Abby Lee, the author of sex blog and book extraordinaire Girl With A One Track Mind, has long been a big fan of sex toys in general and Lovehoney in particular. Here's her Top 5 recommended Sex Toys and more

Girl With A One Track Mind's Top 5 Sex Toys:

And the winner? The Vibrating Rock Chick!

Says The Girl: "The Rock Chick is most definitely my favourite toy. It really does hit the parts other toys fail to reach; it's leagues above anything else - and for me, it's a guaranteed good time, every time. Aside from the pleasure it induces, I also think its design is remarkable: aesthetically, it is rather beautiful and it's unique in its non-phallic appearance - which is always helpful if you want to have it in your luggage going abroad...

A Quick Q and A with Girl With A One Track Mind

Do you find attitudes to sex toys changing more? Is it something you discuss with your mates much? Are people more willing to experiment with them?

Yes to all the above. A few years ago, my friends would never discuss sex toys, let alone masturbation. I suppose by debating the issues openly, TV shows like Sex And The City really did help bring sex - and sex toys - much more into the mainstream. It's wonderful that it now seems less of a big deal for people to talk about vibrators or dildos and I'm sure that talking about it has made it easier for people to feel comfortable experimenting with them too - which is great.

What sex toy do you think would make the best presents for a boy and a girl?

I think if a couple want to experiment and have fun together, they can't go wrong with a vibrating cock ring, which will stimulate both partners mutually and intensify their love-making. If people are looking for a little solo-fun, I'd suggest the Fleshlight for a boy, because it'll offer him the closest experience to intercourse that he'll ever have, and also has the added bonus of increasing his sensitivity and sensuality for when he is making love. For girls I'd recommend the Rock Chick, because it requires no effort (or hands!) to have fun with, and has the added bonus of getting her familiar with her g-spot, which will make for better orgasms when she is making love.

For the best night in: Toys or Boys? Discuss.

Oh god, it depends what mood you're in, doesn't it? We'd all like to have a lover at home, willing and eager, on demand, wouldn't we? But life isn't like that. And whilst I'd never say that a toy comes anywhere close to being with a real man, I would argue that when you want a wank - when you're really horny and just want a quick frig to have some release - then a toy can be the best thing in the world. You just grab it, lie back, and have fun. And you don't need to worry about the other person. If you want to make love with someone, a toy might be disappointing, but if you fancy a wank, a toy is bloody fantastic.
