Now that’s MORE FUCKING LIKE IT! For those who’ve watched this “drama” unfold, you’ll know that about two months ago I started jabbering on about the ultimate male masturbation utility, the Tenga Egg, and its uncanny ability to be just about ten times as awesome as using your hand. You know, like using God’s hand… (Ooh, that could get emails.)  Then I hoped to repeat my experience with the Tenga Double Hole Sleeve and my hopes and dreams were dashed that I’d finally found a company that understood jacking off with accessories. The Double Hole Sleeve was pre lubricated, and…

Short bleached blonde hair, that type of dye job that’s intentionally obvious. A curvy body, real woman curves, with boobs and hips, no ribs or clavicles showing. When she catches my eye, she’s coming down the stairs where I work. She’s looking around, she’s notably by herself. “You look lost,” I say. “Story of my life,” she returns, the kind of obvious cliche flirtatious response that just gets right to the core me. She asks me a question of directions, one that I can only guess the answer to, smiles at me, then moves off to her destination successfully. A…

For a while, at the beginning of this website, there were new anal toy reviews from me pretty consistently, and I became known around the staff as the guy who’ll review the anal stuff. I don’t mind this. But it’s been a while since I’ve had anything new to play with, so I was very happy when The Adult Toy Shoppe sent over a set of Vibrating Erotic Symphony Anal Beads by Cal Exotic. I’ve had vibrating toys in the past, but never vibrating beads, so I looked forward to seeing what this would be all about. When I opened…

Very psyched about something that Kidder from Sex is Fun pointed out to me, Life on the Swingset is now #9 in the Sexuality section on itunes. Booya!  We broke the top ten in only ten episodes. With of course special thanks to our good friends at Sex is Fun for helping us with a little boost. Beyond that, we just recorded what I think might be my favorite episode so far, talking about Bediquette. We also have a new friend climbing up on the Swingset podcast with us, Ginger from Ginger and the Professor.  Here’s to moving up further…

This is hardly a blog post, but I saw this and had to comment. So I’ve been raving about these Tenga Eggs for about a week now, and I was exploring various places to buy them and found them on Amazon. Not surprising… What was surprising was their recommendation. Ok…so I haven’t read the books by Steig Larsson…but I don’t think they’re really the ideal material to go along with the eggs…what do you think?

Ahh, Tenga…you raise my hopes and then dash them to pieces. Last week I discovered the Tenga Egg, and quickly proclaimed it to be my new favorite masturbation accessory due to its low low price compared to my previous playmate the Fleshlight and its stunning ability to be like my hand, only moreso. So when Babeland offered to send me another in Tenga’s male masturbator line I jumped at the opportunity, for if their most inexpensive product could WOW me like that, just think of what would happen with more wacky Asian ingenuity and a slightly higher budget. Enter the…

I’m not easily surprised anymore. Generally, if a toy looks like it’ll work for me, it tends to work for me. Not that I let my prejudgement effect my testing at all. But it’s often rather easy to judge a toy by its appearance as cheap looking toys tend to perform cheaply, and impressive looking toys…well, you get the drift. But the Tenga Egg Masturbator, well, this was something I definitely shouldn’t have judged by its appearance. Not that there’s anything wrong with its appearance at all. In fact, the Tenga Egg is very interesting. It comes packaged in a…

I’ve noticed that most sex books either sound like a textbook, or like Cosmo. They’re either talking about insertion of the penis into the vaginal canal, or thrusting his manhood into her…something girly. It’s boring or insulting, take your pick. Often the textbooky ones have no pictures, maybe some illustrations heavily annotated and captioned with words like vas defrens. (Often not even words LIKE vas defrens.) The ones that lean towards the supermarket “23 ways to please your man” articles are filled with uber beautiful people in positions and situations and locations that I couldn’t possibly live up to, reproduce,…

Just wanted to mention an article from across the pond about Britain’s “oldest” swingers. At 75, they’re still going and just joined a swinger website. Doing it for over 30 years and still going strong. I raise a glass to them! Britain’s oldest married swingers are celebrating 30 years of ”total and utter hedonism” and are stilling enjoying partner-swapping parties – aged in their 70s. Retired Ian and Jean Smith – dubbed the ‘King and Queen of the Swingers’ – have taken part in more than 300 ”wild” sex parties since the 1970s. The couple, who have eight grandchildren, say…
