Any ladies who are interested in trying toys or new things but hate going to that store to look at them should look into this company called Slumber Parties. You invite your girlfriends over, no men allowed, and provide some light food and drinks. A consultant comes over with the lotions, potions, lingerie, and toys. She does a classy presentation that always generates laughter and makes the ladies feel comfortable. Products can be ordered and taken home that night. There are consultants located everywhere.

Vee - that's so true. I recently became a consultant, and I love the classy way Slumber Parties trains their consultants to present the products! Definitely better than going down to your local "adult book store" and having that guy behind the counter give you "the look"!

The bullet is a great little tool for sex- foreplay and the real deal. Either with something or without, it is a great way to get me closer to the big O so that we can have one together and believe me. . . it is great!

Toys and other "bedroom accessories" are an amazing way to up the intimacy in a relationship! Especially when a couple decides on an item together - and experiments with it together, no matter how low-key (or advanced) it is, it really brings a whole new dimension to your bond together. I actually do "mojo makeovers" for both individuals and couples as part of my job with Booty Parlor Parties (mainly I do in-home parties for ladies only with a super fun hands-on demonstration of different products) But you would be amazed how many guys contact me on their own looking for something to surprise their lady with!

Athena's is also a similar company- based in the northeast that also offers fun, entertaining, and enlightening presentations in the comfort of your own home. That way you can taste, smell, try (well, not really TRY), touch and feel the products in the safety of your girlfriends company. It is pretty lighthearted and fun way to introduce yourself to sex toys. If your interested, the details are on www.athenashn.com/3423

I highly recommend GoodVibes.com as suggested. If you have the opportunity to make it to one of their retail locations, go. It's a warm, friendly environment. Very comfortable and a knowledgeable, non-judgemental staff.

When you say vibrators you should know there are many types. If you don't want something that vibrates maybe you can look into glass. Glass is hypoallergenic and it can be heated or cooled with water. It can be something fun to have by yourself or with a partner. There are so many types of vibrators though you shouldn't rule them out just because you had one you didn't like. There's one for everyone!

I think the "Slumber Parties" are more fun when you make it a couples night :) We did that last fall and EVERYONE had a blast!! You can be a lot more open about the items because it's all in good fun, you don't have the creepy guy behind the counter at the porn shop staring you down. We thought we wanted to be into toys... but it turns out, we do just fine without them =)

I agree with Vee also! The party I went to was for a different company, but the same idea! That's where I got my first toy, and I love it! I never would have gone down to the adult shop and picked one out! I agree with the article in the fact that the bright-colored fancy dildos turn me off, but my hubby sure loves my bullet vibe! ;-) There is definitely something for everyone!

A great place to check out toys are home parties by Partygals. they have a great web page also! check it out www.partygals.biz/sensualbliss they have all top quality toys in every shape size and color you could imagine!

There are many other bedroom accessories that arent just vibrators. Massage items bondage also if you would like to try c-rings that is a great choice for couples to use together. I am a Pure Romance consultant in Minnesota. If anyone has any questions about these items, feel free to email me at megancokley@pureromance.com. If you aren't from Minnesota and would like to host a party I can also help you find a great consultant in your area you can get connected to.

Try a vibrating cock ring. They are cheap ($5), disposable, and feel great for both partners. That way you can try something new you both enjoy without breaking the bank! Hope that helps.
