Our 2009 Sexy Holiday Gift Guide
With only a few precious days to go before Channukah ends and Xmas begins, you may want to throw a little naughtiness into your gift exchange. However, to avoid awkward moments (“What the HELL made you think I wanted a 12” flashing dildo?!!!”), we've compiled a list of can't-miss items that'll extend X-mas eve well beyond the kids' bedtime hour or the exhaustion following your last minute shopping splurge. BTW, if you decide to shop OUR adult online store, we are offering FREE SHIPPING on ALL orders through December 21st (and you can save an additional 10% off your order total by entering “sextoys” in the discount code field upon checkout).
More Bang, Less Bucks
Want to add some spice and keep your wallet nice? Shunga makes two great products – Dragon Virility Cream ($21.95) and Divine Oral Lip Gloss ($21.95) – that heat up your intimate areas while encouraging tongue exploration. Packaged in gorgeous glossy black boxes, they fit neatly into your hanging stockings or discreetly under your partner's pillow. If you're looking for an inexpensive vibrator to throw some buzz into your festivities, try the G-gasm g-spot vibrator ($20.00) or the Bottle Rocket ($19.85). Both are waterproof, powerful, and the G-gasm is angled to reach the g-spot region of her yoni with ease. For penetration sensation, we recommend the Amethyst Purple Acrylic Wand ($20.00), a sumptuous dildo fashioned for a lifetime of companionship. Of course, you might want to add a couples/female appropriate adult video to the mix, and we rarely leave our sheets dry after watching Caribbean Undercover ($12.95), Under the Covers ($19.95), Secrets ($12.95), or Search for the Snow Leopard ($14.95).
Tease Him, Please Him
Unfortunately, the masculine gender hasn't had much to cheer beyond pornography and cheesy love dolls; however, this is slowly changing as the industry figures out HE can be turned on by pleasure items of many sexy varieties. One example is the maturation of the venerable cock ring. Once a mysterious device used to extend performance, cock rings now come in a number of different materials, from rubber to metal to wood and everything in between. We're partial to stainless steel, with the best rings made by Gear Essentials ($29.50-$95.00). Begun as a braille company over 50 years ago, Gear stumbled upon the idea of manufacturing metal cock rings after one of their more outspoken owners happened to break one made of rubber. We also manufactur our own line of Lucite rings ($20.00), composed of materials meant to avoid airport detection scanners and embarrassing situations.
Anal play has also gained in popularity for males, with the side benefit of better prostate health along the way. Texas company Aneros $48.00-$75.00) is the best solution here, with insertion devices designed to fit a wide range of needs and stimulation purposes. Click here to see a nice selection of anal plugs, prostate massagers, and anal beads.
Finally, don't forget the ever expanding category of male self-pleasure, with all manner of masturbation sleeves, lubricants, creams, and supplements to enhance that private time.
Extra Naughty, Extra Nice
Of course, there are times when giving the gift of orgasm trumps even the nicest diamond (in our case, EVERY time), so if you have a modest budget to heighten his or her sensuality, you certainly can't go wrong with elegant Lelo Nea and/or Gigi clitoral vibrators ($75.00 and $119.00). We are also partial to the irresistable Fun Factory Layaspot ($59.90) and Patchy Paul II ($65.90). Both are made of 100% medical-grade silicone and are German engineered to last through years of intense oohs and aahs. For dildos, look no further than the fine products of San Diego manufacturer Tantus, who combine elegance, performance, and quality into each and every item emerging from their warehouse. We absolutely love their Alumina Motion ($89.95) and Curve dildos ($49.00), the latter of which is compatible with almost any harness if you're looking for lesbian or “bendover boyfriend” play. For the ultimate in beauty and g-spot stimulation, we recommend the Njoy Pure Wand, a heavy metal art piece that gave us our first female ejaculation experience.
In closing, we are very much looking forward to a modest, yet loving holiday season and will be staying around to enjoy our renowned SoCal weather, visiting with friends and family locally, and finding a few minutes here and there to surf, skateboard, and hang with our energetic 11 year old every chance we get. We wish everyone in LA and beyond, including the amazing staff at the LA Weekly, a very joyous and safe X-mas, New Year, and beyond.
