Dave Lampert
David Lee Lampert (October 14, 1930 – June 24, 2021) was an American sex toy pioneer. He studied agriculture at the University of Illinois, before becoming a dance instructor after graduation. Lampert invented the Sybian in an attempt to mitigate what he saw as an unfair shortcoming in women's sexual pleasure. He developed it in conjunction with a medical doctor, and tested it on women at swingers' groups. His company Abco Research Associates was responsible for the sale of both the Sybian, his own invention, and the Venus 2000, for which it had manufacturing rights. He lived in Monticello, Illinois, where he manufactured the Sybian and Venus 2000 as a family business. In 2010, Lampert appeared on the ''Howard Stern Show'' with the actress Raven Alexis A raven is any of several larger-bodied bird species of the genus ''Corvus''. These species do not form a single Taxon, taxonomic group within the genus. There is no consistent distinction between "crows" and "ravens", comm ...

Sex Toy
A sex toy is an object or device that is primarily used to facilitate human sexual pleasure, such as a dildo, artificial vagina or vibrator. Many popular sex toys are designed to resemble human genitals, and may be vibrating or non-vibrating. The term ''sex toy'' can also include BDSM apparatus and sex furniture such as slings; however, it is not applied to items such as birth control, pornography, or condoms. Alternative terms for ''sex toy'' include adult toy and the dated euphemism marital aid. ''Marital aid'' also has a broader meaning and is applied to drugs and herbs marketed to enhance or prolong sex. Sex toys are most commonly sold at sex shops or online, but they may also be sold in a pharmacy or chemist store, a pornographic store, a head shop, or a department store. Sex toys are available in almost all countries for males and females. Types Erotic electrostimulation Another form of sex toys for both men and women are those for erotic electrostimulation. Ero ...

Sybian
A Sybian (), or Sybian saddle, is a type of masturbation device. It consists of a hollow saddle-like seat containing two electric motors, motor speed controller boards, gearing, pulleys, and a platform on cranked axles such that a ridge on the top of the unit can be made to vibrate through a range of speeds as set using a wired external hand controller, and an upward-pointing shaft set on an angle through the ridge can be made to rotate at speeds of up to several hundred rpm, again by use of the wired remote control. Flexible molded attachments are usually supplied, fitting over the vibrating ridge and shaft which mostly have integrated dildos on their top. In use, the rider inserts the dildo into a body orifice for internal stimulation while applying pressure on the vibrating ridge with their external erogenous parts . Development According to its inventor, Dave Lampert, the Sybian was first conceived in the 1970s and developed in 1983. A prototype was built in 1985 from shee ...

Swinging (sexual Practice)
Swinging, sometimes called wife-swapping, husband-swapping, or partner-swapping, is a sexual activity in which both singles and partners in a committed relationship sexually engage with others for recreational purposes. Swinging is a form of non-monogamy and is an open relationship. People may choose a swinging lifestyle for a variety of reasons. Practitioners cite an increased quality and quantity of sex. Some people may engage in swinging to add variety into their otherwise conventional sex-lives or due to their curiosity. Some couples see swinging as a healthy outlet and means to strengthen their relationship. The phenomenon of swinging, or its wider discussion and practice, is regarded by some as arising from the freer attitudes to sexual activity after the sexual revolution of the 1960s, the invention and availability of the contraceptive pill, and the emergence of treatments for many of the sexually transmitted diseases that were known at that time. The adoption of safe sex p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Venus 2000
The Venus for Men, previously sold as the Venus 2000, is a self-actuated masturbation aid for men that applies sexual stimulation using a mechanism outwardly similar to a milking machine. The machine works with or without an erection. ''Metro'' has described it as a sex toy "for the serious onanist". In addition to masturbation, the machine may also be used for orgasm control practices such as edging or forced orgasm. Creation The Venus II was invented by Rick Gellert, with the assistance of Valentin Tsitrin, a Russian engineer. Gellert has written: ...It seems male desire for sexual activity ranges from needing an orgasm once in many weeks to wanting several in a day. ..after hundreds of variations, I developed a product unique enough so that I was awarded patent #5501650. The device was marketed as Venus II from October 1993 to April 1998. Gellert and Tsitrin presented their device to Abco Research Associates in 1993 (also manufacturer of the Sybian), and Abco helped them l ...

Raven Alexis
A raven is any of several larger-bodied bird species of the genus ''Corvus''. These species do not form a single taxonomic group within the genus. There is no consistent distinction between "crows" and "ravens", common names which are assigned to different species chiefly on the basis of their size. The largest raven species are the common raven and the thick-billed raven. Etymology The term "raven" originally referred to the common raven (''Corvus corax''), the type species of the genus ''Corvus'', which has a larger distribution than any other species of ''Corvus'', ranging over much of the Northern Hemisphere. The modern English word ''raven'' has cognates in all other Germanic languages, including Old Norse (and subsequently modern Icelandic) and Old High German , all of which descend from Proto-Germanic . Collective nouns for a group of ravens (or at least the common raven) include "rave", "treachery", "unkindness" and "conspiracy". In practice, most people use the mo ...
