 This edition's review features two products sure to enhance your love-making and intimacy. Divine Lubricants, which - as the name suggests - is a line of lubricants, and The TongueJoy, a snazzy little gizmo that your author was introduced to at the AVN show in January. While at the AVN, I passed a booth staffed by a wonderful woman named Stephanie. She introduced me to the world of Divine Lubricants, and while I couldn't try them there on the spot (although who knows, if I were a bolder person, maybe…) I promised to give them a good go at home.  Stephanie was kind enough to supply me with two separate kinds of lube - both the regular Divine No. 9, and the Natural Vanilla scented Divine No. 8. The lubes come in three sizes, 4 oz bottles, 2 oz bottles and a handy 0.41 oz travel pack perfect to fit in your purse or carry bag for those inspired moments we all have.My lover and I used the product as you would a normal lube, applying to the outside of my vaginal area and liberally to my clitoris, as well as coating his penis both head and shaft. The consistency of the lube was in liquid form, heavier than olive oil (I know, what a comparison) but lighter than a gel or jelly. It was slippery and slick, and felt wonderful on merely our hands. When applied to the body, it felt soft wand warm without being runny. Purportedly made from ingredients off the deep coast of Hawaii, the lubricant is touted as both a massage lotion and a personal lubricant that can be used anywhere on the body. Made of deep sea kelp and other exotic sea plant extracts, it supposedly simultaneously moisturizes the skin while eliminating friction (but not the good kind). It didn't dry up or become sticky after a while, as most lubes tend to do, but rather seemed to gradually become absorbed by the body in a natural denouement. It's a water-based lubricant, so it's safe for latex-based condoms - always a plus when dealing with lube - and an important note: ALWAYS USE WATER-BASED LUBRICANTS WHEN USING LATEX-CONDOMS! Just rubbing it into your hands as a coating then used for a sensual massage on your partner's body is a relaxing, soothing, sensual experience. Slightly sweet-smelling, Divine No. 9 was a wonderful enhancement for hours of fun.  Divine No. 8 is the Natural Vanilla scented lubricant, and the scent is not overwhelming, as some scented products are known to be. It's more a hint of vanilla, an aroma known to increase sexual arousal since ancient times. Another plus: it's safe if ingested, so it doesn't kill your love-making variety if you use it for an initial penetration then move along to other pastimes.One note - it is advertised as a slight stimulant: " A generous amount lightly massaged around a woman's clitoris and into her vagina will strongly stimulate the underlying nerve cells while at the same time eliminate distracting irritation and dryness. The results are profound. Applied lightly on a man's shaft and head, the entire penis will be engulfed in sensation. (www.divinetimes.com) Now, I can't report this to be a true statement or not - but then again, your author tends to be the sort who becomes overwhelmed by her body's stimulation to the point where it's not easy to distinguish whether additional stimulation is achieved. Neither my lover nor I recall added tweaks, but we'll leave that for the more discerning users to discover for themselves. Divine Lubricants are sold directly through their website - www.Divinetimes.com,and a variety of other online sites including Adam & Eve, Drugstore.com, and Shop in Secret, or in locations like Divine Pleasures -- Honolulu, Hawaii, Fairvilla Superstores -- Orlando, Cocoa Beach and Key West Florida, Hustler Superstore - Hollywood, California, Just for Pleasure - Charlotte, North Carolina, Spearmint Rhino Superstore - All locations in greater Los Angeles, California, and Videos and More - Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Prices range from $15.79 for the 4 oz bottle of Natural Vanilla No. 8, to $9.99 for the 4oz No. 9, all the way down to the travel packs, which are sold in sets of six in a convenient generous amount of .41 oz (a better size than most small portions or trial packs) $9.89 for the Natural Vanilla and $8.89 for the No. 9. A bargain, in my opinion, for the quality of this product and the amount featured. See website for shipping costs. Your author recommends this product emphatically. Tell Stephanie that Alexia sent you. To move on, we turn to the TongueJoy, a quirky little gizmo that I again first came across at the AVN show. It's touted as the "World's Only Oral Vibrator" which may or may not be true, but it was definitely the first of its kind for me.  My TongueJoy arrived in a blister pack similar to what you'd purchase your portable CD-player in. This was the regular TongueJoy Oral Vibrator sold for $49.00 on their site. Inside was the item itself, the TongueJoy Oral vibrator, 2 393 (watch-sized) batteries, one variable-speed turbo pack, 1 custom surgical stainless steel barbell, 4 assorted textured silicone pleasure sleeves, and three multipurpose elastic silicone bands. These all came is a small, cute embroidered "Zip, Click, and Go" satin pouch, small enough to carry in a coat pocket or purse.Okay - lots of stuff. And a small confession - your author is the recipient of extensive expensive dental work - enough to have put a few dentists' sons/daughters through Ivy League schools. So I didn't try the TongueJoy on the tongue. But that's the beauty - you don't have to - the three various-sized multipurpose elastic silicone bands fit nicely on fingers, toes, or other body parts. The actual item itself looks like a barbell with a cylinder projection off the center. The batteries go at either end of the barbell, while the center extension is the actual vibrator. The only way I found to turn the item off once the batteries were inserted was to remove the cylinder from the unit. The custom surgical stainless steel barbell is for those who have tongue piercings and want to ensure a stronger fit of the device. The cylinder is inserted into one hole-bored end of the piercing barbell, while the other end is the standard ball which removes in order to be placed through the existing piercing. That's gotta feel cool, I bet, for it also means the vibrations are going directly through the center of your tongue.  The four assorted textured silicone "pleasure sleeves" are a blue piece with raised lines running the length of the sleeve, a pink piece with raised nubs, a thin yellow piece with no outward textures, and a thicker smooth green piece, for stronger stimulation. Each piece had its distinct pleasures when used on the unit and attached by a silicone band to my finger and applied directly to my clit and labial area. This included stimulation of the anal area, although I did not penetrate with the unit attached.The piece, when used with the batteries, has only one speed, but it's pretty strong for a battery unit - stronger than some full-sized vibrators I've used in the past. The Turbo Battery pack, which uses two standard "AA" batteries, has a cap on it which replaces one of the ends of the device, and a long, non-invasive and non-distracting wire to the Turbo Pack. It has variable speeds and also assists the unit in delivering a more powerful punch in its vibrations. I definitely recommend this accessory. When used without the silicone sleeves, the coolness of the metal against the heat of the skin produces a nice dual feeling in the body, although as steel does, it eventually accepts the heat of whatever it's against. For as long as it lasts, this nice little natural tweak has its definite benefits. In trying the bands on my tongue, just to see what it was like, the largest fit snugly around the center of my tongue. The middle ring fit the front portion of my tongue without slipping, but the smallest was more fitted for my pinky. I have small hands.  In sum, this little unit was stronger than some full-size vibes, and the accessories were a boon for additional stimulation of clit and anal areas. It can be used as a "vibrating massager" with pinpoint precision (ahem), but I preferred using it for manual-self-stimulation. The additional external turbo pack gave the vibrator a boosted punch, and hours of fun were enjoyed. Stainless steel has its own unique benefits, and also assists in clean-up and sterilization.A definite recommend! For use on yourself or on your partner, this peanut-sized plaything packs a powerful wallop sure to get your juices flowing. You can purchase the TongueJoy through the website (www.tonguejoy.com) or through most online resellers. I haven't seen it in any street stores, but I am sure you can find it there. On the official site, the package I received sold for $49.00, but there is a "Romance Edition" which retails at $79.00, includes everything I received in my package, but also included a 6 month manufacturer's warranty, a 56-page book entitled "Put the Play Back in Foreplay", and comes in a red satin jewel box. Enjoy, and make sure you let me know of your adventures with both of these wonderful inventions. If you have an item or website you'd like to see me review, let me know directly .
