There’s so much writing on the G spot I’m really not going to try to say anything original here. And I’m sure questions about the G spot, how to find it, is it really a myth, etc roll through Good Vibrations stores on a regular basis. But I personally have been feeling like I’ve been hearing them a lot more than usual.  Being the blabber mouth that I am, I could easily go into some Too Much Information (TMI) territory here...

I’ve been running the workshop program at Good Vibrations for 10 years and I’ve learned some interesting stuff as part of that. One thing that I always tell my new workshop teachers is that if we put the word “communication” in a class blurb, we get a lot fewer people. We can use language like “talking about sex” or “getting what you want” or “sharing your desires and fantasies with a partner&...

This was posted on AVN.com and I thought it might be helpful to cancer survivors and their partners. As a SESA I spoke with many women trying to find their way back to intimacy after surviving cancer. It wasn't just the changes in how their bodies reacted to stimulation but it was also about re-learning how to connect with their partners. I think it's great that researchers put effort & time into looking at this effect of cancer on women: Stu...

Hey look what my co-worker just forwarded me! If you saw the little “GV” speaker Geoff Kors of Equality California is wearing, you’ll be pleased to know that our little sex positive retail company spans far and wide, connecting with folks from all over who are doing some fantastic things to make our world a better place. My co-worker forwarded me an email from a friend — one of the GV Board Members, whose husband is seen ...

If you haven’t noticed the huge “25% OFF Sale!” banner on GoodVibes.com, you might want to jump on over there and take a look around. I just distracted myself for the last 15 minutes dreaming about new toys that are making even the long-time staffers here at GV drool. This is a sales pitch to those of us who make economical choices when we buy sex toys. Those of us who review toys are up to our eyeballs in fancy vibes, though 99...

If you’ve missed Keith Olberman’s standing up for queer marriage, give this a watch. It’s amazing.

I’ve heard a lot of people talking about sex-positivity, especially on teh interwebs. But I don’t see as much clarity around it as I’d like. So here’s my take on what it. First off, what sex-positivity isn’t: Sex-positivity isn’t about how much sex you have, how many partners you have, what types of sex you have, or how often you have it. It’s not about being wild and crazy. It’s not about being a s...

I just got this in my in-box and had to share. It’s a photo from Life Magazine from 1971 and it’s a photo of “male homosexuals walking on the street” (according to google images). I’m totally digging the hair. ‘

I’ve been inspired lately and I’ve been reading a lot of articles and blogs about porn. The first thing that I have to say is that many of them seem to be written by people with very little actual information about the industry. I’ve been with Good Vibrations for 12 years now, and I’ve learned quite a bit about the porn world, so I can say with some authority that it’s much more complex than most of the portrayals of...

tyle="color: #333399;">“The Rocker” was a recent submission sent in by budding erotica author Saleena. GV Magazine accepts erotica and articles on a variety of topics from all writers. Interested contributors, please see our submissions information. Let’s all give support to Saleena’s first erotica short story! - Ed. It's a snowy evening; big, soft flakes coming down. A fire is in the fireplace. It's cozy and warm. Supper...

This had me laughing. I wish we could have ads for tampons like this in the US. (thanks to lalibertine.) It’s been a bit controversial in its homeland of Australia. Check out their site for their take on removing the taboo from vaginal health.

There has been some really great offers to write stuff and blessedly great folks that I respect and admire appreciating something I never gave all that much thought (other then fantasy) to: Writing. I am a compulsive writer, so much so their is actually some sort of diagnoses for it. I don't much understand why something so wonderful for people to do gets lumped into some sort of disorder. Just last night I was watching “The Notorious Betty...
