Sex Tips

This week, we made Roy read us cards from the Lovehoney Oh! Talk Dirty Sex Game (alongside a few terrible 'Dad Jokes') in silly accents. The task? Don't laugh!

See how we got on in this weeks sex vlog as we play our very own version of 'Innuendo Bingo'!

Can you REALLY do all of your Christmas shopping at Lovehoney?

Well, some smart alec (Jess) made the bold claim that they could. So, we put them to the test. On camera.

Watch this weeks video to find out how Sammi and Jess got on, shopping for Christmas presents for their boss, their best mate and even their dog, at a sex toy store, in this festive special!

Many of life’s most enjoyable activities require you to work quickly. A game of Boggle, for instance, or eating a 99 in the heat of summer.

Sex is certainly an enjoyable activity; it's up there with board games and ice cream in my books.

But good sex isn’t about sprinting to the finish line. Taking the time to engage in electrifying foreplay is crucial if you want to knock your partner’s socks off.

Here are 5 tried-and-tested foreplay moves that your lucky lady is bound to love.

Picture the scene: the lights are dimmed, the candles are lit - and someone pulls out the silky satin restraints.

If you and your partner have decided to make your BDSM debut, then congratulations are in order! It’s great that you’ve found someone else who is on your wavelength and is up for some sexploration.

What could kill the mood slightly, however, is if you tie up your lover and then stand there staring awkwardly, while your lover lies there and just stares right back at you (also awkward).

Before you whip the handcuffs out, the best thing to do is plan your scene together. Planning will help clarify what sort of play turns you both on, what activities are off the cards, and what your safe word will be.

But exactly how do you plan sex, and keep it sexy? Here's 7 things to do with your partner (ranked from mildest to wildest) now that you've got them tied up.

Here at Lovehoney, we talk about foreplay A LOT (and for a good reason too!).

Much more than just some sexual appetiser that you quickly wolf down before the main course, foreplay is a crucial part of experiencing great sex.

Foreplay gives both your body and mind a chance to become fully aroused. This mounting anticipation means that when it's time for the main event, you'll be champing at the bit!

We hear about general foreplay tips all the time, but we ask you, dear reader – where's all the helpful advice on incredible anal foreplay?

Although it is literally located in the rear, when it comes to foreplay tips, the bum is sometimes being left behind. Well, we won't stand for it, so here are eight of the best anal foreplay tips. Bottoms up!

Generally, foreplay is known as ‘sexual activity during the lead up to sex’ or ‘things that get you in the mood’.

But what is sex and why doesn’t it include the lead up?

When does foreplay end and sex begin?

Foreplay can mean lots of different things to different people, so I’ll be covering what falls into the ‘generic foreplay’ category, how creating different categories of sexual acts can be damaging, my own definition of foreplay and when I think it should happen (hint – it’s not always before!).

Often, when the term 'foreplay' gets thrown around, it's sold as ‘something that comes before "actual" sex’ (i.e. a penis penetrating a vagina – thanks heteronormative school sex-ed). So for a long time, I assumed it to be kissing, cuddling and hands/mouth on genitals.

I know this experience isn't uncommon, and I know that to a lot of people, that's what foreplay is.

A lot of people want to know which is the quietest vibrator, and it's easy to understand why.

Now obviously at Lovehoney we believe that masturbating is a happy, healthy act that should have no shame attached to it, but that doesn't mean that you should be forced to announce it to the street every time you have fumble!

For those who like to keep play quiet, we've unboxed this awesome Super Silencer Sex Toy kit, that's filled with 3 brilliant vibrators, who each promise to be quieter than a mouse.

You, on the other hand, may not be.

Watch the video above, and read more about the Super Silencer kit, below.

One of the most common questions we get asked at Lovehoney is: "how can I spice up my sex life"?

Well, there are a bunch of ways, but it just so happens that one of the best ways is probably sitting in your palm right now: use your phone!

And no, we're not suggesting you utilise the vibrate function on your phone for "other" uses: we're talking sexting, people!

Ever tried it? Always wanted to but not sure how?

This week, we invited a sexting expert (yep - that's a thing) to come and teach us everything she knows.

Check out the video above, and read the interview below, to learn about Eva and the benefits of sexting.

The BDSM community are a group who practise Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sadism & Masochism.

If you have a partner or partners who want to go on this journey with you, then there are exciting times ahead. However, it can be hard to know where to start if you’re single.

Here’s some advice for those of you who are sexy, single and ready to discover the world of BDSM.
