Getting to know yourself is fun. Do you like orange juice or cranberry juice? Do you like having short hair or long hair? Do you enjoy getting caught in the rain? What about pina coladas?
Those are totally great questions to start with if you want to determine your preferences for a variety of things. How about this one: What’s your favorite sex toy?
Whoa. Line crossed.
Before you run away to wash your face because you just exposed your pure eyes to entirely too much intimacy on a simple lifestyle blog, give the best sex toys a chance. You don’t have to be a 50 Shades wannabe to enjoy a little assistance or kink in the bedroom…or in the kitchen or on your couch, for that matter.
You’ll figure out what gets you goin’…
That was cryptic. But seriously — you haven’t had the big O until you’ve had it with a vibrating dildo. Using this toy in your private time will make you more conscious of your body during sex with someone else because now you know where your, ahem, button is hanging out.
Just in case…
I am thoroughly convinced that anything going into my exit is going to cause my colon to rupture, leading to my untimely and awkward-to-read-about-in-a-newspaper death. Does that mean I’ve left all butt play behind? No. One should always keep a butt plug available to them, just in case.
They make you feisty…
Man or woman, sort-of-this or transitioning into that, knowing that you have a dirty little secret in your underwear drawer makes you a little spicy. You don’t even have to have things that shake, squirt, or heat up because just having a blindfold tucked away is sure to give you a feeling of bada**-ery.
Don’t knock it ’til you try it…
Sex toys have a bad reputation for being used only by lonely people, by fetish-loving people, and by guys that can’t please their partners. There’s a reason why Will Smith was so awesome in I, Robot, and it was definitely that semi-bionic body. Give yourself the chance to be semi-bionic. Be your own brand of Will Smith.
They pair well with lingerie.
Who doesn’t love some skimpy lingerie? Actually, even those silky robes that touch the floor and cover everything up are still pretty scandalous — so you can, well, skip the skimp if that’s not your style. A sex toy, though, shan’t be skipped when wearing a**-less chaps or a cup-less bralette. Kink on, friends.
You decide…
No one should ever make you feel like you have to use your bonus materials in a sexual setting if you don’t want to whip them out, even if the rest of the going-ons are consensual. Your toys, your power.
