Oh, you haven’t heard? The newest classification of relationship culture has arrived and it was even listed as one of the top four words of 2023 by the Oxford University Press. Nestled at the top of the list, alongside 'Rizz' and 'Swiftie,' sits 'Situationship.' It’s defined as “a romantic or sexual relationship that is not considered to be formal or established.”
But what does it mean in the real world? With the continued growth of online dating, the situationship takes its place in that murky in-between hookup, friends with bennies, and a full-on relationship.
Some might rue this ambiguous stage; some might revel in it. Regardless, the term and concept are so in vogue that Smarties even rolled out their newest campaign unveiling their misprinted candy hearts, you know, as a metaphor for “mixed messages” and “blurred lines.” Genius.
Before we get into this list, I want to make sure it’s clear: As long as you and your situationship are happy with this arrangement — by all means! Many people find this an excellent and flexible form of dating and should be celebrated as such. However, the murkiness of boundaries and lack of communication that can sometimes accompany a situationship can leave some feeling unheard, unappreciated, and undervalued — which is never cool.
So, are you in a situationship? Let’s find out.
1. You don’t talk about the future
You both are flying by the seat of your pants. Last-minute texts to meet up, spontaneous “date” ideas, and zero planning ahead. You never talk about things like “heading to the beach for the 4th of July” or holiday plans together because those things are more than a week ahead, and that’s just not your style.
2. You’re flakier than a baked biscuit
Your plans, when made, are far from sacred. You might send that “sorry something came up” text 45 minutes before your date, or even ghost them entirely, but you’re not afraid to cancel last minute on your situationship and visa versa.
3. You haven’t had “The Talk”
It’s sort of an unspoken agreement if you’ve been seeing each other for a while and haven’t communicated about a progression of your relationship that you inevitably have The Talk. You know, the one where you ask questions like “So what are we?” or “I’d like to see other people” or “Can we be exclusive?” — in a situationship you don’t even broach those questions because, truthfully, you’d rather not know.
4. You haven’t labeled what you are to each other
You are allergic to labels and even cringe at the idea of classifying this as a situationship. But you know you’re not in the one-and-done hookup territory, and you’re not quite friends with benefits. You might be in a huge life stage where dating someone longterm is just not an option.
5. You don’t talk every day — or every week, for that matter
You can go days, weeks, hell, even months without texting and meeting up. Haven’t texted back? No biggie. Perhaps your situationship lives in another city, and you only meet up when they’re in town. That’s chill. A situationship is more about the present moment and convenience.
6. You keep your hobbies, friends, and personal details to yourself
Aside from name and occupation, you know little about your situationship’s life outside of your dates and hookups. You might gather little breadcrumbs that make up their life like that stacks of books that are on their nightstand, or that they are allergic to shellfish, or that they stock their fridge with enough bagged spinach to feed a platoon, but anything else? Anything more personal? You don’t really bother asking or sharing.
7. You don’t post about them on your socials
You keep your situationship off your social media profiles and don't necessarily acknowledge their presence in your life on social media. You haven’t had a “soft launch,” let alone a “hard launch” yet, and you’re in no rush to do so. You might catch a glimpse of someone’s shadow at the edge of an Instagram story or their laugh in the background of a video, but other than that, they are but a ghost on your socials, and you like it that way!
While situationships can offer flexibility and excitement, it's vital to recognize whether they truly align with all party’s desires and expectations. Open communication and understanding each other's boundaries are essential for any successful relationship, whether it's a situationship or something more formal.
Do you think you could be in a situationship? Do you enjoy this arrangement? Let us know!

Welcome to the inaugural chapter of our blog series, "Exploring the Erotic", as we celebrate Women's History Month and embark on a captivating, albeit snapshot journey through the intriguing history of dildos spanning civilizations and centuries!
Ancient Origins
Mesopotamia: Mesopotamia, hailed as one of humanity's earliest cradles of civilization, offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient attitudes towards sexuality and fertility. While direct evidence of dildos is scarce, the complex cultural landscape suggests a possible existence of phallic objects intertwined with notions of sensuality and reproduction.
Stone Ages: Did you know that the oldest known dildo, crafted from siltstone, dates back to 30,000 years? Unearthed in a German cave, this polished artifact mystified archaeologists, hinting at its intriguing role in early human intimacy and pleasure.
Ancient Greece: Journeying to ancient Greece, we encounter the enigmatic "olisbokollikes" – dildo-like breadsticks lubricated with olive oil for indulgent sensory exploration. Despite societal norms dictating the boundaries of empowerment, these objects whispered tales of liberation and desire.
Eastern Insights
Ancient India: Venturing into the realm of ancient Indian wisdom, the notable Kama Sutra emerges as a timeless beacon of emotional and sexual fulfillment. Revered for its profound insights into eroticism and relationships, it stands as a testament to humanity's enduring quest for intimacy.
China: Delving into the archives of Chinese culture, we encounter the Taoist masterpiece The Art of the Bedchamber, a treasure trove of sexual techniques and pleasure enhancement. While dildos may not be explicitly mentioned, the ancient Chinese likely indulged in various methods of sensual exploration.
Cultural Expressions
Pre-Columbian Americas: In the lush landscapes of the pre-Columbian Americas, indigenous cultures celebrated a diverse tapestry of sexual expression. From the intricate Moche pottery of Peru to the rhythmic beats of tribal rituals, phallic imagery suggests a profound reverence for intimacy and pleasure.
Rome: The Roman Empire’s complexity of sexual expression unveils a world adorned with phallic symbolism and artifacts like the fascinum – protective amulets shaped in the likeness of the male organ. While direct evidence of dildos may evade us, Roman culture's embrace of sensuality hints at deeper explorations of pleasure.
Historical Intrigue
Europe, 16th - 18th Century: Traversing the corridors of European history, we encounter the clandestine allure of dildos amidst legal scrutiny and social taboos. Despite the shadows cast by prohibition, these objects persisted, whispering tales of clandestine pleasures.
Japan, 17th - 18th Century: In the Land of the Rising Sun, the art of shunga flourished – an exquisite tapestry of eroticism depicting the ecstasy of human desire. Despite censorship, shunga's allure persisted in clandestine whispers, igniting flames of passion in the hearts of its admirers.
Modern Innovations
18th - 19th Century: The dawn of the modern era heralded the birth of the vibrator, a revolutionary invention designed to soothe the weary hands of physicians and ignite flames of pleasure in the hearts of enthusiasts. From its humble beginnings as a table-mounted contraption to its portable form, vibrators promised relief, pleasure, and even beauty enhancement.

Hey babes, whether you're experiencing your moon cycle or around someone who is, get ready for a playful dive into the world of self-love during that time of the month. We're breaking the stigma, tossing aside the awkwardness, and celebrating the joys of getting to know yourself a little better.
The stigma around blood, menstruation, and periods is so tiring. It's very natural and beautiful to have this function and being with your body during this time can sometimes be difficult, especially if you have a more challenging or painful cycle. Instead of shying away from it, why not turn it into a time of rest, self-discovery, and pleasure?

The stigma around blood, menstruation, and periods is so tiring. It's very natural and beautiful to have this function and being with your body during this time can sometimes be difficult, especially if you have a more challenging or painful cycle. Instead of shying away from it, why not turn it into a time of rest, self-discovery, and pleasure?
Here are some tips on why masturbating during your period can be amazing and awakening:
Menstrual Discomfort Relief
First on the list – let’s talk about those uncomfortable moments during your cycle. Many of us can feel pain and discomfort from cramping to headaches. Orgasms actually increase blood flow and can ease those discomforts way faster and sometimes more efficiently than pain relievers. Pleasure is a great natural alternative.
Enhanced Sensations
During your period, your body might feel a bit more sensitive, perhaps even a bit swollen. This means extra stimulation, and embracing that can feel so great. The combination of heightened sensitivity and hormonal magic can lead to longer, stronger moments of pleasure. It's like your body is giving you a standing ovation!
Self-Confidence Booster
We already know our hormones are on a wave during our periods. Releasing those feel-good endorphins and dopamine into the bloodstream does wonders. Not only are you treating yourself to pleasure, but you're also boosting your self-confidence. Creating a pattern of self-love allows you to cultivate a tool that is unique to you. Confidence? Check
Easier Sleep Induction
All the endorphin release helps you to get to rest faster. If you’re like me, you may be less inclined to work out or be active during your period, and this is a great way to let go of energy. I love taking a nice bath, laying down a towel, and giving myself time to play to get ready for bed. Trust me, it's like taking a double dose of melatonin. Lol.
Self-Care and Body Awareness
In the age of stress and uncertainty, self-care is a tool we can all access and cultivate. Exploring your body during different phases of your cycle enhances your body awareness. I tend to meditate during my play time or use deep breathing to enhance the deepness of my play and release stress. Another thing I do is play with partners, allowing them to watch or use a toy with me as another way to connect. Finding comfort in self-love can be a great act of self-care and one that we can share with those we trust.
Here are a few reminders to keep things safe while being sensual:
· Tampons and Playtime Don't Mix: Steer clear of tampons during playtime to avoid any potential risks or infections.
· Clean Hands, Clean Toys: Sanitize your hands and toys before and after the grand finale. Warm water and soap work just fine but this can ensure no additional irritations during your period.
· Exploring with Discs and Cups: If you're interested in a bit less of a mess you can try exploring with a flex disc or menstrual cup. Just don't forget the lube – it works wonders!
Speaking from experience, I've been embracing self-love during my cycle for a while now and let me tell you – it has been a game-changer. Not only has it eased any discomfort, but it's also turned me into a more centered and confident individual. I am way less irritable during my period after years of this practice. Plus, it's paved the way for feeling more comfortable about intimate moments during my period.
Let's celebrate our bodies and embrace the pleasure that comes with it. I encourage you to try this even just once to see if any of the benefits can help you too. Happy playing and remember to be kind with yourself.

]]>The other day I passed a pile of mistletoe bundles in a plant shop and was amazed by how humble this powerful bundle of leaves has become. In case you’ve never experienced the gesture of finding someone else under a bundle and going in for a kiss, the plant has found itself a primetime spot in christmas pop culture. The mistletoe beckons intimacy, but where does its kisstory come from? Let’s dive in.
Mistletoe is a semi-parasitic plant that produces small, white berries. It grows almost exclusively in trees. As its seed begins to grow into a plant, it attaches itself to a host tree to have access to water and essential nutrients. The origins of the name itself are derived from two Anglo Saxon words “Mistel” meaning dung and “Tan” meaning stick or branch. Mistletoe also possess sticky white berries which explode, so this isn’t even a subtle likeness. In Pagan and Celtic mythology, the plant is explicitly linked with semen. The Greek name for it translates as “oak sperm”, and they used it to cure many ailments like menstrual cramps or spleen disorders, for epilepsy and ulcers. This plant has been believed to be a powerful species for a long time.
Consensus among experts is that the use of Mistletoe in ritual form started with the Celtic Druids (what is now Ireland and Scotland). The Mistletoe became a sacred symbol of vivacity and fertility to them after they observed it blooming on trees during the harsh winters. The Mistletoe would later become the central focus of the “Ritual of Oak and Mistletoe”, a ceremony which led the Romans to call the Druids “barbarians”.
In the Middle Ages, a custom began in Britain known as the “kissing bough”, which was a tree trimming positioned above a doorway where visitors could embrace. The modern Mistletoe is a close memory of this gesture, and albeit often a plastic version, but the idea remains the same.
Because the history of the Mistletoe has been so ambiguous to trace, we’re all about creating new rituals. Why not hang a Willy and invite your partner for something more?

The seasons are changing and the temperatures dropings, and it’s time to turn up the heat inside. We've come up with these aphrodisiac-inspired recipes to help keep things steamy this Fall. Your taste buds won't be the only thing aroused with these foodie favorites.
Add these aphrodisiacs to your grocery list for a good time!
Here are some of the most common known aphrodisiacs:
Oysters
Chocolate
Strawberries
Figs
Asparagus
Artichoke
Chili Peppers
Saffron
Basil
Ginger
What are aphrodisiacs?
Aphrodisiacs (a word that stems from the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite) are foods that lead to an increase in desire. Whether that comes from certain “feel good” compounds like the capsaicin found in spicy foods that stimulate blood flow, or foods like oysters and figs that simply resemble more intimate body parts, aphrodisiacs are a way to ignite that passion in the bedroom with what’s cooking in the kitchen.
Vibey recipes to leve up your home game:
Oysters have always been considered an aphrodisiac due to their overall sexual nature and resemblence to more ~intimate~ body parts, but more recently, they have been found to contain an amino acid that increases sex hormone levels. If you’re looking for an intimate dinner recipe that is sure to get you and your partner aroused at the table, oysters are it. Pair with a sparkling rose to really get your taste buds stimulated.
Due to the sexual appearance and texture, figs are a classic aphrodisiac food that will add a sensual bite to any dish. Paired with roasted chicken and port, this portuguese-inspired dish is sure to warm things up on a cool fall night.
Containing capsaicin, a chemical known to increase libido, chile peppers are a perfect aphrodisiac to get your heart pumping. Incorporated into a Thai curry, this is a great dish to keep things red hot.
Saffron has been used as an aphrodisiac since ancient times to increase libido and lubrication, and combat erectile dysfunction. Used in a deliciously creamy and comforting risotto, this recipe is sure to awaken the passion.
Chocolate contains euphoric and sexually stimulanting properties which makes it one of the more common aphrodisiac foods. Paired with spices, this chocolate fondue is a great way to connect with your partner while keeping things steaming hot. Incorporate other aphrodisiacs like strawberries and candied ginger when choosing what to dip into your fondue.

90’s witchy grunge core
Items to look for: earthy tones, 90’s accessories, crochet, crystals
You’re telling us that your closet doesn’t look like it’s been plucked out of 1997? You’re telling us you have NO grungy girl tops and slip dresses somewhere in your wardrobe? Lies. This might be one of the easiest costumes to pull off this Halloween, you know since the 90s are BACK. This movie has so many iconic looks, from Sally’s baby tees and cardigans, to Gillian’s velvet slip dresses, any look from this movie could be easily pulled from the racks of just about any store you walk into these days. That paired with the witchy/moody vibes? Perfection.
Barbie
Pink Everything
Items to look for: pink, sequins, pastels, jumpsuit, dresses, did I say pink?
Obviously, (obviously) Barbie had a moment this year but could you have imagined just HOW many iconic looks would be plastered across the big screen? The best part about emulating this movie is that you can go in ANY direction with it. I believe pink is a key color to wear but get creative with what you have at home. Bonus: you get to walk around chirping “👋Hi Barbie” to every other pink clad beauty you come across.
Daisy Jones & The Six
70’s rocker/coastal boho
Items to look for: twirly shawls, denim, bold accessories
Summon your inner Stevie Nicks and grab that billowing shawl that’s been collecting dust, it’s time to twirl. The thing about this movie is that every single character is serving looks, so whether you’re on your own or have a couple friends who need a group costume, this is the perfect movie to pull inspo from. Grab your coastal boho shawls, cut off jeans, aviators, and silver jewelry and you’re set.
Taylor Swift Eras
Pop star aesthetic
Items to look for: sequins, cottage core, bodysuits, capes, gowns
Swifties, assemble! Taking a page from Miss Blondie’s book, you too can make the whole place “shimmer”. Not only are there 10 albums to choose from, but an entire tour reimagining her eras with infinity costume ideas. You could throw it back to her country roots in cowboy boots and butterfly motifs, or shift to the glitzy pop glam of 1989 with sequins and retro vibes — or embrace the sad girl aestheic of Folklore and Evermore. Whether you want to be the bell of the ball or keep it a little tame, there are surely a myriad of Swift-inspired styles right in your wardrobe.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance
Futuristic cowboy
Items to look for: anything silver, sparkles, sequins, mirrors, sheer mesh
We couldn’t mention Taylor Swift and NOT mention the another icon absolutely keeping the economy afloat. Ladies, do your backs hurt from holding the entire economy on your shoulders?? Scan your closet for anything that shines, refracts light, is metallic, these looks are all about futuristic space cowboy vibes and wacky sillouettes. Think Zenon, think bedazzlement, and opulence. Think….BEYONCÉ.
No need to splurge on a brand-new costume or rush to amazon 2-day shipping when you have a treasure trove of potential outfits waiting in your wardrobe. Your closet is full of possibilities. With a bit of imagination and inspiration from these muses, you're set. Dive in, mix and match, and most importantly, have fun.
Happy Halloween!
]]>As the temperature drops and the nights grow longer, what better time to discover new ways to connect with your partner at home? While cozying up with a warm blanket and a movie is always a great option to fall back on, why not try something with a little more heat? Here’s a selection of fun (and sexy) indoor activities designed to strengthen your connection, foster intimacy, and provide an extra boost of quality time — perfect for those chilly nights when you want to spice things up and not just fall back into co-scrolling on TikTok.
🧩 Sexy Boudoir Puzzle
Puzzles might seem a bit old-fashioned, but hear us out: a customizable boudoir puzzle with your own photo as the centerpiece. There are many shops online that ship custom puzzles right to your door. As you piece it together, you'll enjoy the hands-on process and revel in the spicy photo once it’s done. As a bonus, take some of the saucier pieces and save them for the end to reveal the final piece. We love a good ‘aha!’ moment.
🫦 Intimacy Questions
Write down questions geared towards getting you and your partner closer, ranging from innocuous and innocent to all-out spicy. Put them in a hat and take turns picking them out and answering. The internet is FULL of lists you can draw inspo from — don’t be afraid to source a few if you’re getting stuck. It’s a way to break down walls that may have held you back from meaningful conversations, keeping communication open and honest.
🍆 DIY Molding Kits
Of course, we have to mention Clone-A-Willy and Clone-A-Pussy kits — how could we not? We might be biased, but making exact replicas of your fave body parts is the perfect sexy activity to do together on a cozy night in. The DIY molding process can be a new and sometimes intimidating experience but each kit comes with how-to guides and easy-to-follow instructions. Your parts are art!
🎨 Unleash Your Inner Artist
Speaking of art, get artsy and playful by painting each other's bodies. Replace the canvas with your partner's bare skin — but be sure to use body-safe, non-toxic paint for this creative activity. It’s a fun and colorful way to explore your partner's body in a new light.
💦 Sweat Together
Physical activity can be a fantastic way to boost endorphins, creating a sense of closeness by adding an extra va va voom to your evening. Consider trying an online yoga class, which can help you connect on a deeper level as you synchronize your movements and breathe together. Or if you really want to sweat, choose a high-intensity workout and challenge each other to push your limits. After the workout, maybe treat yourselves to a soothing bubble bath or steamy shower. Not a requirement, just a thought 😏
🌶️ Get Cookin’
Why not bust out that handy list of autumn aphrodisiac foods and get to cooking? Choose dishes featuring seasonally appropriate ingredients that are perfect for setting the mood. Throw on some sexy music, pour a glass of wine, light a few candles, and enjoy the fun of getting hands-on as you prepare something yummy and satisfying.
🤓 Read Together
Okay, this one is for those who want to live their Allie and Noah Notebook fantasy. Select a book or series that both of you are eager to read (or choose some steamier reads to provide some inspiration), and spend the evening reading together. Create a cozy reading nook with comfortable seating and soft blankets, and take turns reading to each other.
Here are a handful of sexy reads to consider:
Xeni by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly
Neon Gods by Katee Robert
Saint by Sierra Simone
(Should we do a comprehensive steamy reading list next? All in favor; raise your hand in the comments below 🙋)
These activities are more than just ways to fill the time; they're opportunities to invest in the quality time you spend with your partner and maybe add a little spark to a pretty downright dreary time of year. These cozy indoor activities are made to bring you closer, making those chilly evenings something to look forward to rather than muddle through.
Cozy up and have fun! 😘

Need a go-to witchy classic to satisfy all of your spooky-season cravings? This flick truly has it all – love, drama, a séance, tequila…and Nicole Kidman. One in grief and the other fleeing a hot summer romance gone bad, two sisters reunite in the house they grew up in—a witchy Victorian mansion in New England. Raised in a small town by their aunts who practice witchcraft, the whole town is against them, but nothing can break the bond of sisterhood—especially when one of them gets possessed by the demon of their former lover. This is one you’ll be rewatching for years to come.
The Witches of Eastwick (1987)
Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfieffer, and Cher—oh my! In this twisted love-triangle cult-classic, three small-town women who have given up on love get simultaneously swept up by the psychotic charms of Jack Nicholson. Though they could not be more different, they are brought together by the powers they form together, the confidence they find in sisterhood, and the strongest force sure to bind together any group of women—getting back at the same man.
The Craft (1996)
It’s always weird to be the new girl in school, especially when you get taken in by a group of witches. In need of one more witch to complete their circle, three spell-casting goths will stop at nothing when they learn that the new girl in school has the powers to be their fourth. Take a wild ride through 90’s fashion and Fairuza Balk’s unparalleled hunger for power to discover what happens when four high school girls are suddenly given the witchy powers to make anything happen…
The Love Witch (2016)
There’s nothing like being a single Wiccan in 1960s California with an insatiable desire for unavailable men. Elaine is a hopeless romantic, fueled by both her passion for love and the power of seduction. This sexy psychedelic low-budget horror flick will take you down a dark and twisted road of mysterious potions, cult gatherings under the moonlight, men going mad under the spell of feminine energy, and witchy burlesque–all served with a twist of feminism. Do not miss out on this gem.
Heathers (1988)
F*ck me gently with a chainsaw…this fever-dream of a cult-classic features a young and incessantly moody Winona Ryder who joins a clique of the most popular girls in school—who are all coincidentally named Heather. Blinded by the thrills of popularity, she soon realizes the trap she has walked into…until she meets a deviously handsome but probably sociopathic Christian Slater, who becomes enthralled in freeing her from her Heather prison. Take a deep dive this spooky season in a world of evil blondes, plaid skirts, step-ford parents, and maniacal croquette.

]]>Autumn besties, rise. It’s our turn to shine. There’s something in the air. It’s almost the first day of fall, and we’re getting ready to bust out the sweaters, turn on Practical Magic, and light up those cozy candles. FALL is here, and with that comes all the delicious autumnal flavors to spice up your evenings and set the mood.
While the science behind aphrodisiacs can be subjective, and the effects of consuming these foods vary from person to person, here are some fall flavors and ingredients that have been associated with heightened sensuality and mood-boosting properties:
Cinnamon
The warm and spicy aroma of cinnamon is often linked to passion and sensuality. It’s known to promote blood flow, specifically in your abdominal area *wink wink*. Sprinkle it on various dishes, from hot beverages like mulled wine to desserts!
Nutmeg
While its aromatic and slightly sweet flavor is believed to stimulate the senses, nutmeg’s primary active ingredient is myristicin, which has been linked to increasing dopamine levels. Its sweet and savory flavor is commonly used in fall dishes such as pumpkin pie, eggnog, and spiced cider.
Ginger
Ginger has a spicy and invigorating flavor that has been known to increase circulation and energy and reduce stress. It can be used in fall baking, smoothies, and teas or added to savory dishes for a kick.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin is the quintessential fall staple and is rich in vitamins and minerals that can boost energy levels. Pumpkin pie and pumpkin spiced treats are popular choices, but you can also incorporate them into yummy pasta and soup recipes.
Honey
Honey has been regarded as a natural sweetener with aphrodisiac qualities for centuries. It can be drizzled over desserts (or appendages 😉) and can also be incorporated into MANY recipes to add a touch of sweetness.
Vanilla
Aw yes, vanilla. The sweet and comforting scent wafting through every Bath & Body Works growing up. Vanilla is considered one of the most “attractive” and “comforting” scents, but when consumed, it can also boost libido and regulate your heart rate — boosting blood flow.
Allspice
Allspice offers a blend of flavors reminiscent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. It’s been known to enhance sexual potency and as a natural treatment of sexual dysfunction. It's used in many fall recipes like spiced apple cider and pies.
Chocolate
While chocolate is not exclusive to fall, it can be used creatively in fall-themed desserts and beverages. Dark chocolate, in particular, is associated with increased pleasure and mood enhancement.
Now that you have a handful of aphrodisiac flavors to stock your pantry, here are a few ways to pull some of them together to create fun, flavorful, and sensual treats.
🍎Honey Roasted Apples
Apples, an autumn staple, have long been associated with love and desire but did you know they are also considered an aphrodisiac? Apples contain polyphenols and antioxidants that can help kickstart blood flow, which can be linked to arousal. When paired with the luscious sweetness of honey, they create a delightfully easy treat that can set the stage for a fun night. Bonus points for the smell of cinnamon and apples wafting through your space. YUM.
Ingredients:
4 ripe apples (choose your favorite variety)
2 tablespoons of pure honey
A sprinkle of ground cinnamon
Optional: Add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side
Preheat oven to 400°
Slice the apples into thin wedges and place on a baking dish. Drizzle honey over the apple slices.
Dust with ground cinnamon, adding a hint of warmth. Cook for 20-30 minutes until apples can be easily pierced with a fork.
For an extra layer of indulgence, add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
☕Pumpkin Spice Latte
I know I know. You can’t escape the clutches of the infamous PSL. Forget the sugary syrups though; we're going for real pumpkin puree, sensual spices, and a touch of maple syrup to sweeten it up. Here’s an easy after-dinner treat to boost your energy while also setting the perfect mood for some romance.
Ingredients:
2 shots espresso (or 1/2 cup hot freshly brewed coffee)
1 cup milk of choice, preferably a milk that froths well (oat milk works best but almond is a great alt)
3 tablespoons of 100% pumpkin puree
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (a premade blend of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and allspice)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream and cinnamon for topping (optional but highly recommended)
Heat your milk until it's hot but not boiling — careful it goes quick!
Mix your espresso (or fresh brewed coffee) with pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla.
Froth up that milk until it's foamy. If you don’t have a frother at home, whisking works! You want the texture to be smooth, not bubbly. Pour milk over the pumpkin espresso mix.
Top with whipped cream if you're feeling fancy and sprinkle some cinnamon on top for a finishing touch. Sip and savor.
🍫Chocolate Crème Brulée
Chocolate and vanilla. Pure indulgence. While the average home cook/baker might be a little intimidated by this recipe, have no fear. Here’s an easy step-by-step guide to get the perfect chocolatey custard with sugary crunch on top.
Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Additional granulated sugar for caramelizing
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Get four ramekins all snug in a baking dish.
Heat the heavy cream (but don't let it boil), and then take it off the heat.
Mix the hot cream with the chopped chocolate, and watch it melt into creamy chocolatey goodness. Give it a moment to cool down a bit.
In another bowl, throw together the yolks, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Whisk!
Now, slowly introduce your chocolate-cream concoction to the yolks, stirring as you go.
Strain the mix into a measuring cup to keep it smooth and lump-free.
Divide equally into your ramekins.
Slide that baking dish into your preheated oven and carefully fill it with hot water until your ramekins are submerged halfway.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes, just until the edges are set but the custard's still got a little jiggle.
Take your ramekins out, let them chill to room temperature, and then pop in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
When you're ready to dazzle, sprinkle a bit of sugar on top of each custard.
Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it's golden brown and crispy. Don’t have a torch? Me neither — you can place the ramekins under a broiler for a few minutes, but be sure to watch them closely to prevent burning.
Allow the caramelized sugar to cool and harden before serving, and viola! A tasty sensual treat for you and a (or a few) friend(s) 😚
Remember that the effects of aphrodisiacs can be highly individual, and the best way to enjoy them is in the context of an intentional and romantic experience. So, let’s embrace the fall season and its seductive tastes.
Cheers to a cozy and passionate autumn 🥂

]]>If you’re feeling overwhelmed thinking about how you could have a sexy time with your partner while traveling, you’re not alone.
Navigating how to have sex in small spaces, knowing how to travel with toys and which items to pack, and how to respectfully enjoy yourself while in the close company of family or friends are just a few scenarios that could make things complicated. Here are a few things to remember:
Shower sex is nearly silent sex, is an amazingly sensual environment, and may be even more enjoyable with silicone lube.
Don’t forget to lock the door.
Prioritize bringing your sexual health toolkit, including condoms, a lube that works best for you and your partner, clothing and/or lingerie that makes you feel good, toys that make you feel good.
Hint: We’ve got you if you’re looking for a travel-size toy cleaner, cock ring, or a penis pump. (Our DIY Molding Kits are also TSA-approved as long as they are packed in a carry-on bag!)
Go for as many opportunities as you can to try new positions. If the space you are staying in is challenging (ie, small), take it as an opportunity to explore.
We love connecting with you, and you can find us on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter! We announce giveaways and big sales even on our best sellers from time to time, so follow us to stay informed. 🌸
]]>Setting the mood doesn’t have to be complicated, but spending time to create an ideal atmosphere for intimacy is an important task to keeping a spark alive.
Sex experts found that being intentional and setting up an environment is a great way to prompt intimacy. Folks in long-term relationships have reported higher sexual satisfaction when they have spent time creating an atmosphere that encourages intimate moments.

In general, setting the mood is an act on its own that shows compassion and consideration for your partner. Putting in effort to show that you care about their needs and are turned on when they're turned on is hot as hell.
While this can look different for everyone, there are many ways to explore so we’ll narrow it down by suggesting what to do in the thick of summer. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Curate a sultry playlist, and pay attention to the cadence of the mix. You could build something wonderful up through a sonic climax or two.
Take advantage of and enjoy the gorgeous natural light from summer sunrises and sunsets together, whether that involves quiet and secluded nature or a bright spot in your residence.
Hone in on something special your partner enjoys this time of year and plan a thoughtful date around that.
Lastly, two things you can do year-round: emphasize connection and put the tech away.

Creating a homemade dildo, or a usable copy of your own or your favorite penis, is rapidly turning into the new standard in ultra-custom sex toys. Below we break down the process from beginning to end and explain which materials and methods to avoid and which to employ to attain the best results!
Molding
The first step in copying a penis is to create a mold (or a negative impression of it). This can be done in several ways, but for the absolute best reproduction with the highest level of detail, alginate mixed with water is hands-down the simplest, safest, and most precise method there is. Alginates are natural polymers that are derived from the cell walls of brown seaweeds; the same stuff you see floating in the ocean. Alginate is completely safe - even edible - and has multiple uses. Dentists use it to make exact copies of teeth to fit braces, crowns, and retainers. Big food manufacturers use it as filler materials in their cheaper brand ice creams and hamburgers. Alginate has been in use in multiple products for decades and has proven over the years to be consistently safe and effective. When it comes to molding a penis, though, the details of your specific mix make all the difference.
Accuracy
To achieve the most accurate mold possible, use a high-quality, body-casting alginate mixed with warm water. Using cold water can bring on the dreaded 'shrinkage' effect, something no man wants when copying himself. Even an erect penis can be subject to a slight amount of shrinkage. An alginate that has been buffered to set in a specific amount of time with warm water will produce the best results, as knowing exactly when to insert your penis and when to pull it out is critical to molding an erect penis. Fast-set alginate is not ideal, as you'll need time to mix it with water, pour it into your molding container, and then insert your penis. Fast-set alginates typically won't give you enough time - the mixture will inevitably gel before you can insert yourself. Instead, you’ll want enough time to mix your alginate with water, pour it into your molding container, give yourself that last little bit of stimulus to ensure a complete erection, and then insert your penis.
Timing
Once inserted, you’ll want the mixture to solidify right away so you won't have time to lose your erection. In alginate terms, this is referred to as a 'delayed snap set'. A delayed snap set allows you enough working time to get yourself ready without requiring so much time that you'll lose your erection. Not many men can hold an erection for 5 straight minutes without stimulus. Clone A Willy Kits utilize a specially-formulated delayed snap set alginate, giving you a specific amount of time to mix, pour, and get ready, and once the timer signals, insert your penis and hold for just 60-90 seconds.
Less expensive, fast-set alginates (like dental alginates) don't allow for this precise timing and are usually designed to be mixed in very small quantities. Molding a penis takes a considerable amount more alginate and water, and thus considerably more mixing time. Fast-set alginates mixed in quantities larger than that for which they’re intended often begin to gel in some areas before you’re even finished mixing it all. You may still get a mold if you’re ready and quick, but it likely won’t capture the detail you want. Without fine detail, your finished dildo might turn out to look like nothing more than an ill-defined blob. Whether molding your penis alone or with a friend, a buffered, delayed snap-set, body casting alginate with a workable time frame is an absolute must.
Materials
Once your mold is created, you'll need to fill it with something and let it set up to get your final 'cast' piece. Many materials will cure within your alginate mold... plaster, wax, chocolate, silicone, epoxies, some urethanes, and other plastics, etc. But which material is best if you're after a safe, usable cast?
First, you’ll want to use a material that's both strong and safe... something stable that won't break down and/or leach chemicals into your body. A basic measure of the safety of a material is a simple smell test; if the material you're using has any smell, DO NOT USE IT internally. There are a multitude of chemicals that can 'leak' out of your finished dildo - some are easily absorbed by your body and might even be toxic. When creating a usable dildo, avoid latex, polysulfide rubbers, urethane rubbers, epoxy resins of any kind, and even some silicones. Silicones are the known gold standard of sex toys due to their cleanliness, stability, and safety, but all silicones are not alike. Loopholes in regulations allow some manufacturers to call their materials "silicone" even if they contain as little as 10% of the real thing.
These materials are known as hybrid silicones, though not everyone will admit to selling a hybrid. There are differences in 'real' silicones, too. For instance, a tin-cure silicone tends to break down over time, potentially causing deformation, brittleness, and shrinkage. There's also a risk of contamination, as tin-cure silicones will generally be set up no matter what's in them. If the pigment inside contains any potentially harmful metals, for instance, it'll still cure up and you'll be none the wiser. Platinum-cure silicones, on the other hand, are ideal because they won't be able to cure if there are contaminants inside. Also, once cured, the molecules remain highly stable and will not break down, leach toxins, or react with other materials over time. A finished platinum silicone cast will retain the same properties as it had the day it was made, meaning your finished toy will stay the same size, shape, color and feel for life.
Shrinkage
Another important factor with your casting material is SHRINKAGE. You don't want any material that will shrink while it cures up. The uncured material found in any molding/casting kit has what’s known as a linear shrinkage factor. Most uncured silicone resins will have a shrinkage factor of .007in/in or greater, and hybrids or compounds that include Latex are far worse - with shrinkage factors up to 10%! Even a little bit of shrinkage is unacceptable when copying a man’s penis. Look for a casting silicone that has a shrinkage factor of .001in/in. or less, as with any Empire Labs DIY kit. If you're looking for a realistic look and feel, medically tested, body-safe platinum cure silicone is the best casting material there is. Use one and you won't be disappointed.
Detail
Another important consideration when casting is DETAIL. How realistic will your finished dildo be? There are many factors at play here, including viscosity, cure time, etc, and exploring them all would take a great deal of time and space. Clone A Willy's platinum silicones are specially formulated to capture every small detail... even a fingerprint will perfectly reproduce. The simplest, best way to determine how your dildo will turn out is to simply look at finished samples, or if buying online, at least check out any pictures available from the manufacturer. Regardless of whatever claims they make, if the images they have on display don’t look amazing, neither will your finished dildo. Keep in mind that these are the best replicas the manufacturer has been able to produce, and yours most definitely will not look any better.
Stay away from MOLDING with plaster and plaster products as they are mostly exothermic (they release heat when curing). There is potential for burns to the skin when molding with plaster, and that’s not an area most men would like to scald. Because plaster becomes rigid, it is difficult to handle and remove, especially from body hair. Casting (forming your positive) with plaster is fine, as the plaster won’t come in contact with your skin (this is what Cynthia Plaster Caster did). A plaster cast, however, isn't usable and won’t be as realistic, durable, detailed, or as much fun as a softer, skin-like silicone cast.
Stay away from CASTING with chemically harsh materials. Many uncured resins contain phthalates (plastic additives that are easily absorbed in the body and are possible endocrine disruptors). Phthalates can be found in almost all plastic or urethane resins. Also avoid products containing TDIs, or toluene diisocyanates, which are carcinogenic. TDIs can be found in some cheaper silicones, so know what your silicone consists of. You’ll also want to stay away from latex. Aside from the fact that latex allergies are quite common (approx. 8% of people), a latex cast will noticeably deform during cure, including a great deal of shrinkage.
Above all, TRUST the company from which you’re buying. Check the manufacturer – are they reachable? Is there live operator assistance? Will the company back up its product? Often a good measure of quality/reliability is whether or not you see the product on store shelves. Most shops won’t carry a product that doesn’t comply with all federal, state, and local laws. Additionally, it must perform as it claims or the shop risks multiple returns and possibly even its reputation. Look for objective reviews on the product. Reviews posted directly on a website may not be valid, so look for articles in magazines and weblogs from names you trust.
Dr. David Claus, Ph.D., is a chemist and expert on heavy metals and their impact on bioinorganic systems. Empire Labs was formed in the San Francisco Bay area back in 1996 (we've been all about dicks since '96), where we manufactured highly customized, body-safe, skin-like materials primarily for medical and prosthetic use. Our methods and materials were unique, and our reputation as creators of amazingly lifelike, simple-to-use molding and casting compounds quickly grew just by word of mouth.
Our materials were perfect for easily and inexpensively creating life-like movie props and highly detailed body part castings. It wasn’t long before we struck a deal with Hollywood, our molding products being used for horror flicks and special effects scenes. In 1997, realistic penis replicas of varying shapes and sizes were needed for an independent film. The first DIY Willy kits were born and they were such a hit on set that a retail version was created.

We can't help that we're popular! Many future brides and grooms may already have us on their wishlist (or registry, we'd love to see that). Our DIY Molding Kits are for anyone and everyone! Although they allow for molding a penis or vulva, as we mentioned previously, they can also be used to mold other penetrable items or something not sexual at all. Most importantly, Clone-A-Willy and Clone-A-Pussy create space for individuals and couples to get to know themselves and each other better. They allow an opportunity to be vulnerable, turned on, and cry with laughter simultaneously! We are all unique and beautiful from head to toe. Clone-A-Willy and Clone-A-Pussy are indeed the gifts that keep on giving!

May is a month dedicated to honoring the art of self-pleasure: masturbation. It's also Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental Health and Masturbation go hand-in-hand. Masturbation is an amazing opportunity to make more time for yourself, get to know your body better, and prioritize your sexual pleasure. Masturbating is an act of self-love, empowerment, and exploration. It is also an amazing grounding technique to bring you back to your physical body and self-soothe through touch and pleasure.
Good Vibrations founded International Masturbation Month in 1995 “in the wake of the controversy surrounding the firing of former Clinton administration Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who evoked conservative wrath when she stated that discussion of masturbation might have a place in sex education curricula. Realizing that one simple, sensible mention of solo pleasuring was enough to lose this prominent woman--the country's first African-American Surgeon General--her job convinced Good Vibrations staff that this most basic and accessible form of sex needed a serious image boost.”
In case you need any more motivation to celebrate this month, Dr. Raegan McDonald-Mosley, Chief Medical Officer at Planned Parenthood Federation of America states: “Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of sexuality. It can enhance our physical, mental, and sexual health and the health of our sexual relationships. Learning about what feels good to you can help increase sexual pleasure with sex partners. And when you know what you like and are comfortable with your body, your satisfaction with sex increases.”
Here are some ideas for ways you can release those happy hormones and connect with yourself.
Depending on your preferred medium, do your own research on the topic. Find books, podcasts, or lectures from trusted and engaging voices. Find sexy playlists that you can play in the background to elevate your mood. Find visual artists exploring the topic of self-pleasure. Watch all the porn.
Try out a new toy or technique - you might surprise yourself with how good it could be.
Masturbate with your partner or partners. If you’re able to watch them closely and remember the details, it could serve you well the next time you’re intimate.
Clone-A-Willy and Clone-A-Pussy are great tools for masturbating solo or partnered. Your part is fine art! (Pro tip: use promo code MASTURBATIONMAY for 20% off our site)
If you’re finding it difficult to set aside time for yourself, give yourself permission to be spontaneous even if it’s for a few minutes. Remind yourself why this self-love is important and how beautiful even the most subtle changes could be when you give yourself the time and energy.

The World Naked Bike Ride is very clear on why organizers started and continue to plan these rides. Their wiki clearly states their intention is “to celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against oil dependency.” The first-ever international naked bike ride is listed as a collaboration between those involved in WNBR and the Manifestación Ciclonudista in June of 2004. Since then, many different kinds of folks have been involved in the rides all around the world. It’s unclear which larger nude bike ride was the first, but what is certain is that there’s a real draw between these smooth machines and nude activism.
The wiki also proudly states that people who hold all kinds of beliefs, professions, economic statuses, and beyond come together as this bold protest. Wondering how you can support or get involved in future rides?

Although this court ruling for Berlin will create more opportunities for equality in the city, there are many clothing optional beaches where FKK signs have been planted in the ground for decades. Since around 1900, nude bathing around Berlin, on the German North and Baltic Sea coast became quite popular. The movement suffered from the ‘30s up until after the second world war. FKK gained recognition again in the former East Germany, with strong ties to the workers' movement. It became a symbol for people and families to escape the repressive state.
To be clear, this kind of nudism is not inherently erotic, which makes it feel like a cultural phenomenon worth protecting.
