This year is the perfect time to put a little extra time and effort into pleasing that special someone in your life. V-day is about more than just finding the perfect gift or planning a romantic date. Everyone knows that hot sex is the icing on the cake for a special Valentine’s Day to remember.

Need some ideas and inspiration? Keep reading for tips on creating the perfect V-Day that leaves you both begging for more.

Plan Ahead

Valentine’s Day requires a well-laid plan — especially during COVID when dining out or planning activities are difficult. The good news is, you don’t have to spend a fortune or even leave the house to make your Valentine’s Day rendezvous special. The key to creating a romantic experience at home is tailoring it to your partner’s personality and likes. Nothing’s sexier (or leads to hotter sex) than knowing your significant other really gets you.

This approach works for both new and old relationships. For young lovers, consider what you’ve learned about your partner so far. What turns them on and what do they enjoy doing? This is valuable information when planning a memorable V-Day night that’ll have them swooning. For married couples or those who’ve been together for years, what has your partner mentioned wanting to do more of? What’s a fond memory you share? What was the backdrop for the best sex you ever had? These are all great starts for planning a meaningful Valentine’s Day.

Some ideas to get you started include an outdoor picnic in the park, walks on the beach, watching the stars at night, or even lazy afternoons spent in bed. Anything goes as long as you pay attention to their needs and wants to create a day catered to all their favorite things.

Splurge on Something New

Valentine’s Day is a special occasion and deserves to be treated as such. What better time than now to invest in a new toy or naughty gift that brings you and your lover closer together? It’s a worthy investment if it means the potential for hot, steamy V-day sex!

Sexy lingerie is the perfect gift for the lady in your life. Ladies can also buy a seductive outfit in their partner’s favorite color, fabric, or style that’s sure to set their heart racing. Add a few drops of a sexy new fragrance to appeal to all of their senses. Go the extra mile by adding makeup, heels, and other fun accessories. Your significant other will surely appreciate the effort and get creative about showing their gratitude between the sheets. Speaking of sheets, why not purchase some silk or red-colored bedding? Add some candles or fresh flowers to the room as an added touch. When decorating for Valentine’s Day think sexy, seductive, and welcoming.

Valentine’s Day is also the perfect time to add a little something to your private toy collection if you have one (and you should). Keep things playful with some fun and flirty couple’s toys. Remote-controlled vibrating bullets and panties mean all-day foreplay! (More on this in a minute). Vibrating couple’s toys and cock rings deliver dual stimulation and increase the likelihood of sharing a mutual orgasm this V-Day. Bondage starter kits and role-playing costumes are perfect for kinky couples looking to take things to the next level.

Nothing says romance quite like a sensual massage. Indulge in massage oil that smells as good as it tastes. A head to toe massage with a happy ending is a great way to spend this V-Day!

Explore Both Your Favorite Fantasies

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to finally fulfill all those naughty fantasies you’ve been toying with. From role-playing to bondage and even voyeurism, now’s the time to make those fantasies a reality. Surprise your partner by bringing their favorite naughty fantasy to life. Come to bed dressed as a naughty nurse or school girl. Blindfold and handcuff them before making them your sex slave. Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to put your inhibitions aside and really go for it! Indulging in fantasies together will increase intimacy both in and out of the bedroom and create a deeper connection. You may also learn something new about your partner in the process.

Not sure what turns your lover on? Or perhaps you haven’t discussed fantasies yet. Strike up a conversation by creating a judgment-free zone where you can both divulge what excites you and what scenarios you find sexy. If you’re too shy to discuss it face-to-face, create lists and then swap them. Be honest about what you’re willing to try and which fantasies aren’t for you. Together, you can come up with some pretty hot and steamy scenarios that make you both comfortable and aroused!

Foreplay, Foreplay, Foreplay

There’s no better sex than the kind you’ve been anticipating all day long. Foreplay is a great way to create sexual tension and build-up that leads to you ripping one another’s clothes off in, “I can’t keep my hands off you” excitement.

Start your V-Day foreplay the minute you wake up. Send your partner off to work with a passionate, lingering kiss. Sneak naughty notes into their lunchbox or briefcase. Send a few racy photos or sext messages throughout the day. Detail what you want to be done to you and what you’re planning to do to them.

For couples spending the entire day together, be sure to have plenty of physical contact but keep it playful and innocent. Hold hands, whisper sweet nothings (and naughty tidbits) in their ear, or give their butt a little squeeze! Let them know how much you want them without giving in to your desires too soon.

Keep the foreplay going throughout the day and get ready for hot and steamy Valentine’s Day sex once you’re finally alone behind closed doors.

Romantic Depot vs Museum of Sex vs Babeland vs Pleasure Chest

Which is the best sex shop in New York City?

We’re searching the top sex shops in NYC, searching to find the best of the best. In this review we are lucky that we are reviewing so many options in one city. Many cities still have sex shops from the 70s that lack appeal to women, LGBTQ or couples.

Shopping for a sex toy in New York is largely informative, budget minded and great for couples communication. For this we consider all of the stores the best sex stores in America.

This review will look over several categories and will ultimately try to be objective and informative. In the end we chose one adult toy store as “Best of the Best” based on your choices.

Sex Toy Prices

Romantic Depot has all the luxury brands like Lelo, Magic Wand and what distinguishes Romantic Depot from the others is that they also have cheaper options of adult toys in the “Under $100” range to “Over $100” for their top lines of sex toys.

At around $30, lingerie is accessible for lower-income marginalized consumers or those who are on a budget which makes them a great option. Romantic Depot also gives all consumers 20% off vip lifetime discount cards, which aims to build a long relationship with customers.

Museum of Sex, Pleasure Chest and Babeland have the best quality items but their price ranges on their top vibrators range from $125 to $249.

Entrance fees? For a store…yep some have it. Romantic Depot, Babeland and Pleasure Chest are all free, Museum of Sex $20-$35

Prices are personal to your budget, we’ll leave this one up to you.

Your Choice Wins

Surprising Sex FAQs

84 percent of women have sex to get their guy to do more around the house. Source: Woman’s Day survey compiled by Sarah Jio in December, 2011

Sex Shop Privacy

Romantic Depot gives you thick black bags for your shopping convenience and discreet shopping and privacy so you can shop with discretion.

The other stores do not provide this service.

Romantic Depot Wins

LGBTQ And Couples Adult Toys

LGBTQ friendly luckily is an equal draw at all stores. NYC sex shops are open-minded and super friendly.

Museum of Sex could work a little harder on training employees, with less knowledge they might not know a butt plug from a strap on.

Everyone Wins

Sex Store Service

Romantic Depot gives you space to shop, a demonstration station to show you any toy you would like and usually cheerful, fun sales associates. The music can be loud at times but if you’re looking for a party, which you kinda are, that’s okay.

Babeland and the Pleasure Chest get the edge in knowledge and have an extremely intelligent sales staff but can be condescending at times pushing you towards toys regardless of price or your budget.

Museum of Sex sales associates are not trained on their products it feels like, and that tends to show in their enthusiasm.

No Clear Winner

Erotic Experience:

Babeland charges $20 for the classes, while Pleasure Chest and Romantic Depot classes are less. Are any of them free? Have to ask, it’s a product demonstration after all.

Museum of Sex wins but we were expecting to see much more for the $25 entrance fee.

Adult Store Hours:

Convenience And Accessibility

Romantic Depot is open until 12am Sunday through Wednesday and Friday, Saturday remains open till 1am to 2am. Why two closing times? Because they have 9 locations in the city.

Museum of Sex closes at 10pm

Babeland closes before midnight, three locations.

Pleasure Chest before midnight, two locations.

Romantic Depot has the longest hours and the most locations, including the most locations outside of Manhattan. Making them the only store for all of New York, NY

Sex Toy Store Reviews

What do the people who shop there think?

Well we have plenty of folks reactions that are available in both Google and Yelp reviews. First though researching the topic Out New York did a comparison piece awhile back. Heres how it described each store…

Babeland: At this friendly sex-toy boutique—run by women and skewed toward women—browsers are encouraged to handle all manner of buzzing, wriggling and bendable playthings, including the famed Rabbit Pearl vibrator. The shop also stocks a huge variety of condoms and hosts frank sex-ed classes on a variety of subjects. Readers rated it 3 of 5 stars

Romantic Depot: This store is three times bigger then other shops, including the Pleasure Chest, and it’s the largest sex toy store in NYC—and the only one in the Bronx. Its No. 1 seller is the Jackrabbit, but you’ll find 10 different variations of it within the shop’s massive inventory of items of the flesh. Rated 5 of 5 stars by readers

Pleasure Chest: A West Village institution since 1971, this sex-toy megastore opens a second NYC location. The 5,600-square-foot space has a boudoir feel, and stocks both luxury and budget gadgets ($15–$200), as well as books ($10–$30) and lingerie ($5–$150)…. Don’t leave without checking out the Sex Is Back campaign (sexisback.com) playing on iPads, featuring real videos of people overcoming shame and finding sex-positive fulfillment. Readers didn’t rate it at all.

Museum of Sex: MoSex’s recently overhauled gift shop is now twice the size (2,000 square feet) and double the pleasure. “We wanted the store to be a destination shop,” says creative director Mark Snyder. “We’re looking at products for their art, their design and their technology.” Such lofty merch includes the Dirty Flirty Novelty Company’s festive glass “pornaments” and Matteo Cibic’s functional fishbowl dildo. Readers failed to rate it at all.

That leaves Romantic Depot as the Timeout.com darling of sex stores.

Breaking down our reviews from Yelp and Google…

Romantic Depot Yelp: 5 of 5 stars Google: 5 stars Total: 10 Stars

Museum of Sex Yelp: 3 of 5 stars Google: 3.2 stars Total: 6.2 Stars

Babeland: Yelp: 4 of 5 stars Google: 4 stars Total: 8 Stars

Pleasure Chest: Yelp: 3 ½ of 5 stars Google: 4.3 stars Total: 7.8 Stars

Judging by these reviews on these two independent sites only one store was able to maintain a perfect rating.

10 of 10 stars for Romantic Depot, the People’s Choice of Sex Stores

Sex Toy Store Reviews outweigh anything in this review or any other store’s articles. The people have spoken and they consistently have said the winner is:

Best Sex Toy Store In NYC: Romantic Depot

How to Connect with Women Easily- 7 Essential Tips

How to Connect with Women Easily- 7 Essential Tips

You’re all too familiar with the struggle of striking up a conversation with a beautiful woman. You stutter and trip over your words as you’re mentally reviewing all the ways she might be judging you.

But it doesn’t have to be like this, even if the mere thought of talking to a girl you’re interested in fills you with dread. Fortunately, there are some simple guidelines you can follow that will make your face-reddening mistakes in this area a thing of the past.

1. Remember that She’s a Person

This may sound painfully obvious, but many men think of females as an entirely different species, and it causes them to freeze up when they attempt to speak to one. No matter how attractive the object of your interest is, it pays to remember that she’s a person just like you. Remember that she has her fair share of fears and embarrassing experiences, too. This can help humanize her in your mind and ease some of your anxiety.

2. Internalize Your Self-Worth

If you make a habit of starting conversations with attractive women, you’re going to get rejected sometimes. So, it’s important to maintain an attitude of outcome independence, meaning you don’t let your self-worth depend on someone’s reaction to you. People can sense desperation, and it’s never attractive. Work on your confidence, and you’ll find it much easier to approach women.

3. Avoid Cheesy Lines

A lot of girls put their guard up automatically when a guy approaches because they’re so used to hearing ridiculous (or worse, creepy) pick-up lines. You’ll stand out a lot more in her mind if you offer something different. Walk up to her with the intention of adding value to her day instead of trying to get something from her.

4. Ask Her About Herself

One quick way to bore someone to tears is to drone on and on about yourself and forget to have a dialogue, rather than a monologue. People generally enjoy answering questions about themselves, so remember that next time you see a gorgeous dame you’d like to woo. Avoid the same old tired questions everyone else asks (“So, what do you do?”) and instead, try to reach a bit deeper. “What are you most excited about right now?” is a good starting point.

5. Avoid Yes/No Questions

Questions that can be answered with one word are a conversation killer. Even if someone wants to continue talking with you, yes/no questions make it very difficult. Instead, think up some open-ended questions you can ask the woman you’re speaking with, like “What’s the most memorable thing that happened to you this week?” or “Which country would you most like to visit?”

6. Pay Attention to Personal Space

If you’re talking to an attractive lady, chances are, she’s used to guys invading her personal space. Don’t be one of those guys! Stay mindful of how close you’re standing when you speak to her and try to avoid asking questions that are too personal. Keep a polite, interested, but respectfully distant approach, and she’s much likelier to feel comfortable in your presence.

7. Notice Her Cues

You can’t win them all, so it’s essential that you know when to cut your losses. Pay attention to the signals a girl is sending you when you speak with her. Is she looking around, giving short answers to your questions, or turning down your attempts to meet her later without offering an alternative? These are all signs that she’s not into you. It may hurt, but it’s best to be real with yourself and move on when necessary.

Talking to beautiful women doesn’t have to be a struggle. Like anything else, it will get easier the more you practice. Remember that she’s a person just like anyone else. Keep a confident perspective, and you’ll do just fine.

How to spice up your sex life

November 22, 2019

How to spice up your sex life before you get to the bedroom

Every aspect of your relationship is as unique as the two individuals involved. Your communication, likes, dislikes, relatives and sex are completely unique to the two of you. This is a very important consideration when it comes to the point where you want to spice up your sex life. To rekindle the fire in your bedroom therefore requires an understanding of each others personality, an honest assessment of the relationship you have and your current circumstances. Failing to address these three core aspects will only result in short term changes in the sex department regardless of how much kink you bring into the bedroom.

It has been said that the mind is the most powerful sex organ. Those who appreciate this fact have achieved the highest levels of sexual satisfaction. You therefore need to start with your mind when looking to spice up your sex life. Once that is covered, you are well on your way to what others consider a fairy tale bedroom story. Once you are in the right frame of mind there are a number of things you can do to turn the little sparks that have been in your bedroom into a raging sexual fire.

1. Begin with yourself

While most of the tips on how to spice up your sex life tell you what you can do for your partner, these can only succeed after you have taken care of you. For you to successfully spice things up, you need to focus on what makes you feel sexy. This calls for you to have a sexy state of mind, a sexy state of dress or undress, a sexy environment and a sexy anything else you want. You are fifty percent of the sexual relationship you are working on and that means you are half the solution that is needed to make a difference.

2. Be assertive

You need to occasionally take charge of things in the sex department. It not only communicates the fact that you are very involved in what is going on, but it also serves as an educative session on things you enjoy doing and being done to you. This is not only in regards to the sexual activities themselves but also has to do with the various other aspects. Ask your partner to dress up in a way that you find sexually attractive, choose where and when to have sex and include the things that are fun and kinky for you. Taking control of your sexual experiences will often result in greater satisfaction for you which in turn makes you more willing to give your partner a similar level of satisfaction.

3. Break the rules and the routine

Rules and routine are the worst excitement killers. If you know what will happen before it starts, there is no way you can get excited about it. Throwing in sexy surprises is a sure way of firing up your sex life. There is always a thrill in doing something that you would not do under normal circumstances. Depending on how far the two of you are willing to go, a few broken rules will go a long way towards making things a lot more interesting for you and your partner. You do not have to go all the way but a few intimate moments can be a great build up towards an awesome sexual encounter. The more creative you can get with your surprises, the better things are going to be.

4. Make sex a priority

With a busy personal, professional and family life, sex can easily become something you do when there is time and energy left after everything else has been done. Prioritizing sex is one of the most important things when you are working to spice up your sex life. It means making time for sex, actively thinking of ways to make it better and ensuring that you are energetic and enthusiastic when going into it.

5. Work on your relationship

While sex is a big part of your relationship, it is not everything in your relationship. Just as problems with sex affect your relationship, problems in your relationship are bound to affect your sex. If you are constantly working to improve your relationship you will in many ways be working on improving your sex life.

Having covered these fundamental areas, you can then go into the more instant solutions such as shopping for sexy clothing, experimenting with toys and role playing, acting out fantasies and other such things. Combining both the long term and instant solutions is the best way to spice up your sex life.

The Health Benefits of Sex

November 7, 2019

Doing Your Body Good:

The Health Benefits of Sex

By J. A. Young

The term sex, especially in the media, conjures up many images, but seldom is this basic human act discussed in terms of health and fitness. Often sex is often discussed in the news as something lurid or a dangerous activity that people must take precautions for or abstain from. Of course, there are many aspects of this human activity, but it’s important to understand the physical positive that sex brings to your body. The following text highlights the health benefits of sex.

7 Inch Dildo

8 Inch Dildo

9 Inch Dildo

The most basic and, perhaps, the most obvious benefit of sex is the exercise factor. Burning calories in bed is a great way to shed pounds. Thirty minutes of sex can help you burn more than eighty calories. An extremely vigorous session might even allow you to burn up two hundred calories. It takes 3,500 burnt calories to shed one pound, but those eighty minutes sessions add up. And, the exercise component of sex is good for your cardiovascular health too. Some scientific research suggests that men who have sex two times of more during the week can cut their risk of a deadly heart attack in half.

Got a headache? Having a headache is no excuse to refrain from sex. In fact, a bout of sex can actually cure headache pain or relieve the stress causing your headache. It has been reported in medical journals that sex does relieve stress and can lower blood pressure. Sex is also a natural way to reduce pain. During sex, the hormone oxytocin spikes and pain levels drop. Don’t be surprised if you’ve forgotten all about that headache pain after a bout of sex.

A surge of oxytocin is also a great benefit for people suffering from insomnia. The higher oxytocin level in the body is associated with good sleep. Getting adequate sleep on a regular basis is necessary to maintain optimum health. Sex is, therefore, linked to regular sleep patterns. The relaxation element after sex is a natural way for typically highly motivated people to calm down after a long day.

A healthy sex life is also linked to a healthier immune system. Doing it only once or twice a week can actually help you ward off infections like the common cold by boosting your body’s levels of antibodies. These findings have been backed by medical studies and are great news for people who enjoy sex.

Regular ejaculation has been linked to a reduced instance of prostate cancer in men. This is an important benefit of sex that is supported by the scientific community. As the body makes semen, it concentrates levels of zinc, potassium, and citric acid and ejects them from the body. If cancer cells are present, they, as well, are concentrated and released from the body. Consequently, regular ejaculation of semen can be a way of ridding the male’s body of some unwanted elements.

In some scenarios this would be a controversial behavior, but having sex without a condom has actually been linked to depression reduction in women. A crazy benefit it may be, but a study in 2002 suggested that a hormone within semen is absorbed by the female and acts as a modulating or regulating substance. Sex without condoms has been shown to help keep a woman’s hormones balanced and her depression in check. Because of the increased risks of having sex without a condom for many, this benefit is generally left unsaid, but the benefit remains and those who are able to forgo the condom may see happy results.

Of course, a healthy sex life can lead to a feeling self-confidence and happiness for both men and women. Feeling good emotionally can lead to greater health benefits. A poor sex life or no sex life can trigger depression or contribute to a person’s negative sense of self. A fulfilling sex life can play a key role in the good health of a steady relationship and the mutual good feeling can help sustain the other health benefits of sex.

Another weird health benefit of an overtly sexual act can improve your smile. That is, teeth have been shown to benefit from semen. Minerals, zinc, and calcium within semen can reduce tooth decay. A healthy set of teeth is just one more benefit that intimacy can safeguard.

And finally, it might not seem like much, but sex can even benefit a person’s sense of smell. Sex causes prolactin levels to rise in the body. Prolactin is a hormone. This surge is associated with increased stem cell development in the brain. The newly created neurons benefit the brain’s olfactory center making you a better sniffer.

Regular intimacy—cuddling, hugging, touching—along with intercourse can promote mutual healing and provide many health benefits. The fact that intimacy feels good is good for your health. Science has demonstrated that the sense of touch is important to maintain good health. Of course, it is important to take precautions—dangerous sexually-related infections and disease can cancel out the great health benefits of sex. But, as humans are sexual creatures, it should be no surprise that sex (after all risk factors are protected against) is really good for you.
