National Orgasm Month

October 10, 2009

It’s National Orgasm Month, and there’s only one way to celebrate, but, some women find themselves unable to observe this gratifying month because they’ve never had an orgasm. To join in the fun, keep reading for all you need to know about the big O.


Orgasm 101

Orgasms are peaks of sexual excitement giving off intense, full-body waves of pleasure and relaxation. Fifty years ago, William Masters and Virginia Johnson described four stages of the human sexual response cycle: arousal, plateau, orgasm and resolution. Today, there’s some debate about the application of these stages to women as some women may not experience much of a resolution stage and may instead experience multiple orgasms without going through each stage all over again. There’s also debate in regards to the types of female orgasms. In the past, experts categorized female orgasms as either clitoral or G-spot stimulated. However, an orgasm may also be felt in the labia, heart, skin, spine or even as a rush throughout the entire body. Because orgasms are as unique as the women who experience them, there’s no way to define what’s “normal.” The only thing all female orgasms have in common is that they all involve contractions of the pelvic floor muscles. Sensation, duration and cause of the climax will vary from woman to woman; and through persistent practice and experimentation, every woman can become an expert on her own orgasms.

Multiple Orgasms

As is the case with regular orgasms, there is no “right” way to have multiple orgasms. Essentially, a multi-orgasmic woman is able to achieve more than one orgasm during a session of love-making or self-pleasuring. Multiple orgasms may not be for every woman, and that’s normal. But, if you find yourself interested in finding out whether or not you can achieve and enjoy multiple orgasms, the best thing to do is simply set aside some time to try, either alone or with a partner. After achieving one orgasm, try clitoral stimulation to reach a second climax.

Orgasms Have Health Benefits

  • Relieve tension
  • Burn calories
  • Improve sleep
  • Fight aging, by increasing the youth-promoting hormone DHEA

What Can You Do to Ensure You Achieve Orgasm?

1. RELAX. Enjoy the moment and don’t focus on having an orgasm.

2. COMMUNICATE. Let your lover know what feels good. When your partner does something you enjoy, encourage your lover to continue.

3. FANTASIZE. Let your imagination run wild. Some women find that having a fantasy during lovemaking helps them to climax. The moment you find yourself close to climaxing, try tightening and relaxing your pelvic floor muscles to spark an orgasm.

What Can Partners Do?

1. COMPLIMENT. Think of ways to make your lover feel sexy and adored.

2. BE PATIENT. Not just with your lover who is trying to achieve an orgasm, but with yourself, too. If you climax before your lover does, continue stimulating your partner by using sensual products, such as lubrication and a vibrator, or performing oral sex.

3.REMEMBER THE CLITORIS. Most women need clitoral stimulation in order to reach climax. The clitoris is just as important to women as the penis is to men.

Now that you’re an expert on orgasm, go out to your parties and spread the word. The more women know about orgasms, the easier it is to have one! Don’t forget to check out the physiology of an orgasm in The Passion Parties Guide to Great Sex.


Phthalates and Sex Toys

October 6, 2009

What are Phthalates?

Phthalates are chemicals (called plasticizers) that are used in plastics to make them soft and pliable. These chemicals are used in a variety of products that we use every day including coatings for pharmaceutical medicines, medical devices, building materials, personal care products, cosmetics, packaging materials, printing inks and food wraps and packaging. In fact, most people use products that contain phthalates throughout their day, every day.

Phthalates in Sex Toys

Like other products, sex toys get their softness and pliability from phthalates. Some of the products that Passion Parties carries contain phthalates. These products include those made of jelly rubber, PVC and soft vinyl. The amount of phthalates varies with each material and some materials contain only trace amounts.

Are Phthalates Harmful?

There has been much debate as to whether phthalates are harmful and whether or not consumers should use sex toys that contain phthalates. This debate lead to the only government sponsored clinical study designed to research the question of whether sex toys that contain phthalates are safe to use. The study found no conclusive scientific evidence that phthalates are harmful or pose any significant health risks. Conducted by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, the data showed that moderate to heavy use (up to one hour per day) is not associatedwith any significant health risk. Most consumers do not use these products for seven hours or more per week.

Passion Parties Recommends

Health and safety are very important issues for Passion Parties, our Consultants and our clients. We recommend that each user evaluate the available information and make an informed decision as to which products meet their needs. We also recommend avoiding the use of oil-based lubricants with any sex toy that contains phthalates. Passion Parties does not carry any oil-based lubricants. In cases where users wish to avoid any potential issues that may be associated with phthalates, Passion Parties recommends that consumers use condoms with sex toys. In addition to eliminating the transfer of phthalates, condoms also keep toys from trapping dirt and bacteria. However, using a condom does not eliminate the need for using a toy cleanser. Passion Parties recommends using a toy cleanser between each use.

Other Options

Passion Parties carries many products that do not contain phthalates. Our fall catalogue will even have a phthalates free icon. If you wish to avoid phthalates altogether, we recommend products that are made from silicone, glass, hard plastic or elastomer. These products include:

  • Bullet and Double Bullet
  • Mini and Maxi Bullets
  • Pulsing Orbiter
  • G-Lite
  • Velvet Curve
  • Velvet Pleasure
  • Versatile Vibrating Massager
  • Pretty in Pink Bullet
  • Tempting Tulip
  • Blossom Bliss
  • Waterproof Dancing Dolphin
  • Body Wand
  • Lovers Liaison
  • Ultimate Indulgence
  • Beaming Butterfly
  • Ben-Wa Balls
  • Pleasure Pods
  • Pleasure Pearls
  • Treasure Gem
  • G-Whiz
  • Glassy Duet
  • Male G-Spot Massager

Self Pleasure~Exploring your body

September 10, 2009

Taking the time to explore your own body, regardless of your age or sexual experience, helps you discover your sensual likes and dislikes and achieve orgasm more easily. Self-pleasure is a very healthy thing for all. Knowing where you like to be touched, and what effect that location has on you, shows you how to teach your partner where to focus his attention. Self-pleasure isn’t about replacing your
partner; it’s about developing your relationship so you both can enjoy sex to the fullest. It also teaches you to be more comfortable with your body.

A big misconception about self-pleasuring is that it solely involves your finger(s) and your clitoris. But self-pleasuring is about connecting to and understanding your own body. Don’t limit yourself and exclude the other sensual regions of your body like your breasts, nipples, stomach, thighs and buttocks. Explore your body, first with your hands, and remember the places that tingled at your touch.

  • You may sometimes feel an inability to relax enough to fully enjoy self-pleasuring. This inability may have many causes, the most common being stress-related. If you’re unable to relax enough to fully enjoy self-pleasuring but feel like you need orgasmic release in order to relax, you may just need some assistance. The RomantaTherapy® Velvet Pleasure, the first passion toy added to our exclusive RomantaTherapy line, is a small, quiet personal massager with a pleasurable, velvety
    touch. When used on your clitoris, it reduces the amount of manual
    stimulation needed. You won’t have to focus on keeping an adequate
    pressure or speed — just allow the Velvet Pleasure to aid in your
    pleasure and enjoy the results. The Velvet Pleasure comes with its own
    carry case, providing a discreet way for it to travel everywhere with you.
  • One of the staples of every woman’s Passion Pantry is the Bullet. A bullet is
    a small, egg-shaped vibrator attached to a controller by a wire. The bullet, like the Velvet Pleasure, provides added stimulation to any body part it touches. It has many accessories, like the Pleasure Safari sleeves, that change the type of stimulation received. For example, the rabbit provides a less intense, almost tickling sensation, while the turtle provides a more direct, intense vibration.
  • Perhaps orgasm doesn’t happen to you easily as a result of intercourse. Most likely, you’re not achieving the right amount of stimulation to climax. Every person’s level of arousal is different; it doesn’t mean you or your partner is doing anything wrong, or that you lack attraction toward your lover. Perhaps you just need a little something extra to help you get in the mood and “jump start” your arousal. To help you prepare for sex, apply a small  amount of Pure Satisfaction UniSEX Enhancement Gel to the center of a Personal Finger Smitten placed on the finger you are accustomed to using to pleasure yourself. Gently rub the finger smitten on your clitoris, allowing the Pure Satisfaction to take its effect. Many women say they are able to climax within five to seven minutes of application, and the tingling sensation and level of arousal you receive will help you when you’re with your partner as well.

Self-pleasure can also be incorporated into foreplay. An activity you can try with your partner is to lay side-by-side, facing each other, while you both separately stimulate yourselves while watching each other. When you’re ready, you can “take over” for each other and continue the activity, only this time you’re stimulating him while he touches you.
Self-pleasuring is the safest sex you can have. It helps you learn about your body, enjoy who you are and never have to worry about your performance. In addition to being pleasurable, it’s natural, invigorating, rejuvenating and fun. It increases your sexual awareness and makes you a better lover. You should
never feel ashamed about self-pleasure — there’s absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying who you are and what makes you feel good.

Pamper Your Passion Diva

August 23, 2009

You are super woman, super mom, super wife…but like a wise woman once told me: “If you don’t take care of yourself, how can you take care of everyone else?”

Today’s modern woman balances so many responsibilities in her life: family, career, friends, volunteer work, social obligations and more. Forgetting to add herself to that equation is something that most women seem to do. Women are so busy doing for others, they often miss out on doing something special for themselves. Sound familiar?

 You wouldn’t think that taking time to pamper yourself would be such a big deal, but here’s why it is: with so many people depending on you, you need to be at the top of your game, all the time and everyday. The only way to accomplish this is by nurturing your needs and pampering yourself. Think of yourself as a race car. Race car drivers spend hours pampering and tending to their race car. That’s because it’s essential that they can depend on their car to achieve victory. As a woman-on-the-go, you are no different. And, if you want to be able to go full throttle, you absolutely must incorporate self-pampering into your busy lifestyle. As Pat Davis would say, “Pamper your inner Passion Diva.”

 But how can you do this? So simple!

 ■ First thing first is to schedule your pampering sessions. If you’re like the typical, busy, 21st Century diva, you probably have a calendar you use to keep your schedule. Now is the time to add long baths, massages, trips to the nail salon and even sensual time with your partner onto that schedule. If that schedule is viewed by the whole family, just label your sensual time as “date night.”

 ■ Take inventory of the type of pampering you need. Do you often feel stress or tension in your neck or back? Then consider adding massages to your pampering schedule. Have you noticed you are less limber than you once were? Think about taking a Pilates class. It’s summer time. Are you looking a little on the pale side? Time to hit the tanning salon. Sit down and analyze the type of pampering you think you need and add it to your schedule.

 ■ Make it easy for yourself. If pampering becomes just another chore to do, you aren’t going to want to do it (note from Nikki: and you’re kind of defeating the purpose). So find ways to make pampering yourself easy. For example, if you would like to add manicures and pedicures to your pampering schedule, but the nearest salon is a 20-minute drive, gather a group of friends and hire a technician to visit your home. Also, always keep spa-like products in bathroom. You’ll need lotions, scrubs, shower gels, bubble baths and body mists to pamper your inner Passion Diva daily. Select tranquil and romantic fragrances and keep all your products together in one container or basket. Call it your special pampering pantry.

 Once you incorporate self-pampering into your daily schedule, you’ll find yourself better equipped to handle any little thing life throws at you, whether it’s traffic, a late appointment or a surly store clerk. With proper balance and soothing pampering, you’ll find yourself able to go full throttle, all day and every day.

G-Spot Fundamentals

July 14, 2009

Remember learning the fundamentals of the alphabet?

Well, it’s time for another lesson. However, this time we’re focusing on one very special letter: G. G stands for G-spot, and if you’ve been yearning to learn more about this elusive erogenous zone, continue reading to understand what it is, how to find it and about the sensual products you can use to help enhance, stimulate and increase awareness of your G-spot.

What is the G-spot— and does it really exist?

Yes, it does. The G-spot is a fleshy section located one to three inches inside the vagina on the front wall. Its exact placement varies and may move over time. The G-spot is named after Dr. Ernst Grafenberg, the first modern physician to write about the area and substantiate its significance in female sexual pleasure. Today, scientists debate about whether the G-spot is a group of glands and ducts clustered around the urethra or the point at which the nerves of the clitoris intersect with the vaginal tissue on their way to the spinal column. Still, some experts believe the G-spot is a female prostate gland because when stimulated, it may provoke an orgasmic ejaculation, causing the release of a clear fluid through the urethra. Not all women ejaculate when experiencing a G-spot orgasm. But if you do, don’t worry about the fluid. It won’t stain the sheets.

 How do you find it?

Begin by lying on your back and inserting a finger or two, with your palm up toward the ceiling. Make the “come hither” motion with your finger(s). The G-spot tends to swell when massaged, much like the erectile tissue of a penis. If you begin your search after you are already excited or even after having had an orgasm, your G-spot will be that much easier to find. As you explore the inside of your vagina, you will notice that the walls feel much like the inside of the cheeks of your mouth. When you feel a fleshy area that feels like the roof of your mouth, but with a rougher texture, you have discovered your G-spot. You may not find it right away, but don’t give up. This is a search worth much dedication. Finding your G-spot, or enhancing your awareness of it once you do find it, can be assisted with the right sensual toys and Passion Parties’ exclusive G-Spot Crème.

Introducing a toy to your partner

June 28, 2009
Persuading your partner to try a sex toy is similar to coaxing him into anything new – sexual or not. Change can be unsettling, but sexual changes can be even more so because intimacy is loaded with emotion. Some men may feel that the reason you want to try a toy means his abilities or equipment are not satisfying you. Reassure him that he is irreplaceable; a toy is just to provide an enhancement and to introduce some variety and spice to your sex life.For men who feel that sex aids are unnatural and say sex should involve no more than your bodies, you can point out that a sex toy is just like any other sexual enhancement, lingerie, candlelight, or sexy movies. Pointing this out might provide some perspective on your desire to introduce a sex toy. Your relationship is a partnership – you are both in this together. Make the decision together, select the toy together. Trust goes a long way, and sharing the experience helps promote that trust.Start out small and slow. Try a vibrating bullet for some non-intimidating enhancement. The best feature of this toy is it can be easily slipped between both of your bodies to give you the added clitoral stimulation you need.Let him watch you with your toy and encourage him to use it with you. Help him out by telling him what to do, where to put it, and how it feels. Eventually, try to use the toy with him. Be gentle, only use it lightly and allow him to get the general feeling of the vibrations against sensitive areas like behind his testicles, or slide it gently along the shaft of his penis.

Talk to him about toys and your curiosity to try them with him. The reality of sex toys may be a bit overwhelming for him, so don’t pressure him if he pauses. He may think that a sex toy will replace him. You can respond by asking him if masturbation makes him desire you any less. The obvious answer is no, it doesn’t. Just listen to him and consider his feelings. He might not be willing now, but you’ve opened the door and if he’s even slightly curious, he’ll be thinking about it.

 Remember…great communication = great sex.
