Mom’s Favorite Vibrators – by TickleSpot Magazine.

Getting close to your boyfriend can be a lot of fun. Getting him in the mood, however, may be another story, which is why tickling can be so much fun. There’s a lot of fun to be had with tickling, especially the sensations from the body and the whoop of laughter that usually ensues. How do you get him to tickle you? Well, that’s actually much easier than you think.

Saying things such as “I like being tickled” may not be the way to get your desires across. He may just think, “Okay,” and move past your small request. There’s more to it. You have to show him and demonstrate the first few times so that he sees what happens. It’s important to remember that tickling is contagious and silly. It sometimes leads to more tickling and sometimes leads to other things, so be careful what you wish for. Tickling can be highly addictive, but make sure you use it for fun and not torture (yes, there really is such thing as tickle torture).

Getting tickled is just plain good old fun. It causes your body to squirm and laugh out of control. In order to get your boyfriend to tickle, you’ll usually have to start the tickling. Even if he doesn’t like to be tickled, he’ll feel the need to tickle you back. Even if it is just to defend himself.

How to tickle someone is easy. It can start virtually anywhere on the body, but there are key areas to start with. You can either go to the bottom of the feet, behind the knees, under the arms, or behind the neck. Tickling is done with the fingertips, and if you’ve got them, even your fingernails. Once your boyfriend learns that you like to be tickled, you can even suggest feathers and other items to be tickled with.

You can either do a fun tickle or a teasing tickle. What’s the difference? A fun tickle is when you run your fingers up and down the area of choice quickly. Giggling while you tickle helps to break any potential mood barriers down as well. Then, there’s the teasing tickle, where you may whisper things and move your fingers much more slowly. Either tickle is acceptable, it all leads to what the ultimate goal of the tickling is.

Even though tickling is an involuntary twitch of the body, you can force the body to perform the function. It is a pleasurable feeling to be enjoyed over and over again. When your boyfriend learns that you like to be tickled and how much you enjoy it, you’ll never have to ask him again. A simple tickle to him will let him know that you want to be tickled, too, and the fun begins.

Do’s and Don’ts of Great Sex at the Office – by TickleSpot Magazine.

Timbuk2 Dolores Chiller Messenger Bag $110. There’s just something special about traveling with alcohol. With this trendy-looking messenger bag, he’ll look like an on-the-go-important-person instead of a beer-toting Saturday afternoon guy. This sucker holds a 12 pack and ice, and comes with an attached bottle opener. Your boyfriend needs this bag.

Concert tickets (price varies, you should drop at least $100). The trick here is to pick a band or artist that a) he likes and b) hopefully you like too. Don’t get him tickets to see Tori Amos, even if you want to marry her and have her redhead babies. Some timely possibilities: Phish, Widespread Panic, Stone Temple Pilots, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Steve Miller Band, or possibly the American Carnage Tour featuring Slayer, Megadeth and Testament.

Retro Phone Handset $30. While this won’t really work unless he carries a man-purse, it might be worth purchasing a man-purse to use this (much like the beer-holding messenger bag). He plugs the ginormous receiver into his $600 cell phone. When it rings, he nonchalantly pulls out a piece of 1982 and says “Yo, dude!” Friends laugh uncontrollably. Mission accomplished. Wait, what was the mission…?

T-Post T-Shirt $40. I never would have thought to combine news, clothing and subscription clubs, but these people in Sweden did, and the result is a subscription-based news service delivered every six weeks on a T-shirt.  The news goes on the inside of the shirt (she has to take your shirt off to become politically informed) and a cool design related to the news story goes on the front. Yes, it’s a wearable magazine. Because one news story every six weeks is quite enough.

Esquire Big Black Book $10. This is “The Style Manual for Successful Men.” It is imperative that you don’t let this gift backfire. “What, you don’t think I have style and… successfulness?” Then you say, “No honey, this is so you can maintain your currently high level of style and successfulness.” And then he’s placated, and he reads it, and he becomes more stylish and successful. That works out for everyone, doesn’t it?

Timbuk2 Build-Your-Own-Backpack $100-$200. Normally I would not put two gifts from the same company on one list, but I mean come on. First a messenger bag that holds beer, and now a completely customizable backpack? Let him pick his own pack size, colors, fabrics and storage accessories. Laptops, books, hiking stuff, more beer, whatever. His very own backpack to adore and wear forever. Until he changes his favorite color from green to blue.

Pyramat Video Game Chair $110. If your man loves video games, he will love you for acknowledging that love, and the love goes all around in a big love circle of love. It has speakers, subwoofers, networking thingies and a pocket to hold whatever it is he might need to consume while playing video games. I’m not saying he has a problem, but how many hours a day does he spend slowly developing Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and subsequently self-medicating? I’m just saying.

The Sopranos Complete DVD Series $230. Wassa matta wit you puttanas? Buy dis freakin thing for your man and maybe you won’t be a puttana no more. You’ll be a goomah.

K3 Wind and Solar Charger $100. Get back to nature with this greener-than-thou charger for basically anything. Yup, he can charge his PDA on your next camping trip together. Yay, work? But then again, he could just let that battery go dead and charge up something more useful in the wilderness, like a handheld video game.

Jenna Haze Fleshlight – $56. This gift implies that you either like to jack him off, or you’d like to. It also implies that he might enjoy something besides you. Dangerous, sexy and painful – how could this possibly go wrong? Don’t worry, you know he does it with the ol’ palm every chance he gets… let him have some fun!

Tickle also has a new section of Sex Toys just for Men!

Top 10 Gifts for Your Boyfriend – by TickleSpot Magazine.

Yesterday, I was running down a California beach boardwalk in a running bra and name-brand shorts and shoes. The beating sun brought out the highlights in my swishing ponytail as I flashed a smile at those I passed, my long bronzed legs stretching gracefully in perfect stride. I felt absolutely like a fit celebrity with the beat of Jay Sean blasting through my ears, invigorating my body to keep a calorie-roasting pace. I thought to myself, “Yes, Jay Sean, I am down, down, down, down, down.”

As the elliptical machine hit “0:00,” I stepped off and grabbed a sanitary wipe, my dream and my run over. I was again a college student just trying to stay on top of my fitness while stuck in snow-riddled Ohio. I have always found it difficult to exercise indoors, surrounded by the sound of whirring machines and the miasma of body odor and dust. However, when my headphones go in and the music starts, I’m not at the gym; I am in a place where exercising comes easy and my body image improves significantly.

The use of music while exercising is linked to higher endurance and a more positive fitness experience, according to part of a continuous 20-year study by Dr. Costas Karageorghi at Brunel University in London. His initial study involved thirty participants exercising on treadmills while listening to upbeat music, including tracks by Queen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna. Participants kept their pace in strict time with the beat. The results show that select music can increase endurance by 15% and improve the ‘feeling states’ of exercisers, creating a more positive exercise experience, especially in times of high physical exertion.

In October 2008, Dr. Karageorghi paired up with electronics giant Sony Ericsson to launch the Sony Ericsson Run To The Beat half-marathon in London. 7,600 runners were entertained by live music scientifically selected by Dr. Karageorghi to improve performance. The half-marathon has now become an annual event.

On the Run To The Beat website, suggestions for pumping up your heart rate include looking up the beats per minute of your favorite songs and organizing playlists accordingly. Typically, music in the range of 130 to 150 beats per minute is ideal for high-intensity exercise. Think “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers or “Dancing Queen” by ABBA. The website also suggests that lyrics can make a difference. Phrases that include the word “run” are usually a good choice. Anything positive or inspirational works as well, with power phrases such as “moving on up” or “I believe.” I had tried some of the suggested music before I found out about the study, namely ABBA tracks. Dance music really is great for its consistency. I also like Gloria Estefan for this reason.

Former D.J. Richard Petty suggests dance songs over rock songs due to their consistency in beats per minute. For those of you who suffer with me through the verses of “Living on a Prayer” just to get to the kick-ass, key-changing chorus, you can appreciate this.

For me, it’s about getting on that elliptical trainer, a place I really do not want to be, and letting music take me somewhere I want to be, where the scenery and the feelings are so right, exercising just can’t be wrong. And there is certainly nothing wrong with a trimmer body. It’s these times when I turn to my silly island music repertoire, including tracks by Jimmy Buffett and Elvis Presley. Though these songs may not having me going as fast as Dr. Karageorghi’s suggested 150bpm pop music, they have me going somewhere consistently and enjoyably.

Working Out to the Beat Within – by TickleSpot Magazine.

The season when the shadows shorten, the days get longer and nature stirs is approaching: Spring. Our planet is increasing its tilt toward the sun as we speak, and the snow, frost and ice will soon lose the battle between the two warring seasons.

If you’re scratching your head, thinking “Spring?” and trying to remember the sweet smell of honeysuckle, fear not. March 20, the first day of spring this year, is just around the corner. As the flowers start to bloom and the grass turns green again, your body will reject winter’s slow death and start to wake up too, physiologically, sexually and mentally.

And then the fever hits. Spring fever has many symptoms: a yearning to go mad with love, restlessness, intense nervous excitement, haywire hormones. While spring fever isn’t a medical affliction, it is a real phenomenon that has been studied and proved by scientists.

It’s about time for things to warm up, and I can’t wait to catch the fever. If there’s still snow on the ground in your neighborhood, fret not. That just means you have more time to prepare for your body’s alarm clock to ring! Don’t worry, your hibernation time is almost over. Here’s five tips on how to make the most out of spring fever when it hits.

1. Shed any winter depression and embrace the fever.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is most closely linked with winter, the season when nature gets covered up and dies. It affects everyone to a certain degree, though there are those who are devastated by depression in the winter months. Those days are almost over, and a little sunshine thawing out your bones will naturally boost your mood. It’s scientifically proven. Just as you shed your despair, you should accept the desires that come with spring. Your biological clock, known as the suprachiasmatic nucleus, gives you more energy as the days become longer. We have more energy, are more sexually engaged, and it’s only natural, so embrace it!

2. When enthralled with love, use caution. Better yet, use protection.

Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote “In spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” This is obviously a classic case of spring fever. In a biology book titled Mammalian Sexual Biology by Frank Bronson, mammals were observed following a seasonal mating pattern. You and I are just as much mammal as the next anthropoid. Spring is prime mating season in the animal world, and our bodies are included in that realm. It’s only natural for our loins to rouse at the sight of a handsome young dude, but we must be smarter than our animal brethren and be safe in our feverish exploits, not become boy-crazy fiends. I’ll spell it out. Use a condom.

3. Revamp last year’s warm-weather wardrobe.

It’s time to take your short-shorts and sandals out of the boxes in the attic. Even though it may hurt to look at all the cute stuff you won’t be able to wear for another month or so, it’s important to be prepared! Start with the basics: swimsuits, shorts, tank tops, t-shirts. Go crazy with sexy underwear, because you never know who will see them. Spring collections are just starting to hit the racks, but if you’re more gifted in the style department than in the wallet, think of ways to spice up the clothes you already have. Add a stud belt around last year’s dress, or a sun hat from the thrift store to your tube-top-and-shorts ensemble. It’s all about looking and feeling good when you have spring fever, so indulge yourself.

4. Maintain your body.

Get out the razor and shave those winter legs. Tame the parts of your body that haven’t seen daylight since last summer, since they’re about to beg to be shown. I’m self-medicating the fever by buying a new razor and a “ready betty” kit by Betty Beauty, and by stocking up on my nail polish colors. For those of you eager to develop a “base tan,” break out the self tanner, but please, be careful not to overdo it and color yourself orange. Even I, a deliberately pale chick, can understand the desire to look like a golden goddess for spring, but you don’t want to start off the season looking like Ernie from Sesame Street, do you? No, you do not.

5. Make a season-related promise to yourself.

It could be that you’ll talk to the guy you’ve been crushing on before spring ends (no brainer, just do it. The fever may catch on!), or that you’ll go swimming at least 5 times in your new swimsuit before June (yes, hot tubs count.) For those who catch the fever and can’t commit to anything, simply make a vow to enjoy the season when everything wakes up, the fruit is sweeter and it’s ripe for the picking.

The sexual, youthful, insatiable parts of us are starting to reawaken with a hunger for life and sunshine in some parts of the country. In others, two months time and thoughts of Shia Labeouf and the like will be making you purr. Maybe that one’s just me.

Spring Fever in the Morning; Fever All Through the Night – by TickleSpot Magazine.

I’m of the mind that anyone and everyone can benefit from a little bit of skincare and makeup….as long as it makes you feel more comfortable. I do have some friends that are so freaked out by the idea of applying eyeliner (or the actual purpose of bronzer) they wouldn’t go near it for a million dollars without a supervisor. The thing is, these friends of mine are usually so comfortable and good-looking in their own skin that they don’t need the stuff anyway. I’ve always been jealous. If I walked out of my house without foundation and at least mascara on, I might as well be stark naked.

My mom bought me my first foundation when I was in sixth grade. It was Chanel (I know, I was lucky to have a generous mother with such excellent taste) and I’ve been wearing foundation every day since. Though if I took the time to count how many foundations (and mascaras, blushes, eyeliners, cleansers, moisturizers, and blemish medications) I’ve tried since sixth grade…nope, never mind. I’m not going to do that.

As far as my skin-type goes, mine’s pretty darn sensitive. It was just as acne-prone as any other teenager’s, but it was the products that made my skin go nuts. Irritation from those products can have lasting effects too, and make your skin over-compensate for long periods of time. Through years of struggling with my over-reactive and sensitive skin, I’ve subjected myself to any number of things that had awful results. Blemishes, dry skin, oily skin, skin that hurt so bad I couldn’t touch it. And no, none of that is from surgery of any sort. If I’d just known a handful of the things I know now, my face and my checking account would be so much happier. I want to share some of the things I’ve learned with you in hopes that someone (somewhere) might luck out sooner than I did. What follows are seven concepts to consider when it comes to navigating the skincare and makeup aisle. Enjoy!

1. Cleansers only need to do one thing. Clean your face.

Most cleansers claim they can help with a variety of skin problems ranging from wrinkles to acne. But remember, you’re simply washing whatever ingredients they claim work miracles right off your face. What sense does that make? Just buy a basic cleanser that removes your makeup, otherwise it’s more like washing your money down the drain.

2. Save that squeaky-clean feeling for your dishes.

Your face should never, ever look or feel like a plate you just pulled out of the dishwasher. If your face has that “squeaky-clean” feel after cleansing (i.e. tight, shiny, dry, etc.) it’s time to switch cleansers. What that feeling means is you’ve stripped your skin of all the moisture and essential oils that keep it balanced. Now your skin is going to retaliate by acting very, very angry. Ever wonder how skin can look flaky but feel oily all at the same time? Yep, your face is angry.

3. Moisturize.

Self-explanatory! The only thing I should add is that exfoliating once and a while will slough dead skin cells off your face and make your moisturizer more effective. Even if you just use your normal cleanser with a clean (clean!) washcloth…I promise you will see a difference no matter what your skin type.

4. Nothing should make your skin worse before it gets better.

If you use a product and it does anything, anything that makes your skin look or feel worse than it was before…stop using it! This one is difficult for me. I always want to believe that after a couple days of “sticking with it,” my skin will magically become radiant through the power of my dedication. I’m still waiting for that theory to pay off.

5. Read the ingredients, no matter how scary they sound.

Knowing exactly what you’re putting on your face can be very eye-opening. Once I began reading the ingredients on the back of my skincare products, I realized I needed to do a little research. Hopefully, you will too. Regardless if they’re synthetic or organic, educating yourself on the ingredients in that bottle will make you more confident in your purchases and eventually help you recognize the things that are beneficial or harmful to your skin. For instance, tocopheryl acetate sounds like saran wrap from outer space, but it’s actually just a term for Vitamin E.

5. Myths versus facts versus straight-up lies: you can learn to tell the difference!

This one can get a bit heavy. So to make it easier and give you an idea of what I’m talking about, here are some quick bullets to get you started.

- Ingredients are listed in order of their amount. The lower on the list, the less of that ingredient there is in the product. Many times, a product will be marketed for including a specific ingredient that might do exactly what they say it does, but there is not enough of it in the product to be effective!

- “Oil-free” is a concept that’s been around for a long time. Guess what? Oil in cosmetics and the oil your skin produces are two completely different things. In truth, ingredients like cosmetics-grade mineral oil are 100% natural and known to be the safest, most non-irritating moisturizing ingredients available. Also, plenty of products that are advertised as oil-free aren’t.

- “Alcohol-free” is a statement to watch for. Once again, many products listed as being “alcohol-free” aren’t. And unlike “oil-free” you really want your products to be “alcohol-free.” Alcohols are harsh, drying, and generally evil. It’s like putting nail polish remover (or vodka) on your face. Ew.

- There are two different types of alcohol. Fatty alcohols (which will generally not have the word “alcohol” in their ingredient name) and low-density alcohols. They’re also referred to as fatty acids. Though both types come from the same organic compounds, fatty alcohols have a higher density and are therefore not nearly as toxic, harmful, or drying. Fatty alcohols are usually just used as thickeners or emollients in many cosmetics (and food!).  You’ll see a ton of them if you look on the back of Cetaphil cleanser, which is one of the mildest cleansers you can find. Low-density alcohols are the ones to avoid at all costs. They are found in many toners, astringents, and acne medications, and names for them include: ethanol, denatured alcohol, sd alcohol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, and isopropyl alcohol. All of them are bad!

- Triclosan is an ingredient found in many hand soaps and acne products. This is because it’s antibacterial. It is also technically a pesticide and a possible human carcinogen. To put it in perspective, it is highly toxic to many forms of marine life. It kills fish, and you might be putting it on your face.

- Packaging is very important, and I’m not talking about whether or not it looks pretty. I’m simply referring to jars versus pumps. Pumps limit the product’s exposure to air and bacteria. Jars are just inviting bacteria to set up house. Also, continuous exposure to air causes a lot of products to break down over time, become unstable, and ultimately less effective.

- AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHA’s  (beta hydroxy acids) are two very effective exfoliants. They are usually found in a cream, lotion, or serum form. AHA’s slough off dead surface skin cells and BHA’s actually exfoliate the interior of your pores. Both help with acne, blackheads and whiteheads. Hooray! AHA’s and BHA’s require a specific Ph level to be effective. So before you run out and buy a product containing either of these ingredients, check one of the websites listed at the end of this article to make sure they’re even capable of doing their job. Unfortunately, most aren’t.

6. The ladies at the makeup counter will say anything to get you to buy something.

Most of the employees at cosmetics counters live in the same dark closet we do when it comes to the myths and facts of the skincare industry. They will tell you about the miracle ingredients in their products and say they use it every day. They will say that “studies” have shown goodness-knows-how-many-things about the newest cream they got in this week. So when someone at a makeup counter tells you that their entire line of products must to be used together to be most effective, they are lying. They may not know it because they’re told to say that in all their seminars…but they are still lying. If a product really works, it will work regardless if you buy the less effective product sitting next to it. Remember, it’s their job to get you to buy as much as possible, so take everything they say with a grain of salt and try not to feel too pressured when they step on your heels as you stroll around the counter.

7. If it sounds too good to be true…

You know the rest. The only things cosmetics companies are required to tell you on the packaging are the ingredients. After that, they can say anything they want about what those ingredients do. I wish I could vouch for the integrity of the cosmetics industry, but it is an industry and their goal is to get you to buy their product. You know those creams that reverse aging? How about the foundation that self-adjusts to your skin type or the lighting, the serum that can alter the cellular makeup of your skin, and (let’s not forget!) this week’s newly discovered “miracle ingredient?” I want to believe. I really do. But if these products really did everything they claim, they would cost a lot more and most women in the world would be using them. And remember, every magazine that promotes a new product was paid to do it. I know, it hurts my feelings too.  But nothing can reverse aging but a talented doctor with a scalpel. We can just do the best we can to enhance and care for what we have.

8. I know I said I’d only subject you to 7 bold-faced headings in this list, but I lied.

Lastly, don’t be intimidated. You can feel confident in the makeup or skincare aisle, and you don’t need to spend a fortune. Just peruse some of the websites below and you’ll see! I simply don’t want anyone to go through what I went through: ten years of trial-and-error that showed on my face which wreaked havoc on my self-concept. My face and I are very happy now, and we want you to be too.

Please take a look at Paula Begoun’s highly effective website http://www.cosmeticscop.com/. Ms. Begoun’s website continues to be an excellent resource for me. She reviews all brands on a product-by-product basis, picking them apart and comparing companies’ claims to their products’ actual effectiveness.

A slightly harder to navigate but still resourceful website entitled Truth In Aging can be found at http://www.truthinaging.com/. It does much the same as Paula Begoun’s site. It’s just always nice to have a second opinion.

Here is an article entitled “Beyond Parabens: 7 Common Cosmetic Ingredients You Need To Avoid” located at http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/08/beyond-parabens.php. There are a number of very current articles just like this scattered throughout Treehugger.com.

And, as always, if you want to read entries from people who rate things violently and often, you won’t get anything more honest than the product-by-product reviews at http://sephora.com/.
