There are over 130 authors participating and the more blogs you visit and leave a comment, the more chances you have at winning something. And you have plenty of time because the hop runs from the 10/10-10/15, that's five whole days! Oh and while you're here, I'd love for you to sign up for my monthly newsletter. Sign up link is on the right. Thanks!
Ya'll know I write erotic romance. Does it involve kinky sex? I'm not sure about that. My characters partake in a little more than vanilla sex, but so far other than the over-used dildo, no other sex toys are used. Oh, there has been some anal spray, a pair of hand-cuffs, and a little bondage in a few of my books. Maybe in the future my characters will explore the, um, kinkier toys.
So on that note, I'd like to introduce you to some of the earlier sex toys. No, they aren't tools of torture! LOL I swear!
Wooden willies made from Rosewood, the late-1700s phalluses. They look pretty sturdy, huh? They must be. I mean, they've been around for a while.
First ever vibrator, created in 1869. This large piece of steam-powered apparatus was used to treat an illness known then as ‘female hysteria’. Otherwise known as being horny. Looks like some torture devise, doesn't it?
Cock rings were reported to have existed around 1200AD in China. The first ever cock rings were apparently made from the eyelids of goats – with the eyelashes intact! At least it's pretty!
So you ask yourself, what fantastic prize is Tory Richards offering? How about a $10 egift certificate for Bath and Body Works? Nice but... Okay, then how about $20 for an egift certificate for Bath and Body Works? That's right! And all you have to do to be entered into a drawing is answer the question, what's your favorite genre? And since it's an egift certificate I can send it anywhere in the world. All I need is your email addy!
Good luck everyone!

The cock ring really looks like a piece of jewelry. My favorite right now is romantic suspense.

My favourite genre is Historical romance. So those toys are interesting. The vibrater you don't have to hold looks like a good idea. Might get a bit noisy for the neighbours though. L o l

I got back and forth from Historical Romance to Contemporary. Currently, I have been on a Contemporary streak of books.
Woohoo! Great theme for a hop!
I like the “Naughty” books. The naughtier they are the better I like them. :)
My favorite genre is erotic PNR.
Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win. <^_^>

My favorite genre is usually paranormal romance or urban fantasy. Little steam mixed with tons of action!

I would think the wood could cause a friction burn, wonder how they dealt with that?!?
I read just about anything and everything, but hot contemporary paranormal is a special favorite.

I read all genres but i have a fondness for the historical romance ones.
JWIsley(at)aol(dot)com
I like romance and have lately been exploring sub-genres in that area, M/M etc. BTW, dildos made of wood could give some powerful splinters.
I love paranormal or urban fantasy but lately I have been branching out to erotica....I know kind of a big leap but hey..a girl can change it up right??
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!

Hello Tory... Very interesting apparatus you've shown there! Heh! My tastes fluctuate every now and again. Recently, I've been hooked in Historical, but really will read any genre as long as they are M/M stories.

I am a absolute die hard romantic at heart. I love romance and especially love romance with a era theme to it. Thank you for the history on the fun toys! I could not help but smile!
lauraemerson17 at yahoo dot com
Wow, what a nice surprise! So many of you turned out for the blog hop on the first day. I'm glad you found my article interesting. I swear the vibrator looks like it gives pain more than pleasure.
Good luck all!
Tory
Contemporary
leanna.honed@gmail.com
I like a mixture of Paranormal and some other genre (Time-Travel Historical, Contemporary Paranormal, etc). The mixture gives so many choices of where to go and what to create.
AquarianDancer at gmail dot com
What a history of toys, Tory! You mention that the vibrator looks like it would cause more pain than pleasure. Maybe that was the point? Maybe the MAN who created it, for surely it was a man, was a bit of a BDSM man?? LOL.
catherinelee100 at gmail dot com
Great post! I love everything. Suspense is one of my favorites add is some erotic and it is great.
Debby236 at gmail dot com

My husband asked me the other day don't you ever read anything but your romance books, I told him I have a lot of variety in my reading historic romance, sci-fi romance, western romance, contemporary romance, suspense/mystery romance, paranormal romance. See lots of different stuff. I can't pick a favorite ;)
Carin mawmom at gmail dot com
For the longest time I've been stuck on paranormal romance. But I go through phases where I'm love to read historical, Western, contemporary and erotica. Really my only reading requirement is that has it has hot man candy in it! Lol.

The female hysteria vibrator would have to go with bondage i think. My favorite genre is romantic suspense one day, and paranormal the next. Just love reading.
Sorry forgot E-Mail annpa@gmail.com
I will read almost any romance, but my favorite genre at the moment is contemporary. Thanks for the giveaway!
Jyl22075@gmail.com

I'll read anything but my absolute favorite is historical romance. Love the little peaks into history and realizing the stodgy looking portraits of the past were people like us and got up to some interesting things.
I love paranormal romance!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
