Thanks JoyDivision for sending this product for review. A lube that helps making love naturally. Somehow I got wrangled into receiving it as a bit of a stitch up. Yesterday morning I walked into my office to see a cute little tube of BIOGlide on my desk with a post it note attached ‘Product to Review – Minimum 800 words’.
Heck I write a lot, I write articles for other blogs. Write content for websites, I write product descriptions and I send out products to our reviewers who will then look, feel, see the product and write an instructive review.
Up until now though, I have never been given or taken a product.
Chapter One – The Stitch Up!
As I picked up the cute little tube I could see across my desk Stephen having a bit of a chuckle – possibly at my expense!
I said, ‘Stephen who put this on my desk this morning?’
He said, “Your wife.”
I said, “But Stephen this is not my wife’s writing.”
He said, “Oh Yeah, it was Belinda and Maria. They were laughing whilst they were doing it.”
I said, “Right, Ok then. I had a bit of an argument with Maria last night. Hmmm.”
He said, “I thought it was something like that the way they were laughing.”
Hmmm, I thought! As I picked up and looked at the bottle.
My eyesight is not that great anymore and I could not read the smaller writing so I asked, “Is this a personal lubricant or a massage lotion or both. I can see it is water-based but if I am to do a review of the product, I guess I should know where to use it.”
Stephen took the bottle from me, examined it and said, “It’s a personal lube.”
I thanked Stephen and carried on with my work until the early afternoon when Belinda entered our office with a big smile on her face – making a surprising impression of a Cheshire cat.
I said, after picking up the BIO glide, “Did you leave this on my desk?”
She said, chuckling, “Mrs. V asked me too. She said it is something that she would really like as it is made organically”
I said, “I have no problem doing a product review and will make sure it is over 800 words but obviously you are aware that Mrs. V and I had a bit of a spat last night so I am not sure if this is the right product that either you or she wants reviewed at this particular time”.
Belinda laughed and we discussed issues relating to business.
My wife is a lover of all things natural, organic and holistic
Those words to me often mean more expensive, deceptive and no better. That is not to say that some products that are produced in their purest sense do not have health or other benefits but generally there is little oR no difference.
Our body naturally produces toxins that will kill you.
There are over 75 chemicals that are approved to use on certified organic foods and eaten by free range animals.
Of all the certified organically produced there are basically none that have not been in contact with pesticides or chemicals. But these pesticides and chemicals are restricted to a standards list both in Australia and the United States. Organic foods generally will not be processed using irradiation, industrial solvents or synthetic food additives.
Sorry I went off on a tangent then
But basically as far as foods are concerned there is little evidence to suggest that eating organic is better for you. In fact Associate Professor Samir Samman, from the School of Molecular Bioscience at the University of Sydney, says
“There is little evidence to suggest that organic food is nutritionally better than conventional food, especially in relation to fresh fruit and vegetables.”
In a major study that has been accepted for publication in the international scientific journal Critical Reviews In Food Science And Nutrition, Professor Samman and his team.
“Surveyed the international literature and critically evaluated the results”
They aren’t heartening FACTS that the organics industry wants to hear.
In fact reviews and tests have shown that many non-organic and even synthesized products contain more vitamins, are more nutritious than their ‘organic’ counterparts.
Chapter Two – BIOGlide Lubricant
So after Belinda left and with the word organic running through my mind I decided to do a bit of research on BIO Glide. This product is made by JoyDivision, not the English Rock/Pop Band of the 70’s, but the German sex toy company that has been around for over 20 years producing products for great sensuality.
JoyDivisioin takes the manufacture of their products seriously and dermatologically and clinically test all their products before release to ensure they are body-safe and skin friendly which is good to know.
Presently they have over 250 premium products in their brand that are sold in over 60 Countries worldwide. Positive social and environmental impact is at the forefront of their mission statement and they are official members of Unicef, Aidshilfe and Terre Des Hommes all organizations that ethically try to better the planet.
So the first thing I noticed on the bottle was a label saying CO2 Neutral sticker.
Mmmm, this is one I had not seen before. So a quick bit of research informs me that this is a voluntary commitment by a manufacturer. Due to unavoidable CO2 emissions made in the manufacture of this product that they will compensate by supporting a climate protection project in Bolivia.
Rick thinks to himself!!!.
You gave this product to the wrong person Mrs V and Belinda
So I research this further
Only reference to this project I can find is on the JoyDivision website from which I quote –
“Sustainable trading and a voluntary commitment to preservation of the climate are a matter of course for JOYDIVISION. Unavoidable CO2 emissions from manufacturing and transport are compensated by a climate protection project in Bolivia.
JOYDIVISION is investing there in the reforestation of native species of trees with an added social and ecological benefit. This benefits not only the climate, but also the biodiversity and the local people.”
So the CO2 sticker basically means that the manufacturer voluntarily is sending an undisclosed amount of money, or resources to reforesting Bolivia. OK, I guess that’s nice!
BIO products are said to be made of the highest standard
Being a 100% natural vegan lubricant suitable for vaginal and oral intercourse (am not sure why it cannot be used for anal sex?). It is safe to use with all sex toys and condoms and is highly effect – the catch phrase of 90% of all lubricants –
“with a little going a long way”.
What is interesting is that it is naturally certified by the BDIH.
To give you a bit of a background there were all sorts of certifications going around for sex toys and lubricants but in 2014 the German Institute of Dietary Supplements and Cosmetics developed the ‘Natural Product Standard’.
This certification offers the consumer a guarantee that the product is natural and also makes BioGlide the first lubricant classified as a ‘natural medical device’.
Additional information about BIOglide lubricant is that it is pH-optimized, developed with no animal testing, has no synthetics or chemicals in it. It has supposedly won first place in Men’s Health magazine.
But I could not find out what the competition it won or anything related to BIOglide’s win online. And a search on the Men’s Health site for bioglide came up with no results.
So let’s get to the ingredients of BIOglide.
- All water-based lubricants main ingredient is glycerin which is made from animal or vegetable fats. This is the main ingredient of BIOglide.
- Aqua – Water
- Sodium Lactate – Saline.
- Xanthan Gum – Food Additive and Thickening Agent.
- Levulinic Acid – is an organic compound with the formula CH₃CCH₂CH₂CO₂H. It is classified as a keto acid. This white crystalline solid is soluble in water and polar organic solvents.
- Sodium Levulinate – Is the salt produced by Levulinic Acid and used as a preservative and for skin care.
- Lactic Acid – is an organic compound with the formula CH₃CHCOOH. In its solid state, it is white and water-soluble. Its liquid state, it is colorless. Produced both naturally and synthetically.
Now I had researched the product and the claims that the manufacturer. It was time to do the touch taste so I removed the seal and placed the lubricant between my thumb and other fingers.
It was soft and silky the way a personal lubricant should be.
Having worked in the adult industry for close to 30 years now I have tested a few and this one felt really good. Then I dabbed a little on my tongue and it was slightly sweet – not sickly so – and certainly not unpleasant.
The next test I find the most important and that is rubbing it away with a paper towel. If it is a good lubricant there still should be a residue and surely enough the residue remained so it certainly ticks the boxes in those three tests.
So there I was looking forward to going home and as soon as we put the kids to bed taking BIOglide on a road test with Mrs. V.
Chapter Three – The Train Wreck
Getting home at 6.30pm I made a bit of an event in asking my wife how her day had been. Letting her know that I had taken home the product that I had been told to review.
Intimating how exciting it would be to road test a new lubricant. We had dear friends and their family over and it was Pizza night. They left about 8.20pm and we then powered through ‘The Block’ having pre-recorded it. For those readers not in Australia it is a type of home renovation series and by 9.40pm the kids were doing zzz’s in bed.
Excitedly I reminded Mrs. V about the product for review and she replied, “I’m too tired. Going to bed!”
Train Wrecked
With a quick peck goodnight, I poured myself another drink and watched the idiot box for another hour or so and then went to bed as well.
So unfortunately Belinda and Mrs. V I am unable to present you with a full product review at this stage but await in anticipation to be allowed the avenue to fully test it.
That will make Chapter Four of the BIOglide review for the adultsmart blog.
Chapter Four – The Pre Test
So the following night – having presented Belinda and Mrs. V with my half-completed review via email I returned home after work at about 6.15pm in the evening.
Dinner had been prepared and was awaiting serving in the oven. Mrs. V was with a friend on the balcony and I said ‘hello’ to them both giving my wife a quick peck on the lips. I began walking back to the lounge-room when Mrs. V called out, ‘I have been getting phone calls from people telling me to read your review.”
I said, “Well you would have received a phone call from only one person as I only emailed the non-complete review to Belinda and you. So what did Belinda have to say?”
She said, “That I have to read it! I haven’t had the chance as I have had people with, all day.”
I said, “No drama.”
I-played with the kids, and then we had dinner about 7pm. Just for some irrelevant information it was oven baked Chicken and baked lemon potatoes. Actually quite yummy.
After dinner and washing up Mrs. V said, “I read your review. ”
I said, “Did you like it?”
She said, “Sure, I guess we better road test the product so you can complete your review!”
I said, “That sounds like a plan.”
Chapter Five – The Road Test
After we put the kids to bed we lay on the couch and watched a mind numbing movie that Mrs V for some reason enjoyed. It was called Due Date with Robert Downey Junior and the guy from Hangover.
I was not a great fan of the hangover series of movies and found this one even less impressive, but the wife liked it. So I tolerated it as it gave her some joy and laughs. It finished at 10.30am. We then sat on the balcony and chewed the fat for about 30 minutes and then went to bed with my trusty container of BIOglide by my side.
After doing the mandatory brushing of teeth and other functions for hygiene and the body we went to bed and I asked, “Have you got one of your friends handy”.
Testing lubricant
Look, I am a firm believe in sensual foreplay. Giving a gentle erotic massage, some passionate kissing, exploring each others bodies so that both our desires are raised when the actual act takes place. But this we do when we have an hour (or a couple) to spare and explore each other to become more connected.
Sorry, after 11pm, and after a hard days work I am not that romantic person and will call in the big guns to help in the foreplay department.
Using sex toys during couple’s play and love making allows us to have fast sex without it feeling like a ‘wham bam, thank you ma’am’!
So Mrs. V grabbed one of her favorite Romant toys.
I grabbed the BIOglide and liberally applied it to the toy and gently lubricated her. Maria likes mostly to use sex toys externally and is not big on inserting them.
So my mate Romant went to work whilst I enjoyed the show. After she was suitably turned on I applied the BIOglide to myself and we were intimate with each other.
Personally I am not a big fan of water based lubricants
I will tell you why. Recently I read the results of a survey. It revealed that men that orgasmed during sex in under 4 minutes are said to have premature ejaculation problems. Those that lasted between 4-12 minutes are considered normal.
Personally, I very rarely ejaculate in under 12 minutes and when we have time (and are not tired) enjoy marathon sessions.
That being the case most water based lubricants dry up within a ten minute period and need re-application frequently thereafter. As you reapply it dries quicker and becomes sticky, a feeling I find a total turn-off and to be quite honest quite disgusting.
We tend you use silicone lubricants for sex as they:
“last and last, and a little goes a long way”
as most lube product claim to – silicone actually does. But I have digressed again.
On application, like my previous test it was silky smooth
To be quite honest was almost as good in feeling as a silicone lubricant.
It felt good and natural on the skin and it was all thumbs up from the starting point. Unfortunately come around the 8 minute mark it began to become sticky and glammy and by the 10 minute mark we were re-applying.
This is a perfect lubricant for those that want to be intimate for 10 minutes or under.
For anybody that likes longer sessions I rate it 3 out of 5. Because of the initial feeling and it is what I have come to expect from the majority of water based lubes on the market..
Mrs. V comments were, ‘It was really sticky – I don’t rate it.”
So I guess she is a harsher critic than me – or she has been spoiled too long with the use of silicone lubricants.
Surprising though as it was ORGANIC! For more information be sure to research how JoyDivision became an award-winning company with our interview
When it comes to love making, knowing how to make love the right way is essential. It’s not just about getting physical but also about building a strong emotional connection.
That’s why taking the time to engage in foreplay can make all the difference.
By exploring new and exciting activities, you can truly enhance the experience and take your love making to new heights. Women and men with lots of experience in sex agree that the best sexual encounters are characterized by a long and physical foreplay.
Making Love the Right Way
The mind and the body have to be prepared.
It is a journey where the destination is multiple wild orgasms due to increased enjoyment and sexual satisfaction. Unlike common belief, you don’t have to wait for your partner to start foreplay.
Technically, you can start preparing yourself for sex long before your partner makes it to the door.
First Base – A respectable starting point to Make Love the Right Way
According to a study published in the Neuro Endocrinology Letters journal kissing can make couples happier and less stressed. It also helps release certain proteins in the body that promote overall well-being.
So why not start by giving your partner a closed-lip kiss while fixing their tie or collar? Then, gently nibble on their bottom lip before introducing your tongue. Explore the curves of their lips with your tongue, paying special attention to the delicate skin at the corner.
Second Base – A respectable halfway point
Holding hands while heading to dinner is nice, but feeling each other up in the car before walking in? That’s hot! Touch plays a crucial role in any relationship, not just in the beginning stages.
Couples who love to touch and caress each other experience higher levels of sexual attraction and overall happiness in their relationship.
If you and your guy are feeling frisky in a secluded corner of a bar, a dark cinema hall, or the back seat of a cab, don’t hold back from exploring under your shirt or over his jeans.
To add more fun, relive your teenage years by getting intimate with clothes still on. Grind against each other at a concert or on a dance floor. Just take it slow and be gentle with your movements to avoid awkward and clumsy foreplay attempts.
Third Base – Almost there
When you’re alone in your room, you might have developed the habit of rushing through the basics, including any hand or mouth activities. It’s a shame because both men and women in committed relationships want foreplay to last longer than just 18 minutes in total.
After requesting that he close his eyes, wet your hands with lube and use them to stroke his balls while you perform oral sex. A blend of your smooth hands and mouth will give him the impression of two mouths on him rather than one and will most likely send him over the edge.
After that have him go on top of you between your legs and get him to slide his tongue all over your clit. The end goal is to make you as wet as possible gradually increasing pace.
Attempt a whole heap of third-base foreplay acts this way and you’ll both will probably achieve a very monumental sex session.
Home Base – Jackpot!!
More often than not, you’re going to go the distance. Sex that has had this fore play is not the same as a let’s-get-bare and-do-it fast in and out. Particularly if you, or your partner, have already climaxed.
If that is the situation, it brings in a whole new ball-game as you are both still horny but have climaxed so bring in the big guns. A bit of stimulating lube or some sex toys and get ready for orgasm number two.
Relax
It’s important to focus on the goal, but don’t stress yourself out too much. Keep your breathing steady and chat with each other about what feels good.
If things get uncomfortable, just go back to the basics.
Why Not Add Some Spice
Why not add some excitement to your relationship before your partner even steps foot in the bedroom? Men can easily find something to spice things up at an adult store.
You may love a decorative cock ring. The ring may just turn your partner on, and by the time you start romping it away, she will be wet yearning for a really hot sexual activity.
Our partners are often curious about what’s beneath the surface, and it’s our demeanor and clothing that piques their interest. And once you reach that point, everything will be set and ready to enjoy a satisfying meal.
Undressing alone can compliment foreplay.
Find an appealing lingerie and costume that your partner would love to watch you take off; go for simple but sexy. Kissing is a usual foreplay activity, oral sex and cuddling.
You can find gags and blinds from the bdsm shops online at very affordable prices and surprise each other. Nothing beats total submission when it comes to sex and it is highly recommended.
Is there a foreplay manual men and women should follow?
Experts don’t think so. It is just how you let things fall in place. So long as you don’t rush to the main course before the appetizer, then all is well. What most sexual partners should be worried about is how to attain maximum sexual satisfaction. Go for what you are ok with.
Sex is a very enjoyable activity.
During foreplay, stimulate the sensitive parts, like the clits, nipples, oral sex or use a wide variety of adult toys. This means that you should equip yourself with at least two toys of your choice.
Finally, before you get busy, don’t forget the condom-you can find all types, shapes, sizes and flavors to spice things up.
Seduction Using Spanish Fly Gold
Spanish Fly Gold, a very seductive discovery that was first believed to have been used as an aphrodisiac by Roman Empress Livia (58 B.C.-A.D. 29).
The chemical Cantharidin is an organic terpenoid found in the Emerald and Gold iridescent Spanish Fly also known as a Blister Beetle. And plants such as cinnamon, cloves and ginger which is extracted as a tasteless and colourless fluid.
If you take it by mouth, it can make you feel turned on and warm by irritating your urethra and bladder. This effect is more likely to happen in female humans, since we don’t have the same natural mating season hormones that many other female animals do.
What Happns After I Take Spanish gold Fly Sex Drops?
Women will experience a rosy glow in the cheeks, feeling flushed and heated, increased heartbeat, deeper breathing and a furious lust and desire to make love. Or if riding solo, a veracious need to ‘get off’.
In men, there is a possibility of assisting and maintaining an erection too!
I know how powerful Spanish Fly is because I tried it myself.
Curious about the fact people come in frequently to stock up on this incredible elixir and I am always hearing the same question… does it really work?
Some Spanish Fly products can be placebo or lab manufactured synthetic versions of the real thing which never really work or cause an allergic reaction. So, I can understand why most people seem apprehensive if they’ve never tried it before.
I Just Had to Give it a Go
Spanish Gold Fly is a sleek gold box usually nestled in front of the register as an eye-catcher. It contains a 5ml foil sachet of the infamous tasteless colourless liquid.
You will also find a small leaflet to explain its effects on both sexes. And a background of its high standard of extraction and research in an unnamed American sex research institute.
Spanish Fly Gold
The leaflet suggests one 5ml piece of Spanish Gold Fly is to be taken orally each time (liking where this is going already!) which you can have in wine, coffee, tea, alcohol etc.
Checking the website, it further states that low alcoholic drinks and soft drinks are recommended for best effects but to not take in soda drinks. I dare say the higher alcohol and sodas could cancel the effects and nobody wants that!
Go Hard or Go Home
So true to my philosophy of ‘Go hard, or go home’ I decided to drink it straight up, which wasn’t unpleasant at all. It was just like drinking water.
Wow. I also decided to try this at home, alone (I’m mad) but made sure my partner was on speed dial if required!
To start off, I’ve got to say, this stuff is perfect for those days when the weather is harsh and cold. I mean, I usually just sit on my couch, all wrapped up in a blanket.
But after trying this, I suddenly felt this intense heat that made me get up and start pacing around my living room.
It was wild!! I felt all tingly and stimulated out of nowhere. And get this, it kicked in within 5 minutes – faster than any other stuff I’ve tried.
I made sure I had all the ingredients needed
As if this is going to be the orgasm to beat all orgasms survival kit! The essentials – lube, my favourite toys and of course some cherry topping porn at the ready.
It wasn’t long at all about another 5 minutes or so that I was almost diving for my standby essentials. No time for Josh to rescue me and my urges now, ha-ha!
Although I find it easy most days to reach climax quickly, the experience was definitely different. My orgasm felt prolonged and multiplied while the final crescendo proved being very intense and extremely pleasurable.
Everything felt more sensitive but strangely at the same time I felt very relaxed.
I can truly understand why Spanish fly sells out so quickly and why people use it regularly. It was a really exciting experience.
I am quite sensitive to most pharmaceuticals so I actually felt an after-effect the next morning similar to a hangove. So maybe for those more sensitive take a half dose first, wait 5 mins and take the rest if you feel more is necessary because it was powerful!
When Should it Be Avoided
I have found many claims as well to avoid Spanish Fly if pregnant or breast feeding due to its effect on the body. Not surprisingly you are never to use this to induce women without their consent.
Sounds really intense but over the years some people have unfortunately used this love elixir for bad rather than good. As it can subdue a women to a state of sexual euphoria and relaxation, this has been abused in some cases.
It Does Work!!
Aside from some negative setbacks by some users, it is a very successful aphrodisiac that really does work! I highly recommend this product to spice up your love life and also to encourage your own sexual desires and inhibitions.
As women we need mental stimulation just as much as physical. For me, Spanish Gold Fly worked as that bridge to really encourage both sides to work together in harmony. That feeling most times just can’t be found without it.
Packaging
Coming in a single pack too makes it a nice introduction to Spanish Fly for first timers and all of its benefits. It’s compact in size, quick and efficient for those on the go as well as at home. Fast acting which is what women want!
You can purchase Spanish Gold Fly in Adultsmart stores at a very affordable price.
It is definitely a must-have!
