We’re midway through February, and you know what that means, right? National Condom Day, of course! What – did you think overpriced five-course meals and ugly heart-shaped jewelry were the only ways to celebrate February 14th? Not so, my amorous amigos and amigas. National Condom Day is a holiday that’s been alive and kicking since…
Did you know that France’s hottest-ever export has never had a French name? And no, we’re not talking about baguettes. The French kiss finally has a French name – something it has never had before. ‘Galocher’ is the new term for tonsil hockey, and has been added to the 2014 edition of the Petit Robert…
“God is a Woman” sang Arianna Grande with her remarkable single in 2018. Her attempt to tap into the history of a female God brought about some borderline blasphemy by religious communities, along with some interesting questions. From the boardroom to the sports field, women are laying claim to their inborn privilege. And yet, there’s…
Working for a sexual wellness company sometimes has its perks. For example, you get to spend a couple of hours consulting astrology websites and researching personality traits of the signs of the zodiac . Whether you believe in this, or not, it’s a fun way to present the products and judge if a certain toy…
Why would a new year mean a new you if the current you is already awesome?! Instead of focusing on all the things we want to change about ourselves (we know, change is great!), let’s take a minute to reflect on all the things we’ve loved and learned from this past year. Part of moving…
Winter weather brings us steamier sex? New research suggests that men have a higher sex drive during winter months. Now we can stop complaining about the cold and start reaping its benefits. In a recent study published in The Psychology of Human Sexuality, 114 men rated their perceived attractiveness of two sets of photos –…
December 1st marks World AIDS Day, and while many people don’t think they relate to this holiday, it’s a day we should all be celebrating– whether that be celebrating our friends living with AIDS or celebrating the long way science has come in educating us about this disease. A lot has changed, but that doesn’t…
While getting revenge on an ex partner or lover way back when constituted sleeping with their best friend or spreading negative rumours, today’s technological world has called for a new kind of revenge… that is, revenge porn. It’s easier than ever to do, and leaves the victim with irreparable effects, including embarrassment, humiliation, anger, depression,…
It’s nice to be nice, don’t you think? Doing things for others without an ulterior motive really does boast great empathy and kindness. Not to mention how lovely it is to receive something special from… someone special! Unfortunately, in this particular scenario, there is definitely an ulterior motive. But that’s not to say that it’s…
Welcome to one of your new favorite holidays—and the perfect antidote to the early winter blues: Singles’ Day! What is Singles’ Day? Started in the early 90s, Singles’ Day began with Chinese university students deciding to celebrate their bachelorhood on 11/11, because the ones look like lonely people. (Hey, it makes about as much sense…
You can imagine what a beautifully crafted sex toy on the coffee table can do for conversation starters, but we know that that’s not for everyone. We’re not ashamed we masturbate, but sometimes we prefer to keep those intimate “self-love” sessions to ourselves. That’s why this International Sex Toy Day (November 4th) we’re going over…
Please tell me you also pictured the famous clay spinning scene from “Ghost” with “Unchained Melody” playing in the background? Or maybe you’ve heard about the woman who claims to have had sex with more than 15 ghosts and is currently trying to have kids with one? Not joking. What is Spectrophilia? Spectrophilia is the…
We’re not tricking you this Halloween, these comical sex stories are a real treat (and yes, they’re real!). Could You Fuck an Aristocrat? This guy seemed perfect. An academic painter, and to me, that was more than enough. I’ve always had a soft spot for artists with gentle souls. We went for a couple of…
Come one, come all to celebrate one of my all time favorite holidays – INTERNATIONAL FISTING DAY! October 21, 2019 marks the ninth year of this beautiful holiday, originally brought to this Earth by queer porn performers and activists Jiz Lee and Courtney Trouble . International Fisting Day is an annual celebration that brings awareness…
For centuries, Japan was deliberately closed off to the rest of the world, which helped create a firmly traditional, male dominant and morally strict society, quite oppressive to women and the lower class. Surprisingly enough, that did not necessarily imply they were sexually repressed, so behind the thin walls of their bedrooms they often led…
Today, October 11th, marks the 31st Anniversary of National Coming Out Day. How amazing is it to say that in our lifetime? The LGBTQ community has overcome heaps of obstacles, and even though there are more to go, I’m happy to witness and participate in this progress as an ally. While coming out is an…
As we come out of the other side of this year’s Sexual Health Week, we reflect and consider what has been achieved in the step towards developing a more sex positive culture and society, and this year it was so needed; the theme being Relationships, Sex & Disability. There are so many misconceptions about sexuality…
If you haven’t guessed by now, we are super sex-positive and all for you getting laid (if you want to, of course). Abstinence may be the way for some people, but we do know that those who want to have sex are probably going to have it. Sex can be really amazing, but it is…
Growing up in a heteronormative world can be super confusing for any of us. On top of that, bisexuality is this massive spectrum and while the logistics of that are a whole different topic on their own, a lot of people assume it’s simply a 50/50 attraction. Newsflash, nothing’s ever that simple. This Bisexuality Day,…

Why was the Amish girl excommunicated? Too Mennonite. Modern religion has a strained relationship with sex. Aside from a handful of relatively small sects that hold sex to either be a pathway to the divine, or to be divine itself, most major religions try to restrict and regulate our sexuality, in one way or another.…
Let’s be honest, oral in porn is actually super terrifying. It seems overly-aggressive and clear to everyone that the actors are… well, just that, acting. The A-B-C technique is sooo 90s. But we’re willing to make the claim that there are oral techniques that can be just as pleasurable as sex. Dare we say that…
Until midnight on Monday, September 9, 2019, $5 of every single order placed on lelo.com will go to the American Red Cross, to help with the relief efforts in the devastating wake of Hurricane Dorian.

LELO pleasure products aren’t cheap. It’s fair to say we’re often asked why that is. What justifies the price difference between a $50 sex toy sat on the shelf and the $100 LELO sat next it? It’s a fair question. There’s one short answer, and several longer answers. We’ll do the short one first, because…
In 2017, I was in Shanghai, and took the opportunity to swing by the Shanghai sex toy convention. It’s a little hard to quantify and I haven’t been to any of the US ones, but I suspect it’s probably the biggest in the world, hosted over two floors of Shanghai’s massive expo center. It was…
Am I the only one who frees myself from the prison that is pants immediately as I get home from work after a long day? There’s no better feeling, besides maybe orgasming or taking your heels off after a night of dancing. Founded in 2003, National Underwear Day is all about embracing body and getting…
The amount of variety in nature is mind-blowing. And weird. Have you ever seen a pangolin? It looks like a Pokémon or something, like, it shouldn’t exist in the real world. Some of these weird animal habits also shouldn’t exist in the world. Let’s take a look. Female Hyenas have sex through their clitoris All…
Banned in my therapy practice is the word ‘should’. So often I have conversations with people about what they think their sex lives ‘should’ look like, how often they ‘should’ be having sex, and the type of sex that they ‘should’ be having. But this isn’t unexpected when we think about the representations of sex…
Ok, let’s be honest, we all LOVE a good orgasm – it’s reducing stress, relieving pain, boosting confidence and even beating insomnia! Now, the equation is simple – the more orgasms you have, more relaxed and healthier you’ll be. That’s why you should consider trying to achieve more than one wave of pure joy and…
July is the best month of the year – it’s filled with sun, sea, cocktails, flings and romantic travels.

Fifty shades of hip hip hooray! It’s BDSM Day. And what exactly does BDSM actually stand for? Well, there are a few different variations, but here are the basics . B&D: bondage & discipline D/S: dominance/submission (and “switches” who engage in both roles) S&M: sadism & masochism A sadist is someone who receives pleasure by…
Personally, we think hand jobs are totally underrated and it seems like the Japanese agree with us. Today, we’re breaking down that stigma and elevating our pleasure game with a simple guideline that will get you through Hand Job Day with flying covers. I mean… colors. The word “onanii” means masturbation in Japanese, which is…
With a little historical research, we’ve discovered a timeline of sexual desires from notable royals from around the world. Although they existed throughout different eras, it’s clear that sex has been a pleasurable desire since the inception of time. It’s good to hear that our ancestors were just as frisky as we are. Queen Victoria…

In late 2014, the UK’s government made a decision that highlighted the fact that lawmakers are sometimes not the best people in the world to regulate sexuality. They tightened the laws on what is, and is not, ‘obscene’ – and therefore, what is, and isn’t, legal in porn production and distribution. While 10 sex acts…
Let’s face it – we all kiss, and prefer to be kissed, in different ways. It’s an artform of personal preference. There are people who use a lot of tongue, there are people who prefer lip teasing, and there are people who seek admiration through a peck. International Kissing Day has been an iconic British…
Pride month is upon us and the rainbow flag adorning everything from cakes to London buses is proud and prominent for all to see. But we need pride every day, not on just a dedicated month. For all of the steps forward that have been made, there are still so many more that need to…
Happy LGBTQ Pride Everyone! June is Pride month, which means not only a month-long celebration of everyone in the LGBTQA community, but also a time to reflect on the strides toward equal human rights that have been made, and what steps there still are to take.
