Boston’s Good Vibrations Workshops are where it’s at!

By Kuono • Oct 15th, 2008 • Category: sex tips

Tristan Taormino (see her books and DVDs here at GV) just had an amazing workshop over at our Good Vibrations Brookline store. In her latest blog post on OpeningUp.net (a fantastic Open Relationship Book with its own website), she wrote:
“My trip to Boston was fantastic: a standing room only reading at indie bookstore Symposium Books [...]



A little Share goes a long way…

By Misty • Sep 5th, 2008 • Category: Toy Reviews, sex tips

It’s my intention to attempt to see a toy for all the ways it can be enjoyed – from multiple perspectives if you will – who can use it, who will it appeal to, how many ways can it be used aside from the intended market. I often find that the best toys [...]



We love the We-Vibe!

By Misty • Aug 13th, 2008 • Category: SESA, Toy Reviews, sex tips

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. [...]



Goodbye DVD Rentals… Hello VOD Digital Downloads!

By Kuono • Jul 2nd, 2008 • Category: Books & Videos, Porn, sex tips

Some of you may be wondering “What happened to the online Video Rental site that Good Vibes used to have?” Well, it’s gone the way of the VHS dinosaurs. You can still rent flicks from our Good Vibrations stores (I know Valencia does it… someone please correct me if the other stores do not?) however [...]



Darling (erotica)

By R.J. Ventura • May 7th, 2008 • Category: Erotica, Features, sex tips

Darling:
I’ve been reflecting lately on your new-found fantasy of taking two men at once, and I’ve had a few thoughts that I’d like to take the opportunity to share with you. Although the specific sensation of having two cocks simultaneously does seem central to your conception of the experience, there are many other elements bearing [...]



Nina Hartley is a Heterosexual Butch Lesbian on After Ellen

By Kuono • Apr 8th, 2008 • Category: G-Spot, Sex Positivity, Sex Workers, clit, sex tips, video clips

And she has a vulva puppet.
This clip is worth watching all the way threw to the end. Nina is adorable, and explains how to properly pull hair, how to let a woman grind herself off on your mouth, and I think I have a crush on Kate.
Watch for the Vulva Puppet demonstration. We still sell [...]

Oh, Girl… You nasty!

By Red Delicious • Mar 11th, 2008 • Category: Books & Videos, Masturbation, Porn, SESA, sex tips

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 [...]



3 to See

By Red Delicious • Mar 9th, 2008 • Category: Books & Videos, SESA, sex tips

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 [...]



Sex educating the YouTubers

By Kuono • Mar 4th, 2008 • Category: Sex Positivity, lube, sex tips, video clips

It’s okay to have a ‘lube buffet’! A WHAT??
lube buffet:
a variety of personal lubricants in one’s possession suitable for a number of sexual activities or locales (shower, bed, vaginal, anal, long-lasting, etc…)
I just watched a video on youtube that was posted about a month ago, featuring one of GV’s SESAs talking about that four [...]



Sex-lift is a Sex Video Jackpot!

By Kuono • Mar 3rd, 2008 • Category: SESA, Sex Positivity, sex tips, video clips

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 [...]



Princess Donna Teaches Class on Fisting Techniques

By Kuono • Feb 23rd, 2008 • Category: Porn, Sex Positivity, sex tips

Our friends over at Kink.com (a large kink paysite online, who are sex educated and practice BDSM safely) have a page up with none other than one of my favorite stars, Princess Donna, teaching a fisting class!
With most pornography, there is a law that prohibits the act of fisting. (Because it is ‘obscene’.) Should [...]



Reading is Sexy

By Red Delicious • Feb 15th, 2008 • Category: Books & Videos, Politics, SESA, Sex Positivity, sex tips

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 [...]



Cunts for Fags

By Kuono • Feb 12th, 2008 • Category: Events, G-Spot, Sex Positivity, clit, oral sex, sex tips

The Center for Sex and Culture (www.sexandculture.org) has a great class called Cunts for Fags. My friend and blogger, 5 Star, caught some great comments on her blog Iamfivestar.com. Included is a brief interview with Carol Queen and some of the participants and live models. The class lends a hands on education in a unique [...]



Squirting 101

By Red Delicious • Jan 31st, 2008 • Category: Books & Videos, Female Ejaculation, G-Spot, SESA, sex tips

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 [...]



Sex Advice Round Up

By Kuono • Jan 25th, 2008 • Category: Masturbation, sex tips

With so many Sex Blog Round Ups, I thought to start a Sex ADVICE Round Up.
1. blog.goodvibes.com – you’re here! You’re reading. If there’s a question you’ve got, leave a comment, and we’ll address it. How cool is that?! (We’re so into self love, that we’re putting ourselves first on this list… even though it’s [...]



Positions positions positions

By Kuono • Jan 23rd, 2008 • Category: sex tips

Whoa. I stumbled on a website and found a treasure-chest of links with sexual positions modeled by wooden artist figurines. There are more positions here than you can shake a stick at.  ; )
Kama Sutra anyone?

How about Gay and Lesbian Positions (er, about as “gay” as you can get for unisex dolls…)

And much, much, more.

You [...]



Dear Red…

By Red Delicious • Jan 21st, 2008 • Category: SESA, sex tips

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 [...]



Mood Creams, Shmood Creams

By Red Delicious • Jan 17th, 2008 • Category: Books & Videos, SESA, clit, sex tips

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 [...]



An Evening with the Doctors

By Red Delicious • Jan 12th, 2008 • Category: Events, oral sex, sex tips

The other night we had the lovely pleasure of a visit from Doctors Carol Queen and Robert Lawrence. The event was the latest in a series of in-store classes called Ask The Doctors. These classes are free events and happen on a regular basis at all our Bay Area locations. Tonight’s class focused on Erotic [...]



Purple and Green

By Red Delicious • Dec 28th, 2007 • Category: Politics, SESA, Technology, sex tips

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 [...]



A Collection of Dicks, Dongs, and Dildos

By Red Delicious • Dec 27th, 2007 • Category: Toy Reviews, sex tips

Lately I have been reveling in the collection of toys I have acquired in the past few years of my life. My coworkers have all heard me go down the list in utter shock of the numbers, and they kindly giggle at my disbelief. Since starting at Good Vibrations over a year ago, [...]



i HEART Vixen!

By Angelxtacy • Dec 26th, 2007 • Category: Masturbation, SESA, Toy Reviews, clit, sex tips

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 [...]



Positively Sexy

By Red Delicious • Dec 19th, 2007 • Category: Politics, SESA, Sex Positivity, sex tips

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 [...]



On penis pumps

By Dr. Charlie Glickman • Dec 17th, 2007 • Category: sex tips

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about penis pumps. I’m not really sure why that is, but I decided to write a little something about them in the hope that it will make them make more sense.
So first off, what is a penis pump? There are a couple of general types of pumps [...]
