The
Mojowijo is the very latest in sex toy technology. Billed as the toy that has
transformed cybersex, the Mojowijo vibrator can be connected wirelessly to a
laptop and controlled remotely, meaning that those forced to say goodnight via
Skype could now see their late night calls suddenly spiced up.
The Mojowijo is a sex toy of two parts - one, a traditionally
shaped pink vibrator for the ladies, the other, a blue
ring-shaped device. Both attachments are fitted to a handle that
can be attached to the accessory port on a Nintendo Wii remote
control.
Using Motion2Vibration technology, the device is able to
transform the movements performed by each user into vibration
signals and send them to another selected device, either in the
same room or over the internet.
Couples simply dial into each other's laptops using Skype,
and the presence of both Mojowijos is picked up. Using the
motion of their own remotes, the users can then play with the
settings on their partner's vibrator, upping the frequency or
taking it down as required. So the more one partner moves their
wand, the more the other partner's will vibrate.

| We-Vibe becomes the most successful branded sex toy since the Rabbit Permalink

Soft,
crescent-shaped and Barney-purple, the We-Vibe could pass for an air freshener
in its unremarkable plastic package. It's not what most people imagine when they
think of a sex toy. Launched four years ago by an Ottawa husband-and-wife team,
it's a vibrator for couples that stimulates both partners at once, and outsells
its competitors by three to one.
Now in its third generation, the We-Vibe has become the most
successful branded sex toy since the Rotating Rabbit gained fame
on Sex and the City.
Ex--Nortel Networks engineer Bruce Murison came up with the
idea for the device. His wife, Melody, was the one with the
marketing brainwave. The Murison's company, Standard Innovation,
set out to become a cornerstone of the domesticated,
wellness-oriented side of the sex industry.
Standard Innovation now has 25 full-time employees and have
been working on new features like waterproofing and a remote
control version.
The We-Vibe has always been made from medical-grade silicone,
challenging the idea that sex toys are by definition cheap. At
$150, the We-Vibe has also found a new market as an affordable
luxury for middleclass couples often intimidated by sex shops.

Sex Please, We're British
Tuesday 8th May 10pm, Channel 4
A look behind the scenes of one of the UK's
most successful online sex toy businesses.
Lovehoney, is a thriving operation that
brings sexual pleasure to the women and men of Britain through
the click of a button. Founded in 2002 by Neal Slateford and
Richard Longhurst, Lovehoney has seen its sales increase each
year to £16 millon.
Lovehoney reckon that nearly half of the
nation owns a sex toy. The UK sex toy market is worth an
estimated £250 million. And
with high street retailers such as Boots, Tesco and Superdrug
now stocking erotic toys, the market is set to grow and grow.
More Sex Please, We're British meets
the people working at the company's HQ in Bath, sending out over
11,000 parcels a week - from adult toys and sexy lingerie, to
erotic literature and games.
The cameras also follow the company as it
prepares to revamp the upscale Coco de Mer in London's Covent
Garden and break into the USA.

Even a decade ago, using a vibrator or
(worse!) a male mastubator was an admission of failure, a last
resort for the losers in love who had given up on ever having an
actual flesh-and-blood relationship. All the lonely people, the
Beatles nearly sang, where do they go to come?
But now, according to research group Hewson,
the sex toy market is worth an estimated ?250m a year in the UK.
71% of readers of Fabulous magazine admit to owning a sex toy.
There simply has to be more to this sex toy business than
singletons furiously masturbating - and there is.
What kick-started this wider acceptance of
sex toys was that famous episode of Sex and The City. First
broadcast in 1998, The Tortoise and The Hare saw Charlotte
become a virtual recluse after buying a rabbit vibrator at New
York's Pleasure Chest sex store. The rabbit instantly became the
must-have sex toy for women and is now available in more
varieties than Heinz has ever baked its beans, including
Lovehoney's soon-to-be-launched Happy Rabbit.

The
future of sex tourism lies in robot prostitutes, two Victoria University
researchers have theorised.
Management professor Ian Yeoman, a futurist with an interest in tourism,
and sexologist Michelle Mars have looked to how red light districts might
operate in the year 2050.
The futuristic scenario of sex tourism suggests android prostitutes will
reign supreme, eliminating the risk of contracting sexually transmitted
infections in an industry free from sex slavery.
Their paper: Robots, Men And Sex Tourism, published in the journal
Futures, imagines a sex club in Amsterdam named Yub-Yum.
Sexual tourists will pay about 10,000 Euro for an all-inclusive service
from massages and lap dances to intercourse from the scantily-clad sexbots
parading around.
The androids would be made of bacteria resistant fibre and would be
flushed for human fluids, therefore guaranteeing no STIs are transferred
between consumers.
Clients could feel guilt free as they actually have not had sex with a
real person and would not have to lie to their partner. [Maybe a little bit
of a simplistic view].

San
Francisco's newest museum is sure to cause a buzz when it opens
April 12 -- because it's devoted to vibrators of the past.The
Antique Vibrator Museum is designed to showcase kinky
collectibles from the late 1800s to the 1970s, according to
curator and sexologist Carol Queen:
The new exhibit contextualizes the
vibrator's role in society and highlights how our attitudes
around sex and female pleasure have evolved. It really gives
us an appreciation for how far both society and technology
have come.
The museum showcases vibrators collected since 1977 by the
proprietors of Good Vibrations, a sex shop chain. The new
300-square-foot museum is in the back of the Good Vibrations
shop on Polk Street. Admission is free.

developing a range of vibrators.
A cross-section of British women will be called upon to
create a panel of experts. Over a period of six months, they
will road test the best sex toys on the market, take part in a
range of experiments to determine exactly what turns women on,

motors hug the clit gently, creating a kind of surround-sound of super-powerful

The discreet carrying case is crafted from supple leather. What's more, it
recharges in a USB port, is waterproof, and is nearly silent when turned on.
This trendsetting vibrator earns raves with the media as well, described

| Daily Mail has a knock at Boots for selling sex toys Permalink

See article
from dailymail.co.uk

The
Daily Mail has rounded up a handful of people willing to have a knock at Boots
for selling sex toys within view of children.
The sex toys are a change of policy for Boots. Seven years
ago, the company scrapped plans to sell sex aids alongside
toiletries over fears that stocking them could damage its brand.
A Boots spokeswoman said:
We believe a healthy love life can
improve overall health and wellbeing and our customers have
told us that they would like to buy these products from us.
Approximately 1,200 stores stock these
products and we have worked hard to ensure they are
discreetly packaged and merchandised.
There are no laws restricting the sale
of these products. However, if someone who looks under 16
tries to buy such a product, Boots staff would use their
discretion to decide whether it is suitable for them.'
The toys are sold under the banner Sexual Wellbeing
and strapline Help you and your partner have a more positive
sexual relationship. Example products are the massage
devices Durex Play Dream, Play Discover and Play Delight.
The Daily Mail has rounded up a few inconsequential sound
bites and presented this as a customer backlash.
Grandmother Julie Burgess said:
I am appalled. It's completely
inappropriate. I'm shocked that a store like Boots is
selling sex toys, let alone displaying them so openly.
And Scott Millins:
It's quite disgusting. I've got a
nine-month-old baby boy and a three-year-old son and it
wouldn't be a problem now, but when my young boys are older,
that's definitely not the sort of thing I would want them to
see. Children shouldn't know about that sort of thing until
they're grown up and in a relationship with someone. It's
really not very good at all.
Former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe said:
Boots, which is a family store -- and a
very popular one at that -- should adopt standards that Ann
Summers have been happy to adopt. That says it all.
Boots said it had received four complaints.

Enter
the religious sex-toy industry, which carefully markets and sells a range of
sexual-pleasure products to the faithful. With the voice and disposition of a
summer-camp director, Joy Wilson founded Book 22 a decade ago, when she had
trouble getting her body to respond to her husband after their second
child, and her online search for remedies yielded scandalous imagery that
offended more than it helped. The pioneering site, named after the Biblical book
also known as the Song of Solomon, now faces growing competition from rival
vendors including Hooking Up Holy, Intimacy of Eden, and Covenant Spice.
And the industry grew exponentially this
fall with the launch of the Orthodox Jewish shop Kosher Sex
Toys, and last year with the Muslim vendor El Asira. The sites
even enjoy the support of many community leaders. Religious
people do it like everybody else, said David Ribner, a rabbi
and sex therapist based in Israel, who works as a consultant for
Kosher Sex Toys. Why shouldn't they have access to toys that
make their lives more satisfying?
The burgeoning niche, part of the roughly
$15 billion sex-toy industry, reports that business has been
steadily growing, with most sites shipping a few hundred orders
per month. Clients usually find them through Google, say the
owners, or a thoughtful religious leader or astute sex
therapist. The vendors use many of the same distributors as
secular shops, with most products made in China. Gavriel, a
25-year-old furniture salesman who owns Kosher Sex Toys (and
asked that we use only his middle name) stressed in an
interview, There's nothing wrong with having all the sex you
want.

"A

I knew as soon as the words came out of my mouth that I
was in for a hassle. I was just trying to be honest. After all, isn't that
the best policy when you're crossing the border into the U.S.?
Well, maybe not if you're en route to speak at a sex toy
party convention.
Right ma'am, pull your car over there, please.
The four custom guys stifled giggles as they spent the
next half hour pulling my car apart looking for... for what, semi-automatic
weapons disguised as Rabbit Pearl vibrators? Cocaine-injected dildos?
When they were satisfied I didn't in fact have a trunk
full of illegal French ticklers or whatever it was they were looking for,

Canadian Air Transport Security Authority Policy
Josey Vogols also provides a bit of practical information:
The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority has no
official policy when it comes to traveling with sex toys, and while their
website lists hundreds of items that are and aren't allowed in your carry on
-- Yaqua blowguns: illegal; snow globes: legal -- there is no mention of
anything even remotely sex-toy related.
I called the 1-800 number to inquire if I could bring
vibrators and lube in my carry-on for an upcoming lecture in another city.
The lube would be fine as long as it was 100ml or less. The vibrators? Also
fine as long as I didn't pack spare batteries in my checked luggage.
Handcuffs and whips? One second ma'am, I'll have to check. When he came back
on the line, he told me that only cops and security people can bring
handcuffs on board. The cuffs and whips would have to go in my checked bag.
Good to know. Thank you sir. No problem ma'am. Have a nice day.
US Transportation Security Administration
See
article from
sfgate.com
The Transportation Safety Administration has decreed that vibrators are
OK. The TSA says whips, chains, leashes, restraints and manacles are OK,
too. Any law-abiding citizen has the right to carry any such device onto an
airplane.
TSA spokesman Nico Melendez said passengers could save time with a little
common sense. Inspectors are doing their job. They are trained professionals
and they know a vibrator when they see one. They will not confiscate a
vibrator. But they are trained to pay attention to electronic devices.
Inspectors inspect, he said. If you don't want us to see it, don't
bring it.
Passengers carrying certain X-rated objects that are defined as
club-like should place them in checked luggage. This applies to
anatomically correct cylinders of roughly a foot or so in length. Melendez
said such cylinders or shafts would fall within the broad category that
includes billy clubs, black jacks, brass knuckles, nunchakus and martial
arts weapons. All of those items are OK in checked luggage but not in
carry-on luggage.
Shorter cylindrical items could very well be legal, however. They would
fall into the tool category. The TSA says screwdrivers, wrenches and other
hand tools may be brought aboard in carry-on luggage if they are less
than 7 inches in length. In other words, according to the TSA, size matters.

When
I sat watching Uta, a soft-spoken teacher and practitioner of Taoist sexual
arts, tell a small group of women about popping a tiny jade egg attached to
a wee little string up one's punani as a sort of vaginal maintenance, I was
sceptical.
Of course, I was a firm believer in Kegel exercises and
diligently squeezed and contracted from sphincter to clit at every available
moment. But this seemed far more natural than challenging my lady bits with
accessories like jade eggs or ben wa balls. Images of lazy Thai dancers
blowing trumpets with their love muscles flashed before my eyes and made
mine retract a bit. I mean, who needs fanny weight training right? Well...
Your vagina is an elastic, muscular canal and, like all
muscles, can be toned and strengthened. And there are many reasons you might

Sex toys never get tired and are always conveniently to hand. So it is
little surprise that many women are convinced their partners are threatened
by sex toys.
But the belief is a myth, according to new research, which has found that
the idea is mostly held by women, not their boyfriends or husbands.
A study of over 3,000 people in the U.S. by Indiana University revealed
that 70% of men actually have no problem with women using vibrators. In
contrast, nearly 40% of women said they believed use of sex toys would upset
their boyfriend or husband.
Nearly half of the total respondents were strongly in favour of the
positive statements about sex toys. Less than 10% felt the same way about
negative statements, such as, [using vibrators] makes women too dependent
on them for pleasure, with the remaining percentage issuing indifferent
responses.
Participants, who were aged 18-60, either agreed or strongly agreed with
statements put to them by researchers, such as, [vibrators] make it
easier for a woman to have an orgasm, and [vibrators are] a healthy
part of many women's sex lives. Men and women were given the same
questions.
Debra Herbenick, lead researcher and associate director at Indiana
University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion says her findings
demonstrate how important it is for couples to share sexual interests with
their partners.
She told LiveScience:
This builds on a lot of previous research that has
shown that feeling like you can be intimate with your partner - that you
can share things with them about your sexual desires and interests - is
very important to a couple's sexual life and a woman's sexual
satisfaction.
It's not just the vibrator use but being able to
share those parts of your sexuality with your partner that matters.

There's
one Hitachi product you won't see at the company's trade shows and
conventions - its Magic Wand massager. The Hitachi Magic Wand was
originally designed in the 70s as a two-speed muscle massager, but it soon
became clear this mains-powered electric vibrator was incredible for
intimate, as well as deep-tissue, massage. Renowned as one of the most
powerful vibrators ever invented, it quickly made its way into bedrooms the
world over. However, Hitachi shy away from promoting or featuring the
product.
In a further blow, the product has now been banned by miserable EU
bureaucrats on the grounds that it has now CE kiitemark. Trading
SubStandards have been searching sex toy warehouses and stopping the sale of
the appliance within the entire EU.
LoveHoney have taken advantage of the ban and produced their own
UK-friendly version.
The Lovehoney Mains Powered Magic Wand Vibrator is now available to
soothe and stimulate. What's great about this wand is that it has a UK plug,
meaning it's perfectly designed for totally safe use in the UK with no loss
of power. Stylishly designed with a quality build, this toy is a brilliant
way to experience the iconic magic wand sex toy for yourself.
The Lovehoney Mains Powered Magic Wand Vibrator delivers intense
stimulation to your intimate spots with its range of delectable vibration
speeds. Designed to access those hard-to-reach areas with a flexible head,
this new legend delivers pleasure on demand.

It
seems that Vivienne Pattison has switched sound byte from the Daily Mail
to the Sun.
The Sun reports that a few This Morning viewers were left spluttering
their tea and biscuits over an Item on Monday's show. It featured golden
oldies demonstrating a sex position.
Host Phillip Schofield told astonished viewers: We are going to be
demonstrating positions, showing sex aids and discussing intimate details.
The sex surgery item included various sex toys, including
remote-controlled and glow-in-the-dark vibrators. Meanwhile a pair of
pensioners in pyjamas performed on a double bed accompanied by cheesy
music.
Psychologist Jo Hemmings told viewers: You don't need to be an Olympic
athlete for this. They seem to be enjoying it, it's brilliant!
A few 'shocked' viewers took to Twitter to express their feelings. Chris
Roberts tweeted: I can't believe my eyes #ThisMorning talked about sex
positions and vibrators with over 60s models.
While Marktharparms added: Oh how TV has changed. Phil Schofield and
Holly Willoughby on @itvthismorning discussing vibrators and sex positions
for the over-sixties!
Vivienne Pattison, director of MediaWatch UK, said: Lots of people
were offended.
But only four viewers phoned ITV to complain directly.

weren't so 'outraged' after all

Oh how TV has changed, I wrote on Twitter, as the
topic moved on to comfortable sex positions for the over sixties: Phil
Schofield and Holly Willoughby on ITV This Morning discussing vibrators and
sex positions for the over-sixties!
Now, let's get one thing straight: I'm no prude. I am
one of the most open-minded, liberal individuals you are ever likely to
encounter and I found the fact that a Sir Stirling Moss looky-likey, in blue
silk pyjamas on a studio double-bed being straddled by an excited looking
granny, highly entertaining. In fact, I was close to tears with laughter.
My tweet referred to the fact that not that long ago
such shenanigans would have been frowned on if they'd been shown after the
9pm watershed, let alone at 11am on a Monday morning.
I'm quite aware that the things I say on Twitter might
occasionally get picked up and used in the media, but the Daily Mail -- that
harbinger of doom for the pub trade -- wrote a shock-and-awe piece on
yesterday's This Morning and detailed how horrified members of the public
were expressing their disgust via Twitter.
My tweet was there in glorious detail, citing me --
along with two others -- as complaining about the material. I'm quite happy
for the Daily Mail to have used the message, but I'd just like to clarify
something: it should have been listed on the line beneath, where one tweeter
was said to have found the piece amusing and commented on having had worse
days than receiving sex education from Holly Willoughby.

Luxury
sex toy innovator Je Joue has officially revealed the first three
designs in a new product range.
First in the series is MiMi with a revamped three-button interface that

Mimi the most versatile elegantly discreet massager in the luxury market
with.
Next is Uma, a beautiful and powerful take on the traditional. Uma is a
slender insertable massager with enough girth to provide the full feeling
users crave with a slight curve for gentle G-spot stimulation. It features
the same interface as its little sister MiMi.
The final form is FiFi, an innovative design inspired by the iconic
rabbit vibrator. Featuring three independent motors and a wide head designed
for G-spot massage, FiFi offers ears that function separately via
individual motors. Again it features the MiMi control interface.
