I’m Thankful for Sex Toys

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, sneaking around your parents’ house to have sex with your bae - sign me up for it all! I’ve even been hearing about a new, trendy sex position called “Second Serving,” and I am 100 percent adding it to my to-do list! Anyway, since it’s the season for giving thanks, I want to share with you some reasons why I am thankful as hell for sex toys and the immense pleasure they bring to my life.

They helped me figure out what I do — and don’t — like

I’ve always been a very curious girl when it comes to my body and exploring what I do and don’t like in the bedroom. Give me a little spanking? Yes, please! When my husband turns on my Lock-N-Play Remote Panty Teaser while we’re shopping at the mall? My clit craves the thrill! But there are also things I don’t like when it comes to sex (I’ll spare you the details), and my years of playing with and trying out various sex toys have really helped me figure out what I do and don’t like. And believe me —being able to have that realization is so liberating!

They helped me figure out my orgasm potential

Many people, especially women, struggle to have orgasms from regular sex, and even from oral sex or masturbating with their own hands. That’s perfectly normal. And that’s where a vibrator can come in handy, truly rocking your world. Before I used my first vibrator, a long, long time ago, I thought I had already had plenty of orgasms and knew what pleasure felt like. Well, I was wrong! The day I used my first vibrator was the day I discovered my true orgasm potential. And after that, I knew vibrators would be part of my regular sex routine for the rest of my life — solo and with my man. So folks, give some thanks to your vibrators for enlightening you on what intense pleasure truly feels like and enhancing your Big O potential.  

They allow my partner and I to spice up our sex lives

When you’ve been married or in a committed relationship for a long time, it’s so easy for your sex life to become routine or even a little boring. Not to worry, though, because incorporating sex toys into your sex routine is an incredible way to spice up your sex life. Just doing a little role-playing or whipping out some BDSM tricks using handcuffs or a flogger can turn up the heat. Oh hellz yes! 

Last, but certainly not least, I think it’s important to be thankful for the business owners who break the stigma and deliver pleasure products to all of us on a regular basis. Susan Colvin, the fearless leader at CalExotics, has been a pioneer in the sexual pleasure movement for more than 25 years. She has stepped up to the plate, making the industry more inclusive, innovative and open to new possibilities for all types of people. Thank you, Susan, for continuously working to highlight the importance of sex education, sexual health and wellness, and of course pleasure! You are someone to be celebrated — now and all year round! 

Happy Thanksgiving!
