When Doc Johnson sent us the Gal Pal, I have to say we were skeptical. I said that it sort of looked more like a futuristic ray gun than a double ended dildo. Hubby said it reminded him of the kind of gag gift that might be given out at a bachelorette party; one where the giggly girls are too embarrassed to say, let alone see a, penis. (How exactly he knows what goes on at bachelorette parties, I don’t think I really want to know.) But regardless of what it looks like, it needed testing. The Gal Pal is…

Zoe first described herself as "bad at monogamy" until about five years ago when she and her husband discovered the term that actually described her: polyamorous. Since then they have opened their family to other partners. Zoe is currently juggling relationships with her husband, their two kids, her husband's girlfriend, and a slew of friends/loves that she calls her tribal poly family. She can be reached on facebook or on twitter @ZoeHanis
I like glass as a material for sex toys; borosilicate (pyrex) in particular. Glass is smooth and hard. It is nontoxic and nonporous (which makes it easy to clean and sanitize). It can be cooled or warmed for temperature play. But the most interesting thing of all about glass sex toys is the visual aspect. Many of the glass sex toys that I have seen are works of art. The Crystal Twist Color Dildo by Crystal Delights is no exception. Its shape resembles a piece of spiral pasta though it increases in diameter, hence also circumference, from one end to…
“Throughout life we are reliving our first relationships; trying to get them right.” As I hung up the phone, I smiled; as a fan of Quantum Leap, the idea of “striving to put right what once went wrong” is a nice idea. But what do romantic relationships have to do with our first relationships (those with our primary caregivers)? I didn’t see how settling the issues I have with my mother would help in my romantic relationships. And quite honestly, I thought my therapist was barking up the wrong tree. The epiphany came after I chatted with a friend online;…
Hey Swingset fans, have you ever thought “Wow, testing and reviewing of sex toys/products sounds like a really awesome job?” Is it something that you might like to try? Well now you can… Ok so enough of the obnoxious infomercial. Seriously, though… Life on the Swingset has teamed up with RodeoH to help them in testing a new product called the Truhk Duo. The Duo is an underwear harness with two o-rings for up to 2 dildos. But before I give you my review of the Duo, I want to tell you a bit about the company and how you…
My name is Zoe Hanis and I learned very early that it matters what you put in your body in order to masturbate. When I was a teenager, I had no idea why girls wanted to have sex (due to poor experiences). When my best friend told me that she masturbated, I thought she was nuts. But she seemed convincing; if I tried it, sex would be better. So I figured that I would give it a try. Having no idea how to go about masturbating, I scoured the house for something phallic shaped. It was my thought that if…
It was little wonder to me that Doc Johnson has made a complete line of products based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Personal lubricants, cock ring and vibrator boxes all are adorned with familiar images in a capital W forming an intricate crest to set the scene of Wonderland. When I was growing up, Alice was always my favorite of the Disney heroines. She was determined to find some semblance of normality while finding herself in a situation that was completely nonsensical. She relied on her own wits, not some prince, to find her way while dealing with strange…
When the Wilde dildo by Fuze Toys (a subsidiary of Happy Valley Silicone) first hit my desk, I will admit it looked a little daunting. It was jet black and looked pretty large in girth. I briefly wondered if I was going to be able to enjoy it. As strange as it may sound, one of the things that I do with dildos is to see how well they will fit in my mouth. (This seriously amused Cooper when I tried it with one of the Bad Dragon Products). I was able to suck the Wilde well enough, but it was…
My name is Zoe Hanis and this is the story of how I discovered that I am not a club swinger. After a nice play session, Jay and I went downstairs to find sustenance. There were far more people in the swing club now and Jay commented that he wondered how many of them had peeked in on us as we had heard numerous tours going on as we played. We gathered food and drink and found a table in a corner where we could people watch as we ate. Jay said the club was not as busy as usual.…
When our friends from MySecretLuxury.com sent us a new package, I was extremely excited. I highly recommend this female owned and operated website. MySecretLuxury.com carries only high end products and every purchase is wrapped in black tissue paper for discretion and style. Unwrapping the tissue exposed the purple box of Je Joue’s Fifi, the “more rabbit.” Opening the cardboard revealed a very nice black box displaying the vibrator and a covered compartment containing the charger and instruction manual. Though, I was a bit surprised that a toy with such high end packaging did not come with a fabric (satin) storage pouch.…
My name is Zoe Hanis and I went to my first swing club. One of the things that I have wanted to do since Guy first introduced me to the concept of swinging was to go to a swing club. I didn’t want to go alone; swinging alone was difficult enough, the idea of going to a club without a safety valve was unthinkable. Originally, Guy had said that he would take me, but there was never a good time and now that we are not together, I didn’t see it ever happening. Enter Jay. I met him on Kasidie.com…
