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…

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…

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…

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…

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?…

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.

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…

Pleasure can be meditative , and Freya Haley takes us on a journey of self-discovery and love. ACTIVATE Put your hands on your lower belly (otherwise…
Like everyone else these days, she sets aside special alone time for porn. Quality time spent buck naked, fueled with a snifter of cognac, dimmed lights and throbbing music to keep time with the rhythm of her slender fingers, tapping on the trackpad, navigating from image to image, or scrolling through a particularly long and…
Ok, let’s be honest, we all LOVE a good orgasm – it’s reducing stress, relieving pain, boosting confidence and even beating insomnia!

July is the best month of the year – it’s filled with sun, sea, cocktails, flings and romantic travels. But the best thing about this summer month is definitely its end, to be precise, 31st of July when we’re celebrating National Orgasm Day and with it female ability to enjoy climax many times over during…
Blowjobs and cunnilingus can get a little boring for the person performing it. That’s the ugly truth that not many of us would admit. After a long session, your mind can wander and your jaw can begin to ache, and no matter how much you love doing it, sometimes it can feel a chore. So…
Masturbation: already pretty good. So goes the bumper sticker that should definitely be available in truck stops worldwide. Why? Because it’s absolutely true. Jerking off is a reminder that someone up there likes us, because it’s the most fun you can have while still remaining on the right side of the law. But what if…
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…
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK! I turn on the doorbell camera and see it’s Katie. I run to the front door and open it to let her in. “Hey girlie, what are you doing here?” I ask both excited and confused to see her. “I know you hate bad weather and you’re home alone, so I thought…
LELO’s team of enthusiastic experts pulled together a short visual rundown of the most common (and the most ridiculous, obviously) euphemisms we use for sex and masturbation. Brace yourselves, it’s going to be a wild toss in the hay (also a euphemism). Lest we forget, Shakespeare wrote about making the beast with two backs way…
Julian picked up the box of Tampons I had bought. “Unscented”, he smirked, and then added, “Well not for long.” So very easy for him to press this white-hot button. And so typically callous. I was finally through with him. However, the holiday season gave me an excuse to invite him out for a forgiveness…
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…
To be honest, my parents never gave me the sex talk. One time (in my early twenties), my dad told me sex was like hitting a piece of metal with a hammer, and I’ve been all too curious about their, and everyone else’s, sex lives ever since… which is probably how I ended up writing…
In 1995, the British writer Christopher Hitchens wrote an essay called the Missionary Position. It was an absolutely searing tear-down of an unlikely victim: the Catholic nun, Mother Theresa. It’s a brilliant and brutal analysis of her life and deeds, and mostly, of the media’s reporting of her. But the fact that Hitchens chose this…
He had spent the previous 50 minutes focused intently on his 4:30 patient, the last of his day. She was a recently divorced local socialite, quite attractive in a far more made up way than he preferred. They had been working together for nearly a year to disentangle her from a miserable marriage that fortunately…
In may not be your birthday, but it’s time to put on your birthday suit. Today we’re celebrating National Nude Day by going bare and exploring new things about our bodies.

She put away her cell phone, feeling warmly towards her wonderful handsome husband as his concerned words echoed in her head.
