Try Yoga For Better Sex!
Everyone knows that yoga is great for your health, but did you know it can also help improve your sex life?
Aside from the obvious improvements gained by any type of exercise, yoga has a variety of benefits that will improve both your health and sex life. The most noticeable effects of practicing yoga are a reduction in stress, increased energy levels, better sleep, and improved flexibility which can all contribute to a better sex life. The less noticeable but nonetheless impacting effects of yoga include increased blood flow to the pelvic area with the consistent practice of yoga poses which can offer more intense sensations during sex and ultimate orgasm, an improve in your overall sense of self confidence as studies show people who practice yoga are less likely to gain weight over time as they age, and an increase in self respect and self love as yoga teaches that the body is a temple to be revered and protected.
Yoga also improves the ability to be receptive to others without judgment at times of vulnerability( as is usually the case during sex) as it brings increased awareness of your own body and sensitivity to the vibes and moods of others thereby assisting you in better pleasing your partner and communicating what it is that you like and want during intimacy. Yoga helps you to be fully in the moment and present when you spend intimate time with your partner as many practices require complete relaxation of both the body and the mind, providing practitioners with an undeniable state of clarity.
To practice yoga, seek out your local gym as most offer yoga classes free with memberships or a local yoga studio nearest you. Prices are not unreasonable, especially considering what you receive in return.
If you’re a beginner & are unsure about taking a class try these simple tips:
- Deep Breathing: Close your eyes and sit or lay on the floor (however is most comfortable). Take slow deep breaths in as you mentally count to 10 and then exhale for 10. Repeat as many times as you wish, but try and aim for at least 10 inhales and 10 exhales a day. It’s a great refresher and will reduce anxiety and stress immediately.
- Butterfly Pose: This pose may sound unfamiliar, but I’ve bet you’ve done it during stretching at gym class. Simply sit on the floor with the bottom of your feet touching, knees bent, parallel to the floor. Bend your torso, at the waist, over your legs for a nice long stretch. Do this in combination with deep breathing techniques.
- Super Man: Everyone does this, even babies. Lie on your stomach with your hands resting on the floor over your head, palms to the floor. Slowly, lift up your legs and hands, arching your back slightly. Hold for 10 (remember to breathe!) and then lower for ten. Repeat at least 5 times. Enjoy flying!
- Plank: This might be more known to pilates lovers, but is so effective everyone should do it. Cherished by active women everywhere for it’s ability to tone, tighten and strength the ab muscles, plank is done by bending your arms (at the elbow) into a 45 degree angle forearms against the floor. Using your forearms as support, raise onto your toes, with your legs straight out behind you, paralell to the floor. It should look like you’re doing a push up, only you’re not going anywhere and your forearms are holding you in place instead of your hands. All you have to do is hold it for 30 second intervals. Hold 30, rest 30. Repeat as many times as you can.
Good Luck!

2 More Foods To Benefit Your Sex Life!

Here’s 2, one for women and one for men:
Steak for Men: Steak really is man’s man food for more than just the obvious reasons. Steak is packed with essential protein, iron, magnesium and zinc, all of which are essential to any reproductive functions in the body.

Lifestyles SKYN: A Great Latex Alternative
I have a friend who is allergic to latex and I’ve literally seen her break out in hives from latex gloves so I cannot imagine what a hassle it must be to choose condoms. I remember she used to employ lambskin condoms, but now she uses these and I can see why. Lifestyles SKYN Non-Latex Lubricated Condoms are a GREAT choice for anyone who is allergic to latex. These condoms work very well and are clinically tested and approved in the USA, just like any other latex condom would be. More than that, Lifestyles SKYN are the perfect alternative to latex condoms for those who suffer from latex allergies as they possess all the same qualities as latex condoms without the latex. Developed in polyisoprene materials, these non-latex condoms are lubricated and thin for a “barely there” wear and increased sensitivity and sensations during use for optimum levels of pleasure and protection. If you are allergic to latex and checking your options for protection, you may want to try these SKYN Condoms by Lifestyles!

The Importance of Being Lubricated
When searching for the right lubricant, you might be completely certain, totally confused or not even know where to start. In the case of those who are lost and confused, not to worry! The following is a list of things to consider with each lubricant type (ie. water based, silicone, etc.) and what their uses are as well as the importance of lubrication.
First off, the important of lubrication cannot be stressed enough. Whether you’re having anal fun or more traditional intercourse, lubrication is an important step. Now, unless you’re 22 and still slippery without a problem, most of us need some lubrication assistance and that’s fine. Myself included, we are not as fresh and wet as we once were, but that’s the point of a lubricant and there’s absolutely no reason why this should hinder your sex life AT ALL.
Why lubricate at all?
Lubrication, whether natural or provided through the use of your chosen lubricant, assists in facilitating sex of any kind. This is really important because if you choose to go without lubricating, you are running the risk of causing internal or external damage or both to yourself and possibly your partner. This can range from small cuts and rashes on the vaginal or testicle area caused from dry chafing or rubbing to something more serious. Most people only ever suffer from these small cuts, but if you are someone with multiple sex partners, you should be careful as these small cuts can allow infection and bacteria directly into the body and may cause more serious issues. That being said, ALWAYS USE PROTECTION!! Not only that, but think about razor bumps. If you have razor bumps, it can be irritating enough, but razor bumps combined with non-lubricated sex can worsen the bumps and cause further irritation and discomfort that can take weeks to heal.
- Organic Lubricants: This is my number one recommendation for those who have sensitive skin or suffer from allergens or irritation. This is also a great natural alternative to those who are environmentally conscious or those who live vegetarian or vegan lifestyles. These lubricants are made will all natural ingredients and usually pose skin benefits from using them. Many are also glycerine and paraben free. They are usually all toy safe unless otherwise stated.
- Water Based Lubricants: Water based lubricants are the most simple option for those who really don’t want flavored or silicone lubricants and don’t want to pay for or don’t have a preference for organic lubricants. Water based lubricants are great for toys, normal erotic play and they are often times made with moisturizing ingredients such as vitamin E that are beneficial to the skin. This lubricant generally provides basic lubrication, plain and simple; it gets the job done.Water based lubes are all toy safe.
- Silicone Based Lubricants: Silicone based lubricants are meant for VERY slick lubrication. This type of lubricant is NOT meant for PVC or silicone made toys as it will degrade the condition of your toy. Silicone lubricants are great for anal play, water fun in the shower or pool and anyone who wants a VERY SLICK long lasting lubrication during sexual intercourse or other erotic acts as they tend to be longer lasting than water based, have a thicker consistency and will not wash off as easily. Silicone Lubes are NOT toy safe.
- Hybrid Lubricants: Hybrid lubricants are the best of both worlds. Hybrid lubricants combine qualities of both water based and silicone lubricants, creating a lubricant that is both safe with toys, long lasting and also easily washed off with water. Hybrid lubes are toy safe.
- Stimulating Lubricants: Stimulating lubricants can be any kind of lubricant, hybrid or water based, but with added stimulating formulations such as warming, cooling or arousing. These lubricants give added sensations during use and can be especially enjoyable for oral pleasure. Hybrid lubes are usually all toy safe unless otherwise stated.
- Anal Lubricants: Anal lubricants are just that. These lubricants are formulated specifically for anal play and many of them come standard with benzocaine, a numbing ingredient that helps you relax during anal fun. Others are formulated with like ingredients for similar effects and all anal lubricants have strong, long lasting lubrication qualities as lubricants tend to wear off more quickly during anal play. Anal lubes may be toy safe, but you should check the formula and box for indications of this.
- Flavored Lubricants: Flavored Lubricants are most often water based formulas and come in a variety of flavors. More commonly, they are made with sugar free formulas so as to be non-irritating, but be sure to check the packaging for confirmation of this! If they are not sugar free formulas, the lubricant can cause a yeast infection in women. For men out there right now passing over this without a care: if you’re a straight man, just a warning, yeast infections are contagious and can be transferred to you from your woman if she gets one from a sugar based formulated lubricant.Aside from that, sugar free formulas are safe and taste just as delicious if not more because they are usually very low in calories. This type of lubricant can be great for oral pleasure and work well for any kind of erotic sexual fun.These lubricants are almost always safe to use on toys, but again, please consult the packaging to confirm.
- Oil Based Lubricants: These are less common nowadays, but can be very enjoyable for those who favor anal play. Oil based lubricants are also commonly used for solo masturbation fun. Extremely lubricating, oil based lubricants are VERY long lasting, but also harder to wash off. These lubricants are not to be used with latex condoms and some may or may not be safe for toy use.

Top 10 Strangest Sexual Fetishes
First off, let’s talk about what a fetish is. A fetish is an out of the so-called “norm” fascination, adoration, admiration, or overall draw to something, whether that is a person(s), an animal(s) or even to an inanimate object(s). Similarly, a sexual fetish is this same sort of fascination and attraction, but implies various sorts of sexual arousal and pleasure gained from the attraction. Fetishes can range anywhere from the liking or being sexually attracted to only Latin men or women or Asian men or women to tickling, bondage AKA BDSM, and also foot and hand fetishes. It may come as a surprise to those who are unfamiliar with or who do not choose to participate in a fetish to find that feet fetishes are actually one of the most common sexual fetishes.
Aside from the usual fetishes that are commonly known, there are some more underground fetishes that may shock or awe you, especially if you have never heard of them before now. While there seems to be heavy debate as to whether these fetishes are healthy, it really is a matter of opinion and many studies show than most of the commonly known fetishes such as BDSM and the like are actually, in fact, quite normal for people to have and engage in. There are many ways of loving and being loved in this world and, although I mostly choose not to participate in the stranger side of fetishes (such as those featured below), this does not in any way mean that I condemn them. After all, we do live in the US of A right?
That being said, here’s a list of some of the strangest fetishes I could look up that you may or may not be familiar with. Prepare to be shocked, awed and enlightened and to realize that, for some reason, many of the most bizarre of these all seem to come from Japan.
- Oshouji: This is actually one of the fetishes I think is really interesting, artistic and cool. This fetish refers to the act of writing degrading words all over your partner’s body with calligraphy ink.
- Plushophilia: This may also refer to furry sex or furry love. A person who grows up with an obsessive or extreme fondness for stuffed animals could develop this type of fetish. This fetish entails the arousal and attraction to plush/stuffed animals or those dressed in animal costumes. Plushophiles, as they are technically referred to, may enjoy masturbating with stuffed animals or having intercourse with those dressed as animals or dressed as an animal themselves. For those interested in bestiality, one might prefer to enjoy this fetish rather than have sex with real animals.
- Kyatto Faito: This refers to schoolgirl cat fights in which women dress up as cat-like or kitten-like and fight. Most commonly, this is done to lose clothing or just for fun or show, but also occurs where women perform these fights more seriously and brutally fight with one another.
- Erotic Asphyxiation: Those who practice this enjoy cutting off their oxygen supply during masturbation, intercourse or other sexual acts as they claim it heightens their pleasure and makes orgasms more enjoyable. Ropes, belts and other restraints are commonly used during these acts and, if one is not extremely careful, this can be very dangerous and even fatal.
- Burusera: This refers to a panty fetish that is very popular in Japan. So popular, in fact, that there are many burusera shops around Japan that sell the used panties. Men buy these to sniff/smell them. Many women have garnered large amounts of money off of this fetish.
- Injured Idol: This sexual fetish refers to women who wrap bandages around their head or other body parts in order to attract men. There is also an opposite fetish that occurs commonly with those who have medical fetishes such as the attraction to these women who are wearing bandages, casts or have other faux injuries.
- Robot Fetishism: This refers to the sexual attraction someone has to robots, the thought of having sex with a robot, dressed as robots or with a person who has transformed into a robot. This is taking your lover for science or the syfy channel to a whole new level!
- Dendrophilia: I’m sorry, I just can’t wrap my head around this one. This refers to the sexual attraction someone has to trees.
- Autonepiophilia: This is almost as strange as the one above: the arousal gained from imagining oneself or actually dressing as a baby/infant.
- Hierophilia: You’ll have to do 10 hail mary’s after reading this one! This refers to the sexual attraction and arousal gained from religious or sacred objects.

The In’s & Out’s Of Sex Toys
I remember when I was 18 and this whole world of the adult industry loomed over me like a life size sex doll…Okay, that would just be odd, but really, I remember when I was first entering this industry and I was shocked, awed, confused and amused by the many facets of toys and the like and I knew very little about sex and absolutely nothing about the industry. If you don’t anything about it, it’s really nothing to worry about. If you don’t work in the industry or frequently use adult toys or shop at a local adult boutique, there’s no reason why you would and that’s totally fine. But, If you are curious and want to know more, great because that’s my job and I’m here to help.
First off, choose a toy that’s right for you:
There are SO many different kinds of toys, whether you’re male or female and each of them have their own protocol depending on the material they are made with. The material will denote what kind of cleaner you need to use and the kind of lubricant that can be used with that particular toy.
That’s right, not all lubricants can be used with all toys. In fact, using certain lubricants with certain toys can be damaging to your toy, cut the shelf life in half or ruin it instantly, and actually deteriorate the material of the toy itself until the toy is no longer usable.
The actual uses of the toy itself, ie. anal toys, clitoral toys, etc. matter little. What really is important is preserving the materials of the toy. In this case though, if you prefer to use a lubricant specifically for anal, that’s your choice although any of the other approved lubricants for that material will suffice as well.
Use the Right Lubricant & Cleaner for That Toy:
- If you choose a toy that’s made of plastic, such as a basic hard vibe, you’re usually okay to use any kind of lubricants that you want unless the toy company you purchased it from specifies otherwise. Also, it can easily be cleaned by using soap & water or your favorite toy cleaner.
- If you choose a toy that’s made of PVC or silicone based materials, this is where you need to pay attention. PVC/Silicone pieces are only eligible to use water based or hybrid lubricants with them because most silicone lubricants, unless they are hybrid formulations, will corrode the material of the toy and ruin it. A reaction happens between the ingredients which deteriorates the toy’s condition. Some great water based lubricants that are favored by many are those by WET or I.D. They are well known and trusted throughout the industry and many people really love their lines. They are easily found in our general lubricants category and come in many different types including water based and silicone based. Many toys that are usually made with PVC Silicone materials are Jelly type material cock rings, soft textured vibes or dildos, sleeves, extenders and the soft jelly sleeves inside of penis pumps.
Other than water based, you can also use any organic lubricants that do not have silicone (or any derivative of it) in the ingredients, flavored lubricants (all flavored lubricants are water based), any of our fun stimulating lubricants, hybrid lubricants which have both silicon derivative and water based properties that can be used safely with any toys(unless otherwise noted) and, of course, any of the toys in our toy friendly lubricants category. For cleaning, you may simply wash these toys with soap and water or use your favorite toy cleaner. Be sure to let it dry completely before re-using or storing to prevent any breakdown in the materials of your toy(s).
- For any fauxskin, cyberskin or soft skin type silicone material such as the ones used in male masturbation toys or realistic dildos & dongs, the same rules apply as for a silicone piece so follow the rules previously stated in the above bullet point. To clean these items, you may use soap and water or your favorite toy cleaner and, if you want, it is recommended to dust a small amount of corn starch or baby powder over the toy once it is dried to preserve it’s soft texture and prevent breakdown of the materials.
So, now that you’re on your way to becoming a sex toy connoisseur like yours truly, find the right sex toy for you and enjoy your weekend having a safe, comfortable and risk-free sexual experience that is sure to make you BURST with joy…among other things 😉

6 Common Sex Myths Debunked
Sex Myths seem to emerge everywhere, often times created marketing & advertising, perpetuated by W.O.M. (Word of Mouth) rumors and pop culture. For this reason, I have decided to unveil the truth to some of these rumors and show the truth in the myth ( if there is any)!
- Men Get More Sexual Urges Than Women
The Truth: Men and women actually have about equal sexual urges, which fluctuates throughout the day, triggered by various factors such as desire, sleep, health, confidence, stress & relationship status.
- Sex is Unimportant the Older You Are
The Truth: Sex is a huge factor in the overall mental & physical health of any person, regardless of how old you are.
- Big Hands & Feet Mean a Large Penis
The Truth: Although we may all have a blast gauging each other with this method, hands & feet size has nothing to do with penis size.
- Oral Sex is Safer than Anal or Vaginal Intercourse
The Truth: Oral sex is just that: Sex. Any kind of sex involves the exchange of bodily fluids which can still transfer STI’s/STD’s through small cuts or sores in the mouth as well as the throat.
- The “Pull Out” Method is a Viable Birth Control Option
The Truth: “Pulling Out,” also known as the withdrawal method, should never be used as a form of birth control as there is no way to control or detect the point at which ejaculation occurs, but also because during the time of climax no one has spot-on judgment.
- A Woman Can’t Get Pregnant if You Have Sexual Intercourse During Menstruation
The Truth: Although pregnancy is less likely to occur during that “Time of the Month,” it is still a possibility however rare it may be.
