To the long list of health benefits tea provides, add one more: It boosts the libido. Well, maybe not all tea. But definitely this tea. "Get Passionate" is number 17 in a new line from The Republic of Tea (some others, for example: "Get Gorgeous," "Get Charged," "Get Happy," "Get a Grip," etc). And the label says:

"Crafted from organic rooibos, it includes exotic muira puama bark and ashwagandha root, both said to invigorate a lagging libido. And, we've added Peruvian maca root. Revered as an aphrodisiac, let's just say it's popular for stimulating sexual desires."

Bottoms up!

A while back I attended the stationery show at New York's Javits Center. It's where I found this funny greeting card. I also discovered the sweet and simple Stop & Kiss card game:

To be honest, it's not terribly orginal (see here, also here). But a new study says that couples who play together stay together, so who's dealin'?

I thought it might be fun for us to start by playing our own mini-version right here. I'll start:

I like when he surprises me by cleaning the apartment when I'm out. Coming home to a clean apartment is the best. (I know, I'm so romantic.)

I don't actually want to be anyone else, but it would be fantastic to go out for martinis with Donatello from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Joni Mitchell, Harriet Tubman and Anne Frank (but not all at once... and not in the same week either 'cause that sounds like a hangover and a half)..

Your turn!

I've heard of stick-on undies.  I've even heard of candy undies.  But what about these strapless undies?

Seriously...  At this point, why bother?

When it comes to the One Man Shy lamp, it's okay to push his button(s).  In fact, he gets really, um, well... turned on.  Har har.

 

What do you need when you write a blog called Sex on My Desk?  Why, a condom paper weight:

...But of course!

I'm hesitant to write about this product here since I know my brother-in-law reads my blog and this gift is so perfect for him (his birthday is next month).  YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. STOP READING NOW. SPOILER ALERT!

With the 8-bit Dynamic Life t-shirts*, you can wear your heart(s) on your... chest.  As you and your guy move closer to one another, you each get more hearts:

"Buy one of these glowing shirts for yourself, and gift one to your significant other (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, fembot 2000...). During your normal activities two and a half pixelated hearts will light up on your shirt. Hey... you're depressed and in need of a recharge. But get within hugging distance of your significant other wearing the matching shirt and suddenly the hearts on both of your shirts start to light up until you're fully powered up."

  *NOTE: They're not sold as a set. You have to buy two. Or one and and extra transmitter (which you can put on your Wii, for example--YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE).

Customize your Web page. Customize your car. Customize your shoes. Customize your candy. Customize your laptop.

Customize your... sex toys?

Yes! And this is much better than merely adding Swarovski crystals (which, let's face it, just sounds dangerous). Introducing... Sasi:

"SaSi has two modes. In Natural Mode SaSi does what it is told. It comes pre-programmed with 5 movements, which are easily selected by navigating left or right."

But here's where you should pay attention:

"In Learn Mode SaSi gradually morphs from one movement to another, trying new sensations. If you dislike a particular movement simply skip to the next one. SaSi will remember this and is less likely to use it again. If SaSi creates a sensation you really like, press the “don’t stop” button. SaSi will remember and use it again next time. Just like a good partner, SaSi gives a different experience every time whilst still incorporating the movements you like best."

A "don't stop" button?? Tracey Cox has always preached that men should not be intimidated by vibrators, but that was until Sasi came along... Intimidated? At this rate boyfriends may become altogether obsolete!

what's this?

How well do you know your girlfriends? Neighbors? Husband? Here's your chance to find out. At your next dinner party or girls' night in, play Loaded Questions... Adult Version (cue porn music—bow chicka bow bow).

You ask your opponents questions such as "What television show would you watch if it had full nudity?" or "What would it take for you to have a same-sex affair?" Then they each write down their answers, one person reads them all out loud—and you have to guess whose response is whose. (Oh, yeah, and you also move around the playing board, but really, who cares about that part?)
