Flying solo this V-Day? Well, Summit Bar in NYC has a party just for you, whether you’re interested in men, women, both men and women, or a man and a woman! It’s whatever you feel like, for the Single or Whatever Party this February 14th at 133 Avenue C in Alphabet City. The bar will also be offering His and Her punches. Her punch is made out of a Damiana infusion, which is a Central American plant used for arousal, combined with Russian vodka, Vietnamese cinnamon, pineapple and vanilla bean. His punch is made out of a Korean ginseng infusion, combined with Chipolte chili, tequila, fresh lime, and misted with a house-made pheromone.

Want to try your hand at a romantic cocktail from home? The mixology geniuses at Summit Bar gave the Babeland Blog this sexy elixir, just for Babeland’s blog readers:

“The Jimmy Jane”

- 2 oz. St. Germain

- 1/4 oz Aperol or Campari

- Top with Prosecco or Champagne

Serve in a wine or champagne glass and enjoy your Valentine’s Day, be it solo, with a partner or your friends. Cheers!

It’s that time of year again, for the 9th annual XBIZ Awards! Originally founded in 2003 to recognize the contributions of the online adult industry, the awards currently honor the work of “the most influential companies and performers who play an essential role in the growth and popularity of adult entertainment around the globe.” And much like at the AVN Awards, the sex toys are as much the stars as the companies and performers are! Congratulations to all the Babeland favorites who have won: Digital Playground (Best Studio of the Year), Wicked Pictures (Feature Studio of the Year), Speed (Feature Movie of the Year), Tommy Gunn (Male Performer of the Year), Kayden Kross (Female Acting Performance of the Year), JimmyJane (Luxury Toy Manufacturer of the Year), LELO (Excellence in Product Packaging), the Form 3 by JimmyJane (Luxury Toy of the Year), and the Cobra Libre by Fun Factory (Innovative Product of the Year)! It’s great to see sex toys get the same stage time as the porn stars they please. Looks like companies like JimmyJane, Lelo and Fun Factory (not to mention JeJoue, a big winner at the AVN Awards) have elevated sex toys to the same level as their amazing co-stars.
