Sexual Independence Month!

Let’s claim July as Sexual Independence Month!  Becoming sexually independent can look like what you want it to look like, so this month I’ll share some ideas that individuals can use to become “sexually independent”! But first, let’s discuss setting the tone for being able to claim sexually independence!

Whether you are a confident and assertive sexual being, or someone who is more curious or timid, there comes a time where we all become aware of our needs and desires. Sometimes this awareness comes naturally… you know those people who are just always “on”! Always ready. Then there are others who are comfortable to just “be”. If it happens, it happens. And then there are those who are in what I call “hibernation”! Much like a sleeping bear, hibernation for our sexual side of our being can mean that that part of ourselves can be “asleep”! You know that feeling! We all get it sometimes… It can be days, weeks, maybe even months or years when you aren’t aware of your sexual side of yourself! Work. Family. Stress. Financials. These all play into whether we are able to awaken our sexual side of our being to be open to allowing us to feel desire.

Below I am providing the Trystology Talk Episode 8 on Hibernation, for those that may want to “wake up” their bodies, if they find that this subject speaks to them!

Whatever stage you are in, on – content – hibernating – I’d like to have you choose this month to assert yourself and acknowledge your sexual independence!

I know this might not be an easy thing. How we respond to our needs and desires can vary.  By default, some people will act on them, while others might naturally tuck those feelings aside and ignore or pretend they don’t exist. Other’s may not even be aware that they “aren’t in the game”. While these responses are natural and happen automatically, without thought, I am asking you to make a conscious choice to choose to “own it“… your sexual self!

Here’s the thing… no one checks in on us as to whether we’re doing well with our sexual selves.  They might ask about whether you exercised.  Meditated.  Ate well.  But when you meet your friends for coffee, they will most likely never ask if you’ve had your orgasm today!  Really!  Right?!?  We can focus on our nutritional health, spiritual health, emotional health, physical health, but no one asks about or focuses (usually) on their sexual health!  THIS MONTH, I want to change that!  I want you to consciously choose to wake up your sexual side.

So what does that mean?  And what are you choosing?  Sexual independence is not much different than waking yourself up from hibernation.  It’s choosing to self pleasure, or have intimacy with a partner, even when you’re not necessarily feeling like it!  We take our vitamins when we’re not eating well.  We exercise when we “don’t feel like it”.  But when it comes to sex, and intimacy, we tend to think we have to feel like it!  This isn’t really true!  You can wake yourself up, and you can enjoy intimacy and pleasure… even if you don’t think you can.

All of this is so very personal, so take from this what resonates with you!  If you just want a massage oil and a massage to gain your sexual independence this month, then choose that.  If you need to learn to wake up the body, and want a stimulating balm, or figure out what vibrator might work best for you or your partner, then let’s explore that!  And some people still may want to explore the orgasm-a-day philosophy… solo or with their partner.  Either way, make a choice to find out what it is that might be interesting to you, and then… it’s all about play!

Sexual Independence Tools! Here we’ll provide some ideas to explore. We have curated tools that will help with regaining your sexual self.  We will start with Stimulating Balms for the clitoris, as some are really tingly, almost electric, like the ON Balm.  Other’s are more gentle, like Intimate Organics Gentle, or stronger, like Intimate Organics Intense or Coco De Mer Pure Delight!  We will include Ride for men, which helps to extend their experience, or enhance it, and provide tools to play.

You’ll see that, much like my podcast on hibernation, we have included the full spectrum of tools in this section.  From massage tools, to couples toys, and vibrators for him and her.

If you have any questions, or want any recommendations, don’t hesitate to give us a call!  We even do private consultations, if you’re interested!  We can be reached at 888-801-8952.

An Orgasm-A-Day for Masturbation Month

Roylin shares her “Orgasm-a-day” philosophy with Cindy in this Episode 3 of Trystology Talk: Sex and the Empowered woman.

Why do we at Trystology promote this philosophy?  It’s important to look at the challenges most men and women have when they approach their sex lives.  There are not very many sources to get good information about sex… what’s “normal”, what’s right for me, is this something I should explore?  We kind of find our way through our sex lives with a trial and error approach!  At Trystology we know how good orgasms can be for you, so we are promoting that you have an orgasm-a-day… or one a week… or one a month, if you’re only having one a year!  Figure out what’s right for you!

Why is this important?  Orgasms give us something we can’t get any other way!  Oxytocin, endorphins and antibodies to keep us healthy!  They also relieve stress, help with headaches, and make us happy!  AND They’re FREE!

Sometimes it can be hard to fit into our lives… much like exercise and vitamins.  However, orgasms can be just as important as both of those things!  For men, more frequent orgasms can improve prostate health, as well as cardiac health!  For women, we can avoid atrophy, and as my grandmother, Marion Downs says, we might live longer!  She quotes in her book “Shut Up and LIve: You know how!”, the Harvard Study on aging states that the more orgasms one has, the longer one might live, and it doesn’t matter if it’s with your partner, or by yourself!  Well, then!  Why not!

Marion Downs and Roylin in 2014. She was 100!

So this brings up the subject of Masturbation.  I traditionally don’t use that word, preferring the “orgasm-a-day” or “self-pleasure” connotation… because it’s more subtle and I don’t want to scare anyone away…  but here’s the thing:

“Don’t knock masturbation, it’s sex with someone I love”   – Woody Allen

We may not be comfortable with the discussion of self pleasure, but it is something when we love ourselves, and “love on” ourselves, we get huge benefits… My goal is to have all people feel comfortable with their bodies, empowered knowing what works for them, and with the freedom to give themselves what they need!  If your partner is home, GREAT!  Have a shared experience!  If they’re not, it’s okay, have an orgasm by yourself!  The rest of the day will look AMAZING!

How??? You might ask!

My thing is that we should all understand what works for us!  As women, our bodies are designed to take 20-40 min to have an orgasm.  That can inhibit some playfulness, and delay the ability to “fit” an orgasm into our already busy lives… however, when a woman can find a tool or technique that works for them, they can turn themselves from what we call “crock-pots”, where we simmer to be able to achieve an orgasm, to a “microwave”… the term we use for men.  When a woman is a microwave, they’re able to have an orgasm in 1-3 min, and go on with their day!  Doesn’t that sound great!?!

With the  new tools that are on the market, it’s not difficult for women to find different products that might work for them!  We have everything from incredible stimulating balms, which help to “jump start” women, by stimulating the clitoris and bringing blood flow there, to toys of every shape and style.  Air suction technology tools that help with imitating oral sex, and low or high vibration tools that could be used solo, or with a partner!  Below are a few tools that I recommend for the “orgasm-a-day” philosophy for women, and a couple for men!

Womanizer InsideOut

Womanizer

The newest offering from Womanizer, which you KNOW is one of my favorite tools for woman to achieve an orgasm is the Womanizer InsideOut!  OMG!  It’s a must have!!!  Not only do you get the unique Air-Suction technology Womanizer has been known for, you also get the dual stimulation of internal g-spot vibration most women know and love!

Zumio

Since it was introduced, Zumio has been a fan favorite of Trystology!  It’s oscillating, pinpoint stimulation is PERFECT for “Power Girls” who crave that intense stimulation, without the numbing sensation of most wand style toys!  AND it can fit between the bodies for a true intimate experience!  With it’s “60 second orgasm” claim to fame, its certainly worth a look!!!

Jimmyjane Form 2, whether it’s the original or the LUX version, has been the number one selling clitoral toy for Trystology, since we began selling it 9 years ago!  It’s low rumble, or high vibration suit women of all vibrational needs, all the way to my power girls!  It’s small enough to be discreet, but strong enough to be just what’s needed!  We don’t leave home without it!  No trip is complete without the Jimmyjane Form 2

The Leaf Life is Trystology’s #2 selling couples toy!  When it’s paired with a massage oil candle, like the Jimmyjane Afterglow, or our favorite massage oil/lubricant, Uberlube, the Leaf life can give partners so many options for sensual play, or lovemaking!  The Leaf is adjustable for low rumbles, to high vibration… maybe not high enough for my power girls, but it’s an awesome toy to use on nipples, clitoris, or even a penis or perineum!  And it’s oh, so discreet!

The Leaf Vitality is one of the most discreet, and versatile,  rabbit style toys we carry!  I swear we should design a planter pot, so women could just set it on their bedside tables to “hide” it from their family!  It’s adjustable dual stimulation works for most women… maybe not my power girls, but that’s okay!  We have other options for them!  The dual stimulation assists women achieve an orgasm more easily!

The Ina Wave is a TRUE Power tool for Power Girls!  It’s assertive clitoral stimulation does not let up, and it vibrational strength can go from a low rumble to a very strong vibration.  This power tool is amazing in that it can isolate the sensation to clitoral only, g-spot only, or no vibration at all.  AND it has an amazing ability to give the g-spot “come hither” wave… which has been a winner for mot of my customers!  This toy is not for the faint of heart.  It’s a true power tool!

we-vibe sync

The We-Vibe Sync is the most amazing partner play tools, as it can be used both inside the bedroom and out, and it can be used during lovemaking, or for foreplay or solo play!  It’s one of the only toys that can give stimulation to both partners at the same time, and with its bluetooth enabled option or remote control, it takes partner play to a whole new level!  Anywhere in the world!  Don’t miss out on all the We-Vibe toys!

Tenga Egg are a great partner play tool for playing with a penis, or a wonderful solo play toy for those with penis’.  The design on the outside of the egg are the design on the inside of the egg, so  you can select your desired sensation… with more stimulation or less…  They are able to be used for 1 to 8 times… depending on how rough you are with them!  They do pop!  Tenga says they are one time use!  Just add lube!

The Tenga 3D is one of the best sleeves designed for the penis!  It’s beautiful design makes it a subtle toy, when stored, and when turned inside out, it is an amazing sensory play, where the person playing with the toy can feel the sensations through the soft, proprietary material!  It’s an awesome partner play tool, or solo play!  And turn it inside out for easy cleaning!

One of the best, most effective, and yet dismissed male toys is the prostate stimulator, and the one that is a favorite starter, or even more advanced, is the Aneros Helix SYN! The statistics state that when the prostate is stimulated, it can give a man an orgasm 3 to 10 times stronger than a regular orgasm!  With those kind if statistics, and the fact that it helps with prostate health, it’s certainly something worth exploring!

Enjoy Masturbation Month in May!!!

Trystology Talk Podcast E11: Sex Under The Weather

Sex when you’re sick? Why not?

Podcast audio only is available for download at TrystologyTalk.com.

Episode 11 was a tough one, as all our guests were sick with a cold, Roylin included! But, “The show must go on,” and so we shifted the focus to “sex and being sick.” Roylin was able to find 2 articles in Men’s Health magazine which addressed the topic.

But first: Have you had your orgasm today? Roylin was very adamant that all this illness going around was caused by a the lack of enough orgasms in our recent past. With the reflection of all her guest being ill, she pondered whether there had been a deficit overall, with much humor.

What was heard in the store this week? It was hysterical. While helping a male customer in his late 40’s, three young women in their early 20’s were shopping as well, with one trying things on. When she came out of the dressing room, he whispered “I’m not looking, I’m not looking” and Roylin went over to help the her. She looked amazing in the Patrice Catanzaro one piece. She decided to try another on, and then stated, “You guys, you have to tell me, why have I not pursued a profession in stripping?”… to which the man said “You must hear some amazing things here!” Why, yes, we do!

The episode focused on the need to get enough sleep, so that you don’t get sick, and having orgasms, because they help you sleep. They also give you oxytocin, endorphins, and vasopressin, which is shown to make you feel sleepy. So great! There is no evidence of passing on illness through the semen, but definitely not able to kill all germs, even if you bathe in antibacterial cream! So be careful and don’t infect your partner. But don’t be afraid of having an orgasm a day! It can only help with your immune system, among other things!

Womanizer Plus

Oh, and by the way, Womanizer is back on the shelves!

Trystology Talk Podcast E10: Hot Monogamy

Hot Monogamy!

In Episode 10, Roylin talks “Hot Monogamy” with Marriage and Sex Therapist Dr. Megan Fleming. Dr. Fleming has been featured in Cosmo, Oprah, Men’s Health and more. Her motto is, “Become the happiest couple you know.”

But first, Have you had your orgasm today? Roylin forgot that she had! Funny thing, she couldn’t sleep at 1am after a busy day, and needed to have help going to sleep, so out came the toys! How about you?

Heard in the store this week: Two women read the sign outside the store, ‘For Love and Passion,” and exclaimed that they needed some of that! They came into the store, giggling, and searching for love and passion! They found it! Yay!

Megan and Roylin discuss her philosophy that couples should avoid comparing their relationship with that of other couples. Work on creating what’s hot for you and your partner. It takes conscious effort, and Megan suggests role playing, fantasy, and other ideas to keep engaged with your partner. With statistics that show intercourse frequency with your partner at just 1x per month or less constitutes a sexless marriage, Megan and Roylin strive to encourage couples to engage in conscious interaction. This can be in the form of touch and massage, the introduction of a sex toy, or with simple conversation and engagement. Communication is key for partners to share their desires, needs, and wants. This is important because it is known that most couples aren’t necessarily matched on their drive. There needs to be respect and negotiation on frequency, and it is interesting to note that the person with the lower sex drive is in control. It’s just the way it is.

Another fun analogy is that some couples aren’t even on the dance floor together, and that we need to bring them back onto the dance floor so that they can even engage. We discussed hibernation in Episode 8, so that played a bit into getting individuals out of hibernation, and onto the dance floor.

Roylin and Megan will meet again to discuss her new book Invisible Divorce. Until then, enjoy reconnecting with your partners!

Trystology Talk Podcast E8: Sexual Hibernation

Too busy for sex? Sexual Hibernation can happen.

Before talking about sexual hibernation, Roylin discusses An Orgasm A Day. This time about what to do when you or your partner is tired, but you still want to have that orgasm!

And, interestingly enough, the word heard at the store this week had to do with one of our recent episodes about being vanilla!  It’s so fun to have our customers reflect our philosophy back to us with beaming happiness!

This episode focuses on sexual hibernation.  What is hibernation?  As Roylin describes it, it’s a state where we put our sexual health on hold, and sit in that comfortable place, where we don’t address our sexual needs, or desires. Hibernation is not always something we do consciously.  Sometimes it just happens, because our partner is away. Because we don’t have a partner.  Perhaps because life is too busy or stressful or overwhelming to even remember that we have a sexual life. It’s not a bad thing to be in hibernation, but it is something we should be aware of, and something we can consciously choose to get out of. And it has nothing to do with age, as one can be in hibernation in their 20’s just as well s they could be in their sixties.

Roylin discusses how we feel in sexual hibernation, and some of the tools we can use to get out of hibernation. With our brain being our biggest sex organ, we need to remember that we can choose to get out of sexual hibernation. But if that’s not enough, we have tools to help us do so.

Pjur Med Energy Glide

The products of the day are meant to assist in getting us out of sexual hibernation. Whether we use a stimulating tool, like a stimulating balm, warming lubricant, or vibrating tool, there are a number of ways that we can wake up the body and work our way out of hibernation, whether we are with a partner, or not.

Trystology Talk Podcast – Episode 7

Sensory Play, Snow, and Slippery When Wet

Roylin and a sign

In this episode Roylin talks about sensory play, or erotic play using sensations like cold, hot, scratchy, or electric. And the “Have You Had Your Orgasm Today?” segment looks at the challenges of aging and how desire can diminish. But the benefits of intimacy and orgasm, with oxytocin, endorphins, and antibodies, never goes away.

Production for this episode fall’s on Roylin’s birthday, and finds her visiting Palm Springs Aerial Tramway for a walk in the snow. The snow, with its chill, adds a level of sensation that changes toys like the Njoy Eleven or Pure Plug, by creating a cold sensation, or warm sensation if placed in warm water. By using heat or cold with products like glass dildos or steel toys, individuals and couples can change an ordinary toy into an extraordinary experience. In addition to glass and steel, wooden toys, and even electro stimulation, or E-Stim toys can add to the sensory experience by changing the dynamics. Using all sensations, sight, sound, touch and taste, couples can enhance and enjoy each other in a whole new way.

NobEssence Seduction Wooden Dildo

While steel, glass and wood are altered in their feeling through heat and chill, an e-stim toy adds to the experience through increased sensation, and in some cases surprise. An electric shock can add an involuntary body response, much like orgasms do for the body, and like other sensory experiences, amplify the pleasure quotient 3-10 fold.

Whether you are vanilla, or a little bit (or a lot) kinky, each person, or couple, can benefit from the exploration of sensory play. Cool, warm, tactile, sharp, smooth, tickley, or hard can enhance your pleasure. Until you’ve tried it, you never know, so find the most interesting sensation you can find. Start with a soft feather, or something scratchy, and see what you or your partner think.

Trystology Talk Podcast – Episode 6

What exactly is vanilla sex?

In this podcast episode, Roylin explores the “vanilla” side of sexuality. Vanilla can come in so many variations, and not all vanilla relationships are created equal. Urbandictionary.com defines Vanilla Sex as Sex that involves no twists or kinkiness, and no S&M. Basically plain regular sex. Typically sweet and happy and very lovey-dovey.

Like most of what Roylin teaches at Trystology, each person chooses for himself or herself what is right for them. It’s interesting that not even Roylin’s 25-year-old son agrees with the concept that Roylin is “heterosexual, monogamous and vanilla” as she claims. He feels she is breaking the code of vanilla by introducing sex toys into the relationship.

Roylin challenges him to consider that adding a toy to insure a woman achieves an orgasm isn’t beyond the boundaries of vanilla sex! Why does vanilla sex have to be devoid of pleasures or orgasm? So, Roylin took to Facebook to survey whether vanilla could include a toy or not. There were many no’s, however the consensus was yes, it’s okay, as our society has evolved. In creating the survey, Roylin was able to show how diverse perspectives are able to come together with a new definition of vanilla. One participant came up with the following modernized definition for consideration.

Vanilla = lack of any kinks or fetishes. Varied positions and toys are fine because they are mainstream at this point. What used to be a kink in society may not be anymore as the society opens up to the idea.

What’s the deal with all the different types of lubes?

In the Toy Talk portion of the show, Roylin discusses personal lubricants, from Überlube, a silicone and vitamin E lube, to a water and silicone hybrid called Pink Unity. And Good Clean Love, a chemical free, water based lube.

Uberlube

Roylin discusses how lubes can be used to assist women with aging issues, like thinning tissue, or dryness and painful intercourse. Pjur Med Repair is a plant based water based lube that creates a water protection on the tissue to assist with lovemaking and avoiding painful intercourse. When used with Überlube on the male, or toy, you get a combination of protection and glide!

pjur med repair glide

Lastly she discusses the edible lubricants from Sliquid, which Roylin likes to call dessert!! They are delicious flavors, and no matter what you like, whether Strawberry Pomegranate or Pina Colada, you will find a flavor you enjoy!

We hope you enjoy Episode 6 of Trystology Talk!

Trystology Talk Podcast – Episode 5

#ownyourO – Own Your Orgasm!

In this week’s episode of Trystology Talk, Roylin discusses the challenges of fitting in an orgasm every day.  By asking each episode whether you’ve had your orgasm today, the realities of life come face to face, and we begin to realize that it isn’t always as easy as it sounds.  With the brain being the biggest sex organ, things like orgasms, exercise and vitamins, can get put on the back burner when life gets busy. But they are good for us, and part of what makes us healthy.  So she challenges us to figure out how we can fit it in to our busy and complicated days!

“Things We Hear in the Store” is a new addition to the podcast.  In this week’s segment, we heard a man reading the window decal on the outside of our store, “The G-Spot Does exist. Have you found yours?” And without missing a beat, his girlfriend said loudly and giggling, “Well you found it last night!” To which he replied, “Really?! Awesome!”  We just love stuff like that!

Tools for Your Sexual Health

This Trystology Talk episode is about sexual health!  We’ve discussed the health benefits of an orgasm a day, with oxytocin, endorphins, and antibodies, but we also have other areas we should focus on for our sexual health, for both men and women!

Rianne S Playballs

Roylin discusses how women need to focus on their pelvic floor muscles, which get a lot of abuse during childbirth, and need to be tuned up as we age.  The pelvic floor muscles help with things like enhancing the orgasm and assisting with bladder control.  We’ve all been told by our doctors to do “kegels,” which means tightening and pulling in the muscles whenever we’re at a stoplight, or doing dishes for example. Unfortunately, most of us don’t do it. We are fortunate that designers have created products that we can use to do these exercises without much hassle.  But the funny thing we always tell customers is that “they only work if you use them!”

Aneros Helix SYN

For men, the sexual health aspect that needs to be addressed is the prostate.  Being that the prostate is accessed via the anus, it’s a subject, and body part that most men prefer to ignore.  However, the prostate can wreck havoc on men, as it can harden, swell with age. By massaging the prostate, men not only can address their sexual health issues, they can also increase their pleasure.  Statistics show that men can achieve an orgasm 3-10 times more intense with prostate stimulation. What’s not to like about that?!  With the introduction of tools like the Aneros Helix or Eupho, prostate stimulation can be achieved more easily, and even alone.

Trystology Talk Podcast – Episode 4

The Fifty Shades of Play!

Our topic today is Fifty Shades. Why? Because the second movie is coming out!

But first, I want to mention that, as you might have seen on our Trystology Facebook page, we participated in the Women’s March on Washington.  With a store like Trystology, we are women centric, and so this is near and dear to my heart.  I felt called to stand up for women… Because we don’t want to go backwards.  Only forwards.

My favorite part was sharing it with my husband, and amazingly enough my sister and her husband connected with us amidst the hundreds of thousands of people that were there… it was very emotional to share this with her.

Wherever your stance on these subjects, know that we at Trystology support the diverse perspectives.  We just want people to be free to own their bodies and own their orgasms!

Speaking of that… Have you had your Orgasm today?  Against all odds, I did.  What do I mean by that…?  Oh, geez fitting in an orgasm, some days is much like taking vitamins and or doing 20 min of Cardio!  UGH!  Every day I’d prefer to linger in bed with my man and enjoy some lovin’… but these days it’s a “get stuff done” kind of day!  Up and attum!  No time for lingering or lovin’.  So, I must squeeze it in before I go to work… and since the brain is the biggest sex organ, it’s not always willing.  But it is important.  For my mental, physical and emotional health… I own my orgasm.

#OYO – Own Your Orgasm!

With that in mind, I want to propose a #OYO hashtag… Own Your Orgasm!   Many of my clients are shy and don’t want to post with #AnOrgasmADay, so how about just simply #OYO? I’ll be working on this over the next few weeks, but let’s start using it today and spread the love!

It’s been a few years since Fifty Shades of Grey came out. We had so much fun watching women squirm in their seats while reading the book out in public. This isn’t a commentary about the quality of the book, it’s just a phenomenon about a subject that gave women and couples permission to explore something that they were judgmental about or afraid of. I can’t tell you how many men came in and were so excited that their partner was willing to explore a vibrator, or a little bondage or spanking because of reading Fifty Shades.  Whether you liked the quality of writing, or not, Fifty Shades did give a generation or more of women permission to ask questions and explore.

Here’s the thing, in BDSM relationships, there’s conversation and agreement before there’s ever the laying on of hands…  Not so much in traditional relationships.  I’ve always said that it’s attraction.  Hand holding, kissing groping, and lovemaking.  Rarely a discussion about what one wants or agreement.  Fifty Shades chapter 11 reveals a contract which listed the many things a couple could agree on.  It introduces a new way of approaching the conversation and the act of lovemaking. AND it gives you permission to choose with your partner, and not allow societal norms to define your relationship.

Therefore, I loved the phenomenon of Fifty Shades!  Whatever you thought of the concept of the book, if you haven’t at least looked at the first book for ideas, it might be something to explore!

So, what products are we discussing today!?!  Fifty Shades friendly toys!  Blindfolds, cuffs, feather ticklers and spankers!

Once upon a time, it was perceived that these items were too kinky for the vanilla or traditional relationship.  You’d raise an eyebrow at the thought or mention of introducing these, even a vibrator or anal plug or kegal exercisers.  Now each of these items is more or less accepted in some way or another!

Top product today is the Jimmyjane After Dark Blindfold, Cuff and Kegal Balls… soft leather, and glass balls makes this an incredible kit to start or continue play with.

Jimmyjane Blindfold Cuffs Kit

What happens when you blindfold someone or tie them up?  We isolate a sensation, so when people told me that the fact that the book showed she had an orgasm in each session, I say that since she was blindfolded, or restrained, her sensations were amplified, which assisted in making the concept of orgasm more believable.

When we blindfold, and then touch our partner… with our hand, or with a feather tickler, or more scratch toy like a Wartenberg wheel, or scratchy beard, our pleasure sensory receptors are on steroids.

For those that aren’t intimidated by a little heartier cuff, the Kinklab Velcro cuffs, and the under the bed restraints are a fun tool.  They can be situated so that you can get out of them if you place them over the top of the bed, or to the sides, which can be more restrictive. It’s such a reasonably priced kit too!

Ruff Doggie Style Flog-Her Flogger

And then there are sensory items.  Feather ticklers are soft and each feather style can change the sensation.  Crops and floggers tend to be more stingy or sensual, depending on how they are used.  I recommend a suede flogger that you can drape over and caress the skin of your partner, even a fluffy flogger that has soft fabric intertwined with the suede.  And if it is used to flog the body, it can have a softer or more stingy sensation, depending on the type of leather or suede the flogger is made of.

Each person, each couple, chooses what they are comfortable with.  Not all partners are comfortable with restraints, or spanking or flogging.  My job is to let you know what your options are. You get to choose what’s fun for you!

Thanks for sharing this episode of Trystology Talk, Sex and the Empowered Woman.  I’m your hostess Roylin Downs!
