Make Your Own Sex Toys:
50 Quick and Easy Do-It-Yourself Projects

Cunnilingus is one of the most pleasurable sexual activities, a great adventure of increased intimacy, and a learned art. Women want the works; they want to be indulged, pampered and there is NO end to just how much or for how long. Remember, this is about pleasing HER. If she gets the slightest hint you're giving the proverbial twenty tongue swirls across the clitoris cos it might buy you thirty minutes deep throat in return - she will switch off!

Inhibition
Many men will come across the odd (pun intended) female with thighs that react like an oyster shell under attack from Joan Collins' jeweller. To access the treasures within, you have to understand what keeps the thighs locked up. Some women suffer from age-old guilt & shame and believe vaginas are 'ugly'. Communication, re- education & reassurance will go a long way towards overcoming inhibition. Create a pleasant atmosphere; some alcohol may help - too much will just dampen responses. Don't rush her, and if music is the 'food of love' amp it up. Let her know how much you want to do this and how gorgeous she is. With an inhibited woman, it's often best to direct compliments towards her body as a whole. Compliment the vagina directly, and the focus may heighten inhibition. "You taste delectable" 'may' be in. "Your f*c*n' juices drive me wild," I'd suggest is most definitely out in this instance! If, on the other hand you have an uninhibited minx on your hands that's not telling you graphically what she thinks, she may like hearing it from you. Gauging inhibition should be easy. If her legs fall open naturally and she doesn't shy away from you looking, she is likely comfortable with you and herself.

Ready?
Get comfortable before you start; you could be in this position for a long time. A few simple suggestions for positions, but always experiment:

Her lying back with her legs over your shoulders or around your waist. Propping up on pillows increases the view for both and elevates the pelvis.

Not sure what you are doing? If she sits over your face, she can help by moving freely towards what she likes.

Lie back over a stool or table narrow enough for her to stand over you with her legs either side this gets the legs right out of the way!

Sit on your knees in front of her. Doing this against a wall can be less intimidating for either if need be.
Down you go...
Remember, women are indulgent - they want every inch of their bodies devoured, licked, sucked, nibbled and teased as you go down, (or up!).

Move from kissing her neck, to her breasts. If she appears tense with oral play, lead down with your hands, and follow with your mouth. Work down her stomach; move out and down her sides, back in and over her lower stomach. Catching the top of the pelvic bone and gently following the line down to her inner thighs can be good too. Build arousal with casual, nuzzling over the mons & the outer labia and pulling away again. Run your tongue up and down the inside of her thighs, tease gently and build to longer, more deliberate tonguing toward the vagina. Only when there is danger of your ears being ripped off, is it time to slide your tongue all the way in.

Tongue joy
The clitoris is the most responsive part of the vagina, let her know you are aware of it's location with a little initial attention, but build arousal more by exploring the rest of the vagina, without forgetting that most women love concentration on the clitoris. Too many men rely on the tongue alone, you have a WHOLE face and that helps if your tongue gets 'tired'.

Place the top of your mouth over the mons and massage by rocking your body back and forward. Once you have mastered the top of your jaw working on the mons, try tensing your tongue and thrusting it in and out of at the same time.

Biting like an animal will get you nowhere but slapped. Gentle chewing and sucking, once aroused, increases blood flow to tissues and can increase sensation. Try encasing the whole vagina with your mouth, sucking all up slowly, holding, and then lapping your tongue, within, vertically over the clitoris. With practice, keeping up encased sucking draws down the insides making it easier to get G Spot access. Vibrators are poor competitors to tongues anyway, but if you want to trounce the toys; hold your face over the whole vulva, flatten your tongue over the clitoris and shake your head from side to side. Use your tongue with pressure that's soft and slow, or tense the tip of the tongue to create varying sensations. For some women, dependant on how responsive they are, gently circling the tissue surrounding the vaginal entrance with your tongue can induce orgasm, but for others it will do nothing but have them sighing, "Back to the clitoris, please". You are unlikely to disappoint by using the flattened end of your tongue in circular motions, on and around the clitoris.

Women can stay in the early throes of orgasm for a long time with oral. Trust me; they are not 'refusing' to orgasm, they are just in no rush to end the event once they have you thigh-clamped into place. It's a psychological endurance test women like - how many orgasmic waves can they manage before they must succumb. If you sense orgasm is close, and those thighs, or the hold on your ears loosens even slightly, she is telling you, (perhaps unknown to herself) to move away from the clitoris briefly. (Not as far as the fridge for a beer!). A little prolonging is what's required - women like that desperate begging stage

This can last for hours technically, but when it IS time for orgasm, stick with what you are doing, increase the intensity and speed in unison with her responses. The overall thing to remember is make every move considered, fluent and never random. Women don't have instant come-down after orgasm. Continue light licking on the clitoris or around it if your partner is very sensitive. (Some women are too sensitive after orgasm to enjoy direct clitoral stimulation.) Clean up by all means, but no gross slurping at 300 DB's. Gently work back up her body kissing and caressing as you go, then tell her how good it was for YOU.

More fun!
Experiment and find out what she all likes during oral. Try massaging the inner thighs, stroking her stomach, sides, breasts, G spot, or anal stimulation -if she is willing. For most women, additional stimulation works best intermittently rather than constantly as response from G spot stimulation, (for example) detracts from, rather than enhances clitoral stimulation.

Some women can only orgasm during oral sex by feeling penetration too - introduce a dildo. If your partner likes, but does not reach ecstasy with oral sex, adding a vibrator may help.

IF you have a willing partner who trusts you: Try blindfolding her, undressing her & some bondage. If she cannot see what is coming or react oral can work very well.

Another 'treat': bathe her first and give long massage before you start oral.

Forget the cream, the chocolate fudge, etc for once; it gets boring, naff and predictable.

Try cough drops or strong menthol mints. Suck till the sweet is partially dissolved and smooth, and then hold the sweet in your tongue, it can be tantalizing and different. The "oldie" ice cubes, is better combined with hot & cold sensation, alternate between ice and a hot drink.

Commencing oral through underwear and removing it later will give many women a playful revert back to adolescence and can be hugely erotic. Alternately, try edible underwear...

Shaving is optional, but it does heightened sensation.

Rule of thumb, women like build up to enjoy oral sex. Don't take this for granted though, some women love off the cuff rampant oral.

And simple fresh air is one of the ultimate additions to oral sex

Girl's Footnote
Men aren't born with inbuilt handbooks on giving good oral. Nor can they be blamed for slobbering like over zealous Labradors if you don't show them what you want. Take hold of his head, guide his mouth and instruct him on exactly what you would like. The best oral sex is more like sex with his face. So, if you are quick to grind your hips against him during sex - do the same with oral. Indicate clearly, and encourage him when he is doing something well. Good men want to get it right and adore giving oral - educate these men and you won't look back. However, for those lazy bastards that think oral is a quick launch pad to sex and just don't want to improve - adopt 'oyster' position fast - they aint worth opening up for!

Experiment, experiment, experiment & enjoy!

There are many different contraceptive methods available, and different methods suit different people at different times in ther lives.

This section will help you and your partner to decide on the method of contraception is most suited to you both.
It shows most of the available methods, explains how each method works, how effective each method of contraception is and the main advantages
and disadvantages of each contraceptive method.

You can ask your GP, practise nurse or family planning clinic for more information on any method you are interested in.

Using Contraception?

How effective any contraceptive is depends on how carefully and consistently you use the method.
If 100 sexually active women dont use any form of contraception 80 to 90 of them will become pregnant in the year.
The methods shown in this section are divided into two types:

# NO user failure: do not depend on you remembering to take or use contraception.

These are long acting methods and include:
Contraceptive injection :: Implant :: Intrauterine system :: Intrauterine device :: Male and female sterilisation

# User failure: Methods you have to use and think about regularly or every time you have sex. For these methods to be effective you must use them according to the instructions given.

These methods include:
Contraceptive patch :: Combined pill :: Progestogen-only pill :: Male condom :: Female condom :: Diaphragm :: Natural Family Planning

Some facts about avoiding pregnancy

There are a lot of myths about how to avoid pregnancy. These are the facts.

Pasante Healthcare NON LATEX DAMS
safe, hygenic oral sex for use by men or women

A women can still get pregnant:

# If it is the first time she has had sex.
# If she does not have an orgasm.
# If a man pulls out her vagina before he comes.
# If she has sex when she has a period.
# If she is not fully breastfeeding.
# If she douches (squirts fluids from the vagina). This can be harmful to women.
# Whatever posistion the couple has sex in.

Emergency contraception

If you have had sex without using contraception or think your method of contraception might have failed there are two emergency methods you can use.

# Emergency hormonal pills
Must be taken up to three days (72 hours) after sex. They are more effective, the earlier after sex they are taken.

# An IUD
Must be fitted up to five days after sex, or up to five days after the earliest you could of released an egg (ovulation).

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Most methods of contraception do not protect you from sexually transmitted infections.
Male and female condoms, when used correctly and consistently, can help protect against sexually transmitted infections. Diaphragms and caps may also protect against some sexually transmitted infections. If you can, avoid using condoms containing Nonoxynol 9 (spermicidally lubricated), as this does not protect against HIV and may even increase the risk of infection.

The New Good Vibrations Guide to Sex:
How to Have Fun, Safe Sex

I discovered later in life that I needed to make better choices about taking care of my sexual health'.
It was not long ago when I realized that many people are sexually active far into their eighties. I understood that when I was talking with a 79-year-old relative I'm very close to. I was telling her about my activism around HIV/AIDS and sexual health. Suddenly her animated, engaged expression froze into a look of horror. "Oh, my God, can I get it?" she asked. Then she revealed that she had been having unprotected sex with her partner, and that she knew he had relations with other women too. What's more she herself admitted she had another male friend with whom she was occasionally intimate.

Having looked at my personal experience I knew that unprotected sex regardless of age-could lead to a sexually transmitted disease (STD). At the age of 50, I realized that my lover of three years had given me one. I was astonished that this had happened to me! I started consulting women my age and older, I heard many stories of mature women who had been infected by husbands or partners who had sexual contacts on the side. This woke me up.

I came to conclusion then that the only person in the world whose sexual behavior I could be certain about was me. When I was younger, only unwanted pregnancy was the big fear. Later, menopause freed me from that concern. But suddenly I was discovering I needed to be more careful about my sexual life, so I could make better choices about protecting myself.

The HIV statistics in Black communities all over the world is sobering. The transmission of STDs, HIV and hepatitis B can be reduced by the use of condoms. But in spite of extensive public-health campaigns to promote safer-sex practices, many people over 50 still do not see the need to use condoms.

This attitude has contributed to a startling statistic: According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 1991 and 1996 HIV infections transmitted through heterosexual sex rose by 94%n men over 50, and 96% in women over 50. Although the number of patients with AIDS among seniors is relatively small-1,400 in 1996, up from 700 in 1991-experts are convinced these figures probably underestimate the problem because older people are less willing to be examined for HIV than younger adults. The symptoms of the illness can even be masked by other diseases or attributed to aging. As a consequence, one of the fastest-growing HIV demographic groups is heterosexuals age over 50.

What if you have never used condoms before? Whatever happened to growing wiser as you grow older? It's a wonderful achievement that nowadays people with HIV have access to the best drugs, can feel better and live longer than before. But the real triumph will come when all people have the information and the personal self-respect to embrace the tools of prevention-the consistent, correct use of condoms by sexually active people, no matter how old we are.

Sexy Naughty Knot As seen on TV ladies give yourself as a pressent

When you have an ample collection of sex toys you can undoubtedly have a lot of fun but there is a time and a place for that fun. If you have your own collection you know how costly your sex toys can be so you will want to take care of them and store them in a safe place when you are not playing with them or if you have company! The best idea is to create your own little toy box that can be neatly stored away when it needs to be but can also be pulled out in a moment's notice.

You can use just about any type of box or carton to store your sex toys in, but if it is plastic you will want to be sure that all of the toys are clean and dry when you put them in the box. As you probably know, plastic will retain the moisture and some of the synthetic materials, such as the fake skin type toys, will literally rot and be destroyed. These are some of the most expensive sex toys so you'll want to make doubly sure that they are clean and dry when they go in the box. You may want to make sure that your sex toy box has a locking or latching mechanism on it so that it does not tumble out of a drawer or off a shelf at an inopportune time (such as when you are trying on a new dress for your mother!) and cause you embarrassment.

Many people keep their sex toys under their bed and this is fine assuming that you do not have children! Many children like to get under their parents bed to play or snoop around and your menagerie of sex toys may be difficult to explain. A closet shelf or other such area would probably be the best place to store your toy box. A nightstand door would also be a suitable place to store your sex toy box because it's private, out of sight, and within reach so you can pull it out at a moment's notice.

All of your sex toys should be clean and dry as stated above before they go into the box. If you fail to clean them the bacteria can breed while inside of the box and cause more problems than you might expect. Most of your sex toys can be cleaned with warm water and dish soap. If you have something that cannot be immersed in water you can spray it with bleach water and then wipe it dry. You may want to let your toys air dry for a couple hours before putting them in the toy box, if possible. If you do this every time you play your sex toys will last as long as you want them to

reveals people's favorite toys in the bedroom. The research also found many Valentines may receive a sex toy wrapped in red this Valentine's Day.

The Complete Idiot's Guide To Amazing Sex
(2nd Edition)

The survey revealed 74% of both women and men would "love" to receive a sex toy as a gift. The other 26% thought it sounded fun, and no one in the survey found the idea objectionable.

The survey established that, of those participating in the survey, 24% already owned 1 or 2 toys, 56% owned 3-6, 11% owned "Gobs" of toys and 9% don't currently own a sex toy.

Regarding the question "What is your favorite sex toy?" respondents had a fill-in-the-blank response, not a multiple-choice answer. They wrote in the following choices:
17% Rabbit Vibrator
11% Glass Dildo
10% Vibrator (Non-Specified Type)
8% Love all sex toys
7% Sex Swing
7% Strap On Dildo
6% Bullet Vibrator
5% Dildo
4% Cock Ring & Vibrating Cock Ring
4% Anal plug or bead
3% Cyberskin Sex Toy
20% other toys or none yet

"We were surprised by several of the results," said Ron Jacks, partner at PleasureMeNow.com. "One result that amazed us, even though our survey was taken on our adult toy website, was that everyone found receiving a sex toy as an appealing gift. Another result that raised several eyebrows here was how many straight men indicated their favorite sex toy was not for use on themselves but rather for use on the women in their life. Of the total men surveyed, 16% indicated their favorite toy was using a vibrator on their significant other with another 7% suggesting a glass dildo."

618 people participated in the survey. 10% of the women and 7% of men described themselves as bisexual, and 4% of people indicated they were gay.

It?s a sad fact that, in these modern times, somewhere between 10% and 20% of adult women have never experienced an orgasm, and as many as 50% of women don?t orgasm during sex. Sexual and sensual education have advanced to where we now understand much more about the female orgasm, such as the fact that women have two completely different places they can stimulate in order to bring themselves to full satisfaction. Since the vibrator was specifically created to allow women to experience orgasms, it remains the best tool for women to discover what they enjoy, and what stimulates them in the best way to achieve the ultimate O.

Female Orgasm Made Simple

The first step, of course, is acquiring a vibrator. Most ?adult stores? are pretty cheesy and uncomfortable for women to shop in, which is why the internet is such a popular medium for adult toy shopping. Look at the pictures, read about the materials, and choose something you find attractive and that looks fun. This is the first step on a wonderful journey, so enjoy it!


To have the best experience with your vibrator, give yourself some time with it. Before you even switch it on, get relaxed and turned on. Take a long bubble bath, read an erotic story, get yourself in the mood. For most women, orgasms are as much psychological as they are physiological. If your mind isn't in the right place, your body won't be either.


Get comfortable on your bed, on a rug in front of your fireplace, or just stay in the tub if you?ve purchased a waterproof vibe. Relax, start slow, and get to know your vibrator and your body. Touch different parts of your genitals with your vibrator. Discover what feels good, then keep doing it. Let your arousal build and let nature take its course.



There really isn't any "right" way to use a vibrator or to bring yourself to orgasm. The most important thing to remember is that a vibrator is a tool to help you stimulate yourself; while it can help you reach a climax, it's not an instant orgasm machine. You control it and use it in the way that feels best to you.


Experiment with your vibrator, try its different features, and apply it to different areas of your body to see what the sensations are like. Most women respond to clitoral stimulation, but you may prefer more or less intensity, or more or less direct stimulation. The labia and vulva are also sensitive.


If your vibrator is insertable, give that a try. Some women find penetration and vibration inside the vagina very pleasurable. A vibrator is the best tool you can use to find and stimulate your G-spot. This little node of pleasure is on the front wall of your vagina, a couple of inches in. It can take a few tries to find this spot, and not everyone who finds it actually likes it because of how sensitive it can be. Some women can't find it at all. All of these things are normal, so you just have to see what works for you.

The Bedside Orgasm Book:
365 Days of Sexual Ecstasy

Many women need clitoral rather than vaginal stimulation to actually bring them to orgasm, so if vaginal penetration with your vibrator isn't getting you anywhere, go back to using the vibrator on your clitoris. One technique you can use with a smooth insertable vibrator is to place the tip against your clitoris, then slide the shaft down between your labia, insert the vibrator and slide it into your vagina, and then bring it back up in a reverse stroke, sliding along the clitoris again on the way up.


Once you discover what feels good, keep doing it, relax, and let your arousal build. If you find that the vibrator brings you to the point of climaxing too quickly, back off and try a less intense form of stimulation, or even use your hand for a while and go back to the vibrator. You?ll find that, like many things, the more you practice achieving orgasm, the easier it?ll become.


Learning how to orgasm during sex is whole different thing. One of the best things you can do is simply to masturbate often and keep all of your sexual organs in good shape. Masturbation helps your body to establish a habit of orgasming - if you can bring yourself to orgasm every time you get turned on, your body learns how to get there more easily when you're having sex with someone else.


Easy, practical things you can do to help your body are drinking lots of water and avoiding alcohol to keep everything downstairs healthy and lubricated. Do your Kegels ? these exercises tone and tighten the muscles you use during sex, heightening the sensations you experience during sex. A set of Smartballs (an updated, silicone-coated version of Ben Wa balls) are a really easy, comfortable way to keep your PC muscles in shape.


If you are like most women, and you orgasm from clitoral stimulation, there are a hundred toys out there that are designed to stimulate your clitoris during sex. Probably the easiest to use are vibrating penis-rings, which your partner wears around his penis and has an attachment where you can insert a vibrating bullet. Another fun toy you can use during sex is a strap-on clitoral stimulator such a butterfly-style vibrator. Elastic straps around the waist and/or thighs hold a small vibrator in place while you make love. One of the more unique toys of this nature is the Vibrating Lover?s Thong, which not only vibrates on your clitoris, but has a double row of beads that stimulate your lover as he moves in and out.


Technology and research have opened up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to female orgasms. Take advantage of what?s available, and you may find yourself fulfilled in ways you never imagined possible.

The Great Sex Secret

The majority of women who have experienced both kinds of orgasms claim that it is easier to have multiple G-spot orgasms than it is to have multiple clitoral orgasms. If an orgasm turns its lovely head towards you while the two of you two are playing with each other try the following. Try whispering some words of encouragement (and perhaps turn up the heat just a little bit), but basically continue pleasuring her through her orgasm.

Then continue and you will possible go right into a next one. If it still keeps feeling good for both of you, what's the point of stopping now? There is often a chain reaction with multiple G-spot orgasms coming one after another. Every one makes the next one feel even better, and makes most anything else sexual feel much better too.

However, as stated earlier everybody different, and the quality is far more important than the quantity.

It is true however that for some women playing with the G-Spot may become more likely to result in orgasm over a little period of time. Usually a few weeks or months after first starting to experiment with it. It is also very true that the intensity of orgasms may be directly related to pubococcygeal muscle tone This is another incentive for doing regular PC muscle exercises.

If you are a woman and you would like to try stimulating your G-Spot while masturbating try this. Use a good combination of toys. Most women would use a vibrator which can be used on your clit as you're getting warmed up as well as penetration.

In general it is not a very good idea to have a huge ego or emotional stake in having or giving your partner orgasms or multiple orgasms. Many sex educators believe it is not good to get "goal oriented" about something that's supposed to be for pleasure.

What can a guy do when his woman just doesn?t want as much sex as the guy does?

1. Talk about her emotional involvement in the relationship. Is she in love with your or not? Happy? Satisfied?

2. Let her know how important sex and emotional involvement both are to you

3. Emphasize how emotionally close to her when sex makes feel good

4. Emphasize making the relationship better and more committed, especially in the long-term

5. Tell her honestly how it hurts your male ego and sense of yourself as a man when she says, ?NO?

6. Discuss whether it is the relationship or her own basic level of sexual interest that keeps your lovemaking so infrequent

7. Discuss your level of commitment and her level of sexual interest

8. Propose a trade of more frequent sex per week and you giving her something she wants in exchange

9. Talk about whether she comes easily or at all, and what turns her on

10. Ask how you can make her (the woman) happier in and out of bed

11. Ask for a guided tour of her clitoris and how she likes to be stimulated

12. Discuss whether she needs more foreplay, and what kind

13. Don?t compete with her vibrator? Be a good friend with you

14. Buy a vibrator for her. Encourage her to use it, especially while you make love

15. Give her the book, "Sex Secrets of an American Geisha: How to Attract, Satisfy, and Keep
Your Man," so she understands how important sex is to a man, and how powerful she is in the relationship when she has enthusiastic sex with her Good Man.

Py Kim Conant is the author of ?Sex Secrets of an American Geisha: How to Attract, Satisfy, and Keep Your Man.?

Intended usage

Do you intend to use your sex toy by yourself or with your partner? Choosing a sex toy and using it together with your partner will foster better intimacy, understanding and openness. Some sex toys are used only for solo play, while some such as love swings can only be used with a partner.Intended usage

Stimulation preference

Phallic sex toys can be designed for penetration or clitoral stimulation. Some can do both. Women are aroused differently and knowing which erogenous zones stimulate you more can help in choosing the right sex toys. For penetrative stimulation, the shaft type vibrators or dildos are a good choice. For clitoral stimulation, we recommend the most popular rabbit vibrator range. The rabbit range serves a dual purpose, penetration and clitoral stimulation. The base of the shaft has a bunny ear shaped soft like material designed to gently massage the clitoris while the shaft is inserted in the vagina. Rabbit vibrators are the most popular sex toys the world over and we highly recommend that you shop around for one.

Sound

Some sex toys like vibrators can be a bit noisy. You don't want to rouse your neighbors and housemates, do you? For this, you can consider variable speed vibrators or vibrators that emit a low level of noise.

Material or texture

Sex toys generally come in porous or non-porous material. Porous materials such as cyberskin are extremely lifelike. They feel very realistic and are often molded after the real thing. Non-porous materials such as plastic, soft PVC, silicone and glass are smooth and come in varying textures. Either way, they should be used with lots of lubrication. Porous materials will require a bit more cleaning as bacteria can grow between the pores. Water and soap will be enough for non-porous materials.

Style

Everybody has a personal preference when it comes to color, shape, size, studded or smooth and elongated. It's a matter of preference. Choose from a variety of characteristics including those that glow in the dark.

Wet and dry use

Are you planning to use your toy in the bath? Many people have discovered how much fun they can have in the bath. Waterproof toys such as the rubber duck or waterproof dildos make good companions.

Portability

Do you want to take your vibrator on the road with you or are you planning on keeping it at home? There are small battery powered vibrators such as the Pocket Rocket which can fit into the palm of your hand.


Cleaning and caring for your Sex Toys

Since sex toys are used on the most sensitive parts of your body, it makes sense to keep it well cleaned and cared for. With a few simple steps, you can prolong the life of your toy.

Lubricants

Water- and silicone-based lubricants are safe to use with sex toys. Avoid using oil- or petroleum-based lubricants as they break down latex material. Vaseline or olive oil are for external use only and are great for massaging. Never use oil-based lubricants for any penetration as they can cause infections if not properly cleaned.

Cleaning

Non-porous materials are smooth and warm water and soap usually does the trick. If needed, silicone sex toys can be sterilized by boiling it for 3 to 5 minutes. Porous materials such as cyberskin and rubber require a bit more care as bacteria can hide within the pores. Avoid using soap on cyberskin to maintain the texture. Instead, rinse with lots of warm water or sterilize with alcohol. It is best air-dried and sprinkled with cornstarch or talcum to maintain the smooth surface. To keep all your toys clean and ready to use, you can also pickup a care & cleaning kit.

Condoms

Condoms can be placed over sex toys so it can be safely shared with multiple partners. They also make cleaning that much easier. Rubber dildos are porous materials which must be sterilized if shared with multiple partners. Otherwise, use a condom over rubber dildos.

Storing

Try to store sex toys within reach of the bed. Nothing is more frustrating than interrupting foreplay and having to walk across the room to dig out the toy from a secret hidden spot. With that being said, sex toys should be stored in protective casing or wrapped in a piece of cloth, away from prying eyes. There are several novelty items available such as the Hide Your Vibe pillow to discreetly store your sex toys.
