1. Better Performance

High end sex toys have more powerful and quieter motors, which means more stimulation and better orgasms. Also, someone in the next room won't hear what you are up to! Better motors also have more speeds and settings so you have more variety. Many luxury vibrators have remote controls that make it easier to use alone or with a partner.

2. More Discreet

These adult toys don’t look like sex toys. They are discreet and erotic objects of…

When people hear that I write novels for teenagers, they often respond with a question that I find ever so slightly disingenuous: “How can you remember all that stuff?”

I really shouldn’t accuse complete strangers of lying to my face. After all, it’s hard to think of something to say when someone tells you her profession (“You’re a lawyer? That must be so…interesting”), and people might feel that a simple, “Cool” will…

When I was in junior high school, I had an art teacher named Mr. Loften.  I was thinking about him yesterday and marveling at just how cool this guy was.

What got me reminiscing was a writing exercise.  I'm taking a class at Gotham Writer's Workshop, and yesterday our instructor asked us to "remember a place from your childhood that was special to you, and write a description of it."

My fellow students opened their…

With a daughter in middle school, I am reminded daily that being 13 is the worst age to be, followed closely by 12, 14, and 15.  I’ve often said there isn’t enough money in the world to convince me to redo those awful years.

I see Elliott struggle with self-esteem, body image, and with social…

Today is my high school homecoming.  For the past several years, I have made the pilgrimage home to partake in the festivities with my friends.

The weekend starts with pre-parade cocktails, followed by a ringside seat on the parade route.  After the parade, it’s on to a late lunch…followed by…

This week, I’m counseling debate camp.  I’m back in the brick buildings of my high school, selling incoming freshman on the merits of giving up weekends and school nights for tournaments and researching.  I’m telling them about the friendships they’ll make, the community they’ll be a part of, the ways debate will benefit them in the…

Picture this…..your sixteen year old comes home and says, “I want to talk to you and I really want you to listen and think seriously about what I’m going to say.” What is the first thing that goes through your mind? I know…me too…..you hold your breath for a minute and hope for the best…right!?  You just…

If I had to

start writing a blog what would I write about? You see, I am an

Israeli-American woman, who is never sure where she should be living, in the US

or in Israel. It seems that my feelings are always divided, influenced by the

politics (sometimes like it here, sometimes there), the time of the year (I

vote for winters over there, while summers definitely for the Northwest), Holidays

(definitely like it there. Oh wait, I just remembered how I hated…

The other morning, I awoke to a cold, rainy day. I got the kids off to school and made the long commute to my office via the staircase. I sat at my desk, my coffee in my hands and my feet propped up, listening to the rain. It was a few minutes before 7:00a and it was still dark outside. I knew any motivation I might have to get dressed and go to the gym was slowly fading away. I needed to do something to cheer me up a little, and to keep me from commuting back to my bedroom and crawling…

There were three things I promised myself I would never write about when I started my blog…first, I would never write about my mother…second, I would never write anything that would cost me a presidential election…and last, I would never write about sex.
