10 Tricks For Building Intimacy

These tricks are a treat for you both.  Pick one or two and cast a romantic spell on your partner this weekend. 

1. Ask about their day.  Be sure to listen to the answers.  Don’t try to fix anything. Just listen.

2. Give a foot rub while you are sitting on the couch together—Inttimo by Wet™ Aromatherapy Massage & Bath Oil Invigorate™ with refreshing eucalyptus & citrus works wonders on tired feet.

3. Leave notes for your partner that shows them you are thinking of them.  Short and sweet or descriptive and sexy.

4. Public displays of affection can be hot and showing the world you are together will make your lover feel special.  Just be sure it’s within the comfort range of your partner and be respectful those around you.

5. Leave a bottle of Wet® Flavored™ Kiwi Strawberry™ lubricant where your lover can find it and when they ask about it, you tell them you’d like your treat now!

6. Body-on-Body Massage...Have you tried Nuru massage? Nuru is a sensual Japanese technique where both partners are completely nude and use full body contact to perform the massage with a thick, ultra-slippery, sexy gel like Wet® Nuru Massage Gel. Learn How to Nuru on Wet’s YouTube Channel.

7. Shower together.  Take time to clean every inch of your partner’s body and let them do the same for you.  Wet® Platinum® Premium Lubricant is perfect when getting wet together because it doesn’t break down in water…just remember to use caution as Wet Platinum is extremely slippery.

8. Go shopping together.  Surprise them and swing by your local adult specialty boutique. Pick out a new toy and a bottle of Wet® Ecstasy® Xtra Cooling Lubricant™. When you dab a few drops over your partner’s erogenous zones then gently blow on those areas, you’ll send gentle shivers of anticipation up your lover’s spine.

9. Tell them you love how they kiss.  This is a definite turn on for many.

10. Wake up your partner’s sexual appetite by cooking together.  Standing close together and feeding each other as you do can be very erotic.  You can also go straight to dessert with Wet® Fun Flavors® Warming, Flavored, Massage, and Lubricant all-in-one!

SEX EDUCATION 101: 6 Things You Weren’t Taught in School...

What you weren’t taught in school…updated information to keep your love life safe and happy.

Summer has come and gone and students are back in school. Most likely it’s been awhile since you had a Sex Ed course and times have changed. Let’s face it—your information is old school!

New York psychiatrist and sex therapist Madeleine Castellanos, MD, offers updated, “new school” information that everyone should know to stay in the safe sex zone: 

• According to the CDC, nearly half of the 19 million new STDs contracted each year are among young people aged 15–24 years (2011).

• Oral sex is not considered ‘safe sex.’ HIV, HPV, herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis may all be transmitted via oral sex.  In addition, a 2011 study found that the proportion of oropharyngeal cancers related to HPV increased from 16.3% to 71.7% between 1984 and 2004.

• Make oral sex safer by using a flavored condom like DKT’s Prudence brand condoms, which offer a wide variety of flavors and scents (banana, watermelon, strawberry, grape, chocolate and more) guaranteed to tickle your taste buds as well as your partner’s fancy!  

• More than $8 billion is spent each year to diagnose and treat STIs and their complications, not including HIV (Guttmacher Institute). STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) are definitely out there.  Protect yourself from getting them and/or spreading them.

• Oil and latex do not mix—so using petroleum jelly, baby oil, moisturizers or everyday kitchen oils with a condom can cause the latex to break down and increases your chance of breakage and infection. Wet® Platinum® Premium Silicone Lubricant and Wet® Light® Liquid Lubricant are both latex-friendly. When used correctly, Wet lube also helps to reduce excess friction, thus lessening the risk of tears.

• That funky smell down there may have nothing to do with hygiene!  A number of everyday triggers, including menstruation, pregnancy, intercourse or medications, can upset the delicate vaginal ecosystem and elevate pH, causing an odor, increase or change in discharge, or a bacterial infection. Fragrance sprays, wipes and pads just mask the problem. RepHresh Gel keeps the pH balanced--an important tool in decreasing chances of bacterial vaginosis, and eliminating that “fishy” odor by treating the root cause.

Wet hopes these tips from sex therapist, MD and psychotherapist, Dr. Madeleine Castellanos will keep your love life safe and intimate this school year.

Did You Miss National Big "O" Day? Tips from The MD.

Did you miss national orgasm day?

National Orgasm Day, July 31, 2014, has come and gone but we’re still celebrating and we want you to come with us!  Joking aside, many, if not most of us, have too few orgasms. And it’s high time to fix that!

Did You Miss National Big "O" Day? Tips from The M.D.

Here are some great tips for putting the big “O” back on top as a national priority and enjoying bodacious orgasms on a regular basis. These points come from “The Sex M.D.,” Dr. Madeleine Castellanos, who is a respected author and sex therapist in New York. She says, “Our sexual functioning cannot be separated from our overall health and happiness.” In other words, good orgasms = good health! 

Dr. C’s tips:

1) Getting to orgasm is easiest when you are relaxed and focused on what’s erotic for you.

2) Learning how to time your breathing can help you reach orgasm more easily.

3) Orgasms cause the release of increased DHEA which is what makes your skin glow and look younger.

4) Using Wet Platinum Premium Silicone Lubricant, accepted as a 510(k) medical device, makes great sex viable and long-lasting even in the shower.  Caution: Very slippery!

5) Orgasms come in all sizes and intensities, so take the time to explore all the variations.

6) Even though orgasms are fantastic, the less you focus on them as a goal in sex, the more likely you are to heighten your arousal and actually reach orgasm.

7) Orgasms help a woman’s brain relax more profoundly than any other activity, even meditation.

8)  If you aren’t getting regular orgasms from sexual activity, take matters into your own hands and masturbate so you can orgasm at least 3 times per week.

9) Using an intimate health and stimulation device strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, which are key to achieving healthy orgasms and also preventing incontinence.

10 Reasons to Use Wet Platinum

Why Wet Platinum? Here are 10 of the top reasons to use Wet Platinum.

1. Wet Platinum Stays Wet Longer.
Wet Platinum is a silicone-based lubricant. Unlike water-based lubricants, silicone molecules are large and are not absorbed, so they remain on the surface of the skin. Because Wet Platinum contains no water, it does not evaporate either, giving you longer-lasting, slippery, friction-free love making and play sessions. There is no mood-breaking, stopping to re-apply necessary. Platinum is always slick, guaranteed never sticky, and doesn’t dry out.

2. Wet Platinum Makes Sex Better.
Vaginal dryness and anal sex without lube nearby, is sure to stop pleasurable intercourse in its tracks. At least one partner at this point may feel turned off and be thinking “I could really use some lubricant right now!” With the mood already at stake, you’re going to need something you can grab quick, apply, and be able to get your groove on. Wet Platinum is the best choice because it’s easy as 1, 2, and 3! Grab it, squeeze it, apply it and you’re ready to go. Absolutely no need to worry because Platinum gives you the perfect slippery glide, and won’t become messy, clumped up, dried out, or sticky. Platinum also won’t burn or disrupt your pH Balance. And since it won’t dry out, you just need a small amount. Apply Wet Platinum to your penis, vagina, sex toys*, and interior/exterior of your condom or anywhere else your heart desires, slip right in, work your magic and enjoy the ride.

*Please note that Wet Platinum is not recommended for use with silicone toys.

3.  Wet Platinum is Safer.
A 2010 Study by Microbicides: Building Bridges in HIV Prevention, named the Use Of Lubricants, Unprotected Anal Sex and the Risk of HIV, compared five lubricants against each other (Astroglide, Elbow Grease, ID Glide, KY Jelly and Wet Platinum). A sixth product named PRÉ was used as a control. The study was looking for the safest lubricant that did the least amount of damage to cellular walls, during anal sex. Damage to cell walls during sex can cause tearing and increase the likelihood of transmission of STI's. The study concluded that "Wet Platinum and PRÉ were the safest. The hyperosmolar nature of the other lubricant gels was associated with cellular toxicity and may lead to increased risk of HIV infection." Wet was the only silicone-based lubricant in the study. The others were water-based. This and one other study examining the effects of sexual lubricants used in anal sex were presented in April at the International Microbicides Conference.

Safety Precaution:  Wet Platinum is very slippery so take care to clean any spills immediately. 

4. Wet Platinum Has Many Uses. 
Dab it in your hair for some shine. Condition your skin and Latex Fetish Wear. Use it for vaginal and/or anal sex. Masturbate in the shower or in bed. Use a palm size amount to give your partner a sensual massage (and it won’t dry up!). Use it to get a really close shave, but be careful not to slip on it in the shower. Put a drop of Platinum on a sticking door or cabinet to stop the squeaking, or use it to untangle knotted bicycle or jewelry chains. Glide it over your body and slip easily in to your wetsuit. Detangle the tail and mane of your horse. The possibilities are endless!

5.  Wet Platinum Uses the Highest Quality Ingredients and is a 510k Accepted Medical Device.
Wet Platinum uses ingredients that are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism), gluten-free, vegan friendly, and contains only plant derived glycerin. Wet Platinum is an FDA (Food and Drug Administration) accepted, Class II medical device. It is also certified Kosher.  That’s right!  Platinum contains no animal-based ingredients and is manufactured and self-certified according to guidelines set forth by the Rabbinical Council of California.

6.  No Smell. No Taste. 
A common complaint about personal lubricants is the way they taste and/or smell.
We take this complaint seriously. While Wet Platinum is an accepted medical device, it does not smell or taste like an antiseptic or any other chemical. It’s completely odorless, has no taste and is considered harmless if ingested.

7.  Doctor Recommended.
The Wet Platinum formula is non-irritating.  Since it has no pH, it won’t disrupt a woman’s pH balance.  Wet products are sampled in medical offices throughout the United States and Canada and have received stellar patient reviews and recommendations from medical doctors. Read more about why Wet is doctor recommended.

8.  Available Everywhere.
Wet has been widely available in love boutiques since 1989.  We understand that not everyone is comfortable visiting their local adult boutique and not all of us live in a city where adult boutiques exist. The adult boutiques do offer a wider selection of Wet products and other intimacy products so check them out if you have the opportunity.  For your convenience, Wet is now widely available in all major pharmacies and mass market retailers across the United States and Canada, and is available online as well, with discreet shipping at www.buywet.com.

“Not a day goes by that I do not mention your products,” says Dr. Jacob Klein. “The availability in CVS and Walgreens has certainly helped.”

9.  Can Be Used in Water.
There really is nothing better than hot sex in the shower. Besides installing handles on your shower walls to hold on to during your steamy sessions, the next essential item is a bottle of waterproof lubricant. Take silicone-based Wet Platinum in the shower with you, squirt some on your fingers, apply to self and/or partner and you’re ready to go. Wet Platinum can also be used in Jacuzzis, lakes, rivers, oceans, bathtubs, and swimming pools. The water will roll over the lube like a bead of water on a leaf. When you’re done and want to clean up just lather up and rinse off, or carry a package of baby wipes on you for fast efficient clean up.
Caution:  Silicone lubricants will break down the silicone seals on your hot tubs, spas and pools over time so it’s best to use it sparingly.

10.  It’s Good Karma! 
We believe that companies are like individuals, each creating their own "Karma." Giving back has been paramount to us since our inception. Through our charitable giving program, we contribute to the work of more than 300 non-profit organizations worldwide.

5 Reasons Doctors Recommend Wet Personal Lubricant

Sex. It’s something we all do. It’s something we all think about. It’s something we all desire. But what happens when sex becomes painful or you just can’t get aroused?

For men, arousal disorders typically come in the form of failure to have or maintain an erection long enough for sex to occur. The solution is simple: Viagra.

For women the answer is not so easy. Women face a number of issues that can decrease her libido, making sex painful, irritating and quite frankly a chore. It’s a frustrating topic because the vast majority of reasons for a decreased libido are things out of a woman’s control: menopause, breast-feeding, disease, and side-effects of medications, to name a few. All these issues result in unenjoyable sex with their partner, which in turn leads to a lack of intimacy in their relationship(s), which in turn leads to having less sex. It’s a vicious cycle so serious that professions exist solely to solve it: marriage counselors, sex therapists, post-menopausal practitioners, medical doctors, and so forth and so on. We here at Wet decided to speak with some of these doctors, and were overwhelmed by their enthusiasm for our product and how it has helped their patients regain a new sense of intimacy in to their lives.

Here are the top 5 reasons Medical Professionals recommend Wet Personal Lubricant:

1.  Wet is an over-the-counter solution for temporary relief from vaginal dryness. Vaginal dryness is a common sexual arousal disorder. The causes of vaginal dryness are numerous, with the most common being: menopause, breast-feeding, disease, medication side-effects, stress/anxiety, hormonal imbalances, and low self-esteem. When vaginal dryness occurs, and a lubricant is not applied to either party prior to penetration, the likely result is that sex will feel like sandpaper. When that happens, her muscles shut down and her vagina says “No More. Game Over”.

The good news is, this situation can be prevented and fixed.

Doctor Lauren Streicher, Associate Clinical Professor of OBGYN at Northwestern University’s Medical School and author of Love Sex Again, recommends a silicone-based lubricant as a solution for vaginal dryness during sex. “Silicone is slippery, long lasting, latex compatible and does not carry the risk of causing a vaginal yeast infection,” Streicher says. She recommends a silicone-based lubricant over a water-based lubricant, because it is longer lasting and less likely to cause irritation.

Dr. Erin Gertz, Instructor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science at Mount Sinai Hospital also recommends Wet Platinum for vaginal dryness. She tells us “I’ve recommended Wet to many of my menopausal patients and they love these lubricants. They are so happy to have a non-hormonal alternative for vaginal atrophy systems.”

2.  Wet is an excellent choice for menopausal and breast-feeding women. Menopause can be an emotional time for women, not only because of the mood changes brought on by the vast decrease in her estrogen levels, but because she often believes it means the end of having a healthy sex life. Breast-feeding women also experience a decrease in her levels of estrogen, which often leads to the emergence of temporary menopausal like symptoms.

We discussed vaginal dryness above, which is an inevitable side effect of going through changes to estrogen levels. However, burning and painful intercourse are also hallmarks of decreased estrogen levels. Using a Wet Personal Lubricant that meets your needs will certainly help overcome these problems.

“I prefer the silicone-based lubricants for my post-menopausal and breast-feeding patients,” Dr. Stephanie Lee tells Wet. “I end up writing ‘Wet Platinum’ on pieces of paper and sending patients off on a search to their local pharmacy!”

3.  Wet Brings Couples Closer Together. It doesn’t take a doctor’s advice to figure out that physical intimacy is an important part of any romantic relationship. When arousal disorders arise in either partner, it can create friction and feelings of grief. Every relationship experiences its ups and downs, but an arousal disorder can create long-lasting ‘down times’.  Fortunately, Wet Lubricants, Inttimo by Wet™ Aromatherapy Massage and Bath Oils and Wet® Nuru™ Body-On-Body Massage Gel can help bring that spark back in to your life, to make you and your partner feel as good as new and feel closer than ever.

“Wet Lubricants products are a great ‘ice-breaker’ for patients that have arousal disorders to go home and try,” says Dr. Christine Isaacs.

Since Wet makes many products, ranging from silicone-based, water-based,  hybrid (water + silicone), cooling, warming, anal and flavored lubricants, to Wet® wOw Clitoral Arousal Gel, and a ‘his-her together’ lubricant, Dr. Isaacs is right. There are an array of options to choose from, that will certainly spice up your sex life.

“When my patients simply ask their partner to apply Wet Lubricant, that itself is a positive factor in helping many inhibited couples learn to make love to one another. It gives people permission to be openly sexual and be ‘daring’,” says Dr. Kenneth Pollock, Director of the Sexual Health Practice at New York Medical College.

4.  Wet Is Available Everywhere.  Wet has been widely available in love boutiques since 1989.  We understand that not everyone is comfortable visiting their local adult boutique. And not all of us live in a city where adult boutiques exist. Wet is now available in all major pharmacies and mass market retailers across the United States and Canada.  The adult boutiques offer a wider selection of Wet products and other intimacy products.  Wherever you choose to go, you’ll find Wet there. 

“Not a day goes by that I do not mention your products,” says Dr. Jacob Klein. “The availability in CVS and Walgreens has certainly helped.”

To locate a store near you, that carries Wet, please visit Wet Locator.

5.  Wet is the best. Wet is worth it.  Dr. Michael Goodman, pioneer of the development and advancement of Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery and author of MEN-opause, The Book For Men, tells Wet, “I LOVE your products and they are #1 on my list of recommended personal lubricants for my patients (as well as #1 off the shelf at home, but that is another matter). A major part of my practice involves sexual medicine, and I always counsel regarding external lubricants. Favorites are your 'Wet Original' and 'Wet Platinum'. I just bought a bottle of Wet Platinum and have it at my girlfriend’s house.”

Dr. Lauren Streicher recently appeared on The Steve Harvey Show, holding a bottle of Wet Platinum in her hands, recommending a silicone-based lubricant to the 40% of women who currently experience a sexual arousal disorder. She explains that “...while household products such as olive oil, baby oil or lotions may be more affordable, they are not recommended because of their potential for yeast infections, irritation and not being condom compatible. Cheap household items Are not designed to be used in or around the vagina.”

What it boils down to is you get what you pay for. Wet Lubricants can enhance your life. Dr. Colleen Swayze, board certified Obstetrician Gynecologist agrees. “Wet is a Godsend,” she says.

Sexual Adventures are Better with Lube!

As a college girl, I’ve never really been a fan of having a bottle of lube in night stand. Somehow, I had it stuck in my head that pulling out lube in the heat of the moment would be a turn off. After all, getting wet is a natural bodily process - and admitting that your lubrication isn’t always up to par was kind of like admitting a biological defeat.

For a very long time, I was the kind of girl who could get wet just by brushing up against a hot guy at the bar. Then, after going on some allergy meds, my tropical paradise turned Sahara dry, and even my favorite vibrator produced barely more than a lick’s worth. As I started to journey into the lube section of the toy store, I realized there were many more options than met my little lube-virgin eyes. Suddenly, a world of possibility opened up, and I discovered all the many types and uses of lube!

Now that I’m happily off my allergy meds and my vagina is back to the flourishing jungle it once was, I still haven’t gotten rid of my lubricants. In fact, I’m still trying more and more, and finding more ways to use and love them! Whether you’re using it as an aid for dryness or a fun way to spice things up - there comes a time and a place in every gal’s sexscapades that a bottle of lube can come in handy! Here are some of my favorite reasons to reach for a bottle of lube - and why it is one sexy accessory that every girl should have in her naughty drawer!

Lube for Everyone!

Don’t be shy about reaching for lube if you’re needing a little extra glide, or just want to turn up the heat in the bedroom. Like me, you may be in your twenties, who thought that lube is for when you get older, have kids, and your parts aren’t working like they used to - but that’s not the case at all. There are a thousand reasons you may need a little extra lubrication. Maybe you are on a medication that dries up your sinuses, and guess what, your vagina too. Or maybe your partner is raring to go and it will take a few more minutes for you to catch up. Or maybe you’re just looking to try something new. Using lube doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, it just means you’ll get a little extra support, excitement, and stimulation when and where you need it. So lube up, let go, and start playing!

Flavored Lube

We usually think of lubricant as part of penetration, but lube doesn’t have to be on just your lady bits. Put it anywhere you want to be licked, sucked, and caressed - like your neckline, nipples, panty line, or other erogenous zones - to experiment with taste, touch, and sensation during foreplay. You’ll start to taste sweet and sexy, like an aphrodisiac was poured onto your body, waiting to be licked off and devoured. Your partner will be instantly attracted to the places you enjoy the most, and he won’t be able to stop himself from getting each and every flavor off of you. There’s nothing better than the sensation of your partner’s lips and tongue as they greedily search your body for more of your seductive, sweet taste. You’ll feel like you’re being served a-la-carte, like the most expensive desert at a 5-star restaurant in NYC, ready to be enjoyed in an erotic feast.


New Sensations

Lubricants with added sensation are a fabulous way to heat things up in the bedroom. Literally, they heat up or cool or tingle - they’re designed to. Regardless of your preference, they are designed to provide some extra stimulation and sensitivity that makes touch and sex feel even better. Lubricants with added sensation are designed to be used during sex but often, women find that having a warming or cooling sensation internally can be uncomfortable. Personally, I’d rather not feel like my vagina is a fire ant hill buy hey, some people are into it. If you cringe at the thought of warming or cooling, you can still use them externally on your clitoris, outer vaginal areas, or even on your nipples. Many arousal products can provide some extra stimulation and sensitivity, without being used internally. It is fun to experiment and switch things up with your partner - and sparking up a sensation storm is a very novel way to do it!


Big Toys and Big Men

Sometimes all the natural lubrication in the world isn’t going to get his fist and forearm of a penis into your delicate flower. The first time I ever reached for a bottle of lube was when I was faced with something that looked more like a toddler’s arm holding an apple than a penis. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Lubrication is the body’s natural response to arousal - and feeling wet actually makes you more aroused, which in turn makes your vagina expand. Just remember, the body has its limits. I don’t care how wet you think you are; your body is never naturally wet enough to prepare yourself for a freak of nature. Apply liberally to yourself and your partner before trying to fit a watermelon through a keyhole. Trust me, you and your vagina will thank lube in the morning.

Anal Adventures

If you’re diving into uncharted waters, you’re definitely going to want reach for lube, lube, and more lube!! The vagina is naturally self-lubricating, but the ass is not - so slather a hefty amount of lube on you and him or you and your toy, and keep applying it to both of you throughout your sexy time. Remember when you got your wisdom teeth out, and the doctor told you to take pain killers before you felt any pain? Yeah, it’s exactly like that. You want to be pro-active with your anal lubrication before your partner starts to feel like a painful #2. Lucky for anal lovers, there’s lubes made specifically for your back door adventures. Reach for a silicone-based lube, which tends be much smoother, long-lasting, and non-drying for the best results. Just be sure to lay down a towel refrain from using it with nice lingerie or silicone toys. Silicone can stain any material it comes in contact with (which means you’ll be throwing out that gorgeous chemise) and is known to melt silicone toys over time.

Sex After Hysterectomy -- Make It Slippery!

Over 500,000 women in the United States undergo hysterectomy each year.  One third of women will lose their uterus by age 60. Virtually every one of those women expresses concerns, to her doctor, to her partner, or herself about how hysterectomy will affect her sexual function, desire, and desirability. Unfortunately, studies have shown that only half of gynecologists initiate a discussion of sex and few patients (about 13 percent) are willing to bring it up themselves. That means a lot of women who worry about their postoperative sexuality do just that, worry.

Recent studies show that in the absence of ovary removal that initiates menopause, there are no significant adverse effects of hysterectomy on sexual function. A 1999 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine tracked over one thousand women during the two years after their surgeries and, unlike many earlier studies, evaluated sexual function both before and after hysterectomy. The results of the study were reassuring and validated what most gynecologists (but not most pre-op patients) knew all along. Seventy-seven percent of the women in the postoperative group were sexually active one year after surgery, in contrast to only seventy-one percent of the group the year before. This finding is not surprising, given that the study also demonstrated that the number of women who experienced pain during sex decreased from 19 percent to 4 percent. The bottom line is that for most women, frequency of sexual activity consistently increased and sexual pleasure increased.

So once you have had your final post hysterectomy check-up, and your doctor has given you the go-ahead to resume sexual activity, here’s how to make your first post hysterectomy experience one that was worth waiting 6 weeks for:

In spite of your doctor’s reassurances that everything will be fine, the biggest hurdle to overcome is fear. Many women are understandably nervous about having intercourse, thinking that it might create a problem or that they will experience pain. A nice warm bath and maybe a glass of Champagne will not only relax you, but also put you in the right frame of mind.

Pick a position that will allow you to be in control of how quickly things progress. Spooning on your side with your partner in back of you not only will be the most comfortable, but will protect a belly incision (if you have one).

In spite of your doctor’s OK, being somewhat apprehensive often results in a total lack of lubrication. In addition, if you went into menopause as a result of your hysterectomy, your vagina and vulva may be dry. So be prepared.

The right lubricant is essential. Silicone lubes are far more slippery than water based lubes and last longer. So, before you even contemplate intercourse, make sure to take a generous amount of Wet Platinum Premium Silicone Lubricant, put it all over your fingers and apply it to the outside of your vagina.

Don’t forget to also put some Wet Platinum over your partner’s penis. Since most men are a little leery about post hysterectomy sex (studies show many guys aren’t even sure what was actually removed!), applying lube to his penis will not only make things more slippery, but also distract him from any concerns he may have. 

And go for it. You will be relieved to find that sex if anything, is better than it was before.

Make Time To Relax & Refresh This Summer!

It¹s summertime and the living is not always so easy. Your social calendar is full of weddings you absolutely must attend. You're trying to squeeze an extra hour of exercise and outdoor activities into each day while it's still light out until late. And your work load hasn't lightened up. In fact you're working extra to make up for time you took off over the summer holidays and to cover your co-workers' vacation schedules. If you don't slow down, summer is going to be over before you get a chance to enjoy it. Make a plan to spend the last month of summer putting the focus on relaxation. Establish a healthy routine that brings you peace and puts you on the road to bliss. We've got ideas to make all of your daily tasks more enjoyable. And then you'll be able to find the time for the things you really want to do…like have a lot of sex!

Ah, the perfect way to relax in the summer is to go to the spa. Take a friend and relax with a massage or a facial and just let your mind be blank for an entire day while you’re pampered by the professionals. Or if you stay at home for a do-it-yourself spa day, make sure you designate a quiet area in the house where you won’t be disturbed or distracted.

Leave the kids behind for a trip to the pool, because it’s not just any old hot summer day outing. Go to the pool with the intention of relaxing and unwinding. Bring a towel that’s fresh and fluffy out of the dryer. Lay it out on a pool chair and bask in the glorious sunshine. Close your eyes and let yourself fall asleep if you feel like it. Or nap in the shade if that’s what turns you on.

It's steamy hot outside, so why not make it just as hot inside when you relax at home with a steamy DVD. Find a sexy movie that turns you both on and a cool space to relax. As you watch, feed each other popsicles or chilled white wine. Kissing and nuzzling will soon lead to body massages. The next thing you know, you'll be teaching the people in the film you're watching a new move or two. 

You don't have to wait until you are in bed to unleash your sexual beast. Let your sexuality shine when you tell your lover that you're going to run errands…but you're not wearing any panties underneath your miniskirt. Or send some sexy texts to your significant other while you are away from each other with all the dirty details of what you plan to do to him when you're together again. 

After a night of sexual escapades make plans to have breakfast Al Fresco. You're already feeling relaxed after an evening of amorous activity, so put on a sexy robe and serve pancakes and orange juice outside on the patio. That maple syrup doesn't have to be limited for use on the pancake. There are plenty of other places you might want to try drizzling it. Then have him lick it off.

Sexy Summer Aphrodisiacs

Are you thinking about whipping up a summer love potion?

It's that time of year when things get sizzling hot outside and your thoughts become focused on sex and romance. It's the perfect time of year to include a few foods that may have aphrodisiac properties in a romantic dinner just for two.

We've got some great ideas about what you should have on your table to increase you and your lover's libido.

Strawberries: How could a tiny fruit that's covered in seeds not be a symbol of fertility and sex? It's also delicious and sweet. And perfect when paired with the year-round libido-stimulating chocolate. Yum!

Honey: You can drizzle it all over your lover's body and then lick it off for fun. Honey was  once known as the “nectar of Aphrodite" and has been known to have properties that give people an extra boost of energy.

Basil: This leafy herb is said to increase blood flow, and as you know, sex is all about the blood flow. So nibble a little basil and don't be surprised if you notice your sex drive revving up. If that doesn't pump up your libido, what will?

Arugula: It's spicy! And it makes a delicious summer salad, especially when you include asparagus, a vegetable that's been known to boost your stamina (in bed).

Tomatoes: These delicious fruits of summer were once known as "love apples." Pair them with basil and some fresh mozzarella to make a summer salad that will certainly satisfy you and whet your appetite for a little somethin' somethin' after dinner.

Bananas: How can you not consider this phallic shaped treat an aphrodisiac. Not only is it delicious, the potassium punch that it packs will keep you from getting muscle cramps when you're involved in *ahem* strenuous activity.

20 Questions To Ask On A First Date

Most people will tell you that they hate dating. Especially first dates. You're both nervous. You're both uncertain. You're feeling unfamiliar. And it's a lot like a job interview, so you're worried about making a good impression.

What if instead of worrying about making a good impression, you put the focus on your date. You make them feel comfortable by asking questions about them. That would probably make them feel like you are interested in them. And it would be a great way to make a good first impression.

So all you would need is a few questions to get the conversation started on your first date. But remember to be engaged and listen to the answers.  Don't interrupt. 

Here are 20 Questions to break the silence.

1. Where do you work? What do you do? Have you found your dream job?

2. What's your favorite dessert?

3. What food do you hate?

4. What's your favorite movie of all time? What kind of movies do you like?  

5. What do you do in your free time? What do you do for fun? What is your passion?

6. Where is your dream travel destination? Have you ever been there?

7. Are you a cat or a dog person?

8. If you ruled the world, what would you change about it?

9. What's the best piece of advice you ever gotten from a total stranger?

10. Who do you admire most? Not famous and famous.

11. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

12. What's one thing about you that would surprise me?

13. Where do you feel the most relaxed?

14. What's your favorite way to spend a Saturday?

15. If your house was on fire, what’s the first thing you’d grab to save?

16. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

17. What was your worst job ever?

18. What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done?

19. What’s the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to you?

And just in case things are going well and you want to go a little deeper:

20. How long ago was your last relationship? Why do you think it didn't work?

But that last one is really a question that you can explore further on your second date. 

Remember, it is the other person's first date with you too and they may be just as nervous.
Just relax, listen, and enjoy getting to know the other person on your first date. You never get a second chance to have a good first date.

Best Places To Meet Your Summer Romance

It's summertime and as the temperatures heat up, so do our thoughts about love and sex. Summer is a great time to meet someone new and enjoy the pleasures of a new romance. If you're sitting around the house daydreaming about romance, it's time to get off the sofa and get out and join the party. 

We've got ten great places for you to meet your summer romance. 

1. Beach 
 You don't have to look like a Sports Illustrated super model to have fun at the beach. All you have to do is get there. You can go and spend the day playing in the water and on the sand. Or you can go and read a book in the shade of an umbrella while listening to the relaxing sounds of waves lapping against the shore. Take a walk in the waves. Say "hi" to every person and every puppy that you meet. You just never know when you might find "the one." 

2. Ball Game 
 You don't have to spend a fortune on tickets for a MLB game. (But if you look, you may find some cheap tickets in the outfield.) It's all about atmosphere, and an MLB game is all about enjoying a summer evening with friends. The game is slow and relaxing. There's singing during the seventh inning stretch and ice cream. No MLB near you? Watch a college baseball game on campus or try a rec league game in a local park. 

3. Classroom 
 School is in for summer! It's the perfect time of year to explore something that you've always wanted to try, but never thought you'd get the chance. Take a sailing, surfing or paddleboarding class at the beach. Or try your hand at gourmet cooking. Sign up for a photography class and go on a safari. The options are endless. 

4. Girls' Night Out 

You don't have to hang with the boys to meet men. Plan a night out with your friends, and when you're having all that fun, you'll be sure to draw the attention of people who want to join in. 

5. Farmers Market 
You don't have to be a couple to enjoy a Farmers Market. In fact, you're more likely to interact and enjoy the vendors if you're alone. Take samples and ask questions. You may discover something (or someone) completely new. 

6. Outdoor Movies 
It's hard to find a local drive-in theatre -- but there are parks everywhere that are screening movies on the sides of buildings (and monuments in at least one Hollywood cemetery) in almost every city. Find out when your favorite guilty pleasure is showing -- and go. 

7. Dog Park 
It's a well-known fact that a man with a baby carriage is a chick magnet. And a girl with a dog on the other end of her leash is going to attract a lot of attention too. Make sure you and your pooch are friendly and outgoing. 

8. Volunteer 
There's one thing you should know about volunteering -- you will always get in return more than you are able to give. You'll find that giving of your time is more fun than just giving money. Find a charity that means something to you -- and volunteer. 

9. Amusement Park 
It's a place that's meant for people to have fun. Isn't that the perfect time and place to meet someone special? And you'll know exactly where to go on the anniversary of your first date. 

10. Ice Cream Store 
Let's face it, now that it stays light out so late, there's no reason to hang around in the house catching up on reruns. Get out and take a stroll up the street to your favorite ice cream spot or Fro Yo stand. It's the perfect cool treat on a hot summer night. And you never know who you might meet while you're standing in line.

Six Tips To Feel Sexy At The Beach

It's the first day of summer. That means beach season has officially begun. Many people look forward to a day frolicking at the beach, but for others it's a day filled with horrors -- starting with putting on a bathing suit.

A day at the beach can be fun…and sexy. We've got some ideas about how you can feel so sexy at the beach that Giselle Budchen won't have anything on you!

Get A Bathing Suit That Fits
You don't have to wear a string bikini. In fact, you shouldn't wear one unless that's how you feel the most comfortable. Instead find a suit that fits -- both your body and your style. There are stores online where you can buy different sized tops and bottoms. Go vintage and show your curves off like a pin-up. Or go more athletic with a one piece suit that will allow you to play in the sand and the waves.

Be Confident
Being confident often means being prepared. That means that you should bring all the essentials for a day at the beach. Don't forget your sunscreen and a snack. Bring and extra towel or two -- hair accessories, bug spray and band-aids are a great idea. And you might want to bring some lube -- just in case. (Go with silicone-based because it doesn't break down in water.) Select a back pack or beach tote that's big enough to fit everything you need.

Wear A Hat
Let's face it. If you're going to spend a day getting in and out of the water, you're probably not going to be able to maintain a blow-dry style. There's no need to fuss. Plan on wearing a hat. It will help keep the sun off your face and make you feel chic and sexy.

Smell Good
There is nothing sexier than a tropical breeze. Make sure you smell like one by moisturizing with your favorite aromatherapy oils before you leave for the beach. Apply your SPF sunscreen at the beach. And reapply often.

Be Active
Don't spend the day baking like a cookie on an oven rack. Enjoy your time at the water. There are so many activities that you can't do anywhere else. Go for a hike along the shore. Swim and body surf in the waves. If the water is smooth, you can learn how to paddleboard. If you want to stay on dry land, then play volleyball or touch football.


Spend Some Time Alone
There is nothing sexier than a man or woman with a secret. So don't feel like you have to be the life of the party. Take some time to nap in the shade or read a book under an umbrella. Someone might be intrigued enough to come over and ask questions.

Michael Douglas Says Oral Sex May Have Caused His Cancer

Stop the presses! We can't believe what we heard through the Internet grapevine overnight.

Actor Michael Douglas, star of stage and screen and husband of the beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones says cunnilingus causes cancer? 

Could that be true? 

Seriously?

Douglas was at the Cannes International Film Festival being interviewed by Xan Brooks of The Guardian. When he was asked if he thought his throat cancer was caused by drinking and smoking, he went in another directon that the reporter clearly didn't anticipate.

"No. Because, without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), which actually comes about from cunnilingus," Douglas said.

The reporter, believing he may have misheard the actor, asked Douglas to repeat his answer.

"From cunnilingus. I mean, I did worry if the stress caused by my son's incarceration didn't help trigger it. But yeah, it's a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer."

And so just like that, Michael Douglas has brought awareness to the link between HPV and some forms of cancer. It is, in fact, true that there is a link between HPV and cancer. You can find out more about it in this MSNBC report.  

And now Michael Douglas is the new poster boy for oral sex. Who'd guessed that?

Online Dating Tips For Martha Stewart

Last week, Martha Stewart revealed that not only was she interested in dating, she's got a Match.com profile. Many people were shocked to think that a woman her age (she's 71) would want to date or more importantly take lover, but the rest of us know that a vibrant woman like Martha should be dating, and having sex.

We want to give Martha big kudos for embracing the Internet age and signing up for online dating. It's a great way to meet a lot of people quickly. She may not find her perfect match through an online dating site, but it is a great way to meet people outside of your own social circle.

There are a few rules that Martha (and her contemporaries) should keep in mind when they first start online dating.

Don't Have Sex On The First Date
              Unless you want to AND you're prepared. That means you've brought protection from STDs and you're only looking for a physical relationship. Know that relationships can change after you have sex, so if that's what you want -- go for it.  A few years ago, online daters had a third date rule -- that was the date when sex became an option. No one should ever feel pressure to make a date physical. Especially if you 've just jumped back into dating after a long period of time off. You know best when you're feeling sexy, make sure that you keep to your own schedule.

Avoid Dating George Clooney

                Unless you're just in it for fun. When a man says he doesn't want to have a relationship with one particular woman...believe him. Then just sit back and enjoy yourself and don't take it too seriously. This isn't your first rodeo, so you should be able to spot a selfish lover quickly. Trust your instincts. If you think that your date isn't as emotional invested as you are in being in a relationship, walk away, it's probably true. Life is too short to be dating anyone who doesn't fit your lifestyle .

Keep Your Options Open

                Just because you've made the final purchase doesn't mean you can't window shop. Dating online shouldn't narrow your options. You should continue to look for someone nice in your social circle or neighborhood. Getting to know someone in an exercise class or where you work or volunteer, takes the pressure off of dating. While you're letting that relationship develop, you can continue online dating so you won't be sitting home alone on a Saturday night.

Establish Your Boundaries

                Don't want to have someone sleep over at your house? Just want a companion for social events? Want to date someone who lives in a different geographic location. Perfect. Tell your date what you expect from dating. Being honest will avoid hurt feelings and confusion.

Don't Abandon Your Past            

Don't feel like you have to be a "born-again" virgin to get back into the dating scene. If you're dating other people your own age, they'll expect you to come with baggage -- including ex-spouses, children and grandchildren. Someone worth dating will embrace you and everything you bring with you -- just as you will embrace them.
