When exploring the world of professional companionship, you may come across two common terms: agency companions and independent companions. While both offer intimate, personalised experiences, the way they operate can be quite different. Understanding these differences can help clients choose the style of booking that suits them best.

What Is an Agency Companion?

An agency companion works with a professional agency that manages bookings, advertising, screening, and scheduling. The agency acts as the middle point between the client and the companion.

For clients, this often means the booking process is straightforward. You contact the agency, choose from the available companions, and the agency arranges the details for you.

Agencies typically offer several benefits:

Professional booking process – Receptionists or booking managers handle enquiries, scheduling, and questions.

Variety of companions – Agencies usually have multiple companions available, offering different looks, personalities, and experiences.

Safety and discretion – Agencies usually have processes in place to protect both companions and clients.

Reliability – If one companion becomes unavailable, the agency can often offer alternatives.

For many people, booking through an agency provides structure and peace of mind.

What Is an Independent Companion?

An independent companion works for themselves rather than through an agency. They manage every aspect of their business, including advertising, bookings, communication, and scheduling.

Because they operate independently, clients communicate directly with the companion from the beginning.

Some clients enjoy this style of booking because it can feel more personal. You are speaking directly with the person you will meet, which allows for more direct communication about preferences, expectations, and availability.

However, independent companions also manage everything themselves, which means response times, availability, and booking processes may vary depending on the individual.

Key Differences

While the experience itself may feel similar, the main difference lies in how bookings are managed.

Agency Companions

• Bookings handled through a receptionist or agency system

• Multiple companions available through one contact point

• Structured scheduling and booking process

• Independent Companions

• Clients communicate directly with the companion

• Each companion manages their own bookings and schedule

• Booking processes may vary between individuals

Which Option Is Better?

There isn’t a “better” option — it simply depends on what you prefer.

Some clients enjoy the simplicity and reliability of an agency, especially if they appreciate having several companions to choose from and a professional booking system.

Others prefer the direct connection of independent companions, where they can communicate one-on-one and build a personal rapport.

At the end of the day, both agency and independent companions aim to provide memorable, enjoyable experiences. The best choice is simply the one that suits your comfort level and booking style.

If you are a sex toy aficionado, then you probably know all about Bad Dragon. However, newbies to the pleasure scene might never have even heard of them. So I am going to give you a little breakdown on what Bad Dragon is and what they do. 

What Is Bad Dragon?

Bad Dragon is an American sex toy manufacturer. It was founded in June 2008 and focuses on making fantasy-themed sex toys, especially ones targeted to the furry fandom. These toys are modelled on some of your favourite fantasy creatures like werewolves, chimeras and dragons, of course. Bad Dragon prides itself on how customizable their products are, from colour to firmness. They are also able to add on features like a cum tube or suction cup to some toys. Plus, each toy has its own name and backstory. You do need to be a registered user to access the Bad Dragon lore behind their products, but it’s free and easy to create an account if you want to learn more about each toy. 

Now you know a bit more about Bad Dragon’s origins, let’s have a look at their unique selection of toys.

Cum Lube

Cum Lube is a water-based lubricant created by Bad Dragon to be used in tandem with their cum tube add-on. It is slick, slippery and stringy with the right shade of white to make it seem like the real thing. It is safe to use with silicone toys, is non-toxic and is paraben-free. And if you purchase a toy with the cum tube add-on, you get a free 250mL bottle of Cum Lube to try out. 

Ovipositors

For the true monsterfuckers, Bad Dragon has ovipositor bundles. Ovipositors are a tube-like organ that is used to lay eggs. The Bad Dragon ovipositor has a biomechanical design, mixing skinlike membrane with armoured plating. It is a dildo-like toy that allows you to deposit eggs wherever you choose. This bundle also comes with egg moulds to make your own eggs, a plunger, clear lube and toy cleaner. 

Other Merch

Bad Dragon doesn’t just sell sex toys. They also sell a range of merch, from t-shirts to plushies to body pillows. You can rep your Bad Dragon pride or, if you have read the backstories behind each toy, indulge in some fun furry accessories of your favourite Bad Dragon characters.

Novelty sex toys can be lots of fun, and the most common kind are rose-shaped clitoral stimulators. But are they as good as they look? Well, I’ve tested one and here are my thoughts!

Aesthetics

This is where rose toys get top marks. They are so cute to look at! The design is simple and elegant. They are pretty easy to clean, as they are usually made from silicone, and the top section is often removable so you can reach all the nooks and crannies. You can even buy versions now that have a ‘stem’ which works as a G-spot stimulator or have egg vibrators attached (these don’t look as nice, in my opinion).

Size

The size of the rose toy is another bonus! They are quite small, so fit nicely in your hands and are easy to store. Also, most versions come with at least two different sizes for the head to fit different types of clits. So if you travel a lot or are short on space, this would be a great toy for you.

Stimulation

Now this is where the rose toy falls behind. For a newbie to clitoral stimulators, this would be great. I’ve found the vibrations to be pretty light to medium, so it still feels nice but isn’t super overwhelming. They are also very easy to use, with only a couple of buttons, and once you turn it on, you can just move it around your clitoris until you find the perfect spot for you. You can also use the vibrations to tease other parts of your body or those of your partner. However, if you have used other stimulators and often use higher settings, this might not work for you.

Overall, rose toys are a great first toy and a really good choice if you are looking for something small and compact. You can find a range of rose toys in person at Harlots Canberra or on online retailers such as Lovehoney or Amazon. If you would like to try out your new rose toy with great company, you can see all the escorts available this week here.

Do you have an adventurous spirit and a love for all things freaky and kinky? This week, I will be pairing up some monstrous sex toys with matching monster romances. 

Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic By CM Nascosta

For those just dipping their toes into monster romances and toys, I would recommend Moon Blooded Breeding Clinic by CM Nascosta. You’ll follow Moriah as she uses a breeding clinic to help get pregnant after her recent divorce. The hot twist? This clinic uses werewolves and believes in insemination the old-fashioned way. This werewolf romance is great for beginners, as the main male love interest is mostly human with some fun enhancements downstairs. You can pair this read with any werewolf-themed dildos or dildos with knots. 

Bull Moon Rising By Ruby Dixon

Next up, we have Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon. This smutty romance is set in a fantasy world where digging for magical artifacts is a dangerous yet sought-after profession. Our main character, Aspeth, strikes a bargain with hulking minotaur Hawk. He’ll be her husband and chaperone, allowing her to become an apprentice if she helps him through his rut. If you have a size kink and love stubborn muscular men and buxom women, this is the series for you. For the full experience, I would recommend any large or bull-themed dildos.

Stalked By The Kraken By Lillian Lark

Into tentacle dildos? Then Stalked By The Kraken by Lillian Lark is the novel for you! Rose is a matchmaking witch who has lost her mojo and is in desperate need of raw magic. Enter a mysterious man who offers to supply that sensual magic, but only if she joins him. This book is fun, flirty and will have you diving into the deep end of monster romances in no time. Which makes it the perfect read for tentacle lovers, voyeurs and exhibitionists.

The Weaver By Tiffany Roberts

Watch out if you’re an arachnophobe, this recommendation is full of spiders… but in a hot way. The Weaver by Tiffany Roberts is set on a distant planet full of giant spider people, where a team of human colonists have crash-landed and must now try to survive on a hostile planet. So, what’s a girl like Ahmya supposed to do when one of these strangely hunky spidermen is ready to attend to her every need? This is definitely a book for the more advanced monster romance readers, but it is worth it. Add on some ovipositor sex toys, and you are in for a night of wild fun.

---

You can find all the books mentioned above on Booktopia or Amazon, and all the fun monstrous dildos in-house at Harlots Canberra or online retailers like Nothosaur or Bad Dragon. Feeling hot and horny after one of my recommendations or looking to try out a new purchase? You can see the stunning escorts available this week here.

Finding the right sex toy for you can be extremely difficult. There are so many different kinds, it can be hard to choose. This week, I’m going to help you narrow it down by telling you the pros and cons of the three main materials sex toys are made from.

Silicone

Silicone is the most common material for sex toys to be made from. It’s easy to clean, non-porous and great for transmitting tantalising vibrations. It can be used on a range of toys, like dildos, butt plugs, vibrators and many more. The main drawbacks of silicone-based toys is that they pick up fluff, hair and dust like you wouldn’t believe, so you’ll want to store them in a bag or drawer away from potential contaminants. You also need to be careful not to use silicone-based lubes, as they will degrade your toys over time, so stick with water-based lubricants instead.

Glass

Smooth, hard and gorgeous to look at, glass sex toys feel decadent against your skin. But they aren’t just beautiful, they are also perfect for temperature play. Whether you want to heat them up or cool them down, they can do both. They are also deliciously firm, perfect for hitting those internal pleasure spots. They’re also very easy to clean, just a rinse with hot water and then leave them to dry, and they’ll be ready for your next session. You can also use any lubricant you like; no need to worry about damaging your toy.
Looking at a glass sex toy, you might start to worry about it breaking, but don’t worry, they are made from borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is super durable and won’t shatter into lots of sharp little pieces if dropped.

Metal

Metal toys are very similar to glass ones. They are great for temperature play, durable, and compatible with all kinds of lube. Where metal toys excel is with weight play. If you enjoy a heftiness to your toys, then a metal toy will be perfect for you, and they come in a range of weights so you can find one that suits you best. Some metal toys can also work with an electric current. So, if you want to try out electronic stimulation, they are the toy for you. Just make sure you get a metal toy designed specifically for electronic stimulation.

Have you been thinking about buying a new vibrator for yourself or your partner? Well, do I have the recommendation for you! 

Womanizer is one of the top sex toy brands, and their Womanizer Duo 2 is proof of it. The Duo 2 combines a clitoral stimulator with a powerful G-spot vibrator, so you can hit both pleasure centres at the same time. There are 14 intensity levels and 10 different vibration patterns to choose from. As well as two different stimulation heads to fit different-shaped vaginas. Finding the right rhythm for your pleasure has never been easier. 

The Duo 2 is easy to clean and quick to charge. Although the magnetic charger can be a bit finicky. I would recommend you double-check that the charging light is flashing, the toy is secure, and it won’t be easily bumped to ensure it is fully charged when you want to play. There is nothing worse than being ready for a round of pleasure only to find out your favourite toy is out of battery.

One of the best features of the Duo 2 is its Afterglow function. Once you’ve brought yourself to a mind-numbing orgasm, you can short-press the power button to bring the intensity level down to the lowest setting. This means you can drag your orgasm out for longer without overstimulating your clitoris.

Another bonus of buying a Womanizer product is their 5-year warranty. If your vibrator breaks, simply submit a warranty request with the retailer you purchased it from and you will be well on your way to receiving a replacement.

If this piqued your interest, you can buy a Womanizer Duo 2 from Amazon or Lovehoney.

1. Creating a Safe and Inclusive Space

One of the primary purposes of adult stores is to create a safe and inclusive environment where individuals can explore their sexuality free from judgment or stigma.

Beyond the sale of adult toys and accessories, many adult stores offer a wealth of resources and information aimed at promoting sexual health and wellness.

By prioritising education and awareness, adult stores empower individuals to take control of their sexual health and explore their desires in a safe and responsible manner.

3. Fostering Intimacy and Connection

At their core, adult stores are about more than just products—they’re about fostering intimacy and connection between partners. Whether it’s playing with new toys, exploring fantasies, or simply spicing up the bedroom routine, adult stores offer a myriad of options for couples looking to deepen their bond and rekindle their passion. With so much available, adult stores encourage individuals to get to know themselves and couples to get to know each other.

Adult stores serve as invaluable resources for individuals and couples seeking to explore and enhance their intimate experiences. By providing a safe, inclusive, and educational environment, these establishments empower customers to embrace their sexuality, prioritise their sexual health, and deepen their connections with their partners. Whether it’s through the purchase of a new toy, attendance at a workshop, or simply a conversation with a friendly staff member, the value and purpose of adult stores extend far beyond the products on their shelves.
