Lovehoney drops huge National Orgasm Day sale with up to 50 per cent off sex toys to help close the ‘pleasure gap'
Lovehoney is turning up the volume on pleasure this week with a steamy sale that's too good to keep quiet about.
To mark National Orgasm Day (31st July), the sexual wellness brand is giving you up to 50 per cent off more than 1000 of its bestselling toys and accessories.
All you need is the code THEBIGO at checkout, and the confidence to say yes to more mind-blowing me-time.
Running from 1am Thursday to 1am Saturday, this cheeky little event is more than just an excuse to upgrade your top drawer.
It's part of a bigger push to close what Lovehoney calls the 'pleasure gap', which refers to the frustrating divide in sexual satisfaction between men and women.
Their recent survey of Australians confirms what many already know from experience: blokes are getting off a lot more often.
While 53 per cent of Aussie men say they masturbate at least once a week, just 26 per cent of women do the same.
And a not-so-fun fact — a whopping 60 per cent of women have faked it, compared to just 22 per cent of men.
So, what better time to invest in something (or someone) that always finishes the job?
Whether you're flying solo or bringing your partner along for the ride, here are some of the hottest picks included in the sale:
1. Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator, $139.95

Perfect for beginners and bling-lovers alike, this petite plug adds sparkle to your booty with a pink gem base.
The firm metal can be heated or cooled for temperature play that really turns up the heat (or chill).
3. Lovehoney Deluxe Rechargeable Mini Metallic Massage Wand, $69.95
Cute, compact and buzzing with power, this metallic wand is proof that good things come in small, travel-friendly packages.
With seven patterns and 10 intensity levels, it'll sort your neck tension and your other kind of tension.
4. Womanizer X Lovehoney Pro40 Rechargeable Clitoral Stimulator, $139.95
Lily Allen swears by it, and thousands of reviewers agree.

Aussie band break-up but will play in Perth one more time
Northeast Party House has called time on their career as a band, having been together for 15 years and more than a year after their guitarist quit. The electronic band hailing from Melbourne announced on Tuesday, taking to social media to share the devastating news. 'From the very beginning, our dream was to make shows feel like house parties with friends. We never imagined that party would last 15 years,' the band said on Instagram. 'It's been a wild, lucky, beautiful ride.' However, the band will be leaving fans with a bang, going on one last run of shows across the country on The Final Party tour. Kicking off at Freo Social on October 17, the band will stop off in Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

G Flip leaves Americans shocked over Aussie pub staple
Musician G Flip may live in Los Angeles with their wife now, but they're still all about Aussie culture — taking to TikTok to share things from life Down Under they've noticed surprise Americans. The Worst Person Alive singer, born Georgia Flipo, posted a video on Thursday explaining to viewers the iconic Aussie tradition of meat tray raffles. 'So you go to the pub, and you can buy raffle tickets to win a meat tray — and you just win a tray of various meats and sausages, and then you go home with the meat tray,' the singer explained in the video, which has already amassed more than 666,000 views. 'Everyone I've ever told that to who's American can't believe it, they're like what the f***.' The singer explained that the first time their wife, Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, came to Australia they had attended a Darwin pub together but failed to take home the tray. Stause was quick to comment about their attempt, saying she wants to win a tray 'even though I know it will give me meat sweats and likely food poisoning'. Other Americans, however, weren't as sold on the idea of a meat tray. 'So, you just carry around a bunch of raw meat for the rest of the night and let it warm up in your famously hot weather?' one stumped American queried. 'As a Texan, I am SHOCKED this is a thing,' another chimed in. The winner of the raffle will typically take home a large tray filled with meat, known as a meat tray. Credit: Supplied Aussies were quick to defend the time-honoured tradition, with even Aussie beer legends Victoria Bitters rallying behind Down Under culture. 'A hard-earned raffle deserves a big cold meat tray,' the brand wrote, earning a like and shocked 'VB!?!' reply from G Flip. 'Winning the meat tray is like winning three million dollars,' another Aussie wrote. Despite shocking Americans with the meat tray, the star wasn't done discussing the cultural divide — following up with a video about pen licenses on Wednesday morning. 'In Australia, when you're like eight or nine — roughly like grade three I think – you do a test to deem if you're ready to upgrade from a pencil to a pen,' the singer explained. 'You've got to make sure (your writing)'s all legible and your letters look great, and then your teacher will grade you and you'll get a certificate that says now you can use your pen — meaning you earned your pen license. 'But apparently Americans, you don't get a pen license and you're out here using pencils until you're in your teens... what?! That's a lot of sharpening,' she joked. Americans, including the musician's wife Stause, were again quick to flood the comments of the videos shocked over the information. 'This cannot be true at all,' Stause commented about the revelation. 'A license?! You mean we're just out here using these things illegally??' a fan said. Another American chimed in with follow-up questions for the singer: 'Can you get it revoked? Who would revoke it?' The Drink Too Much singer is set to begin their Dream Ride tour next month, with a show at the Fremantle Arts Centre lined up for March 2026.

'Old-school feel': new chapter for historic Islington hotel
The painted black walls and windows are gone, the sticky floors replaced, and potted plants hang from the ceiling. The Newcastle Hotel on Maitland Road is now the Islington Barracks Hotel, and its shift from a nightclub to family-friendly local pub has rendered it almost unrecognisable. Newcastle locals Lukas Thodas, and brothers John and Phil Elsley, wasted no time putting their stamp on the 135-year-old hotel after agreeing to take over the lease earlier this year. "The owners approached us about the hotel and asked if we wanted to have a go, and we're all Newcastle boys, and we'd always look at the pub and go 'Oh, it could be awesome', so we took it on," Thodas said. "I used to go there with work colleagues when I was 18 or 19 and worked at The Exchange, it was the only place open when we finished our shift, so I had a bit of a soft spot for the place." The trio also lease the Lambton Park Hotel and own the Grand Hotel in Newcastle, while the Elsleys own "a bunch of other venues" including Bartholomew's in Newcastle and Good Folk Brewing Co. in Hamilton. "All our pubs are proper pubs. What we've done at the Grand is to restore it back to that traditional style, and with the Islington Barracks, it's got that original old-school feel as well," Thodas said. "We just wanted to make sure we made it a locals' pub, and so far, so good. The feedback has been great from the community." The 139 Maitland Road premises has had various names over the years, including the Criterion, the Barracks, King George Tavern, the Newy and the Gateway. It looked very different, Thodas says, when he was first handed the keys. "All the windows in the bar were blacked out when we took over. There was a DJ set-up in the main bar and in the dining area, there was a DJ set-up in the front room, and then there was the ballroom section which has the full stage set-up as well," he said. "The whole venue was operating as a club. "We've gutted the dining area. Every surface in there is new, there's new booth seating ... there's even a new soundproof ceiling. We put a completely new kitchen in, and we redid the beer garden. There's a totally different feel now. It's come up well." The hotel's new colour palette was inspired by the original tiles in the bar area, some of which feature a lion motif. "I look at this pub as a bit of a mix between the other two pubs. We're going for that community focus - family friendly, dog friendly in the beer garden, the menu is all gluten-free - but we'll also have the live music element in the band room, and lots of different sports on televisions in the front bar," Thodas said. It was certainly a warm and welcoming space to visit for lunch on a cold and rainy day, and the beer garden will no doubt be popular in the summer months. The food offering is a definite point of difference. It's gluten-free and coeliac-friendly, and executive chef Jeremy Fahy cooks on a spit rotisserie which he says is "partly French-influenced, partly classic Aussie '80s bistro" in style. The mixed rotisserie plate for two is a must-try: a flavoursome mix of pork, chicken and lamb with drip-pan potatoes, endive, apple and walnut salad, and sauce. Delicious. So, too, were the rotisserie chicken croquettes (slow-cooked rotisserie chicken with chicken fat bechamel). Fahy says the rotisserie rolls are popular: the Classic Chicken Roll (herb-roasted chicken, butter, gravy and fries), Pork and Apple Roll (salsa verde apple slaw, mustard mayo and crackling lamb), Mint Roll (pulled lamb, minted yoghurt, cucumber and pickled onion) and the Mushroom and Brie Roll (garlic mushrooms, brie, caramelised onion and dijon mayo). All the pub classics are there, too, and in gluten-free form: schniztels, burgers, rump steaks and fries. The wine list has a strong Hunter Valley presence. The upstairs rooms are being refurbished, and a variety of live gigs have already been booked, including I See Stars (US), Justice Crew and comedian Julian Woods. "We're not going to pigeonhole ourselves into a certain style, and we'll have regular non-ticketed events too," Thodas said. "Now that we're open, plus the The Oak, Cross Keys Hotel, The Oriental, you can actually go on a suburban pub crawl on the fringe of the CBD, kind of like Enmore, Surry Hills and Newtown on Sydney's fringe. "It's good for the area, I think, to have these places open up to the community." The painted black walls and windows are gone, the sticky floors replaced, and potted plants hang from the ceiling.
