5 Ways to Maintain Your Sex Life During COVID-19

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimised by 2020… In fact, it’s hard to imagine anyone that has been unaffected by COVID-19 at this point, and as much as things are slowly starting to improve, I fear we still have a long way to go. Out of everything, the loss of experiences, whether it’s simply going to the pub or going away on that trip you’d planned, is what has seemed to hit people the most. But while those disappointments are easy to express and vocalise, I believe what we’re really missing is human connection and touch. Whether you have partners you’re isolating away from or not, intimacy is something that almost everyone craves, and often it is not just to fulfill sexual desires, but to create and maintain that deeper connection with those that you love. So, how do you achieve that when you’re apart? Well, there’s a lot more to it than just dick pics and phone sex, and so if you’re looking to step up your iso sex game then read on as I list my 5 Ways To Maintain Your Sex Life During COVID-19.

Clitoral Stimulator, Reviews, Silicone, USB Rechargeable, Vibease

Review: Vibease Ruby

All the way back in 2017, a company sent me two amazing products that were so unique that nothing again has ever quite compared. The company was Vibease, and the products were their flagship clitoral vibrator of the same name, and their rabbit vibrator Esthesia. There was a lot to like about these toys, from their strong vibrations to body-safe silicone material, but the thing that was special about them was Vibease’s app, which both products were compatible with. Not only was the app suitable for use in long distance relationships, but it also worked with Vibease’s erotic audio book series, meaning that the toy’s vibrations would increase or decrease in sync with what was happening in the book you were listening to. Perhaps the only downside to all of this however, is that these were Vibease’s only two products, so that once I had them there wasn’t anything new to get excited about. As such, you can imagine how I felt when I recently received an announcement from Vibease informing me that they were going to be releasing a whole new range, including products like the Vibease Ruby!

Review: Deeper Blue Ceramics Lilac Matte

It was at a sex convention that I first fell in love with adult products all those years ago, but while so much has changed in this industry since then, it seems conventions, sadly, have not. Walking into a sex con, such as Sexpo, today, looks much like it did seven years ago, and if anything things have gone backwards. With the vast majority of products being non-body-safe, barely any representation from quality brands or retailers, and questionable guest stars, I find myself struggling more and more each year to attend. But the thing that keeps me going is the thought of finding a diamond in the rough, and by that I mean the opportunity to scout out new local businesses that I might not have found out about otherwise, and then share them with you all. In previous years this has led me to finds such as the MiaMaxx Hand-Held Thruster and Cloudnine Hummingbird, and it’s even where I first met Geeky Sex Toys, who I now work for. But it was at the most recent convention that I first came into contact with a small business who I believe represents everything this industry needs right now, and that business was Deeper Blue Ceramics.

Giveaways

Prioritising Pleasure Giveaway!

Let’s face it, things are pretty bad right now. Whether you’re stuck at home, have lost your job, or are “lucky” enough to be deemed as an essential worker and doing overtime (thank you!!), it’s hard to imagine anyone that this pandemic hasn’t affected at this point. Plus, while most of us spend more time at home, it’s far from the days off we usually daydream about. Anxiety is at an all-time high, and with financial uncertainties growing daily, even the usual comforts of online shopping and take-away food feel out of reach. Most of all, this contrast between both having more free time yet doing less is bringing up feelings of guilt and inadequacy in the best of us, whilst things like self-compassion and pleasure seem all but forgotten. Despite this, staying in touch with our bodies and minds has never been more important, and even if it may seem like the furthest thing from your thoughts, prioritising pleasure is essential right now. As such, I decided to put this giveaway together to help you do exactly that, and so I’ve teamed up with the amazing folks over at Xcitme to help send their fantastic new Sym-B Sensual Collection to five of you lucky readers!

Lovehoney, Reviews, Silicone, USB Rechargeable, Vibrators

Review: Lovehoney Gyr8tor

If I had to name one initiative in the sex toy industry that I really love, I think I would have to say Lovehoney’s Design a Sex Toy competition. Launched in 2009, the contest is essentially just a way for Lovehoney to come up with new sex toy ideas, except unlike other companies who may just take a customer’s idea and run with it, Lovehoney definitely make it worth your while. Aside from a $5K cash prize upon your idea being chosen, you will also receive royalties from the product if Lovehoney decide to actually make it. In fact, you’ve probably heard of the Sqweel, which, aside from being the first product to win the contest, went on to become so popular that it ended up making its creator over $600K AUD in royalties. So yeah, the Lovehoney Design a Sex Toy competition is a pretty big deal, and if you ever have an idea worth entering I’d highly advise it. Anyway, the reason I’m talking about all of this is because today I will be reviewing the latest winner of the contest, which is a toy so different that Lovehoney have even gone so far as to include the word “revolutionary” in its tagline. Introducing… the Lovehoney Gyr8tor.

Review: Xcitme Sym-B Sensual Collection

Versatility is one of the most sought-after and important traits for a sex toy, yet it’s something that continues to seem out of reach for a lot of companies. Whether it’s creating a single toy with multiple uses, such as the MysteryVibe Crescendo or ZALO Amorette, supplements for an existing product, such as the We-Vibe Wand’s attachments or the Uberrime Tentare Tentacle, or a modular toy that can be adapted for alternative uses, such as the Ooh by Je Joue, in my experience these products generally never seem to live up to the lofty claims of their advertising. Out everything I just touched on, however, modular design is the only type that I haven’t personally reviewed before, but it is something I’ve always liked the sound of. I still remember how excited I was when the Ooh by Je Joue first came out in 2015, and how obsessed I was with the idea of being able to buy just one base product and then mix-and-match the attachments I wanted. Which is why it was so upsetting when I finally tested it out at a convention and found that the core toy’s vibrations barely transferred through the modular pieces. As such, when I was recently contacted by Xcitme about their new modular product, the Sym-B, I was both cautious and intrigued. The thing that ultimately made me accept it for review, however, was that unlike the Ooh by Je Joue and similar products, the Sym-B’s attachments have their own motors, which is a game-changer.
