Does a truly “sure thing” exist? Oprah and Dr. Berman seem to think so, since that’s what they called the Aphrodite sex toy on “Oprah’s Best Life” series. Dr. Berman created the Aphrodite just for women who have trouble achieving orgasm – and ladies there are more women out there who are missing out than you might think! That’s a situation we’re trying to change at Bliss Connection by bringing you sex toys like the Aphrodite.

What makes the Aphrodite stand out among sex toys is that it has a warming infrared head on one side and interchangeable silicone attachments on the other. The smooth, pinpoint and nubby heads will give you a variety of sensations – play around and experiment with it to see what you like best! I love that the silicone attachments are a little bit soft and flexible, and that you can bend the head to get just the right angle. It has two speeds (low and high) but you can only use the infrared head on the low speed.

Another sweet thing about the Aphrodite is that the infrared heat makes it a nice all-over massager. Start with a sexy exotic massage with your partner and let the Aphrodite do its thing. If you need some tips on how to use the Aphrodite with your partner, check out this blog post about 9 Ways to Use Your Vibrator With Your Guy.

The Aphrodite is a rechargeable sex toy, so while there’s no messing around with a cumbersome cord or scrambling for fresh batteries, you have to remember to fully charge it if you don’t want the vibrator dying at a crucial moment. You’ll definitely want to give it a full 24 hours to charge up before you first try it out, and try to charge it for 12 hours between uses if you want it to perform at its best. The Aphrodite is not the quietest vibrator we carry, nor is it what I’d call petite – but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it just depends on what you’re in the market for, and after all, Oprah called it a “sure thing!”

This toy is just beautiful to look at, isn’t it? It doesn’t hurt that purple is my favorite color. This is sort of a plum color, but it is gorgeous. As I said on my online store about this toy … “it’s like buttah!”  (BTW, I did also write a 5 star review for another Jopen rechargeable toy called the vr7 here. )

Jopen.com makes all of these unique looking rechargeable sex toys for women. They are all beautiful and you have to love the fact that there are no batteries required! It plugs into a little plug that looks like a cell phone charger. Purrfect!

I love pretty much all style of “twice as nice” toys which are the style of toys that give you a little bit of penetration and clitoral stimulation all in one toy. Let’s face it. We need clitoral stimulation to have an orgasm most times. And, this toy provides just that. And I love that the Jopen line is waterproof and super quiet. And, my favorite way to clean this toy and all of my own personal sex toys is with an unscented baby wipes! (And here is a blog that I wrote with some tips for helping your sex toys to last longer.)

So, to the toy. Ok, I am giving it 5 stars out of 5 stars. I wish it were more affordable, but it is a luxurious sex toy and worth every penny if you have the budget.  When you first receive it, it only takes 4 hours to give it a full charge and the charge lasts forever and ever. Seriously impressed. Much better charge then my damn droid cell phones from Verizon.

This toy is great for Moms and people who have roommates because it is one of the quietest toys I have ever used. And, I know the sound level of some toys can actually make it difficult for women to climax. Many times, when you get a toy with a clit stimulator, they can get REALLY loud…. especially when you are pushing it down on your clitoris. Not this one! Love that. I think the women who desiged the Jopen toys have kids at home maybe. And I love how flexy and bendy the beautiful clitoral stimulator is on this toy. You can do all kind of positions and gyrations with this super bendy “musical note” looking vibrator!

Your partner can have you in their arms and have the toy in their hands using it softly all over your body and can continue to make out with you or kiss you all over while using the toy all over. When the time is right, they can begin using it all over your inner thighs and go from there to the really good bits!

Something that is also very unique about the Jopen.com toys is their warranty. All of Jopen.com ‘s toys have a 1 year warranty and an optional 10 year guarantee. That is pretty amazing and super cool given that this toy is on the high end side of life when it comes to sex toys.

People often get confused and think of sex toys as something you only use alone.  They are a fabulous way to enhance your love making TOGETHER and we are going to outline some ideas for how to use your vibrators with your guy. Obviously, they are fab for solo fun; but sex toys can REALLY amp up the intensity of partner sex. If you have a male partner that is a little bit apprenhensive about incorporating a sex toy, just do as my friend Joan Price says and tell him you’re ready for a “threesome.” You, him and B.O.B. (Battery Operated Boyfriend.)

If he is hesitant, make it all about him. Tell him you are going to use it on him to give him a porn star style b.j.  Or, tell him you will get on top and put the vibe between the two of you on your clitoris.  He will appreciate the fact that he gets to look at your face, see and touch your breasts and that you are going to do all of the work.

Sexy Ways to Use Your Sex Toy WITH Him: Sex Toys are an Appetizer, Men are the Entree

1.  While you are giving him a b.j. put the vibrator against your cheek on the outside so he can feel your mouth humming and vibrating.  Just adds a bit of tingle and a new sensation for him. (You can try the simple silver bullet for this toy.)

2. Take your panties or g-string off and wrap a bullet style vibrator in your panties and then rub the vibrator on his testicles, the shaft of his penis, all over his nipples and then maybe a little on your nipples, too. He will feel the silkiness of your panties and the vibe! FUN!

3. For men who are more comfortable with a vibrator, rub it on his testicles while you are giving him oral. This can make a b.j. very efficient, ladies. (Some men finish much more quickly then normal when they have a vibe on their balls. Just saying.)

4.  For men that are super comfortable with toys, rub a little lube on the perenium (taint) and rub that area with a small vibe. Make sure he knows he can trust you not to do anything he is not comfortable with while you are in that area. (Most men describe a prostate massage as one of the most intense orgasms they have ever felt, but not all men are ready for that and NOBODY wants to be surprised in that area.) But, light vibration under the balls on that little soft spot can be very intense for them. (Have you seen the Aneros prostate massager toys for men?)

5. How about giving him a massage and tucking a small vibe into your hands while you massage his inner thighs, his back, his neck and the back of his thighs with some oil and a vibe. There is also something called a massage mitt which you can use for massage and tuck in a vibe into the mitt.

6.  While he is going down on you, have him slide a small g-spot toy like the Finger Fun into your vagina with the g-spot tip angled towards your g-spot which is on the belly button wall of your vajayjay. You will have a super intense orgasm and it will make oral on you VERY efficient. He can also tease your clitoris with it and help you to have a clitoral orgasm very quickly…. or maybe two… or three…. or four ???

7. Give up total control and give him the battery pack. Try giving him a b.j. or while he is inside of you, put it on you clitoris. Give him the control and let him turn the vibe up or down. (Very fun with the 5 speed bullet as it has 5 pulsations and escalations and can get you trembling and climaxing together!) You won’t know where he is going with it and it can really add to the anticipation and the playfulness that will make your experience that much better.

8. Tie him up or maybe just blindfold him and make it all about him for an hour or a half an hour. Get him good and relaxed and touch every inch of his body with your hands, tongue and body…but occasionally slide a vibrator on low on his more sensitve areas…. but avoid touching his penis for a little while. Have fun watching his penis twitch, get hard, relax,  get hard and repeat. You can get a feel for which sensations he REALLY likes and which sensations he really DOES NOT like by watching the reaction of his penis. FILE THIS AWAY ladies!  Good info for later. (A fun toy for this type of play is the Mystic Wand. It’s truly a cordless back massager and it’s got 7 speeds and some of them are very low which can be nice for this kind of exploration.)

9. Last but not least, find your favorite toy in your dirty drawer and give it to him. Let me know you want a little warm up with your fave toy, but you want to include him. Have him strip down, lay next to you, cradle your back or neck with one of his arms so you are face to face and able to make out. He has the toy in his other hand and can use it on you while still feeling like is a part of the process. (Though some men love to be in the “catchers” position up close and personal with the toy and your clitoris.) It’s a great way to feel very connected when you are using a toy with your lover.

For women, a small vibrator on their clitoris is pretty much a guaranteed orgasm.  Our BONUS TIP #10. When you are making love, put a small bullet on her clitoris while she is on her back, or while you are having sex doggy style, or on her side, her on top, reverse cowgirl.. you name it, it works. She gets the benefit of a clitoral orgasm from penetration which rarely happens. He gets the bonus of knowing she had an orgasm so he does not have to worry and ask that dreaded question. And, when a woman climaxes, her vagina contracts and tightens down on the penis and can really enhance his experience! It’s a WIN WIN!

Enthusiasm is everyone’s favorite sexual technique and this is especially true when it comes to oral sex! At Bliss, we do offer HOME Blow Job classes and we also do a b.j. group class about once a quarter here in the Bay Area. (More about our blow job home parties here.)

Here are some of the tips we share in our blow job ebook. This 16 page ebook teaches you how to give a gourmet blow job, how to give an efficient blow job and the how and why women LOVE cock rings! (And a little penis ring 101 so you know how to use it when you buy one.)

If you would like to buy our “Blow Job e-book” the link is here and the blow job book is only $4.99 and I do have a money back guarantee. If you’re not happy with it, I will be happy to refund your money, too.   Blow Job e-book purchase here:  http://www.blisspartiesinc.com/eBook___Gourmet.html

How to give a gourmet blow job:

1.  Like with all really great sex, enthusiasm is the HOTTEST technique you can bring to your blow job for your lover. Everyone can tell when you are NOT enjoying yourself orally.

2.  Set the mood and the room. Make sure you can be comfortable for a good 20 minutes. We are talking about total worship of his penis and balls. Get cozy and plan on prolonging the b.j.

3.  Make out with his penis. For women, making out and dry humping gets us super turned on. For men, you making out and orally worshipping his cock gets him super turned on.

4.  Your tongue is the strongest muscle in your body. Use it. And use it well. Use it all over and use it with varying types of pressure. When you are using your mouth on his penis, be sure to remember to get your tongue moving around alot, too.

5.  Be sure your mouth is VERY wet. Sometimes brushing your teeth and tongue - especially if you can really get your toothbrush to the back of your throat – that can help your mouth start to salivate. And if you get the penis or the toothbrush way to the back of your throat – it does help to bring up that VERY thick saliva which can make the b.j. very sloppy and fun.

Good fortune? Being very prolific or speedy? YES! All of the above. But how about a Jack Rabbit that is also waterproof and made with silicone? How about a Jack Rabbit that is cordless and whisper quiet? (People always ask me why so many sex toys have a rabbit on them. I tell them my guess is that they chose the rabbit because they are so prolific… and that’s a polite way of saying horny.)

Well it was my good fortune to get a sample of the new Silicone Jack Rabbit from Cal Exotics as part of their Sex Toy Expert blogging program. So, yaaaaa for rabbits and good fortune!

At our home Bliss pleasure parties, I do get asked often about toys that women (and especially Moms) can use in the shower or the hot tub. Sometimes the bathroom is the only place we can get any real privacy and ME time, right? And, many women have been in love / lust with their rabbits over the years and have been excitedly awaiting a waterproof rabbit that is well made, provides enough vibration and is quiet enough that it will not sound like there is a leaf blower in their bathroom.

I love the skin on this rabbit. It’s silicone so it feels very velvety and very luxurious. I do not really get the reverse rotation button on this toy, but the other features are fab. (I have noticed that several rabbit style toys have this “clockwise/counter clockwise” switch that lets you switch up the way the pearls rotate. I never really understood the joy in that, but apparantly some women like it.

 If you are a follower of my blog or my Facebook posts, you may know that I love the 5 Speed Bullet like nobody’s business. I love it because I love the 5 speeds of pulsation and escalation. This Silicone Jack Rabbit also has pulsations and escalations. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 7 speeds to be exact.  And, because it takes 3 AAA batteries, MORE POWER! (Well, enough power. Not quite as much power as the 9v battery in the 5 Speed Bullet - but enough power to get’er done.)

This rabbit is about 5″ of insertable shaft and about 1.75″ of girth. From tip to the bottom of the battery pack, I would say the toy is about 10″ long. It’s also much lighter then the Waterproof Jack Rabbit from Cal Exotics which can get very heavy in your hand if you use it for an extended amount of time. I know it may sound strange, but it is something you need to give some thought to when you are buying a sex toy. Your arm can get fatigued when the toy is super heavy. This silicone jack rabbit is nice and light and super quiet – even with three batteries powering the motor.

I think this toy may stay in my shower caddy!

And, btw, if you like our blog you can subcsribe to it for .99 cents a month and read it on your Kindle. Here is the link to see our Blog “Everyone Wants to Have Better Sex” on Amazon. Just .99 cents a month. Kind of fun and you can cancel it any time if you’re not satisfied with it.

It’s so nice that the sex toy industry is now so focused on making artful and beautiful sex toys. So many companies are making these toys that look like pieces of art. When I first got the Colette Curved Massager from Cal Exotics I was very impressed with how beautiful it was. Yaaaaa. (Another beautiful toy from Cal Exotics it the L’Amour. I reviewed it here, too, on our Bliss blog.)

And, I was also impressed with the weight of this toy. When you have it in your hand, it has a little heft and weight to it. It’s also fairly girthy and I would describe it like a very girthy banana. The dildo is about 6.5″ long but only about 6″ insertable. But, honestly, I find that while women seem to enjoy large penises – they seem to prefer toys that are not so big. And, I should mention this toy was sent to me by Cal Exotics as I am one of their sex toy reviewers for their Sex Toy Sex Expert toy review program. Have I mentioned I love my job?

I have personally facilitated over 1,300 Bliss Pleasure Parties in the last 8 1/2 years and I find that women are really only looking for about 4″ of insertion from a toy. But, that is good news is that with this toy you can insert as much or as little as you like. When the toy is longer then 4″ the rest of the toy is a handle which is nice when you are using the toy alone.

What I really loved about this toy, the Colette Curved Massager, is the POWER and the variations on the speeds and pulsations. If you know me at all or if you follow my blog, you know I like toys that tease the clitoris and that provide a variety of speeds and pulsations. My all time favorite toy ever is the 5 Speed Bullet and I talk about it all of the time in person, on Facebook and on this blog, too! The Colette has similar speed and pulsations and that makes my heart sing!

I also love that this toy is made with a very yummy silicon and it is completely body safe. No phthalates in this toy so it’s perfectly safe for vaginal insertion. And, if you want this toy to last a VERY long time then take the batteries out in between use. Taking the batteries out of your sex toys does help them to last much much longer. (Plus, have you ever had your batteries like and go bad and ruin a sex toy? It just plain pisses me off when $8.00 worth of batteries ruin a $100 sex toy.)

We do sell the Colette Curved Massager on our Online Sex Toy Store www.BlissConnection.com along with various other toys in this line of Couture Collection from Cal Exotics.

The L’Amour Seduction toy is artfully and beautifully designed. It’s so pleasing to the eye which cannot be said of all sex toys as I am sure you know. But, when this vibrator arrived as part of the Cal Exotics Sex Expert program, I was very pleased by the way it looked.

When I opened the packaging, I was also thrilled to see that Cal Exotics used their very yummy silicone on this “twice as nice” dual stimulator style toy. The texture of the toy is almost velvety and super soft and luxurious. We found that you may not even need to use lubrication with this toy when inserting it… it’s that smooth.

The shaft of this “rabbit” style toy is about 8″ long, but truly only about 4 to 5″ insertable. Since this toy has a clitoral stimulator, it does sort of stop the toy from inserting all the way in – which is just perfect. I find that most women want about 3 to 4″ insertable and a strong vibrator on the clitoris. You get that twice as nice feeling with the shaft giving you the penetratation or “fullness” feeling and then the clitoral vibrator which is most likely going to be the part of this toy that gives you your climax.

This toy the Seduction takes 2 AAA batteries and is waterproof and splashproof. And, thanks to the lovely silicone material, the vibration does travel all the way to through the shaft. The vibration in the shaft likely would not give anyone an orgasm, but the clitoral stimulator certainly will. Much more power to the clit then to the shaft.

If you are new to the rabbit style or “twice as nice” dual stimulators, I think this would be a great toy to start off with to see if you might like that style. It’s not super expensive and probably most budgets could afford the L’Amour Seduction vibe. At BlissConnection.com   we sell the vibe for $75. (And we always offer free shipping on purchases over $45.)

Overall, this is a nice toy. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars and a great value for the money. It’s super easy to clean and care for. And, just like with all toys, do take the batteries out in between use if you want them to last longer.

Would love to hear your opinion of this vibrator.

The first product ever scientifically proven to mask the taste of semen. www.YourMasque.com is designed for oral sex on him. And I am interviewing the founder of the company tomorrow on Better Sex Radio. To tune in you can listen live at 11 a.m. Pacific at www.blogtalkradio.com/blissradio .

Years of research have led to this breakthrough for your bedroom. Masque is a paper-thin, gel strip that dissolves on your tongue and completely disguises the taste of semen during oral sex for up to fifteen amazing minutes. We’ll work our magic, while you work yours.

How does it work?

Masque is partially comprised of flavor masking ingredients that work to block taste profiles associated with oral sex on men, and semen (salts, bitters, and proteins). These masking ingredients are all microencapsulated into an orally dissolvable, flavored strip.

Is Masque like other novelty products? (e.g. flavored lubricants and flavored condoms)

No, Masque is not another flavored novelty product. Masque has been designed by a team of scientists and researchers who have engineered a formula combining individual taste receptor blockers which are microencapsulated in a paper thin, dissolvable, oral gel strip.

Couldn’t I just use a mint or Altoid for a similar effect?

Masque doesn’t overwhelm the flavor or cover it in the way that a mint does. For up to fifteen minutes after the strip dissolves on your tongue, the salts, bitter and protein are completely masked to your taste receptors.

Is Masque just like a Listerine® strip?

Masque is a similar product to Listerine® strips in that they are both dissolvable oral strips. The similarities end there. Masque actively conceals all flavors associated with going down on your man.

What flavors does Masque come in?

Masque is currently available in Strawberry, Watermelon and Chocolate. Each has a slight menthol hint.

When will you release other flavors?

We are currently in various phases of development of other flavors. If you have a suggestion for a flavor you’d like to see, drop us a line.

How long will it last?

Masque is fast-acting with immediate results after the strip dissolves. Initially the masking technology was designed to last approximately 10 minutes, but since then, individual usage tests have shown strips typically last up to 15 minutes and in some cases longer.

Great idea, right?

A blow job should not feel like a job!

Believe me. I get it. Some days it feels like a job and some days it feels like fun. Hopefully more often fun then a job. But, the reality is that there are days when it feels like a chore. I have some tips to share with you here for those days. I like to call these my “efficient blow job” tips.

1. Use a vibrator or vibrating cock ring on his penis or balls while going down on him (On the shaft, on the torso, the testicles, all over)

2. Pay special (and very wet) attention to his testicles with your tongue while stroking the shaft of his penis at the same time.

3. Use a wet finger on the A.B.C. (ass-ball-connector) while you have your mouth on the head and your other hand on the shaft. (A good water based lube can really help with this, too.)

We have a few more and some of them are a little bit advanced (read: kinky) for our blog. But, if you would like to learn 3 or 4 more tips for giving an efficient b.j. you can buy our eBook. Our eBook is 14 pages full of tips for how to use penis rings properly. And, it includes lots of tips for giving the gourmet b.j. and additional tips for giving an efficient b.j.

Our Bliss eBook is only $4.99 and you can purchase our ebook here.
