Fun Stuff

With Halloween sneaking up on us fast, many of us around the world are turning our thoughts to which mind-blowing costume we should be donning for the big night.

But, even if you don’t dress up as a sexy traffic cop or a slutty bag of Skittles, there’s a chance that your simple ghost outfit or creepy clown make-up could be causing a stir for someone.

Sexual fetishes and fantasies come in all different forms, so it comes as little surprise that if you’ve ever had an X-rated daydream about a good-looking Georgian ghost, or a frolic with Frankenstein’s monster, you’re definitely not alone.

So, if white sheets make you moan, or detailed zombie make-up brings on a very localized case of rigor mortis, read on to learn more about five particular proclivities that thrive at Halloween…

Kinky sex: in case you didn't know, it's pretty popular nowadays.

Topics which used to be too taboo to talk about, like bondage and spanking, are now being discussed and explored by everyday couples all over the world. There are many reasons for this shift in attitude towards sex, but it's no surprise that the BDSM trend in particular has only grown since Fifty Shades of Grey debuted 8 years ago.

Now, with five books, two films and a third movie (Fifty Shades Freed) just around the corner, it doesn't look like the Fifty Shades-induced bondage craze is going to stop anytime soon. Huzzah!

In preparation for the newest film, which comes out next month, Lovehoney wanted to make sure all you kinky so'n'so's are playing safe and always use a safe word when you play like Grey.

How? We did a survey, of course.

The good news is, our survey results show that Lovehoney customers use their noggin when it comes to kinky play, and always use a safe word. Not only were you proud to tell us how seriously you take safety, but you also told us your favourite safe words for stopping the action mid-swing.

And so we present to you, the top 10 most popular safe words (along with a few we simply couldn't miss out)...

Truth, justice and saving the world? *yawn* How predictable!

Why would anyone fall for the hero when it's the villain who's always far more interesting?

Think of the antagonist in your favourite movie or TV series, and we guarantee they'll be way more seductive while walking on the wild side than the clean-cut leading lad or lass trying to clap them in handcuffs.

After much deliberation, we've managed to rank 10 of the sexiest fictional characters ever to grace our TV screens.

Without further ado, here are our favourite bad guys.

It's probably not a question that's likely to appear on University Challenge anytime soon but most people, when asked, could name a few fetishes.

Foot fetishes are usually what springs to mind, followed by activities like bondage and S&M.

But what is counts as a fetish? Well, a fetish is a type of sexual desire where gratification is linked to an object, type of clothing or part of the body.

Thanks to the awesome power of the internet, and society becoming increasingly sex-positive, we know more about kinks and fetishes than we ever have before.

That's why Lovehoney had to conduct some serious sexual research to find you these 10 Sexual Fetishes We Bet You've Never Heard Of!

Looking for something sexy to watch?

There are plenty of titillating TV shows out there, just waiting for you to go all night with.

We've gathered 10 of the sexiest series to ever grace the small screen – which of these haven't you seen yet?

For any fans of irreverant, cutting-edge comedies featuring kick-ass female characters who haven't watched Broad City yet - where have you been?

This Comedy Central sitcom stars BFFs Abbi and Ilana as they navigate life and love in New York City, often with hilarious results.

And with this Thursday (March 28th) marking the very last episode *sob* of the show, we decided to take this moment to look back at some of the finest moments in Abbi and Ilana's friendship.

(And hey, if you and your bestie fancy living life Abbi-and-Ilana style, we've even created an official range of Broad City sex toys that'll have you shouting "YAASS, KWEEN" in no time.)

When I was a kid, I thought that people got pregnant just by sleeping in the same bed.

To be fair to my younger self, I was on the right track, but my explanation was definitely missing a few crucial steps.

We may all have believed something funny or illogical about sex before we were given The Talk by our parents or sex ed teacher – but that's nothing compared to what people have believed throughout the ages.

Cornflakes, sneezing, pineapple juice, 'loose' vaginas – here are 12 weird things people once believed about sex!

If you had asked me how many different types of orgasms there were when I was 19, I probably would have said “…there are different types?”.

Sadly, like many young women, the only type of orgasm I knew about back then was the kind I was habitually faking.

But then I bought my first sex toy, and started being more vocal about what I needed in bed, and, because of this, I’ve learnt that there are at least 12 distinct types of orgasms that women can have.

I’ve not had all of them yet, mind you. But to paraphrase my good friend 50 Cent, this year my plan is to get off or die trying.

If you, too, are curious about this kind of 'Dirty Dozen', then just keep reading to find out what they are, and how you can have them.
