Toe Stretchers Healthy Toes For Yoga On Toes - Small (Women's shoe sizes 5.5 to 10.5)

Toe Stretchers Healthy Toes For Yoga On Toes - Small (Women's shoe sizes 5.5 to 10.5)

I was unsure about this product, but after purchasing them and trying them out for a few weeks....I love them. They really do help align your toes and give releif to aching feet. I wear a lot of cramped shoes( small toe heels,etc) and these toe stretchers are wonderful to wear at night for 30 min-1hr as I watch TV or read.

After only 3 weeks of use, I can already see an improvement in the bunions on both feet. Another positive is the beginning of better balance for various postures in Yoga class. The results, so far, have been quite noticeable.

This product is great! As a dancer I was very delighted with the relief it provided me. Then within the week I had my mom using them for a bone spurs she's always complained about, and then my dad for his sciatica! The shipping was fast and easy. Amazon offers the best price you will find.

The downside, however, which accounts for the "4" rather than "5" star rating, is that I found them to be quite uncomfortable at first and could wear them for only about an hour. I'm looking forward to becoming comfy enough to be able to sleep in em!

California Exotics / Swedish Erotica Crystalessence Waterproof Gyrating Penis (Pack of 2)

California Exotics / Swedish Erotica Crystalessence Waterproof Gyrating Penis (Pack of 2) - powerful 6.5 inch wibrating and gyrating detailed penis made of soft crystalessence material

Overall this product is quite enjoyable. I was looking for one with the size and girth of the real thing and this one is it. I wish that it had more options as to the speed and intensity of the vibrations, meaning more settings. There are basically two speeds and thats it. Also the name indicates that it gyrates, and I don't feel that it gyrates. There are others that supposedly gyrate and have somewhat of a natural thrusting action to them, but this one isn't it. It does help to bring on some stress relieving orgasms and is a very enjoyable product, but more settings options would improve it.

But that this thing is huge! The highest vibration is way too much, but if you work yourself up to it and allow it to do it's work and rest on your G-Spot, oh my god! Wonderful! It was wonderful all 7 times the first night! Worth it girls!

Doc Johnson Lucid Dream 14 Multi-Speed, Waterproof G-Spot Vibrator, Twist-bottom Control, Purple


Doc Johnson Lucid Dream 14 Multi-Speed, Waterproof G-Spot Vibrator, Twist-bottom Control, Purple. This sex toy is a good vibrator to get for the price. It is powerful and has a nice shape. Another plus is that it is waterproof so I can clean it easily without worrying about messing it up. I plan on buying more of the Doc Johnson Lucid Dream collection!

2 AA batteries required.

Doc Johnson Silent Vibrations Pearl, Peach White Band

Doc Johnson Silent Vibrations Pearl, Peach White Band.

This sex toy is the perfect size, not too big, not too small. It is easily cleaned. As advertised, can't be heard...in the same room or in nearby areas...thank the Goddess. The different speeds are very nice. One minor thing,that was a little inconvenient,is that the vibration speed setting dial is very sensitive. A slight touch may send it higher than you want or expected. Other than that, this is a great buy.

Aneros in Paris France


C’est une première !

Aneros est un sex toy que je n’ai pas testé! Et pour cause : il masse la prostate masculine ! Pourquoi vous parler d’un sex toy que je n’ai pas testé ? Tout simplement parce que Je suis émerveillée par le potentiel de plaisir qu’Aneros peut apporter et par le fait qu’il provoque des orgasmes multiples et sans éjaculation. Et oui, vous avez bien lu : un instrument qui provoque des orgasmes masculins multiples et sans éjaculation !

Je vous parle d’instrument et non de sex toy, car Aneros est né de la recherche médicale sur les affections de la prostate. Mais voilà, les utilisateurs d’Aneros ressentaient de tels orgasmes, qu’il est maintenant utilisé par des hommes désireux de découvrir de nouveaux horizons dans leur sexualité.

Alors, pour mieux vous en parler, j’ai été sur le forum Aneros et j’ai demandé à 2 utilisateurs de répondre à mes questions. Le premier s’appelle Charlie, il est Américain, a 40 ans et il est célibataire (les filles, j’ai ses coordonnées, si vous étés intéressées : ) . Le second s’appelle Brian Mayfield, il a 48 ans, il est marié et habite en Californie du Nord. Brian est devenu un gourou en matière d’Aneros : ça fait 4 ans qu’il l’utilise et il a plus de 600 postes sur le forum à son actif. C’est aussi lui qui à baptisé l’orgasme extraordinaire des utilisateurs d’Aneros : le super O.

Pour acheter Aneros MGX c'est par ici

_________________

- Comment avez-vous découvert Aneros ?
Charlie : J'ai découvert l'Aneros en janvier passé en surfant sur Internet au sujet du massage de prostate.

- Depuis combien de temps l’utilisez vous ?
Charlie : J'ai acheté l'Aneros MGX en janvier, suivi l'Eupho en février, et la spirale en juillet. J'alterne les trois modèles, selon l’humeur du jour car ils procurer des sensations un peu différentes. Je les utilisent tous les quelques jours.

- L'employez-vous seul ou avec une/un partenaire ?
Charlie : J'ai utilisé Aneros en solo uniquement, bien que je souhaite trouver une femme aventureuse pour partager l'expérience.
(Mesdames, si vous êtes intéressée, j’ai les coordonnées de Charles !)

- Aneros peut fournir les orgasmes multiples masculins. Avez-vous atteint un orgasme multiple ?
Charlie : Je peux avoir des orgasmes secs (sans éjaculation), multiples et qui remplissent mon corps entier! certaines sessions durent plus d'une heure.

- Est-ce que ça vous est arrivé à votre première utilisation d’Aneros ?
Charlie : Non, la première fois, je n'ai pas eu d’orgasme non éjaculatoire. Mon corps a mit environ deux semaines pour que mon corps s'ajuste aux nouvelles sensations. J'ai été choqué par l'intensité de mon premier orgasme d'Aneros. C'était un événement déterminant dans ma vie, comme perdre ma virginité.

- Le Super O, ou orgasme non éjaculatoire diffère-t-il de l'orgasme pénien traditionnel et comment ?
Charlie : Les orgasmes du corps entier sont beaucoup plus intenses que des orgasmes péniens traditionnels. Ils peuvent être répétés à plusieurs reprises sans la période réfractaire que les hommes ont après éjaculation. En fait, l'Aneros m'a apprit que l'orgasme et l'éjaculation ne sont pas la même chose.
L'Aneros produit des orgasmes sans éjaculation. L'intensité de chaque orgasme change, mais elle commence habituellement par un tremblement dans l'abdomen et l'anus et se propage partout dans mon corps en partant des pieds jusqu'au haut de ma tête. Les orgasmes les plus intenses traversent tout mon corps comme du courant électrique.

- Que conseillez-vous donneriez-vous à un nouvel utilisateur Aneros?
Charlie : Je conseillerais à un nouvel utilisateur d'être patient. L'expérience n’a rien à voir avec ce qu’il a déjà ressenti. Cela prendra du temps pour que son corps s'ajuste aux nouvelles sensations produites par l'Aneros, mais il sera récompensé avec des plaisirs qu'il n'a jamais cru possibles.

- Vous voulez ajouter quelque chose?
Charlie : En conclusion, l'Aneros a ouvert un monde complètement nouveau de plaisirs sexuels. Chaque homme devrait essayer. J'espère que mon expérience sera utile à ceux qui souhaitent augmenter leurs horizons sexuels.

Réponses de Brian Mayfield

- Comment avez-vous entendu parler d’Aneros ?

Brian : Je cherchais de nouveaux jouets sur internet. J'ai toujours apprécié la stimulation anale, la plupart du temps pour améliorer à la stimulation pénienne traditionnelle. Dans le passé, j'avais constaté que la stimulation anale/prostatique couplée à la stimulation pénienne produisait des éjaculations particulièrement grandes et intenses.
En outre, à un ou deux occasions, presque par accident, j’avais eu la chance d’éprouver une nouvelle et furtive sensation grâce à la pure stimulation de la prostate. Cette expérience m'a fait penser qu'il pourrait y avoir quelque chose encore plus fort.
Malheureusement j'ai constaté que la majorité de produits disponibles pour la stimulation prostatique sont terriblement inadéquate d'une manière ou d'une autre. Le choix est toujours réduit à un dildo ou à un but plug qui n’engagent que vaguement la prostate.
L'Aneros est totalement différent parce qu'il est anatomiquement et ergonomiquement étudié pour engager simultanément et précisément la prostate, l'anus et le périnée (un point d'acupressure situé entre l’anus et le scrotum). Aneros est uniquement actionné par les contractions anales… ainsi on l’utilise sans les mains.

- Vous m'avez dit que « l'Aneros a tout simplement changé votre vie», pourquoi ?

Brian : Franchement, l'Aneros m’a ouvert une myriade de nouvelles sensations et de conscience sexuelle. La première fois que j’ai eu un orgasme avec Aneros, l'expérience était tellement hors de mes références habituelles, que je ne pouvais à peine croire ce qui m’arrivait. C’était presque indescriptible !
Je savais pourtant que je venais de découvrir quelque chose qui a complètement redéfini ma sexualité.

C'était une force immense et extatique qui venait de l’intérieur. Je dis souvent, que c’est comme si j'avais découvert en moi un pouvoir télépathique ou la vision aux rayons X. C’est une puissance surpassante.

Ce « changement de vie » était-il instantané ou est-il venu au file du temps ?

Certains éléments du changement étaient instantanés : Réaliser l’existence de ce pouvoir, que je ne savais être en moi….c'était instantané.

D'autres ont évolué avec le temps, pendant que les différentes facettes du phénomène se sont dévoilés. Par exemple, ma première véritable session d'orgasmes multiple ne s'est pas produite tout de suite.
Je devrais ajouter que les choses continuent toujours à évoluer.

Cependant, dès le début, j'ai été poussé à partager la découverte de cette expérience avec d'autres. (Effet secondaire très commun pour les personnes qui découvrent le Super 'O). A l’heure actuelle, je suis presque un évangéliste pour le Super O ! En fait, 99% des hommes sur cette planète n'ont pas la moindre idée de ce dont leur corps est capable. J'espère changer cela !

L'Aneros peut fournir les orgasmes multiples masculins. Quand avez-vous atteint votre premier orgasme multiple (première fois après quelques mois…) ?

Mon premier Super O s'est produit la toute première fois que j'ai utilisé l'Aneros. Mon premier orgasme multiple est venu après 3 mois.

- Vous avez créé un nouveau mot, « l'O SUPERBE ». Que signifie-t-il ?

Brian : Super O est le nom que j'ai donné à cet événement orgasmique non-éjaculatoire. Un Super O se compose d'un éveil pelvien intense qui mène à une montée énorme du plaisir érotique qui prend votre corps entier. Il te laisse heureux et plein d’énergie, même plusieurs jours plus tard.

En outre, les différents orgasmes durent souvent plusieurs minutes et peuvent être répétés à plusieurs reprises pendant la même séance. Comment nommer ce superbe orgasme, sinon avec l’adjectif Super ?

Comment diffère-t-il d'un orgasme pénien traditionnel ?

Un orgasme pénien traditionnel (éjaculation) est ressenti plus intensément dans le pénis, et typiquement dure environ 17 secondes. Un Super O est une expérience bien plus globale, qui inclue la composante pénienne, mais comporte également des sensations pelviennes très profondes (dans le rectum, l'anus, la prostate, le périnée, et le diaphragme). Ces sensations grandissent et se construisent partout dans le corps et rayonnent à l'extérieur.

Une autre différence entre les deux types d’orgasmes est ce qui se produit après l'orgasme. Après éjaculation tous les hommes sont confrontés avec une période réfractaire inévitable… période pendant laquelle il y a une perte totale d’excitation. Les hommes doivent attendre avant que d'autres orgasmes soient possibles. Puisque l'O superbe est un événement non éjaculatoire il n'y a aucune perte d’excitation entre deux orgasmes. Ainsi il est possible d'éprouver des orgasmes les uns après les autres.

Une dernière chose, éjaculations vous laissent contenté mais léthargique. Le Super O vous laisse plein d’énergie et prêt pour encore plus !

- Pouvez-vous nous décrire le Super O ?

Brian : Je pensais l’avoir déjà fait ! (Lol) D'abord, chaque Super O est une expérience unique et qu'ils peuvent être différents d'une personne à l’autre.

Mais, bon, voilà : Pour moi, elle commence comme sensation de chatouillement profondément dans mon bassin dans un secteur situé environ à mi-chemin entre mon nombril et os pubien (l'emplacement du deuxième Chakra). La sensation se développe en une sorte de tremblement anal suivi de titillement dans mes anus, prostate, rectum de périnée simultanément.

La construction de sensations, devenant de plus en plus fortes jusqu’à ce que à mon pénis devienne extrêmement dur et cette rigueur (tous mes muscles se contractent) écarte partout dans mon corps. Ensuite, je sens des spasmes dans mon diaphragme et aussi dans mon pénis comme si j'éjaculais… mais sans éjaculat.

Ce qui se produit ensuite ne peut être décrit que comme des cascades, des vagues intenses et heureuses de plaisir qui entourent mon corps entier (provoqué par l'endorphine). Cela dure environ une minute ou plus et peut être suivie très rapidement, parfois dans des secondes qui suivent, par un autre orgasme. Pendant une session typique je peux avoir 6 à 10 orgasmes tels que ceux-ci… mais j'ai eu quelques sessions de marathon avec beaucoup, beaucoup, plus d’orgasmes !

Mes sessions préférées sont celles avec de doubles Super O. Celles-ci se produisent alors qu’on a un Super O et soudainement un deuxième Super O s’ajoute au premier…. avant même que le premier soit absorbé ! Si on visualise ceci graphiquement, on verrait une crête superposée à l’intensité du premier. Ces orgasmes sont si exquis et si intenses qu’ils vous font fondre en larmes !

- Que conseillez-vous donneriez-vous à un utilisateur pour sa première fois?

Brian : Être patient et ouvert. Si possible, approcher cette nouvelle expérience avec l'esprit d'un débutant. Généralement, la plupart des hommes doit ignorer tout ce qu'ils savent sur générer un orgasme. L’éjaculation est une réponse psychologique presque automatique. La capacité d'un homme à avoir un orgasme traditionnel est quasiment imparable. Un homme peut éjaculer en aillant bu, en dormant, fatigué, fâché, triste… tout est possible.

Le Super O superbe est tout à fait différent. Une fois présent il est splendide, mais il commence TRÈS subtilement. Tellement subtilement que la plupart des hommes ne le remarquent pas alors qu'ils le recherchent. Ainsi, la voie initiale (l'éjaculation) peut cacher la voie alternative (le Super O).

Ainsi il est essentiel de bien observer la gamme de sensations qui entrent en jeu au cours de l'exploration son exploration personnelle.

- Souhaitez-vous ajouter quelque chose ?

Brian : Gardez à l'esprit que l'Aneros est un outil pour découvrir le Super O. Il y a quelques temps, j'ai écrit qu’utiliser Aneros est comme avoir un outil à la formation Tantrique! En fait, une fois que vous serez plus expérimenté avec de le Super O superbe, vous serez capable avoir des orgasmes sans lui! (Bien qu'ils sont généralement plus puissants avec lui)

Aujourd'hui, je peux avoir des orgasmes en n’utilisant que mon pouvoir mental. Ca fait partie d'un voyage sensuel que j'ai commencé il y a 4 ans. À chacun d’entre vous, je dis : ouvrez votre esprit, prenez votre temps, explorez…. et apprécier le voyage !

Une dernière chose : rien de tout cela ne diminue la valeur d'un bon orgasme traditionnel (éjaculatoire). En fait, je termine toujours mes sessions par une éjaculation.

C’est simplement qu'ajouter le Super O à son répertoire sexuel donne une plus grande variété et profondeur à sa sexualité. Par exemple, j'ai souvent un ou deux Super O en faisant un cunnilingus à ma partenaire… c’est mon état d’excitation qui produit cette réponse en moi. Ainsi, être Super orgasmique crée une palette sexuelle beaucoup plus vaste!

Enfin, avoir une éjaculation après un Super O, est une expérience complètement redéfinissante. Il n'y a aucun doute qu'il sera le plus grand, le plus intense, le plus long, et le plus volumineux de tous les orgasmes que vous avez jamais eu. C’est absolument magnifique !

Aneros MGX Prostate Massager can irritate sensitive areas

Aneros MGX Prostate Massager can irritate sensitive areas. This is sex toy of the better designs BUT the ribs really can irritate sensitive areas. Aneros makes another model that has a smoother "arm" and this is better but it takes a lot of practice to get the best results with the non-vibrating massagers. I really like the motorized non-ribbed massager called the GENERATOR by Quanta Technologies...

Newly redesigned, the MGX is a medically researched and designed device that works in harmony with your bodys own movements. Stimulates both the prostate and the perineum in a rhythmic motion that builds up to unprecedented male orgasms. Easy to use and fulfilling for both the beginner and the expert, with progressively rewarding exercises and experiences. Made from FDA approved materials. The medically researched and designed Aneros was developed specifically to massage what is becoming commonly referred to as the Male G-spot - the prostate, or more specifically, the prostate-perineum. Whereas the primary goal of a prostate massager is to massage the male prostate, the Aneros is by far the most effective of any available massager. It is the only medically researched and patented prostate massager, anatomically designed to work perfectly with the male body.

Oral Sexual Sex Story


A pretty straight forward sex scene. You can fill in the story yourself.

I sat on the floor of the hotel room, the rays of light of the sun shining through the white curtains and playing across my nude body. As such I sat, waiting. Then there came a rustle at the door, and it happened. He came in.

He strode across the room to where I was laying, and stood over me without saying so much as a word.

I knelt on the floor, my face parallel to the crotch of his pants, inside of which a large bulge was rapidly growing. He removed his shirt, exposing a hard, broad chest. Next, he unbuttoned his pants and let them fall to the floor, as his boxers pointed at my face. I pulled those down as well, and his cock bounced up, hitting me below the chin. I smiled, as he grabbed my head and pressed it against his crotch, his balls pressed softly against my eyes, my nose filling with the dank smell of his testosterone factory, as his penis pointed straight up above me. He let go of my head, and I pulled my face away slowly.

I grasped his firm, stiff cock and pulled it towards my face as I leaned forward, my knees firmly planted in his plush red carpet. I rubbed it twice against the side of my face, the head tickling me as it rubbed against my soft cheek. I kissed it gently as he let out a sigh and leaned all the way back on his bed. As I pulled my head away, I could see a long, thin strand of semen leading from my moist lips to the tip of his penis. This strand, thin as a piece of thread, pulled me back in, as if it were a thick piece of rope to which I was bound.

Immediately I thrust my head upon his hard, thick member, allowing it to fill my eager, hungry mouth. I ran my tongue, up and down the fat shaft, my jaw wide open but my lips sealed around the wide, meaty base, as it’s head tickled my pharynx in just the right way. I pulled my head back, opening my mouth, and my saliva gushed out of my mouth, running down his shaft like a waterfall until it gathered around his loose, hanging balls, and eventually dripped down onto the carpet below. I laughed and proceeded to lick his cock several times, running my tongue upward from his balls as he leaned forward and ran his fingers through my hair. As he leaned back again, I grasped his throbbing, pulsing penis with both hands, and quickly began to bob my head up and down in it, allowing his tool, slippery with my own drool, to slide in and out of my mouth each time, as I twisted my hand around the lower portion.

He let out several moans before he sat up again and grasped be by my head. He slowly pushed my head down on his rock solid cock, forcing himself into the furthest reaches of my oral cavity. He then stood on both feet and began thrusting his cock into my mouth with his hips, slowly at first, then more quickly. His hands were now only being used to keep my head in place. Juices from my vagina ran down my legs, and formed a small puddle on the carpet below. I realized I had my hands free, so, placing one hand on the bed for balance, I brought my arm to my groin, and slipped my fingers into my hot, moist pussy. I slid them in and out, matching the rhythm of the hips thrusting into my mouth.

I looked up at his bare chest, then closed my eyes. I tried to let out a moan, but all that occurred was a glob of drool spraying out of my mouth by my lower lip. He quickened his pace, as did I, and I could begin to feel his balls against my chin, lightly at first, but soon slapping hard against my chin and throat, the wet sound of flesh slamming into flesh reverberating in my eardrums. It soon seemed that I could take no more, and I thrust my fingers into my pussy, falling back onto the carpet with my legs wrapped firmly around my hand.

Just as I fell into orgasm, he began to cum, standing over me, thick, hot, white cum shooting out of the head of his cock in jets, raining down upon me and slathering my chin, mouth, nose and tits. I could feel the semen landing, and hear the dull splat as it hit my flesh. The smell overpowered my senses, and as it began running in streams down my cheeks I wiped my face with my hands, then ran my tongue over it. I looked up to see him standing over me as he squatted down, his crotch meeting my face. He slapped his cock against my forehead several times, as excess semen dribbled out and ran into my hair. His balls rested just above my upper lip, and my nose was filled with the aroma of sweat, cum and drool.

He stood up and shot one final load onto my closed eyes, and in a short time I could hear the door close as I once again was alone.

The Only Size that Matters

Is apparently your own, and even then, it may be the size in your brain that matters, according to a recent survey of research on men and women’s attitudes about penis size. The survey was undertaken as part of a new proposed diagnostic term, small penis syndrome.

According to authors Wylie and Eardley, who published their proposal in the urology journal BJU International, small penis syndrome:

is defined as an anxiety about the genitals being observed, directly or indirectly (when clothed) because of concern that the flaccid penis length and/or girth is less than the normal for an adult male, despite evidence from a clinical examination to counter this concern.

In an effort to outline the concept of small penis syndrome, the authors reviewed the results of twelve separate studies on penis size, and several studies on the effectiveness of penile lengthening surgery (which doesn’t fair well). Among the findings:

  • They found an average penis size to be 3.5 to 3.9 inches for flaccid length, 5.5 to 6.3 inches for erect length, and 4.7 to 5.1 inches for the erect girth. These averages are slightly higher than earlier summaries, pointing once again to the difficulty in agreeing on average penis size.
  • As defined by the authors, small penis syndrome is much more common in men with normal sized penises than those with a small micropenis with a flaccid length of less than 2.7 inches.
  • An internet-based survey of over 50,000 heterosexual men and women found that while 85% of women were satisfied with their partner's penis size only 55% of men were satisfied.
  • In the same study 66% of men said their penis was average sized, 22% said it was large and 12% said small.
  • One study found that 63% of men complaining of small penises said their anxieties started with childhood comparisons and 37% blamed erotic images viewed in their teenage years.

The skeptic in me questions the motivation and utility of this diagnosis. If we call it like it is, men are consistently given the message that their value lies solely in their penis. So it’s hardly surprising that men want to increase the size of our one important asset. And a new “diagnosis” isn’t likely to help men think outside the confines of their cylindrical shaped box.

On the other hand, this paper is refreshing in its focus on psychological and social factors and treatments, and it offers a helpful review for anyone who works with men on what exactly is statistically average out there.

Getting Laid Not Depressing


One of the big ticket lies that government sponsored abstinence-only sex education is required to sell us is the idea that having sex before you are married will lead to mental health problems, specifically depression.

And while its certainly true that sex can make life more complicated, and depending on the sex, more depressing, it can also make life more fun, beautiful, interesting and engaging. And I think most sexual health educators would agree that there's a balance, and that the benefits usually outweigh the drawbacks in the final tally.

So it was nice to read about a recent study out of the University of Minnesota that examined depression following first sexual intercourse. From the university's release:

Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, Ann Meier, University of Minnesota assistant professor of sociology, studied 8,563 seventh- through 12th-graders over an 18-month period, measuring for depression and low self-esteem. Meier compared the mental health of teens who didn't have sex to teens who were virgins at the beginning of the study, but who lost their virginity during the 18-month period.

She found that while the majority of teens did not experience depression as a result of first-time sex, some did -- those being the youngest teens (girls who had sex before age 15 and boys who had sex before 14) and whose relationship was not emotionally close and dissolved after sex. Girls in this group were particularly vulnerable to depression.

While these results aren't like to surprise many (except those who actually believe everything they hear in abstinence-only class) the study remains important both for the empirical evidence it brings to a topic lacking in empirical evidence, and for the way it complicates the topic by describing the role of sex in the lives of teens as it actually exists, in all its confusing glory.
