TMI Tuesday: Sex, Sex, and More Sex



Sex
 sex and more sex

1. Have you ever considered yourself completely sexually satisfied?
(Thank you Sex in Words for this question)
Oh, good question. I would have to say that the only time I have been completely sexually satisfied was when hubby and I were in the first months of our relationship and couldn't keep our hands off each other. We had sex at least twice a day and we were constantly touching each other in some form or another. 
2. What was the last sexy photo you took?
The last sexy photo I took was for hubby and it was about 2 months ago. I've been talking about taking more, I just haven't gotten around to doing it, yet. 
3. When was the last sexy photo you took AND sexted? What was it of and to whom was it sent?
The last time I sexted was several months ago. It was a photo of my naughty bits and I sent it to my hubby. He is the only person that gets sexy photos of me.
4. How is your sex-life?
a. Like a wet blanket
b. Like a warm cozy comforter
c. Like an electric blanket getting you all heated up
d. None of the above, I sleep without covers
At the moment I would have to choose B. We have been trying some new things and pushing some boundaries to heat things up some. 
5. What’s your idea of good foreplay?
Foreplay is a HUGE part of our playtime. There is always a lot of touching, hot kisses, and often winds up with someone getting oral. We enjoy teasing one another so much that the foreplay often lasts longer than the sex!
Bonus: Can you have a great, long-lasting sex life with the same partner? How?
I believe that you can have a great sex life with one partner. I think the key is to keep things fresh and always communicate. Communication is key to any aspect of a relationship, so why should it be different for sex? Keep an open mind and don't be afraid to try something new. But most importantly, have sex! The more sex you have, the more sex you want. 



We-Vibe: Salsa



PACKAGING:

The We-Vibe Salsa arrived to me in a white, trapezoidal box with a photo of the salsa on the front. Opening the box there is a plastic form that the Salsa itself is nestled into, along with the docking portion of the recharging system. There is a small user manual sitting on top of a smaller box. Inside the smaller box is the charging cord and a white satin storage bag big enough for the Salsa and its charging system. While the box does not scream "sex toy," the photo on the front and the words "personal massager" in 6 different languages remove all discretion.

MATERIAL/TEXTURE:

The Salsa is made of non-porous, phthalate-free ABS plastic. It is hard and smooth, with absolutely no texture at all. The only part of this toy that is not plastic is the button, and that feels an awful lot like silicone to me. 




 SIZE:

The Salsa is a small, lipstick-sized bullet vibrator. It measures in at just 3 1/2" long and 5/8" in diameter, making it ideal for any kind of outing. You could easily slip this little baby into your purse or pocket for fun on the go. Just be careful not to lose this beauty!

 FUNCTION:



The We-Vibe Salsa is a bullet-style vibrator designed for clitoral stimulation. This is not a product for internal stimulation, of any kind, and will almost guarantee you an embarrassing trip to the ER if you try to use it anally. We-Vibe also equipped the Salsa with a rechargeable motor and 8 different settings, ranging from 3000 rpms to 4800 rpms. The best part; the Salsa is 100% waterproof. Turn it on and drop it in a bucket, I did. It was a lot of fun, and the Salsa was completely undamaged. 




 PERFORMANCE:

We-Vibe packed such a powerful motor into such a little package that I wonder if they employ some kind of wizard to create these masturbatory masterpieces. There is so much power packed into this bullet that I was able to hold the Salsa in my hand and use my finger as the stimulator. The variety of intensity and patterns of the functions still allows me to build-up to an orgasm, then sends me hurtling over the edge of pleasure, giving insane clitoral orgasms.

The Salsa is small enough to be used during intercourse. I like to use mine when we are doggystyle because I can easily reach back and stimulate his testicles or my clit. I have yet to be disappointed by this amazing vibrator.




CLEANING:

The best way to keep the Salsa clean and happy is soap and water or commercial toy cleaner. Alcohol or a 10% bleach solution can be used to sanitize. Because the Salsa is waterproof, it is super easy to clean. There is no worrying about it getting lost at the bottom of your sink as you wash up.

 LUBE:

Plastic is safe for any type of lubricant, be it oil, water, or silicone-based. It is a non-porous material so a dab of lubricant is, likely, all you will need. The control button on the end of the Salsa feels as though it may be made of silicone. Keep that in mind if using silicone-based lubricants, as it could degrade the material.




 POSITIVES:

Strong, intense vibrations come from this small little bullet. The Salsa is completely waterproof, body-safe, and sanitizable. The rechargeable motor eliminates the need to purchase multiple batteries.

NEGATIVES:

The intense vibrations of the Salsa may be too intense for some. Also, We-Vibe has discontinued the Salsa. They do have the Tango, who I hear is identical to the Salsa, except for the tip. Salsa has a pointed tip, while Tango has a lipstick-shaped tip.

 STORAGE:

The Salsa comes with its own storage pouch straight from the manufacturer. It is big enough to hold the charging system, as well as the vibrator itself. The pouch is made of a white satiny material that is quite beautiful.

SSA Glass: Deep Water G






PACKAGING:

The Deep Water G arrived at my door, wrapped in bubble wrap and tucked into a red velvet pouch. I was pleasantly surprised that the storage pouch was included, since I prefer to store most of my toys in individual pouches.  I was also happy to see that steps were taken to ensure that this product made it to me intact and undamaged. The pouch, itself, is not padded. It works just fine for at-home storage, but I would suggest something with a little more protection, when traveling with the Deep Water G.



MATERIAL/TEXTURE:

SSA Glass produces high quality borosilicate glass sex toys. These glass toys are not only fun to play with; they are truly beautiful works of erotic art. Borosilicate glass is the type of glass used in Pyrex brand bakeware due to its ability to withstand more extreme temperatures. This glass is tempered, so if it were to break, there would not be tiny shards of glass shattered across the room, but rather big, chunky pieces that are much easier to clean up. Glass is a hypoallergenic, non-porous material that has no smell or taste. 

SIZE:

The Deep Water G is a slightly curved, cobalt blue, textured dildo. The two ends have different sized bulbs and there is a nice line of nubs along the shaft. The glass itself has a smooth surface with no real drag. The curve on this dildo is just on the one side, and isn’t very pronounced. The Deep Water G measures 7 ¾” in total length, and with two ends, it is fully insertable. The first end I measured has two glass ball like shapes on the end; these measure 1 ¼” in diameter at the widest parts. The shaft of this dildo has a diameter of 1” with a total of 7 nubs that add an additional ¼” in diameter, and are about 1/2” round. The other end of this dildo is the G-spot side and it is a bit bigger than the other end at 1 ½” in diameter. The Deep Water G is a bit on the heavy side, at approximately 11 ounces. 



USE:

The Deep Water G was designed by SSA Glass to be a dual-ended penetrative toy capable of G-spot stimulation. This is a toy that is perfect for temperature play, solo stimulation, and partner play, however it is not recommended for anal use.

PERFORMANCE:

While the Deep Water G may not be immediately recognizable as a G-spot toy, it does its duty well. With two ends of differing texture, this dildo is a great option for both glass beginners and the more advanced players, alike. This is a toy that is long enough for comfortable solo masturbation, but be aware of wrist fatigue during longer sessions, due to the weight of this toy. A small dab of lube onto this smooth glass toy will have it sliding into you with ease. Personally, I like to have my husband use this dildo on me while he uses his mouth. The only issue we have come across is in the thrusting power. Because this is a hard material, vigorous thrusting could result in internal bruising. It is wise to keep this in mind if you enjoy a lot of hard, fast thrusting when using dildos. All in all, the Deep Water G performed brilliantly.



CARE & MAINTENANCE:

Borosilicate glass is compatible with any type of lubricant you wish to use. General washing should be done with an anti-bacterial soap and warm water or a universal toy cleaner; however, the Deep Water G can be sterilized in the dishwasher, by wiping it down with a 10% bleach solution, or by boiling it for 3 minutes.

POSITIVES:

This is a body-safe, sterilizable material that is extremely low maintenance. I love the textures on the Deep Water G, and the fact that it is dual ended for more varied use. 

NEGATIVES:

There are none!

PERSONAL COMMENTS:

It’s no secret that I am a glass lover, and the Deep Water G did not disappoint me in the least. Not only is it an absolutely gorgeous piece of art, but it is functional, too! The slight curve on the one side is beneficial when hunting for my g-spot, and the hardness of the glass guarantees plenty of pressure, if needed.
