Sexual Independence Month!

Let’s claim July as Sexual Independence Month!  Becoming sexually independent can look like what you want it to look like, so this month I’ll share some ideas that individuals can use to become “sexually independent”! But first, let’s discuss setting the tone for being able to claim sexually independence!

Whether you are a confident and assertive sexual being, or someone who is more curious or timid, there comes a time where we all become aware of our needs and desires. Sometimes this awareness comes naturally… you know those people who are just always “on”! Always ready. Then there are others who are comfortable to just “be”. If it happens, it happens. And then there are those who are in what I call “hibernation”! Much like a sleeping bear, hibernation for our sexual side of our being can mean that that part of ourselves can be “asleep”! You know that feeling! We all get it sometimes… It can be days, weeks, maybe even months or years when you aren’t aware of your sexual side of yourself! Work. Family. Stress. Financials. These all play into whether we are able to awaken our sexual side of our being to be open to allowing us to feel desire.

Below I am providing the Trystology Talk Episode 8 on Hibernation, for those that may want to “wake up” their bodies, if they find that this subject speaks to them!

Whatever stage you are in, on – content – hibernating – I’d like to have you choose this month to assert yourself and acknowledge your sexual independence!

I know this might not be an easy thing. How we respond to our needs and desires can vary.  By default, some people will act on them, while others might naturally tuck those feelings aside and ignore or pretend they don’t exist. Other’s may not even be aware that they “aren’t in the game”. While these responses are natural and happen automatically, without thought, I am asking you to make a conscious choice to choose to “own it“… your sexual self!

Here’s the thing… no one checks in on us as to whether we’re doing well with our sexual selves.  They might ask about whether you exercised.  Meditated.  Ate well.  But when you meet your friends for coffee, they will most likely never ask if you’ve had your orgasm today!  Really!  Right?!?  We can focus on our nutritional health, spiritual health, emotional health, physical health, but no one asks about or focuses (usually) on their sexual health!  THIS MONTH, I want to change that!  I want you to consciously choose to wake up your sexual side.

So what does that mean?  And what are you choosing?  Sexual independence is not much different than waking yourself up from hibernation.  It’s choosing to self pleasure, or have intimacy with a partner, even when you’re not necessarily feeling like it!  We take our vitamins when we’re not eating well.  We exercise when we “don’t feel like it”.  But when it comes to sex, and intimacy, we tend to think we have to feel like it!  This isn’t really true!  You can wake yourself up, and you can enjoy intimacy and pleasure… even if you don’t think you can.

All of this is so very personal, so take from this what resonates with you!  If you just want a massage oil and a massage to gain your sexual independence this month, then choose that.  If you need to learn to wake up the body, and want a stimulating balm, or figure out what vibrator might work best for you or your partner, then let’s explore that!  And some people still may want to explore the orgasm-a-day philosophy… solo or with their partner.  Either way, make a choice to find out what it is that might be interesting to you, and then… it’s all about play!

Sexual Independence Tools! Here we’ll provide some ideas to explore. We have curated tools that will help with regaining your sexual self.  We will start with Stimulating Balms for the clitoris, as some are really tingly, almost electric, like the ON Balm.  Other’s are more gentle, like Intimate Organics Gentle, or stronger, like Intimate Organics Intense or Coco De Mer Pure Delight!  We will include Ride for men, which helps to extend their experience, or enhance it, and provide tools to play.

You’ll see that, much like my podcast on hibernation, we have included the full spectrum of tools in this section.  From massage tools, to couples toys, and vibrators for him and her.

If you have any questions, or want any recommendations, don’t hesitate to give us a call!  We even do private consultations, if you’re interested!  We can be reached at 888-801-8952.

Transgender talk at ANME with Buck Angel and Me!

Gender Identity and Trans-gender Sex Toys.

Buck Angel and Roylin Downs, Owner of Trystology

One of the things I look forward to when I go to the ANME Trade show in January and July is my visit with Buck Angel! This past year we really connected over the topic of gender Identification, and how we each, as individuals in our 50’s, want to be more inclusive in our language when talking with non-binary individuals. So look for that conversation to come up in a big way in the near future!! I’m excited about that!

Buck Angel and his new products, Fun Boy.

Seeing Buck at the ANME show this past January, we saw an introduction of toys for trans-men. Buck’s first product, the Buck Off, was a first in strokers, which you can see in the center of the image of Buck with his products, and now in July we saw a whole litany of new products that will not only be great for trans-men, but also are versatile enough to be used by anyone who wants to wear a packer, or these products can be used by straight (Cis-Gendered) men for adding girth.

Fun Boy by Buck Angel

The products designed by Buck are made of a soft, proprietary material by the Perfect Fit Company, which makes the Fat Boy, Slim Boy and Zoro harness & dildo products.  The quality is exceptional, as you can see in the detail of the photo here of the Fun Boy.  The thing about the new Fun Boy is that, like the Zoro, it can be worn with a strap/belt, to keep it in place, or it can be placed in the underwear and simply used as a packer.  It is also hollow, so it can be a versatile tool to allow for girth on the penis, as well as giving one the more endowed feeling.  Trystology will be carrying the Fat Boy and other Buck Angel products, when they are available in September 2017.  You can see the Buck Off, and other Buck Angel products at www.Trystology.com.

Vibrators for Couples! Saucy!

Remote-Controlled Partner Play for Him and Her

Sometimes you just want to have some fun!  With remote controlled sex-toys, customers have been “playing” inside and outside the bedroom for the last couple of years.  With the We-vibe couples play toy the We-Vibe Classic, she wears the toy and both partners share in the vibration.  It’s also a fun toy outside the bedroom. However she’s the only one who can feel the vibration!  I’ve always thought that wasn’t fair, because as much as we know men like remotes, women also like the ability to “play” with their partner, outside the bedroom!

The wait for a solution is over!

I have paired two fabulous remote-controlled vibrators… the Lelo Hula and the Lelo Oden 2… for the ultimate in partner play!  While you have to be in the vicinity, meaning it’s not Bluetooth enabled (that’s a whole other story), it makes remote play at home or outside the bedroom a whole lot more fun!

Lelo Hula Beads Remote Controlled Vibrator

First, we start with the Lelo Hula.  This is a great remote controlled toy that is amazing at assisting with pelvic floor tightening!  You insert it into the vagina, and turn it on.  Leave it going for half an hour or so, while you go about your business.  Really!  It’s that easy and fun!  The remote has 8 different settings, as well as different power levels.  The Hula can also be used internally during oral sex, or laid externally on the labia and clitoris.  Overall a fun toy that’s waterproof and rechargeable.

Lelo Oden 2 Remote Controlled Vibrating Ring

Next is the Lelo Oden 2.  The Oden 2 is a great vibrating ring for men.  With two ring options, one for more restriction, the other for more comfort, it’s a personal preference as to which he uses for hands free clitoral stimulation during lovemaking!  It’s quiet, powerful, and with the remote you get the same 8 sensations, and various power levels.  AND there’s Sensa-motion, where the toy responds to your movement.

So how do we work them together, you might ask?  Each partner turns on the toy, and puts the toy in place… This doesn’t mean the toy is vibrating, it’s just on, and ready for use with the remote control. For men, I recommend the more open ring, with the vibrator pointed down toward the testicles.  For women, you can insert the Hula either way, with the string down, or up.  I suggest up, so the rotating movement is closer to the G-Spot.  Once you have your products in place, you each have your remote, and are ready to go out to dinner.  Or play.    Now the fun thing about these products, is that they both can work off of the same remote!  REALLY!  So when one remote is turned on, and vibration is increased, both toys start to vibrate.  Yes, that means if anyone else in the restaurant happens to be wearing a Lelo remote-controlled toy, they too will have their vibe start.  Crazy, right?!?

All’s fair in play with remote controlled toys, and I love that we have a way in which both men and women are able to play with their partners outside the bedroom.  For more fun ideas, check out our kits at www.trystology.com

Hot Octopuss Pulse Solo vs. Duo

Learn the difference between Pulse Solo and Duo

Hot Octopuss is one of the best men’s toys available today.  With its sleek styling, pulse technology, and adjustable fit, it really is a versatile toy for men.  It can be used alone or with a partner, for stroking, or just held in one position. And with the men’s toy category filled mostly with vulgar toys that most men wouldn’t want seen by their partners, the Hot Octopuss Pulse is a refreshing alternative to what’s been available!

With the availability of both the Duo and the Solo, it can be challenging to decide between the Duo and the Solo.  Sometimes people choose because of the price, with the solo being less expensive.  Sometimes it’s because of the ability to share it with a partner.  Or it could be the remote control…  While the remote doesn’t turn the toy on or off, it does adjust the external vibration on the silicone coated Pulse Duo.

I have done a comparison in this video to help you see what the Hot Octopuss Pulse looks like, how it functions, and reasons why you might want one or the other.  Let me know if this was helpful, or if you’ve got things you’d like to explore further regarding the Hot Octopuss Pulse!  I can be reached via email at Roylin at Trystology.com.

Je Joue Nuo – Remote Controlled Anal Plug!

It’s interesting, I wasn’t quite sure about this when I first saw it… a remote controlled anal plug?  Now don’t get me wrong, everything Je Joue does is amazing, so the feel of the silicone was divine, and the remote control was just plain genius… a pen like remote device!  But a remote controlled Anal Plug?  Then I met the Nuo, and was completely won over!

Je Joue Nuo Plug Black A02776-JeJou-Nuo-2-1200x1200

Je Joue’s Nuo is a soft silicone, flexible at the base for comfort, yet the tip of the toy is firm.  It is easy to use, and has some of the most interesting sensations of any toy we’ve seen thus far!  Makes me very intrigued to meet the Je Joue Dua!  It feels as though there are three motors in this little guy, and with the remote, you’re able to toggle through each sensation, and amplify or decrease the sensation, as desired.  It’s wonderful that the pen vibrates as well, allowing a partner to adjust the sensation and know what the person wearing the Nuo is feeling!

Je Joue states that the “Nuo can be controlled with a discreet pen shaped remote or with the Je Joue app for sensual long-distance play. Intensifying foreplay, enhancing pleasure during sex, or starting seduction outside the intimacy of your room, Nuo provides heightened anal sensations.”

So, yup, there’s an app for that!

Waterproof, rechargeable, quiet… remote controlled and bluetooth enabled!  Doesn’t get much better than that!

New Pulse II Solo and Pulse II Duo

Amazing New Guybrators!!!

Last year saw the introduction of the “guybrator”!  Sure there’ve been vibrators for men… but this new toy took men’s vibrators to a new level, even going so far as to donate these toys to a soccer team to “let off steam” during the World Cup!  Never before have we seen such bravado from such a unique sensual product!

Pulse II Solo Men's Vibrator

Pulse II Solo Guybrator

Now, with that said, Hot Octopuss Pulse seems to have TRULY outdone itself, with it’s a reinvention of it’s own Pulse vibrators for men!  Now waterproof, with multiple sensations, and quiet, the New Pulse II Solo is an amazing new vibrator for men.  With claims of taking men from flaccid to erect through its pulse plate technology, it has been very well received.  It’s pulsating pulse plate on the frenulum creates an erotic sensation for men.   While the original Pulse was less well received by women for partner play, as they found the original Pulse exterior to be less than enticing due to it’s hard shell outer case, the new Pulse II Duo will certainly change that perspective.  Coated with soft silicone, and with a remote control and a dedicated vibrator to create the desired sensation, from minimal to strong vibration on the exterior, the Pulse II Duo is sure to be a “pleaser.”

Pulse II Duo Men's Vibrator

Whether you are looking for a solo play men’s vibrator, or a partner play toy, this pulsating men’s vibrator has a lot to offer. Pulse II Solo is still $99, while the remote controlled Pulse II Duo is $139.

Best Prostate Massage Tools

Prostate Massage Tools that Vibrate!

We are entering a new world.  One that is more accepting of anal play for men!  Yeah!  Hopefully the day of people (including Doctors, YIKES!) alluding to men who like prostate stimulation, in any form, must be gay, are over!  Anyone more open minded, or in the know, understands that prostate stimulation, is just that… stimulating!  And for the most part, the only way to stimulate the prostate is through the anus.

You may not be aware that the male prostate is very similar in many ways to the female G-Spot, thus why it is often referred to as the male G-Spot, or the P-Spot.  Using the same concept of the 1-3 inches up on the upper wall concept for females, the male prostate is 1-3 inches in on the upper wall in men.  The best way to know what the direction it is, you would point the bulbous point or curve of any toy or finger toward the testicles and perineum.

Aneros Helix SYN Prostate Massager

Aneros Helix SYN

Okay, so how exactly can we achieve a good prostate massage? Generally any toy that can be used for a G-Spot, can be used for the prostate… with one MAJOR rule… nothing is inserted into the anus that doesn’t have a flange.  Flange = Stopper.  So we look at prostate massage tools that are specifically designed for the anus/prostate, like the Aneros Helix Syn, which is one of our most requested toys. With its specially designed shape, and the silicone coating, it is one of the most comfortable and effective prostate massage tools.  You can also see that it has light pressure on the perineum, with the black curve with red dot, and a red handle that is great for giving the massage.

So, what’s the new thing in prostate massage?  Vibration!!!  And there are a few toys that we really like that are awesome for vibrating the prostate.  The Lux 3 and the Black Pearl.

The Lux 3 is a sleek look made of high grade silicone, designed perfectly to hit the prostate.  It has a variable speed vibration, so the longer you hold the button, the higher the vibration.  The vibration carries through the toy, however it is focused on the Perineum, so as not to over stimulate the prostate. It is waterproof, rechargeable and quiet.

Lux 3 Prostate Massager

Lux 3 Prostate Massager

The Vibratex Black Pearl is a new prostate massage tool with strong vibration, and a button that when pressed shifts from one sensation to another.  It is fairly straight, however has a button at the tip that protrudes that should hit the prostate.  This particular prostate massage tool vibrates at the tip, unlike the Lux 3, so the stimulation at the prostate can be very strong.  Due to its strong vibration, women might be tempted to use it, so it can also be used for G-spot play for women.  It is silicone, as is the Lux 3, and is easy to clean, because it’s non porous. Being waterproof, it can also be boiled for cleaning, if so desired.

Black Pearl Prostate Massager

Prostate massage can be an extremely enjoyable experience for men, so it’s wonderful to see that our society, for the most part, is opening up this incredible experience for men to use as a technique during foreplay, solo play, or as a tool to be used during lovemaking.  The statistics speak for themselves.. orgasms 3-10 times stronger than traditional orgasms.

Lelo Pino Vibrating Men’s Ring

Lelo Pino Review

With the introduction of the Lelo Pino men’s vibrating ring, we see a whole new take on the shape, style and usage of a ring during lovemaking.  Lelo Pino is touted as “designed exclusively for bankers.”  An interesting niche to target.  That must be why the Lelo Pino comes with a money clip and cuff links.  Most everyday guys don’t usually wear cuff links!

Lelo Pino

Lelo Pino Vibrating Mens Ring Package

So here’s the thing.  If you’re able to look beyond the narrow target they are shooting for, because, let’s face it, everyone, whether you’re a teacher, artist, banker or business owner… wants great sex, I think Lelo may have come up with a very intriguing product!  Up close and personal, it’s a bit intimidating.  It is quite a bit larger than its predecessor, the Lelo Tor 2, or the Lelo Oden 2.  And the shape is like none we’ve ever seen…

Lelo Pino Cock Ring

Lelo Pino Mens Vibrating Ring in Black

Do you see what I mean?  With the pointed tip,  the curved space for cupping, and then the nodule at the base, before the ring, it has a bit of an intimidating presence.  But fear not, the Lelo Pino is truly designed with the experience in mind.  It is made out of platinum grade silicone, which is velvety soft.  Both the lower and upper “points” are in fact hollow and collapsible, designed for gentle stimulation, and are conductors, transmitting the vibration wherever it might be desired.  The ring itself is firm, while being soft and flexible enough to stretch for additional girth.

Besides being waterproof, rechargeable and quiet, as most Lelo toys are, one of the key features is the 10 vibration patterns, which are easily changed with the plus button on the side (seen above).  One feature I really like is that if the + button and the – button are pressed simultaneously, the Pino shuts off instantaneously!  That is so perfect, as very few toys have a quick off switch… and here’s the thing… we all need the vibration to stop quickly at times!

Here are a couple of suggestions on how the Lelo Pino can be used.  I always like to say that “There are no rules for how to use sex toys.”  These are just ideas.  You can get creative!
