Workshops with Andrea Zanin
Our favourite pervert is coming back to Halifax this November for a 3-day workshop series!GETTING YOUR GIRL (and What to Do with Her Once You&apsve Got Her): A Workshop for Women
Thursday, November 5th, 8pmLadies, has the idea of playing with women always intrigued you? Are you raring to go, but can&apst find the starting line? Don&apst worry. Every successful Sapphic seductress started out wet ... behind the ears. Whether you&apsre cruising for sex, SM play or a little of everything, you&apsll find a ton of tips and tricks in this informative workshop led by an experienced lover of the ladies. Find out where to go, how to flirt, and what girls really do in bed together. Come prepared with your questions and concerns — this will be an interactive workshop with plenty of time for discussion.
FLOGGING WITH FLAIR!
Friday, November 6th, 8pmFloggers look really sexy, but how do you use those things, anyway? Whether you&apsre turned on by dominance and submission or you simply think you&apsd like the feeling of administering or receiving a solid sensual beating, flogging might be for you. In this workshop, we&apsll take a hands-on approach for beginners: why you might like to flog or be flogged, how to aim a flogger (and all the delicious places to aim at), the many ways to use a flogger, and best of all, what it feels like! We&apsll also cover ways to pick a flogger you&apsll like, how to care for and store a flogger, and a few interesting tricks and tips help you find your personal style. Bring your own flogger if you have one!
THE DANCE OF D/s: Cultivating Dominant and Submissive Body Language
Saturday, November 7, 7pmA dominant / submissive dynamic can be a beautiful thing to experience and to watch. The flow of power between two or more people is a lot like a dance — in fact, specific physical motions and positions can lend D/s much of its flavour and beauty. This class will explore the use of body language to reinforce your dominant/submissive dynamic, focusing on grace, subtlety, confidence and attentiveness for both dominants and submissives. There will be lots of opportunities to try out physical exercises to get you started on developing your own smooth dance of power. Areas we&apsll cover include opening doors / walking through, kneeling / receiving kneeling, handing something over to be taken / gracefully taking, assistance with dressing and undressing, walking, sitting, waiting, voice, touch, sex and play. Great for couples and groups; solo participants are welcome.

New products
Vamp Silicone - a brand new toy company with hot new designs!
The Talulas are nothing short of a revolution in dildo design. Made
specifically for harness use, they sit at a delightfully acute angle
that gives the wearer excellent control over where their cock is at all
times, not to mention a perky upright package that&apss perfect for G-spot
or P-spot play. The Talulas come in two sizes and two textures: the
regular silicone is medium density with moderate give and the softskin
versions have a velvety outer layer that&apss pretty plush.
Elvis is available in both regular and softskin. Both have lovely,
large, three-dimensional balls that are worn on the outside of a harness
to realistic effect. Vamp calls the Elvis&aps angle "anatomically-erect"
and it sure hits the spot. A little firmer than the Talulas, and a bit
heavy in a harness.
Carina is quite simply the biggest 100% silicone dil we carry. Nine girthy inches of softskin, &apsnuf said.
Bella packers are soft enough to pack but firm enough to play with. As packing toys go, both the small and large Bella are on the bigger side making for a sometimes obvious bulge (you&apsve been warned). But the fact that you can play with them, and that they won&apst get sticky or disintegrate like non-silicone packers make them worth the crotch stares.
(The elivis softskin and talula softskin are available online now, for now the others are available in our stores only.)
Top Love Taps
Every Friday, sex educator and author Patrick Califia answers a question from our customers on the Venus Envy website as the Venus Envy Advisor. This is a very popular feature of our site, but we thought it would be fun to bring you the &apsbest of&aps every newsletter. The letter below was our favorite from the past couple of months—enjoy!
I&apsve always been proud of my ability to have more than one orgasm. When I masturbate, I like to have enough time so that I can count the climaxes and see how high I can go. But I wish I&apsd never told my boyfriend about this. It freaked him out.... » read the full question, and Patrick&apss answer
Top Love Bites
For the past few months every Thursday, burlesque star and sex educator Sasha has been answering questions in her "Love Bites" column. Unfortunately, she has stopped writing the column, and so it is with some regret that we highlight her last entry:
I was reading about the new Charter of Rights challenge by sex workers in Canada, and something struck and confused me. The article I read said that "intervention status has been granted to religious and conservative groups". WTF? ... » read the full question, and Sasha&apss answer
