Male Masturbation Aids – The Tenga Product Range

Masturbation has hit a new level with the Japanese Tenga product range we stock here at Simply Pleasure. These are only suitable for men but can make masturbating an entirely new experience. Think vibrators for men and you’re along the right lines.

Tenga Eggs
These small toys are perfect for travelling so can be popped into your (man) bag without anyone noticing. They are packaged so that they are compact but the air hole can increase to almost any size so is guaranteed to fit the size of your penis. Tenga Eggs can offer an incredibly intense orgasm once inserted over the penis due to the rounded sleeve and continual pattern that covers the entire penis. Try the different versions: Clicker, Wavy and Spider, all of which have a different pattern engraved inside to stimulate you in different ways.

Tenga Deep Throat Onacups
These masturbators offer a simulation of oral sex with deep throat action; the unique sucking action is made possible due to its special structure creating a virtual vacuum. The innovative pinched in shape of the cup allows you to achieve a tightness to maximise sensation. If youre looking for something a bit more hard core try Hard Edition Onacups for a harder inside texture meaning less room to expand.



Something else...
For something a bit different there are the lifelike vagina masturbators. Simply Pleasure stock a range of these – it all depends on what you like aesthetically and physically. There are some with lifelike vaginal openings for standard masturbation and then there are others which have both a vaginal and anus hole allowing you to choose where you want your penis to be. These are great if you like to fantasise that you’re with a partner whilst masturbating as you simulate the motion of having sex.

So next time your girlfriend taunts you that her vibrator has become her best friend go and try one of the Tenga products to show you too can have your own secret fun.

Which lube to choose.

Many singletons and couples are increasingly heading out to their local sex shop to introduce sex toys into their sex life. However, there is one common item that many forget to consider – lube. Without this your dildo, vibrator or butt plug could be sat by the side of the bed rather than being introduced to you and your partner during your steamy sessions.

So here is a beginner’s guide to lube and which one will suit your needs.

Water based lube
These are suitable for most things, although as they are water based there is a chance that the lube will dry out quickly so feel free to keep reapplying. Many manufacturers are now providing moisturising water based lubes to solve this issue such as Wet Light Liquid which is enriched with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera. Water based lubes can be used on skin, but remember they are not used as a form of contraception.
Silicone based lube
These tend to have a silkier feel than water based lubes and can get really slippery to provide maximum pleasure. Because of their silicone base a small amount goes a long way. The first time you try your new sex toy out try to get naturally lubricated either by masturbation or with the help of your partner. Then apply a good amount of silicone based lube such as Silicone Moist Personal Lube to your vibrator, dildo or butt plug and begin to enjoy your new toy.
Anal Lube
Anal lube is a gay guys must have to enjoy anal sex with a partner and Anal Eaze Insertz Applicators are a handy tool to have. The thin narrow end enables lube to be inserted into the anus without making a mess. Anal lube is also a necessity when any gay or straight couple want to use a butt plug. Anal Eaze Desensitising cream is what you will need as it relaxes the anus to allow anal sex to be pain free and totally enjoyable.


Warming Lubes
Just what you need on a cold Winters night. With these lubes the heat gradually increases the more the area is touched. Warming lubes are great for stimulating your partner allowing things to really hot up. They can also be used as a massage lotion so run your hands all over your partners body as foreplay giving them the ultimate body massage.

Flavoured Lubes
These are brilliant if you’re not a big fan of giving oral sex but have a partner who really enjoys receiving. Coming in all flavours from chocolate or vanilla to strawberry or watermelon, flavoured lubes give both parties the best experience during oral sex. Their main function is obviously to lubricate but their second function is to provide a mouth watering taste that is neither sickly nor sticky.



Overall lube is a must have to pop into your sex draw at home. Whether it be silicone based or flavoured depends on what you want to get out of it. Once you’ve tried one why not try a different type – you’ll soon come to love the slippery substance.

This month’s sex toy review

With a huge array of sex toys on the market it’s always great to have a helping hand when it comes to spending your hard earned money and getting the best product available to suit your needs. So our testers have been reviewing the latest and most popular sex toys to save you the ‘hard work’.

The Tiny Passion Twisters
The tiny passion twister was definitely a pleaser with our testers. Available in three designs these small but perfectly formed butt plugs are great for anyone from anal novices to experts. They are phthalate free putting all customers’ minds at ease and the push and pull ring at the base is great to allow the user extra control. Our testers reported the Tiny Passion Twister to be very flexible and enjoyed the added vibration function. With three shapes available it’s a great way to expand your anal sex toy collection and at a fantastically low cost, this is one toy that definitely offers value for money as well as intense pleasure.


Vibe Therapy
The new Vibe Therapy range of vibrators has gone down a storm with both our testers and our Simply Pleasure clients. This range of vibrators are designed with today’s women in mind and look sleek and modern, made out of medical grade silicone they will last you a lifetime and provide a lot of fun along the way. Our tester’s favourite this month was the Vibe Therapy Frenzy with seven functions and its ergonomic design it enabled easy use and a great range of vibration speeds depending on your mood. As well as being fully waterproof the vibrator is easily cleaned and is discreet and very pleasing on the eye, another resounding success from the Vibe Therapy range.
Body Pens
These chocolate and strawberry body pens are a great way to add a little fun into your bedroom activities and can be a great addition to foreplay. Our tester’s agreed and loved having the ability to write love messages across their partners body’s instead of the typical paint which does not allow for easy writing. One note that a tester made is that they can be a little messy and that the messages often become smudged, but then what can you expect when they taste so good you’ll be licking them off; a fun and inexpensive sex toy to spice up your bedroom.

Unusual Sex Toys

For those who may not want to visit a sex shop at first, using sex toys that are in fact not sex toys is the perfect intermediate option. It’s a good way to experiment to find out what you may like and explore the endless possibilities before visiting a sex store and purchasing sex toys. There are many everyday items that can be used safely as sex toys, such as:

Fruit and vegetables
Many fruit and vegetables are very phallic shaped and therefore it requires little imagination when it comes to selecting what fruit or vegetable might be a suitable sex toy. Fruit also comes in varying size, so whether you want to start small with something like a carrot and slowly increase size potentially to a courgette or cucumber there are a huge range of options; and starting with something readily available like a food object can often minimise embarrassment and allows you to experiment before investing in a sex toy that you and your partner can use time after time.

Although there are few important things to remember when using vegetables for this purpose to ensure that safety and hygiene is at the forefront of everyone’s mind, as well as your enjoyment of course. Always thoroughly wash any vegetables before use and cover with a condom before you use one yourself or with your partner. It’s important to remember that these vegetables do not have a lip on the bottom like most sex toys from stores so be careful how far you or your partner insert the fruit or vegetable.

Household objects
Making an improvised sex aid might not even require you leaving the comfort of your own home to purchase anything; many people have what they need to start initially experimenting right in front of them. From a shower head with varying settings to your washing machine or tumble drier, it just requires a little bit of imagination and you’ll start seeing things in a whole new light.

Electrical Items
Things such as your phone or a games console controller with the built in vibrate function are also perfect to use as external sex toys. The light vibrate is often just enough to tease and leave you wanting more, often leading most in to their first foray with vibrators and dildos.

So when it comes to sex toys you can always start a little closer to home, and then once you have had your first taste we have no doubt that you’ll be looking to purchase more sex toys. It’s always important to remember though that these objects are not built for this purpose and therefore do not have all of the safely features of the sex toys within our online store, safety and hygiene should always be kept in mind.

If you don’t ask you can’t find out

For many sex shops can be a very intimidating and scary place, with unusual objects and sex toys many people can become embarrassed to ask simple questions like, ‘well what do you actually use this for?’ . It’s often our embarrassment and reservations when it comes to asking for help and advice that holds us back from extending our love making activities into new realms completely, whether this be with the aid of sex toys or just exploring your partner’s body in a way that you haven’t previously.

That’s why here at Simply Pleasure we pride ourselves on creating a warm and welcoming environment leaving our customers feeling relaxed and at ease. As well as this we always ensure that we stock a vast range of products from the Basix range for beginners to something a little more extreme for those who are a bit more advanced, meaning that there is something for everyone.

Our staff our all fully trained on how each and every product we sell should be used and what pleasure points they stimulate and this is why we think the key point that people should remember when visiting a sex shop, whether this be a physical or online sex store is to ask advice!

Many first time sex toy shoppers can often be intimidated by the range of toys on the market and also the sometimes unusual looking and shaped objects. Here at Simply Pleasure we’ve had many people find themselves lost in the world of sex aids being unsure what it is they want to try and what would be the best toy for the job, but we thrive on helping people find their perfect toy, whether that be a couple looking for the perfect butt plug to ease them into anal sex or a sex swing for those who are a bit more experienced. So never forget, we’re here to help and we have the inside knowledge on everything we sell, so why not make the most of it, you’ll often find that after a few questions your adventurous side begins to come out and the embarrassment soon slips away.
