spring in my step; heck, even the late-July drizzle (something I’d normally abhor) did little to dampen my spirits. Unlocking the shop door, I half-anticipated angels’ song and trumpet fanfare. I at least hoped for the lustrous gleam of brand new steel. Alas and damn, I was denied on all counts.

“Where is it?” I unbecomingly simpered to our store manager.
“It should be here by the end of the week.”
I pouted in response.
Then he uttered a phrase that must be poised on many lips: “I can’t wait to get my little hands on it.

No shrinking violet, the Eleven lives up to its moniker. That’s eleven full inches of stainless steel we’re gazing at, my sweets. Weighing in at a respectable 2.75 pounds (the engineers actually hollowed it out), the Eleven boasts Njoy’s trademark curve, two plump heads (of 1.75” and 2” in girth), and glorious ridges for added sensation and thrills. A size queen’s wet dream, the Eleven will take penetration (vaginal or anal) to phenomenal new heights or give you a Kegel workout that’ll leave you panting.

I’m champing at the bit for this beauty’s arrival in store, even though I’m sure it won’t remain in the display case for long. Apprécier le parfait onze!

The Great Strap-On Experiment

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

rompAfter seeing this on Fleshbot and the Daily Bedpost, I just had to write about it. A very nice sounding man in the New York City area is looking for a little strap on love and has been having a hard time finding a willing participant. Apparently, these recent posts have turned up over 4,000 visitors to his site but only 2 e-mails! He sounds like a great guy looking to try something new and different in bed. I figured that any number of Babeland readers might be the smart, sexy, adventurous woman this guy is looking for since I meet awesome women in our store every day who would be perfect. Check out the Great Strap-On Experiment and see if you’re the one!

In the meantime, here are some toys I would suggest for this daring man and his eventual partner:

Let’s start with Lube – the first, and most important part of ass-play. I love Maximus because it’s nice and thick providing a gentle coating to anything going in the ass. Babelube or a nice Silicone lube also work very well.

havanaButt plugs are a great way to start out. The Little Flirt and the Havanna vibrating plug are both excellent beginner toys. If prostate stimulation is desired, then the Pro-Touch is perfect. If you’re feeling fancy, then the Pure Plug and the Romp are prostate lovers paradise.

There are also some fantastic dildos starting with the smallest, cutest dildo there is – the Silk 1. For those looking for a medium sized beginner dildo, I recommend the Mistress – the length gives the wearer more control but it’s still long and smooth (and there’s a vibrating option!). Later on, when more girth is desired, there’s the thick and hearty Buzz.

rippleLet’s not leave out the anal beads. I prefer the single mold silicone style starting with the Ripple (an excellent beginner toy) and moving to the Flexi Felix when a little more sensation is required. Experienced types might like the Bendy Beads. Oh! And let’s not forget about the Flip.

Last but not least, harnesses. Whether you’re looking for functional like the Joque, plain like the Undercover, classic like the Terra Firma or the hot new Jaguar, you basically can’t go wrong with any of these harnesses. They’re comfortable and sexy.

Phew! We’re almost done. I always recommend reading about what you’re about to do before you do it so the Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Men, the Ultimate Guide to Strap-On Sex and our own How-Tos are a must:

If you prefer to get your education via porn, then Bend Over Boyfriend is a classic. We even have a Porn + Toys combo that gets you Bend Over Boyfriend plus a strap on and two dildo kit.

Ok. I’m really done now. I wish the Great Strap-On Experiment the best of luck!
