Thank you all for participating in my blog anniversary giveaway. The turnout was astounding and I will have more thoughts to share once I post my winner announcement. Unfortunately, that will have to wait as I am currently on vacation and opted not to bring my laptop. I thought there would be a bit more of a buffer between the end of this giveaway and my travel.
You can look forward to that announcement and winner notifications toward the end of this month. Thanks for your patience.
AKA Get your sex toys and books here!
I don’t always host blog anniversary giveaways or start sentences like a meme (although, you will be able to get extra entries if your meme-minded). But I figured that 10 years is a big’un. So I posted 5000+ words about my experience as a sex blogger. Then I got to work contacting companies to see who might like to sponsor some prizes to my wonderful readers.
I’d like to thank all my sponsors: Vibrant, Stockroom, Ayzad, GoodVibes, Screaming O, SheVibe, PinkCherry, PeepShow Toys, Split Peaches, Cleis Press, Lovehoney, Babeland and Simon and Schuster. All these wonderful companies have made this giveaway possible.
Like many bloggers, I am providing you with some of my more cherished toys that I’ve reviewed over the years. I was so excited to provide my readers with a chance to win Split Peaches’ Unicorn dildo, not just because it’s novel but because I love it. Stockroom provided me with a bed restraint system; I’ve loved mine for years. Thanks to them, I’ve also got a Neon Wand to give away.
You’ll see that I’ve also included a number of books. I’m increasingly focusing on the science of sex (so much so that I have a feature dedicated to it) and reviewing more books. I’m sure that my readers want to get their hands on some of these titles, and I am thrilled to be able to give away Come As You Are and Tell Me What You Want, among others (some of which are still waiting me to write a review).
I’d like to take a moment to lament over the number of toys that I wasn’t able to include because they no longer exist (the toy and, in some cases, the company). Phallix and Fucking Sculptures are defunct. Fun Factory no longer makes the Twist. I enjoyed the Ceramix line by Pipedream, but that no longer exists. We’ve got very few companies hand-blowing quality glass pieces, and that’s a shame.
It’s not just glass, however. Some of my favorite vibrators can no longer be found. I’m talking about Fun Factory’s Yooo, the Tuyo, the Faerie by Tantus. The list reads like a scavenger hunt of long-forgotten sex toys, and it continues to grow.
But let’s focus on positives. Many companies have agreed to sponsor prizes for this giveaway, and I know you’re curious what they are!
I’ve broken down toys by location. Pay attention when you’re entering. If you are not eligible for a prize, it will invalidate your entry. Any caveats are in parenthesis.
Toys cannot be shipped to countries where they are illegal.
The following books are all shipping from me directly so will ship via Media Mail
Now if you’ve read this far and you’re excited about the options, hold on to your strap-ons, folks. Because they just might be more to come.
I am switching things up with this giveaway. After all, it’s been ten years. It’s time! There will be plenty of the usual entry options, and the only mandatory entry is free.
Design Your Own Entry – This entry allows you to pick your own entry that explains why you should win. You can write a haiku, take a photo, make some art, bake a cake. The winner of this will get to choose three prizes.
Question of the Day – Every day, I will post a question on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook. Answer the question in any of those places. This entry requires you to paste the link of your entry into the Gleam form. You can come back every day to answer. The question will remain on my socials if you want to answer for fun. I will attempt to schedule questions at the same time every day.
These entries are designed to encourage engagement, to build bonds, to start a conversation. While I don’t instate word minimums or anything like that, I appreciate thoughtful responses.
I am willing to forgive one mistake but will remove all entries from any person who repeatedly breaks the rules.
I will choose at least 10 winners, which meand some people will have a chance at multiple prizes.

10-Year Anniversary Giveaway (Multiple Prizes + Winners)
This giveaway runs until August 21st.
The final item that I am giving away in this series of giveaways (that I have been less than successful in posting in a timely manner d=) is the Liberator Jaz! I have included it in my giveaway, not because it tastes sweet (I mean, you can lick if you want..) but because it’s a pretty sweet prize, even if I don’t normally use the word in that manner. This is on of Liberator’s memory foam pillows and is one of the smaller Liberator pieces. Small but no less awesome, I assure you. I have one, in my closet, waiting to be played with.
Want sex that never goes flat? Practice improvisation and create perfect harmony with your soul mate. With the travel-sized Jaz, you’ll hone your technique and never play the same song twice. This smooth bolster pillow, made from furniture grade foam, is small enough to take with you on tour for the best sex the road has to offer!
Machine washable microsuede covers (not designed to interlock with other Liberator Shapes) with moisture-proof interior liners that protect the foam inside. Jaz dimensions: 18″ x 14.5″ x 6″. Cherry red. All Liberator products are made with love in the USA and come with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Tabu Toys will ship a Liberator Jaz position pillow to any winner in the continental United States.

Although, my current deodorant does smell pretty awesome, I’m betting you’ll all much prefer this vanilla scented massage candle. The Ono Massage Candle is guaranteed to be better than Yoko Ono. Actually, no one but me has ever said that but it sounds good, right?
ONO’s hand-poured massage candles are made from all-natural ingredients to form a nourishing emollient for the skin. When lit, the wax melts into a moisturizing massage oil that leaves your skin soft, smooth, and lightly scented. Rich in all of the vitamins your skin needs, ONO massage candles are made of soy wax, shea butter, and apricot kernel oil. With different fragrances that suit a variety of moments and moods, they make the perfect addition to a romantic evening in.
The soothing, centering fragrance of French vanilla is combined with the restorative properties of shea butter, resulting in a sinfully sweet massage experience.
This candle, with its lovely design, is available to residents of the continental US and Canada (sorry, Hawaii, Alaska!), courtesy of Fascinations. Leave individual comments for each of your entries below.

and so is giving it up. I was immediately drawn when I saw the Sweet Lips Candy Ball Gag. Nevertheless, I really have no use for it and, because my mouth is so small, wouldn’t have much luck with it to begin with. So, I figured you, my visitors, might want to try your hand at winning it. Whether you want to incorporate it into BDSM or you simply don’t have enough hands to play and enjoy your candy, the candy ball gag is functional and, quite literally, sweet.
Your sweet dreams are about to come true! The Sweet Lips Ball Gag is an unusual twist to BDSM gag play. Sweet Lips features an adjustable strap threaded through a giant Jawbreaker candy where a rubber or silicone ball would usually be. The jawbreaker will dissolve slowly over time, but the memory of your sensate adventures are sure to linger! Designed with the advanced user in mind, this item carries additional product and safety information that should be read carefully and observed at all times, but with proper use, this gag adds a unique element to your BDSM and fantasy play. The Sweet Lips Ball Gag–candy may be dandy, but this sweet treat has bite!
Good Vibrations Sex Toys will ship the candy ball gag to one lucky winner in the United States. Leave your individual entries in separate comments, please. You do not need to list your e-mail in the comment text.
This giveaway will end on April 1st.
Remember, Good Vibes has a frequently updated online magazine for your viewing pleasure and information.

Am I glad that I reached out to the folks over at RubyGlass21 asking them if they would like to be included in this giveaway! Not only did I receive a prompt response, but it was positive and kind! Of course, the winner of this giveaway will probably be even more thrilled because her or she (or you!) will walk away with a Pink SweetHeart Glass Dildo.
The sexy concept for the Pink SweetHeart was sophistication meets fun. The lovely solid red hearts on the light pink glass toy is playful and sexy. The head is smooth and rounded that goes into the flawless shaft that has the g-spot curve for extended fun. The hearts add 1/6 inch to the 1 inch diameter. All is finished off with the flared base for free standing. The entire toy is 7 inches in length. Each RubyGlass21 toy is made from the highest quality Pyrex glass; which is the only type of glass that has been proven safe to use internally. Every piece goes under quality control testing to prove that we are the top rated glass sex toy manufacturer in the world. Made only in the USA.
I have always enjoyed glass. It provides such firm and consistent stimulation and the rigidity makes it incredibly easy to feel even the lightest of textures. The red hearts on this specific piece are both sweet and playful. Not only that, but RubyGlass21 is a small, American-based company devoted to making erotic pieces of art. Because each piece is hand blown, they are truly unique. Plus, they’re woman owned. And green!
You can win the Pink Sweetheart Dildo by leaving your individual entries in separate comments, please. You do not need to list your e-mail in the comment text.
This giveaway is open to visitors the world over (except for countries where sex toys are illegal such as Iraq) and will close on March 31 and RubyGlass21 will ship the dildo directly to the winner via USPS First Class mail.

A friend who’ll tease is better.
And you can have your very own teasing Seti Toyfriend if you enter this giveaway.
Babeland describes the Toyfriends with the following:
Bright and modern, powerful and affordable — the silicone Toyfriend toys are a force to be reckoned with. This group of fun vibes, designed primarily for clitoral stimulation, come in four delightful shapes: Bubbly Magenta (graduated “bubbles” for added stimulation), Coney Rabbit (rabbit ears to hug the clit), Nosy Yellow (the curve makes for easy reach), and Seti Blue (focused, pinpoint vibration). Each fully waterproof model offers two vibration speeds and three pulsation modes, so you’ll never be bored. Enjoy the newest generation of user-friendly, cheekily designed vibrators!
I have chosen to giveaway this specific item because of Epiphora’s glowing review (read it here). It’s unique shape is more than a little reminiscent of satellites or UFOs and the bright color is a nice change of pace from typical pink and purple vibrators.
I’m doing things a bit differently this time, however. To win this toy, so graciously provided by Babeland you must be a U.S. resident and write up a Twitter post advertising this giveaway. The post has to fit within Twitter’s 140-character limit and include a link back to this post. you should make it as creative as you can. Sexy, funny and witty are all encouraged!
Post a comment with a link to your Twitter update and count yourself entered. Subsequent posts will not count toward your entries, however; I will be picking the most creative of the updates as the winner.
Does this mean that you can enter more than once? Absolutely. Design two or three or more statuses and, as log as they fill the requirements, they all count.
For the post links, you can use a full link, the following shortened link or shorten one of your own:
Feel free to include @adriana_r in your status so I can see what you’re saying (optional).
This giveaway will enter in one week.
