Forget the BRITs and the BAFTAs, it's time to announce the winner of LoveHoney's Design A Sex Toy Competition 2009.

And the winner is...

DelOvely designed by Jenny Smith from Hampshire.

Congratulations to Jenny who wins £1,000 and the chance to have her design made in to a real-life sex toy.

Jenny's innovative idea received a unanimous vote from the judges.

"It's a simple idea, yet totally unique," said Design A Sex Toy judge, Bonny Hall. "Designed to give pleasure to women, men and couples, it's a toy with endless possibilities."

We're keeping the design and precise function of the DelOvely under wraps while we investigate the feasibility of making it, but we'll keep you updated with  developments as they happen.

A huge thank you to our judges and to everyone who entered - and congratulations again to our winner, Jenny!

From July to December 2009, I had the pleasure of watching my inbox fill with entries for LoveHoney's Design A Sex Toy Competition. 

From the erotic to the exotic, the wacky to the how-in-the-heck-did-someone-think-of-that, over 500 would-be sex toy inventors embraced the challenge.

Sadly there could only be one winner, so it was time to get brutal and bring on the judges!

LoveHoney had a great time at the Erotica 2009 exhibition this weekend, wowing the crowds with our unique-in-all-the-world Sqweel of Fortune, Dildo Hoopla, Rabbit Wall, X-rated Photo Booth and Fleshlight Wall.

And, of course, our fantastic products including the Sqweel, the UK launch of the new We-Vibe II, our massively popular Tracey Cox Supersex Range, Sliquid Lubes and Durex Play and a whole lot more.

A massive thank you to everyone who came to the LoveHoney stand to play our silly games, buy our toys or just to say hello. It was great to meet you!

Erotica is the biggest sex show in the UK and is a great place to go if you've never bought a sex toy before. You can get your hands on lots of different products and, of course, on the LoveHoney stand our friendly, knowledgeable staff are there to help explain what they're all for.

That's us up there in the picture - from left to right: Jeremy, Richard (me), Kirstyne (kneeling), The Prof, Paula, Jo, Andy, Carl, Bonny (crouching), Carly, Joy (kneeling), Sean (gurning) and Flavie (wondering what the hell she's let us in for). And not pictured are Shelley, Ruth, Wojtek, Mike, Dusan and last but by no means least, Joseph (who left his Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat at home).

And also big big "THANKS!" to Dean from Sliquid, Tracey from Tracey Cox (both pictured centre left), Bruce from We-Vibe, and Sqweel inventor Trevor Murphy and his mate Shane for being there for us.

Thank you to all the LoveHoney staff who made it happen - you did us proud!

More Erotica happenings and pictures after the break...

Unusual title, no?

Sadly you won't find any videos of lesbians selling vibrators to housewives door to door in this blog post, but you will discover more of the strange search terms that seem to lead to LoveHoney.

And by writing this, I've realised that LoveHoney will now rank even higher for the search term 'lesbians selling vibrators to housewives door to door'. I really must stop typing that...

Sob, wail, gnash. Despite 30 hours of round-table talks (who was playing King Arthur?) , the Communications Worker's Union and the Royal Mail couldn't sort out their differences. So the strikes are on, no postal deliveries on Thursday or Friday.

But never fear - this does not mean that your dildo delivery need be delayed. We've called in a crack squad of express couriers to pick up the slack during the strike days.

For just £2.95 - or nowt if you spend more than £30 - you can avail yourself of our super-awesome choose-your-delivery day service.

Order by 4pm Thursday and you could be tucked up in bed on Friday night with your new special friend. Sweet dreams!

Happy shopping, my lovelies!

Venus Berlin is the equivalent of the UK's Erotica Show but much, much bigger. And much, much dirtier.

Alongside all the traders and stalls you'll find live sex shows, pole dancers, fine German cuisine (mainly bratwurst), pony-girl chariot rides and even a 5 Euros-a-pop sex machine!

If you've ever fancied attending a naughty show, watch the video below to see my top five favourite parts of Venus so far.

With special thanks to Romeo, Richard, Christian and the rest of the 'pain gang'.

Guten Tag!

The LoveHoney team have just arrived in Berlin for the fantastic, naughty, erotic and downright pornographic Venus show!

The top names in sex toys, lubricants, lingerie, bondage, fetish and film gather here every year to swap cards, mingle and generally do business. So naturally, LoveHoney had to make an appearance!

Although LoveHoney aren't exhibiting, we have been wandering around talking to new suppliers, trying to get great deals on the most brilliant sex toys around and showing off our fantastic new sex toy - the LoveHoney Sqweel Oral Sex Simulator!

Keep checking the LoveHoney Blog over the next few days for video and photographic updates and all the saucy goings-on at Venus - including the entire LoveHoney team trying to ride (steady!) a giant I Rub My Duckie!

As some of you may have heard, there's a new sex toy doing the rounds but it is so top secret that everyone involved has been sworn to silence.

As soon as word broke out on the LoveHoney Community and A Revolution In Orgasms, we were inundated with requests for any small snippet of information we could give about this MI5 style pleasure product.

You asked for it, so we had to oblige – here is the teaser video!
 

Still intrigued? Sign up at A Revolution In Orgasms to receive 25% off the mystery product as soon as it's launched and stay tuned to the LoveHoney Blog for news of the release date!

LoveHoney's fantastic UK Sex Map has just been launched!

This nifty little online gadget lets you type in your town and find out exactly where it ranks in the sexy spending stakes.

Not only is it a great way to find out what the naughty gossip is in your town but it's brilliant for figuring out new trends, deciding where to go out on the pull and learning all sorts of fun facts to wow your friends in the pub!

In fact, one of the most interesting things we learnt from creating the UK Sex Map is that Upminster is the sexiest town, spending a whopping 10.8 times the national average on naughty products!

So what is so special about Upminster? Well, not a lot.

However, we did discover that the rather gorgeous Paul Sculfor lives there.

This builder-turned-model has dated some of the most stunning women in the world including Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Lisa Snowdon and Lady Victoria Hervey.

How did this Essex brickie woo all these beautiful ladies? With naughty gifts, of course! People in Upminster spend 10.1 times the national average on sexy gifts and 11.2 times the national average on vibrators.

May we suggest a gorgeous JimmyJane vibrator for Mr Sculfor's next date?
 

Check out the UK Sex Map now and let us know how your town rates!
