iVillage.com iVillage Recommends Good Vibrations this Holiday Season “Keep Your Toys Handy! When you don’t have a lot of time to climax, sometimes a little buzz can help (and we’re not talking about the kind you get from eggnog). While you might be a little nervous to travel with a vibrating companion, don’t be. The trick is to get a few discreet toys (especially if you’re only bringing a carry-on). There’s a vibrator that looks like a makeup compact (Make Me Over, $89), another that looks like a blush/powder brush (At First Blush, $28) and even one that looks like a lipstick (Love Lipstick Vibe, $28). “If you get quizzed by an airport security agent, just calmly say, ‘That’s a personal item’ and don’t let them make you blush…they’ve probably seen it all before,” says Good Vibrations staff sexologist Carol Queen, Ph.D. “One very important tip for traveling with vibes, however, is to take the batteries out before you head to the airport...no matter how discreet your plaything, if it starts vibrating randomly, they’re going to look at it with suspicion.” |

USA Today Good Vibrations' Staff Sexologist featured in USA Today "Q: How important is communication in the bedroom? A: Crucial! Talking may not seem necessary in the beginning, when lust can conquer all. But as you settle into a routine, or bodies change, speaking about sensation, desire, arousal and limits becomes very important. Some lovers never say much in bed, but do talk about sexuality outside the bedroom." |

SNAP: Hipstamatic Magazine Carol Queen Talks Sex Positivity in SNAP Hipstamatic Magazine "Good Vibrations is about more than just sexy time toys, they're on a mission to provide sex-positive education to everyone. I hear the call to 'Speak Out' and say it's not quite enough—since so many people don't have enough good info to begin with. What we need is sex-positive education: information that is accurate, non-judgmental, diverse (because no two of us are exactly the same sexually—we're little snowflakes!), and realistic about the pleasures, as well as the perils, of sexual experience. When what we hear is "just say no," a healthy and pleasure-filled sex life is harder to achieve even as adults." |

Rappler.com Good Vibrations Antique Vibrator Museum Featured on Rappler "From generation to generation, there has probably been no other sex toy that so captured a woman's ahem, heart, and occupied such a prime space in her bedside table than the vibrator. Women started feeling the need for a good vibe as early as 1899. …the vibrator was invented a full decade earlier than the flat iron, the vacuum cleaner and the electric frying pan. Is it a coincidence that all these household items were meant to make life just a wee bit easier for women? Or as Maines posits in her study, "The Technology of Orgasms: Hysteria, The Vibrator and Women's Sexual Satisfaction," was it indicative of consumer priorities at the time? Dr Carol Queen, resident sexologist of the Good Vibrations sex shop on Polk Street, San Francisco, thinks it was a little of that, as well as "Just ignorance of women's sexual health and what they needed to function as healthy people." |

SHAPE Magazine Dr. Carol Queen Tells How to Clean Your Sex Toys in SHAPE Magazine "What's the best way to clean sex toys? It depends on the gadget.

The Atlantic The Atlantic Reexamines the 50 Shades of Grey Phenomenon "Could it be that 50 Shades is so alluring because it's a mainstream book—being read by celebrities, housewives, and co-workers—whose popularity gives straight women permission to think about what they might enjoy in bed, and to ask their partners to explore alternate sexual scenarios with them? "I think that's right on," says Carol Queen, a sexologist who works at Good Vibrations, a San Francisco-based adult toy and education company. "I don't for one minute think that most ladies are secret bondage-hounds waiting to be unleashed. To the degree that BDSM is integral to women readers' response to 50 Shades, it's in the way ... [that] erotic roleplay allows a [woman] to feel really consumed, powerfully desired." Reports from the people who work on the floor at the three Good Vibrations stores in San Francisco also indicate that 50 Shades fans aren't interested in hard-core BDSM stuff as much as some other sex toys mentioned in the book, especially the Ben Wa balls—which are what most 50 Shades readers ask for when they shop, according to one Good Vibrations sales associate. Another says that lately, a lot of men who come in say something like this: "My wife is reading this book that really makes her want to try this stuff out. Any suggestions for beginner toys? I want to surprise her, but not scare her." |

San Francisco Chronicle The San Francisco Chronicle Notes the Effect of 50 Shades of Grey on Good Vibrations "Sales of bondage-related sex toys at Good Vibrations are up 65 percent and erotica 50 percent since the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy (about a fictional Seattle billionaire and his love of kinky bedroom play) hit the best-seller list. They include ostrich feather ticklers, binding tape and riding crops with heart-shaped tips (pictured) for light taps on the rear (leaving marks is a no-no). "It's always impressive when something causes such a massive shift in the cultural conversation about sex, and the fact that the book is rather ordinary seems to show how eager this country is to go there," said Camilla Lombard, a spokeswoman for Good Vibes, which hosts a "50 Shades of Play" workshop at the Polk Street store Wednesday." |

Men's Fitness Men's Fitness Addresses the Kink Disparity with Dr. Carol Queen I've started dating a woman who is a little "kinky" in bed. How can I ask her to be gentler without coming off like a wuss? A: According to Good Vibrations resident sexologist Dr. Carol Queen, there are a few likely possibilities for her rough housing; either she gets turned on causing pain or she likes receiving it and therefore assumes that everyone else does. Or maybe she just doesn't realize how strong she is. "Ask her is directly but without being accusatory," advises Dr. Queen. For example, "You really get into it when you bite me, but that sensation actually doesn't do anything for me -- what turns me on the most is…" Ask if perhaps what she really wants is to be bitten. If that's the case, you can always bite her without being gnawed on yourself. And as always, positive reinforcement works wonders." |

Seattle Business Magazine Seattle Business Magazine Features Good Vibrations in 50 Shades of Grey Business Boom "Stores started to notice the Fifty Shades of Grey effect last spring. In New York, hardware stores reported selling 10 times the amount of rope as usual— most of it, they discovered, to female customers. In San Francisco, women in their 30s and 40s walked into Good Vibrations stores asking for riding crops and erotic Ben Wa Balls, a relatively obscure sexual stimulation toy. Carol Queen, a sexologist with San Francisco-based Good Vibrations, says the book, although maligned by critics for the quality of its writing, has assumed a cultural currency of its own. Queen points out that people "got snooty" about Harry Potter books until they saw how their kids devoured them, and parents said, "'Anything that gets the kids to read.' There's a total parallel here," Queen says. "Someone like me would say, 'It's not the best-written book, but anything that gets the lady fantasizing.' The vast majority probably won't be into BDSM; they're probably just going to be friskier with their husbands." |

New York Times Good Vibrations Featured in New York Times Carol Queen, curator of the Antique Vibrator Museum and a staff sexologist for Good Vibrations, a sexual products retailer founded in 1977, credits the new Trojan ads with "pretty seamlessly integrating men into the campaign." Some consumers who buy their first device as an impulse buy at a mass retailer are apt to eventually be drawn to boutiques like Good Vibrations, which along with Trojan devices has a wide selection of other brands — and knowledgeable staff members. "Going to a sexuality store like Good Vibrations or many others, you have trained people who can answer your questions and help you choose," Ms. Queen said. "What most customers are probably not doing is getting the greeter at Walmart to come with them to the vibrator aisle and asking them, 'Which one should I get?' " |

iVillage.com How to Slow Your Guy Down in the Sack "Squeeze: Sexologists often recommend the 'Squeeze Technique' as a way to slow him down, though this isn't something a woman ought to just 'do' without communicating with her partner," says Carol Queen, PhD, Good Vibrations Staff Sexologist. Here's the gist: Commence sex play as usual. When he feels ejaculation is imminent, he (or his partner) squeezes the tip of his penis for a few seconds. If you do this in time, it will disrupt the reflex called ejaculatory inevitability. "Go back to playing after the ejaculatory urge has subsided, and repeat as necessary," says Dr. Queen. Ultimately this technique should help him learn to control ejaculation himself. If he's a quick masturbator, get him to slow down! "Many men become fast ejaculators because they train themselves to be, through rapid -- often furtive or rushed -- masturbation," says Dr. Queen. "They can train themselves the other way, too, but they have to give up the old habit of quick, one-minute relief and spend some more time at it." |

The Advocate Good Vibrations Antique Vibrator Museum featured in The Advocate "The vibrator, in fact, was one of the earliest patents. The San Francisco premier of Hysteria was held last week in conjunction with the grand opening of Good Vibrations' Antique Vibrator Museum. Showcasing collectibles from the 1800s and onward, the Vibrator Museum tells a fascinating story of history, health, and sexuality. Curator and staff sexologist Dr. Carol Queen said the new exhibit "contextualizes the vibrators' role in society and highlights how our attitudes around sex and female pleasure have evolved. It really gives us an appreciation for how far both society and technology have come, and it's fitting to house the exhibit in the original female-friendly adult retail store. The turn-of-the-century vibes seen in Hysteria were a far cry from the modern technology but paved the way for today's pleasure, which is why Good Vibrations, the legendary queer-run sex toy company co-sponsored the San Francisco premiere of Hysteria. Still with all the hubub this spring over sex toys, one can't help but question whether the history of the vibrator is somehow yet to be discovered." |

LA Weekly Sex Toy Trends Spotlights Eco-Consciousness Shopping Trends "Boutique sex store Good Vibrations has released the results of a recent survey conducted to figure out how sex toy shoppers feel about going green. (Not a euphemism.) Most said they gave a shit about being eco-friendly while shopping, but they were most concerned with their partners' safety than anything else. Ninety percent surveyed said buying body-safe material is their highest priority, and almost 70 percent rated it the most important factor in making a sex toy purchase. (Body-safe materials include steel, borosilicate glass, some elastomers and hard plastics, and 100 percent silicone.)" "It's clear that the American public -- at least those not afraid of a little dildo or two -- are allowing the green/organic trend to penetrate their lives and fortunately there are enough products from every corner of the sex world to cater to even the most persnickety." |
