Men are simple creatures. That’s what makes us so complicated. We have a strained relationship with sex, us penis-havers. Growing up, I had a friend who could only get off by shutting his dick in the fridge door. He’s married now. Somehow. To a real human woman and everything, not to an Indesit upright refrigerator.…
I left my office after phoning Steve and went to the bathroom to clean myself up with the realisation that my boss had just used me for his pleasure without my husband’s knowledge and that I had agreed to be available to be used by the partners at the law firm as their slut, with…
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 face it, men are hard to shop for. If you’re having trouble picking out the perfect present, why not choose a gift that says you’ve got his pleasure on your mind? Because honestly, that’s a gift for everyone. While we’ve created this easy LELO gift guide, it will still get him hard and give…
We’re taking the pain out of shopping for your man and turning it into pleasure. We asked for suggestions from the ladies right here at LELO HQ, who shared their ideas of some special ways to give a gift that keeps on giving. Give Him a Show – Alma, Product Designer ‘I switch it up…
What is extreme sex? Well, extreme sex is…the truth is, we can’t really say. Or rather, what we think is extreme might not be extreme for other people. (And, conversely, a lot of what we consider ‘just another day at the office’ might be extreme for other people.) When it comes down to it, if people…
It’s not exactly a secret that we’re fans of feeling ourselves. Making love doesn’t mean that we need others to make love with. After all, self love is one of the best ways to connect with yourself and make you more in tune with your sexuality. Masturbation can even help you recover from heartbreak by…
These ten filthy sex memes will cause your boyfriend to either laugh or pop a boner. And there’s only one way to find out. Warning: You might even need to take a shower after these.

The following question came to my attention recently. It takes a little deconstruction. I just moved into a new shared house on a six-month contract with another girl. On my first day, there was a sex toy on the coffee table in the living room. I don’t know her very well yet, but if I’m…
I was never much of a dancer. I can bust some free-style moves on a nightclub dance-floor should the occasion call for it, but when it comes to slow dancing with a partner, I have two left feet. So when it came time for Chris, the best man, and I, the maid of honour, to…
By all rights, and by every metric, sex on a plane should be rubbish. There’s not enough room, you’re bending over a toilet that’s potentially been used by 40 strangers, and there’s probably a queue of increasingly uncomfortable people impatiently waiting for you to finish outside the 3 milimeter thick door. It shouldn’t be sexy,…
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. We’re running out of time. The media were slow to respond to the news of the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon,…
A question that LELO gets asked a LOT is this: If I use a sex toy before I have sex, am I still a virgin? Short answer: Yes you are. Go nuts. Happy fapping. Real answer: Have you lost your virginity if you’ve used a sex toy? No, you haven’t. But perhaps not for the…
Ready for a twist on traditional shared pleasure? TARA takes what you think you knew about couples’ massagers and turns it around! Worn inside the vagina during patnered penetrative sex, it not only lends big vibrations that can be felt by both partners, but also twists and turns internally for a sensation quite unlike anything…
A big part of preventive healthcare is checking in annually to see if everything is being taken care of. On September 4th, we’re utilizing World Sexual Health Day to remember that sexual health is also part of our overall well being. The thought of a physical or getting an STI (sexually transmitted infection ) test…
Many years ago, I started a new job at a well-established sex toy company, and was brought on because even back then I’d been doing it for a while. On my first day, I had a meeting with some of the directors and managers. One of them asked me outright, ‘so what does a cock…
September is here and so is your chance to reignite and intensify your passionate sex life. It’s a good reminder that giving can be incredibly rewarding, so get between the sheets and celebrate Pleasure Your Mate Month (which is guaranteed to offer you some pleasure, too) by trying something new. Finally, a sexual holiday that…
What do you think of when you hear the term ‘women’s erotica’? Is it a Danielle Steel novel filled with romance? Or perhaps a short story rife with emotion and sexual tension? Well, both of these examples are, in fact, women’s erotica, but the true meaning is actually a lot broader than you may have…
Just as important as we think pleasure is, we know it’s also important to thank you for reading along with us. We couldn’t do this without you, and we have so much fun being a part of such a diverse, inclusive, and real family. So thank you for 1. reading our blog posts, 2. coming…
OLGA is quite unlike any other LELO. Sure, it’s made of 24k gold but it’s one of our only non-vibrating sex toys. It uses delicate curves and edges to bring pleasure; one tip is pointed for deep satisfaction, the other flattened for G-spot and clitoral stimulation. Read the below reviews to see what people think…
Estimates vary from 3 to 7 inches, but vaginas are pretty tricky when it comes to nailing their size down exactly, simply because it changes so easily! Think of a vagina as an umbrella, rather than a tube. Normally ft it is folded in on itself, but has the ability to open up to accommodate…
It seems sometimes to me that as I get older, sex is just moving on without me. Every time I turn around, there’s a new fetish that I’m only just hearing about, or new and amazing sex toys that are just begging to be tried – and everyone knows about them but me. UNTIL NOW.…
There’s something about going through a particularly brutal breakup that makes you feel utterly and completely human. But also totally dead inside. What a combo, huh? My last breakup was—to put it lightly—a doozy (okay, who am I kidding, all of them have been absolute emotional nightmares). I’m great at falling in love, and terrible at…
Ejaculation and male orgasming are so closely connected that most people don’t think about them as separate things. But they are, and learning how to master the control over your ejaculation can open the door to sexual mastery that will provide the world of pleasure for you and your partner(s). What is the alternative to…
We know what you think, but we’ll stop you right there – you’re only half correct. Let us show you how going topless this summer can do more for you than just get rid of your tan lines. Ah, cleavage – it brings us such joy… Most of the time. Aside from being a source…
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…
When you were a teen and perusing the copies of Cosmo and Marie Claire at the grocery store tills, you might have scoffed at the blurbs about dealing with low libido. Sex was awesome! You couldn’t ever picture not being horny 24/7, and you would never find yourself in such a situation, right? Well, you…
*me, on the phone* Yeah hang on mom, yeah, look I’ll have to call you back, I need to write an article on whether or not there’s a penis bone. No it’s very urgent. Ok speak to you later. *hangs up* It’s a question that occasions the mind of many young boys at one point…
You may be familiar with the term ‘bondage’ and other acts that belong to the BDSM lifestyle , and you may well love the idea of practicing some of these erotic acts. But finding a play partner, or being with someone who is as open-minded and intrigued as you are, may be difficult. Fear not,…
As far as sexual positions go, there’s a lot to be loved when it comes to sex in the spooning position. On lazy mornings or at times when you and your partner are lying on the couch together streaming a show, spooning sex is one of those things that can organically come up, and we’re…
They showered briefly before making their way, one at a time to the bed. She took off her towel and slid under the silky sheets and waited for him. He emerged in only a towel, quickly drying off and then locking eyes. He made his way to the bed, slowly pulled the sheet of her…

They have pouches of pearls at one end balancing stylish metal rings at the other and these beautifully long…
I loved my life and I loved my husband but as the years went by my mind started wandering back to my experiences with Mark. I wouldn’t say I was dissatisfied as Steve and I had a healthy sex life. He was a very virile man. He knew I liked being spanked and pretending that…
It all started out with an interview with my boss about proposed office layoffs. My husband and I both worked for a large legal firm. He was a partner and I was EA to the Managing partner Rick. The company was successful but to further entrench their strong performance they were about to undertake a…
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…
Whips and floggers are a perfect kinky addition to sex – they can add arousing tickly touches to the back of your partner’s thighs or light stings with enough force. Have we piqued your curiosity? Available in red, purple or black, the SENSUA Suede Whip has soft and supple suede tassels, alongside the polished metal…

Sounds pretty awesome, right? Just don’t think anything on this list is dirt cheap. Sex furniture is an investment (with a guaranteed ROI).…
Dirty pick up lines – you know, clever phrases that are meant to make a prospective partner drape their arms over the back of your neck and yell ‘TAKE ME NOW!’ into the night air? Surely you know one or two just off the top of your head, but have you ever actually used one?…
We love using restraints – in many different sex positions! – but not all cuffs are created equal. The SUTRA Chainlink Cuffs are made from 100 % pure silk and luxuriously soft suede which add new style and sensation to your bedroom play whether you’re a casual cuff enjoyer or adding restraint to risqué role…
With the discovery of the telephone, people have been cashing in (and forking out) on phone sex for simple pleasures. Surely you’re familiar with those sexually explicit ads in the newspaper way back when? Or perhaps enticing posters in phone booths? And even though we’ve come a long way in terms of sex and technology…
Can we please start a petition to make everyday Female Orgasm Day? We should really take this day to 1. orgasm, and 2. talk to our girlfriends about orgasming. Why? You’d be pretty surprised how many women don’t know if they’ve ever orgasmed or not. And I think many of us can agree, when you…
What religious people call ‘spiritual,’ skeptics call ‘awe.’ It’s the same feeling, we just use different language for it, and since time immemorial, sex has appealed to both groups as spiritual and awesome respectively. I’ve certainly experienced sex as what tantric practitioners would call ‘spiritual,’ so tantra has long held some outside interest for me,…
More often than not, we’re given the freedom of choice – a seemingly endless amount of choice, tbh. Fancy white chocolate mousse for dessert? Sure. Do you like platform heels that have two buckles instead of one? Done! Are you dissatisfied with your mobile phone provider? Well, chances are, their competition is right next door,…
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…
Whether you consider yourself pretty kinky, or definitely vanilla, you and your partner may nevertheless be looking to add something a little different. Sensory deprivation is a fantastic way of taking a foray into new sexy territory; the idea is that by restricting one sense, others will become heightened. It also involves placing trust in…
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…
