The words, “A hot date with my vagina,” stood out to me like a beacon in my Facebook news feed. As I read more, I learned that a San Diego reporter had interviewed my friend, Dr. Jenn Gunsaullus, about meditative or mindful masturbation. For those who aren’t aware of the concept of mindfulness, Psychology Today […]
Once upon a time, there was a Little City Girl. Her parents raised her with love, support and opportunities. They let her know that she could be anything that she wanted to be when she was older. At 14, Little City Girl told her father that she wanted to go to Wellesley College and become […]
When the owners of Lotus Blooms handed me my next toy to review, I smiled like a kid in a candy store and exclaimed: A phthalate-free Rabbit! See, I had thrown out my old, jelly rubber Rabbit when I learned that it contained potentially harmful ingredients. And, I’m a fan of products like the Rabbit […]
I was a bit surprised when one of the owners of Lotus Blooms gave me a book to review, rather than a product. But, after reading Violet Blue’s The Smart Girl's Guide to the G-Spot, I’m very glad that she did! Sex educator and best-selling author Blue is an entertaining and effective writer. Reading this […]

What should you consider when buying condoms? A latex rubber condom provides protection against pregnancy, HIV/AIDS and STDs. Choose latex, unless you have a rubber […]
Lotus Blooms' customers request that the boutique carry Fun Factory's LAYAspot more than any other massage toy! The toy was also featured on Oprah as a "must have" product in the Beginner's Guide to Erotica. Many online sources swear by the Laya Spot, but does the toy meet with my approval? What's good about the […]
When it comes to sex toys, Lelo products are the creme de la creme! The Swedish company was established in 2003 with one key objective: to create sex toys of better quality, function, and design than any others on the market. After trying out the Lelo Elise for the past two weeks, I say: Mission […]
