I should play more tennis (another banned commercial)0

The envelope is being pushed all of the time as companies try to find that right balance of enticement and value. Here we have the upcoming game Top Spin 4 by 2k Sports. They’re spokeswoman for the game, tennis superstar Serena Williams engages in a very (shall we say) hawt game of tennis with another female player.

By the way, the grunting you hear is really the type of grunting that you hear during a typical women’s tennis match. And let’s be real who hasn’t imagined that that’s how they would sound in the bedroom? Anyone?! Oh, just me!?

In any event, here’s the commercial (in its entirety) for you to decide if it’s worth being part of the banned list.

I do dig the outfits, also!

Keeping Japan in our prayers!0

By now, we’ve all seen the continued aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that has erupted over in Japan. You have to be proud of how resilient and forward-thinking the Japanese people are, even in the face of continued dangers – like the nuclear reactor sites. The staff of Healthy and Active wishes to send prayers, thoughts and good wishes to those who have been affected by this tragedy in any way imaginable.

At the same time, we want to let you readers know to be safe. It’s in times like this that many of us want to show a strong compassionate side and help the people of Japan by donating to various organizations. However, this is also a time when spammers and scammers decide that they want to take advantage of that generosity for their own personal/financial gain.

So be diligent about who you donate your money to. I highly recommend giving straight to the Red Cross, for example, through their official website or through a text donation.

When receiving any correspondence about helping for the Japan efforts, there’s nothing wrong with stepping back and vetting the source of the correspondence.

So you stay safe while making Japan safer. =)

Thanks, everyone.

How’s this for frequent blog posts?0

Haha, sorry folks.

As it is with the Valentine’s Day season, things got pretty hectic around here. Apparently you all enjoy using toys and stuff in the bedroom for sex (who knew!?) Well we’re glad that we’re able to provide you with some of the pure awesomeness that made its way into your bed (and any other areas that shall not be mentioned here).

Of course, the next question for any sex toy operation is what do you do after Valentine’s Day. It’s no secret that holidays like Christmas and Valentine’s Day are the key times of the calendar for sex toy shops. It’s that time from March through Summer where being creative helps out both you and us.

So here I tell you what. You keep an eye out on our Twitter and Facebook accounts and we’ll put together specials and deals that will make it seem like Christmas all year long (and if I have to tie Valentine’s Day into this, we’ll show you 365 days of love).

The ultimate goal, for us, is to provide the means that you can obtain the stuff to make any night a passionate night for you and your partner. Sure Christmas and Valentine’s Day are important days, but love should be shared all year long and we aim to help you celebrate 12 months of passion, not just 2 days.

So, if I were you, I would head to our home page and subscribe to our newsletter because that’s where we’ll do some of the really awesome deals. But if you’re satisfied with following us on Twitter and Facebook, only, we’ll make sure that you find some great things there as well.

Hope everyone is having a great week.

Aww, poor Thanksgiving0

Is anyone in the audience a middle child? Then I think you can sympathize with Thanksgiving. It seems like more and more, retailers are looking past the day of thanks, turkey and family and more towards the Christmas holiday (the baby of the family). If you looked at Thanksgiving as the middle child to Halloween and Christmas Day, then Thanksgiving is stuck in a limbo trying to find its identity.

Now I’m not a middle child, so I can’t give a true understanding, but I’m hearing stories from friends who are already seeing Christmas decorations and gift ideas being displayed on shelves. At this rate, we’ll see Valentine’s Day items in Mid-December.

Listen, everyone. Let’s not be so quick to look past Thanksgiving and all of the wonderful things that it offers. I know that Christmas Day is a joy primarily because we get a bunch of new stuff, but Thanksgiving is a great holiday for spending with family and enjoying everyone’s company and seeing how they did throughout the year.

Now I know some of you are saying: “Um, have you seen my family?”. That may be, but Thanksgiving also brings with it some days off (and the workers shall rejoice!)

Besides, Thanksgiving is also a ready-made excuse for having a food fight with your partner and then having to eat all of that stuff off when you’re done (see I could still make this sexual).

Hey, Thanksgiving! We at Healthy and Active still love you! BIG HUG!
