LoveHoney has just released the list of the 2008 Sex Toy award winners. Here they are.

Overall Winner - The Fun Factory Delight

It looks pretty but costs a whopping £99.99!  Hmmm… think I’ll wait till someone sends me one. And yes, that was a hint.

Best for Orgasms - Jessica Rabbit 2.0

The Jessica is one of the top selling rabbit vibes and a worthy winner. I have one of these and totally love it. Highly recommended.

Best Value - Tracey Cox SuperSex Bullet

I have one of these as well and am fond of it, but not as fond as I am of the Jessica. Still, it’s a nicer looking toy.

Best for the Bath - Ultra 7 Waterproof Hummer Rabbit Vibrator

Designed to stimulate your G-spot and clitoris and can be used in the bath.

Best for Couples - Durex Play Touch Finger Vibrator

Tiny, discreet and cheap. The vibrations are mild so it’s perfect if you don’t want anything too intense and good to use with a partner as it is disposable.

Hey all

You might have read about a recent survey that found that 80 percent of men feel good about themselves after  a one-night stand, but only 54 percent of women do. According to Professor Anne Campbell of Durham University who conducted the survey women may feel guilty ‘used’ after a one-night stand. Anyway, men and women of Ireland - I’m curious to know what you think.

Do you enjoy one-night stands? Or find them a bit of a letdown?

Are they more exciting or less fulfilling than a regular partner?

Any really good or really bad experiences?

What are the pros and cons?

Ever had a one-night stand you really regret, and if so, why?

What are your Do’s and Don’ts before/during/after a one-night stand?

Anything else?

Cheers

Anne

Some men – and a good few women – are not averse to taking Viagra to give their sex lives a little extra spice even though they don’t really need it. Personally I’ve always been wary of buying prescription drugs over the net, as this can be very dangerous. Here’s a smart alternative. Holland and Barrett have a range of natural products created to enhance your libido. These include Horny Goat Weed (available in male and female varieties) which is believed to naturally improve libido; Damiana Leaves which were originally used by indigenous cultures of Central America to improve libido and stimulate oxygen flow to the genitals to improve potency; and Muira Puama, known as ‘potency wood’ which was used by Brazil’s indigenous tribes as an aphrodisiac, to treat erectile dysfunction and to help maintain an erection.

My ex and I gave these a try. You can read the full HP article here.
