My experience with strap-ons is rather limited. The first time that I had the opportunity to use one, it did not go so well. Not knowing what we were doing, my partner had bought a straight double ended dildo and a faux leather harness with all sorts of buckles. Needless to say, the dildo would not stay in both of us simultaneously. The next time was better; things always are with the right tools. Towards this end, Fun Factory has produced a double ended dildo called Share. On one end of this dildo there is a short curved bulb specifically…

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
My name is Zoe Hanis and somehow I don’t ever think I will get the hang of dating girls. Though I suppose in order to get the hang of it, one should actually date one. A couple of years ago, I asked a girl out. I had met her at a poly party and we had flirted a bit. She was fun and bubbly and I wanted to get to know her better. She had an air about her; one that I had never seen before and only seen once since. When I asked to meet her for drinks or…
MySecretLuxury.com is a brand new online store that carries the best sex toys and luxurious romance tools carefully selected for the most discerning clientele. They were kind enough to send us Fun Toy’s newest vibrator, G-vibe, for review. The G-vibe by Fun Toys is an oddly shaped vibrator unlike anything I had seen. At first, I thought that it was completely unique in design until I was shown the SplitDILDO. The SplitDILDO took a regular looking dildo and split it lengthwise allowing for a fuller feeling inside. The G-vibe takes the idea further and adds a oval handle to the…
I practice a type of poly that I tend to call tribal. As long as I can remember, Hubby and I have adopted people into our family: some as siblings, some as lovers and other as close friends. Over the last few years, our tribe has grown. Hubby and his girlfriend have brought home people. And recently, I realized that Guy and I have adopted many of his friends into the tribal polyfamily as well. The male part of the couple I was dating described the situation’ “Like you’re in the right place at the right time with the right…
Fun Factory’s Stronic Eins is a revolution in vibrator technology. In fact, it is so different from the traditional vibrator or massager, that the new term “pulsator” was coined. “Eins” in German means “one” and this is not only the first of its kind, but also the first in what Fun Factory hopes to be a complete line of pulsators. In fact, Swingset’s own Cooper Beckett will be giving you a sneak peek at the Stronic Zwei (2), a pulsator for men! Due to hit the US shelves later this year and premiering this month for the European market. What…
PicoBong joins Life on the Swingset to help you “Get Lucky” this St. Patrick’s Day When the LELO representative contacted me to help promote their PicoBong line of vibrators and toys, I was ecstatic. With the crew at CatalystCon East, it would give me something to do and I would be able to share one of my favorite things about this job with two very special readers: receiving new vibrators! Yes, we here at Life on the Swingset will be giving away a vibrator to two (2) lucky readers. PicoBong has graciously offered up the Kaya Rabbit Vibe (for first place)…
My name is Zoe Hanis and I am a complete and utter fangirl. Yes, yours truly was reduced to quiet stares lost in his clear eyes, able to only answer direct questions, not take the conversation further. So much I want to ask; so much I want to learn; to do. It started a few weeks ago, when Cooper asked if I wanted to go with him and Dylan to a hand sex workshop at a sex shop downtown. Handsex? I thought, yet another strange thing I am doing for Swingset. Isn’t it enough that I experiment on my playmates…
One of the most exciting things about my job here at Swingset is getting packages from toy companies. Unfortunately, it comes with the most difficult task: who to assign to review each toy. But when the Onye Kenya and Onye Kenya Petite arrived from Big Teaze Toys, it was clear who would be doing those reviews. I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how to insert the 3AAA batteries into the Onye Kenya (even the diagram wasn’t helpful). I would suggest marking a + or – on the battery case to make changing them easier. The…
LELO is one of the top manufacturers of vibrators. Everything from the packaging to the design is pleasing. The ELISE 2 arrived encased in a black box that reminded me of fine jewelry. It lay nestled in a black flocked foam that resembled the black velvet on which a diamond bracelet might lay. Included with the actual vibrator, is its charger, instructions, a black satin-like bag, an authenticity card, a packet of personal lubricant. My ELISE 2 is plum; a deep purple color with a silver metal band. It is encased in a matte finished silicone. It is nice and…
My name is Zoe Hanis and I play safe. Today I went in for my 6 month STD tests. My doctor asked if I worried that I had been exposed to something. I told him “no, I swing.” That was as good an explanation as any and he accepted it without batting an eye. I have found the variety of people’s comfort levels when it comes to sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing and discussions to be fascinating in its variety. I had never really thought about it much before becoming non-monogamous. When we first opened our marriage, Hubby and I had…
