Introducing DVDs to your sex life

by FunLove on July 29, 2010

Are you one of those people that has always been interested in trying out a DVD or two, but just weren’t quite sure how to add it into your sex life? Or maybe your partner suggested it to you, and you need a little bit more info on how to do it? Perhaps it’s never even occured to you, but now, your interest has been grabbed.

We’ve got a great new article by Georga Hackworth about how to spice up your sex life with DVDs

Here is an excerpt:

Porn is a great place to get ideas for different positions, different places to have sex that you may have never thought of (before such as outside or on the kitchen counter), discover sex toys that you never knew existed, and it can even serve as an introduction to something such as light bondage play. It also adds that extra visual stimuli to increase the excitement.

If you have never watched porn before, or are trying to introduce it into the relationship to someone who is unsure about it, there are a number of studios who make great quality couples DVD which usually contain plots and the sex is a natural outcome of the relationship dynamics that the characters have with each other.

Had a BLAST In Denver

by FunLove on July 20, 2010

Hey everyone -

Just wanted to thank everyone for the warm welcome in Denver!  From each of our stores, to the rocking learners who attended our Let’s Talk Sex event at our Arvada Store, to those who took the time to chat with my about Fascinations at the weekend even Thunder in the Mountains, I really felt a lot of connection to all of you Coloradans. Heck, we even broke our LTS record with upwards of 85 attendees at our Full Spectrum Sexuality event. Let’s keep up the momentum with Lolita Wolf on August 5th and Dr. Jenni Skyler August 19th.

This week, I’m heading to Tucson with Sarah Sloane (although I’m sad to be missing Sinclair Sexmith in Portland), and am excited to see even more new faces (and some of the old), and just wanted to thank you all for being some of the best customers, learners, bloggers, commentors, followers, fans, and like-rs in the whole universe. Y’all rock!

Free Classes in Tucson 7/22 and 7/23

by FunLove on July 19, 2010

Sometimes, it can feel like Tucson is a whole state away from Phoenix, which makes it hard for people to get to attend our free Let’s Talk Sex sexuality education seminars in the PHX area. Ergo, we’re brining in national sexuality educator and presenter Sarah Sloane for not one, but TWO free classes at our Tucson store this week!

Sarah Sloane teaching Full Body Fellatio for Fascinations

We start on July 22nd with Full Body Fellatio.

There’s more to sex than just “Tab A into Slot B”…and there’s more to Fellatio than deep-throating! Regardless of the kind of cock you’re working with – big, small, silicone, flesh, cut or uncut, there are hundreds of things you can do as part of a blow-job to make your partner’s toes curl, fingers clench, and brain explode. We’ll talk about erogenous zones, the right mindset for giving head, integrating some extra added bonuses into what you’re doing, and even how to make safer sex practices (like barriers) work to help, rather than hinder, the pleasure. We’ll even talk about how to work around physical limitations to make showing off your oral expertise more pleasurable for you, too!
Food and drink will be served, and a free raffle will take place.

This class is in the series of Let’s Talk Sex workshops put on by Fascinations. Like other workshops in this series, they are all free, and 18+. Spaces are first come, first serve. All stores are accessible.

All attendees will get a FREE $10 gift card to Fascinations, just for showing up!

And then, on the 23rd of July, she’s back for BDSM 101: The Keys to Kink!

Sarah Sloane teaching BDSM 101 for Fascinations

BDSM 101: The Keys to Kink
So you’ve been fantasizing about taking charge with your lover (or vice versa), or you’ve been fondling the spanking & flogging toys when you visit sex shops…or maybe you’re already exploring but want to learn even more. Trust us when we tell you – you’re not alone! Sarah Sloane, experienced sex educator and BDSM practitioner, will give you a fun, practical, and tantalizing guide to kink. From the inside jobs of determining what you want and how to get comfortable with getting it, to negotiating your fantasies with a partner, we’ll take the concept into the realm of reality – and give you a basic understanding of the varieties of kink and how to include them in your bedroom (or out-of-the-bedroom) play!

Food and drink will be served, and a free raffle will take place!

This class is in the series of Let’s Talk Sex workshops put on by Fascinations. Like other workshops in this series, they are all free, and 18+. Spaces are first come, first serve. All stores are accessible.
