Buying gifts for your partner can often pose as one of the myriad stressors over the holidays. Such stressors manifest in many ways, including a reduced sex drive or feelings of desire.
Doesn’t it then seem like this would be the perfect time to kill two birds with one stone?
Throw a little sex accoutrement into the mix. You’ve probably been wanting to mix things up for a while. A mission that can be daunting, but sometimes the smallest gestures have the biggest impact.
My boyfriend had made a few comments to me, such as ‘Maybe you should tie me up and have your way with me’ and ‘If you dominated me, then you could do whatever you want with me.’ I’d never tied anyone up, but I bought him a silk blindfold last year for Christmas and used it on him. It was hot for sure and led to other things. This year, I got some under bed restraints. Who knows what I’ll get him next year.”—Eliza, 38, living in the Sunset
"My wife had been ambivalent about vibrators since we’d first met, but after we had kids, she’s been unable to orgasm as frequently. So I got her a mini vibrator, and now we no longer have that issue; we have way more sex with multiple guaranteed orgasms.”—Michael, 42, living in Pacific Heights
So here are even more gifts to help with the holiday cheer (the season of giving just keeps on going, doesn’t it?). These goodies are from Good Vibrations, which has stores in the Bay Area. It’s the perfect place for last-minute gifts.
