Just when you think you got all the online dating' terms covered, a new name gets on the list. "Benching" is the act of keeping someone on the side for times you feel lonely, and no one else is available. The main difference between "benching" and "ghosting" is that you keep in touch but with a long-time lag, rather than leaving that person for good. Of course, being benched is never a nice feeling, which could be tricky. 

For most of my adult life, the concept of sex toys was something that snickered about and where many men looked at women using them as proof that they weren't able to handle her needs. That's just not the case for most couples and in fact trying something new can be an exciting opportunity to improve communication, share a special moment together, and who knows... maybe even find out you've opened a new door that both of you can enjoy in the future as well. The first step however is reaching out to your partner and creating a conversation about the idea of introducing sex toys into your relationship. 

It's always a good idea to stay safe when dating. While we think of this usually as protecting yourself from sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy, there are a ton of other things to take into consideration too. For instance, just the act of sharing a cab together this past year could have lead to a life threatening illness. As we begin to return to normal and dating resumes it is important to remember that there are other viruses, physical, and emotional dangers to protect yourself from.

Even the best relationships can take a turn for the worse if the sexual flame between partners isn’t kept alive and well. However, that can be an extremely difficult task for some couples, especially those engaged in a long-term or long-distance union. Being able to maintain your lustful emotions for one another can start to feel like a chore after a while. And when you can’t physically touch your partner or you can’t find a way to sexually please them on a consistent basis, an otherwise solid foundation can start to crumble.

There are business hotels and then there are hotels with themed rooms designed for a romantic getaway. These are fun and exciting with a little bit of naughty thrown in for good measure. Especially in a time like this where you might desperately need an escape but aren't really wanting to go out and hang around with people, finding a themed hotel room near you might just be the perfect solution. The interesting thing is that while you might think this type of getaway would be only found in California, New York, or Las Vegas... the reality is that there are options all over the country, including states you might normally think of as being more conservative such as Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, and even Utah!

Ok, so valentine's day was last week and for most of us we have a partner to celebrate, honor and cherish... hopefully, one who will reciprocate our care and attention on March 14 for "Steak and a BJ Day". For those guys out there that don't have a partner to celebrate with, maybe it's time to try something different. Sex toys for men have evolved by leaps and bounds over the past decades from "inflatable dolls" to some of the most advanced technology on the market today. There's simply no reason to go full-on into "American Pie" mode these days. Let's take a look at some of today's most popular trends...

While we men generally have it good when it comes to most things in life. One area where we have historically lagged is with toys designed for our sexual pleasure. For the most part, our hands work pretty well and that’s been good enough for most of us. Plus, most guys don’t talk about masturbating or ask other guys for advice and recommendations the way women do. Luckily, LELO - one of the top designers of sex toys has chosen to invest in some serious research and deliver the ultimate male sex toy for us to try.

For some of us, just the opportunity to escape the rigors of daily life and family is exciting enough to make a romantic getaway the perfect adventure. However, there's always ways to make things that much more fun and memorable. 

There's no denying that mankind is often driven by lust... we start wars, invent new technologies, explore new territories and try new things in search of sexual pleasure. Despite the fact that most of these things have been driven by men, the subject of sex toys for men has been something left to the sidelines. Women on the other-hand have had a wide variety of weird, wonderful, and downright scary tools to provide self-pleasure. Today though, that's changing and while solo male pleasure is something most guys find hard to talk about, the impact of technology for bringing couples together is expanding rapidly.

There are a lot of great men out there developing interesting new business ideas and to many, working in the "sex industry" seems like a dream. For Daniel Becker though it was something that he arived at by leveraging traditional e-commerce expertise and simply following the money. Don't worry though, this isn't just some seedy strip club or video studio - Daniel created a store focused specifically on the male customer and helping them connect with various items specifically designed for the male customer. We think that's pretty cool so let's learn more about how and why he created The Enhanced Male!

This article is going to get a lot of raised eyebrows I'm sure. The genesis of this idea started from a conversation I had a few months ago with the folks at Perfect Fit. While they are primarily a store to sell toys for fun and pleasure - we both wanted to encourage guys to be more healthy, active, and happy without resorting to pills, creams, etc. For too many guys, there are sensitive topics that have attracted companies promising to solve everything from ED to PE or even make your equipment longer. There's a stigma about these men's health issues and so it can be difficult to discuss them compared to the simplicity of ordering some snake oil online and hoping for the best. That being said though, here are some ideas on how sex toys can help overcome some of the most common sexual health problems that men face.

For most couples, keeping the romance in their relationship alive is something they work very hard to achieve. The moment you start neglecting your significant other or taking them for granted, the sooner you may find yourself alone. Here's some ideas to help keep things fresh.

Let’s park the masculine bravado for a minute; we ultimately all want to be in a loving relationship with the woman (or man) of our dreams. So, when you find the perfect partner, being the best boyfriend possible should be an ongoing commitment.

Premature ejaculation or PE is the number one most common men's sexual health problem. Let's face it - we've all gotten a bit overexcited and couldn't control ourselves. It's not fun, it can be awkward, and sometimes a bit messy. One of the challenges that we face as men is that because so much of our "male image" is tied up in sexual prowess, that failure to perform is something often shrouded in mystery, myth, and bravado. Let's take a look at a few of these myths as well as some treatments that will actually work to help you last longer.
