This month, as Cal Exotics Sexperts™, we were sent another great product to review. Each product will be rated using The Love Bird’s Feathers Rating Scale™:
1  = ”not so hot” to
5 = “extremely hot”
“The hotter the product is, the more feathers it will take to cool you off!”
This month we are reviewing a new product called ”Ecstasy”. Ecstasy is an “elegantly understated” personal dual massager from California Exotic Novelties’ Petite Couture Collection™. “Elegance, power, innovation and passion inspired the Couture Collection™”. This product is great!
It is made from “the finest medical grade Silicone from Japan”. It has a sleek power pack that shows the seven functions of stimulation (vibration, pulsation and escalation) as well as three speeds of shaft rotation. It has “feather touch controls with luminous light”. The Ecstasy is 4.75 inches long and weighs 8 oz. It takes 3 AAA batteries and has an automatic on/off button.
It’s soft, pliable, flexible and unscented. And another bonus…it’s water proof which can take bath time to a whole new and fun level! According to the package, “Couture’ is simply the best”. And we happen to agree!!
Therefore, we give the Ecstasy™: ! It’s extremely hot!!

We have already learned so much about the bonds of love … Hundreds of studies tell us, for example, that love is an exquisitely logical survival code and that the ability to reach out, clearly state your emotional needs and respond to your lover’s emotional need for comfort, reassurance and connection is the key ingredient in love. … -once we understand the bonds of love, then we can actively shape these bonds in a way that is new for human lovers. We can have love that lasts a lifetime. ~ Sue Johnson

This month is all about love. Valentine’s Day is coming up and love is in the air! We aren’t opposed to Valentine’s Day but we certainly hope that you are showing your partner love all year long…every day…not just when the stores and advertisements say you should. We recommend you get started now, instead of waiting until the 14th. Here are some tips that can show your partner that love is indeed in the air:
-
Know your partner’s love language. If you don’t know it or know what we are talking about, then we recommend the book, The Five Love Languages, by Dr. Gary Chapman. Dr. Chapman explains that there are five love languages or ways to show love: words of affirmation, gifts, quality time, physical touch, and acts of service. Problems can occur when we show our partner love in one language (i.e. buying her flowers) but he/she speaks another love language (i.e. wanting to spend quality time with you instead).
-
Start secretly showing love for your partner in small ways every single day using their love language. Have fun trying to think of new ways to express your love. For some ideas, see # 3.
-
Remember, expressing love for your partner does not have to cost money! Write your partner love notes and hide them (of course, where you know they will find them). Give your partner lots of hugs and kisses when they first wake up, when they get home, and before they go to sleep. Tell your partner the many reasons why you love them. Write them a love letter or poem. Do one of their chores each day, etc.
-
Plan a surprise “pleasure event” every week for your partner. For example, how about surprising your partner with a bubble bath with rose petals, candles, soft music, and a glass of wine? Or maybe cooking a nice dinner for your partner and serving it to him/her naked or in sexy lingerie? Plan a romantic picnic on the living room floor while listening to your special love songs or reading erotic stories to each other. How about surprising your partner by trying something new sexually (i.e. a new toy, a new position or a new sexual fantasy character, etc.)?
-
Remember to be thankful for your partner every day!
Wishing you more connection and much love!

This month we celebrate Thanksgiving. This is a time for us to stop and give thanks for all our blessings. What a great time to also give thanks to your partner for all the blessings he/she brings to your life. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we have compiled a small list of ways to show gratitude and appreciation to your partner:
- Tell your partner that you love and appreciate them every morning when you wake up.
- Make a list of 10 things that you appreciate about your partner and give it to them.
- Make a list of romantic things to say to your partner and say them throughout the month.
- Write your partner a thank you/love letter.
- Write love notes to your partner and hide them around your house.
- Give your partner a thank you massage.
- Give your partner an inexpensive gift of appreciation everyday (ie. a single flower, etc.).
- Plan a romantic “thank you” picnic for your partner at home.
- Help your partner by doing some of his/her chores.
- Surprise your partner with a “pleasure event” planned just for him/her.
These are just a few ways to give thanks and show appreciation to your partner. We encourage you to continue adding to this list with your own ways of giving thanks. Our hope and recommendation is that you not only give thanks to your partner this month but that you express your appreciation and gratitude to him/her everyday. We wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving! Enjoy!

This month, as Cal Exotics Sexperts™, we were sent another great product to review. Again, we had our testers “test drive”, so to speak, one of the new Cal Exotics products and we will share the review with you.
Each product will be rated using The Love Bird’s Feathers Rating Scale™:
1 = ”not so hot” to
5 = “extremely hot”
“The hotter the product is, the more feathers it will take to cool you off!”
 This month we received a new product called iTap™. This is the world’s first touch activated “G” vibe. This vibrator has 5 functions of “vibration, pulsation and escalation“. There are no button or switches. All you have to do is “Just Tap ’n go!” On the package, it states, “Tap me, I vibrate. Tap me twice, I pulsate.” Sounds great, right? This 6 inch vibrator is sleek, seamless and very soft to the touch. It is light weight and requires 2 AA batteries. The tip is bent slightly to stimulate the “G-spot”.
So, what did our testers (a couple) say? Well, to sum it up, the couple was not “real crazy about it”. The woman reported that she liked the different modes but “did not feel any different sensation with the hook on the end”. Both the man and the woman agreed that it was “difficult to keep it on one mode” and that “it was easy to change the mode when we didn’t want it changed.” The woman did report that this was the first time using this product but would definitely try using it again.
Therefore, we give the iTap™: . Remember, not every woman has a “G-spot”, thus the iTap™ can be used for fun clitoral stimulation.

This month we received a new product called My Mini-Miracle Massager™Wand. On the package, it states, “Experience Soothing Resonating Vibrations.” That sounded good to us! This mini-massager has a soft, flexible tip, multi-speed high intensity motor and can be used in or out of the water.
When we first saw this massager wand, we knew couples would be comfortable with it. It’s very simple and easy to use, without any unnecessary bells and whistles. It is well made, light weight and requires 2 AA batteries. This is a great product for first-time users wanting to explore the use of vibrators. Just make sure you use a water-based lubricant due to the rubber tip.
So, what did our testers (a couple) say? Well, to sum it up, the woman loved it! She liked the texture and flexibility of the tip as well as the varying speeds. He liked the simplicity of the wand and also liked that it was waterproof. Both liked the look of the wand and did not feel intimated. In addition, both liked how it could be used as a whole body massager as well as clitoral stimulator.
Therefore, we give the My Mini-Miracle Massager™Wand:
. This “mini-miracle” would make an “extremely hot” gift!
