Good Vibes giving away 33 of our G-Swirl rechargeable vibrators. Here’s how to get one of your own:

My shins are burning through my jeans.  The sun isn’t as mean to me as it is to some people, but it’s not as kind, either.  Today I snorkeled, and tried to slather enough sun block to block enough sun to prevent the fire shins I’m now stuck with, but I was obviously unsuccessful.
However! I [...]

Editor’s note: Jameson, our fabulous traveler and blogger, has been working hard to bring sex-positivity to the women on the Olivia Cruise, so she didn’t have as much time to give us the scoop on her latest adventures. But we didn’t want to skimp on sharing what she’s been up to.

-My tour guide [...]

Here’s the first part of Jameson’s adventures on the Good Vibrations Olivia Cruise.

Hot damn my margarita is strong.  As I write this, I’m listening to a mariachi band and talking to my salsa.  “Come here little jalapeno.  I can handle you.” Thank god the chips are plentiful, because I cannot, in fact, handle the [...]

Sometimes, adding a vibrator to couples play can be bit of a challenge.  You finally get your partner comfortable with using a vibe in the sack, and then you end up spending the night making promises of what’s to come, “This is going to be really awesome” as you try to untwist your legs and [...]

The boat pulled away from Tampa at 10pm last night, but Carol & I had been on the boat since noon.  Let me clarify, and apologize: this is not a boat, it is a ship. Not the biggest ship, but definitely not the smallest.  Not that I know much about ships, or even boats for [...]

For those of you who love the sensation of having a vibrator to their nipples, but find traditional vibrating nipple clamps too “clampy” (i.e. pinching your nipples too hard), Incoqnito’s Droplet Nipple Vibrator might be perfect for you.
The Droplet isn’t your usual nipple vibe, but a rose, gold, or silver necklace that slips around [...]

I’ll freely admit it, the Blade Pendant Necklace is my favorite of the Incoqnito line.
The cut glass blade tucks neatly into a black wood case for a simple, elegant pendant on a thin silver chain.

Open the pendant up, and you suddenly have a sensation tool that’s similar to the pinwheel in that it can either [...]

Who doesn’t love a good musical?
Tipping their hats to sex toys and Julie Andrews, our Valencia Street Store has created their own musical.

Like to give it a try?  Send us a link to your Youtube and/or Vimeo videos of sexy Christmas carols or other musical themes!  Video must be posted [...]

You know times have changed from the days Good Vibrations opened our doors over 30 years ago. Today, sex toys are PICTURED on a popular mainstream website Oprah.com. This is big news in sexual pleasure land over here at GV. A world where sex toys are freely displayed without shame, and talked about as an [...]

It seems like ages ago that I was sitting in the Olivia headquarters in San Francisco, exploring the bright idea of bringing Good Vibrations aboard an Olivia cruise.  For those of you who don’t know, Olivia is the oldest and coolest lesbian cruise company in the world.  (Excepting maybe the Greeks, but their marketing was [...]

I’ve heard of people using electric toothbrushes as vibrators before, but this is the first time I’ve heard of a vibrator being turned into an electric toothbrush. From There, I Fixed It

Good Vibrations Loves Belladonna, and the award-winning porn star and producer loves good vibrators! (Read Our interview with Belladonna). She attended the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and hopped on camera with Switched as a Senior Sex Gadget Corespondent to check out two booths — LELO and We Vibe.
At LELO, she handled the sleek Iris Vibrator, [...]

If you haven’t noticed the huge “25% OFF Sale!” banner on GoodVibes.com, you might want to jump on over there and take a look around. I just distracted myself for the last 15 minutes dreaming about new toys that are making even the long-time staffers here at GV drool.
This is a sales pitch to those [...]

It’s not often that a truly innovative toy comes our way, but the folks at Aneros have another winner!
The Peridise is a fairly slim anal toy with an unusual design. Its shape causes the anus to relax much more than almost any other toy by stimulating involuntary peristaltic contractions.
Peristalsis is the rhythmic contraction of the [...]

Our Twitter followers are an outstanding group of sex educators, toy reviewers, erotica writers, sex-positive people from all walks of life. Yesterday we held a random Twitter Poll to find out… “What’s your current favorite sex toy”.

Hello Wonderful Readers! Here we all are again, with some very useful tips and techniques about something lots of people wonder about — boys’ toys! Don’t get left out of the loop girls (you guys too), because these Call Center Confessions are going to have you suited up and ready for hot and sexy play. [...]

Governments around the world are delivering SARS-related travel advisories, but the deadly epidemic is only one of many troubling travel issues today. Since 9/11, air travel has become complicated, frightening and irritating, turning routine business trips and leisure vacations into Kafka-esque nightmares. Even so, while the “mile high club” may have become an urban legend, [...]

Over a year ago when a committee of Good Vibrations workers got together to plan for our 20th Anniversary, we came up with an idea that would celebrate not only the sex toys of today — the best of which we already sell — but the fabulous toys of tomorrow. Our “Sex Toys You Wish [...]

Science! Better living through chemistry! It’s the story of the 20th century. As a sexologist I’m pretty familiar with the ways our pals in the lab coats study and impact sexuality — in fact every discipline in the social and hard sciences (except maybe astronomy) seems to have a stake in sex.
We see the same [...]

Once again I’ve been hitting the fast forward button hard, scrolling through porno to find clips to screen in my upcoming, Good Vibes-sponsored show at the Roxie Theater (www.roxie.com), Sex Toys in Porn. I actually used many of my favorite sex toy scenes in my last show, which celebrated National Masturbation Month, so I’ve been [...]

First-time Good Vibrations customers often ask us whether they’ll become “addicted” to their vibrators. When I do public speaking and talk about toys, people occasionally object to their use (or at least worry aloud) because vibes are seen as “addictive,” and sometimes men express concern about their female partners using vibrators because they worry that [...]

Several very popular items at Good Vibes fall into a category I’ve begun to call “Tell Me What To Do.” Unlike traditional how-to books, whose main function is to teach you to have a particular kind or kinds of sex, these help script your encounters. We do carry a lot of how-to books as well, [...]
