I’ve always been seduced by sex toys. I bought my first vibrator on my 18th birthday (a Lelo Soraya), with money saved up from my after school job. Over the years, my collection has expanded and refined.
I’ve become very particular over the years. If a toy is being invited to join (solo or with lover/s), it must pull its weight. I want it be an extension of our minds and of our touch, creating more powerful ways to tease and please each other. I want bionic fucking!
If you have a favourite toy, I’d love to know about it. And yes, I do accept gift cards 😉
VIXEN VIXSKIN
Recommended product: Mustang Price: $225 AUD Available in Aus: Max Black and Lovehoney (limited range)
Vixen vixskin are the only dildoes I ever want to use. They are dual-density silicone and just feel so incredibly realistic to the touch. That means they are actually comfortable, unlike every other silicone dildo I have used. Even the largest, highly-intimidating gambler feels very realistic to the touch. A special somebody gifted it to me recently and it remains a display-piece only, at this time!
DOXY WAND
Recommended product: Doxy Extra Powerful Wand Massager Price: $300 AUD Available: Lovehoney online.
When my first doxy wand broke (due to my own error, storing the cord improperly), I immediately went online and purchased another one. If that isn’t testament to the beauty of this toy, I don’t know what is.
Personally, I find most wands, including the Hitachi, have the wrong kind of motor and provide the wrong kind of pressure for me. They have too much buzz and not enough rumble, and they can feel more annoying than satisfying. The doxy on the other hand, is perfectly synchronised to my own preferences and is delightfully rumbly, driven and relentless!
I’d love to try the cordless version 🙂
If pleasure is a mountain, the doxy wand sprints to the peak. Powerful, for those who like deep pressure rather than surface stimulation. It can be used over clothing, on yourself, your partner or both of you together. Endless possibilities.
NJOY
Product recommendation: Pure wand Price: $250 AUD Available (Aus): Passionfruit sensuality store or directly from Njoy online.
This range is incredibly well-designed and made to elicit the pulsing pleasure from your body that other toys provide with a motorised component.
But be warned. they are incredibly heavy and take some introduction, so I’d recommend using it alone first. If you like slowly-building intensity and enjoy squirting, Njoy toys are excellent. Once you figure it out, this toy can be truly ecstatic, intense and harmonious with your body. A joy to experience and to witness.
Continuing my previous analogy, on pleasure mountain, this toy is taking a slow, rambling journey to the top, over new terrain, stopping to enjoy all the sensations, sights and smells. Provides both g spot and p spot stimulation. Also pictured: plug in size medium. Because they’re stainless steel, they can be sterilised easily.
ASLAN HARNESSES
Product recommendation: Jaguar harness Price: $150 CAD Available: aslanleather.com (shipping from Canada applies)
When I was in Berlin, I met a porn producer from San Francisco who insisted that these were the best on the market. I think she may be right. They are very comfortable and made of supple leather, and I like the femininity of their designs.
I own the jaguar, but I’d also love to try the cherry and pale blue shades. Annddd the orgasm harness and the chin-up harness…ahh!
