Check Out These Amazing Reviews!

Filed under: Book News — Charlie @ 2:28 pm

Its always a pleasure to hear from folks about our book and how much they’ve enjoyed reading it. Here are some of the highlights from our Amazon page.

“I’m not exactly a novice when it comes to sex, and I have to admit that when I began flipping through this manual, I expected to see things that I already knew. I was pleasantly surprised to find a whole wealth of information, including helpful (and tasteful) illustrations. I LOVE that it includes chapters on the social and psychological elements of prostate play, like gender roles and what it means for a man to be penetrated in our society.” (link)

“This superb guide combines the friendliness of a good buddy with the savvy knowledge of a top-notch sex educator, explaining the in’s and out’s, how’s and why’s, of prostate pleasure, including answering those questions you thought you couldn’t ask anybody. Whatever you want to know about the pleasures and the how-to’s of prostate stimulation, it’s in this book.” (link)

“I have been exploring prostate play for many years. I’m a queer man, and prior to reading, I was expecting to know all about this little area of my sexuality. Instead, I found that while reading this book, I was continually saying, “oh, that makes sense, I’ve never thought about that before…” “(link)

“Really appreciated this book, felt like talking to a really knowledgeable friend who knew stuff.. Approachable, answered my questions and worries/concerns, super recommended by a newbie!” (link)

“While I appreciate this book for all the wisdom in imparts I love this book for HOW it imparts that wisdom. It is a pleasure to read! The language does get clinical when the subject matter calls for it but overall the tone is casual, relaxed, friendly. By simply approaching this topic in this manner, Charlie Glickman and Aislinn Emirzian are taking big steps to help folks escape the “man box” and explore without fear.” (link)

A Big Thanks To Our Amazing Sponsors

Filed under: Book News,Toy Reviews — Tags: toy review — Charlie @ 9:45 am

We’re really excited to get the word out about prostate play and we couldn’t do it without our fantastic sponsors. They’re as dedicated as we are to helping you have the best sex possible and they make some of the best toys and other products for prostate pleasure and pegging. Working with them is truly an honor.

Aneros is the original maker of the hands-free prostate massage toy. Originally designed as a medical device for men who had certain prostate health issues, their product was quickly discovered to provide intense pleasure that nothing else had done before. The MGX Classic is a perfect one to start with. And if you’re ready to ramp up, try the Vice or the Helix Syn. Whether you use them solo or with a partner, they’ll give you a ride you won’t forget!

If you’re looking for the best sex toys around and amazing information about sex and pleasure, go to Good Vibrations. I had the honor to work there for over 16 years and I have to say- these people know what they’re talking about. Whether you visit the store, call their customer service folks, or explore the website, you can be sure that you’re getting the answers you need and the products you want. And of course, you can get all the goodies that make prostate play lots of fun: lubricants, dildos, strap-on harnesses, sex position pillows, and of course, our book. (It’ll be on their site soon.)

Good Vibrations defined what sex-positive toy companies do and they continue to pave the way. So when you’re looking for something to make sex hot, make them your go-to source. And remember- Valentine’s Day is coming up!

If there’s one thing that everyone needs for anal play, it’s a high quality lubricant. Finding the right one can take a little experimentation, since everyone’s a bit different, but trust me- it’ll make your prostate play a lot more fun. A lot of people like silicone lubes because they’re so slippery and long-lasting. Wet Platinum is a great one to try. If you want something with a bit more cushioning, try Wet Uranus, available in silicone and water-based formulas. Or give Synergy a try. Part silicone for extra slipperiness, and part water-based for easy cleanup. It’s the best of both worlds!

If pegging is in your plans, you’ll want a dildo from Vixen Creations. They come in lots of sizes, shapes, and colors and since they’re made from body-safe silicone, they’re hypoallergenic, non-porous, and easy to clean. Just wash with soap and water and you’re good to go. Want to bump it up a notch? After washing it, put it in boiling water for five minutes or the top rack of a dishwasher. And if you want a super-realistic toy, check out their VixSkin products. They have a firmer core and a softer surface layer to give that real-as-life feel. No other dildo comes close!

Of course, you’ll also want a harness for your pegging fun and nobody makes them as sexy as SpareParts HardWear! Unlike some of the more utilitarian harnesses, these are as gorgeous as they are functional. The Joque gives you amazing control when you play. The Sasha Couture brings a sexy femme look to your strap-on fun. And the Tomboi Brief is incredibly comfortable, with a pull-on design to make you look suave and sleek. The attention to detail makes it clear that the folks at SpareParts know what they’re doing. Their harnesses are amazing and will make you feel as sexy as you look.

Whether you’re new to prostate fun or you’re an aficionado, get the most out of your adventures with these toys. They’re sure to put a big smile on your face!

We Had a Great Time At Our Launch Party At Good Vibrations!

Filed under: Book News,Workshops & Appearances — Tags: announcements, events, tour — Charlie @ 12:38 pm

Our book launch at Good Vibrations last night was a perfect way to get our tour off to a great start! We had over 40 people show up, which just goes to show how much prostate play is getting folks as excited as we are about it.

Aislinn & I started off talking about the book, sharing some stories about her inspiration to create it and how we ended up working together. We had plenty of fun anecdotes from our surveys and interviews, including some surprising discoveries. And of course, we had plenty to say about how prostate massage and pegging can enhance your sex life, whether you’re doing it solo or with a partner.

But it was when we opened it to Q&A that things really got hot. We fielded questions about everything from how to introduce the idea to a partner, to what differences we found between gay men and heterosexual men when it comes to prostate fun, to how to tell when you’re massaging it correctly (hint: “stroke, don’t poke”), to whether Kegel exercises can be helpful. It’s always lots of fun to geek out with Aislinn, especially for the Good Vibrations crowd. They had so many great questions!

I have to say that it was a real thrill to get to sign books, too. The book only arrived in the store a few days ago, so this was our very first time (other than the copy I gave to my sweetie). And seeing so many people who were looking forward to going home and trying out some of our tips was amazing!

If you missed us last night, come to our second launch party at Good Vibrations Oakland. Here’s the info:

Good Vibrations Oakland
3219 Lakeshore Ave.
February 6, 6:30-8:30pm

We’d love to see you there! And if you’re not in the San Francisco area, we’ll be hitting the road. Between us, Aislinn & I will be bringing prostate pleasure to every major city in the US and lots of smaller towns, too. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ for updates, or check out our event page. So far, we’re booked for Boston, Portland OR, Seattle, San Francisco, Baltimore, San Rafael CA, Santa Cruz, and San Diego, with lots more in the works. If you’d like to have us come to your town, get in touch and we’ll see what we can set up.

And if you want to find some excellent toys for prostate play, check out our sponsors: Good Vibrations, Aneros, SpareParts HardWear, Wet Lubricants, and Vixen Creations. If you’re looking for an amazing ride, these are the folks who have the goodies to put a smile on your face.
