Love Sucks?

Monday, February 12th, 2024 -- by Bacchus

The management would like you to remember that while love may suck, the Kink.com Love Sucks sale in honor of Valentine’s Day can guarantee that your holiday needn’t suck, even if you are “temporarily embarrassed” in the having-a-sex-partner department. Abundant porn, like abundant money, cannot guarantee happiness, but as a wise observer once said, it can keep you entertained nonetheless:

Be Safe This Valentine’s Day

Sunday, February 14th, 2021 -- by Bacchus

There’s an amazing winter storm warning in place for an enormous swathe of these United States, and though the Nymph and I are lucky to be snug as two bugs in a rug, in the midst of the Valentine’s Day near-blizzard, my thoughts are with those who are not. Be safe out there!

The cute condoms/heart/pussy image was circulating on Tumblr ten years ago and made it into one of my themed image directories. But if I had any attribution then, which I doubt, it hasn’t survived my rough curation.

Valentines Sale 2018

Friday, January 19th, 2018 -- by Bacchus

I know it seems awfully early to be thinking about Valentines day gift ordering with the cold chill of late-mid January still holding much of the nation in its iron grip, but hearts-and-chocolates day with (hopefully) a bit of make-an-extra-effort even-better-than-usual sex will be upon us before you know it. And while I cheerfully acknowledge that ErosBlog was long ago surpassed by a crop of knowledgeable and ridiculously expert sex toy review bloggers as a place for getting genuinely detailed information about modern sex toys, I still feel remiss in my sex-blogger duties if I don’t alert you to the major highlights of the larger holiday blowout sex toy sales.

Since ErosBlog is not fundamentally a BDSM-focused publication, I’ll limit my sale picks on the kinky side of things to a couple of the most heavily-discounted, high-ticket items that offer you the biggest potential for major savings, before moving on to slightly-more-vanilla sex toys. The first kinky bargain I want to highlight is the Joanna Angel Bondage Essentials starter kit:

The second kinky bargain is the Bolero straitjacket in festive holiday red leather. These are the special design that lets you tuck away your submissive’s arms without inhibiting access to her breasts:

(I say “her” because the makers have somewhat-explicitly gendered this design; they offer a different Bolero for men, but it doesn’t come in red and it’s not on sale.)

Moving on from toys that are explicitly kinky, the sales still have plenty to offer! My absolute favorite seasonal goody has got to be the Naughty Candy Hearts butt plugs:

Another good discount is on the KinkLab Mystic Vibe Wireless Vibrating Egg, which seems to have a lot of potential for couples fun, depending on who controls the remote:

I truly wish I’d gotten my hands on a review model of this toy before it came on sale, though, because quite a few years ago these sort of wireless eggs tended to have really weak radios and weren’t reliably responsive. KinkLab usually doesn’t anything that isn’t good, so I expect this one works as advertised. Anyway the advertising claim is impressive; they claim the remote can control the egg “from up to 10 meters away” “in an entirely different room”. That sounds good enough, anyway, to cover the really important use case, which is making your partner squirm on the other side of a table during dinner in a fancy restaurant!

Finally, because half the fun of V-Day sex is trying something new (at least if you’re dead sure it’s something both parties want to try, it’s never a good time to pull out all the gear for a surprise fantasy) I’m going to link you the Tantus Bend Over Harness Kit for Beginners, that comes with “everything a beginner sensuous player would need to strap it on” including a low-riding harness with adjustable nylons straps plus large and small silicone dildos:

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Eschewing The Complications Of Romance

Saturday, February 14th, 2015 -- by Bacchus

If you find yourself writing a sex blog but devoid of an appropriate Valentine’s Day post, I do not recommend going to Pyrosophy, where my friend Dr. Faustus slings a brand of dark philosophy that’s too pessimistic for my own none-too-sunny disposition and worldview. However, his take on a remembered parable may have resonances for anybody whose Valentine’s Day is not going as romantically as the movies-and-television V-day fantasy would lead us to expect.

First, the parable:

In ancient China there was a Taoist Adept whose commitment to knowing the Way was unsurpassed. He practiced arcane arts and strange disciplines without fail for years and years until at last he had achieved such a state of perfect equilibrium with his natural surroundings that he was able to walk on water. Filled with excitement at this achievement, he summoned his Master and demonstrated this extraordinary ability. Instead of being astonished or praising the Adept, the Master merely turned aside and shook his head sadly. “Oh my son,” he said, “why do you bother with such foolishness when only a hundred yards downstream Old Ling the Ferryman would have been happy to carry you across the river for a few pennies?”

And here’s the patented Dr. Faustus gloss:

This charming anecdote might be about many things, but I myself happen to think that it is best told to anyone contemplating entry into a romantic relationship.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody!

Valentine’s Day Sex Toys

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015 -- by Bacchus

Today is my day for blogging about the best bargains in the Valentines Day sex toy sales. What’s good this year? My eye falls first on that perennial favorite, the Neon Wand, with discounted accessories too.

I really like the Neon Wand as a sex toy gift because it’s said to be much less intense than its much larger and more expensive Violet Wand spiritual predecessor. Certainly the Neon Wand can be used in BDSM if you’re so inclined, but it’s first and foremost a sensation toy, with just enough snappy electrics to be edgy and exciting as well as pleasurable (should you choose to use it that way).

If you’re not into the kinky stuff so much, but your partner is fifty shades of curious because of that new movie coming out, this might also be an excellent time to buy the Bondage 101 kit:

Valentine’s Day Gifts

Thursday, January 23rd, 2014 -- by Bacchus

As y’all know, I’m a big fan of seasonal sex toy sales, because it gives me an excuse to look for attractive items that couples can use to have fun together. Let’s get started, shall we?

First of all, what is the greatest romantic holiday of the year without roses? But real roses are expensive and (if you source them the traditional flower-shop way) something of an environmental nightmare. And then, a few days later, they’re trash (or at best, compost). Feather roses are more fun (tickle party time!) and last much longer:

Another great couples gift is a sexy craft project that you can make together and use together. The Clone-A-Willy kit for making a dildo in his precise likeness has gotten a lot of press for this reason; you can have fun making it together and then play with it together or separately. Is she the type to steal your old sports shirts to sleep in when you’re not there? Perhaps she’ll enjoy a more personal memento!

For many of us, though, this is a holiday about chocolate. Don’t worry, we’ve got that covered! Indeed, why not get the make-it-out-of-chocolate version of the Clone-A-Willy kit?

But this is 2014, and what used to be sauce exclusively for the gander is now also available as sauce for the goose. Get those replica willies out of your mind for a moment. Did you know there was a Clone-A-Pussy Molding kit now available? (Sadly, apparently not in chocolate.)

This could be fun to use, but you’ll need to take care that you don’t give off any sort of creepy trophy-hunter vibe when it’s time to persuade the proprietor of your favorite pussy to participate in your proposed craft project. I can’t say I’m sanguine that the sales copy totally avoids that pitfall:

This fun and easy do-it-yourself kit includes everything you’ll need to make an incredibly detailed, life-size rubber copy of the outer portion of any vagina from your own home. Use the mold over and over again and create your own treasured collection of life-like vaginas. Please note: Your new pussy replica is a shallow likeness, without a hole, and not designed for …ahem…. insertion. Think of it as a naughty homage, as opposed to a working masturbation device.

Moving rapidly onward, as perhaps we ought, there’s a very real chance that a person might much prefer to explore his or her favorite pussy in the most exquisite detail, rather than making a non-functional partial copy out of rubber. If you suspect your lover of feeling that way about your own pussy, perhaps you might surprise them with a handy inspection tool in festive holiday pink?

pink speculum

For the more timorous among you, it’s worth pointing out that sexual how-to books and DVDs are among the safest, most non-threatening sexy gifts you can give. Your partner can process the gift on his or her own time, a sex book or video can be the topic of later open-ended discussion, and in the end, it can be a great way to bring new sexual material into your relationship. There are several awesome titles in this year’s sale that you may want to consider:

Enjoy!

Two Zimmerman Valentines

Busy making plans for a two-day getaway with The Nymph, so a pair of Julius Zimmerman Valentines drawings seem appropriate:
