Los Angeles- [examiner.com]- There are a number of adult toy companies out there – and often, as I navigate through the semi-chaotic layout of bright pages and pasteled vibrators and body creams, I wonder about the quality of some of the things I’m purchasing.
Coco de Mer (not safe for work) is an adult sex toy boutique in a league of its own. The site promises “Erotic Luxury,” and it delivers. Offering high-end, fair trade, and designer adult products, this is a destination for the shopper who is looking for something more. (And if you’re lucky enough to live in London or Los Angeles, Coco de Mer has physical locations with even more products to choose from.)
Simply clicking through the site is a pleasurable experience in and of itself. The site has a slightly exotic, European look to it. The rich, dark browns, deep reds, and satiny blues make for a luxurious browsing session that’s easy on the eyes.
I feel like the proverbial kid in the candy store as I meander from the Apothecary (which features things like “edible massage milks”) to the Rare Erotic Books section with a first edition of Henry Miller’s Tropic of Capricorn (A girl would do all sorts of nasty things to Cupid for a gift like this!).
And this is just the titillating tip of the iceberg!
The Designer Sex Toy section is filled with goodies like a Black Pearl Cock Ring (my, my, how nice that would look against the pink of my hubby’s hard-on), the simply elegant Jade Engraved Lotus Dildo, and the sexy-looking Shiri Zinn Minx Vibrator (with pink feather tail and 12 swarovski crystals).
Coco de Mer ups the ante for the fetishist, offering indulgent toys that include the Paul Seville Human Hair Whip (the whip is made from human hair by master leather artisan Paul Seville with overlapped leather handle), and the Porcelain Geisha Gag (with lips open).
The parade of sections goes on, and the site is so beautifully done that shopping can itself become an erotic experience. I encourage you to take a few minutes to browse a few of the other categories: Erotic Housewares, Lingerie, Erotic Art, Sexy Gifts… Read about the Coco de Mer, the seed of the sea, and the inspiration and philosophy behind the website.
If your journeys through the boutique side of the site leave you wanting more, the Coco Club (not safe for work) is waiting. The Coco Club offers unique, sexy multimedia sections to explore – think of them as individual, plush, velvety areas to lounge in while tasting a few delectable treats. Dine on the Film Collection (don’t miss Drum Bum – graceful, musical dark hands on white ass – oh my!), the Photo Editorial, or the Coco Blog. The site also provides information on UK Salons and events, and Bondage for Freedom, the activist arm of Coco de Mer.
I guarantee, the time spent on this site will leave you feeling giddy and relaxed. In fact, as I finish my delightful tour and head to bed, I feel the buzz of erotic Valentine’s day treats dance in my head.
