Today, November 20th, is National (and International) Transgender Day of Remembrance. In the last few years (and this video is from last year, so there are more names and faces to be sadly added), over 100 people have been murdered for their gender identity/presentation. This doesn’t even take into account the hundreds and possibly THOUSANDS of people who are assaulted based on their gender, and tens of thousands more who are harassed each and every day.

Please watch this video. Again, it’s a year old, so many people are missing, but if you cannot take nine minutes out of your life to remember those who we have lost due to violence against the transgender community, what does that say? After you watch it, please think for a moment, or two, or ten, what YOU can do to create change in your community, in our community. How can we make it stop? This is completely unacceptable and heartbreaking. No one should have to be scare to leave their home due to their gender, and they should certainly not be scared of being killed. This is flat out wrong, and regardless of your politics, or religion, or moral views, is is NEVER ok to hurt and/or murder someone because of who they are. Ever.

If we don’t stand up and create this change, no one will. Stand up for people who are being harmed and whose voices are being heard. Create change, NOW. And always, always remember those we have lost.

Here’s another video from one of our Let’s Talk Sex free sexuality education workshops. This one features the incredibly talented Jamye Waxman, as she talks about anatomy, sex toys, fingers, the history of vibrators, and much much more, all in the pursuit of fantastic and enjoyable female masturbation. She’s a hoot to watch, and provides a great deal of good information about the female body, and sexual pleasure. Enjoy!

Here’s the video of Shanna’s G-spot/Female Ejaculation class (aka “Ain’t Nothing but a G-Thing) from the beginning of August. With talk about how to find the G-spot, what vulva anatomy really is, how female ejaculation works, and even sex toys that can help with G-spot spelunking, this is a great video with fun times, good information, and a sassy sex educator. Part of our free Let’s Talk Sex series. Enjoy!
 

Better late than never! This one is from the archives, as it was filmed back in April, and somehow, life got crazy and it never went live. But here you go, an interview with educator and sex advice blogger Garnet Joyce, who was fabulous enough to come teach Blowjobs 101 and 201 at Fascinations in Phoenix.

Back in May, we were so lucky to have Catherine Toyooka, sex coach and educator, come teach a Fascinations Let’s Talk Sex seminar on body image, and how to love yourself now. Her seminar went swimmingly, as we talked about self image, flirting, media and much more. Our learners loved to hear what she had to say, and we certainly hope to have her back to various locations in the future.

And if that wasn’t enough, we were able to sit down and chat a bit about who she is, what she does, her favorite sex toys are, some interesting educational experiences she’s had, and more. Enjoy watching what she has to say:

I like toys that recharge and don’t need batteries. I mean seriously, I hate it when they lose their juice at a very important moment, and then you have to rummage around your junk drawer looking for batteries, and then of course you don’t have the right size, and even if you do, then you have to worry about disposing of the used batteries later in a earth-friendly manner, and plus when you store your toys or travel, you’re supposed to the take the batteries out and it just turns into a whole bunch of drama that I do not want in my life. PHEW.

Solution? Lelo toys that are rechargeable. They hold their charge for hours, all of them use the same charger, so you only have to worry about having one available, and you never have to worry about batteries.

The newest toy on the Lelo line is the Ina, a rabbit style vibrator (aka dual stimulation toy) that is made of 100% medical grade silicone and is rechargeable. It comes in purple, orange or lime green, and comes with a satin bag for storage, which I appreciate…no one likes lint and cat hair on their toys.

What did we think of it? Well, I personally have never ever found a rabbit style vibe that I liked and worked for me, and let me tell you, I’ve tried literally dozens. The Ina, while awesome, didn’t work for me in the way it was designed. However, I did enjoy using the incredibly powerful motors (yes, it has two; one in each) on my clit, just as was.

But all was not lost. My partner does in fact love dual stimulation vibes, and she really really really liked this one. A LOT. In fact, despite all of the countless sex toys and vibrators we have, she put it at the top of her list of favorite toys. And that’s saying a lot.

It was easy to charge, I liked the buttons on this better than the ones on my Gigi, as these are quite a bit easier to use. I hope all new Lelo toys will be coming out with these button styles.

I also really liked the different vibration options on this. You could do the regular low, high, roller coaster style, etc options, but you can also go from one motor to the next alternating between the two. Lots of options (plus each one has multiple vibration levels) on this toy.

This is one of, if not THE best harness available out there. I mean, seriously, the Spareparts Joque two-strap harness is just brilliant. Pure brilliance. Why?

Let’s break it down.

Comfort. I like comfort, a lot. This is made out of material similar to swimsuits and diving suits, so it’s way comfier than some of the leather, vinyl or webbing based harnesses I’ve checked out over the years. It’s so comfy I can wear it under my clothes, if I want to get some action while out and about (great for pack n’ play!). Plus, there is no rubbing of the not-nice kind while doing the deed. Plus, it’s really adjustable in all kinds of ways, which means it fits me PERFECTLY. And then when my partner is wearing it, it fits her PERFECTLY. Love it!

Stylish. In pink (which I personally don’t like) or black, this harness shines. The two straps in the back really frame the wearer’s ass nicely, like an ass picture frame. Mmm. It looks good, it looks sporty, but I think it even looks good on me, and I can rock it as a femme.

Easy to Clean. Two words that can get me wet about almost any product of any kind: MACHINE WASHABLE. That’s right; you can get it on all you like in this sassy harness, and then just toss it in the wash. How brilliant is that? No more leather cleaner, or wiping down vinyl with bleach. Just you and your washing mashing (or the one at the laundromat — perhaps you could pick up a new partner there?).

Adjustable O-Ring. So you can use a smaller dildo to start out, and then work your way up to medium/large. Granted, this isn’t going to fit anything massive, like the Rascal or the Hottie Extra, but it will fit the majority of dildos, and you don’t have to take the O-Ring out in order to do so. Plus, with the cool back flap, you can also use a double ended dildo (such as the Feel-doe or the Share) IN your harness, to give you a little extra stabilization and security. And who doesn’t want that?

I have loved this harness since I first tried one on over my swimsuit at Dinah Shore 2007. It’s cute, comfy, great for people of all genders (including those born with a cock), and is each to clean and store (comes with its own little cute pouch). How can you NOT want one of these?
