The G-Ki, and Why We Love It

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

I’ll just say three things to you, and then I’ll let you go ahead and watch this lovely video of Shannon explaining the G-Ki.

1)  Adjustable-angle  and lockable G-spot vibration.  (Did you get that part about the angle being adjustable?  As in, fully customizable to suit your needs?)

2)  Fully rechargeable and waterproof, with five speeds.

3)  Powerful vibration that works just as well on the clit as it does the G-spot (or both at the same time!).

Really, need I say more?  Watch the video, find your G-spot, and thank us later.  Done and done.

Rethinking Virginity

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Just when oil spills and attempted bombings and flooding start to get me down, I learn about a something really cool that’s happening in the world that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I recently learned about a conference that happened at Harvard a little big ago called Rethinking Virginity.

Rethinking what now? That’s right, virginity. And it’s high time it got some re-thinking. Just what would a conference like that talk about? Well, here’s what the organizers had to say:

Half a century after the sexual revolution, the concept of virginity remains as contentious as ever. While the sexual abstinence movement preaches in classrooms and college campus the dangers of premarital sex and “hooking up”, feminists decry scare tactics and “slut-shaming”. What are the religious, legal, and economic origins behind ideas of sexual purity? How does queer sexuality complicate the equation? Is a sex-positive vision of abstinence possible?

To give you an idea of how these questions might be answered, the conference had the following panels

Virginity: A Historical and Cultural Primer
Debunking The Virginity Ideal: The Feminist Response To Slut-Shaming & Sexual Scare Tactics
Healthy Sexuality: A Workshop?with
Popping The Queer Cherry: Virginity Loss, Marriage Norms, & LGBT Identity
Toward A Sex-Positive Vision of Abstinence

Lux from our dear friends at Fleshbot participated in the conference, moderating the Debunking The Virginity Ideal panel and speaking on the Popping the Queer Cherry panel. We asked Lux a few questions about the conference – read on to see what she had to say and please, tell us what you think. How would you answer the questions above? Why do you think virginity needs to be re-defined?

Moms: Get Your Sexy On At Our Brooklyn Workshop on May 19

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Glamour Magazine did a large survey of moms a few years ago and asked them, “If you had an extra hour in your day, what would you do with it?” Think about your own answer, then see what the survey revealed below. But if you’re a mom, and you can get to our Brooklyn store, come talk about it with me and some other moms at the workshop on May 19 at 7:30 titled “Keeping Your Sex Life Alive While Raising Kids.” I know we moms need to relax, which is why we’ll have a masseuse giving 15 minute massages from 6:30-7:30. And I know we need to save money so we can hire our babysitters, which is why this workshop is only $20.

Ok, now for the big reveal: when asked “what would you do with an extra hour in your day?”, a whopping 59% said “read a book, watch TV, or surf the Internet,” while only 10% said “make love.” Let’s chat ladies.  I wrote a book for Sexy Mamas, I’m one of the writers at the new Moms in Babeland blog, and I’ve got lots of tips to share!
