JimmyJane pleasure products are sleek, well-made and handsome, but they’re also on the higher price range price. Are they worth it? I tried out five of them to help you decide. This is the first in a five-part series:

JimmyJane’s Iconic Rabbit: The Usual Suspects Collection: This was the first JimmyJane product I owned and the first rabbit I tried. Wandering the aisles of The Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood, CA, I found myself awash in a sea of garish rabbit and rabbit-like devices not knowing which to choose. The great thing about The Pleasure Chest is that all their sales associates are educators as well and very well-versed in all of their products. After I made a glib comment about the flashy designs of most of the choices, the salesperson steered me to JimmyJane’s Iconic Rabbit.

Initially attracted to it’s no-nonsense design devoid of glitter, pearls and bright color that the sex toy industry assumes women like, I was pleasantly pleased with the salesperson’s review and quickly ran home to try it out. Let’s just say I was MORE than thrilled with it’s performance. With the Iconic Rabbit angled just right I was able to have my FIRST simultaneous g-spot/clitoral orgasm. For that feat alone it should receive an award.

Made of durable, phalate-free and body-safe materials (like all of their toys you can feel confident exposing your most intimate areas to this vibe. The Iconic Rabbit has a rotating shaft, inner “pearls” and a divine set of bunny ears that hit me at just the right “spot.” It’s dual slide, individual speed controls let you play with different speeds for different areas and test and choose the intensity that’s right for you.  Contrary to other Rabbit’s I’ve tried since, I found JimmyJane’s Iconic Rabbit to be versatile enough for when I want powerful stimulation and for when I am in the mood for a lighter touch. In addition, it’s aesthetically pleasing and goes well with my white and grey bedroom … it’s the little things that make a difference, right?

By myself or in the hand of a partner, this Rabbit performs and, after 5 years of continuous use, has held up just as well as the day I bought it … well worth the price. I recommend this to women who are just about to buy their first sex toy and to couples who want to start experimenting with toys. One of the best ways to build intimacy with a partner (and see how they like to be pleasured) is to watch each other masturbate. The Iconic Rabbitis the perfect choice for this setting as it’s size and appearance are non-threatening to men and to women who aren’t used to playing with a toy in bed.

The drawbacks? Unlike a lot of JimmyJane products the Iconic Rabbit is not waterproof so I recommend using a toy cleaning wipe or spray (I like pjur med clean intimacy soft cleansing fleece). Room for improvement? Sure, I’d like to see a girthier version in the future for a little variety and a waterproof one would open up more possibilities … but that’s just me. Regardless, I’ll still be hitting up Mr. Iconic Rabbit for late night trysts.

Tweet sex sites are a many splendored thing, opening doors to fluid identities that are both sexy and risk-free while erecting an emotional firewall to avoid real, personal rejection. My hackles go up whenever I think about technology replacing human touch, but when I met Lady Cheeky and heard her story of seeking and finding passion via tweet sex, I witnessed a brave new world where one woman’s sexuality was accessed in an accelerated way that involved wooing, teasing, and palpable passion.

“Lady Cheeky” is her Anglophile cybersex identity name, where she is a servant/vessel/wench. We met on the floor at Marilyn Friedman’s essay writing workshop, which I signed up for during a dark time. After dozens of agent rejections flooded my inbox for over a year, I longed to sit in a room with other writers again, hoping to inject my writing with joy by learning new literary tricks from veteran journalist, Taffy Brodesser-Akner. Our assignment was to tell the group what our essay was about and then say one more line declaring what our essay was “really” about.

Lady Cheeky’s wavy, Lucille Ball hair matched her bright red lips. Her curves punched out of her ’40s frock, as she told a hilarious topsy-turvy tale about role-playing on a True Blood-themed, Twitter-based direct message and tweet stream, which led her to start her smart and sexy websites where she met “Lord Byron,” hired a P.I. to check another lover out, and divorced her husband. She also overcame a rare sexual disorder; started a popular sensual images blog; began writing and publishing real-life erotica based on her new, passion-filled experiences; is in the process of working on a memoir; has a new story in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s upcoming erotica anthology, The Big Book of Orgasm; and is currently speaking about body image and sensuality, as well as integrative sensuality.

Lady Cheeky’s story beneath the story was flesh and bone ache deriving from a phantom limb that was pummeled awake by HBO’s True Blood series. I wanted to know more about how True Blood was the springboard to becoming a sexually actualized woman, capable and deserving of passion.

Ever have that moment where you wake up in a small county jail without your shoelaces, belt, or dignity? Yeah, me neither. How about some random bed where you try to remember where your pants are, where the handcuff key is, and why your ass hurts? Me neither. But have you ever wanted to hear stories from people who have, though? Yeah, me too!

This month, Bawdy Storytelling presents ‘The Unlikeliest Places’ — a firm and probing exploration into sexploration … LA style. From hopping a fence to getting drunk in a hospital to good ol’ stickin’ it where it don’t normally fit, come hear stories about boldly going where most men and women just shouldn’t, couldn’t, and in some states dictated by law, MUST NOT go.

This show will be a mix of renowned sex-positive celebrities for the curated portion of our show, followed by BawdySlam (where people just like you take to the Bawdy stage and share personal and intimate adventures for prizes and the title of Dirtiest Storyteller in LA).

You may even go home with a few new tricks for your boudoir arsenal!

As the great American poet Iggy Pop once said, “You know I’ve had it in the ear before…” Come to the gorgeous El Cid to enjoy tapas, drinks (my fave are the drinks made with this incredible homemade jam!), flirting and stories that would make little Jimmy Osterberg blush!

Lady Cheeky is presenting Does This Panel Make Me Look Fat?: Body Image and Sexuality. Check out Lady Cheeky’s bio here.

How do you see yourself as a catalyst for change?

I think anyone is a catalyst for change who actively pursues being a part of the discussion about how to change an outmoded ideal. Hopefully, this pursuit never ends but becomes more passionate with each endeavor.

Who or what was a catalyst for you?

My blogs. Being able to express myself, unexpurgated gave me the freedom to make significant changes in my life.

What do you feel are some of the biggest challenges or concerns facing us in the field of sexuality right now?

Getting the meme out to the world that sexuality is as natural as breathing in a way that doesn’t seem preachy or “woo-woo” so that people from all walks of life can understand it.

Weightless

tumblr_m7ov4wY6tU1rp1nr2o1_500By Lady Cheeky

I posted this picture recently on my blog, Lady Cheeky. Underneath the photo I typed the word “Gorgeous.” When I blog my photos, I do it rather quickly as I only blog the images I, personally think are sexy. I don’t always comment on photos I post, but when I do it’s because a word or a feeling comes to mind and I add the comment as effortlessly as I would if I were having conversation.

On this day, again without thinking, I posted the comment “GORGEOUS” on this sensual photo of a very zaftig woman laying on her side with a naked man behind her. I thought the image was beautiful and the body, with all it’s texture and curves was gorgeous. Even though my porn site is body-positive, I still get the regular lookie-loos that just want to see the graphic images. That’s fine, I like them too. To each his/her own. But when comments attacking someone’s size, either skinny or large, deluge my in-box, it always makes me roll my eyes and sigh. Today wasn’t the first time I received un-kind words regarding a photo I posted. But today I recognized a change in how I see them.

When I’ve receive these blistering notes, I don’t get angry, I don’t get offended, I don’t get depressed or antagonistic or vindictive. I never feel attacked, less-than or judged. And because I also share some of the characteristics of the picture I posted, I could sit here in self-hate and use the rapacious insults to validate all that I think is wrong with me.  In fact, in the past I would have. But instead, I feel like a climber that has reached the top of a small but difficult mountain, looking out to azure skies and tree-topped valleys upon the vast landscape upon which holds the secret of my next trek.

Today, when I see these comments in my in-box I feel validated and liberated and secure because I know that I’ve overcome thinking of my round, soft and curvy body as less desirable, less sensual and less important than the average-sized women I used to compare myself to. I feel free from the drama in my head of constantly worrying if my lover will walk out the door when he sees my stomach … naked without the Spanx binding it in. Feeling confident that I am attractive because I feel sexy in my own skin “knowing” of who I am as a woman is the payoff of years and years of hard inner and practical work.

Today, when I post a gorgeous photo of a nude woman, laid out in all her vulnerable, sexy nakedness … a woman who resembles me much more than a traditionally sized woman, I no longer take in the “fatty” or the “whale” or “the lazy whore needs to go to the gym” comments because for every nasty comment gets lodged at me for what I personally think is gorgeous, I get a comment like this: “That picture that you said “Gorgeous” I have almost the same body as her. It made me smile.”

THAT made ME smile and made my day. It reminded me of a quote by Mary VonEbner-Eschenbach: “In youth we learn; In age we understand.”  Today in my Oprah “Aha moment” I see that no matter how small your contribution is to pursue a purpose you believe in (for me, my little blog) you still have the capacity to make a stranger smile and even potentially piss-off the ignorant at the same time. And that makes my younger-self feel weightless and my present self feel very, very grateful for the capacity to finally understand.
