4 Sex Toy Shows: ANME, XBIZ, SHE and AVN

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

For those of us in the adult toy industry, January kicks off the year as the crazy month, at least for those of us behind the counter. I’m dizzy with the FOUR shows within two weeks starting on Monday, that let me learn, share, buy, grow and my favorite, schmooze. ANME, XBIZ, SHE and AEE/AVN. Hold on to your seats and join me for this whirlwind schedule.
ANME, the Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo, is the beginning of the series of shows on January 12 and 13. While January is considered the slower show of the two shows, the other being held in July), everyone always poses the question: “What’s new?” Ah yes, what’s new. I am sure I’ll be seeing plenty of new styles of pink rabbits, more BDSM related products because of the impending release of the hotly anticipated movie “Fifty Shades of Grey.” The printed version caused a frenzy in our industry two years ago and many of us are hoping that when people actually SEE the dominant and submissive action between the two characters, that they’re gonna run right out and buy lots and lots of equipment from us. Sportsheets is anticipating a newly minted audience rushing out to discreetly buy kits and have prepped themselves with their cleverly titled Sexperiments line, which is so new, we don’t even have them yet on the GrandOpening.com website! But check it soon! I’m sure there will be plenty more at the show and I can’t wait to see everything.
Right after ANME is the XBIZ360 show from January 13-16. It’s a really good, trade only networking and learning event that’s really good. It’s not so much booth oriented but allows plenty of time for schmoozing (my favorite!) and the learning is excellent. Even I learn a lot when I’m there (especially when I poke my head into the adult film and web masters parts of it).  It offers all the cousins in the smut family: adult film industry, the adult toy industry, the adult web industry, or in any aspect of the adult pleasure industry so it’s always fun to get together during this perverted kind of family gathering. My favorite!  XBIZ Industry Executive Awards with YOURS TRULY being nominated as Community Executive of the Year! Can’t wait for that and wish me luck! I’ve been in the biz for 22 years now and in LOTS of communities in this wacky industry I love so much. Stay tuned! I’ll let you know when I win!
And the XBIZ Awards on January 15 are gonna be so hot, it’s gonna scorch the Nokia Theatre in downtown LA! It’s gonna be great. My favorite new gizmo, Bubble Love, is nominated in a few categories so I’ll keep my fingers crossed we win!
The XBIZ 360 event runs into the SHE show which is the Sexual Health Expo, put on by XBIZ at the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills on the weekend of January 17-18. It IS a consumer show and I’m sure there will be many hungry and savvy sex curious attendees wanting to attend every workshop offered. And yes, there are awards to be given out over the weekend for the top female sexual health products on the market today. Another award show, another dress, no problem!
Then it’s home for two days to catch my breath and do laundry and other shit around the house (do I buy groceries?!?) before I drive out to Vegas for the granddaddy of ’em all, the AVN show, aka the big ass porno convention that has been in existence for over 30 years. I’ve been going to it since about 1997 and it’s hard to believe it’s been that long. It’s pretty whack and it’s at the Hard Rock from January 21-24. It’s a crazy time keeping up with all the action there which covers the gamut but in a very different way from all the other shows, mixed with industry folks and a shitload of fans, which I love and drive me crazy at the same time.
And yes, there’s not one but TWO award shows during the event: the O Awards for the adult novelty products and the AVN Awards for all of the other parts of the industry (including – ADULT NOVELTIES!!). That’s two more dresses I need to get!
On Sunday, January 25, I am happy to announce that I’ll be recovering, from what, I don’t know. I’ll be driving back and will leave early enough to avid the stampede down the 15 back home to LA. Two weeks of shows that are back to back and front to front will keep me at a crazy pace and force me to drink far too many 5 Hour Energy Shots (my favorite ones being orange and grape).  I’ll have a lot to write about so as they say in Hollywood (or at least they USED to), “Stay tuned!”
Okay, I’m going to start a tradition which is one of my favorites. As you may know, I have been blogging on XBIZ for years (here’s the link) and I always write a Joke Of The Blog at the end of it, so why not here?
So here’s the first one… there will be a lot more…
Speaking of Vegas, one night a couple had angry sex. You know, the kind you get through because you want to spite your partner, and you get through it but when you’re finished, you know you’re done. After the woman had sex with her husband, she angrily pulled on her clothes, started packing her suitcase and barked “That’s it. I’m done. I’m moving to Las Vegas where I can get $300 for what I just did with you.” Her husband looked up at her and said “Ya think you can survive on $900 a year?”

Even MORE Tips for a Good Time with Your Rabbit Vibe

/0 Comments/in /by

I realized after posting last week about rabbit vibrators that I still had a few more helpful tips I could have offered you. That’s what I’m going to do today: give you even more tips to make the most of your time with the bunny. So sit, back, relax, and get ready for a good time!

One Feature at a Time

Rabbits come with a lot of features built right in. It may be tempting to switch them all on at once but you might send your lady parts into overload. In layman’s terms: ouch! Instead, take it nice and slow. Experiment with one setting at a time. Do you like the vibrating shaft? Great. Now see if the rotation feels good. What about the bouncing, rumbling beads? And don’t forget those bunny ears (or whatever fulfills that purpose on your model). Is the stimulation to your clit enjoyable or too much, too soon? All of the settings and doodads on rabbit vibes are designed to offer pleasure. Just make sure you’re ready for them before you turn all engines to “go.”

Turn the Rabbit Vibe Around

Sounds simple enough, right? If you like a little anal play, turn that bunny around so the clit stimulator tickles your anus. Don’t like it? That’s okay. Turn it back around. Just make sure you wash it before putting it back on your clit.

Get Your Partner Involved

Who said you had to use your new bunny alone? It can be even more enjoyable when you have your partner using the sex toy on you (or vice versa). Just make sure to communicate clearly. If something doesn’t feel good, say so!

Clean It Up

Always, always, always clean your sex toys after using them. You can use a mild anti-bacterial soap or a sex toy cleaner, if you wish. Store your rabbit vibe in a cool and dry place–like your dresser–with the batteries removed until you’re ready to use it again. And if these tips have been a help to you, the “next time” is likely to be very soon!

New to Rabbit Vibrators? 5 Tips for a Guaranteed Good Time

/0 Comments/in /by

If you’ve recently purchased a rabbit vibrator (or you’re thinking about buying one), you might open up the box and get a big question mark on your face. “How the heck am I supposed to use this thing?” you might be thinking. Or, maybe you’re new to the wonderful world of sex toys and are a bit nervous about experimenting with your new gizmo.
rabbit vibrator tips
Whatever category you fall into, here are a few quick tips for getting over your inhibitions so you can get to hopping.
Prep and prime. Before you take your bunny for a test run, wash it well with a mild soap and water. Better yet, use a toy cleaner to remove any germs and chemicals left over from manufacturing. Completely dry it off and put in the batteries.
Press some buttons. Seriously, press the buttons on the vibrator to see what they do. If there’s an instruction manual that came with it, read the key features to familiarize yourself with how this toy works. The last thing you want to do is be fiddling and fumbling in the dark. Test out each of the vibrating functions including speed and pulse variations to figure out what you think you might like best.
Lie back, close your eyes, and turn it on. Just as you experimented with the functions before, now you can experiment with them on your body. Press the shaft of the rabbit vibrator against your vulva. Try out the different speeds to see what feels best. Give yourself (or your partner) plenty of clitoral stimulation to really get the party started.
Insert the toy. Once you’re nice and wet (or you’ve applied generous amounts of lubricant) you can insert the rabbit vibrator into your vagina. Get comfortable with the feeling of the toy inside you before you start up any additional features like the shaft rotation or flicking bunny ears.
Have fun. After a bit of play, you won’t need these tips anymore. Lose yourself in the experience and enjoy all the different sensations this kind of sex toy provides.

Pipedream White Diamond Rabbit Review

/0 Comments/in /by

Who doesn’t need another rabbit in her life? The White Diamond Rabbit from Pipedream is a classy choice and significant upgrade from your standard Rabbit fare. This vibrator features a clear shaft that allows you to see the metal beads inside rotating. These beads are positioned just so to provide ample G Spot stimulation. Plus, you can easily change the settings and speeds thanks to pressable buttons at the base of the shaft.
white diamond rabbit review On the external side of things, the White Diamond Rabbit has thick ears that offer direct clitoral stimulation. The shaft and the rabbit ears have their own vibrators and their own settings, making this an effective dual vibe. The shaft is phthalate-free and measures 6” long.
Let’s talk about how this rabbit vibrator looks for a moment. We already established it’s clear so you can see the beads gyrating away inside, but it also has crystals adorning the base of the shaft. The entire rabbit is encased in white, silver, and clear details, giving it a clean and classy style.

What Did I Think of the White Diamond Rabbit?

To put it simply, the White Diamond Rabbit will appeal to someone looking for something a bit more in their next rabbit vibrator purchase. It’s got a classy look that stands out for all the right reasons. The rotating beads are positioned well for G Spot stimulation and the reverse rotation feature on the shaft is a nice touch. The only real drawback is the motor–it’s a tad on the noisy side. Still, it’s unlikely you’ll even notice the vibrating noise when you’re in the middle of a sexy evening alone or with a partner.
All in all, this is a vibrator that delivers on all the features any good rabbit vibrator should offer–and it looks good doing it.

Je Joue Fifi review

Je Joue Fifi Review

/3 Comments/in /by

The Je Joue Fifi is one of the most un-rabbity rabbits out there and that’s a good thing. It seems like every vibrator wants to be a rabbit nowadays so when I saw the Fifi, I was intrigued. After all, it bears the rabbit shape but its seamless silicone design gives it an ear up on the competition.
Je Joue Fifi review
Let’s talk about some of its features, first. The Je Joue Fifi is rechargeable and has positive and negative spots on the charging end that are magnetized for added convenience. These also work as the vibration and speed controls and you can press the center spot to send this bunny hopping, er, pulsing.
The silicone is what really sells this one for me. The shaft is firmer than the rabbits made from rubber. It doesn’t have those spinning beads, either. The ears don’t have a motor but because they’re made from silicone, too, they pulse and vibrate right along with the rest of the shaft. And with 5 vibration settings and 6 pulsing rhythms, you can optimize this bunny to hit all your right spots. Oh, and add waterproof to the list of features. Want to use it in the bath or shower? Feel free!
I really liked the packaging, too. The Je Joue Fifi comes in a black box, wrapped in a retail sleeve. I chucked the retail sleeve and keep mine in the black box for clean and simple storage.

What Did I Think of the Je Joue Fifi?

Loved it. The Je Joue Fifi may not look like other rabbits. Hell, it might not even offer all the other features of the traditional rabbit, but I didn’t mind one bit. This rabbit picks a few functions and does them well. Brownie points for the hard silicone shaft and ears and easy to use speed and vibration controls.
