In the shopping section of September's O Magazine, hidden among the matching china and shaker boxes, is something to, um, shake your box. Yes, these are O's favorite vibrators! The Naughtinano plugs into your iPod and vibrates in time to the music, while the Spot's "dual speed controls allow for a highly customized experience." Wonder if Robyn Okrant has these. Bonus: O also likes wine aerators that kind of look like vibrators. Check them out after the jump. [O: The Oprah Magazine]

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Has Never Used A Vibrator
So this explains a lot: Elisabeth Hasselbeck has never used a vibrator, and she won't be starting anytime soon. This morning on The View, the ladies were discussing something that they've talked about a million times before: whether or not your man jerking off to porn — or jerking off at all — is a deal breaker. (It's insane to think that people would hold masturbation against someone.) Elisabeth said she's not OK with it, because it makes her feel as though, if a man has to go to fantasize about anything but her, then that means she's not good enough. Jeez, for someone who's not into masturbation, she's sure as shit into herself. Anyway, Whoopi asked if she ever used a vibrator, and Elisabeth said no, because she enjoys sharing intimacy with another person. Clip above. More »

Unicorns, Easy-Bake Ovens, And Vibrators, Or: I Believe In The Radical Possibilities Of Pleasure
I've been mulling over a few things after a shit storm went down at my job last week. And when I say "my job," I mean this site, obvs. All of us on staff here work really fucking hard, and I take the stress and problems I encounter to bed with me every night—literally, because I fall asleep in front of my laptop and the first thing I do when I open my eyes the next morning is IM my coworkers and check my email before I brush my teeth or pee. So I was really grumpy last week when commenters were telling me that I was doing my job incorrectly. (And grumpy, too, when I was called names, and trash talked in public messages on commenter profiles. Yeah, I read them.) Anyway, I took a couple chill pills and got over my grumpiness to realize that for the things that suck about this job—lack of hygiene, lack of social life, lack of respect from total strangers—there are like a million more things that make what I do so much fun. I get paid to have sex, get stoned with my best friend, work with some of the coolest, smartest women I've ever met, and—come to think of it—earn the respect of total strangers. And it was this more optimistic perspective that made me remember the significance of my core beliefs as a feminist: Just because we have vaginas, doesn't mean we're all victims. Being a girl can actually be really fun. In the words of some wise women, "Just cuz my world sweet sister is so fucking goddamn full of rape, does that mean my body must always be a source of pain? No, no, NOOO!" (That's Bikini Kill, btw.) Being a girl, for me anyways, has actually kinda been a blast.

E! Tries To Take The High Road By Blurring Out Vibrators
Last night on Denise Richards: It's Complicated, Denise's girlfriends surprised her with a Passion Party (one of those in-home sex toy demonstration/sales parties). The sales woman, oddly enough, looks just like my Aunt Joanie, who, BTW, makes a living doing in-home candle sales parties for a company called Party Lites. But that personal creepiness aside, what struck me most about this whole thing is that they blurred out some of the more "offensive" sex toys, probably the ones that look most like penises. Why is it that E! will willingly show Kim Kardashian's bare ass, but not an inanimate object? Also, I watch E! all the time, and have seen plenty of dicks on there, namely, Ryan Seacrest. More »

What's The Deal With The Relationship Between Girls And Unicorns?
After a one-horned deer popped up in Italy this week, girls (us included) have delighted at the idea that this genetic flaw was proof of a real live unicorn. So what is it exactly about unicorns that intrigues little girls so much? Time has come out with a story on the history of the unicorn (or, rather, the folklore surrounding the mythical creature) that was very enlightening:
The unicorn both came to represent Christ, and also began to represent purity and chastity. The idea that unicorns could only be tamed by virgins became a widely held belief, and images of unicorns resting their heads in chaste womens laps, with not so subtle sexual undertones, began to appear in artwork.
Heh. Funny then, that one of my favorite unicorn novelty items has nothing to do with chastity at all.

The Buzz
So, yeah: We're on the Vanity Fair "Blog Matrix," being represented by a vibrator. Megan says, "Does that mean people masturbate to us?" Maria says:"We give good vibes?" Tracie says: "The Rabbit!? At least give us the Magic Wand. Christ." (Click here for the full thingy.) [Gawker, Vanity Fair]

Will The Cone Make You Moan?
I've been hearing about The Cone—a futuristic-shaped vibrator that you would expect characters in Woody Allen's Sleeper to use—for well over a year now. I'm always a little wary of high-end and low-end vibes, the former because the price tag is usually indicative of a lot of hype, and the latter because the because the price tag is usually indicative of a flimsy product with an inferior mechanism. The Cone will set you back a whopping $130. But it's cool looking. And has little light on it. And it's pink. So how did The Cone shape up? More »
UK-based sex toy company LoveHoney has announced the launch of the UK Sex Toy Awards. But instead of a "panel of experts" deciding on what the best sex toys are, LoveHoney is looking for 20 laywomen (heh, "lay") to test out the company's top 10 best sellers and then rate them. (You can apply to be one of those women here.) The winner will be announced in September. [LoveHoney via AVN]
