Psst. Gather round. We've been sitting on a secret at Lovehoney HQ - and no, it's not one of our remote control toys.

We've been beavering away in the background to bring you a Lovehoney first: the Sexual Happiness Podcast!

Hosted by long-term Lovehonians Jess, Nick, and yours truly, this weekly show features fascinating sex trivia, amazing guests, sizzling sex advice, and answers to all of your questions about living the sexiest life that you can.

You can listen on a whole host of your favourite platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Soundcloud, and PlayerFM. (And if you're listening on iTunes, why not leave us a review if you liked what you heard? We love getting your feedback!)

Don't forget, if you've got a question or a topic that you'd like us to address on the show (anonymously, of course), then you can drop us an email at podcast@lovehoney.com.

Happy listening!

After a tough day, when the daily commute's been getting you down and the stresses of work are over and done, what could be better than a nice relaxing massage?

Curious about butt plugs? Want to know what they feel like and why people use them? You've come to the right place.

Your butthole is packed with sensitive nerve endings that can feel incredible when stimulated. But how do you get to them when they're tucked away in your butt? Of course, a finger or a willing partner's penis can help you out, but there is another, super-pleasurable option if you're keen for a little bumfunnery.

Enter the trusty butt plug: an intrepid little toy that's shaped to fit your body and more than happy to help you explore the pleasures that lie beyond your backdoor.

Butt plugs come in different shapes, sizes and materials, so which one's best for you will depend on your experience, anatomy and what kind of sensations you're after.

With the right prep and progression, a butt plug can offer a new, and potentially more intense, way to orgasm.

This week, we're following up with part 2 of our squirting sequel with 'How to Squirt'!

In this sex advice video, Jess gives you her top tips for how to squirt when you masturbate, as well as how to make your partner squirt during couples play.

What is squirting?

Not to be confused with female ejaculation, squirting (sometimes referred to as gushing) is the involuntary release of fluid during intimate stimulation on a person with a vulva.

But what is the fluid? And why does it occur?

Jess tells you everything we know about squirting orgasms in this weeks YouTube video.

Come back next week to find out how to squirt!

One of the most common sex toy questions we get asked is "how do I care for my Fleshlight?"

Like many sex toys, a good scrub under warm water followed by a spritz of antibacterial sex toy cleaner keeps your toy fresh.

But have you noticed how real feel toys, like Fleshlight, THRUST and TENGA, don't feel the same after cleaning?

In this weeks YouTube video, Jess gives you step-by-step instructions for how to clean your realistic sex toy and maintain its soft skin-like feeling.

(Hint: use renewer powder!)

Finally, it's here: the much-anticipated part 2 of our Sexy Valentine's Date Night ideas video!
