Psst…guys. Ever wanted that little bit of help when you are ‘down there’ giving your women incredible pleasure with your tongue? Or wanted a sexy gift for your lover when you’re away?

Well then, you better meet the Sqweel. LoveHoney have been developing this adult sex toy for some time. It is essentially a series of rotating paddles (or ‘tongues’) designed to stimulate the feeling of oral sex. It has only just been released but is talking the sex toy industry by storm.

The manufacturers rate the Sqweel so highly, that if you don’t have an orgasm you get your money back. Sounds like a win-win to me! So if you are looking for a sexy, naughty gift for your girlfriend then look no further than the Sqweel.

The Sqweel is available to buy from LoveHoney.co.uk for around £35. Pictures copyright of LoveHoney.

We all know men love to prove how masculine they are. And what better way than to break flying ceramic disks with hundreds of tiny mental ball bearings?

That’s right. I’m talking clay pigeon shooting (sometimes known as clay target shooting). Perfect for the guy who wants a fun few hours testing his skill and accuracy in a beautiful countryside environment. It’s also great to go in small groups or three or four. You may not get as many shots but you do get the thrill of competing against your friends.

When you choose a shooting school keep the following things in mind.

1. How good is tuition? The nature of the sport makes it compulsory that you are accompanied by an instructor at all times. This shooting instructor can make the difference between and enjoyable session and a frustrating one. With proper instruction even a first timer should be able to hit a fair few clays and have lots of fun.
2. What will it cost? Lessons vary in price depending whether you are having an individual tuition or are part of a group. If your group is two people or fewer, expect a one hour lesson to cost around £70 each. If there are three or more of you most clay shooting schools will give you a two hour session for around the same price each. On top of the tuition and gun hire, you will also have to pay for any cartridges you use. Expect an additional £10 – £20 per person for these.
3. How many stands does the shooting school have? Shooting schools vary in size from a handful of beginner traps to acres of land with more challenging traps to represent every conceivable type of bird (and rabbit!) you would find on a real shoot. You will only get to shoot at a handful of the stands during a session, but a larger school will give you more choice.

Personally I have been to three different shooting schools and had a fun filled time at all of them. Sports shooting really does make a brilliant romantic gift or experience day that your man (and even you!) is bound to enjoy.

Recommended shooting schools near London:

• Holland & Holland Shooting Ground
• West London Shooting School
• Royal Berkshire Shooting School

After you’ve finished the masterpiece on your boyfriend or girlfriend’s naked flesh, simply lick off or wash away with soapy water.

The Naughty Body Messages kit is available from the official YESforLOV website.

Forget expensive jewellery and stunning lingerie. What women really want are the simply things that show you care.

According to a recent survey, British men are some of the least romantic in the world, choosing football and drinking over wooing. They are less likely to give compliments or small displays of affection, instead opting to drop a load of cash on expensive romantic gifts.

So if you’re on a budget, remember these top 10 romantic gestures you can do for practically nothing.

10 – Make her a compilation of her favourite music

9 – Send her a bouquet of flowers, or a box of chocolates at work

8 – Offer her a coat when she is cold

7 – Wake her up with breakfast in bed

6 – Send her a romantic text or email, or leave a loving note around the house

5 – Run her a relaxing bath after she has had a bad day at work

4 – Tell her that she is the most wonderful woman you have ever met

3 – Write a song or poem about her

2 – Whisk her away somewhere exciting for the weekend

1 – Cover her eyes and lead her to a lovely surprise

Store these romantic gestures away and you’ll never be stuck for a quick romantic gift again.

The Forbury Hotel is a best kept secret. Why? Because people who’ve been there want to keep it all to themselves. It’s that good!

Whilst Reading may not be renowned for fine food or accommodation, once you mount the stone steps leading to the Forbury’s main entrance, you may just change your mind. This luxury hotel is the perfect place to spend a romantic weekend away with your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife.

Each lavishly-appointed bedroom contains plenty of exciting surprises. A Forbury welcome bag filled with treats, a state-of-the-art Bang and Olufsen audio-visual system, your own Espresso coffee machine (with four blends of coffee) and a stocked fridge with complimentary water and soft drinks.

Stay in a suite and you might even be lucky enough to take a bath in a free standing metal bath in front of your very own personal fire, or frolic under streams of water cascading from the monsoon shower.

The hotel is also lovely and quiet. You could be mistaken for thinking you were the only one staying there. Only when you head down to the Cerise cocktail bar might you run into another guest.

Any for those couples you love to dine, the on-site Michelin starred Eden restaurant will be able to serve you a sumptuous romantic meal that will send your tastebuds into a spin.

The Forbury Hotel really is a wonderful hideaway to spend a lazy weekend with a loved one. Trust me when I say your lover won’t be disappointing if you surprise them with a stay at this romantic getaway.

For bookings and equiries see the official Forbury Hotel website.
