Intimate Basics Line Front and Center in Lifestyle Article
In the April 21, 2011 Styles section of the NY Times, an article titled “Vibrators Carry the Conversation” features Dr. Laura Berman. The byline is “they are in the movies, online, and moving into neighborhood drugstores” and of course, CalExotics‘ celebrity doctor endorsed Intimate Basics Line of massagers is recognized as one of America’s favorite intimate toys.
“Dr. Laura Berman has been an integral part of the CalExotics success story” remarks CalExotics President & Founder, Susan Colvin. “When the doctor and our team met in the early stages of designing a line of intimate toys around her personal philosophy of trust, intimacy and fun we knew we had a perfect fit for what singles and couples were looking for. Now consumers are reacting – and the New York Times is reporting!”
Dr. Laura Berman worked with California Exotic Novelties to create a full line of outstanding pleasure products, some of which have been seen in movies (vibrating panties in “The Ugly Truth” starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler), and on a recent episode of “Private Practice” on ABC. The biggest success was when Dr. Berman was talking about sex toys on the Oprah Winfrey show, and the Aphrodite infrared massager became a star overnight.
As featured in the NY Times article, the Aphrodite Vibrator’s deluxe design features intense vibration and unique infrared heating technology in a single unit, making it a welcome addition to any couple’s sexual menu. Whether it’s soothing tired muscles at the end of a long day, or heating things up for a fun-filled night, the Aphrodite is a powerful tool for creating pleasure. Compatible with an array of alluring attachments, it’s a versatile companion for adult play.
“Dr. Berman’s line of Intimate Basics really is moving off the shelves” quips CalExotics VP/Sales, Jackie White. “People are discovering Intimate Basics for the first time by watching Oprah – or on Dr. Berman’s TV show – and it’s causing some very determined shoppers for our retailers. They are are calling, texting and emailing our retailers. ‘More, more, more’ isn’t just a phrase your partner is hearing.”
Kitten’s toys reviews L’amour Premium Silicone Beaded Probe. Semi new to the anal world, lets see how she likes it…
I’ve been wanting to expand my anal toy collection (wait. Does one lonely butt plug count as a collection?), so I said hell yes!
Using this was definitely a different experience from butt plugs! The length of the probe was definitely a new sensation… I think that this toy would be an excellent warm up for sex with a partner. I also really enjoyed using a toy vaginally with this. I did find myself grabbing a more slender dildo than one I normally use, and even with that switch, it was really tight. My orgasms were more intense than normal, and the feeling of fullness left me purring. I’m really wanting to try having this in me during vaginal sex with a partner.
I’m a big fan of this toy. The sizing was perfect for an anal n00b like myself, and I don’t think that I will be looking for any similar anal probes/beads that are larger or longer than this. For me, it’s pretty much perfect.

CalExotics Newest Discreet Massagers Reflect Metallic Trends
If you’ve ever flipped through the pages of fashion magazines in the past year, you’ve noticed a growing trend towards metallic colors in makeup and clothing. Now, the female designers at CalExotics have gone “fashion forward” with their Extreme Pure Gold line of discreet massagers.
“Extreme Pure Gold is really the result of our travels all around the world in the last months” says CalExotics President & Founder, Susan Colvin. “We are always paying close attention to the trends in not only adult toys but also in the fashion world. The Extreme Pure Gold line of massagers is sure to be a ‘must have’ this year.”
The Extreme Pure Gold line includes both the Extreme Pure Gold Mini Scoop and the Extreme Pure Gold Mini “G” personal massagers. The Mini Scoop has a curved scoop-style shape to the tip, certain to hit all the right places on the female form, while the Mini G is designed to excite the G Spot. Each Extreme Pure Gold is powered by an intense multi-speed vibration motor – all in a mini size for discreet use and storage.
“All of the Extreme Pure Gold massagers really are like precious metals” interjects CalExotics VP/Sales, Jackie White. “The best materials in platinum and gold colored shapes make them a perfect investment for the woman on the go.”
The Extreme Pure Gold Mini Scoop and the Mini G come in both platinum and gold colors with contrasting accent bands on the shaft. Perfect for travel, bedside storage or the perfect surprise in an unexpected moment.
“Our customers are really quite fashion savvy nowadays,” claims Colvin. “Our Extreme Pure Gold line is just one of the many modern collections from CalExotics… this is sure to bring rave reviews.”
It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain
“Spring is nature’s way of saying, “Let’s party!” ~Robin Williams
As the days became longer with the time change in March, our question to you is: Did your love life spring forward, too? Spring is indeed the time of the birds and the bees, when winter’s cold grasp releases its tight grip. It’s the season of renewal and reproduction. As nature is blooming, many of us also experience an awakening of our love life.
Although we humans do not have a proper mating season (as all year long seems to work for most people), we do react to the seasonal shifts. If fact, the number of unplanned pregnancies peaks during spring! This may be due to higher sperm counts in men or perhaps the excitement of shedding some of those bulky winter clothes in favor of some skimpier styles that show a little more skin.
So as the weather changes and you change with it, are you prepared for the seasonal effects? If you have been feeling a little restless, impulsive or easily distracted these days, you could be coming down with a bad case of spring fever (which can be a good thing with a little help).
Here are a few of our remedies to help you not only survive the shift from winter to spring, but to thrive as well:
1. Take care of your skin! This season is associated with greater sun exposure, so in addition to a good sunscreen with at least SPF 15, make sure to nurture your largest sexual organ: your skin! Full of nerve endings and all of those fantastic erogenous zones, doesn’t it make sense to make your skin look and feel its best this spring with some soothing moisturizer? Did you know that the Tantric Massage candles also make a great moisturizer? When heated, the candle liquefies into a warm, moisturizing massage oil that enriches the skin and enhances the touch. Choose your favorite scent or flavor. Try the Green Tea scent, which is infused with pheromones for added sex appeal!
2. Put a little spring in your step with a new toy! Have you tried any of the fantastic toys in the Vanity by Jopen line? Choose one of the many alluring shapes that are ergonomically designed for the natural contours of a woman. These rechargeable stimulators are waterproof, whisper quiet and made of premium silicone, which is unscented, non-porous, hypoallergenic and maintains/retains body heat.
3. Have a spring fling! If you are single, spring is the time to mingle. Let your friends know you are “looking” but not interested in being set up per se. Plan a fun evening with some friends and encourage each person to bring a single friend, too. This is a great way to meet someone who is likely to share some of your interests, without having all of the pressure of a blind date.
4. Plan a spring break! That’s right; fun in the sun is not just for the rowdy college kids! Plan an adult Spring Break and bring some of your favorite travel size goodies. Whether you are flying off to a secluded tropical location or just enjoying a staycation right at home, try the Waterproof Travel Kit. This mini massager is great for providing the clitoral stimulation you need and with 3 interchangeable pleasure sleeves, you can have a variety of pleasurable experiences. It will be your battery operated boyfriend while you are away, or if you are traveling as a couple, it is a great way to enhance foreplay. For added fun, also include some Edible Climax Gel along with your Travel Kit. It is a mint flavored, cool, tingly love gel. For guys traveling solo with hopes of a spring fling, bring along the Travel Jackmaster. It is a premium self-contained masturbator in a discreet travel size! Its dual-sided pleasure chamber has unique tinglers and ridges for satisfying sensations and the flexi-grip design provides controlled stroking pressure.
5. Remember to be safe! We already mentioned higher sperm counts and more unplanned pregnancies. If condoms are your choice for disease prevention and birth control, make sure to use them correctly and use some lube, too. Did you know that using lube can actually increase condom effectiveness because adequate lubrication is important to prevent condom breakage? Make sure that when you use a condom, you (or your partner) tear open the wrapper carefully (teeth or nails can damage the condom, so no need to be too dramatic if it increases your risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted infection). Place a drop or two of lubricant inside the condom. If you like, you can also put some more lubricant onto the outside of the condom once it is on. If you are having trouble choosing from the wide variety of lubes available on the market, try Universal Lube. It takes the guesswork out of buying a lubricant because it is safe for you and all of your toys (even the silicone ones!). This condom safe, long lasting, silicone based, water resistant lube also contains soothing Aloe Vera and Vitamin E.
Enjoy this beautiful season of renewal and rejuvenation. If you have any questions, please email us. We look forward to chatting with you soon!
Warmly,
Dr. Jessica and Ryan
Lucid Obsession reviews L’Amour Thumper. Check out what she had to say!
I find that overall, the Thumper is an attractive toy. It’s a very pretty purple and the shape is not intimating and the control buttons are sleek…
One of the features that I love about the Thumper is that it has a removable battery pack that holds three AAA batteries. This makes it super easy to remove your batteries while the toy is not in use but keep them handy. The control panel has three buttons; a dedicated on/off, vibration control, and rotation control. The buttons light up a very bright blue which I like and are easy to use…
The Thumper has a cute little bunny shaped arm where the vibrations are focused. The vibrations are a medium-high and a tad buzzy, but exceptionally quiet. There are three steady levels of vibration and four functions of pulsation and escalation…Overall, the l’Amour Thumper will be a good toy for many people. It has a lot of the features I look for in a toy, the shape just didn’t quite work for me.

The month of April has been designated Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) in the United States. The goal of SAAM is to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence.
The April 2011 Sexual Assault Awareness Month campaign focuses on everyone speaking up to prevent sexual violence in our neighborhoods, communities, workplaces and schools. The 2011 national Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) campaign explores common, everyday behaviors and offers individuals viable, responsible ways to intervene. This primary prevention approach helps to create environments where people are safe in their relationships, families, neighborhoods, schools, work places and communities.
This year’s SAAM brings together resources and information, thus offering everyone the opportunity to address behaviors before sexual violence occurs.
