Most people know Wednesday to be “Hump Day”, but today we’re giving it an extra special meaning. You see, today is Spirit Day, a day to remember the recent wave of gay-related suicides that have taken place. People are encouraged, today, to wear purple to show their support for this initiative.
We are of the belief that everyone should be able to live their life free and open without worry of ridicule based upon their sexual orientation. We should do what we can to make our society an open-arms, welcoming community for all.

I’m sure that recently you’ve heard the story of an adult performer who had tested positive for HIV. Because of this news, adult video companies have shut down productions and performers are being tested to see if they have come into contact with the virus as well.
The type of buzz and discussion that this news generated goes to show that AIDS is still a very powerful and relevant subject – especially in today’s culture which broadcasts plenty of sexual themes via television, movies, books and even some video games. Since sex is very prevalent, diseases such as HIV/Aids are also given a higher profile.
There have been many wonderful things done to bring awareness to the subject, including the recent AIDS Walk LA. One of the ladies who works here at Healthy and Active was highly engaged in the effort, even going as far as to help plan/execute a fundraiser to gather additional money for the event. Pictures from the event can be seen via AVN (link).
Now, we all agree that sex is a wonderful experience between partners but we want you to always be safe and sexy. It’s how the Twitter account signs off every day and it something we truly subscribe to.
While this month is about Breast Cancer awareness, use this opportunity to also get tested for testicular cancer (men), HIV and other infections. Have open and honest discussions with your partner about these topics and use condoms.
Be safe and sexy, everyone!

If you haven’t noticed, we’re approaching the 4th of July weekend. For many that means, barbecues, baseball games, fireworks, and extended weekends away from home. In the world of sex toys, this can mean two things: Either you’re going to be taking some toys with you when you go out of town or you’re going to engage in what’s called a ‘staycation’ and spend a majority of the time at home. In either case, allow me the cliche statement of “the fireworks don’t always have to be outside!”
But in honesty, they don’t. One of the problems many couples have is lack of time to really get intimate. It’s something that has to be worked on and planned out. Now, since you have an extra day off for the weekend, you have a chance to plan something out (or be spontaneous). The beauty of fireworks (like purchased fireworks) is that some of them start banging when you least expect, but are definitely a joy once the banging starts. You know what, sex can be the same way (haha, I said banging).
If you’re worried that setting off bedroom fireworks will cost too much, remember Healthy and Active has two categories specifically for you: Toys Under $20.00 and Blowout Sex Toys. Both sections offer plenty of great toys and gear for prices that won’t make your bank account explode (we’d much rather have YOU explode than your bank account, know what I’m saying?).
Did you want to use 4th of July as an excuse to try something new? Maybe you want to dive into the world of strap-on sex. With strap-on sex women can experience the sensation of pounding their partner and men can experience the sensation of being pounded. Each partner can equally discover new stimulations that they might not have experienced before. And using a strap-on doesn’t always have to include the use of a harness. There are many strap ons that are used simply by inserting a bulb into the vagina. With such a wide variety, maybe there’s a chance you can introduce this into your sexual routine.
Lastly, weekends like this invite a chance to gather up some friends for some fun. Consider some adult games. Now first off, some of these games involve the use of alcohol and we want to say that you need to be very responsible when playing such games. While alcohol can make many a person uninhibited we’d rather you stay uninhibited indoors and not try to bring that sense of fun on the highway. Now, having said that, check out games that involve everything from truth/dare to bondage (yes, bondage!)
But no matter what you choose to do for the 4th of July we hope that you have a safe, fun and memorable weekend. Get out there and have some fun (or stay indoors and have an orgasm). Whatever the choice, we wish you the best!

Yep, just like women have a “G-spot” that really gets them moaning, guys have a “P-spot”. The “P” stands for prostate, and is located just a bit beyond the entrance to the rectum in men. Men have reported more intense orgasms when this spot is stimulated, but few people know it even exists! At H&A, we’re all about helping you increase your sexual repertoire and increasing your sex knowledge. After all, the more you know about how to have an intense orgasm, the happier you’ll be (and we like happy people!).
Don’t be shy about the P-spot, there’s quite a collection of Male P-Spot Sex Toys to help you stimulate it and be one sexually satisfied man.
Here’s a glimpse into the toys that can have you panting for breath:
Eupho Massager
Nexus Neo Prostate Massager
Have fun, boys!

With the right person and the right outlook, sex is almost always crazy fun. And while we wouldn’t advocate bringing too much competition into the equation, the ‘always looking out for you’ minds at Healthy&Active.com ‘came’ up with a fun game for you and your partner to play. It’s kind of the grown-up version of the last one there is a rotten egg!
In the interest of keeping things easy on the budget, we suggest a twenty-dollar limit per toy. However, if you want to make this an investment in toys you’ve had your eye on for awhile, go for it!
The Game – The Get Off-Off
Supplies Needed: One Sex Toy Per Partner, One Massage Kit
The Goal: To Be The First Partner To Reach Orgasm
The Reason For Playing: Because Orgasms Are Pretty Awesome
The first step is for you and your partner to choose the toys you’ll use in your oh-so-friendly competition to come. We’ve put together a list of popular pleasure-makers to consider, but encourage you to explore our site further to find the one you’re sure will leave you screaming “I WIN!!!”.
The Prize: First one to leave us a comment on this post that they “got off” or on our Twitter at Twitter.com/Positive_Vibes will be highlighted in a future blog post, with links to your blog or site, if you have one! And you’ll also have “banging rights”…I mean, “bragging rights”!
Good Times Givers For The Girls!
● The Lady Bug Vibrator will first have you saying, “Awwww…How Cute!” But before you know it you’ll be moaning her many other praises! This little lady proves that it’s the small things that matter most, and she just may be your ticket to a wonderful win!
● Do you have more fun playing inside? The Gold Digger Vibrator is the rainy day solution to making the most of slippery conditions. It’s multiple speeds and pleasing appearance help you reach your ‘oh yeah!’ moment in style!
Good Times Givers For The Guys!
● This waterproof Triple Massager makes sure you have all your ‘bases’ covered! A comfortable length and material will have you reaching new heights in pleasure. But will you get there fast enough?! We have reason to believe you just might!
● The Luscious Lips Vibrating Stroker is sure to leave you speechless! Choke back tears of joy as you proudly announce your victory! And hey, even if your partner gets there first, a second-place finish will have never felt this good!
Once a winner has been determined (no cheating!), the loser should be permitted the necessary time to finish the task before humbly accepting defeat and providing the winner with a seriously amazing massage. We recommend our Aromatherapy Massage Set, packed with enough oils for many rematches!
