By now, most of us have been impacted in one way or another by the coronavirus, and the disease it causes, COVID-19. Either we’re working from home, we’re in isolation or quarantine, we know someone who’s had it, or we’ve had it, or a million other ways that this thing is reshaping society. With all…
It’s easy to assume that men and women think about sex differently. But is that really the case? As it turns out, no it’s not the case. Or at least, it’s not the full story. There are differences. For example, whether gay, bi, or straight, men tend to respond automatically to specific body parts they…

When we think of marriage, we generally think of two people dedicating themselves to the commitment to each other for life. But is that really the way it’s supposed to be? Marriages and relationships haven’t always looked like this. In the past, and to this day in some cultures, marriage looks entirely different, sometimes with…
Have you noticed that the world is changing every day but condom technology has remained the same, until now? LELO is the first company to try and improve condom technology with their hexagonal pattern that allows prime thinness without compromising any strength. It also comes in two sizes: the HEX and HEX Respect XL .…
So important are words to our understanding of the world that, according to the Big Three religions, in the beginning was the word. They can tell us so much about the storied histories of our everyday speech, and studying them can offer insight into the deepest roots of a words meaning. Sometimes it’s most interesting…
What do we really know about male ejaculation? Sure, we’ve heard the expression, “I’m gonna come!” in movies and TV shows, and perhaps we’ve even heard it in real life (or something more like “Are you on the pill?” before they let rip. We also know that there’s sperm in semen … you know, the…
This article was scientifically fact-checked by Human Sexuality expert Dr. Laurie Mintz. Our lives are currently a contradiction of fears and anxieties like most of us have never experienced before. Fear about an invisible contagion that can be carried and transferred by strangers without their knowledge, and anxiety caused by having to isolate ourselves in…
Along with the improvements to design and function of our popular predecessors, we’ve now made all of our favorite best sellers fully-waterproof, meaning you can take these improved pleasures into the bath or shower with complete peace of mind.

From its inception in 1995, Masturbation Month has been adopted and practiced all over the world, ending on a particularly fitting crescendo on May 28th—Mastrubation Day. While it has become a light-hearted celebration of all things self-pleasing, the holiday was actually created on a more serious note after American Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders was fired…
Whether you follow the Chinese calendar, Gregorian calendar, or plan your entire year around summer vacation, we at LELO fittingly start the year off in Masturbation Month (aka May)! And if there’s anything this wild year has brought us, it’s a little too much time at home that has spurred some creative thinking. Our team…
We’re saturated by the thought that men are obsessed with how their penises are perceived. Penis jokes have entered our daily vocabularies. I only have to say ‘size matters’ and, by some magic process of osmosis, we all know I’m talking about dicks. One of the most popular articles on this very blog is about…
It’s a question most of us have either asked, or heard. “Did you come?” Three little syllables, loaded with so much subtext and complexity, and while we might be earnest if we ask them, we somehow understand there’s some kind of subconscious understanding that if the question needed to be asked, the answer should be…
We have entered week whatever and a year (yes, the official count) of lockdown, and it may be starting to get to you. If you are sheltering alone this time may feel surprisingly stressful. And if you are extra irritable or feeling lonelier than expected, you are not crazy! There are basic, biological reasons behind…
April 24th marks a holiday you may not have heard of, but you might already have everything you need to celebrate already tucked away in a drawer and reserved for special occasions. Well, sometimes an occasion calls for a special outfit, and sometimes a special outfit calls for an occasion—like Lingerie Day! What’s to Love…
Take any single item, memory, or activity for kids and there will surely be a dirtier, grown up version of it. Maybe when you were a child, your stuffed animal went everywhere with you. Now, your life is probably infinitely better when you take your favourite adult toy with you wherever you go. Dabbled in…
Rabbit vibrators are arguably the most versatile types of female sex toys. They can be used externally, internally, or a combination of both. Traditionally, rabbit vibrators were designed with a phallic shape and clitral stimulator attached to the shaft, but now, rabbit vibrators like INA 2 vs SORAYA 2 take this design to a new…
It’s only recently, in these last couple of decades, that we’ve been able to talk about sex. Until now, sex has been in the dominion of religion, and as such, cultural mores and taboos have overwhelmed the acknowledgment of sexual activity and its place in society. That’s no one’s fault in particular: before the advent…
Getting your heart broken is horrible, and unfortunately medicine has still not produced an overnight cure. Methods for getting over heartbreak can vary, but most can agree that embarking on a bender and then sending very regrettable text messages that alternate between trying to hurt and trying to reconcile with the heartbreaker is not the…
Alright, alright. I can already hear it: not the wedding bells for the next solo wedding, but the heckling. It’s coming from the comments section, and from trolls on social media. Sologamy, the art of marrying yourself, has long been the butt of many an anti-feminist joke. But if you can, just hear me out.…
Some could make the argument that we’re anal-obsessed – we certainly have written enough about anal sex over the years. But we still receive tons of fan feedback asking how to best go about anal sex in its various forms for various bodies, and so helping people get to the bottom (heh) of anal enjoyment…
Let’s be honest here: when it comes to relationships, long-term can be tough. According to Statista , the marriage rate per thousand people in the U.S. in 2019 was 6.9, a major drop from 9.8 in the 90s. You may be thinking, “Okay, that’s because people are busier, smarter, and have less societal or family…

Specifically, covered just enough, with the luxurious and stylish TUX . Intimate apparel for men that’s cheeky without being silly, read these reviews from people who…
Because all genders are created equally and sex is positively fantastic – there are two special days allocated for the sexual pleasure of both men and women respectively. What a fantastic time to be alive, right? So, while February 14th (aka Valentine’s Day ) is a magical 24 hours for those in love, March 14th…
Taste is arguably the most intimate of the five senses. Think about it—on any given day, we see so many people, we hear so many people, we (unfortunately) smell so many people, and even touch multiple people. We are so constantly bombarded by these sensory interactions—the multitude of faces encountered, the tone of that lady…
This article was scientifically fact-checked by Human Sexuality expert Dr. Laurie Mintz. Sarcasm aside, we invite everyone with female genitalia to take a sec and reevaluate their vocabulary when it comes to naming their bits. Even seemingly minor things such as names (although names are definitely not a small deal) deeply influence how the female…
This article was scientifically fact-checked by Human Sexuality expert Dr. Laurie Mintz. As the invisible virus keeps spreading globally, infecting people and transforming our reality into a new and unknown one, there is another virus threatening us – the virus of anxiety. To fight it, we must mobilize one of our basic survival mechanisms, and…
While foreplay, dirty talk, fornication, and sensual toys are sexy, the spread of STI’s and HIV is not. So, without trying to be a boner killer, the use of condoms is a conversation that simply needs to be had. Why? Because with them, we can all enjoy near risk-free sex which is the ultimate goal…
Polyamory is a relationship dynamic for people who practice non-monogamous relationships with the full and willing consent of all the partners involved. It’s nothing new, and in fact has formed the basis of many societies through history. It’s still the norm in a few cultures today, though in the West it’s generally consigned to religious…
This article was scientifically fact-checked by Human Sexuality expert Dr. Laurie Mintz. We’ve got no choice: This decade will now be defined by the only thing anyone has spoken about for weeks: the new coronavirus. When this period is studied in the future’s history books, it won’t be the advent of commercial space travel, or…
She closed the door behind her and looked around for a space to sit. As always, it was fairly busy and mostly filled with men. Nothing new but hey, she was just here to sweat it out for a bit after a stressful week. She found a space on a ledge and sat on her…

Okay so guys who are in the know will tell you that sex toys aren’t just for ladies. Sure, when you think of a pleasure product, what most comes to mind might be plastic penises and fake phalluses but that’s not even close to half of what’s out there. While the topic of sex toys…
It’s 2020 and how the world has changed! By now you are likely on some level of self-isolation, if not full-on “shelter-in-place” lockdown. Panic and doom dominate the headlines. Uncertainty rules. And the health news is focused on how to stave off the virus. But I’m here to share the good news. There is a…
Know the feeling when you have an itch in a hard-to-reach spot on your back, and you try everything within your power to relieve it? This involves rubbing the spot vigorously against a wall, grabbing a long stick of some sort, or even asking someone to help you out. And when you finally do rid…

We all have special and unique ways of getting ourselves off, am I right? Maybe the way in which you first made yourself climax was so amazing that you just decided to stick with that routine. Or maybe you’ve been on a sexual adventure to find new and innovative ways to experience ‘the big O’. …
Let’s face it: if it’s not fully charged, a sputtering sex toy can take a pleasurable experience from ‘nearly there’ to ‘nowhere close’ real quick. If you’ve ever been in the unfortunate position of having a sex toy that doesn’t have enough juice with no way to charge it, then that’s probably why you’re here…
According to Gorge Carlin, “If god had intended us not to masturbate, he would have made our arms shorter.” A recent representative survey of 6000 14-94 year old US citizens found that virtually all of them had masturbated at some point. That should be no real surprise: it seems to be a fact we know…
The current situation is enough to make anyone go crazy.

The single biggest obstacle people face in the bedroom is being too much in their heads — because that’s what’s behind basically every other sexual issue. If you’re thinking or worrying during sex, this can lead to difficulty getting aroused, orgasming , and truly connecting with your partner. If this is an issue you’ve been…
I recently came across a kink known as somnophillia, or sleep kink. I’ve written extensively about all kinds of kinks in the past, there isn’t a lot left out there that shocks me. Or makes me feel uncomfortable. But this kink seemed different. Somnophillia is a kink for a sleeping partner, or for somebody having…
An increasing number of countries worldwide are under various states of lockdown and quarantine due to the COVID-19 virus, including all of the European Union and significant parts of the United States. But being in a state of lockdown is no reason to freak out – remember all those times you wished you had some…
One of the life’s comical by-products is ones rose-coloured recollection – aided by blurred hindsight, glossed-over claims of imaginary “todger” length/girth, recalling how many occasions one gave pleasure and the inevitable blatant lie as to how long one kept the marathon “quickie” going. The oral pleasure received from ladies who had a natural and insatiable…
For the past month, and for what is sure to be a few more, the world has been occupied with COVID-19 (coronavirus). From stocking absurd amounts of toilet paper to thinking up the best 20 second songs to wash your hands to, it has been an interesting mix of panic and amusement as we come…
Birthday sex—there’s just something about the way those two luscious words roll off the tip of your tongue that makes you immediately think, “Yes, please.” Maybe it brings to mind the image of a sexy bikini-clad gal emerging from an extra-large, heavily frosted birthday cake, or maybe you hear Jeremih’s 2009 hit song of the…
