Editor’s Pick
- Barbara Carrellas’ Urban Tantra by Lucy Lemonade
I would describe Tantra as the presence of body and mind, breath, and pure enjoyment. This is the description I’ve developed from reading Urban Tantra, what I felt the book was trying to convey to me. Like some individuals I had the thought that Tantra was only for white, upper middle-class couples approaching mid-life crisis. Finishing Urban Tantra I consider it an excellent solo practice for self pleasure which can be combined with another individual.

Sex Toy Review: Blue Spiral G
I secretly want to build a collection of glass dildos and display them as art pieces, but my roommate has shot down this idea. She's probably right.
But there are drawbacks to glass. Obviously, glass can break, so it must be stored carefully. The unyielding, heavy nature of the material can be both a strength and a detriment. It's not something you want to use with a lot of force because there is no give and take with your body; I'd wouldn't recommend strapping this into a harness unless you really knew what you were in for. Then there is my least favorite part about glass -- taking it out. After orgasm, your vaginal and anal muscles naturally retract, squeezing tight. It can take a few seconds (or minutes) to relax enough to get the glass dildo back out. The mushroom head on these toys can catch on your vaginal walls, making removal almost painful. If your anal walls or vaginal walls are very tight, I would recommend going with a glass toy that does not have the mushroom top -- but instead, going for something with a smooth tip.
The Blue Spiral G is a classic example of a glass dildo available at EdenFantasys sex toys. It has the standard shape -- a slight curve which accommodates the natural curve of the vagina and the anus, and a bulbous mushroom head which stimulates the g-spot and sits up right against the cervix during vaginal sex. With a little clitoral stimulation, this piece can produce some intense orgasms. It also makes for fun Kegel-ing, though unlike Ben Wa balls, you can't carry it around all day and squeeze. The length, 7 1/4 inches, is enough to satisfy most size queens. If that size intimidates you, remember that it doesn't have to go all the way in; it should leave enough to comfortably hold on to. The wide base is perfect for anal; the dildo will not go in too far.
The spiral adds a really nice texture, which I prefer over the simple, unadorned pieces. The price is incredibly reasonable; $24.99 versus $179.99 for a similar piece. (I cannot tell why there is a $150 difference in these two items, though I'm guessing they are simply from different manufacturers.) To clean, boil it or put it in the dishwasher.
It's a nice toy if you want a simple glass dildo, not something rose-shaped or heavily textured. A word of caution though -- and my only true complaint about the dildo itself -- the mushroom head is proportionately wide to the stem of the toy. If your vaginal and anal walls are tight, this is going to hurt coming out after an orgasm. Give your body a minute to relax, use plenty of lube, and rotate this toy with others -- don't use it every time.
The toy comes packaged in a red velour bag inside a plastic box. Store this toy carefully; the bag is not thick enough to adequately protect the toy. (My other glass toys came in padded velour bags. I wish this toy did, too). If you see a chip or crack, do not use it again.
On a final note: If you haven't played with glass yet, you're seriously missing out. I can't tell you enough how much I wish I had bought one sooner!
