How To Approach The Subject of Sex

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Brought to you by Guest Blogger Vicky Zhou.

Probably the single most uncomfortable topic when you are first starting to date someone is that of sex. Neither one of you knows how the other feels about it – how soon is too soon, how many partners this person has had in the past, what their preferences are when it comes to sex, and so on. It’s no wonder that many people are scared to broach the topic in conversation. Fortunately, as long as you adopt the good attitude and bring it up in a good way, you can overcome much of this awkwardness and get to the information you want to know.

Timing:

The first very important point to keep in mind is the time you try and bring up the topic of sex. Don’t bring it up while there is a lot of other stuff going on around you, as this is likely to just distract your partner and make them less receptive to having the conversation. Additionally, if you are wanting to know something like partner count or anything related to past sexual partners, do not, under any circumstances, bring this up while you are kissing or doing anything else physical. It will kill the mood in record time.

Tone of Voice:

The next important thing will be your tone of voice when you approach the subject. If you all of a sudden turn very serious or show a great deal of self-doubt with your words, this is not going to send the best of signals to your partner. You want them to know that you are comfortable discussing the topic so they themselves will become more comfortable also. The tone in your voice can really show a lot of what you are feeling so be very careful with this. You want to come across as sincere, but also keep a casual tone so they don’t feel as though they are being grilled for answers.

Get A Lead-In:

The next way to help improve the receptiveness of your partner to this discussion is to find a lead-in topic. This would be something that is not directly about sex but could be related to it. This way, after you have discussed this lead-in topic, then you can gently approach the topic of sex and with any luck, the conversation will flow in naturally. For example, if you want to discuss with a new partner what their thoughts are on having sex before marriage, you could bring up the topic of someone you know (you don’t actually have to know such a person) who has gotten pregnant without being married. Gauging your partner’s reaction to this could give you some indication itself on what their views are on sex before marriage, and then you could lead right into the question if it’s not clear enough. Obviously there is a clear difference between getting pregnant and having sex before marriage, as it’s very well possible to avoid pregnancy as long as protection is used, however, it still gets you going towards the direction of sex and will put the thoughts of the topic forefront on the mind making the transition easier.

Make Sure You’re Into The Relationship:

The final point to keep in mind is that it is important that you are relatively into the relationship before bringing up sex. While it likely is something that you want to discuss relatively early on, if you are just at the stage that you two have started dating or worse, if you aren’t even classified as officially dating yet, it may not be the right time to bring up the topic. While some individuals are okay with casual sex, most, particularly women, prefer to only be sleeping with those they are in a relationship with. Factoring this in will help you ensure that you’re on the right timeline for bringing up the conversation and aren’t stepping out of bounds to begin with.

So, next time you want to talk to a partner about sex, try and relax. It is something that is slightly uncomfortable to bring up most of the time, however, if you plan out how you will approach it beforehand, your chances of having a successful conversation about it increase.

Erotic Movies For Couples

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

The brisk chill in the air, rain, sleet and hail are precluding the wonder of the winter months. With the end of day light savings the nights creep up sooner and we must take shelter in the comfort of fuzzy covers and body heat. So what better way to spend those cozy nights snuggled together than to watch a movie?

Statistics have shown that it’s no longer men who monopolize visual stimulation. In a recent study it has been shown that 75% of couples are now enjoying erotic videos to spice things up. Allowing you to possibly re-enact you favorite parts or just enjoy the show! With the coming of the chills we’ve brought in a fun new selection of sexy pornography videos to heat up the blankets and warm your toes.

If it is your first time entering the world of erotic movies, we recommend going for the classics. With Jenna Jameson is the Masseuse you have the original and the new version, its two videos in one! It shows us the fun and exciting life of a masseuse as she reveals her favorite games to play with clients. To really set yourself up for a sensual evening we recommend breaking out your own massages oils, candles and open minds. Watch the video first or join along, just as long as you have fun and heat things up! We recommend using Kama sutra oil of love massage oil; it is edible and warms to the skin to help keep the chill at bay.

Another great classic video is Debbie Does Dallas East vs West. A young cheerleading captain and her squad in a fantastic erotic video, need we say more? To make the evening more realistic you could dress up in the private school girl costume just for him see what the evening has in store for you.

If your ready for something a little more raw and are ready to ramp things up a notch we recommend watching Chemistry or Jenna Love Pain. These two videos are sexy and take you to a whole new world, whether you want to try it or just feel content to watch, you’ll be sure to open new doors of sensual adventure. If you feel the desire for some video props we recommend the Luscious Sex blanket and Floggerella Leather Whips to make the evening a surprise event.

If you’re feeling a little devilish we recommend The New Devil in Miss Jones. The lovely virgin is enticed by the Devil played by Jenna Jameson, now Miss Jones must submit to the Devil’s every whim and desire. Enjoy this movie just as a show or pull up some submission techniques of your own with the Devilish Weekend Kit. Take turns being the devil and enjoy a sexy weekend away.

If none of these erotic videos have caught your fancy or imagination, then perhaps a little education fun will be of service to you. With fun new titles like the Expert Guide to Anal Sex, or the Expert Guide to Oral Sex, you and your partner can heat up the sheets while learning a little something new.

So to start the season off right go ahead and explore your sensual boundaries using videos and props to guide you along or spark your imagination. Heat the sheets and spend the season cozy in bed, as there is no better way to spend the holidays.

How to Have Backdoor Fun

Monday, November 5th, 2007


Did you take a sharp breath just now? Or perhaps your virgin bum cheeks are clenched together? Take a deep breath and relax for the ride. It needn’t be scary and will enhance your boudoir routine when you follow our steps. After all, the anal area is rich with nerve endings and muscles, making the right touch a pleasure for women and men. For guys, it can put pressure on the prostate, resulting in a mind-blowing orgasm. And for gals, the G-spot can be stimulated indirectly during anal sex. But before you dive in, here are a few important tips.

1.Lube, lube, and more lube
The anus doesn’t lubricate like the vagina. This makes the right lubricant a must-have accessory for backdoor play. A water-based, glycerin-free lube like Slippery Stuff is compatible with latex and silicone, so can be used with condoms. Slippery Stuff is thick, so it forms a protective coat on your delicate behind. A silicone-based lube such as ID Millennium will not dry out, keeping you slick and ready for action, even under water. Make sure you pick the right lube for you.

2. Take your time
Many people are scared off anal play by the delicate nature of the area. Because the rectum’s tissue is quite sensitive, it is possible to tear it. However, the correct type of lube is a big part of keeping your heinie intact, as is taking things slowly. Start with feeling the outside of your own or your partner’s bottom first. You may be surprised at the sensitive spots you find before entry. A tongue or very well lubed finger is a good way to start.

3. Keep it clean
If the whole poop thing gives you the heebie jeebies, the ‘receiver’ can go to the bathroom first and follow up with a shower. Indeed, or the whole enchilada can take place in the shower too. The ‘giver’ may also wear a latex glove with plenty of lube to keep his or her hands pristine. A well-lubed condom goes without saying.

4. Education
Before forging ahead, stimulate the mind with instructional DVDs. A good DVD will use real couples to show watchers positions in detail, so there are no convoluted diagrams to follow. Many show you the physiology of anal stimulation and how to prepare for it, along with debunking the myths about anal. Some also touch on topics like safe sex and anal hygiene. Worthwhile DVDs include The Better Guide to Anal Pleasure and Expert Guide to Anal Sex For a New Generation, both by Tristan Taormino.

5. Play safe with the right toys
Yikes! Imagine the embarrassment of heading to the emergency room because you lost a toy in your bum. Yes, it can happen if you don’t use the correct toys. Anal toys should have a flanged end to prevent this from occurring.

6. Plugs
Butt plugs like the Ashley Tush Toy have a thin neck and flanged base so they can’t completely slip inside. The Ashley has the added bonus of an opening at the base, where a small bullet vibrator can fit inside for a little extra zip.

7. Anal Beads
Centuries of bead enthusiasts can’t be wrong! Beads make the sphincter muscles contract. Beads + muscle contractions = Amazing Orgasms. A nice equation, don’t you think? Modern designs, such as Silicone X-10 Beads, feature seamless graduated anal beads. Gently insert the smallest and work your way up according to your comfort zone. Gently pull them out as you climax to kick it up a notch.

For beginners looking for the complete package, the Tush-tastic Kit is simply bootylicious! It includes everything you’ll need: The Better Sex Guide to Anal Pleasure DVD; Ashley Tush Toy; Power Bullet; Jelly Anal Beads and Slippery Stuff lube.

Tips and Thrills for The Boo-doire

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Ever watch your favorite scary movie for the millionth time with your hands over your eyes, peeking through your fingers just as that particularly frightening yet thrilling part comes? Once you’re too old for trick-or-treating, Halloween really is all about getting a kick out of being frightened.

When you’re scared, your hormones kick in, resulting in a rush of adrenaline. This kicks up your physical strength and senses a few notches, something that comes in handy when playing with your partner.

All kinds of sexual kinks have roots in the fun of fear and the thrill of the unknown. Just the abbreviation BDSM (bondage/discipline, domination/submission and sadism/masochism) scares and thrills the pants off many. Think it’s too much for you? You’d be surprised how easy and exciting it is to customize to your needs.

BDSM covers a cache of kinks – spanking, wearing nipple clamps, blindfolds, gags, role playing, playing with hot and cold (think ice cubes and hot wax) and tying up your sweetie. It’s not about pain, but rather it’s about exploring what turns your crank. Following are some tips to getting your BDSM on:

Play safe: By this, we mean talk it out with your partner and make sure you’re on the same page when it comes to how far you’ll go. This means agreeing on…

A “safeword”: This is the word means stop. You can also have multiple words for “stop”, “slow down” and “let’s discuss.”

Start simple: Keep it simple in the beginning. Rather than trying full-on bondage, nipple clamps and hot wax all at once, start with one particular element and work your way up.

Hit me: Feeling naughty and in need of punishment? Old-fashioned spanking is a good start for beginners as you can better gauge how hard you are hitting. Keep it to the fleshier parts of the body and avoid super-sensitive areas like feet and hands.

Make it comfy: If the thought of being tied up gets you hot and bothered, start with something like fuzzy handcuffs or silk scarves. When tying knots, make sure you can slip two fingers between the restraints and your partner’s wrists or ankles.

Role-playing is another way to test your thrill-o-meter.

Costumes are fun any time of year. Is your man afraid of the doctor? Dressing the part of Naughty Nurse will cure what ails him, along with his fear of needles, in no time.

Ladies, if you’re the boss, let him be the boss now and then by playing the sexy, naïve Office Girl.

If you’re not up for full on dress-up yet, simply go to a bar and pretend you’re trying to pick your guy up. Wear a little something your partner wouldn’t normally expect, like Fishnet Thigh High Stockings. Give him a flirty look and perhaps a sneak peak of your, ahem, accessories, and you’ll be heading home or some other secluded area, pronto.

Finding the G Spot

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

Pleasuring Women with G-spot Toys
At Honey Gifts, we aim to educate and please – this month that means taking the mystery out of the G-spot. Just because you or your partner haven’t found it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Figuring out how to hit it with toys is an experiment in fun.

First you gotta find it: The G-spot isn’t as elusive as you may think. It’s about two inches inside the vagina, towards your belly and behind the public bone. Insert a couple well-lubed fingers and stroke them towards your palm in a come hither motion. You may feel like you have to pee when the G-spot is stimulated – you won’t urinate, but you may ejaculate. But first…

Turn it on: Don’t immediately dive in once you’ve located it. Make sure you’re ready beforehand with a little foreplay. Getting aroused will make the G-spot swell with fluid, making it more firm, easier to find and ultimately have an internal G-spot orgasm. Use a vibe held to your clit, your fave sexy movie, your imagination, your partner’s tongue, etc. to get in the mood.

Grab a toy: Frankly, continuing the whole come hither thing can bring on a case of carpal tunnel syndrome just thinking about it. Or you may be cursed with short fingers, leaving your G-spot frustratingly out of reach. A curved toy can be just the trick to reaching it. Personalize your choice. Not everyone is going to be turned on by the same technique. Some options to consider:

  • Try a vibrator with a simultaneous clitoral stimulator or use one hand to work your clit while stimulating the G-spot with a vibrator or dildo. Again, external stimulation will make the G-spot swell, making it easier to find and have a G-spot orgasm. The G-Spot Rabbit or Masagi Glass Toy with Bullet attachment are fun possibilities.
  • The rhythmic pressure of a multi-speed vibe pressed to the G-spot can also do the trick. Today, many vibrators have pulsing and escalating modes, so you can find the best rhythm for you. The Royal Princess is one such toy.
  • A twisting or ridged vibrator is the A-one choice for those who enjoy motion. Another option is to experiment with various girths to find the one that suits your taste, from the thin Starlight G-spot to the thick Chubby G.
  • A glass or stainless steel toy will provide a frictionless and firm touch. An added bonus of glass dildos is they are particularly sensitive to absorbing and maintaining different temperatures for sensations of chill and heat. Try the Glass G with Micro Mini Vibrator for simultaneous internal and external fun. Playing hot and cold takes on a whole new meaning!

Great Sexual Arousal Techniques

Friday, August 10th, 2007

Getting aroused is all about preparing your body for the act itself. Your heart kicks it up a notch, blood pressure rises and muscles tense. Blood flow to your nether-regions increases, making it hard to think.

Here are some ideas on how to turn guys and gals on:

  • For her, many consider the clitoris the golden ticket.
    Massaging with a gel will keep things slick while boosting her sensitivity by increasing blood flow to the clitoris. Plus, adding clitoral stimulation while also stimulating the G-spot will send her over the top. Not just for use with a partner, it will help a woman help herself. (We recommend O Clitoral Stimulating Gel)
  • But don’t dive for the clit right away.
    Start with massaging her other parts. Breast stimulation is fun for both him and her.
  • For him, it’s visual and tactile. For her, it just feels darn good when done right.
    Symmetry, equal attention to both sides, is essential, as is starting slowly and gently. No cold hands please – massage oil can help keep things warm. Most importantly, read her cues. Some women prefer you keep it gentle, while others enjoy a nip. (To help tease and add a tasty sensation,we recommend using a flavored lube or Kama Sutra Honey Dust.)
  • Less explicit things.
    Sexual arousal is often piqued by less explicit things and can start with seemingly non-sexy acts such as her partner taking out the garbage or preparing dinner, not to mention cleaning up afterwards
  • Physical affection without sex helps up arousal.
    Touching – hugs, cuddles, kisses – all build the electricity for her. When having sexual contact, build it up with plenty of foreplay, focusing on the whole body, not just her sexual bits.
  • Separate from work.
    Separate stress from work and other outside sources from your life as a couple. An added bonus is stress release can lead to sex, sex being the ultimate in stress release. Does your partner like a deep or gentle massage? You never know where a well-timed foot rub may lead.
  • More than just Pete.
    Though men and women alike joke that men can only function mentally when their other head is not in use, to truly arouse a guy, it’s about more than just Pete – remember the boys, the neighboring perineum, and sometimes a little anal play is more than welcome.
  • Mouthwash adds sensation.
    More suction doesn’t necessarily translate to good head. Teasingly licking his balls and shaft will help build up to the moment. Gargling with mouthwash beforehand, in addition to giving you minty fresh breath, will give him a tingly sensation.
  • Stimulate his P-spot.
    While giving him head or hand, help finish him off with a perineal massage or stimulate his P-spot (prostate) with butt play. The perineum is the super sensitive spot between his testicles and anus. Press firmly and pump with a finger or knuckle to send him over the edge. Straight men who claim their butt is one-way only have likely never had the nerve-rich anus explored. A lot of lube, gentle touch and small toy. (We recommend the Finger Fun Vibrator - it can be a real eye opener. )
  • Visual turn-ons.
    Then there are the visual turn-ons. Looking for something you can enjoy together, beginning to end? How about shopping for porn together? Yes, women like and are turned on by porn. It just has to be the right kind – there’s more out there than ‘70s porn with bad music and bad facial hair. The selection is tremendous, with women-directed flicks, natural bodied actors, plot-filled films and out-and-out sexfests.
  • Suggested Reading material for him.
    Sexpert Lou Paget’s How To Give Her Absolute Pleasure book is chock full of ideas on how to build intensity.
  • Suggested Reading material for her.
    Paget explores how to blow his mind too in How To Be a Great Lover. It’s about more than the penis, from his neck down to his perineum, testicles and, ahem, into his P-spot (prostate).

Advice on Prolonging Sexual Activity

Friday, August 10th, 2007

Question: My boyfriend tends to get to the finish line much faster than me. What can help him prolong and/or for me to climax faster?

Answer: That is a common question we get at Honey! You will notice products for men tend to help them prolong and the opposite for women…they aim to help women reach orgasm faster. We are not sure why our biology is so different but simultaneous orgasms don’t tend to be the norm for most couples.

Here are four things you can try:

  1. Controlling the muscles with exercise and different breathing techniques. The exercises aid in controlling premature ejaculation as well as increasing sexual stamina. This is the basis for many tantric sex techniques so picking up a book or DVD (The Tantric Guide To Better Sex DVD) and practicing the exercises will help.
  2. Applying a gel such as Kama Sutra Pleasure Gel Original or a spray such as Stud 100 on his penis. These products decrease the sensitivity for him hence helping him prolong. Both these items are safe and developed for this problem specifically.
  3. Put on a cock ring. This can be slid on around the base of the penis but they function the most effectively when secured around both the scrotum and penis. Cock rings are designed to restrict the blood from flowing out of the penis, which can prolong an erection as well as create a firmer and slightly larger penis (this is a temporary result! The penis will not get larger with continuous use of a ring).
  4. To reach orgasm faster for a women, she can stimulate her clitoris manually during intercourse, use a small external vibrator like the Layaspot which has a great curve that forms around the women’s pelvis and clitoris, or a gel like Clitoral Stimulating Gel to increase the blood flow and circulation to the area.

Ideas for a wild bachelorette party

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Interesting how some countries use different terminology for the Bachelorette Party – but they all follow the same premise and that is “To have a wild and fun time”.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia states that “A bachelorette party or hen party is a party held for a woman who is about to be married as a rite of passage. The term “hen party” is more common in the UK and Ireland, “stagette” in Canada, while “bachelorette party” is more common in the United States. It may also be referred to as a “hen’s night”, “stagette”, or “girl’s night out” in other English-speaking countries. Those attending the party are usually all female. Events such as the The Girlie Show in the UK add comedy to the male strip club. If held at home, it may be an occasion to hold a pamper party or compare products like lingerie or women’s sex toys or to play games like “Truth or Dare” or trivia games, like “How Well Do You Know The Bride Trivia Game“, “Pass the Balloon”, or a risqué version of “Consequences”.

We have some great ideas for a wild bachelorette party.

  1. Serve her some water in the Perfect Head Water Bottle when she needs to take a break from alcolholic beverages or entice her with a creamy cocktail served in the bottle and let the cream spill out of the tip and make her giggle (what a naughty girl giving a blow job!).
  2. Going out to the bar for a girls night out? You can plan a wild bachelorette party game, such as Suck for a Buck – where a bride wears a candy bra over a party t-shirt that advertises a suck of the necklace for a dollar. Get all the cute guys lining up – just like a candy store!
  3. Serve up some x-rated pasta with a creamy sauce for party food. Who wouldn’t get a laugh out of this dish when the little penises are eaten up!
  4. Having a wild and sexy guy come to take off his clothes? Ask the stripper to put on the sweet and sexy jock strap and get him to entice the bride-to-be to bite off some of the candies – oh she’ll be blushing in no time!
  5. Top the bachelorette’s penis cake off with some sassy penis candles and ask her to blow!

Bachelorette Party Trivia Games

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Want to stir up some fun at the next Bachelorette party you’re planning for your girlfriend?

Why not try some trivia? The term trivia is widely used to refer to tidbits of unimportant (or trivial) information, but it can also mean general knowledge. Generally, the latter definition prevails when people “play trivia”.

If you are looking for a Bachelorette Party Trivia game, Honey Gifts suggests the ever-popular “How Well Do You Know The Bride” game.

The Hilarious Party Trivia Game that will have everyone laughing out loud as they test their knowledge about the bride. The perfect game for both bachelorette parties and bridal showers!!

You will have a choice of trivia topics in this game and no need to fret and think about the questions as they are all there for you! read more here…

I also suggest making the bachelorette party with a fun playful theme to embarass the bride-to-be. Maybe decorate the food and festivities with some bachelorette party supplies…
