			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Wonderful Readers! Welcome back to this month’s issue of Call Center Confessions. Molly and I have some fun tips and ideas for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday, as well as goodies to keep you warm and wet all through the New Year! Let’s get this party started, shall we?</p>
<p>Hi Molly and CeeCee,</p>
<p>I am a differently-abled woman and read about your business being friendly to folks like me with disabilities. I hope you can help me with suggestions for my partner (who is not disabled) and me to help enhance our sexual explorations. I would like to surprise my partner with some gifts for Valentine’s Day; maybe you can help me decide what might work for us? I cannot support my body for extended periods of time, and find it difficult to reach some areas of the body. My partner is also a woman who is very active and patient with these challenges. I would love to surprise her with some goodies that would allow me to enhance our sex play to both our benefits. Would you have any thoughts about things we might try? Thank you both for your ideas!</p>
<p>In anticipation,<br />
Daring and Disabled</p>
<p>Hi D&#038;D!</p>
<p>Thanks for sending us this great question! We can certainly help you with some new and innovative items we think are going to make your Valentine’s sweetheart melt like chocolate in your palm. A super new plaything that we think is going to rock your world is The Cone! This is one love-seat you are going to want to sit down on, and stay a while. The firm yet silky silicone exterior houses a 3,000 rpm motor (this is truly going to rock your world!) and 16 pre-programmed vibration patterns: from a slow warm-up, to rocket–to-the-moon-orgasm high, at the touch of a button. The base is sturdy, and you can use this in just about any position you can think of. Sit in a lotus or cross legged position, lean back on your hands or elbows, or try resting on your tummy, with The Cone humming between your legs. Try that trick while reading erotica, and see how many time you can orgasm between pages!</p>
<p>Another newbie that’s perfect for people looking to extend their reach, but not over-extend tender joints, is the Pleasure Extender. We selected this little powerhouse for its fun look, durability and simple controls! A one-touch button in the finger cover turns this charmer on. Now, you can angle the vibrating egg with the silicone-blend nubby sleeve, into any position that suits you or your mate! The vibrations are strong enough to satisfy, but not strong enough to numb sensitive areas. You don’t ever have to worry about loosing your grip on the Pleasure Extender. The finger slide stays right where you want it, on your finger, until you take it off. And, the on/off button is also right there at the tip of your finger, to really extend pleasure by easily stopping and starting the action anytime you want! You can get all lubed up and enjoy the fun, since there are no buttons, cords or dials to fumble around with. This is something you will want to keep at the tippy-top of your toy box!</p>
<p>Lots of people like small and discreet vibes that pack a powerful buzz, but that are also light and easy to handle. Let us introduce a real cutie in this club; we call it Sprocket. This toy carries our much desired GV stamp of approval! Sprocket aims to stimulate the clit with either the removable plastic cap with textured nubs on it, or with the smoothly sexy metal nubs on the head of the vibe. Sprocket might be small, but you will get a whole lotta lovin’ outta this little powerhouse! We adore the very light, sleek look and feel of Sprocket, which is great for folks who have trouble holding onto heavier items. What a charmer! Molly keeps a Sprocket in her hand bag for emergency relaxation sessions during her commute.</p>
<p>News flash! We have had tons of requests from our customers for a different harness than the standard around-the-hip styles. We listened to your request, and are proud to introduce two new incredibly fun and hot designs. The Ménage a Trios Harness and Pony Harness are flying off our shelves, and we just introduced them to the world. Many people want a Double Penetration (DP) compatible harness—a harness that a man or woman can wear for double penetration of a partner. We’ve got you covered! The Ménage a Trios Harness has two center O-rings that either two dildos can be fitted to, or a penis and dildo. What an ensemble, isn’t it Molly? Talk about having it all! And, the Pony Harness is excellent for folks who cannot bear their body weight easily, or need to recline during sex. The Pony fits around a thigh, pillow, cushion, etc. You can be in a seated position with your partner, or on your lap for face to face fun; think of the deep kissing the harness will invite! Or, your partner can be facing away for a lovely view of a bare bottom sliding up and down on their lap. Mmmm, now that’s entertainment! If you really want to take a wild ride, pair up Pony Harness with the newest Vixskin™ treasure called the Spur. The Spur is for fans of realistic dildos, and is perfect for anal beginners or folks who like a slimmer insertable toy. No one is going to be out in the pasture when you “Spur your Pony” for a wild and sweaty ride! Yeee-haw!</p>
<p>Whew, I am just about all worn out with all the bucking and romping going on! When you need to get cozy and warm after all the lovin’ why not slip into our Starburst Hoodie? Show off your GV spirit and your stellar fashion sense at the same time! We designed this light-weight hooded sweat-shirt with a zip-up front with the name of your favorite place to buy sex toys and a stunning starburst, adding a dash of swank on the back! These are a fun gift idea for the upcoming Valentine’s holiday, as well as a great layering item during these chilly winter months. Heads are sure to turn in envy when you are decked out in the latest and finest from Good Vibrations. You might want to get a couple of these because someone is sure to steal yours away! So stock up!</p>
<p>Dearest Molly and CeeCee<br />
My girlfriend and I consider ourselves to be experts of our own pleasure. We definitely know how to get each other off. Now, since my lady knows what she likes and I know what she likes, I feel lots of pressure to always get her something good. I made it through the holidays, and she was thrilled with all my gifts; but now Valentines is fast approaching. We love our high-tech gadgets, like the Little Chroma. We enjoy watching our favorite porn like Fashionistas and Crack Her Jack in our state-of-art home theater. Please send any suggestions my way for some hot new flicks, books and toys! Thank you in advance I am sure my partner will be pleased!</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Techy Tim</p>
<p>Helloooo Techy Tim,</p>
<p>CeeCee and I are thrilled to bits that you have bestowed on us the honor of being your personal shoppers. Our Toy, Book and Video Buyers have been hard at work scouring the market looking for the latest and greatest goodies. We think you will be particular impressed with the current video selection. Eye candy and more await you and your lover. So without further ado, let’s talk about sex.</p>
<p>The long awaited sequel to the show-stopping Fashionistas has arrived—Fashionistas Safado: The Challenge. Fans of the first Fashionistas will not be disappointed. Belladonna and Rocco are back as powerhouse fetish fashion designers and lovers. Can Rocco and Belladonna mix business with pleasure? You will have to watch this sequel to find out. CeeCee couldn’t get over the aerialist and performers from the Las Vegas Fashionistas Live Show, who worked the runway in more ways than ten. Fans of spanking, verbal degradation, latex anything, clamps and clips, sensory deprivation, erotic asphyxiation (choking), group sex and anal play will have enough inspiration to make any winter night into a hot summer day. Helpful hint: you may want to pick up the Crescent or the New Wave. You partner may feel inspired when she sees the toy’s cameo on disc two.</p>
<p>Next up on our must-see list is Ass Addiction. Fans of butt play; this is the film for you. CeeCee and I couldn’t get enough of these lovely ladies shot in HD with wide screen format. This film will make use of your home theaters’ bells and whistles. These gals can’t get enough of anal play; whether it’s toy play with Gia, some double penetration with Katja, or Kinzie and her three cock anal-party train. CeeCee thought Shyla was cute enough to eat, with her school-girl get-up, cutting class to get her anal fix on.</p>
<p>Fuck is director Brad Armstrong’s story of sex throughout the ages; from early man to futuristic worlds with anal sex machines. Watch as the story of sex unfolds with a beautiful cast and amazing backdrops. You and your lover will have a timeline of lust and desire at your fingertips, complete with wide screen format to complete the fantasy of having your own private screening room. CeeCee just couldn’t get enough of the Goddess who proved that six hands are better than two. I would like to think that someone doesn’t have to be a goddess to please six people all at the same time. If so, than some of our favorite porn starlets are close to goddess status, pleasing four or five partners on their own. CeeCee just can’t stop talking about all the work she could get done if she only had a few more hands.</p>
<p>Remote toys aren’t a new idea; but remote toys that stay put, and last a more than a couple of months, are. Our Toy Buyer put in some long hours trying to track down the remote toy of our customers dreams, and finally after nights of testing and troubleshooting we are proud to announce the Madam Venus Butterfly has arrived. The single waist strap and two leg straps will hold this toy in place so it will hit all the right spots, and still leave your lovers’ tender places accessible for even more stimulation. Is your lady up to the challenge? This seven-speed gizmo will keep your lover on her toes and in bliss. Take this vibe to your favorite water-park—that’s right, this vibe is waterproof. The remote will activate the vibe up to 15 feet away, so try to get her stomach to really drop when you activate the buzz on a roller coaster or waterslide.</p>
<p>“Oh my God”, is what your girlfriend will be saying when she unwraps the OhMiBod. This hard plastic smoothie toy will vibrate to the beats on your mp3 player, CD player, or iPod® anything. Turn your home sound system into a giant sex toy with you and your partner climaxing to your favorite tunes. CeeCee just loves the sexy pink velvet storage pouch that comes with the vibe. The vibe also comes equipped with a 5-foot freedom cord, an additional end cap for use without music, and a universal headphone connector. Wow, I wonder if Steve Jobs knows all the ways people are using his gadgets.</p>
<p>Finally, your sweetie is sure to love our suggestions, but we think the Form 6 will hold a special place in her heart. The makers of Little Steel and Little Chroma have done it again with the Form 6. This luxury vibe is made of high-quality silicone, and is rechargeable, so there is no need to fuss with batteries. Its dual motors will work hard to keep you and lover in ecstasy, providing a range of oscillating vibration, from gentle to earth shaking and everything in between. The key pad of the toy is illuminated when on, so turn the lights down low and let the games begin. Feel free to take this toy any where you can imagine—go on a deep vagina exploration in your bath, spa or shower. Or, take it on your next snorkeling trip because this toy is waterproof.</p>
<p>If you follow our suggestions you’re Valentine’s is sure to be hit. So please keep on exploring with your lover and let the good times role.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading with us everyone! Molly and I are looking forward to hearing your comments, questions or Call Center Confessions every day, so contact us soon at advice@goodvibes.com. We can’t wait to hear from you!</p>
<p>Kisses!<br />
Molly and CeeCee</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fa la la. Admit it, you&#8217;re tired of giving plush robes and best-selling books. You want to make a real impression this season. You want to buy that special someone a sex toy.</p>
<p>A festive gift! Who can deny it? But the decision to do it is the easy part. Even if you have access to a store to shop in so you can see and handle the merchandise, picking an intimate item for someone else can be a challenging task. Here&#8217;s why. Unless you and your intended have had explicit talks about how fun it would be to have a certain make and model of dildo, how empty the house seems without a Hitachi Magic Wand, or how your New Year&#8217;s resolutions center on getting good at using a flogger, you might truly have no clue what Sweetie might like to receive. Sales associates at lingerie shops tell tales of guys who rush in at a quarter &#8217;til closing on Christmas Eve and say, &#8220;Uh, she&#8217;s about your size &#8212; what color would she like?&#8221; Sadly, this sort of shopper buys sex toys, too, and they ask Good Vibrations staff, &#8220;What should I get? What will s/he like? What&#8217;s the most popular?&#8221;</p>
<p>Friends, we are all well-trained in human sexuality &#8212; it&#8217;s part of our job description &#8212; but we are not trance channelers. We truly don&#8217;t know what s/he would like, though we can fill in the gaps in your information about a toy and how it works. We just can&#8217;t predict whether or not your squeeze will enjoy it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another all-too-common scenario: bringing home a sex toy and finding that your darling doesn&#8217;t want anything of the sort. S/he feels s/he&#8217;s being pressured or told s/he&#8217;s not adequate; you wanted to light a fire, but s/he responds as if s/he&#8217;s being criticized or manipulated.</p>
<p>Uh-oh. Trust me, you don&#8217;t want to have a gift that you hoped would make you closer, more intimate, and more experimental turn into a &#8220;How could you do this?&#8221; experience. First rule of sex toy gift-giving: give them to people who want them.</p>
<p>Knowing whether your partner is one of those people may take a little subtle clue-gathering. The very easiest way to do this is to take a trip to the toy store together. Pretend you need some Kama Sutra Oil of Love for a friend at the office, drag your love along to help you pick out the flavor, and casually cruise the sex toys together while you&#8217;re there. Pay close attention to things s/he finds interesting.</p>
<p>The next best scenario is to work the topic of toy use into a conversation. If you two never talk about sex, this will be a challenge &#8212; if that&#8217;s the case, maybe you both should read my book Exhibitionism for the Shy, which has suggestions for talking to your partner about fantasies and explicitly sexual topics. It&#8217;s in couples who never talk about sex that the abovementioned &#8220;You got me what!?&#8221; conversation is most likely to happen.</p>
<p>So what should you get? A gift certificate, that&#8217;s what. Let your lover know that you wanted to give a gift that keeps on giving, but thought s/he should have the final say in the matter. If you&#8217;re near Good Vibes or another store, schedule a time to go shopping together. Make it a date, with a nice lunch or dinner attached. Confer in whispers in the vibrator aisle. Check out the cock rings. Rent a couple of movies. (Some of the available movies, in fact, are educational videos about using sex toys, like Good Vibrations Part 2 and Carol Queen&#8217;s Great Vibrations.) Buy a book of erotica so you can read bedtime stories to each other.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not near a shop, shop together by catalog. The process of doing so, whether live or in the privacy of your own home, will give you a lot more information about each other&#8217;s sexual desires and curiosities. That will come in handy next year.</p>
<p>And if you really must hand over a wrapped gift, consider Laura Corn&#8217;s 101 Nights of Grrreat Sex or 101 Nights of Grrreat Romance &#8212; books that guide heterosexual couples in intimate, fun explorations of love and relationships &#8212; or Passion Play, an interactive game. Playing with these does what a good conversation will &#8212; open you up to each other, giving you more information about both of your desires and fantasies.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget, giving gifts like these, you&#8217;ll definitely also receive. Happy holidays!</p>
