Since I’m trying–and succeeding?–at blogging more actively, I’m also trying to develop and strengthen connections in my network, especially when social media has become such a shit show. My efforts include submitting to Elust (when I remember 🙃).

Elust is the only place where the smartest and hottest sex bloggers are featured under one roof every month. Whether you’re looking for sex journalism, erotic writing, relationship advice, or kinky discussions, it’ll be at Elust.

So far, I think I’ve only submitted reviews, and I’ll continue to do that as I catch up on past reviews and, hopefully, find a routine for posting regularly. However, you know I’ve got my fair share of opinions and articles, which I hope to (remember to) submit!

Aside from growing my readership, Elust is a great place to see what others are writing and find your next follow, so please do these folks a favor and give them a click and read!

Consumers

Whether it’s your first and you have no idea which direction to go in or it’s your fiftieth and you want to know if a specific toy will work for you, reviews are helpful. Hands-on descriptions of sex toys and similar items are so important and can help you determine if a toy is for you or not. Plus, reviewers can include photos and images that give more detail and show things in reality, unlike planned publicity photos with expensive cameras, photoshopping, and extensive lighting.

Sexy toy haters

One of the things I’ve learned about sex toys and sex toy reviewers from reading reviews is that we are normal people. We are your neighbor, teachers, boss, or friend. Sure, some people have kinks that are further out, and others lead alternative lifestyles. However, this doesn’t make them any more devious than you are with whatever secrets you surely have. Enjoying sex toys is a healthy and normal thing, and analyzing them with reviews shows how they are similar to every other consumer product.

Retailers

Retailers who pay attention to what they sell and have guidelines about what they don’t sell can benefit from reading reviews. If you simply want to know whether a product is truly luxurious or whether your consumer demographic would actually purchase a toy, read some reviews. Debating a new line to carry, check out some reviews. Want a unique angle for pitching toys to customers? I think you see where I’m going with this.

Sex toy manufacturers

This one is a given, but many times, I feel like the creators don’t listen to me, even if they’re the ones sending me toys. I’m not telling you to pull a toy from the shelves, but if you do (I’m talking to you Papaya Toys!), I respect that you respect me and are listening. Maybe you’re not going to go that far, but you’re going to release newer, better versions of your toys, like SI did with the WeVibe, and reviews are going to show you room for improvement. I don’t think I’m alone when I say that you can pump out hundreds or thousands of products, but if you keep making the same cheap toys and the same mistakes, we’re going to buy from other manufacturers.

(Potential) reviewers

One of the awesome things about sex toy reviewers, is we’ve really developed a standard, unlike a lot of product industries. Reading reviews is one of the best ways to learn what other people want to know because we tend to write about the things we would want to know when we read reviews. Reading reviews can help you develop your voice, strengthen your writing skills, and even make friends.

So I guess I better let you get back to reading my reviews, eh?

]]> My first free toy was an egg from Bswish and it was surprisingly powerful. While the newer additions to their line up are just as attractive (cute, even!), they do seem to lack the strength which is sad. Plus, my Curve won’t relinquish smells it picked up for only one use which is a little disappointing. Still, for some people, it would be the B’s knees.

]]> I really wanted to like Bcurious and, truthfully, I love the design, the quality, the ease of use and the pretty lights. I love that it’s so quiet, waterproof and although it’s not designed for the broad side to be used, it could be. And I would if only the vibrations were stronger and deeper. After only a few moments, my clit couldn’t feel a damned thing and was barely aroused. In fact, I personally feel that it has no more than 1 “Vroom” but I suspect others would disagree so marked it as 2 to be extra fair.

For $80, I better be getting off. It’s really a waste of design and craftsmanship.
