The G-spot may seem like a mystery, even to women super in-touch with their bodies. Located about 2 inches on the anterior (belly button side) wall of the vagina, this magical bundle of fun swells when you are aroused, and stimulation through the vaginal walls may lead to more intense orgasms and female ejaculation.  FUN!  Now, I have yet to reach this holy grail of squirting aside from a few dribbles here and there, but this has not dampened my vim and vigour for extensive exploration.  And in the name of (ahem) important research I’m ready to give the Gigi a whirl.

Designed by the good folks at Lelo toys, the Gigi is a piece of design magnificence combined with impressive function. The Gigi comes in a decadent and discreet black box and comes with a satin carrying case, making it obvious that this toy is made for the discerning vibrator aficionado.  This toys is also rechargeable, meaning your ardor will never be dampened by the tragedy of dead batteries.

the Gigi definitely has a lot going for it - the nice but not-too-intense angle at the tip allows for easily putting quite a bit of pressure on the G-spot which many women (present company included) appreciate.  The flat surface (versus a pointier tip that many G-spot toys employ) means that it is easier to stimulate the entire surface of the g-spot, giving more pleasure and a less poke-y sensation.  The toy isn’t huge either, so there are fewer worries about going to far inside and only getting a bit of coincidental G-spot stimulation.  And the real reason we’re all here - the vibration power - is divine.  There are five speeds ranging from subtle purr to beautiful buzz and five different pulsation patterns that include a steady humm, quick bursts of power, longer bursts and a rollicking roller coaster (my personal fave!)  The matte silicone finish adds to the visual allure of this pretty little thing too - the toy is water resistant making clean-up a snap and this sweet vibe is quite a pleasure to behold.

I held this sleek power tool in my hand for a moment before I figured out what to do with it.  Getting the power on seemed a slight task until I remembered that it does in fact come with instructions.  the Gigi’s power controls lock, making it ideal for travel and unlikely to start buzzing away as you galavant to your lover’s boudoir for an evening of play.  I immediately found the vibration to be a bit different than I’m used to - the power here is subtle but deep, making for a delightfully different ride. Switching back and forth from G-spot stimulation to clit play was easy and extra fun.

Did I spray the sheets after a few whirls with the Gigi?  No.  But this is such a fun, gorgeous toy, I’m willing to keep trying as many times as it takes.

Okay, so we know that Valentine’s is really the best time to celebrate some self-lovin’ right?  We’re all clear? For those of you who have partners, you know this too?  Cool.  If that is covered, let’s talk about some of the best toys to get down a deux or trois or more!

The Tango

How do I love this toy?  Let me count the ways!  First, the sleek blue colour is sure to please just about anyone, and the shape is just about perfect.  The Tango does a good job of improving the standard double dildo design and making it work like nothing else before it.  The little vibe placed right above the wearer’s clit is a verrrrry nice touch, too.

The Bo

Why has it taken this long for someone to come out with a safe and sexy rechargeable, silicone cock ring?  Get the Bo in either blue or burgandy and thank the stars and the smartypants at Lelo for making partner sex just that little bit better and buzzier.

Aslan Rubber Jock Harness

While a strap-on looks good all on it’s own, it’s really improved with another person to make use of and admire.  Everyone’s got a favourite, but I can’t get enough of the Aslan Rubber Jock Harness.  Sturdy, comfy and with outstanding control, this long lasting friend is sure to make everyone happy.

Bondage Tape

It’s neither very exciting nor recommended to tie yourself up.  Get someone else to do the honours with this smooth, shiny and sexy Bondage Ribbon.  It sticks to itself, not your skin, and with a little ingenuity, you can make a whole outfit out of the stuff as well!

Flexi Felix Anal Beads

Anal beads work better with an extra helping hand, and the Flexi Felix silicone beads are no different.  I mean, sure, you could use this by yourself, but why deny your special friends the joy of pulling these out of your butt right as you climax?  Share the joy, my friends.

Okay, now go have fun!

We had an amazingly fun time at Granny Boots at the Gladstone Hotel on January 28th!  It was great to see everybody out to celebrate one of the best dirty movies that I have ever seen.  The reviews say more of the same - check out what sex columnist extrordinaire Sasha Van Bon Bon has to say about Champion:

Champion, directed by Shine Louise Houston, tells the story of a mixed martial arts fighter named Jessie — played by stinking-hot real life MMA fighter Syd Blakovich — and her trials in and out of the ring. (Watch the trailer here.) I know I said just last week that buying porn for Valentine’s Day is courting disaster. Yeah, I’m gonna need to take that back in light of this new information.

Firstly, the lighting, sets, music (taiko drumming, a brilliant choice to build fight and sex scenes) and direction are all top-notch, art-house quality. Houston has succeeded in capturing on film the sex you think you’re having when you’re fucking but which — if you’ve ever videotaped yourself and were mortified by the static lumbering combined with fits of frantic jackhammering — seems to have eluded your own lens. (For all you film geeks out there, she shoots on a Panasonic DVX100b at 24p with a 35mm lens adaptor. I don’t know what that means but the results are gorgeous.)

She lingers, with superb editing, on sex scenes that do not dilly-dally themselves. Feverishly hardcore and deeply intimate all at once, the real kissing and passionate oral sex are so arousing and so delightfully greedy compared to the usual faux-lez, slack-jawed tongue rolling, bogus moaning and baby-voiced reprimands.

Every moment of Champion bursts with lust: well-tended butch hands yanking on long, pretty hair, pale flesh all red-hot from slaps, swift, hard penetration and, good lord, finally some decently turned out femmes — no tattered feather boas or god-awful clompy heels. And hey, does your boyfriend suck at digital and oral sex? Are you all like, “Bitch, where’d you learn to handle a pussy, at Butterfly School?” The lad needs to see this movie, trust me. The final scene lacks the same charged charisma as the others but virtually no fast-forwarding, not once.

Thank you, thank you, thank YOU Shine Louise, for making what is hands-down the best pornographic film I have ever seen. Thank you for improving queer female and trans porn by more leaps and bounds than words can adequately express. And thank you most of all for making a movie that I got so out-of-sorts watching at the Toronto premiere that I had to take not one, not two, but three people home to deal with the situation. (One of you left your copy at my house, by the way.) I don’t care who you are or what you like to fuck, it doesn’t seem possible that you won’t find this film utterly captivating. Champion is available locally at Good For Her.

The great thing about pretty much every sex toy, accessory and accoutrement out there is that it’s easy to use it with a partner or solo-style.  There are some toys that fare particularly well for solo play though, and in the spirit of loving yourself this Valentine’s day, here’s a few of our top picks:

1) The Monarch Dildo

This very cute toy comes with practical hinges on the side allowing for hands-free self-penetration.  Just flex the wings of the dill up and in, and you’ll be flying in ecstasy in no time flat!

2) Sex for One

This book is a classic!  Learn great ways to get comfy with your bod and explore all the pleasure available to you right at your fingertips!

3) The Sasi

Like any of these goodies, the Sasi could certainly be used with a partner, but the great thing about the Sasi is how it replicates a tireless and brilliant tongue, and you won’t have to make the Sasi breakfast in the morning.

4) Monsieur Capotain’s Organic Lube

Treat yourself and your body right!  This organic lube is flavourless and odourless though you can treat yourself to Orange or Strawberry to add some sweet scent to your self-loving session!

5) The Rosebud

This toy will pay special attention to your whole vulva, and has a silky smooth texture to keep you coming back for more!

We know that a lot of people out there have no idea where to start when it comes to purchasing a vibrator.  As always, we are here to help!  Check it out, and find the right toy for you!
