“‘Wouldn’t it be cool if you could fuck yourself with your foot?’ That was the birth of Heeldo,” co-founder Joe Wilson said.

The query came from Wilson’s business partner, Heeldo cofounder Drew Conner.

“I knew he was on to something since there was nothing like it currently in the marketplace,” Wilson said. “We did our research and after rounds of protoytpes and QA testing, we finally found a great manufacturer to create Heeldo.  We realized early on that the uses of Heeldo were pretty endless, man or woman, gay or straight, vagina or ass play, Heeldo is one of the most versatile harnesses on the market and truly the first of its kind.”

Heeldo is a strap-on dildo harness for the foot allowing for vaginal, clitoral or anal stimulation.  It slides on the foot like a sock and a dildo protrudes out of the back of the harness — where the wearer’s heel is. The user can then sit, squat and bounce on their favorite harness-friendly dildo.

According to the Wilson, Heeldo has embarked on a promotional quest with its latest effort set for Feb. 10 when Heeldo’s owners will be interviewed live for Playboy Radio. The company also is hosting a launch party that night at the Casting Office Bar in Hollywood, Calif.

Sadie and Mary Scott strapped on the latest harness kit by Tantus and had a great time. Check out their review:

My partner and I are always looking for new and improved strap-on kits. It’s been hard for us to find a harness that stays put and doesn’t chafe the wearer’s legs. Most of them are cheaply made, and despite promises on the packing, don’t live up to our real-world tests.

This is totally not the case with the Bend Over Intermediate Kit from Tantus. We’re both big fans of Tantus’s high-quality ultra-premium silicone dildos and knowing that we could use our already purchased Tantus products with this harness made it a logical purchase. The kit itself even comes with two more silicone dildos in 5- and 7-inch models.

The real kicker here, however, is the plush harness. Covered in a velvet-like material, the harness is very soft to the touch — and very soft on my lady parts during a high-friction lovemaking session. The straps, which fit up to 60-inch hips for all you big girls that have trouble finding a harness, hold everything in place snugly. The harness also contains a pocket for a bullet vibe totally enhancing the experience.

Without a doubt, the quality of this kit put it over the top. It’s definitely earned a spot in our toy chest and will be making frequent appearances from now on.

Do: Clean up.

I left a bullet vibe, bottle of lube and giant stainless steel dildo next to my bed and managed not to notice them as I prepped for a date a few nights ago.

At this point a pink silicone dildo has become as common a decor element as a table lamp, but I find it somewhat tragic that I’m more likely to straighten out my slightly crooked bath mat than put away my arsenal of sex toys before the guest(s) arrive.

The bedroom was the last part of my apartment tour, and I almost choked on my gum when I saw the sexual still life sitting on my bedside table. I had 20 seconds to do one of three things:

1. Suddenly remember I left the stove on and ask him to help me turn it off.
2. Faint.
3. Continue with the tour and hope he doesn’t look to his left.

I chose option 3, and as he checked out a painting on my wall I stealthily knocked the dildo under my bed (careful to muffle the noise) and hoped the guy would assume the purple egg-shaped object was a cat toy, and the bottle next to it some kind of hand lotion.

He looked to his left but managed not to lock eyes on anything other than me. If he did notice the sex toy arrangement, he made no comment, facial expression or physical recoil to make it obvious, and the fact that he still wanted to take me out for cookies and conversation made it clear he’s probably a good guy.

He hasn’t asked me out on a second date yet though. I hope he does.

I work in the adult industry. That doesn’t mean I make porn. That doesn’t mean I’m a porn star, and it certainly doesn’t mean I’m obsessed with porn. The adult industry is like a big umbrella, and underneath are several areas of business, each very different and separate from each other:

• RETAIL — think the Gap, Target and little cute boutiques you find in quaint neighborhoods, but instead of selling clothes and overpriced nick-knacks, they sell vibrators, lingerie and DVDs.
• SEX TOYS — the design, production, marketing and development of vibrators, dildos, lingerie and any other product made for sexual or sensual use.
• PORN — porn stars, sets, camera men, studios, the whole 9 yards. It’s a significant part of the adult industry, but it’s not the ONLY part of the industry.
• THE INTERNET — this is a whole other world of adult that isn’t directly related to porn. There’s billing (the companies that enable you to buy stuff online), web marketing (the companies that make the flashy ads you see all over the gossip blogs you visit at work), graphic design and a slew of other businesses that make the adult industry exist on the Internet.
• MEDIA — that’s me.

I work for a publishing house that writes news articles, publishes features articles, and hosts conferences that help adult companies run their businesses. Porn fans not only aren’t interested in us, they likely don’t know we exist. We produce magazines of interest to the folks porn fans DO know: Hustler, BangBros, Playboy and the companies that have pornified all the wholesome television we grew up loving. Think “Seinfeld,” “Gilligan’s Island” and “The Brady Bunch” but with cumshots. (Yeah I don’t want to think about it, either.)

We also produce magazines for all the other business that fit under that adult umbrella. That means I work with retailers, product manufacturers, designers — all kinds of folks. And that DOESN’T mean I’m a nympho who spends 9-5 in front of a television or computer screen. I’ve never been much of a porn fan, and if anything this job has turned me off completely. Whatever it does for you does the opposite for me.

Dating me doesn’t mean you’ve finally found a chick willing to watch that shit with you. Yes you’ve found a girl who won’t freak out when she finds “Ass Fixation 7″ or “Cum Crusaders 14″ in your sock drawer — but please don’t suggest we stay in on Friday night to check out the newest “Harry Potter” parody. (That includes “Hairy Potter,” “Harry Pornher” and “Whorry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Balls.”) That is the LAST thing I want to do, and I promise a BJ-free weekend as a result.

Chances are Gap employees don’t fold their shirts when they go home; mailmen don’t spend their weekends organizing stamp collections; optometrists don’t always wear glasses. And did you ever notice that manicurists often have dirty, broken fingernails?

It’s a job, people, not a lifestyle.

When you break up with someone, there often are leftover artifacts that unbearably remind you of the happier times of the relationship. Some common items:

• the blanket you cuddled under on cold days
• the giant sweatshirt you wore on fat days
• the pillow you used to prop up your hips on sex days

My breakup wasn’t dramatic, it wasn’t soul scarring, and it certainly wasn’t an event that left either of us crying alone in a corner humming “our song” and burning old photos. So when I see various objects around the house that remind me of my former love, I feel perfectly fine.

But I’ve realized there’s one item that hits a nerve, and not in a good way. It’s my big blue dildo.

Let me explain.

When he and I first got together, it was after a tight two-year friendship and we were as close as you could get to being gf/bf minus the sex. So when we found our first summer as a couple was to be spent 3,000 miles apart (him in L.A., me in NYC) we were bummed.

A few weeks into my big-city summer, I found myself wandering the Lower East Side and into a store called Babes in Toyland (now known simply as Babeland). This was my first introduction to the world of sex toys.

I was inspired to find a dildo that resembled the shape of my beau’s tool. That led me to Dino (manufacturer’s name, not mine), a solid silicone item made to last forever.

Dino went from the summer’s boyfriend replacement to a regular fixture in our bedroom for years following his purchase.

SIDENOTE: Dildos are great with oral sex. Start practicing, guys, she’ll think you’re a god.

Dino still sits in my toy chest today, as solid and blue as the day I bought him. He has roommates now — pink ones, wood ones, curvy ones — but despite his foolproof ability, I’ve consciously bypassed his little velvet pouch.

Partly because of Dino’s physical likeness to my former beau, and partly due to the slew of wonderful memories he triggers.

But I think the most painful is the realization that this dildo, made to withstand years of use and abuse, will always be there. It won’t deteriorate over time. It won’t crumble or dissolve, and it’ll always make me feel good. It guarantees everything that a relationship can’t.

I have finally found the perfect dildo for ravers, burners and anyone else attracted to glow-in-the-dark paraphernalia. The Glo is a white contoured, 100-percent pure silicone dildo that happens to glow in the dark when you insert a glow stick (five bracelet-length ones are included when you first purchase the toy).

The stick, once bent and shaken and inside the Glo, is secured by a bottom piece that more than slightly resembles a nipple. After that you’re all good to glow, meaning that you’re ready to enjoy your very own light-saber-like dildo.

Besides the light saber effect, which is the ultimate of its selling points, the Glo is well thought out, with a head that’s thicker than the mid-section and base. In addition to the thicker head, the first inch of the toy also has a smart, slight curve upward — making G-spot play nice and easy. Plus, the silicone was a nice combination of hard with a touch of softness (you can bend the dildo at its thin midsection), which provides a pleasant texture for inside my vagina.

The only thing to make sure of when using this toy is that the nipple-like cap is all the way up, and “locked” in place (the toy doesn’t actually lock), before you start to maneuver it inside of you. Nothing bad will likely happen if it’s not in place, but the glow stick could fall out, and if you’re not careful, a slight glow stick accident could occur. Of course, you never want to stick the glow stick up you, just the pretty dildo. So next time you want a quality dildo that can light the way for you at night, don’t be afraid to go with the Glo.

From the mind of a good friend who loves her G-spot possibly a little too much:

The Climax Silicone wavy shaft was truly a wonder from the very beginning. You can tell that it is a high quality toy before you even open the box, and once you have it in your hands you can feel the weight of the solid silicone and the smoothness of its “skin.” This toy is shaped beautifully. The curved tip flares up to hit your G-spot and the shaft is nice and thick, giving you that great full feeling that you don’t always get with other dildos. The best thing that this little beauty brings to the table is the ultra powerful bullet vibrator. This vibe can be used in two ways: you can either place it in the handle of the toy to make the entire thing vibrate, or you can use the bullet on your clit while simultaneously using the Climax to stimulate your G. This second method made me cum multiple times in one night, and this toy has quickly moved to the top of my favorites list! A final plus is the satin bag that comes in the package for storage. I always like to know that once I clean my toys, they’re going to say clean, and out of sight. This is a great, high-quality dildo that has a few surprises up its sleeve — I definitely recommend it!

I hear countless stories about dudes who are threatened by sex toys.

Common quote-worthy comments:

• “My chick doesn’t need that.”
• “A real man doesn’t need a toy to make his chick cum”
• “She’s gonna love that rabbit more than me.”

Sure, sex toys are fun to use solo, but that DOESN’T mean they’re made to be penis/tongue/boyfriend replacements. In fact, they’re sometimes more fun to use in groups of two or more, and it’s not just for the ladies to enjoy. Think of them as sex tools, not sex substitutes.

VIBRATORS – Teasing is stellar foreplay. A vibrator can tingle parts of your body you’d never think to touch and set your mind into sex-mode fast. Run it along the neck, collarbone, inner thighs and forearms — add some lube and the buzzing sensation feels quite nice on and around the balls, taint and penis. When it’s time to get down to business, don’t put it away just yet. Vibing on the clit makes orgasms cum come quicker.

DILDOS - Using dildos in the bedroom isn’t reserved only for our lesbian friends. Sure, you’ve got a working cock, and that’s great — when we’re fucking. The best oral sex I’ve ever had was from a guy who used his right hand to prop himself up and his left to slowly (and then faster, faster, faster) fuck me with a dildo. It sounds complicated, but it’s not rocket science. I came hard and fast every time, and he felt like a hero.

COCKRINGS – Cockrings aren’t just for men who “can’t keep it up.” These stretchy rings have come a long way, and now there are designs on the market that not only help keep him harder longer, but also feature little vibrators that hit the clit each time he thrusts. It’s a win-win situation, so even if you don’t “need” a cockring, there’s still reason to give one a try. And don’t be scared — cockrings aren’t supposed to feel tight, and your nuts aren’t going to fall off if you wear it for 15 minutes. If it’s uncomfortable, go buy a bigger size and give yourself a high-5 when she’s not looking.

There are way too many toys to list here, so I suggest you check out the options online and see what catches your eye. But remember: Much like lube isn’t for defective vaginas, vibrators, dildos and other toys aren’t made to replace inadequate lovers.

If you’re convinced otherwise, call me when you get some confidence and a clue. It’s sex. Loosen up a little; it makes it easier to enjoy the ride. Besides, everyone knows real men are good with their hands and know their way around a tool toy box.

I’ve got a lot of toys and not a lot of places to put them. I’ve had one small carrying case for a couple of years now, and as my arsenal grew, the zipper refused to close. Now that’s no way to keep my special toys clean and protected!

The XL Adult ToyBox is like an attaché case with Velcro strips to stick a series of six clear pouches and six loops (great to hang feathers and floggers) and customize its organization. I can fill a smaller pouch with lube pillow packs, a larger pouch with lube bottles (protecting the rest of my gear in case one leaks) and put all kinds of smaller bullet vibes, condoms, clamps and mini pump cups (yep, got those, too) and anything else that might get lost floating around a big bag under the bed.

I’ve also got several dildos, each in its own velvet satchel, that also need to fit in there, and because the pouches can be arranged to my liking (it’s like adult Tetris!) everything fits like a glove. Lying flat, it’s only a few inches tall, so it slides under my bed perfectly, and two handles — one on its side and the other at the top — makes it easy to transport to slumber parties.
