We live in a world where one must often sacrifice health for pleasure and vice-versa; for instance, if we want one kind of six-pack, we must forgo the other – that sort of thing.

Pay homage to sex toy pioneers of the past with the new OVibe, a modern take on the old-school best-seller of yesteryear. The Screaming O has updated this traditional style with a lightweight, cordless and affordable massager reminiscent of the classic vibrators that helped pave the way.

Let’s face it. It ain’t easy being single and for some of us, finding the perfect guy feels as impossible as winning the Powerball.

We’ve heard all kinds of erroneous reasons to not use a condom; from “They’re not my style” to “My dick can’t breathe,” the list of avoidance tactics can go on for days.

Cunnilingus. Muff-diving. Good ol’ oral sex. It’s a common concern among men and women eager to please their partners with their “linguistic” skills and understandably so!
