Yes, washing your balls is very important…2

Got wind of this super awesome “infomercial” put together by AXE (the people who make that body spray, deodorant, etc). According to the video, it’s very important — for men — to thoroughly make sure their balls are cleaned.

Great video. Hope you enjoy it.

Come on, baby. Let’s do it doggie style!0

Vibrating Doggie Style Strap

I don’t know what it is, but every time I ask about favorite sexual positions, Doggie Style ends up on the top of the list. Maybe it’s because of the visual look of it or maybe women enjoy it because of the deep penetration and G-Spot stimulation (yeah, that could be part of it). One of the drawbacks, for men, in performing in the doggie style position is the strain on the back. As yummy as it is to be pounding your partner hard from behind, the stress that can be placed on the back is sometimes overwhelming for men.

Sportsheets aimed to solve that trouble when they released their doggie style strap. The strap is designed to ease the pressure off the back, which means more time to have fun in the doggie position. Fast forward to now: Sportsheets has released a vibrating version of their doggie style strap. So not only are women enjoying the pleasure from behind, but the little hidden bullet vibrator will give her stimulation on the clitoris.

If you can just imagine, ladies, having all of that pleasure at one time (yeah, mind-blowing isn’t it?). I encourage you guys to check out the Doggie Style Strap both regular and vibrating editions and see if they can’t help enhance the enjoyment that you’ll have.

Food and Sex0

We all know about that scene in 9 1/2 Weeks, right? The one where Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke basically turn the kitchen into their own sexual playground? Yeah, I’m sure you’re picturing that scene right now, aren’t you? Well if you don’t remember the scene, here it is below:

Which leads me, obviously to a discussion about… world peace! No, I’m kidding. I remember watching this movie and being fascinated by this scene (yes, I actually watched it for the dialogue and interaction) and how food is incorporated into romance. We’ve all seen those moments where a couple is sharing a quality moment in the kitchen, only to have it open up and suddenly they’re walking through a meadow (it’s funny cause in my life that never happens that way).

What also sparked this thought was when I was doing a maintenance check of the store,I remember that we sell products that helped you turn your partner into a tasty little treat.

So, rather than save this for this week’s Hump Day discussion, I wanted to ask now: Do you incorporate food into your sex life? Would you ever consider recreating the type of scene that was in 9 1/2 Weeks?

Tell me about your first adult product! Was it big, baby!?0

Pussy Stroker
One of the great things about having a social channel to reach customers is that you get to learn from them on a daily basis. I have this honor of spending a portion of my day hearing directly from you and finding out what turns you on and make makes you wet (or hard, some particular instances). There hasn’t been a day yet where I haven’t came away (for lack of better phrasing) glad to enjoy some quality time with you guys.

Now, a question I’m tossing out there today is about your first adult product experience. Specifically, I’m interested in your first toy. I want to know what was your first purchased or received toy. Many of us have traveled through the confines of an adult store and picked up that rabbit vibrator or marveled at the size of that dildo, but what was the first product that actually made it through your front doorway (actually, through the front of your bedroom door and through the front opening in between your legs).

I’ll tell you mine: it was one of those male masturbation strokers. You know the ones that are designed to look like an actual vagina. I was given this thing as a gag gift during a friend’s white elephant exchange. He was kind of insistent that I choose it, so I think he was trying to tell me something. When I got this thing home, I stared at it for like 20 minutes. Was I really supposed to place my penis into this thing? Why can’t I just go out to a club that night and come home with a real “stroker” (you feel me!?). Yet, because of insane curiosity, I thought I would give it a try.

I don’t remember, to this day, what specifically that stroker was (this event took place in the early days of college) but I can say that the experience of it was quite different. Strokers do something with your penis that no woman nor your hand can recreate. Even though they are designed to feel like a pussy, this particular stroker couldn’t be warmed up and I don’t remember vaginas feeling like sticking your cock into an igloo.

So now that I’ve put that image into your head, go ahead and tell me about your first experience with an adult toy. Was it what you imagined it to be? Better? Worse? Feel free to share. You can leave a comment on this blog post or share in the conversation over on Facebook.

Hey, men. Keep it longer. harder. better!0

One of our most popular products are cock rings! Any why shouldn’t they be? Cock rings allow men to maintain a longer-lasting erection. This can equal deeper penetration and longer-lasting sex for both partners (and who doesn’t want longer lasting sexual activity!?).

When placed over a semi-erect cock, a cock ring regulates the bloodflow as it leaves the erect penis. I’m sure you all know that it’s blood that fills the cock, during arousal, making it as erect as it is. Surely, you’ve also heard that’s why you know when men are hard (because they become suddenly stupid!) =) But all bad jokes aside, utilizing a cock ring can become one of the best investments a couple can make.

Strict Leather Cock Ring

Cock rings come in various shapes, sizes, styles and materials. It really just depends upon what style you like and what works best for you. Some men might find silicone more comfortable to wear while some men just like that rugged look of leather.

There are even cock rings, such as the Trinity Cock Ring that vibrates. So imagine as you penetrate deeply into your partner, your cock becomes a vibrator — of sorts. If you grind deep enough into your partner, let the cock ring rest against her clitoris for additional stimulation (and deeper moaning!).

Men, who worry about going soft before they need to, could benefit from the use of a cock ring. Healthy and Active has a fine selection of cock rings for you to choose from. We have cock rings from as low as $2.75. So come on in and shop. Impress your partner with your new longer-lasting action.
