There were twelve zodiac signs in Chinese astrology. Let us take a brief look at them and what Relationship Counselor & Clinical Sexologist Dr. Martha Tara Lee would recommend each of them.
1) Tiger – The person born in the寅 Tiger year was usually said to be fierce and aggressive. The male寅 Tiger might be a shrewd planner while the female寅 Tiger could be alluring. The 寅 Tiger person might like to hunt for opportunities. They might be somewhat inflexible in their dealings.
I would like to recommend the Fun Factory G5 Vibes Tiger Ribbed G Spot Vibrator in red. Red because it is not only an auspicious colour but energy giving and will undoubtedly be fun for the adventurous person.
2) Rabbit – The person born in the 卯 Rabbit year could be more flexible. They could change their opinions easily or be swayed by the current trends. The卯 Rabbit people tend to be more possessive and thrifty. They might take more care about their expenditures.
If you and your lover are at it like rabbits, or like to dress as the part – how about a vibrating Happy Rabbit bunny tail butt plug. Featuring a fluffy tail and an ultra-smooth vibrating bulb, this plug gives you bootyful bliss, transforming your tush into Buzz Bunsy. Enter the Happy Rabbit medium rechargeable vibrating bunny tail butt plug 4.75 inch!
3) Dragon – The 辰 Dragon was the only mythical creature in the Chinese zodiac. It was the popular notion that people born in辰 Dragon year might be most fortunate or favoured by Heaven. Some 辰 Dragon people might be impetuous or charismatic.
I recommend the Iroha Zen Hanacha Silicon Ribbed G Spot massager. The external rows of silicon pleats adorning the outer silicone seems to resemble the dragon like texture. However, don’t be mistaken with the external, the vibrator is super soft and this textured toy should be a fun one for the dragon to experience.
4) Snake – People born in the巳 Snake year were assumed to be cunning or perhaps even treacherous. The 巳 Snake person could be beautiful or seductive. They might be careful not to attract too much attention. They tend to be cautious in business matters.
I recommend the Lovsense Osci 2 app controlled oscillating G spot vibrator because it is literally shaped like a snake. Instead of vibrating like traditional sex toys, the motor moves the vibrations in and out. It can be used for clitoral or G-spot stimulation. The toy is Bluetooth enabled and allows for the control of vibrations from any distance and there are versatile ways to do that, including sounds activated control, sync to music control and by creating unlimited vibration patterns.
5) Horse – The午 Horse was known to be a travelling animal. Therefore, people born in the午 Horse year might have to travel a good deal to earn their living. The午 Horse people might be independent, eloquent or outspoken. They have a tendency to show off or display their possessions or collections.
Since the Horse is on the road a lot, I would recommend the Iroha – Stick Lilac x Black Lipstick vibrator. As the name suggests, this vibrator is small, easy to hold, and allows self-care as pleasurable and simple as the other small indulgences in your daily life. Whether you might be in the bath, the bedroom, or on the road, the iroha stick is always ready!
6) Goat – The未 Goat was a domestic farmyard animal. The people born in the未 Goat year might tend to stay at home or enjoy domestic bliss. The未 Goat people might be gentle or full of their dreams. But they might find it difficult to apply their dreams in practice.
I’m not recommending a sex toy but a lubricant containing, what else, horny goat weed. This ingredient is believed to enhances libido by increasing energy and stimulating sexual hormone production. In addition, this water-based lubricant is slippery, non-sticky, long lasting. Made with botanical eco-certified ingredients, it is Gylcerin, Paraben, Petroleum and Gluten Free, as well as vegan, condom and toy friendly.
7) Monkey – The申 Monkey like to climb and be active. The popular concept might be that people born in the申 Monkey year tend to be extremely active and agile people. The申 Monkey people might be unorthodox but gracious and hospitable. They could also tend to be impulsive or extravagant.
I am recommending Lovense Lush 3 app-controlled silicon bullet egg vibrator. Not only that, people born in the year of the Monkey will appreciate the long tail antenna and the multiple ways to play with this Bluetooth remote vibrator. You can tease with sound activated vibration and sync it to your favourite music on the go.
8) Rooster – The people born in the酉 Rooster might tend to be more fertile than other people. They could be resourceful or practical people who know how to implement their plans.
I recommend the Tenga Egg for Roosters for its shape, specifically the Tenga – Egg Cool Edition Wavy Masturbator. Designed for one-time use, the Tenga Egg Series may look small, but their super-stretchable material can fit penis owners of almost any size! Manufactured from TPE material, the inside of this egg male toy is covered in sunburst shaped patterns that promises to become a stimulant during the session.
9) Dog – The戌 Dog was faithful and said to be Man’s best friend. Thus, people born in the戌 Dog year might turn out to be faithful companions. The戌 Dog people might tend to be more analytical and prone to doing research. They might turn out to be reliable and trustworthy people.
Best inserted in doggy style position, I recommend the Lovense Hush app Control Butt Plug vibrator large 1.75”. The world’s first remote teledildonic butt plug, the bulb and neck have been optimized to provide more stability and even stronger P-Spot stimulation – this means hands-free fun and that it stays put! Suitable fordiscreet public play besides solo play or foreplay – it’s all play!
10) Pig – The people born in the亥 Pig year might be affectionate and passionate. They might be more concerned about their looks. They might also like to travel extensively.
Who doesn’t like lazing in bed and receiving a massage? I recommend the Sutil Love Potion 17 Massage oil. Made with ethically cultivated essential oils extracted from plant, it is made with Almond Oil, Ylang Ylang, Geranium, Cedarwood, Tangerine, Cinnamon, Ginger & Vit. E. The result is a scent that is soft and sweet with just a hint of citrus.
11) Rat – The people born in the子 Rat year might be more cunning and adaptable. They knew how to be flexible and adapt to the changing circumstances. They could be clever and devious. Some of them might be eloquent or witty.
I like to recommend the Tenga Geo Gracier. The beautiful three-dimensional shape that colors the surface changes into dense internal details when turned inside out. Rather than experience pleasure in the same ways, male masturbators such as the Geo can help our Rat become more adaptable in the bedroom.
12) Ox – The people born in the 丑 Ox year might be quiet, laid back but strong and diligent. They might keep their opinions to themselves. They liked to think things over before making a decision. They usually disliked showing off.
I recommend the WeVibe Wand because it is a strong external body massager for the tired person who works consistently hard and diligently. You can sorely ease your sore muscles with this smart phone app-controlled body massager which can take you from 0 to 100 and anywhere in between!
So, we have it! Something for each of the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals. Do you have a differing opinion of what should be recommended? We love to hear from you!
