My goodness, these guys have raised over 8 million dollars for a sex toys company startup. I certainly wish these venture capitalists would talk to be about my sex toy inventions! I have a couple  of new ideas that would sell very well, and I am pretty sure they could be brought to market for under 2 million dollars. These guys have raised for than 8 million!

Granted, one of the people involved in the JimmyJane line of products has a degree in electrical engineering, and I don’t. I do however have a lot of experience in the sex toys industry, and plenty of experience in sex! Maybe we should work together on some ideas? Who knows. For now I am not overly impressed with the super expensive diamond studded dildo that they have released. I do like the shape of one of the products they have released, but I do think the price is kind of high. If you compare it to the prices of the phillips toys though, I guess it’s not that bad. Perhaps they can hold a charge for a long time and work really well, so they may make for a good investment. I will have to test one out and see.

From the article I found via Vietnews, supplied by Reuters, I am glad to see some companies talking about the financial considerations of out industry. Perhaps we will all see more investment and better products coming out to the millions who are eager for them!

A few excerpts from the article:

some 46 percent of U.S. residents have confessed to using sex toys, according to a 2004 study conducted by condom maker Durex.

Palo Alto Investors, a $1.5 billion technology-focused hedge fund has also invested. The fund describes its strategy as “Focused exclusively on overlooked, misunderstood and undervalued segments of the equity market that have significant potential for positive returns.” It invested in JimmyJane out of its Micro Cap fund.

Since its initial institutional financing round, the company has launched several new products. Its original line of toys started at $175 and included a $3,250 diamond-studded platinum vibrator.

So I found this article about some sexual ads, and they had some photos of the ads at adfreak. When I first took a look at the ads I had to wonder what the hell are these guys selling? Sure it seems kind of sexual, and even extra perverse with the use of phallic shaped fruits and vegetables, which is cool I guess, but what are they supposed to be selling?

I ended up looking closer and reading the text around the ads to find that they are supposed to be ads for a sex enhancement ring. I did some searches online for the brand name and sex enhancement ring, and all I could find was stories from mainly advertising sites talking about the ads, and I didn’t find anything about the product itself in the first 50 or so search results. SO I gave up and have drawn my own conclusion.

I am guessing this is a new cock ring of sorts. I think trojan, lifestyles and durex have all come out with types of cock rings, and perhaps this is another brand of cockring. Not 100% sure, but that’s my guess. Now I have to wonder more about these ads.

Are these going to be print ads as they are? Perhaps these are still frames from an actual ad video? That would make more sense, but I kind of doubt it. Who knows. Maybe the whole point is to draw attention to perversion without being too perverted, and spur people to look closer at the ad and then look more into the product. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find out much about the product itself, but the ads have getting plenty of online buzz.

So what are they saying? Get this amazing new cockring and you can your woman back? Keep your woman from masturbating with vegetables? Keep your girl from fucking bananas by using this new sex ring? Without this new cock ring your girl will be fucking cucumbers in the shower? Funny.

I was originally tipped off about this story from the RSS feed at adrants – love it!

A pair of 18th century wooden sex toys were sold at auction this week. It is great to see these wooden sex toys, reminding us that sex toys have been around a very long time. These toys sound crazy when you hear they are made of wood, but looking at them, you see they are quite nice. 10 inches long and eleven inches long, they are smooth and carved of rosewood. It is suggested that they are probably originally made in France. They even come with a great box to hold them.

It was hard for me to tell part of the shape at first, wondering if there was a double side g-spot nub made into one of them, but it appears that it is part of a balls sack on one. I imagine that someone probably did use both sides of it. I also wonder why they were sold as a pair? Were these made for someone with multiple wives? Or were they made for someone who was into doubler penetration sexual satisfaction in the 1700s? I wonder if a DNA test could tell if they were used for anal – lol.

Story found at the Telegraph and the Sun UK.

First there were news stories about green sex toys, and now green sex or eco friendly sex options are the current buzz. A new book coming out this month explores many options for having less of an impact on milf-mother earth.

I am sure there will be chapters about sex toys and more natural choices, as there is info about a hand crank vibrator that doesn’t use batteries. We will even hear about alternatives to the standard condoms many use, and find out about other eco-friendly sex options. This book tries to cover everything from sexual aids to accessories and even flowers.

Story is from Reuters, found on the matter network.

Seems like the whole “Make sex toy stores women friendly boutiques” thing is taking over in Canada as well. They talk about how they are making them more women friendly by adding lots of fluff to the front and putting the hardcore stuff in the back. It’s a grand concept, it makes sense, it works. I am glad to see more and more women buying sex toys and other products to enhance the intimate pleasures that life has to offer.

I am not a big fan about how articles like this seem to put down the porno shops of years past though. In the article they say something like the porn store is no longer for “Dirty old men” – well I take issue with that, sure there are dirty old men that frequent porn stores, and there are also hot young guys who shop there as well. There are plenty of hot young girls too. The main difference that these changes in lighting up the stores, changing some of the packaging and stuff does, is make it more friendly for the “Dirty old women”.

None the less, I am glad to see that the older broads are getting places that make them more comfortable about shopping for anal beads and dildos. Here is a link to the news story.

There is some good in the article, some information from an expert on sex and morality:

Still, we’re definitely not as uptight as we used to be, according to one expert on sex and morality. Women especially are at the forefront of our changing social values around the importance of a healthy, open sex life.

“Once you take up the premise that enjoying sex can be a part of a good relationship, you’re not that far from buying sex toys,” said Patricia Milano, a philosophy professor at the University of Waterloo. “There’s been a very gradual shift in thinking about these things as nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about.”

There once was a time, Milano points out, when women’s sexual aids like vibrators were considered a strictly medical area. Today, most consumers would probably prefer to get that kind of help from a sex shop than from their doctor.

I wonder how you become an expert on sex and morality – is there a special certification for that? I’d like to take the exams! Now that’s got to be a fun list of classes for that major. I wonder how the teachers handle the subject material? She says women are the ones changing the world about seuxality being more open, um, I am pretty sure that the rest of the world has been pretty open about sex for along time, it’s not that women are are changing the world, they are changing themselves. Although I guess you can world it any way you want, since women are a huge part of the world.
