OPL Laundry Goddess

Those were funny, and somewhat realistic, I think I remember my grandmother and greatgrandmothers using some of those... thanks, Pappy. And bless your heart. LOL ~LG

Slimline G Deluxe Massager The Slimline G Deluxe Massager is impressive at first glance. Something about it says, “This is different!” The hot pink plastic wand features an angled egg shaped head and comes with two cyberskin covers for external use. This toy takes two AA batteries, easily installed, and revs its vibrations with a dial control located at the end of the rod. The range from off to super sonic is easily adjusted without having the jumps between vibration stages so common in the push button controllers. During use, the firm head tilts perfectly for G spot stimulation. Although I never felt the tell-tale sensation on the spot like I do with fingertip stimulation, the vibes I got from the Slimline G were incredible! Whether internal or external, I felt powerful waves of personal satisfaction. I loved the angled design, the firm egg shaped head, and the vast continuum of speed variations. The Slimline G is designed for self use, its tilted head perfectly positioned to help you find your G spot all by yourself, but it’s more fun with friends! We took turns, and then we used this thin toy sandwiched between us, sending those wonderful vibrations right where we needed them. There is nothing complicated or intricate about this vibe, it’s simple and basic, but it works like a Trojan. No matter where we placed it or how we used it, the end result was a powerful orgasm.

Blue Mood Ring Of all cock rings we’ve tried, this one is the most elaborate. The Blue Mood Ring’s unique appearance with all its nubs, bullets, and appendages makes me think, “Perhaps I should read the directions first.” This toy is Latex/Phthalate free and there is no manufactured smell. It utilizes 3 AG13 batteries in the mini bullet and 2 AG10 batteries for the micro vibe; all of which are included. Sporting water tight seals this toy is waterproof and shower/tub friendly (making clean up care free). The cock ring is SUPER stretchy, so getting it on and off is easy (easier with lube) and did not pull any hair (a big plus for the guys). The fit was comfortable, not too tight and not too loose, so it is “one size fits most.” The two vibes are push button, one speed, off/on control. The intensity of the vibe was “just right” with the upper (clitoral) and lower (scrotal) stimulators; both were quiet as advertised. However, we had the same issue with this toy as every other dual function cock ring we’ve tried - the inability to maintain contact with the clitoral buzz to be effective for female orgasm. We tried several different positions with this ring; man on top, woman on top, doggy style, scissors. The only position that came close to getting the job done was reverse cowgirl down. This may be a design issue or perhaps just a user issue, but we have the same challenge with ANY similar product we’ve used. From the man’s perspective, when the ring is positioned correctly (ring around the cock and balls) the micro vibe dangles behind the jewels and gives “very nice” stimulation during the sex act. Same goes for the upper vibe, adding a bit of extra attention in the pelvic area. As for objective of prolonging erection, we have yet to see any ring accomplish. Although intended for both partners, we recommend you purchase with the man’s benefit in mind. The Blue Mood Ring performs as advertised, but missed the O factor we were looking for.

Liquid Sex This bottle of Liquid Sex is now my new favorite lube! I am always skeptical about lubricants because I am extremely touch and smell sensitive, but this one surprised me in so many wonderful ways. First, the bottle has a unique design. Sensually curvy, the functionality of those side grips come in handy when your hands are lubed and everything is slippery. Secondly, there is a light and delicate fragrance. Not overpowering or even that noticeable, I would describe the smell as a faint herbal scent. Enriched with Ginseng Root Extract, the product claims an aphrodisiac quality. The Liquid Sex “Ginseng Aphrodisiac Boost” proposes to enhance performance as well. According to the website this product offers a warming sensation, which the packaging did not mention. I cannot uphold an enhancing or prolonging effect, nor did I notice any warm or tingling feeling brought about by the lube. What I can endorse is the smooth natural feel. First application of this lube was on the back of my hand. It was thin with an amazing glide quality. This product could certainly be used for intimate massage, but it is not a lotion or oil. There was no tack or stickiness after application, and as it dried, this product left a powdery silky sense without any residue. Sexually speaking, this product was the most realistic I’ve ever experienced. I needed only a small amount to coat our toy and even less for direct application. I used the lube first with a G-Spot stimulator; it has a wonderful glide on its own, but the addition of this lube helped my love find her pleasure zone several times. Not wanting to end before running this lube thru its paces, I used my fingers to tease her clit until it blossomed like a rose. This lube only required one application for our playtime and it was neutral tasting so it blended with her juices allowing me to enjoy her orally without any distraction. I’m not sure if it was the mood or the lube, but the action was wet and the orgasms were plentiful!

18 Inch AC/DC Double Dong We anxiously awaited the arrival of this item after seeing it in an adult film several weeks earlier. “Can it really be that long?” we asked each other. But no matter how you measure, 18 inches is BIG. This double ended jelly dildo has one smooth slender end and one rippled larger end. It is soft and pliable; easily manipulated into a U shape if you use it for double penetration. Unpackaged, it has a distinct toy smell. It needs no batteries and it is totally waterproof. The first night we tried the toy in the bathtub; this pink water snake warmed nicely and cleaned easily. My lover gently inserted the smaller end inside me, and then after a few tender slides in and out she removed it and inserted the other end. The size difference was noticeable and the ridges along the shaft caressed my insides on both the in and out motions. Using only one end of the dong allowed for an easy grip for my partner. The combined forces of the internal thrusts and a waterproof bullet sent me quickly to the edge and allowed me a wonderful ride and an intense release; twice, in rapid succession. A few days later we had another opportunity for bedroom play when we pulled our extra long dong from its hiding place and lubed it up for double action. The main challenge with our two person position was the toy didn’t have the rigidity needed for a push/pull action between us, but it did offer a full and connected feeling and that along with our favorite bullets brought many shared orgasms. This dildo is a wonderful addition to a toy collection, but it is not a first step or “general purpose” item. I would have to say it serves specific functions. It is versatile and cleans easily, but it is not subtle. If you want something very BIG or super long, this is for you. If you or your partner want some double ended or double penetration action, this is for you. Or, if you simply want to shock someone with the sheer magnitude of this laying by your bedside… this wonder worm is for you!

Ya, I'm there too... very sensitive nose, and it effects me even when I don't want it to. I totally understand normal body function (grew up with parents in medical positions, so you can image the normal dinner time conversaion) but there are just times when it is NOT pertinent to be a sexual being. I suppose that is the glory of having a relationship that goes well beyond the bonds of sexual attraction. At least there are plenty of things to occupy your time until everyone is feeling well enough to get back to business. ~LG

My Top Five Favorite TOys: 1. dual vibe rabbit (any type, I've had several, but the ones with a firmer shaft are better) 2. Dual Egg Bullet Vibes 3. My Real Man 4. Glass Diamond Wand 5. Hands free Rosebud stimulator (one of my first toys, perfect for wearing during lovemaking, much like this diving dolphin ~LG

I saw this one on the new product list... not sure how I feel about it yet. Fisting is such a personal choice, its sorta like anal. You have to be in the right mood, excited enough to relax, etc... Not certain how those fingers would feel. As I understand, the shape and positioning of the hand, fingers, and knuckles once inside can make or break a fisting experience. I can't wait to read the reviews on this one. Should be interesting. ~LG

Hmm, good question. I'd have to say I'm always "open" to the idea of it. It normally depends on my mood, how excited I am, and with partner I'm with. I'd have to say swallowing is my default mode, but there are times when I get there and then think, "no, not up for that today" at which point I usually offer up some naughty alternative complete with plenty of seductively dirty launguage to add some spice to the situation. ~LG

Renaissance wear, no doubt… think exposed chests, not Elizabethan. My second choice would be pirates, ala "of the Caribbean." ~LG

Ya, me too on the organizational thing - We've started using drawstring bags for each toy, this keeps them separated and protected. Also, we only use the too timid lube, and it works well with everything! ~LG

My advice is actually to steer away from porn and keep a look out for "educational" films. DVDs that offer technique and position guides. They normall use real couples or at the very least real looking actors and not porn stars. I find for my softer tastes, this type of instructional material give me just as much visual stimulation as the hard core stuff and is easier on the pysche. good luck in your search ~LG

I married my "first" 19 years ago and since then I'd say the longest we've been without is the six week stints after each of our babies. A couple of those times it might have been an extra few days or a week after Drs discharge, but otherwise, we've been relatively consistant. ~LG

My inside joke with hubby (the original) was a KitKat Bar, that has been going on for nearly two decades. It's also a little "hey, wanna get busy later on?" kind of thing if I buy one at the store and then leave it on his desk or his pillow. My honorary hubby and I usually go for cookies and milk, if we have enough strength to crawl from the bed. And with my Temptress, I don't need anything, I could just lay in her arms forever completely satisfied. ~LG

6 Techniques - 26 Positions The Sinclair Institute has produced a quality instructional DVD that offers couples six sexy techniques and twenty six steamy positions for boosting couple compatibility in the bedroom. Their slogan, better relationships, better sex is portrayed in a straight forward manner using real couples for simple understanding. Clinical psychologist and sex therapist Lori Buckley narrates both the techniques and position portions of this DVD with helpful tips and explanations. Without recapping the above product description, I feel the technique portion offered a basic step up from vanilla practices for those couples looking to add another dimension to their love making. The position portion clearly demonstrated how minor adjustments during the sex act can create an element of fun and experimentation in the bedroom. One of the best features was the product index at the end of each segment. While watching this DVD we noticed several products that caused us to ask, What is that and where can I get one? Even though you wont want to disrupt the flow of sexual energy brought by this film, keep a pad and pen handy for the ending credits when youll most certainly want to write down the names and companies that manufacture a few of these enticing items. I can certainly recommend this DVD for anyone, but most especially those who are interested in spicing things up between the sheets. Need some new ideas? Want to surprise your lover? Want to watch real couples role playing and pleasing each other? Reaching for this DVD is the first step to adding more zing to your routine. The top five responses to this DVD are below: Very professionally done. Nice job. Is that stainless steel? OMG! I have to have one of those! I just dont think I could do the French Maid thing. Looks like shes a little behind in her payment. They all look like they are really enjoying themselves.

I'm sure our situation is different than most, but we have three adults under roof and we all sleep in the same bed. Because of that, "threesomes" per se are what comes of our natural lovemaking. I remember when 3 was the new and erotic thing to do, but now its standard and I can say unless we're in a situation (special occassion) where one person is being pampered or singled out, a threesome can be difficult to manuever. However, on a special occassion basis, they can be a wonderful addition - just COMMUNICATE with your partner and understand the boundaries and comfort zones of all involved. just my 2 cents ~LG

Lucky us, our 13 yer old son intends to go to culinary arts school and be a master chef. He does all our grilling for us. But in his absence one of the Father types do the outdoor cooking (gas grill), but the Father in Law has a smoker and he uses charcoals and wood chips when he does turkeys or Salmon. YUM. OK, Iha, sounds fabulous, pony up the recipe if you're willing. ~LG

This was a huge issue for me. I was rasied in a "good girls don't" household and it took nearly two decades for me to loosen up with my own husband. Many times it is still a conscience choice to push myself when the brainwashed insides want to hold me back. I can say, however, I feel really good about the choices we've made in the sex positive parenting category. I've pushed beyond the comfort zone to speak openly and candidly with our children on all "natural" subjects including sex, tolerance, and being non judgemental to those who are different. Has anyone seen those really cool COEXIST bumper stickers? ~LG

It is not that dark at all. Its crystal clear. I can only imagine it is tinted for ease of photography, but our diamond wand is "clear as glass." Actually, its quite beautiful. ~ LG

That looks wonderful! I love those kinds of things... (keeping this in mind for later...) ~LG

Ya, us too, so I won't go to all the time to just reinterate all the good things said so far. The one thing I did want to add was that the batteries seemed to run out quickly. I think those little batteries just don't have the longevity of a AA or something bigger. If you are one that requires a longer warm up, I suggest using the rabbit intermittingly rather than constantly. Those nice strong initial vibes can and will peter out (pun intended) on you if you run it continually. Not that it negates the pleasure (both Temptress and I adore all our bunnies) but just something to be aware of and order an extra pack of batteries with this guy! ~LG

The vag is not a hole like most people think. It is a flat tube that expands in relation to its blood flow, engorgement, and arousal states. Because of this, in the right circumstances you can make the vaginal canal spit out ten pound babies without irrevocable harm. In the wrong circumstances (like forced entry) there can be plenty of tears and lesions. The challenge with having things "fit" is not the vag, but the pelvic opening, which is bone and can limit size. Without the aid of spreading hormones like Relaxin (produced during labor) the pelvic floor is what most will find as the obstacle to taking in larger objects. Having said all that, not everyone enjoys the full feeling. It’s about tastes and preferences like everything else. I know for me, I can orgasm more quickly and intensely when there is something inside, whether it be fingers or phallic. Size is rarely an issue for me as I prefer performance to sheer mass, but there are those times when I want it big and full. ~LG

Eerily real is right... It took me a minute or two before I could even move after pulling this one out of the box. But I'm totally in love and he will be part of our oft used favorites! We've since then used him for double and I have to advise that whatever you are using in the rear door has to be inserted first and then this one. Couldn't make it work the other way around, but WOW 'O WOW... ~TLG

Real Man Pleasure When this handsome man arrived in my mailbox I couldn’t get my hands on him fast enough! Made of Jel-Lee, this “real man” felt amazingly (and somehow eerily) lifelike. I had originally imagined I’d invite him to join me in the bathtub, but my first opportunity for a date with this hunk of manhood was the shower. He has an amazing ability to cling to most any nonporous surface and given his size (a generous 8 inches in length and 3 inches in diameter) hung massively appealing from the shower wall. I always enjoy sex in the shower but this time I was in more control than usual. I backed up to him, letting him tempt me with his well defined head, then bent over so I could take him all the way in. This big boy filled me in a way that sent shivers up my spine! I rode him slowly at first, and then with more vigor as the intensity increased. With the workout I gave him, one would think he’d come unglued, but he stayed firm and stuck with me for the duration. After our hot and steamy shower together, I invited this new man in my life to come to bed for another opportunity to please me; and please me he did. The best part of this guy is not his fulfilling size or his dreamy “skin” but the way he’s always ready, willing, and able to meet my needs. He wants to please and he’ll never fall down on the job. Honestly, this Jel-Lee “real man” dildo is the most amazing toy I’ve used so far. It’s not for beginners or those who like them small. It’s big, really big, and can touch places in me that give incredible sensations. When used internally he has a very smooth skin on skin feeling with incredibly lifelike detail on the shaft and balls. The suction cup base is compatible with a harness and it’s easy to care for; just wash with anti-bacterial soap, rinse, and air dry. This toy comes with my highest recommendation.

Diamond Glass Dildo With the rave reviews on glass toys, I was eager to try out our new Top Cat Diamond wand. Holding the toy in my hand I noticed it was heavier than I expected. The smooth glass and graduating sized ripples in the 7.5 inch long shaft gave the toy a very nice feel. I rinsed it in warm water and noticed how susceptible it was to temperature changes, so I made sure it was warmed to body temperature before taking it to bed. Before using the wand I lubed it up with Too Timid’s own brand (a personal favorite.) The glass required much less lube than toys made of other materials and had a slick glide. Each ridge and ripple are easily felt on both the in and out motion. With friction this toy will heat up on its own and can get quite toasty. The wand has a nice knob on the end which is larger than the ridges throughout, so we experimented with turning it around and inserting the larger end first. WOW. Even without the bend most G-spot toys tend to have, this bulb fit snugly inside and put pressure against my G-spot which was all I needed for a powerful wave of orgasmic pleasure. One of the benefits of glass is its ease for anal play. Once again, we lubed the wand and began to insert it slowly. By this time, it was late, it was dark, and I was gearing up for my third very powerful orgasm. I don’t remember much except OMG it felt fabulous and the orgasm was hard and fast. Due to the nonporous nature of glass, it was easily cleaned with a little antibacterial soap and warm water. We’ve also noticed that this beautiful wand stores nicely and does not collect the lint like our other toys do. Although it’s sturdy build makes it much more durable, it’s still glass, so handle it carefully and keep it inspected for damages in the surface condition.
