Condoms – Weddings seem to be one of those places where random hookups happen. Be sure to play it safe, and that means using barrier protection. Some condoms come in smaller metal cases that are great places to store the ‘leftovers’ in the event there’s nowhere else to put it, but for those time when you’ve got a garbage can nearby, standard condoms like the Adam & Eve Ribbed Condoms are perfectly priced for those who don’t want an expensive condom with all the bells and whistles for a possible one-night-stand.

Fingertip Vibrator – If a self-loving quickie is all you’re up for this wedding season, stick with smaller vibes that can travel well. Those with fingertip straps like the Fingo Nubby are easier to control when reaching downward, and don’t have the awkward issue of where to direct the other end of a longer vibe – especially when you’re sitting down. Be sure to try out your fingertip vibe before you head to the ceremony, though, as some make a louder buzzing sound than your standard sized vibrator.

Underwear Style Harness – There are certain situations where the best sex is used with a strapon. For lesbian lovers looking for a quickie, or the pegging loving hetero couple who can’t wait to get home, digression is key. There are a few strapon harnesses on the market that fit like underwear, like the Vibrating Strapon for Him set. That way there’s no sign of straps or buckles under your dress to give away what pleasures you are packing underneath. We suggest a larger handbag if you’re going to bring a full sized dildo along to put into this great strapon set, though!

Crotchless Panties – For the ladies on the receiving end that don’t want to fuss with sex toys, crotchless panties are one of the best ways to enjoy your quickie without having to worry about where to put your underwear. Easy access means that you can get your naughty rendezvous over faster (if that’s what you’re looking for), or at least give you some extra time to enjoy the moment rather than having to get re-dressed. We love the look of the Crotchless Wide Lace Thong under a form fitting evening dress.

The first step in cleaning out your sex toy is to be sure that any electronic parts have been either removed or shut off. This includes smaller bullet vibrators that sometimes fit in the pockets of the toy, as well as any attached heating systems. Once these are safely stored away, then you can get to the soap and water!

Most male masturbators are open at either end. In order to get the most residues removed from your toy, place one end up against the tap on your sink, and slowly turn the water on. The pressure and flow of the water will help flush out any leftover ‘deposits’ as well as lubricant that may have become trapped in the toy. If your toy isn’t open at both ends, you can still run your masturbator under a flowing stream of water, but we don’t suggest pressing directly against the tap! Keep the water flowing until it runs clean out of the toy.

Another option is to give your toy a bath in warm soapy water. Fill your sink or a large bowl with water and add a few drops of soap. Gently swish it around in the water, letting it get at all the inner areas of your toy. If you choose not to use a cleaner specifically made for sex toys, be sure to read the instructions that came along with your toy. Some cleaners can actually break down the materials in your sex toy, making it unusable. Be sure to rinse off  the toy when it’s bath is done to completely remove any dirt.

If you can turn your toy inside out, we suggest you do so to be sure there are no unwanted remnants inside your masturbator. This is also a great way to get your toy dry. While most toys shouldn’t be stored inside out for longer periods of time, giving it a good shake while it’s inside out will help remove larger drops of water. Some toys also benefit from a quick dusting of corn starch once they are completely dried. This will help the toy keep its smooth, skin like texture over a longer period of time.

Some male masturbators have kits specifically made to clean them that will help keep them in tip top condition. The Fanta Flesh Care Kit is made for the PipeDreams line of realistic masturbators. Fleshlight suggests that you use cornstarch when your toy is dry.

Super Tiny Vibrator – A vibrator at the beach? Yes – it can be done, but we don’t suggest breaking out your multi speed rabbit for this trip! Go with a very tiny bullet shaped vibrator. If you pick up one like the Power Bullet Mini Vibrator you can also take advantage of the fact that it’s waterproof. So find yourself a somewhat secluded section of the beach, slip your hand under the water – and under that bikini, and really get to enjoying your day!

Trashy Novel – Now is your excuse to pick up those books that everyone is reading this year – the steamier, the better! Adam and Eve carry copies of the bestselling smut novels of the last several months, so if you haven’t had the time to read Fifty Shades of Grey, there is no stopping you now! No one will judge you on your literary tastes when laying on a beach blanket under the hot sun, so give in to those desires to pick up a book with a half-naked guy on the cover.

A Teeny Tiny Dress You’d Never Wear Out – Have you ever spotted a clubbing dress that you’d love to wear but you’d never have the guts to put on? Make that dress your beach cover-all! Hot little numbers like the Orangesicle Tube Dress look amazing with absolutely nothing on underneath, but also work well on top of a bikini or bathing suit. So you can start to channel your inner slut without having too much of your body exposed!

Ben Wa Balls – Now these little beauties aren’t the usual toy for newbies who are bringing their sex objects to the beach. We suggest using the uncorded style like the Black Glass Ben Wa Balls so that there’s no worry of strings hanging out the bottoms of your swim suit. If you’ve used ben wa balls before, you already know how long your body can tolerate having them in before you’ve had enough. Be sure to formulate a place for removal before popping them in for some beach time fun.

Adam & Eve 2-Piece Pearl Body Necklace – I mean, look at this thing! There’s like nothing to it! On the top you get what looks like the start of a bikini that someone forgot to finish. The open cup top is bordered by a string of pearls that just outlines her boobs. (The model wearing them has amazing boobs, by the way.) Then you get the same thing at the bottom – something that I can only really describe as a pearl thong that just barely covers the girl’s bits. So how much for those “where is the rest of it” lingerie set? Just under $30 (super sexy white thigh highs not included).

Erotica Teddy – Did someone forget to add a few fabric panels to this set? It’s like someone decided that the only thing that should be covered on a woman’s body is her belly button and that valley between her boobs. Forget covering the actual breasts. Or the boobs. Or the butt. Forget imagination – let’s put it all on display! (Although, I must say, the model for this half-there teddy does have the kind of ass that can pull off this outfit.) While I’m sure this is a great set for ladies who are a bit on the larger side, there’s still a whole lot less fabric in this set than in your usually teddy. This collection of string and fabric goes for just under $40.

Chastity Heart Panty & Pasties – Can someone please explain the point of pasties to me? I might as well head to my kitchen drawer and pull out some electrical tape. These two little cutsey heart shaped pasties also come with a bottom piece that some may call underwear, but looks more like a belt maker had a bit too much to drink one might and got creative with his leather leftovers. I swear that smaller strap that goes across her vagina barely covers her slit. I just don’t see the point! You can pick up this pair of pasties and “panties” for under $20.

A Female Condom – If you need to have safe sex in a hot tub, unfortunately traditional male style condoms aren’t your best option. Latex condoms can break down in the presence of chlorine, and even if they do remain intact, the trusting motion has a chance to put water between your man’s member and his condom, making it a risk for slippage. Your other barrier protection option – the female condom – should be inserted before jumping in the tub for your naughty rendezvous.

Silicone Based Lubricant – Being in a hot tub, you might not think that you need lubrication, but just the opposite is true. The water can strip away any natural lube you have, making the insertion process somewhat uncomfortable. For times like this, a thicker lube is a must, and silicone lubes hold up much better in water than a water based lube. Try something with cooling qualities like the Wicked Ultra Cooling Lubricant for a totally new temperature experience.Waterproof Vibrator – Not looking for full on sex in the hot tub? How about bringing in a toy to tease and please you? Waterproof vibrators come in all shapes and sizes, but we love the Waterproof Finger Fun Vibrator since if the neighbors do come over for a chat, you can slip it off your finger and hide it in the bottom of your bikini! (They’re also small enough to travel well, so if you’re in a public hot tub, they can hide in your swim bag with little worry of prying eyes.)

Vibrating Panties – Now you may be thinking – wearing panties into the hot tub? Isn’t that kind of strange? Not when the panties actually look like a pair of swim suit bottoms and have a waterproof vibrator built in! With the 10 Function Remote Control Vibrating Panty, your lover can have the remote out of the water, while you are wearing the naughty little knickers underneath. Great for those hands-free sexual experiences!

Discreet Vibrator – While there are times where your full powered corded Hitachi is what needs to be used, there are others when a more discreet approach is needed. Some vibrators, like the Studio Collection Lipstick Vibrator are made to look like mundane, everyday objects that no one would ever think were sex toys. Great for storing in the side pouch of your backpack for that quick access self-quickie!

Disposable Male Masturbators – No one really wants to clean up sex toys in the middle of the woods – especially if you’re at a family camping ground with nosey neighbors. You would think that male masturbators would be off the list for sex toys that are disposable, but the Tenga Eggs are made to be used, then thrown away. They even come with a single serving of lubrication, so there’s no need to bring your bottle from home. Once you are done, place it back in the Easter egg style case it came in, and throw it away. Even if someone sees you heading to the garbage with it, the innocent looking shell holds all your secrets inside!

Disposable Vibes – While we’ve covered the guys with disposable sex toys, how about ladies who want to play then throw away? If bringing your bullet vibes back and forth is out of the question, disposable vibrators like the Bree Olsen Finger Bangers are there for your pleasure. Each tiny little vibe has enough battery power in it to last around 20 minutes, so time your use wisely! With their unique shape and size, no one will have a clue that this teeny tiny toy is actually a vibrator!

Bondage Tape – From looking at the rolls of Sex and Mischief Bondage Tape, you would think they look right in place with your other camping gear. Little does anyone know that this self-adhering bondage tape isn’t more than just part of your tent patch kit or some electrical tape to make sure the camper’s pipes stay together. If your lover is looking for some kinky fuckery in the sleeping bag, this is one tool that’s not to be missed off.

White Lingerie – White is supposed to symbolize the innocent virgin bride, but these days it’s just a great color to wear when you’re in the summer sun. For those times when you’re alone with your new spouse in your honeymoon retreat, white colored lingerie like the Sweet Innocence Babydoll carries that “virginal” look into the bedroom. Pick lingerie that is light on the skin if you plan on wearing it under clothes or for a longer period of time. We guess, though, that anyone wearing something this sexy won’t be in it for very long!

Vibrating Cock Ring – Looking for a sex toy that will keep him as happy as it keeps her? Vibrating cock rings offer the best of both worlds – a penis ring that will keep him going longer, and a bullet vibrator that will delivery direct clitoral stimulation when he’s all the way inside you. If you want something really special, pick a vibrating penis ring with texture, like the Adam & Eve Couple’s Enhancer Ring for that extra level of pleasure!

Adult Movies – Tired of the sun and the clubs and staying in your honeymoon suite for the night? How about popping in a porn to get you both in the mood! There are tons of “honeymoon” themed adult movies out there like The Wedding Day DVD that are erotic enough to turn on those who prefer a romantic story line, but has enough action to keep those who want some full on action in their adult movies. Or – maybe this is the time to start making your own movies!

Glass Dildo – Summer weddings and the honeymoon following can get really hot – and we don’t mean just in the bedroom! Soaring temperatures leave people begging for relief. Glass sex toys like the Red Hearts Glass Dildo can be cooled down in a bowl of ice water for a totally new experience that will certainly cool down even the most hot parts of your body.

 You may not know it by looking out the window, but summer is almost here. For a lot of us that means outdoor grilling, picnics at the beach, trips to the ice cream stand and great seafood from our shores. But did you know that there are certain foods that are summer specific that will give your love life a boost? There are quite a few foods that are summer time aphrodisiacs that you may want to include in your next romantic meal together!

Grilled Asparagus – Looking for something to serve alongside your burgers and steaks from the BBQ? Grill up some asparagus for a great summertime aphrodisiac! Asapragus is chock full of folic acid, which boosts histamine production in the body. This in turn helps those who are in the throws of passion achieve more substantial orgasms. This little green stick of love has been used as far back as the 1700s for its aphrodisiac nature. In the 1900s, French men who were about to be married dined on nothing but asparagus for the 24 hours leading up to their wedding day.

Avocado Salad – Chunk it up and put it on your favorite taco, burger, or as a great side salad, and avocados will go a long way in making your night more amorous! Did you know that the name for the avocado tree in Aztec translates to “testicle tree”? The reason that avocados may be great for the sexual systems seems to be in its resemblance to male organs rather than any chemical makeup, but who doesn’t love a side of guacamole with their plate of nachos anyway?

Banana Splits – Going out to the local ice cream shop to pick up a scoop or two on a hot summer night? If you’re looking for some late night action, you might be best off grabbing yourself a banana split rather than just a cone! Bananas have chelating minerals and certain enzymes that help boost a guy’s libido. Bananas are also symbolic when it comes to love – Hindus see it as a sign of fertility, and in other cultures, a banana left on the doorstep announces that a marriage is about to take place.

S’mores – Oh, those ooey gooey marshmallows toasted over an open fire. While the romance of the campfire may be one step to setting the mood, the addition of chocolate in your s’mores will help you in the love department as well. We all know that there are oodles of chemicals in chocolate that will set the mood, so might as well double up on your chocolate bar for this summertime treat!

Oysters – With the summer comes some of the best and freshest seafood that money can buy. If you are lucky enough to live next to a fishing port, why not head to your local oyster bar and get some of the best summertime aphrodisiacs around? The zinc in oysters raises sperm count, the fatty acids help your overall feeling of well-being, and the dopamine will get that mood boosted.

Sure, you can probably go out and get a regular dildo and hope that either you or your partner has the mental capacity to use it whil

e in the midst of mind-blowing sex. I’m not that coordinated, and neither is my husband. So we knew right away we wanted either a double penetration harness set up like the Menage a Trois DP Strap-On, or a cock ring style toy like the Double Penetrator Ultimate Cockring. That way it’s a more instinctive thrusting and pushing rather than trying to get someone’s hand to get the right rhythm going.

Our sex toy of choice ended up being the Double Diver Cock Ring as it has a few qualities that we were looking for. First, it’s made of jelly, so I was able to use the silicone based anal lube that we have already have. The cock ring also has an attached bullet vibrator, so not only was I going to get it up the ass and vagina, I’d get my clit stimulated as well. The dildo in itself isn’t oversized, and actually comes in at a relatively realistic four and a half inches. Finally, it’s a style of double penetration dildo that can be flipped over, so my husband gets his choice of holes!

I’ve gone through anal training, so we already had a lot of toys around to warm me up before the full-fledged action began. The cock ring fit my hubby well, although he did need to hold onto the base at times when we were really going at it. The vibe ticked my clit when it was at the top, and teased my perineum when it was flipped over. I can’t say that I have a complaint at all with my experience with the Double Diver Cock Ring, and I was able to get that “threesome double penetration” feeling that I wanted without having a stranger in my bedroom!

Your medication is putting a damper on your sex life. Some of the most common medication that a woman would take – birth control pills, hormone replacement therapies, and even antidepressants can flip your switch into the ‘off’ position. If you think this is the case, bring it up with your doctor. Often there are alternative medications that you can take to drop this unwanted side effect. Other times there are secondary meds you can take to help reduce the symptoms.

It’s hay fever season. Allergies are a one-two punch when it comes to killing off your sex drive. With untreated allergies, the watery eyes, stuffy nose, and sinus pain can really get you out of the mood fast. For those who are taking antihistamines to combat this seasonal pain the back side, you may notice the well-known drowsy side effects, as well as the not-so-well-known side effect of vaginal dryness. Grab a non-drowsy packet of pills next time you hit the drug store, and include a bottle of lubricant while you’re at it!

That new fad diet isn’t just dropping off the weight. When you’re not eating right, whether it is due to bad habits or a bad diet, it can really put a stress on all your body systems, including your libido. If you are on a diet, be sure it’s a well-balanced once where you are getting what you need. If you’re on three weeks of drinking nothing but lemon water and multivitamins, the lack of a sex drive could be the least of your worries!

That fourth glass of wine was just too much. We all know that alcohol can have a downward effect on a man’s sexual activity, but it can actually have a similar effect on women as well. Just because your inhibitions are lowered and your brain may be up for a roll in the hay doesn’t mean the rest of you has that same idea. Excess drinking can make you tired and depressed – not a libido booster by any means!
