As a girl on a limited budget and a high libido, affiliate programs have really been a great find. Not only can I make money reviewing stuff, but I can have fun doing it. This has been a great way for me and my hubby to make our sex lives more fun and to get my views on things heard.

I started reviewing sex toys to make a difference in the world. The first time I went shopping for sex toys, I had no idea what phthalates were or which toys were safe for my body. I also had a hard time figuring out if the toy I wanted had some raunchy packaging. I was wishing I had someone to help me with my toy shopping. Well, I stopped wishing and started researching. I’ve researched products, materials, companies, all kinds of stuff in preparation for my own blog. I’ve learned a lot from all of this. I even know what my web developer hubby is talking about now since I’ve learned some coding for my blog.

If you’d like to get some free sex toys like vibrators, dildos, dongs, butt plugs, lubes, pretty much anything you can dream up, then sign up with some affiliate programs! These are some of the companies that I know, trust, and love.

Beware, though, reviewing can be addicting and space-consuming. Almost everywhere in my apartment is a hiding space for a toy(s). The sex toy reviewing community is great about overflow, though. Sometimes reviewers will, if toys the are able to be fully sanitized, sanitize toys that they no longer want and swap/trade toys with other reviewers. Of course, it’s not just toys. Books, DVDs, lingerie, body products, makeup, you name it…

I just joined Crystal Delights’ affiliate program today (1/16/2012)! Instead of the usual 20% commission, they’re offering 25%! I’m not sure about reviewing toys for free – I’ve worked with them before, so I’ve been offered another goody to review – but this would be a really good source of income, compared to the others. They sell absolutely gorgeous glass toys with genuine Swarovski crystals in them. The only thing you’ll need is a Paypal account to receive payment, which is sent out when your earnings equal $50 or more for that period.

I hate genetics. It’s the reason the inner lips of my vagina are so bloody long. They get pinched by tight pants (which is really painful sometimes), they droop down like meat curtains and don’t look good in open-crotch panties, and they get stuck every once in the while during sex because they get in the way.

Yes, I could get labiaplasty, but…

1. We have no insurance and I doubt labiaplasty would be covered, so it would be too expensive and we don’t have much money to spare ($3,500-$6,000).
2. Surgery of any kind freaks me out especially if someone’s working on my privates.
3. I’d have to wait 6 weeks to ride my hubby.

Oy. Anybody else have this problem? I guess if I’m too chicken for surgery, I shouldn’t be complaining, but I needed to rant.

Searching for kama sutra stuff, I came across something called the Tantra Chair. Naturally, the artist in me kicks in and starts trying to figure out how to make the blasted thing out of the millions of fabric scraps I have, foam, wood, whatever I can get my hands on to make it cheaper (It’s on sale for $1,19900. I do not have that kind of spare cash). It pretty much looks like it’s made from a wood base with padding under a leather covering. Too bad we got rid of the futon… I might have been able to use the pad from that…

Then, reality kicks in. We live in a teeny tiny apartment. The length of the Tantra Chair is 70 inches, the height is 31 inches and it weighs approximately 70 lbs. Where in this little hovel are we gonna stick a gigantic chair like that? Guess I’ll just have to wait until we get a place to have fun furniture. Dangit…

Here’s the deal, my hubby is a computer geek and I want to do something fun (yet naughty) for his birthday. I’ve painted the power button in glow-in-the-dark fabric paint on a pair of black panties. And I’ve been trying to figure out some xml coding or something to put on a camisole.

There’s only one problem… I can’t figure out any code to use. (Yeah, total brain fart. :P) I’m sure it’s really simple, but either I don’t understand coding very well or my creativity right now stinks. I think it’s more a matter of my creativity being on the blink…

See, I want it to be something like instructions for him. He takes everything so literally because he takes coding so seriously. It gets annoying sometimes. He’ll be quiet, I’ll tell him to say something, and he’ll say “something”. Urgh! XD

Well, I’m going to try to use that to my advantage and put coding on a camisole instructing him in some naughty bedtime fun. I just can’t think of anything… *sighs*

Anybody have any suggestions? ‘Cause my brain has pretty much stopped functioning. Well, my creativity anyway… bleh…

(Don’t expect these to be the stories of a professional writer. I just wanted to jot them down for posterity. Plus, I figured it’d make a fun Halloween post. These aren’t really the full stories, just condensed versions.)

I think it all started with the Little Red Riding Hood role-play between me and the hubby. Well, actually…I think it started off of his fantasy of it.

He’s the big, bad wolf (Big is right, 6’5”) following little Red (That’s me. Yeah, I really am little. 5’1” to be exact.) I’ve got my little basket and the general Red Riding Hood costume (without panties!). As he watches me from the shadows, I bend down to pick a pretty flower, exposing my dripping wet slit. Catching a whiff of my scent and seeing how wet I am, wolfie jumps me from behind and throws an arm around me so I can’t squirm away. He slides his fingers in me and finger fucks me until my legs give out. Then throws me on the ground and ravages me.

There’s also the role-play before that:

I decide to go out into the woods and the big,bad wolf approaches me and demands to know what I’m doing in his forest or he’ll kill me. I tell him I’ve been looking for him and I’ll do whatever he wants as long as he’ll spare my life. A glimmer appears in his eyes and smirks as he thinks that all over. “Anything, eh? Exactly what do you have to offer, Little Red?” I offer to be his sex slave and, with a slight growl and a wider smirk, he accepts and asks if I’ll accept the terms. I’ll have to come whenever he calls. If I don’t, he’ll hunt me down and fuck me wherever I stand, be it in my house or in the town square. I accept. He grabs me a ravages me.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I like his versions, but I’ve made so many versions of my own. You see, he’s twice my size and a complete furrball. Plus, he thinks he was a werewolf in a past life. (And he thinks I was a vampire!) So, hopefully that explains the whole werewolf thing. The stories tend to go from a more wolfish human to full on werewolf. Just depends on how I’m feeling.

So, what about my versions? Well, they’re a bit different than that. And they’re not really the Little Red Riding Hood thing.

I finally bought a house from this guy who’s rather shady and seems to just want to get rid of it asap. Whatever. I’m just happy to have a house. I’m unpacking, and I start hearing a strange noise that sounds like it’s coming from under the house. I start searching and find a trap door. “Where does it go to? That guy told me there was no basement. O.o Hmm…” So, I grab a flashlight and head down into the dark,dank basement. I get down the stairs and shine my flashlight to the right only to discover some freaky statue. It scares the hell out of me and I back up in fear into something warm, soft, and moving. WTF? I turn around to shine my flashlight and a werewolf shackled to the wall growls at me and calls for his master. I explain to him that his master sold me the house, and in that, sold him to me as well. He reluctantly calls me mistress and the fantasy goes either one of two ways:

1. I decide to tease the absolute hell out of wolfie before I get the key for his shackles and let him free to ravage me.
2. He calms down and I take him upstairs to clean him off since the basement is filthy. I get him stripped down and give him a bar of soap, but he just stares at me confused. He’s been down there his whole life and never showered. So, I strip down too and get in the shower with him to wash him down. That doesn’t last long before his hormones get the best of him and ravages me.

Another One:

There’s also the fantasy in which I have a pet wolf that has never seen the full moon because I always keep the windows closed. One night, during the full moon, I forget and leave the blinds open on a cloudy night. I go to sleep, thinking it’s just my pet wolf curled up next to me when the clouds clear and I wake up next to my hubby (with wolf ears, a tail, claws, fangs, and my pet wolf’s collar). I freak out asking who he is and what he did with my pet wolf. He explains a bit while nibbling my neck. I finally understand, he smirks, bites my shoulder, and says he’s been wanting to do me for the longest time. And you guessed it, he ravages me.

One More:

If anyone knows Yuyu Hakusho when that fat bald guy who is keeping Yukina has a basement or something full of monsters, this is where it comes from. I’m on an undercover investigation and visit this fat bald guy to see what kind of creatures he has. While walking past the cells, a hand grabs me. It’s a rather skinny, hairy man with wolf ears, a tail, claws, and fangs. He begs me to take him and I shell out the money, figuring I’ll turn in the fat man later. I take wolfie home, let him shower and eat. By then, it’s bed time. I tell him I’m going to bed and let him continue eating. It didn’t even cross my mind that he needed a bed. He comes into the bedroom a couple minutes after I snuggle in and whines quietly. Not wanting to get up to make him a bed somewhere, I let him bed down with me. I’m sleepy and not thinking, so I throw the covers up to let him get under them, not remembering that I sleep naked. He looks at me with a glimmer in his eye and a slight smirk. Drowsy, I try to figure out what’s going on and look down. I panic and pull the covers over my breasts but, by that time, it’s already to late. He’s pounced the bed, draws me close, and ravages me.

And then there’s also the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban fantasy. Sorry J.K. Rowling! I hope you can forgive me for this! I have a few other HP fantasies involving my hubby and me as characters. Actually, I think I have one for each movie… ^_^;

Replace Lupin with my hubby and replace Hermione with me. Skip to the part of the movie where Lupin is changing into a werewolf (A really pathetic, straggly, ugly werewolf. Switch that one with a better looking one) and where Harry and Hermione use the time turner to go back to that time when Lupin is about to attack them and the others. We’re hiding in the woods, watching Lupin change from afar, and I fake a howl to draw him away from the others. Harry says his line asking what am I doing and that he’s coming after us now. I tell him I know and tell him to run. He asks why. Lupin (wolfie hubby) shows up and I yell at Harry to go, lift up my skirt and get on all fours for wolfie. He fucks me while Harry goes to save the past Harry and Sirius and everyone has a happy ending…especially me.

I’m sure there’s been more werewolf fantasies, but that’s all I can remember right now.

And then I can never resist playing with his chest hair in the morning to get him hard and twitching against my leg. I just can’t leave a sleeping werewolf lie. ~_^ Of course, that usually ends up with me pouncing and ravaging him instead.

Why the werewolf thing? I dunno. He’s big and hairy. Maybe it’s just that he’s always so gentle and mild. I mean, he won’t even kill a bug! If there’s any bugs in the apartment, I have to kill them. And I always feel like I’m the aggressor. I just want him to come after me, and I love it when he plays rough. ^-^ More shoulder biting, scratching, and harder fucking, please!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Babeland let me do some trick-or-treating with them this month and let me try out their Candy themed vibe!

My Opinion: It’s really cute. They would make a great adult Halloween treat (definitely not for the kiddies!). If you plan on dressing up for your sweetie, you could use the Candy Vibe for a little naughty Halloween play. They would be cute to give out at the office, too, as long as you work in a rather adult field. Otherwise it might be kind of awkward…

Aside from Halloween, they’d probably make a cute bachelorette party favor, too. Or maybe an Valentine’s present. After all, Halloween isn’t the only occasion for candy. Plus, it would make an interesting joke gift.

I got the “100 Orgasms” Candy Vibe. And the wrapper does not kid. Great for clitoral stimulation. I love a strong vibe.

It’s a little thin for me for insertion, and it has a slight seam running around it; not very noticeable to the touch. It’s your basic dial-controlled vibe. Nothing special about it, just cute for the holidays.

Hubby’s Opinion: “It’s kinda lame.” (Yeah, whatever. Kill the Halloween spirit, party pooper. What a festive hubby I have…)

Packaging: Very cute. Comes in 3 different designs: 100 Orgasms, Crotch, and Better Finger. Somewhat discreet. I mean, you could fumble through your purse with a Candy Vibe in it and nobody should know what it is at a glance. Just don’t let them read the label!

Size: 5-3/4" x 1-1/2"

Batteries: One AA, not included

Material: The vibe is made from hard plastic and the case is made from vinyl.

Lube: Silicone-based and water-based compatible.

Cleaning: Really easy. Just use some antibacterial soap and warm water. Be careful, though. The Candy Vibes aren’t waterproof. The vinyl case can also be cleaned the same way. Or, you can wipe everything down with toy wipes or use a toy cleaner.

Vibration Level: One speed and powerful. You can use the dial to adjust the intensity.

Noise Level: Not the loudest vibe I’ve had, but I can still hear it with the TV on. There’s no hiding what you’re up to with this vibe.

My Opinion

The Candy Vibes are cute and powerful; perfect for a quickie, as long as your batteries are good. It’s also a fairly discreet vibe, from a distance. The only thing bad about it is the noise level. However, if you live alone and noise isn’t a problem, you’ve got yourself a nice little powerful vibe.

Have a safe and happy Halloween, everyone!

Alright, I have to admit, I’m very excited to finally order something from Bad Dragon. (My fault. Been asking Runa a ton of questions and been scraping my secret stash together and waiting for it to transfer to my Paypal account.) I’ve told you guys about an artist group called Whipspider Rubberworks that I did a tentacle review on a little while before. Well, Bad Dragon is another group of artists that are absolutely brilliant. Even if you aren’t into furres or anthromorphs, Bad Dragon has some really interesting toys.

All of their toys are made from premium grade silicone and are very customizable (suction cups, cum tubes, custom colors, you can even choose the softness or firmness of the outside and the core, and much more). They’ll even take any ideas you have for toys into consideration for production. I’ve been lurking the forums and have found out that there is a Fairy Dragon dildo that looks very interesting and a Werewolf dildo (More anthro than wolf I hope, I hope. *fingers crossed*) that are in the works and were suggested by forum members. I’m really looking forward to the seeing the Werewolf dildo and have probably been bugging Runa way to much about it. All I know is it isn’t going to be out for Halloween, but Bad Dragon has a specific day they have in mind for releasing it (Maybe Horny Werewolf Day aka Valentine’s Day?)

Now, since I’ve done a review on Whipspider’s Tentacle dildo, I just couldn’t resist doing a review on Bad Dragon’s Tentacle dildo. ^_^ I got the small one and have requested a color like the ones in the picture. I hope it has coloring like the largest one. It looks the best.

I’ve also adopted an Anthro Dragon. Yes, you heard me right; I’ve adopted it. There’s actually a part of Bad Dragon’s site where you can adopt toys that just didn’t make the cut. Isn’t that cute? ^-^Bad Dragon has loads of options to customize your toys, and sometimes things don’t turn out perfectly. The one I’ve adopted has a failed core and was discounted to $75. It’s a medium, too, and would regularly be $110 plus $15 for a cum tube. So, that’s a $50 discount! What a great deal!

So, I can’t wait to get my toys from Bad Dragon! I hope they get here soon! I wanted to do the reviews in time for Halloween since their toys are so strange, but I’m not sure if they’ll get here in time. I mean, doesn’t a tentacle scream Halloween? ^_^ And if you really want a strange looking dildo, take a look at the Xenogon.

I was thinking about getting it, but the Anthro Dragon reminds me of the shape of my hubby’s package, and I just couldn’t resist adopting it. I’ll post pics of my new Tentacle when it gets here. In the meantime, here’s a pic of the Anthro Dragon I adopted.(Don’t you just love how they show the toys against a black background? It looks really sharp in comparison to everyone else who just use white backgrounds. It really makes the toys pop because of the color contrast.)

FTC Statement: The Tentacle dildo and the Anthro Dragon dildo were bought from Bad Dragon at a 50% discount for review.

What else can I say? I’d been oggling the Tentacle dildo for the longest time and finally broke down and got it a while ago. Hubby doesn’t know. I don’t know how to spring something so strange on him. O.o

Ok, so there’s a chance he’ll find it totally sexy to see a slimy tentacle (that glows! XD) slithering around in my nethers. But…then again, I’m a little worried it might bring up all that hentai crap from before (Ugh…  –_-; Still trying to get over that.). I had been thinking about passing it off as a Halloween review assignment from one of the companies that sends me surprise assignments…but I dunno.

Why  did I get it? (If you don’t want to read about my stupid past, scroll down to the review.)

Good question. Because I’m warped, that’s why… *sighs* All that crap before…it got me into liking tentacles. But after way too much porn, I started too feel small (I don’t have huge boobs, ok? –_-) , unpretty, and unsexy. I put a stop to it, at least I thought so. But he was still looking at it behind my back and that made me feel even worse about myself. Well, it’s over now. It still hurts sometimes. That’s why I always make sure the toys I get have clean, non-pornographic packaging, if I can. Sometimes I can’t. But I always try to let you guys know. I figure there’s other people like me out there that would like that info.

On to the review!

Well, I’ve only gone solo with the Tentacle dildo. I haven’t introduced it to my hubby yet. Still working up to that. The Tentacle dildo was made by a company called Whipspider Rubberworks (Their toys are all silicone, though, not rubber. You can see more from them like a unicorn horn dildo, a jellyfish dildo, and even an orchid here.) They’re a small group of artists living in Central and Coastal Maine. Their nature and fantasy inspired designs are a result of collaboration between them and their friends. As an artist, I love these little individual artist groups. I’ve been investigating another one called Bad Dragon and might have another tentacle to review soon. Theirs doesn’t glow, though… Oh well.

Design: The Tentacle is made of pure silicone and non-toxic pigments. It’s curved with a slight twist that’s great for g-spot stimulation and tapers from a large base for that full-up feeling. Once I get myself worked up enough, I can take the plunge and slide the whole tentacle in.

The suckers actually go all the way down to the base, and if I hold it just right, I can rub my clit against the suckers on the base when the tentacle is all the way in. Great g-spot stimulation, plus that full-up feeling, plus clitoral stimulation equals one awesome orgasm! ~_^

And it glows! How brightly? Pretty bright. Just let it charge in a light source for a little while and you’re good to go. The reason why things glow is because of photo luminescence. As long as light hits the Tentacle, it’ll continue to store photons. It will then give off those photons once the lights are turned off, and that’s what makes it glow. How long you keep it in the light determines how long it’ll glow.

The funny thing about the Tentacle is that it’s more than a dildo; it’s art. If you had it sitting out somewhere, someone might just figure it’s a decoration and that you’re either really into cephalopods or marine life. I wouldn’t recommend leaving it out, though. You don’t want it getting dusty.

Color: Absolutely beautiful. A combination of subtly shimmering blues and a pale glow-in-the-dark green. The pictures really don’t do it justice.

Texture:
Suckers on the front: The Tentacle has dual rows of finely detailed suckers that are way different from any other texture I’ve experienced. They feel great rubbing against my clit and my nipples (Too bad the suckers don’t actually work. ~_^). You can feel the suckers going in, too. It makes an interesting sensation to have part of the dildo covered in suckers and part of it silky smooth.

Smooth on the back: If you need a little break from the suckers, the back is very smooth and glides very well with just a little bit of lube. And if you decide the Tentacle is too strange, but you like the design, there’s also a dildo called the Wave that is pretty much the same thing only it doesn’t have suckers or glow. The picture is the back of the Tentacle, though.

Size:

• Length: 7”
• Insertable Length: 6”
• Circumference: 2 1/4”

Harness Compatible: Nope, sorry.

Suitable for Anal Play: Again, no. Since there’s no flared base, it’s not recommended for anal play. However, the base is pretty large to me and I don’t think it would get lost in there. You never know, though. Don’t want to be rushed to the emergency room with a tentacle dildo up your ass. That would be embarrassing. >.<

Water Play: Of course! Where better to use a Tentacle dildo than in the water!

Material: Pure silicone and non-toxic pigments. A lot of toys that glow can be toxic to your system. The Tentacle is totally safe and non-toxic, though! It’s also non-porous, phthalates-free, hypo-allergenic, and latex free!

Lube: It’s best to use water-based lubes for silicone toys. Some premium silicone toys are able to hold up to silicone-based lubes and not melt, but I wouldn’t chance it. If you really have to use a silicone-based lube, do a patch test first on the base of the toy.

Cleaning: I recommend using a soft toothbrush to thoroughly clean the suckers if you’re going to wash the Tentacle with soap and water by hand. You can also boil it, bleach it, or stick it in the dishwasher.

Packaging: No problems at all. The Tentacle came in a plastic bag with a little slip of paper. No muss, no fuss. No stupid smutty packaging to secretly dispose of. Thank you, Whipspider! ^_^

Pros: It glows! XD Great for hitting the g-spot and any other spot for that matter. Tip tapers down to a thick base for a great full-up feeling. Suckers provide an interesting texture to rub over your clit, nipples, or wherever. The suckers make it nice to just grind against the Tentacle, too. Transfers vibrations well. Clean, simple packaging. Silicone and free of phthalates. Easy to clean and fun to use. Beautiful silicone sculpture from a group of very talented artists.

Cons: Um…well…I’m too chicken to show it to my hubby? Is that a good enough con? ‘Cause I can’t think of anything else…

Summary: 5/5 I really love the Tentacle. It’s one of the first toys I reach for when I’m feeling horny. And I just love the design. Aside from the folks at Whipspider being great artists, I think it was very smart of them to make the Tentacle glow-in-the-dark. One of these days, I’ll pluck up the courage to show it to my hubby. Not sure when that will be, though.

FTC Statement: The Tentacle dildo was bought with a 30% buyout affiliate discount from EdenFantasys’s affiliate review program.

I used to hate coconut. I'm not sure what happened, but ever since my hubby made salsa with coconut rum, I've been a coconut nut. I drank the rest of the coconut rum. And, when that was out, I started craving coconut. For some reason, I get a little bit of butteryness out of coconut and I love butter (No, I'm not southern. Even if I was, you couldn't tell. I only weigh 93lbs now. I really gotta bulk up.)

Anyway, my craving for coconut led me to Hathor Lubricant Lickeurs. After craving coconut for about a month after I finished the rum, I saw the coconut orange Lickeurs and just stared in awe. O.O Must have coconut flavored lube....

The coconut orange lube is just out of this world! Seriously, I could smell it the minute I opened up the box and the little foil seal on the tube wasn't even broken! I couldn't wait to use it (and by the bulge in his pants, neither could my hubby), so I ripped his pants off and went to work. This is definitely my favorite oral lube. It turns my hubby into a tropical treat and even made his cum taste sweeter! (Guys, if you want your cum to taste sweeter even without Stevia sweetened lubes, eat more fruits and vegies. The high chlorophyll content will make it sweeter. Wish I could get my man to eat less meat and more veggies.) Since I have this strange craving left from the coconut rum, the coconut orange Lickeurs has been making me want to suck my hubby off more, much to his delight. Guys, if you know your mate has some strange addiction to a certain flavor, get a lube in that flavor and you'll get head much more often. Trust me.

I've used Hathor Pure before and love the Hathor brand. They're all glycerin and paraben-free vegan lubes. And even though Lickeurs is a sweet treat, it's sweetened with Stevia. That means no yeast infections and it's safe for diabetics! Lickeurs is also safe for use vaginally, for masturbation (if you'd like to fantasize about a tropical get-away ^-^ Can you say, "cabana boys"? Maybe I should make my hubby get a giant palm frawn and fan me after his next blow job. After all, I need to be cooled off after getting all hot and bothered getting him off, right? ~_^), and it's also safe for toys and latex condoms.

And if you don't mind, I'd like to let you in on some of the herbs and whatnot in Lickeurs. (If you don't want the sciency info, scroll down and you'll find the rest of the review.)

Ingredients: De-Ionized Water, Vegetable Propylene Glycol (Kosher), Stevia, Acacia Gum, Jujube Zizyphus, Siberian Ginseng, Horny Goat Weed, Ascorbic Acid and Organic Flavors

Stains: None that I could see.

Waterplay: Works pretty well, I think.

Odor/Taste: OMG Are you kidding? O.O Wonderful! I crave it! I really need to buy some coconut milk or something to put in my drinks. I could get the coconut rum again, but I really shouldn't be drinking that much. As for the smell, it's enough to make me want to use it as a perfume.

Packaging: No problems at all.

Pros: No parabens or glycerine, stevia is safe for diabetics and any who are prone to yeast infections, great for oral, wonderful taste, wonderful smell, contains herbal aphrodisiacs, long-lasting, works well in water, doesn't stain, nice packaging... I can continue to gush, but I think that'll do.

Cons: Uh......I have no idea. I gushed so much on the "pros" that I can't think of any "cons"

Summary: 5/5 I can't tell you how much I love the coconut orange Lickeurs. I could try the other two flavors (strawberry chocolate and caramel hazelnut), but I don't think I would be anywhere near as addicted to them as the coconut orange. It's just what I needed to satisfy my coconut craving, if only for a day or two. ^_^

Well, first of all, I wouldn’t recommend this for Christian couples (Yes, you can be a nympho and still be Christian) or the sensitive types.

Like always, I investigated the product home alone before I introduced it to my hubby. I took out a bunch of cards having to deal either with porn or those for hire. –_-; Ugh… (See pictures lower in post for examples) Then I went through it again and made sure I took out all of the cards that made me feel uncomfortable or ones that I just didn’t want to hear the answer to. I think I took out about half of the Truth and half of the Dare cards because it looked like I had an entire deck in my hand to get rid of. (Haven’t gotten rid of them yet. Debating on whether to put them back and use the game as a contest prize.)

Well, I finally got the gall to bring up the game. How long you play pretty much depends on what cards you get. You could spend a while on cards that encourage you to be open about your fantasies, describe certain things, etc. Or you could pick up a card to act something out and spend the whole night on that. It comes with a little die that has “truth” “dare” and “wild” on it. If you get “wild”, you can pick whichever you want.

How’d it go with us?

Well, ever since that stupid porn incident (don’t ask –_-;), we haven’t been as open with each other. Well… I haven’t, at least. It’s been difficult getting out of the shell that put me in, but I’m working on it. That’s why I became a sex toy reviewer. That way I could get back to my nympho self. It’s been getting better.

Parts of the game helped us re-explore some activities that we’ve lost over time. Other parts made us scratch our heads or stare at each other with an awkward silence. Other times it was just silly and fun. I’m not sure what to make of all of it, but it did help bring us closer to where we were before that stupid incident.

Pros: Decent packaging, helped us be more open and was fun at times, box has little ribbon tabs to make it easier to take out the cards.
Some fun cards ^-^ :

Cons: Had to take out a lot of cards dealing with porn or people for hire. Ended up taking out half of the deck because I was uncomfortable with it.
Some unwanted cards –_- :

Summary: Out of 5, Truth or Dare gets a 2.5 in my book. Half the points because I had to take out half of the deck.

Along with another Halloween goody called the Vamp (vampire dildo for all you Twilight fans!) (Vamp Review) Babeland has just introduced a new line of candy bar themed vibrators! As someone who enjoys sex toys that go beyond the norm, this is a sweet little treat for me (no pun intended...eh, who am I kidding?) *secretly hopes they'll be on the affiliate review list and crosses fingers)

These are really cute. These small, powerful one-speed, hard plastic slimline vibes come cleverly disguised in candy bar costumes (takes 1 AA battery not included). Even the vibrators are dressed up for Halloween this year! lol And you can get them in 5-packs in case you actually decide to hand them out for Halloween! Each one comes in a cute and naughty candy wrapper. ~_^ Here they are:

The Tantus Cock Sling is a cock ring designed to stimulate the perineum. It’s placed over both the shaft and the balls, if you can manage that ^_^; The way the directions look, we figured he needed to be flaccid and then you gently guide the balls in first, then the shaft, then tease the hell out of him to give him a hard on ~_^

Let me clue you in on some of the experience:

“Ok, *looking over the directions*, it goes on like this.”

“Like this?”

“No…turn it around. Ok, now try to guide your balls through it.”

“I can’t. They won’t fit.”

“Yeah, I see that. Um…hmm…maybe more lube? …no, that’s not working… *more gawking at the directions* uh…maybe if you..uh..hmm…”

“Let’s face it, it’s just not going to fit. It’s not big enough. Even if we do get it on, I have serious doubts it’s going to comfortable. It looks like it would barely even fit just my shaft when I’m ready anyway.”

“No, one more try and then I’ll ask the manufacturer if there’s some kind of trick to it. I mean, there has to be some way to get it on…”

“Alright…”

lol This has been one of the hardest cock rings to get on my hubby yet! I mean, the Ultimate Triple Stimulator was such a pain that I had to carve out the inside, but we just can’t get the Tantus Cock Sling on him no matter what! We’ve tried about 4 or 5 times now. Still no luck. He’s just too big. Not that I’m complaining. ~_^ It’s just that the Cock Sling won’t stretch, and it won’t even fit as a regular cock ring. It would just be nice to get the it on him since he likes his perineum stimulated.

Most of the time, he has me position my foot so it rubs against his perineum. That means limited positions. So you can see why I wanted the Cock Sling. I know there’s lots of cock rings out there to choose from, but this way he gets the stimulation he wants and we don’t have to be in the same position each time. It’s just too bad we can’t get it on him, and nobody has any suggestions (If you do, please let me know in the comments box!)

I don’t really know what to say to review the Cock Sling, other than it’s not for the big boys, obviously. ^-^

Material: All Tantus toys are hand-made in the U.S.A. from the highest quality 100% Premium Platinum Silicone. That means they’re hypoallergenic, hygienic, phthalate-free, odorless, tasteless, boilable, bleachable, and completely nontoxic!

Lube: The Tantus website says that you can use any lube with their products because the high quality of the silicone that they use. That means you can use silicone based lubes such as Wet Naturals Silky Supreme or Wet Platinum on it. Tantus does say that you should do a patch test on the toy just in case. Once a silicone lube bonds to a silicone toy, it’s there for life. I used Wet Naturals Silky Supreme, a silicone-based lube free of parabens and glycerin. Worked just fine with the Cock Sling. Didn’t leave any traces of it.

Cleaning: Wash it with warm, soapy water, boil it, bleach it, whatever!
 
Packaging: No problems at all. Make sure you recycle everything!

Pros: Um…it’s phthalate-free and easy to clean! ^_^

Cons: Well, we couldn’t get the Cock Sling on my hubby. Not made for you bigger boys out there.

Summary: Well, I don’t really think I can give the Cock Sling a proper rating since we never could get it on him.

Well, I’ve already tried Wet Naturals Beautifully Bare. So, I figured I might as well give Wet Silky Supreme a try.

One thing I’d really like to make clear, this is a silicone-based lube. It doesn’t say that on the bottle, so be sure to keep your personal lubricants separated! You don’t want to end up accidently using silicone-based lube on a silicone toy and have it melt! Yuck. >.< I usually save my water based lubricants for toys and silicone based lubricants for sex. It’s a bit safer that way.

Alright, now that I’ve got that out of the way, I can move on to the review.

In comparison to Beautifully Bare, Silky Supreme does provide a bit more slippage, but it’s just as runny. It’s very thin. I’ve found that most of the Wet International lubes that I try are thin, though. The only thicker lubes I have are Hathor Aphrodesia and Babelicious (both paraben-free!). I have tried Wet International’s other silicone-based lube called, Wet Platinum. If you ask me, Silky Supreme and Platinum are about the same, only Silky Supreme is supposed to be more natural. Platinum doesn’t have parabens either, though.

Solo play: Had to re-apply some, but once I get my own natural juices flowing it’s not really a problem. I mostly just use a little lube on my clit to get my own juices flowing. It’s better for your body to self-lubricate and it means you waste less lube. Even though it is a silicone-based lube, you can use it on some higher quality silicone toys like the ones made by Tantus. I’ve used it on two Tantus toys, the Vamp and the Cock Sling, and it’s been just fine with both. No melting! Yay!

Couples Play: In terms of couples play, we usually use lube for quickies. Well, not so much quickies…more like he’s horny all of a sudden and it’ll take me a little while to get wet and I don’t want to wait. So, I just grab the lube real quick. Anyway… Slather it on and it should last you at least 10 minutes or so. For the most part, that’s usually all we need, but others may need to reapply. It can get a little sticky, too, if it starts to dry out.

Water Play: To be honest, my Hathor Aphrodesia (water-based) lasted longer in the shower. Could be that the Hathor is thicker. I’m not sure.

Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Cyclomethicone, Phenyl trimethicone, Tocopheryl acetate, Vitamin E acetate

Stains: Not that I’ve seen.

Odor/Taste: No odor or taste. Great for anyone who has allergies to scents (Like some women do. Yes, that includes me –_-;).

Packaging: No problem. I do think they need to put somewhere on the front of the bottle that this lube is silicone-based. You really don’t want to mix the two up. Especially if you use a silicone menstrual cup like I do. I’m not sure if silicone-based lubes are safe for it, but I paid $35 for it and I’m not willing to risk having to buy a new one.

Pros: Just like Platinum, Silky Supreme makes a great moisturizer (Leaves my skin silky smooth!). Winter is almost here and that means my hands are going to be dry. I’ve found out that lube actually works better than lotion sometimes to keep you hands from getting chapped. You could probably use Silky Supreme as a massage oil, too. Paraben and glycerin free. Safe for my Tantus made toys (always do a patch test of silicone-based lubes on silicone toys just to be safe!). No stains, taste, or odor. Suitable for both vaginal and anal play.

Cons: Very thin and runny. Can get sticky and doesn’t last in the shower.

Summary: 4/5 I really don’t have much against the Silky Supreme other than it’s runny and doesn’t last long in the shower. It would be nice, too, if Wet would put somewhere on the front of the bottle that Silky Supreme is silicone-based. I guess you should be able to tell that from the ingredient list, but who’s going to look at that in the heat of the moment? ^-^
