Lovehoney's Bionic Bullet Cock Ring Voted #1 Male Sex Toy by Men's Health Magazine

Nicole — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:25:00 +0100

It seems as though Lovehoney is on a winning streak! Just last week, we won an Insider Trade Award for Fifty Shades of Grey The Official Pleasure Collection, and now one of our own-brand products has been voted best sex toy for men by Men’s Health magazine.

The July 2013 issue of Men’s Health features a glowing review of the Lovehoney Bionic Bullet Vibrating Cock Ring, which nabbed the top spot - being named the Best Male Sex Toy.

What makes this vibrating cock ring so great? According to Men's Health: “The best all-rounder is a cock ring called the Bionic Bullet - a product that lives up to its heroic name. It has two rings: one slips around your penis, the other around your testicles.

'"The pulsing sensation not only feels amazing but also prolongs erections and delays ejaculation. And the 'bullet', which sits across the top of your penis during sex, is perfectly positioned to massage her clitoris, making it more likely that she'll orgasm during penetrative sex.

"That's a three-in-one benefit you can both enjoy.”

Reasonably priced at £14.99, the vibrating cock ring features a removable bullet vibrator, meaning it can be used for solo pleasure for him or her, but it's also great for couples play.

Sex or Pizza? The Million Pound Drop Chooses Sex!

Lucy — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:26:00 +0100

Did you watch the Million Pound Drop this weekend? If you did, you might have noticed Lovehoney crop up at a crucial moment during the show!

We've all jokingly asked each other hypothetical questions such as 'would you rather have sex or pizza?', but what would you do if you had £75,000 riding on it? Saturday night saw contestants playing The Million Pound Drop facing that very dilemma.

Despite admitting their love for pizza, young couple Mel and Neil decided they'd be better placed to answer a sex-related question, and were very glad they did!

Playing for some seriously big bucks, the pair were presented with a question from Lovehoney's 'Fast and Frisky Sex Survey', which revealed when, where and how often we are having sex.

With just 60 seconds to decide which day of the week we are most likely to have sex, the couple swiftly reasoned that 'on Fridays you're knackered after work', splitting their money between Saturday and Sunday.

Taking Sexy Photos: Top Tips & Special Offer!

Lucy — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:47:41 +0100

You may have seen my last blog post in which I wrote about My Boudoir Photography Experience. If it's made you start thinking about doing a Boudoir photo shoot for yourself, there are lots of things to think about before you step in front of the camera.

Whether you choose to pose at home or go about it professionally, here are some of my top tips for having some sexy pictures taken.

What look do you want to achieve? First things first. Do you see yourself as a vintage glamour queen, a rock chick or a soft and fluffy kitten? Although you'll be able to change your look in terms of your outfit and props, your hair and makeup will remain the same so think about the kind of vibe you want to give off. Dark, heavy makeup and big hair is great for a sultry or kinky look, whilst red lips combined with otherwise barely-there make up oozes old-time glamour.

Choose a range of different looks. It's really important to choose the right lingerie to take with you. As well as thinking about how sexy your body will look, it's also important to be comfortable, as you might be wearing your items for a while as you try to capture the perfect photograph. You can always take more items than you need and leave some out. I took about ten different bra sets and three corsets with me but actually only wore four for my shoot. My photographer helped me choose which outfits would look best for each scenario.

Think about items which create shape. Professional lighting helps create wonderful shapes, but clothes and posture makes a huge difference as well. If you want to create curves, try reducing your waist with a corset or waspie. Wearing ruffles can add volume to bottoms and busts whilst giving a flirty and feminine look. Basques allow you to take gorgeous timeless photographs without constriction, and they also create a wonderful silhouette. Never underestimate the phenominal effect of a pair of high heels on your body shape and confidence levels!
