Strap-Ons are Hot!

One of our hottest selling Valentine items surprised even me.  We've all seen trends come and go. Fifty Shades of Grey made bondage acceptable and cool.  Anal play has been coming into its own.  And I'll never forget the year of the ball-gag Christmas.  We literally sold out of every ball gag we had in stock - for Christmas!  Go figure!

But this Valentine's day, there was one consistent seller that crossed all lines.  It was bought by women for men, by men for women, by women for women and by men for men.  It was not sold to just older buyers but to younger buyers.  What was the must-have item on February 14?  A strap-on harness, of course!

If you're not familiar with the phenomenon, let us explain.  A strap-on dildo is designed to be worn by both men and women to provide penetration both vaginally and anally. At Fantasy Gifts, you can purchase a set, with the strap and dildo sold together, such as the Lucid Dream Vac-u-Lock Harness and Dong No. 9, or just a strap alone, such as
 Sportsheets Bare as You Dare Harness.
Strap-ons are used for a variety of reasons.  A heterosexual couple can use a strap-on harness and dildo to prolong sex.  If the man wears the strap-on he can penetrate a woman vaginally without using his penis.  He can also have his hands free to receive stimulation from either a vibrator or his partner.  He can also use a strap-on harness that provides prostate stimulation.

For men suffering from erectile dysfunction, a hollow strap-on such as the Fetish Fantasy Vibrating 7" Hollow Strap On  is a great option.  There's a non-vibrating option too in the  Fetish Fantasy Elite 7" Hollow Strap-On.

Pegging is a popular form of anal play.  Pegging is when a woman penetrates her partner anally.  This term usually applies to women who peg men in order for the man to receive prostate stimulation.  The Sportsheets New Cummers Strap-On Kit is consistently one of our best-sellers.  The slim 5" dildo is perfect for beginners.

For women-to-women sex, women can choose to penetrate their partner either anally or vaginally by using a strap-on harness and dildo system.  The Pipedream Fantasy Fetish Elite Series comes in either pretty pink or passionate purple and is available in sizes from 4.5" insertable length to 7" insertable length.  You also have the option of a vibrating or non-vibrating dildo.  

Sportsheets Menage a Trois for Two features a double penetration harness and dildo set designed for even penetration.  

You also have the option of purchasing a strap-on harness alone.  At Fantasy Gifts we carry a number of strap-on harnesses, but our latest addition has been the Fetish Fantasy Elite Series from Pipedream Products.  These products are available in three styles: the Fetish Fantasy Elite Universal Beginners Harness, the Fetish Fantasy Elite Universal Breathable Harness and the Fetish Fantasy Elite Univeral Heavy Duty Harness.  Whether you are just beginning to experiment with strap-ons or you need something to withstand rugged, extreme play, the Pipedream Fetish Fantasy Elite Series has a strap-on for you.  Best of all, there is fully compatible line of silicone dildos so you never have to worry about achieving the perfect fit!

If you are interested in trying a strap-on, stop by any Fantasy Gifts store and speak to one of our knowledgeable sales staff.  They will be happy to assist you in choosing the right size and type of strap-on harness for you and your partner.

Help for Erectile Dysfunction & Other Problems

A new study finds that the erectile-dysfunction drug Cialis can help other little-discussed male sexual problems, too.  It turns out that while you're in separate tubs (how sexy is that?), a new study has found that found that men with erectile or prostate difficulties who took Cialis also had improvements in their problems with ejaculating and achieving orgasm, even when their erectile dysfunction was minor.

As men age, they can become affected by slower or non-existent ejaculation.  Unfortunately, many insurance companies are no longer providing coverage or have limited coverage for erectile-dysfunction.  Viagra can cost between $35.00 - $65.00 a pill.  So what's a hot-blooded male to do?

First, stop into any Fantasy Gifts store.  Our employees are trained to deal with any questions you might have.  We've heard everything, so there's no way to embarrass or shock us.  But we can help you with everything from problems with your prostate to an inability to take pharmaceuticals.

If you are looking for a magic pill, we suggest Stiff 4 Hours.  Stiff 4 Hours is a culmination of several years of research, which resulted in the development of a product for men that improves their sexual experiences. The aim was to reduce the number of negative side effects that are often accompanied with prescription medicine male enhancers.  As with any OTC drugs, please check with your physician before taking.

For a drug-free approach, the answer may be as simple as an erection enhancer.  An erection enhancer constricts the blood flow to the penis resulting in a longer and stronger erection.

A penis pump is a cylinder that is fitted over the penis, with a manual or motorized pump to create a partial vacuum around the penis, engorging it as blood is drawn in. As vacuum increases, the pressure within the blood vessels of the penis increases as well; excessive vacuum causes vascular damage.

Penis pumps may be used to temporarily overcome symptoms of impotence, but do not cure the condition: a tourniquet-like ring must be applied to keep the blood trapped within the penis, otherwise the erection will immediately subside. Pumps may work even if there is nerve or vascular damage preventing a natural erection, but excessive or prolonged use (hours) will cause permanent harm.

Pumping must be done very carefully to avoid serious injury: over-enthusiastic pumping can burst blood vessels and form blisters.

Joseph Harryhill, a University of Pennsylvania urologist who treats many men with sexual problems, said the onslaught of drug-company advertising may have made men more comfortable talking about erectile dysfunction, but they still find it embarrassing to discuss ejaculation and orgasm.  And while many men have no problem achieving an erection, they still find it difficult to climax.  Women also may feel threatened by their man's inability to climax, wrongly feeling that it their fault and they are not attractive enough.  Any man who cannot achieve climax in under 30 minutes should seek medical help.  But know there are many resources at your disposal - don't be afraid to ask!
