Bringing Sex Toys Into Your Bedroom

Is it time to bring in the Sex Toys? It’s inevitable, the two of you have been having crazy sex for some time, the chemistry is nuclear but somehow, sex has become a bit of a routine lately...

Open communication between couples is absolutely vital, so one should always broach the subject of introducing some naughty adult toys into the bedroom with love. We do not recommend that you spring a vibrator on an unsuspecting lover, rather communicate first and set up some boundaries. It is believed that those who use sex toys tend to have good, open channels of communication and complete and utter love for and trust in their lovers. Sex toys are great tools through which to allow guys and girls to take their sex lives to a whole new level, allowing both to find pleasure through mutual satisfaction. It is absolutely important to keep your sex life fresh, fun and exciting.

So, it’s out with the yawn fest and in with our luxury sex toys; be they cock rings or clitoral vibrators, with these beauties in hand; you’re going to set the bedroom on fire!

So what’s the deal with erotic toys and why do you need them?

It’s been said that couples who indulge in a bit of erotic toy play perform better beneath the covers. Teasing a woman’s clitoris with a vibrator during oral sex will give her an orgasm that will have her clenching her thighs together in memory long after the pleasure was all hers! And the same can be said for our men. Teasing a man’s anus or testicles with the same vibrator during oral sex will leave him in absolute raptures! With so many sex toys available, from cock rings, specialist male sex toys, female sex toys and clitoral vibrators, there is no excuse for play time to ever become dull. The only way you’re ever going to know what knocks off your socks, is for you to try!




There is also an added benefit to dabbling with sex toys... they allow for extended lovemaking!
Now we know that women are lucky minxes in that they can have multiple orgasms during sex and men unfortunately cannot. Hence, when Mr Man reaches absolute orgasm his erect penis takes a bit of a leave of absence and it is here that a sex toy can keep his woman moaning for so much longer while his body recovers from sheer bliss. That said, there is absolutely no harm in allowing a woman to reach orgasm with the use of a sex toy first, and then sliding in for a bit of bliss timeshare yourself. It’s all about sharing the love!


Okay, so how do you go about this sex toy business?

We suggest that you start off with the little saucy gadgets you can use together. Cock rings, clitoral massages or vibrators and a pair of handcuffs, thrown in for good measure, can really getting things nice and toasty! Massage oils, creams and lubricants come in handy when you’re simmering up the sexual heat. (Lube is fantastic to partner up with some sex toys!) When you are both ready to get electronic, experiment with vibrators, the ideal couple’s toy. Listen to your man, if he is adventurous and wants to try out some male toys, why not get him some anal beads, butt plugs or a vibrating cock ring?



Have we tweaked your interest? Don’t be shy now, just browse through Matilda’s extensive range of couple’s sex toys with your special someone and we know we’ll get you both perky in no time!

The Lowdown On Lube

When your mind is in the gutter but your body just doesn’t seem to be on the same street, it’s time to break out the lube! Lubricants are Matilda’s gift to getting things wetter, saucier and just downright pleasurable! Toyfluid is one of the best you could possibly find. There are a myriad of sex lubes on the market, we stock products which will warm you up, get your nethers tingling and your tongue relishing the taste of something sweet and tempting.

There will be times when you just can’t seem to get wet enough for some raunchy penetration and this is mostly due to stress, medication and birth control pills. Adding lube to the situation turns your body around and before you know it, you will be well on your way to heaven. Lubricants do more than just get things wetter; they can be stimulating through taste (flavoured lubricants) and feel (warming and tingling) and will certainly enhance your play time. As we’ve preached before, anal lube is an absolute essential when it comes to anal play. These are available as a lubricant and anal sprays. The wetter, the better!

It’s imperative to note that lubes aren’t just great for an incredible sack race; lubes prevent dryness and chafing and water based lubes will reduce any chance of condom breakage. For those of you, who aren’t great fans of oral sex, try out the flavoured lubes for a bit of encouragement. These are available in cherry, pina-colada, chocolate and virtually every other fruity cocktail imaginable!



Oil, silicone and water based lubricants

Lubes are generally made of silicone, oil, petroleum and or water, the latter being the most common. We recommend that you leave your cooking (olive oils, whipped cream etc) and beauty products (lotions and potions) out of the “home grown lube” equation and that you rather stick to a product designed exclusively for sex!

The A-Z of Lube

Oil:
Unless it’s a STI or an unplanned pregnancy you’re after, we suggest that you steer clear of oil based products which will degrade latex condoms. Oil based products usually include Vaseline, various oils as well as hand and body creams. For men, oil based lubes are a viable masturbation or massage choice. Women however, would do best to avoid oil based lubes during sex as the oils can create an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, which extends to the surface of your sex toys. This is attributed to the fact that it is a little tricky to wash oil lube away.

Silicone
Ideal for some naughty behaviour in the spa bath or shower, silicone based lubes are absolutely ideal for some aqua-sex! As with oil lube, we recommend that our ladies be careful, but do note that unlike the oil based lube, silicone will not degrade a condom making it a much safer. Silicone based lubes are also fantastic for those who may suffer with glycerine allergies.

Water:
Sold just about anywhere, water based lubes have become the most popular choice. Hugely beneficial to note is that water based lubes will not degrade condoms, is super easy to wash off and will not stain those satin sheets!

For all your lusciuos lube longings be sure to check out Matilda's lotions and potions.

Anal Play From The Bottom Up

For new comers to anal play we know it can seem a bit daunting, but remember that with some delightful anal toys in hand, you will experience such erogenous delights that you simply won’t look back! It’s time to get to know your bottom much better.

The Romans knew it 2000 years ago and now it's your turn ! Bottoms Up we say ...

There are some really great anal toys available for both girls and guys and Matilda’s stocks the greatest products for anal stimulation.

There are great techniques to get you ready for anal penetration. Begin by relaxing your anus muscles whilst having an invigorating shower or a long warm bath. Relax, put some mood music on and take your time getting to know this unfamiliar territory.

For spectacular anal stimulation place some lube, such as Toy Fluid or Analyse Me on your finger and gently caress the opening of your anus. Then, slowly and gently, insert your finger inside your anus rubbing and clenching your anal muscles. This will help you to adjust to this new erotic sensation. Once you are comfortable with these new feelings you can begin playing with a great variety of anal toys designed just for beginners.

Communication is absolutely vital when it comes down to anal play. Talk to your partner about how you feel during anal sex and do remember to take it slowly. The rectum is a sensitive region with delicate tissue that can be easily torn. Keep plenty of lube on hand to ensure a comfortable and safe experience. We recommend that you start off with a small butt plug or an anal dildo, and be sure to only use safe anal toys made from high quality rubber or silicone– plenty of lube and high quality toys are the key to a fun and satisfying sex life.

Lube is absolutely essential when it comes to anal sex/play! Always use plenty and you will be certain of a pleasurable experience.

Matilda’s offers some fabulously naughty anal dildos, anal vibrators, anal beads and butt plugs to work on your newly discovered erogenous zone.

Anal Toys from Matilda’s:

Many anal sex toys are designed for first time bum toy users.

Whatever your delight, remember that Matilda’s stocks the perfect Love Your Bum Toy and a great selection of lubes to see you well on your way to some exceptional anal play.

CORSETS & BUSTIERS KNOW YOUR B’S FROM YOUR C’S.

Our modern day Cinderella is getting all dressed to the nines with operation “Prince Seduction” in her sights. But she is at a bit of a loss, for she has two draw dropping secret agents from which to choose, a slinky silky bustier or a lace up, black corset. Enter fairy godmother, her name of course, Matilda! Now Matilda the fairy godmother is quite an ace when it comes to some saucy advice so, to try help out our damsel in sexual distress, she offers up some insider information so that dear Cinders can make an educated and effective sexy lingerie decision…

Remember your B’s – Bountiful Breasts Behold the Bustier!


Bustiers; these undercover lingerie agents are all for taking your breasts to new heights – literally. Whether worn as a bustier top or as an undercover bosom builder, bustiers are figure forming garments which push up your breasts creating the sort of cleavage that will render men helpless – they just won’t be able to tear away their eyes! Remember that bustiers were made with breasts in mind, so don’t expect much in the waist reduction department. Style and fabric dependent, bustiers can also be worn as a sexy top – with superb cup definition, your breasts will be the best dressed in town. Add some thigh high silk stockings, a gorgeous garter belt and you’re on the road to immediate seduction.

Don’t Forget Your C’s – Curvy, Classic Corsets



Too fabulous for words, corsets are great for getting that sexy hourglass figure, the svelte silhouette which makes men weak at the knees. Although corsets are not known for their outstanding comfort, they do offer the sort of results that will make you happy to shrug off the possibility of a little discomfort. Corsets define and cinch in the waist, sometimes reducing the appearance of the waistline by as much as two inches! Now that’s nothing to dismiss! What’s more, the corset bra was designed to push up the bust creating a deeper cleavage, but unlike the bustier isn’t known for superior cup definition. Sturdier than bustiers, corsets will tuck you into an elegant and classically curvaceous figure.

Regardless of whether you’re a dominatrix looking for an under bust corset or corset brassiere, or a hopeless romantic after a vintage lace-up or a classic corset top or even a new bride with an eye for a bridal corset to turn up the heat on her wedding night, you can be sure there is a corset out there with your name on it.

It goes without saying that Matilda’s stocks the very best in both bustiers and corsets in her luxury lingerie boudoir, so stop on by and get yourself a little lace something to get those boys feeling more than just a little perky.

Lingerie Weapons of Mass Seduction

The Lingerie Diaries

It’s Friday evening and Jane heads to the bar to order a martini. Shaken, not stirred. As she leans onto the edge of a cocktail chair, her skirt rides ever so slightly to reveal a classy suspender and every man that watched her enter the room has to catch his breath. Call them weapons of mass seduction, sexy lingerie act as secret agents which feed on men. Move over Bond, tonight, it’s all about Bustier, Jane Bustier. And all she wants is conversation... and by conversation, she means pillow talk.

For centuries women shimmied their way into garments that reflected the fashion trends of the time. Lingerie designers have left a remarkable legacy; many of the original concepts continue to inspire modern designers. In the twenties, it was very en vogue to have a flat chest – the perfect form on which to model the seductive chemise. The forties arrived and it was all bustiers, suspenders, garter belts and seamed silk stockings – the sex sirens were coming to town!

The Merry Widow Corset came into play a decade later, designed to plump up the cleavage and tuck in the waist, this particular corset comprised of more metal than a modern day one man tent. Take a leap into the future and Madonna wails on stage about being a virgin and has seemingly strapped two ice cream cones to her chest. The latter trend didn’t stick around very long and for his we are eternally grateful. Sexy lingerie has certainly evolved and now women have access to an incredible range of creations to distract and seduce.

The Return of Retro Lingerie

Defeated, Bond invites our seductive agent Jane Bustier to hang back in the cigar lounge and enjoy a few more martinis. Leather couches and retro styled decor reveals our Jane slightly dishevelled, her captivating cleavage spilling out from what he is sure is a satin and lace corset...? Bond swallows hard... All he can think about is her silky skin.



Burlesque and fifties sex siren, pin up lingerie has inspired a new generation to nostalgically embrace an era of romanticism and dramatics. Made increasingly popular by the likes of Dita Von Teese, followed in hot and steamy pursuit by Xtina and then Eva Mendes, a fresh new retro style of lingerie has taken hold, celebrating sexy and feminine women who are in control of their sexuality.

Matilda’s offers our hot romantics everything they need to sate burlesque desires, from corsets, camisoles, garters and garter belts to suspenders and bustiers. Live your fantasy and take the show home!

Regardless of the fetish, Matilda’s will equip you with all the lingerie you need to raise temperatures, hold interest and allow you to do what you do best... seduce.

Is that a club or a caveman holding a dildo?

Fortunately, no rocket scientist was required to affirm that our brothers, who hung out in their rocky possé were in fact the trendsetters in sex toys. In fact, sex toys for men have been traced as far back as 25 000bc. Even our cavemen cousins realised the importance of solo sex to liven up a cold cave, where the only chance of a romantic encounter was as unlikely as a wheel rolling past their doorway.

Yes, loin cloths, fleas, smelly cave fires and unshaven men (and women) created the impetuous for some “huba huba” with a funny looking twig and voila, held aloft in the afterglow of the dinosaur’s demise, the dildo came into being. We can’t say we blame them, times were tough and not everyone was talented enough to spend their nights painting prehistoric porn on the wall.

Yes boys and girls, turn to page 69 of your history books and there, you will discover that it was in fact the Greeks who created the legend of the Olisbo - the first sexy stocking filler for randy damsels who were waiting for their men to come back from a ravaging quest. Requiring excessive amounts of olive oil for lubrication, these toys fashioned from stone, leather and or wood brought these bath house locals (male and female alike) some welcome relief!

But seriously now, when did the boys get their big break with sex toys?

Ah enter the Karma Sutra! In 350BC some clever Mohammed presented a penis extender to a crowd who gasped in wondrous rapture at this curious device made from wood, leather and cow horn, blinged to the hilt with silver and gold.

Craftsmen of the past knew the benefit of using high quality materials in sculpting sensual sex toys. Today more than ever the shape, material and design of sex toys is almost crucial as the effect.

Someone then took a jog in an easterly direction and whispered something naughty in a Chinese man’s ear and being the pioneers of technology that they are, they rushed to their work benches and created the very sneaky cock ring from the eyelid of a goat with long sultry lashes (for extra effect understand).

Gives new meaning to the term Bedroom Eyes

Then someone who decided to take a gap year, got in a boat and found them selves in England, handing out anal plugs at the fairs to men who believed it would provide them with the restraint needed to stop going about wastefully ejaculating on the milk maids. It was completely by accident (so we are told), that it was discovered that anal plugs were quite nice really, and so the young man who took the gap year, got creative with his designs.

With a hop, skip and jump into the 21st century males around the planet can breathe a collective sigh of relief knowing that erotic sex toys are now bountifully available at Matilda's Lifestyle so there is no need for this intercontinental rushing about in order to get your hands on silicone cock rings, glass dildos, penis extenders, anal toys or any other male sex toys that catch your fancy. Thank ye gods!
