Good Vibrations Magazine

A very common question I get when I am working is “do you have handcuffs?” I never reply with a simple no. I tend to go into a brief explanation of why we don’t and what alternative we offer. This question of handcuffs is so frequently heard it has got me to thinking about why the [...]

The We-Vibe – one of the more innovative designs to hit the adult industry in a while. Recently we’ve seen a lot of new vibrators come out that have increased functionality, dual motors, digital interfaces… as well as many other bells and whistles. We’ve also see variation of the same be release one after another. [...]

AVN gives Kudos to Sex Educators
This great article came out in AVN recently and I wanted to make sure our readers also got a chance to read it. Written by Jamye Waxman it gives a brief history of sex educators in our industry. It’s refreshing not only to see these people acknowledged but to see [...]

15% off a selection of Rabbit vibrators and egg-shaped bullet vibes are on sale now for one week only (ends March 21st).
The “Rabbit” vibe gained mainstream popularity from the tv show “Sex and the City”. It is one of the company’s best selling vibrators, partly because of it’s celebrity status, but also because it works [...]

So… I got a fabulous customer on the phone the other day asking for advice on learning to talk dirty to her partner in bed.  She had asked if there were any video’s on the subject or any films that might give her ideas of what to say.  There is one video I can think of on [...]

So, I think most people here at Good Vibes know how much I love porn.  I mean I really love it.  I profess my love daily by enthusiastically reccomending title after title to customers and coworkers.  And I think my love for porn might actually be contagious because I’ve had the quietest customers start dishing to [...]

Our GVTV videos on Youtube have been a hit ever since the past marketing star picked up the camcorder and filmed her co-workers about cockrings. Have you seen them? If you haven’t, please do check them out.
And what better venue than the brand spanking new Sex-Lift.com. Talk about a ‘lift-off’, this budding website promises to [...]

Judging from the interest that my grandmother showed in the G-spot, I believed that, after the initial disapproval had passed, she would be receptive to a vibrator. So I made up my mind to buy one for her.
Then it came time to pick one.
It’s always a difficult to buy sex toys for another person, but [...]

My grandfather is driving and my grandmother is in the passenger seat. I sit in the back, reading. We’re taking the hour-long drive to visit relatives. As my grandfather pulls over and leaves the car to ask for directions, my grandmother swivels toward the backseat and asks, “What’s that you’re reading?”
I look up from my [...]

Let me tell you about my family. As a child, I spent a great deal of time with my father’s side, so I have an emotionally close, affectionate relationship with most of that side. I make it a point to visit them when possible, to call on holidays if I can’t be with them. They [...]

As a Good Vibrations employee with a generous discount, I am faced with a dilemma at Christmas. Namely, the necessity of choosing between:

Purchasing gifts elsewhere at full price, or
Saving some cash, and getting everyone sex toys.

Being the sex toy enthusiast that I am, I enjoy the idea of gifting sex toys—and I often indulge [...]

Reading is really sexy. I know so many of you out there agree… And you have been so disappointed by how the book sections in our stores have been lacking and I’m so sorry you’ve been waiting so long. I hear your disappointment loud and clear, which is why I am so [...]

Ask any of my coworkers what my favorite two topics of discussion are and they’re tell you:
Porn and Female Ejaculation.
While I’d love to spend this post ranting and raving about my favorite films and directors and stars, it’ll have to wait until another time, because today we’re gonna talk about Squirting.
There are a lot of [...]

As i was reading your post, i was hoping that it would include something about the ‘female sexual enhancement’ products that are out there. I won’t name any of them here, but there are a lot of choices (lotions, ointments, pills,etc.) if you search for that term. Do you or anyone out there have a [...]

Okay folks… I hope I don’t offend anyone but I have to vent about my biggest pet peeve in this job:
 When customers ask for gimmicky “aphrodisiacs” (not the right word, I know, but can’t think of a better one)…
We’re talking mood creams, orgasm pills, anti-ejaculation spray, anal desensitizers, etc.  It drives me berserk when people [...]

So two things of note today, or should I say, two colors. First let’s begin with Purple. They customer interaction was short and sweet, but nevertheless meaningful, and went a little something like this…
Custie “Hi.”
Me “Hi.”
Custie “Do you have anymore of these in the back?”
Me “No, unfortunately we don’t. Is there something [...]

Ya know , somebody could make A LOT of money if they would just purty up the Hitachi wand a bit. I know I spied a competitor make a black one, but would it really be the same? And for the heaven’s if you already have a Hitachi ( and goodness do they last!) what [...]

Dear Good Vibrations Customer,
I’ve lived in the San Francisco Bay Area my whole life. I grew up in southern Marin County with a crazy artist for a mother and an old school, city-surfer for a step-father. To say the least I grew up under the influence of fairly unconventional and slightly radical thinking. Many topics [...]

Sex Toy Spotlight presents…

Or, The Difference Between Anal Plugs, and Anal Dildos.
The other day, my ass decided to eat a glass plug.
Gulp…
This is still a company blog so I’ll spare some detail, however the educational value of this lesson should not go unheard. SESAs (Sex Educator Sales Associates) are trained that anal toys should always have a flared [...]

What makes a good Sex Toy gift?
Naturally, it depends who the person is, and their relationship to you. I have friends who have given their fathers vibrating cock rings and anal prostate massagers. If I had that kind of close relationship with my own dad, sure… however in my family, there is that line.
Some gifts [...]

First, as Anal Sex Month draws to a close, my favorite anal-centric store encounter:
Me, standing behind the counter, ringing up a young woman who was maybe 22 or 26 or something like that. Was she buying a turbo glider, or a lady luster? Who cares, this is besides the point. She has brown [...]

So August is quickly coming to a close, and seeing as it is the wonderful month of Anal Pleasure I thought I should make sure to continue my spots post with an entry about the P-Spot or Spots. In reading and talking to people I find that the term P-Spot can be used to [...]

I get many calls, emails, and AliveChats from heterosexual couples seeking toys to spice up their sex life. We have a couple of great resources on our website for these needs. Our Handy Dandy Couples Shopping Guide is a great place to start and a very underutilized part of our site, but the web department [...]

Since I’m a newly hired SESA, I get to experience many great training opportunities. We just completed a 3 part training course in everything from Male and Female Sexuality to Anal Play to BDSM to Sex Positive Sales. The training was amazing, with our very own sex educators Jo-El and Dr. Charlie Glickman, and we all [...]
