Flowers & 50 Shades of Grey for Valentine’s

Valentine’s Day is a headache, no doubt about it. There’s an onus on boyfriends, fiancés and husbands to make a stand. Even if you don’t ‘celebrate’ it, you’ve got to do something with the lady and that’s where Gift Flowers HK comes in. The 100% online florist stocks various treats for Valentine’s Day, while their sister site, Gift Hampers HK even sells a “Fifty Shades of Grey” erotic hamper ($590 delivered). However dire the writing, you can’t argue with the return you’ll get on that investment.

Porsche Simulators Meet Speed Dating

Sideways, the racing car simulator specialist, is hosting a novel speed dating night with Double Happiness Dating combining Porsches with potential love interests. We just hope the boys manage to keep the pick up lines to themselves because there’s a lot to choose from. We’re talking about being first over the finishing line, gear stick control, spark plugs, reclining seats, 0-60 in…, and “what have you got under the bonnet darling?’” It’s a minefield.

Send Risque Photos that Disappear

Snapchat is a photo sharing app that lets you send images with an extremely short shelf life, up to 10 seconds to be precise. The founders deny it’s a sexting app but we can’t think of another use for it. Imagine, you’ve fancied a girl for ages and although you normally wouldn’t dream of sending her a photo of your package resting on a cereal box, you’ve had a couple of drinks and send her a Snapchat picture. She’ll see it, open-mouthed, for a few seconds and then bang - it’s gone. She won’t be able to send it to her pals, she won’t even be sure if it was there. But she’ll KNOW.

Inventive App Explains Why You Got Dumped

WotWentWrong is a cool new app that tells you why you got dumped. We like it bar the nauseating spelling of 'Wot'. We don't say wot. We're not spotty teenagers struggling to hear our mothers down the stairs. Either way, the app's useful because you might want to know why she won't speak to you any more. You thought the first date went well but you're also not the type of man who deserves a restraining order for trying to find out.

Flower Subscriptions for Busy Men

Pacific Petals is a new Hong Kong company offering online flower subscriptions all year round, which means you no longer have to puzzle over petunias yourself to make her smile. Needless to say, buying bouquets doesn't come naturally to us, but it’s an essential part of being a good (or apologetic) boyfriend. And remember, ensuring she gives you leave for that stag trip can come down to a perfectly timed flower delivery.

With Lingerie Show & Open Bar

Sheer, a new lingerie boutique on Wyndham St, is hosting a Men Only Valentine’s Party on Thursday, February 9 with a lingerie show and other treats in store. It's one for the boys that ultimately benefits the ladies, which is about as fair as Valentine's isn't. Why do we have to fork out every year for this fictional date? Still, picking quality lingerie is a clear signal of your value as a mate so it’s an evolutionary imperative to head along.

Something Special for Valentine's Day

Flaunt has a selection of lingerie for Valentine's Day that stakes a claim to make it a genuine religious holiday. It's a great gift because men and women love lingerie. In fact, it's one of the few things both sexes agree on. Whether it's films, flatulence or female beauty (women always rate prettiness over sex appeal) the two genders sit on other sides of the fence, but over lingerie they come together.

The average diamond is 3.3 billion years old so you’d best be prepared if you plan on getting married in this lifetime.

On certain topics we value a female perspective and one such topic is lady underwear. To keep you in the loop with the XX chromosome we’ve invited guest contributor Gillian Chu to explain what men should look for when they’re buying lingerie and where they can get it in Hong Kong.

Unique Romantic Experiences for Busy Men

Partner Pulsit: Ignite Experience is a brilliant new business that helps busy, working men maintain the zest of their relationships through a variety of one-off packages without any of the organizational headache. You just get in touch with them and they’ll sort everything out, making you look like Johnny Depp without having to wipe the mayonnaise off your face or close your Excel spreadsheet during your lunch break.

Travel Breaks for Post Break Ups

If you’ve just had a painful break up the best thing you can normally do is go on holiday and Die Liebeskuemmerer caters for exactly that market. The German company arranges holidays for 6 – 8 people suffering from the break up blues but we imagine these trips could go either way. Sure, you could have a raucous time, orgies and make friends for life or it could all end early with a suicide pact.

We’ve all noticed smiling sex workers in Wan Chai looking for their daily pay packet but underneath the cheap veneer of happiness are startling revelations ranging from the clinical robbery of foreign businessmen to allegations of police brutality.

Aphrodisiac DinnerNext Wed

Coast Bistro & Bar, Showtime Lingerie, Belvedere Vodka and a host of other big names are holding an aphrodisiac themed dinner next Wednesday. It's bound to be a hit. After all, food and sexuality form a well trodden path to a man's heart - so long as curry's not involved. A lamb bhuna is game over for romance.

Rather than powdered rhino horn or illicit pills bought in Mong Kok, this aphrodisiac event centers round food and entertainment. Guests will sit down to a 3-course dinner complemented by a theatrical lingerie show. It all sounds very exciting. We’re hoping for Shakespeare meets Sex & Zen 3D.

The evening will be compared by Grace Underfire, a drag queen, and you’ll receive a welcome drink on arrival, which like the food, will be aphrodisiac inspired. The meal starts with an Australian seafood platter, while for the main course guests will be offered a choice between the likes of steak and lamb. We’re not sure about the aphrodisiac connection but they’ll suit red blooded males. The food then comes to an end with sweet treats such as chocolate dipped figs - by which point we expect an orgy of Roman proportions.

A ticket costs HKD680 (unless you're a NecesCity reader) which is significant but you get a lot for your money, including a bottle of Moet between two people. Other highlights, meanwhile, range from a top tier raffle to a performance by singer, Rachel Elizabeth Williams. Unless you’re bed-ridden with bubonic plague you’ve got no excuses for not forking out.

Heaven.

Delectable Ladies Giving Handyman Advice

EyeHandy is a website featuring videos of gorgeous girls offering handyman advice, from how to replace a kitchen faucet to how to treat a jellyfish sting. According to Tara (one of the site’s protagonists), contrary to popular belief, you don’t treat a jellyfish sting by peeing on it. Which is jolly good for Tara, otherwise she'd be performing in some rather unwholesome cinema.

Scientific Kit Finds Your Perfect Match by Scent

A Swiss company called Basisnote claims to have produced a kit that scientifically profiles your scent, enabling them to find your perfect love match. It’s a bold statement and we’re not talking about your Black Orchid or whatever Eau de Toilette you like to put on – this is your natural, Eau de Toilet smell.

Tips for the Constant Adulterer

You’ve been marked. Things have gotten out of control with one of your little consorts and she’s taken the plunge – into your neck. Now don’t get us wrong, we like a little rodeo role-play as much as the next buck, but a mark like this is like the walk of shame; everyone knows what it means, especially those from whom you’d just as happily keep it hidden.

Key Tutorial for Serial Womanisers

It’s one of the oldest territorial marks of the fairer sex, a more elegant version of our ‘love bites’, and if you’re caught with the wrong shade at the wrong time, you’re on an express train to what Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) describes in The Big Lebowski as “a world of pain”.

App Tells You When Crush Changes Their Relationship Status

Breakup Notifier is a newly launched Facebook add-on that tells you when 'friends' you'd rather be 'friendlier' with have changed their relationship status. It’s a brilliant idea that’s probably more fun than useful, but unsurprisingly this 21st century mating antennae has surged to the top of the iTunes downloads chart. It's simple, playful and useful but the really interesting question is; what would you do with this information?

Stop Drunken Social Media Suicide

The Social Media Sobriety Test is a simple Chrome and Firefox that stops you from tweeting, emailing, posting and so on when you’re drunk. It’s a much needed addition to our tool kit.

Dejavu Hosting Lingerie Show in Republik this Friday

Dejavu Lingerie is holding a catwalk show this Friday in Republik, featuring six gorgeous models in its summer collection. It should prove a fertile hunting ground for staring at expensive clothing that exhibits an inverse correlation between its hefty price – and the amount of material used.

Sex Toys for Boys (& Girls)

Partner Pulsit: Sex toys are wonderful. They can look as scary as medieval weaponry or as innocuous as a lip-stick: a real plus if you’re travelling with hand-luggage. They inspire curiosity like few other products. When handed an adult toy you can’t help but go silent and turn it upside down to try and uncover its secrets. Like handling a magic dwarf.

Giving Condoms to the Third World

We all know how important it is to wrap up before you dive in (and no, we're not talking about plastic rain coats at all-you-can-eat rib joints). It seems nature has a team of monkeys working around the clock thinking up new sexually transmitted diseases that will turn your best mate (and not the one you went to school with) green, purple, black, or even worse...gulp...detached.

Become An Organised Date-A-Holic

Dating is never an easy sport, no matter how much fun it is to the worldlier among us. There are so many new details to absorb in those crucial first dates, so many facts and figures to hold on to lest there be a test (and you know there always is).

Because Giving is Receiving

Valentines Day can be tricky for the imaginatively-disabled, and say what you like about it being contrived by florists, cardmakers and chocolatiers – what we give is a reflection of who we are. We’re expected to become mind readers and crack the gift-giving code so this Valentines let NecesCity be your guide:

Sex Experts in CWB

We all have those moments of inspiration, when the perfect pleasuring device comes to mind, when tools of titillation appear in our imaginations, as if by magic. Believe us; if it’s kinky and comes with microchips, the Japanese have already invented it, but if you’re in the market for, say, a battery-operated vibrator that keeps time with your iPod, you won’t need a plane ticket to Kinkyville.

Lifestyle Boutique in HK Stocks the Big One

Don’t deny it. The question has definitely crossed your mind: Does size really matter? Whatever the answer, if you are so well-endowed that even a horse would look at you green with envy, you’d want to avoid the embarrassment of ‘bagging up’ with a locally bought cock sock that doesn’t quite fit. Well, brother, here’s the right rubber for you.
