Here are some links I’m enjoying reading this week:

Audacia Ray loves the hot new Njoy toy, the Eleven (more about this toy soon!)
Violet Blue is just as excited about our wine tasting (and SaSi) event on Thursday as we are!

Cinekink is back in New York with film shorts

Always Aroused Girl has a new short, but very sweet (and hot) piece of erotica up

I love these condom ads from China just in time for the Olympics (thanks, RH Reality Check)
This study about men getting happier as they age (thanks, Frisky!) contradicts something I heard earlier this week that said that elderly men are grumpier than elderly women. Hmm… thoughts?

The SaSi, Babeland’s newest adventure in Sensual Technology, is almost here. If you’ve been waiting with baited breath to see this toy in action, Thursday night is the night. You’ll be able to see the SaSi demonstrated at an erotic wine tasting event being held at our Soho location. See it in person before it’s available in the store!
Does anything go better than wine and sex toys? Probably not. Both are sleek and sexy, look good in your hand, have great packaging and encourage connoisseurs. This Thursday, August 31st, at our Soho location, Perfect Palate will be co-hosting a wine tasting with Babeland.

We’ll have awesome wines paired with cheese and chocolate and you can enter to win a Babeland gift bag to take home. Other fun surprises include:

• 10% off all of your purchases during the event (if you missed the sale, this is your chance)
• Tutorial on the hot new We vibe
• Music from Brown Rane

Sounds like it’s going to be a great event. You have to get tickets at Perfect Palate so book them now if you want to come because we can’t do any last minute booking through our stores.

There’s nothing like buying sex toys on sale. I love getting a good deal – I remember it every time I use the toy and get an extra feeling of happiness inside. If you live in New York or Seattle, you’ve already missed our in-store sales – they were last weekend. But, it’s not to late to get some fabulous stuff online. Some favorites of mine include:

The Babeland Nubby G: This toy is a take off on the classic Nubby G but without any phthalates. It’s so easy to use and has a great range of vibration and a large head that’s great for G-spotting. With the sale, it’s only $20.00 which is a great deal.

You can also get the Nexus Glide, one of a new breed of prostate stimulators. The Nexus has the same basic function as the Aneros – stimulating the prostate both internally and externally – but the Nexus has a fun ball bearing to rub across the prostate and I hear that it feels fantastic.

My other favorite sex toy on this list is the Babeland Aqua Wand. So many sex toys out there today have all sorts of bells and whistles but the Aqua Wand is simple and effective. The slim shape makes it an easy vibrator for insertion and the push-button controls are simple to use. Plus, as I’m sure you guessed from the name, the Aqua Wand is water resistant. On sale it’s only $16 – perfect if you’re on a budget.
