On is a proprietary blend of unique essential oils that creates a powerful sensation some women say is unlike any other. A one or two-drop application of the menthol-free oil to the clitoris causes a warm, tingling feeling that increases a woman’s desire to have sex.

“You’re horny,” Sensuva co-owner Patty Callahan said. “It makes you want to have an orgasm.”

To test the effects of the oil on a woman’s genitalia, the company asked people to put a dab of it on the inside of their bottom lip.

“It reaches the mucosa membrane, and you wait a few minutes and you begin to have a pulsating, electrifying feel,” Sensuva’s Joey Wilson said.

 Another test of On’s power to “flip a switch” is to put a drop on the tip of the tongue. Some have compared the sensation it generates to that of a 9-volt battery.

“It doesn’t over-stimulate you. It’s like you’ve already been having sex,” said Callahan, who has test-marketed On to dozens of women of varying ages. “You experience a lot of vaginal lubrication immediately.”

She continued, “The stimulation lasts for 30 to 45 minutes. You ride a wave with it.”

Callahan said women using the product have consistently reported “quicker, better and stronger orgasms.”

“Because you’re so clitorally stimulated that vaginally you’re very ready to have an orgasm,” she said. “This isn’t like some of the other products that do something for you, and then there’s the crash. The big difference is that wave, it keeps you there. It’s a more heightened feeling, but you’re not overly stimulated. That combo is so hard to get.”

Sensuva’s third co-owner Ron Anderson has known Wilson for 15 years and brought his rich background in cosmetic skin care to Sensuva, which is based in Valencia, Calif. Anderson already manufactures a complete line of wellness products called VieNue that are available in drugstores and pharmacies across the country. He said On is “100 percent natural.”

“It isn’t a chemical compound,” Anderson said. “There is no cooling sensation. It’s not water-based. It’s gel quality. It doesn’t drip.”

Anderson said they took extra care to create a formula that is even pleasant to taste. “It’s a cinnamon and ginger type of taste,” he said, adding that it is completely safe if consumed. “You could drink the whole bottle and nothing would happen.”

Callahan explained that some women have experienced positive results from applying On about an hour before sexual activity, while others have actually applied it in the morning before they go to work, keeping them in the mood until they get home.

The dosage is no more than two drops; for the beginner, just a drop is recommended. There are 50 applications in one bottle, and Sensuva’s point-of-purchase counter display holds 12 bottles.

“A girl can put it in her purse and no one has an idea what it is,” Wilson said.

Researchers at UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine conducted two new studies, focusing on the fact that HIV infection risk rises if other infections are already present in the rectal lining of the receptive partner, the researchers said.

The first two-year study, based on approximately 900 people, observed that men and women who use lubricants in general are three times more likely to have some form of a rectal sexually transmitted infection.

Most participants, 76 percent,  said they used a water-based lubricant, while 28 percent used silicon-based products, 17 percent used oil-based lubricants and six percent used a numbing lubricant.

The second study was conducted by reproductive specialist Charlene Dezzutti at the University of Pittsburg. Her team, including collaborators from International Rectal Microbicides Advocates, studied the effects of six most popular lubricants on rectal cells and tissues.

They found that some of the lubricants had a toxic effect on cells and rectal tissue. Researchers found high concentrations of dissolved salts and sugars that draw water out of cells, weakening and even killing the cells. Some of the lubricants even stripped away the layer of cells that serve as a protective barrier.

PRE and Wet Platinum were found to be the safest lubricants in terms of toxicity, while Astroglide and KY Jelly appeared to be the most problematic. ID Glide and Elbow Grease had intermediate effects, the team found. None of the lubricants was found to have measurable anti-HIV activity.

Lubricant safety advocates say conclusions can’t be made based on these small studies.

“Further research is absolutely necessary to understand the potential role of sexual lubricants in HIV transmission,” said Marc-Andre LeBlanc of IRMA. “We should be able to provide consumer guidance regarding lubes that are found to be safer than others.”

“We must ensure that existing lubes don’t facilitate HIV transmission,” IRMA chair Jim Pickett said. “People have a right to this kind of information, and it’s very past due.”

According to IRMA, statistics suggest that as many as 90 percent of gay men practice anal sex and 35 percent of women have participated in anal sex at least once. The majority of sexes are thought to use lubricants more often than condoms.

“Retrevo found that almost half of social-media users check in via phone while lying in bed. About 48% of those polled said they check or update Facebook or Twitter after they’ve gotten into bed at night and/or before they get out of bed in the morning. That number jumps to 76% for the 25-and-younger set, with a whopping 19% of those millennials saying they also check in whenever they wake up during the night.”

Okay … not shocking. However,…

AdAge.com says if you’re younger than 25, one in 10 of you would respond to a text message during sex.

Luckily, some of us get wiser with age as AdAge said that only 6 % of the older 25-plus respondents said they’d respond to a text during sex.

What could possibly be that important?

“Olympic condoms?” she asks, “What makes them so special?”

“There are three colors,” he replies, “Gold, Silver and Bronze.”

“What color are you going to wear tonight?” she asks cheekily.

“Gold of course,” says the man proudly.

The wife responds, “Really, why don’t you wear Silver, it would be nice if you came second for a change!”

Him laying with his back propped up, legs spread, gives you good support and reduces the space between you, allowing for more interaction. While he’s back there — why not a good massage? Your back, butt, neck … Maybe a little hair-tugging to really intensify the moment.

This is a great position when you — the one on top — is aiming to please, but that does involve some work on your part! While you’re on top, your hands and feet will propel you up and down on his shaft …

Nevertheless, you are in total control to make sure he hits exactly where you want. Good times!

Instead of laying on sweaty, sex-scented sheets we were surrounded by a fresh floral smell and the sheets felt as if they had been just changed. There’s powder in the spray that somehow absorbs much of the wetness that while fun to create, I’d rather not roll around in. Instead, our post-coital love fest took place on a bed of crisp freshness!

Think of Silky Sheets (and its companion pillow mist) as Febreze’s sexy cousin.

(As noted on the back of the Silky Sheets) I couldn’t use the spray on my pillows because of its powdery consistency, and that’s why Classic Erotica created a companion pillow spray with the same lovely effects. While we spooned I dug my face into my pillow, breathed in and couldn’t help but sigh as I exhaled.

Being the skeptic that I am, I want to question the existence of the “pheromones” contained in these bottles … but really, the experience was so incredible that I’m starting to believe Classic Erotica actually found a way to bottle Eros — the Greek god of sexual love.

Bambi strolls in from a longer-than-usual lunch.

Co-worker: Oooh, where’d you go for lunch?

Bambi: (grinning) Umm..well..err…

Co-worker: (grins back) ‘nough said.

Nooners will send you back to work a completely different person. While side effects may include disheveled appearance and hunger — who cares?

Endorphins course through you and you breeze through the remainder of the day confident and elated. And no, the occasional nooner does not make you a slacker. Party pooper Prolactin, a sex hormone, rises in you immediately after an orgasm, and this is when all the stuff you have to accomplish that day flood your mind. Focused much? This might be the most productive moment of the day!

When it comes to the nooner, time is of the essence. Ideally you are a seasoned team and you know how to make this lunch break far more satisfying than any meal — and in record time. My nooner date and I save time by almost completely cutting out any type of conversation beyond “Yes, right there!” “How do you want it?” and “oohs” and “ahhs.”

Convenience also plays a very important role in the success of a nooner. The meeting place should be easily accessed — you don’t want to spend more time sitting in traffic than on your man’s face.

Lastly, if it’s just you and your too-conveniently-located home … save your lunch money, take a solo nooner break, grab a snack on the way out.

A dog-owning, cohabitating friend told me she and her significant other prefer the pooch in the bedroom to make sure it doesn’t fuck things up in the living room while they … um, fuck.

Personally, it totally wierds me out to be in the throws of passion and out of the corner of my eye see Fido sitting on the bed, chewing on my panties (true story), watching – and bouncing along with – all the action. Not because I fear Rover is going to get frisky and stir up some zoophiliac emotions in me. (Eww,) but does the animal really know what’s going on? I’ve heard some dogs whimper or will bark at the sight of their owners having sex … Why?!

Well, I did the research. So before you call The Dog Whisperer, please note:  Dogs (and other pets) are incapable of secondary emotions. And while the barking and whimpering may be a dog’s reaction to the aromas of sex or its tuned-in senses, veterinary behaviorists will tell you it has no idea you’re getting it on. So knick-knack-paddy-whack … give your dog a bone (Really. They like it.) Compromise — do it for the pet-lover on in you.
