Wooden sex toy manufacturer NobEssence makes some of the most beautiful — and expensive — sex toys out there. And while most of their toys retail for upwards of $150, there is a magical place on the internet that has killer prices on NobEssence toys: SheVibe. I’ve long admired SheVibe for their freakish prices and cute site… and it turns out they’re hells of generous, too!
When SheVibe offered to help me give away a toy, I decided it had to be something from NobEssence. I am in deep, deep love with the Seduction dildo and the Romp butt plug, and I believe everyone should own a wooden sex toy. I’ve already given away a Romp, but seriously, there is always room for another wooden sex toy giveaway.
Because I love you all, the winner of this giveaway will get to choose whichever NobEssence toy they want from SheVibe — butt plug, dildo, cock ring, kegel exerciser, whichever they most desire. And this giveaway is open to my international readers!* Beautiful, yes?
Twitter trivia parties!

I’d love to try the allure – I’m a fan of knobby textures and it’s shape really intrigues me.

I think I would want the Tryst – it seems like just the right size for me, and I love that there is a smooth texture and a knobby texture for a little variety. The knobby end also seems like it would make the perfect handle.
And, as far as subscriptions – I have had you in my RSS feed reader for quite a while now!
June 6th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
I subscribe to you.
I need to stalk- erm… FOLLOW your awesomeness somehow right?
The NobEssence Seduction is absolutely awesome looking. That’s totally the one I would choose. <3 Mostly because I like the smoother design of it. Not as many bloops and shctuff. I've been exploring harder dildos like this after a mindblowing experience with my Man. I never really got the hang of them by myself, but now that he has shown me the light, I can't help but wanting to expanding my collection over and over and over again!
June 6th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
I want the Nobessence Seduction!! It’s so fucking gorgeous. I’ve never tried a wooden toy, and I desperately want this amazing sculpture to be my first. <3

Oh gawd! Can’t I just say all of them?! I mean, the Seduction, the Tryst and the Intrigue all look amazing. If I absolutely have to choose I think I’d like the Intrigue because it’s beautiful and the name is awesome. Plus I’ve heard it gives people awesome orgasms.
I’ll see you at your twitter parties, lady!

I think I’d choose the Intrigue, because of the variety of shapes available on it. Then again, the Fling looks wonderfully ergonomic…! I might have trouble picking.

Okay, I know this is going to sound strange, but there is one review I simply can not get over, and I read it a lot. That is your Romp review. OMG, I need and can not live without this toy. Kris won’t buy it for me, so you’re my last hope.
June 6th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
I love the Tryst! It’s gorgeous, sleek, and would be the ideal addition to my collection!
June 6th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
I WANT ALL OF THEM! But I think the one I want the most is the Allure. Dildos that have G-spot stimulation AND a great texture for my vaginal walls ALWAYS get me off.
I’ve posted on my blog here: http://pandadementia.com/?p=564
And I’ve also subscribed via RSS.
June 6th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Ah, you know me . . . I want that Romp. Or, better said, my ass wants the Romp. It knows that I have not provided it with the excellent, quality sort of playthings that my pussy gets to enjoy- nothing back there has been beautifully crafted with exquisite design. There have been questionable materials. There have been painful and uncomfortable shapes. And there have been far too many makeshift items I’m surprised weren’t lost to my innards. Basically, my ass feels it’s time has come; it deserves the Romp
And while I check your site often enough that e-mail seems kinda silly, no way am I lettin’ three entries go; I subscribed via e-mail.
June 6th, 2010 at 5:25 pm
I subbed via RSS google reader.
I would choose the Allure because it’s sleek looking and I enjoy g-spot play and knobby textures. I’ve never owned a wooden toy, and would love this alluring toy to be my first!
June 6th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
I want a Seduction! It’s absolutely gorgeous.

I vote for the Intrigue. Love those dual ends. The straighter end looks like a larger version of my beloved Flow.
June 6th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
I’d welcome Linger to my toybox because it is so ecofriendly and its texture looks exciting.
June 6th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
I totally would love the Seduction. G-Spot dildos rock.
They always just feel the best too. Great giveaway! 
June 6th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
I’m pretty sure I want the Intrigue. It looks really versatile and still has that amazing smoothness that figures into all my wood fantasies. Er… you know what I mean.
Also subscribed via email! I always visit, but the announcements (and extra entries) won’t hurt.
June 6th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
I would want the Fling, for the finger grips..the fullness and the G-Spot action! Plus, I have never tried a wooden dildo..

I would LOVE one of each please.. Ok seriously, if I had to choose I would want to try the Linger. Love the beaded shape graduated and the finger hold.

Seduction, definitely. Although I like the Linger as well. Ok, settled BOTH!

Woohoooooo! I’m excited about this contest! I would definitely want either the Seduction because it looks like it would work well with my body (and you recommend it so highly) OR the Allure because its shape looks so interesting and delicious. This is an exciting contest and I seriously cannot wait for the Twitter parties; I love me some Twitter parties.
Oh, and a question I’ve had (that might be obvious but still): if you hold a contest and someone enters who is already subscribed to you, do you automatically add those entries? Just wonderin’!

June 7th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
oh, the romp would be my choice — it looks so beautiful… i don’t have any “harder” toys at all; i’ve always stuck to silicone… but something about that wooden shape is VERY appealing…

I’ve never used a wood toy before, it’s seems kinda odd and exciting all at the same time! Something about the Seduction seems nice since it’s so simple yet elegant looking.

June 7th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
It was YOUR description of the Romp that made me try anal toys for the first time. I can’t begin to say how much I want to try the Romp.
June 7th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
Cool contest. Maybe consider paginating your comments?
I own no wood so this would be awesome. I think the Fling looks cool but I’d probably ask your opinion first XD

The Tryst looks absolutely delightful (and quite versatile) to me. I kind of need it to survive. Although based on your review, I might need the Romp even more because I’m just getting into anal.

It took me a really long time to decide which NobEssence toy I want. But finally, with some help from my boyfriend, I have settled on the Allure. I like the look of those bloops on the narrower end; I’ve never tried anything like that before. I think the nob thing on the other end is wider than any of my toys, but probably not too wide, especially since it narrows so quickly.

I would love the Seduction dildo. All of these toys are gorgeous!
June 9th, 2010 at 12:01 am
I desperately want the Seduction because your reviews and FORCEFUL BEATINGS have convinced me that it’s amazing. My g-spot also wants to be caressed by a piece of wood that is not a branch I have hacked from a nearby tree. It wants class and sophistication.
In addition to this you know bb that your posts are all up in my RSS feed and I loves it. Loves it I say.
FINALLY I shall blog on this topic. You will receive a link to said blog post once I’m done because I am good like that. The blog post will be on the topic of WOODLAND CREATURES and include a video of how to repair a butterfly, a sheep and nobessence dils.
June 9th, 2010 at 6:19 am
Ohh, they’re all so beautiful! But if I had to choose just one it’d be the Romp. I don’t have any anal toys yet, and it looks like it would be just perfect – lovely, just big enough, and safe to leave in if my Dom wants to order me to wear it around.
June 9th, 2010 at 10:34 am
I would really like the Seduction because it’s obviously superior and my g-spot is all like “GIMME BITCH.” so I have to follow her command.

Oh, and I already subscribe to your dumb RSS feed.
June 10th, 2010 at 1:46 am
I want the Tryst! I love that it is essentially two toys in one. One side has the wonderful thicker smooth curves to fill you up and the other has the lovely knobs to give a changing sensation with every movement. I also love how each end doubles as the handle when you’re using the other end. Good hand placement is important to me. After all, if my wrist or hand is uncomfortable, how will I enjoy myself? There were several others I wouldn’t mind trying either, but the Tryst definitely stands out.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:42 am
Oooh I would love the NobEssence Allure Sculptured Hardwood Dildo. I’m experimenting with dildos and just loving the idea of wood and metal as materials. I have a metal dildo at the moment and would love a wooden one–why this one in particular? Well, G-spot stimulation as well as beads! Best of both worlds! Experimentation for the win!
June 10th, 2010 at 8:17 am

i’d love to have the Fling. it looks like it would be wonderful for fullness & gspot stim.
also, the twitter trivia parties are an ingenious idea

First of all, this totally rocks. You’re giving us a shot at some Nobessence awesomeness? Yay!
I’d love to get my hands on the Intrigue. Its shape is just so deliciously yummy looking. I like smooth, hard, swooping shapes, and this looks like it would be a perfect match for me. And I’ve never tried a wooden toy before…

I have been admiring the Tryst for a long time now — I love having different textures to play with on the same toy. Mmm.

Whohoo!
June 11th, 2010 at 11:58 am
I would definitely go for the NobEssence Intrigue Sculptured Hardwood Dildo because the g-spot/p-spot stimulation could be gentle or fairly intense depending on the angle used and the ridges and curves looks like they’d be a ton of fun. I’ve never had a wood toy before and I think it would be an amazing thing to try and review on my new site!
June 12th, 2010 at 12:42 am
Ok, can I just say that the little example squares of what the different woods look like on the NobEssence site are gorgeous? My dad is a woodworker who used to make cabinets and doors and stuff for wealthier people, and he has some serious skills. My bedroom door is a dutch door with a top and bottom that swing open separately, and it has some really gorgeous woods in it. One of them is purple heart, and I believe there’s some wenge in it as well. ANYWAY. These woods are obviously gorgeous. I think that one thing I really like about NobEssence toys (or at least the idea of them because I haven’t seen or used one) is the uniqueness… because no two pieces of wood are the same and obviously no two NobEssence toys will be -exactly- the same. I’m really attracted to a lot of them, including the Intrigue and the Tryst, but I think the Seduction interests me most. I think it just looks really great, and smooth, and natural, and really fun.

June 12th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
The Linger, definitely. It would work well for anal of course but I can imagine those bumps would feel really good vaginally too, if they were moving fast. And during partner play, the hole in the handle makes it an extension of your lover’s finger. It looks so practical and beautiful.
Also, my blogpost about the giveaway is here: http://lovesickrobot.com/2010/06/08/three-things-deadlines

I love the Intrigue. It looks incredibly sleek and has a great shape.
June 14th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
Ooh, shiny things! I would be torn between the Romp, as I am really getting into anal sex and toys and the Seduction. *purrs* I am a big fan of gspot orgasms, but sadly only have one gspot toy and it doesn’t really do much for me.
Also, I am totally stalking you via twitter (_Gingerkitten) and email now. I’d been meaning to for a month or so, and the contest was the kick in the arse I needed.
June 15th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
1) I want the Romp because I heard so many good thing about it and I like anal toys. Plus I need a wood anal toy. I mean I’ve stuck silicone, plastic, glass, aluminum, stainless steal and even platinum up there but no wood this makes me said.
2) I’ve been an RSS subscriber for a long time now

So I just discovered the subscribe via email. I can’t wait to get updates on my BB! I have never heard of NobEssence but after looking them up, they have beautiful products! I am most excited about the NobEssence Fling. I love the design with the two finger holes in it. I think that it would be a welcome feature as basically every toy requires you to grip around it, not always through it! It would be amazing to try this model. I didn’t know wood sex toys existed, but thanks to your blog I now have a few new ideas for my x-rated wishlist!
