I spent the weekend at a sex toy conference – ANME & Me

I spent the weekend in Los Angeles attending the ANME convention. From kicking my trip off in the car with one of my favorite Swingset gals to crashing Sex Geekdom LA, to seeing Lady Cheeky, Sunny Megatron, the SheVibe crew, Metis Black, Megan Andelloux (she complimented my blog and I lost the power of speech) Charlie Glickman and Princess Kali to being surrounded by more sex products than I’ve ever seen (and I tour sex shops!) the experience was pretty spectacular.

Because I can’t wait any longer, check out the awesomeness that came from Tantus. Check out the cool sci-fy dildos! They came from a collaboration with SheVibe– this level of awesome should surprise no one

If you have ever thought “I’d love to give JoEllen a gift” (and who hasn’t thought that?!), the nurse-themed harness, please!

Then there was the awesome (not yet available) new line from OhMiBod. While looking at the toys we kept exclaiming “Oh my God!” Causing Brian Dunham (one of the company’s founders) to say “No, OhMiBod” Yes. That really happened.

My two favorites were the Adventure and the Cuddle- Cuddle wins though because- come on!- it’s called Cuddle.

I can’t tell you what’s going on over at We-Vibe but I think it will make you happy!

Also, We-Vibe offered some assistance with the migraine I had all weekend in the form of a We-Vibe Touch to my pressure points.

Finally (find each in the pictures- this list is in on particular order!) we had Liberator wedges that come packed in a little cube, Tenga’s new vibes that look like Mochi, a beautiful new (not yet available) harness from SpareParts, some whimsical ceramic pieces (from folks who were so convinced that they were the first with the idea that they corrected me when I told them how much I love the ceramic toy I already own), a sea of Fun Factory’s Stronic pulsators, soap in delightfully dirty packaging, my newest friend from Jimmyjane- the Form 4, The Revel Body (aka, that round vibe from the Indiegogo campaign), Crave who let me build my own vibe, Vibratex with The Hitachi Original Magic Wand, Sportsheets – I’m sorry, the Best Fetish Company award-winner, Sportsheets, Aneros (where I finally met the illustrious CT!) and so much Sliquid I thought I was in lube heaven!

    I love how clean Tantus’ booth is. It’s just like, “we don’t need to bombard you with THINGS because we are just straight up awesome no matter what.”

    I’m intrigued by that strange toy from OhMiBod with the bumps. Smile?

    some whimsical ceramic pieces (from folks who were so convinced that they were the first with the idea that they corrected me when I told them how much I love the ceramic toy I already own)

    Why am I not at all surprised.

    I like the look of those ceramic toys. They remind me of ceramic dildos on Etsy 🙂 Were there any with a motor?

    I see FF is not showing Drei yet. IMHO it looks like the best one of their line. I wish I got it for testing instead of Zwei.
