Finding A Ring That Fits
Sometimes I am asked a question that I find difficult to answer. Why you may ask? Because I am not a man. I cannot experience what a man feels, or measure my penis. So when I am asked about penis rings, you can only imagine how hard it can get to explain the technicalities. So with my trusty BeDaring buying guides, store managers and buyers on stand by I will answer some frequently asked questions.

The Hype behind Fifty Shades of Grey
The Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy has generated much controversy since its publication. Whether this controversy is caused by the subject matter, an inaccurate portrayal of BDSM and its community, or the depiction of a dysfunctional relationship as healthy , these books have opened the way for wider discussions on sexuality and sexual practices. The once tabooed practice of BDSM (Bondage & Discipline, Sadism & Masochism) was a great focus of these books and, because of this, has been brought into the spotlight and freely talked about. In fact, pleasure brand LELO reported a 50% increase in bondage toy sales since the novels release and the number of people experimenting with bondage and role playing games is rising dramatically.

Working in the adult industry I get asked a lot of questions. Whether it’s about products or just the industry in general I have a lot to answer too. Every shift I am having to break taboos and explain how our bodies really work. In this blog I’m going to answer some of those questions.
The Age of the iGasm
Ah, the 21st Century. In this modern age of convenience, one can hardly imagine life without smartphones, internet banking or those blessed little robots that do the vacuuming (whilst I watch regally with a mimosa in hand). Indeed, in this age of marvels, when I now possess the ability to switch on my air conditioner, oven, fridge or DVR from the convenience of just about anywhere; surely, it is inconceivable that those light bulb groupies in Adult Toy R & D haven’t applied simular technology to the humble vibrator.

The desire for intimacy is timeless. Studies now confirm that no matter what your age, you can enjoy sex, a healthy libido and desire for intimacy for as long as you wish. While sex may not be the same as it was....
Revelations of working for an Adult Retailer
Having being bought up in a fairly religious family discussions of visiting an adult store or adult toys in general had never crossed the family dinner table but after life takes it’s twists and turns I found myself attending marriage guidance counseling where the counsellor recommended visiting an Adult Shop to spark things up. After being a customer for a decade I joined their staff at head office in their marketing department. Admittedly the first few months saw the new web programmer and I giggling like 12 year olds over large amounts of stock arriving from all over the world...
Tightening Your Anal Muscles
When it comes to anal play, some people like to experiment and play with toys that become progressively larger over time – ending in the XL to Extreme range. These larger toys offer a much more pronounced sensation of fullness, but used incorrectly can lead to permanent stretching in the area or other ill effects such as: internal tearing, rectal prolapse, anal leakage or other embarrassing and other slow healing issues. The best preventative and recovery strategy would be exercise...
Swings and Slings
Toys can be a great investment whether it's just for you, or for you and your partner to play with. After all we as humans are not perfect. Our hands cramp and our jaws get tired, so a toy can keep going and provide that constant stimulation when we cannot. Though it can difficult to incorporate toys in the bedroom.
