This week’s myth is especially important:

Myth: Penetration is the main event.

It’s a common belief that sex doesn’t really start until penetration happens. People walking among us believ that everything before it is just foreplay. Perhaps it’s considered a warm-up act, something you endure or rush through on the way to the “real” thing. It’s a myth that convinces people to override their natural desires and instincts, and possibly end up faking orgasms or even lying to themselves.

Most sex myths aren’t built around pleasure. They’re built around performance and sometimes even by the patriarchy. This one happens to center male satisfaction.

So let’s slow it down.

Why We’re Taught Penetration Is the “Main Event”

Do you feel like you get more pleasure out of foreplay? You’re not alone. The idea that penetration is the main event seems to center around only one kind of pleasure, with many vagina-owners being left bereft of orgasm.

Penetration-focused sex works pretty well for people whose bodies are most easily and largely stimulated that way. For everyone else, it often requires adapting, waiting, or even erasing all desire altogether.

When sex is organized around penetration as the goal, everything else becomes secondary. That doesn’t mean penetration is bad. It just means we need to deconstruct pleasure, and reframe it in a way that pleasures all parties, regardless of their genitals.

Reality Check: Lesbian Sex Exists

One of the easiest ways to see the cracks in this myth is to look at sex that doesn’t involve around penises at all.

Lesbian sex doesn’t treat penetration as the default or the finish line. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn’t. Partners enjoy pleasure, connection, and responsiveness as they grow in pleasure together. And somehow, despite the lack of a so-called “main event,” the sex still counts. It’s still satisfying. It’s still complete.

This is the biggest smoking gun, to debunk this myth.

Reframing Penetration’s Role

Here’s where nuance matters: penetration can absolutely be part of great sex.

For many women, penetration feels best after other kinds of stimulation have already done some of the work. This is what we consider foreplay. More accurately, we’ll refer to these acts as “outercourse” here. We’re talking about kissing, touching, oral, grinding, teasing, warmth, buildup.

Think of penetration not as the ignition, but as something that can deepen or amplify pleasure once you’re already turned on. For some people, penetration can help tip things over the edge when they’re halfway there. For others, it’s neutral. For others, it’s not the thing at all.

Expansive Pleasure Changes Everything

The problem is pretending penetration is the whole point, altogether.

A lot of vagina owners don’t struggle with orgasm because their bodies are “difficult.” They struggle because sex has been narrowed down to one single act, requiring a penis.

When pleasure is allowed to be expansive, orgasm often follows more naturally. And if penetration joins the party? Great. If it doesn’t? Also great. You got to cum, you lucky devil!

Debunked Verdict

Penetration is the main event? Officially Debunked.

Unlearning sex myths can feel strange at first. Sometimes uncomfortable. Sometimes deeply relieving. Because once a myth loosens its grip, there’s suddenly more space—for curiosity, for communication, for pleasure that becomes more expansive.

Penetration is an option among many pleasure choices. It can be part of sex without being the only thing sex revolves around.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected, rushed, or underwhelmed because penetration was treated as the finish line, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. Your pleasure just needs more room than the myth allows.

Sex isn’t a performance for someone else. It’s a shared experience, shaped by what actually feels good. You’re allowed to center your own pleasure.

Stay curious. Stay soft with yourself. And remember: your clit matters.

Today, we’re talking about a vaginal-centric hygiene, and why it’s important in sexuality and in general health. While we may love our sexy little lace panties and cuddling after sex, a little neglect is more than enough to sabotage your best efforts in self-love, self-pleasure and in maintaining vaginal health.

Lingerie is fun. But keeping clean panties on is it’s real, reliable, and rooted in self-care. Freshness boosts confidence, supports vaginal health, and keeps intimacy feeling easy instead of stressful. So let’s talk about what is normal, and what should be addressed!

Changing your Underwear Matters. A fishy smell is not normal, actually. 

We’re not saying we shouldn’t wear sexy lingerie, or trying to tell you how to live. We’re just here to deliver the facts: underwear sits in one of the warmest parts of your body, which naturally produces excretions throughout the day. Sweat and discharge build up, and so does harmful bacteria

With all that warmth, a balanced vaginal microbiome can grow the wrong bacterias. And the wrong bacteria means foul odors and infections. 

Dirty underwear doesn’t just smell off, it can throw off your pH, irritate your skin, and increase the risk of infections. Changing your underwear daily (and after workouts, sweaty days, or long nights) is one of those low-effort hygiene habits that pays off immediately.

However, it’s not the only piece of the puzzle. You still have a job to do, in your daily hygiene routines.

Basic Hygiene Standards to Keep Your Vagina Healthy

Let’s keep this simple and shame-free. Vaginal health thrives on consistency, not overdoing it Here are some basics:

• Clean underwear every day
  
• Gentle washing with warm water (no harsh soaps internally)
  
• Avoid scented products down there
  
• Wipe front to back
  
• Change out of damp underwear ASAP
  

If something smells off, it’s usually a sign to adjust your hygiene routine or see a medical professional.  

Your vagina is self-cleaning, but your labia is not.

Underwear hygiene and personal hygiene plays a big role in keeping things balanced. If your parents didn’t teach you, here are some basic highlights on keeping yourself clean:

• Shower regularly, especially after sweating, taking care to use a gentle soap over the vulva. Rinse gently. Medical professionals recommend a gentle, unscented & pH balanced soap.
• Wear breathable fabrics, like cotton or cotton blends.
• Change underwear at least once a day
• Keep an extra pair on hand for long days
• Wash underwear thoroughly and fully dry it
• Replace your underwear every 6-12 months, or whenever you see signs of wear and permanent staining.

What Kind of Underwear Is Best for Vaginal Health?

When it comes to vaginal health, breathable beats sexy every time (and yes, underwear can be both).

• Cotton or bamboo fabrics
• Moisture-wicking materials
• Proper fit—not too tight
• Minimal synthetic lace for daily wear

Save the fancy lingerie for short stints and sexy nights in. For everyday life, fresh underwear that lets your body breathe is key. Comfort and cleanliness are deeply underrated forms of sex appeal.

Personal hygiene can make or break a relationship.

Like it or not, hygiene is an aspect of compatibility that really shouldn’t be compromised in a partnership. Here’s the unspoken truth: Partners notice differences in cleanliness even if they never bring it up.

Clean underwear signals self-respect and respect for the person you’re sharing your body with. 

If you and your partner have incompatible hygiene routines, it can affect overall attraction. Nothing kills attraction faster than mysterious odors, or thinking “maybe I can get away with one more wear” when it most definitely cannot. Additionally, if you’re having unprotected sex, there’s more intermingling of bacterias we want to control.

Good hygiene builds trust and comfort.

Did your mother not drive home the importance of wearing good underwear, in case of an emergency, or are you normal?

Hygiene isn’t only for germaphobes. It’s for everyone, and our partners. Whether you’re dating, hooking up, or just existing in your body, clean underwear matters more than something that looks sexy. 

Consistency with hygiene removes anxiety. In turn, that makes intimacy easier. And yes, bad hygiene ruins attraction faster than almost anything else, in particular if hygiene practes between parters are not compatible.

So if you’re choosing between lace and clean cotton? Choose both, and never skip the hygiene routine. Your body will thank you.

The post Hygiene Chat: Clean Underwear is Sexier than Lingerie appeared first on Peach Kisser.

All it takes is knowing the right questions to ask, and paying attention to your partner. If you’re not willing to do those things, should you really be doing this anyway?

Perhaps asking is awkward if you’re asking to pleasure someone in the same fashion one would offer a dinner plate. Stopping to check in, or asking before changing acts is a conscious choice which eventually leads to better sex, especially when done with some added heat.

Paying Attention = Underrated Sex Skill

Simply paying attention is probably the number one thing someone can do, to improve their sex life. We don’t know about you, but there’s nothing sexier than someone who’s paying attention and actually wants you to enjoy yourself.

Checking in can be as simple as noticing someone’s reaction and asking if they want more, less, or something different. Asking “does this feel good?” or “can I try something?” is a sign you’re engaged.

Give Proactive Consent – Communication During Sex

That the hottest moments are the ones where nobody says anything and everyone magically knows what the other person wants. Right?

Except most of us are not mind readers! Communication is essential for better pleasure and removing the awkward feelings behind overthinking and combating feelings of inadequacy. What you want isn’t always what your person wants, and if you want to provide a truly holistic sexual experience, you’re going to want to communicate as much as you listen.

In addition to paying attention to your partner and asking questions when you need to, tell them what you’re enjoying, what you like, and what you want them to do! This street goes both ways!

Confidence is Sexy

Confidence, especially in the bedroom, is attractive.

You don’t need a formal consent speech, or any signed agreements, exactly. You can keep it light, flirty, even a little silly. A check-in can be a whisper, a grin, a raised eyebrow, or even a breathy, “can I go down on you?”

Communication doesn’t have to be serious to be sincere.

Beyond the Check-In – Consent in Sex

Being active goes beyond questions–providing consent as you continue is also hot!

Exhausting yourself with mental gymnastics is not benefitting your orgasm, or your partner’s orgasm. Not only is checking in valuable, but proactively telling your partner what you like and don’t want is also a critical piece.

When you know you’re on the same page, everything feels easier — and usually better. Remove some of the awkwardness of checking in by being clear with your partner about what you enjoy, what you want, AND what you want to try.

Pay Attention and Reap the Rewards

When you know someone actually wants you there, fully and enthusiastically, it changes everything.

Consent in sex doesn’t make things stiff or scripted. It makes them intentional. It turns intimacy into something shared, versus an act that is simply done to another person.

No one really likes guessing games, anyway. Check in. Because confidence is hot. Caring is hot. And orgasms come a little easier, when both partners are relaxed and comfortable during intimacy.

Many women eventually notice something frustrating happening with their bodies.

You’re exercising…
Eating reasonably well…
You’re trying to stay active.

And yet…

• The scale won’t move.
• Building muscle feels harder than it used to.
• Your body just doesn’t respond the same way anymore.

Hormones That Affect Muscle and Weight in Women

It’s misery. Perhaps you think it’s because of age, or something wrong with your diet. So you try and try again to no avail. Doctors tell you that your labs look “normal”. But are they?

But sometimes the bigger conversation is about hormones, but focused on your hormones being optimal–not just clinically accurate.

Hormones go beyond estrogen and testosterone. The body uses different hormones to send messages through the body. Hormones control many systems that affect metabolism, muscle growth, fat storage, and energy levels.

When they shift—even slightly—it can change how your body responds to diet and exercise.

Hormones That Affect Muscle Growth in Women

Muscle growth doesn’t just come from lifting weights. Hormones help determine how easily your body can build and maintain muscle. Several hormones play important roles:

Testosterone

Even though testosterone is often labeled a “male hormone,” women produce it too. Women also need testosterone for a healthy reproductive system.

Testosterone helps support:

• Muscle development
• Strength
• Energy
• Libido
• Motivation

When testosterone levels are lower, some women notice:

• Difficulty building muscle
• Fatigue during workouts
• Lower physical strength
• Reduced motivation to exercise
• Difficulty losing fat

If you’re curious about how testosterone works in the female body, you can read more in our guide to low testosterone in women and its symptoms.

Growth Hormone

Growth hormone helps your body repair and rebuild tissue after exercise. It supports muscle recovery and maintenance. Healthy sleep and resistance training both help support natural growth hormone release.

Estrogen

Estrogen is often associated with reproductive health, but it also plays a role in muscle recovery and joint health.

When estrogen levels shift—especially during perimenopause or menopause—many women notice changes in muscle tone and recovery depending on where their hormonal levels are.

SBGH Hormone

SBGH hormone is a liver-produced protein that binds to sex hormones in the liver. This hormone primarily works with testosterone and estrogen, regulating their transport and bioavailability throughout the body.

If the body is overloaded with SBGH Hormone, this could mean that your sex hormones are held hostage and are not available for the body to use.

This means, this hormone will trap testosterone and estrogen in the liver, instead of allowing your body to use it!

How are hormonal imbalances treated?

If your levels are not optimal, hormone replacement therapy for women or even a change in birth control is frequently prescribed to bring your hormones into their optimal levels.

The key is finding that they are at optimal levels–please refer to your medical practitioner for advice.

Hormones That Affect Weight in Women

Weight regulation is also influenced by several hormones working together. If one of them changes, your metabolism may respond differently than it used to.

Cortisol

Cortisol is often called the stress hormone. When cortisol stays elevated for long periods, it can affect:

• Fat storage
• Appetite
• Energy levels
• Sleep quality

Chronic stress may contribute to stubborn weight changes that don’t respond to diet alone. If you find you are fighting stress–vesus managing it–you may want to consider having these levels checked by your medical practitioner.

Insulin

Insulin helps regulate blood sugar and fat storage.

When the body becomes less sensitive to insulin, it may store more energy as fat. This is why insulin balance is often discussed in conversations about metabolism and conditions like PCOS.

Not to mention, imbalances of sex hormones can cause PCOS-like symptoms.

Insulin resistance is a common cause of inability to lose weight, and can be managed easily with an inexpensive medication.

Thyroid Hormones

Your thyroid plays a major role in controlling metabolism.

If thyroid hormone levels shift, it can affect:

• Energy
• Body temperature
• Weight regulation
• Fatigue levels

Why Hormone Symptoms Can Feel Confusing

Hormones rarely change in isolation.

When one hormone shifts, it can influence several others. That’s why symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, low libido, or difficulty gaining muscle can overlap with different hormonal conditions.

For example, some women experience symptoms similar to PCOS even if they don’t have a diagnosis.

Understanding the full hormone picture can help explain why your body feels different.

My Doctor Isn’t Listening–What do I do?

If you’ve noticed persistent changes like:

• difficulty losing weight
• trouble gaining muscle
• low energy
• irregular cycles

A medical professional can determine whether a hormone panel for women could provide helpful information about what your body is experiencing.

Sometimes that means finding a new practitioner. If your conventional practitioner doesn’t seem keen to test, request that they note it in your chart. At Peach Kisser, we humbly suggest finding functional medicine doctor.

These are practitioners that focus more on optimizing the body, versus treating acute issues. Functional medicine practitioners tend to treat the whole person.

Hormone testing doesn’t mean something is wrong. It simply gives you more insight into how your body works.

A Reminder

Bodies change over time.

Muscle, weight, energy, and metabolism are influenced by many factors—including hormones, sleep, stress, and lifestyle.

Understanding how hormones affect muscle and weight can be one step toward listening more closely to what your body is telling you.

The post The Sneaky Hormones That Keep You From Losing Weight appeared first on Peach Kisser.

If you’re still rocking the same vibe from 2018, baby, it’s time for an upgrade. The world of pleasure tech is evolving fast! From AI-powered orgasms to eco-conscious vibes, 2025 is all about smarter, sexier, and more sustainable self-love.

1. App-Controlled Toys with Real Interactivity (Hot)

Gone are the days of clunky apps that barely connect. In 2025, smart sex toys are smarter than ever — syncing with biometrics, voice commands, and even your favorite music. Imagine your rabbit vibrator pulsing in rhythm with Billie Eilish’s whispery beats, or your strapon buzzing harder the more your heart races during a naughty livestream. Brands like Lioness and Lovense are leading the charge with AI-driven pleasure patterns that learn your responses and adapt in real time. And yes — long-distance lovers, your bae can control your climax from across the world. The future is remote, and it feels insane.

2. Eco-Friendly & Body-Safe Materials (Hot)

We’re done with cheap, porous plastic that smells like a high school chem lab. 2025 is the year of sustainable seduction. More creators and brands are switching to platinum-cure silicone, recycled packaging, and biodegradable lube wipes — because your pussy deserves clean energy, not environmental guilt. Look for toys labeled phthalate-free, non-toxic, and ethically made. Not only are these better for the planet, but they’re gentler on your most sensitive parts. Your clit will thank you — and so will Mother Earth.

3. AI-Powered Fantasy Fulfillment (Hot)

Yes, AI is not just for writing dirty emails… Uh, anymore. Customizable AI companions are being integrated into sex dolls and teledildonics, learning your favorite moans, rhythms, and dirty talk preferences. Some high-end vibrators now come with voice-responsive AI that whispers exactly what you want to hear — from soft praise to commanding domination. It’s like having a personal sub or dom available 24/7. And let’s be real — sometimes, AI doesn’t ghost you after orgasm.

4. Overpriced, Gimmicky “Wellness” Vibes (Not)

Remember those $300 jade eggs or “chakra-aligning” wands with zero actual vibration? Yeah, move on. Consumers are smarter now — we want function over faux-spiritual fluff. If it doesn’t make you squirt, clench, or scream, it’s not worth shelf space. The “wellness” trend got co-opted by grifters, and we’re over it. Real pleasure isn’t sold in a rose quartz shell — it’s in a powerful motor and a curved tip that knows where to go.

5. Non-Connectable, One-Speed Toys (Not)

If your vibe only has one speed and looks like it was designed in 2003, it’s time to recycle it. Single-speed, non-rechargeable, non-waterproof toys? Vintage sex toys aren’t cute.

In 2025, we want multi-speed control, whisper-quiet motors, USB charging, and full submersibility. Anything less is a downgrade,and your orgasms deserve better.

Nail care, pubic hair, and why cleanliness can make or break the vibe.

Whether you’re bare, bushy, or blissfully somewhere in-between, how you groom your genitals says a lot about how you treat yourself and how you show up in intimate moments.

So if you’ve ever wondered what really matters when it comes to sexy hygiene, let’s give you a rundown.

The Hair Down There

Pubic hair grooming is a personal thing, and a matter of preference. Some like it smooth, some prefer a trim, and others let it thrive naturally. There’s no “right” look, but there is a right way to care for it.

If you shave, go with the grain, use a fresh razor, and exfoliate beforehand. Waxing? Prep with a corn starch based baby powder to reduce sweat interference. Prefer to trim? Keep those scissors clean and go for a neat-but-natural vibe.

And if you’re letting it grow wild? Just keep it clean. Hair traps sweat, oils, and scent, so cleanliness is key.

Nail It, Literally

Let’s talk fingers.

You’d be shocked how many people overlook this one, but it’s major. Whether you’re touching yourself or someone else, your hands are going to be involved. That just means they’d better be clean and safe.

Keep nails short and smooth, especially if you’re getting handsy. File down jagged edges (no one likes a surprise scratch), and make sure the undersides are scrubbed clean. Bacteria loves to hide there, and trust us, that’s not the kind of flavor anyone’s asking for.

Soft, well-kept nails feel amazing gliding over skin. That little extra effort? Chef’s kiss.

Wash Like You’re Expecting Company

Good hygiene is about being healthy, and ready for whatever (or whoever) comes your way.

How to wash all genitals:

Use pH-balanced intimate washes below the belt, instead of harsh soaps. Rinse off after sex (or solo play!) to clear away fluids, lube, and sweat. And dry yourself off completely, paying special attention to folds or creases where bacteria likes to linger.

There’s something super empowering about knowing you smell and feel amazing naked. Sometimes that starts with a steamy shower and a little exfoliating scrub.

Nothing says sensuality, like being clean enough to eat…

The Extra Mile

We encourage readers to only do what they’re comfortable with. Here are some tips with that in mind:

For those with testicles, gentle trim them. If shaving, gently stretch the skin to avoid nicks.

Vulva-havers? Get rid of the douche like it’s your ex. And keep the scented lubes on the shelf. Nothing can disrupt the pH quite like these two things.

Try using a lube that is formulated for women who are sensitive. We highly recommend Sliquid, if other lubes are giving you issues.

Keep it light, clean, and confidently yours. Because sexy hygiene isn’t about impressing someone else—it’s about owning your pleasure.

So, Why Does Any of This Matter?

Because grooming isn’t just about what others see or smell. It’s about keeping you confident, comfortably, and healthy. In some cases, it’s just basic hygiene! There’s nothing hotter than someone who takes care of themselves, not out of pressure or shame, but because they want to feel amazing in their own skin.

Are you team bare, team bush, or a little bit of both? Got a grooming trick that makes you feel unstoppable? Slide into our DMs or drop a comment—we love a good hygiene hack.

Chat, we need to talk. Self-love isn’t bubble baths and face masks, nor is it getting your nails done. While self-care acts such as these are a part of self-love, the practice expands far beyond your personal spa days.

Erotic self-love is where sensuality meets self-devotion. It’s a lifestyle, a mindset, and a delicious reclamation of your personal power. 

Integrating Erotic Self-Love into Your Life 

When you align body, mind, and spirit with sensual intention, you’re embodying self-love.

You light candles for you. You wear lingerie because it makes you feel irresistible, even if it’s just for a moment. Perhaps, you gently caress your skin and twerk in your bedroom – even if no one’s watching. 

Erotic self-love is about creating a world where your pleasure matters. Not selfishly, but with balance.

Worship Yourself First

Your body has brought you here. It’s brought you this far. It’s brought you through things you never expected to get through.

Your body is a vessel, but that’s not all. It’s your playground, your power source. It’s where you store all your knowledge and secrets. Erotic self-love starts with treating it like the sacred, sexy altar it is.

That means feeding it well, moving it with joy (not punishment), and yes—exploring your own pleasure. Have you ever masturbated mindfully? Or explored the art of sensual touch? 

Erotic self-love invites you to stop waiting for permission or partners and start worshipping yourself.

Stimulate your Mind

Erotic empowerment starts in that pretty lil’ noggin of yours. Mental self-love is where you let go of shame and start romancing your own imagination, instead of holding onto the shame inflicted on you by your past.

Read that erotic fiction, and launch yourself into your fantasies. Journal your feelings and turn ons, and try to read them without cringing. 

Explore your deepest curiosities, and learn something new. Listen to music that lights up your mind and body, or explore new genres. Your mind deserves to play. It’s necessary for mental health.

We all know what “all work and no play” leads us into… 

See more of our blogs on How To Practice Self Love here.

Nourishing Your Spirit

Nourishing oneself must go beyond the body. Erotic self-love taps into spirituality. Some may even consider it Glamour Magick. 

Erotic self-love taps into something spiritual, whether you believe in other realms or not. You, as yourself, are a spiritual being. Honor your light. 

It’s about grounding into your worth, setting intentions, and honoring boundaries. Your “yeses” and “nos” are powerful and impactful upon your psyche. Don’t overextend either of them.

This is where mindfulness, breathwork, ritual, and even sex magic can come into play. You are allowed to connect with your erotic self in a way that feels sacred. Because guess what? Your pleasure is sacred, and worth honoring.

It’s a sexy way to live. 

Pleasure Changes Everything

The more you know yourself erotically and sensually, the more deeply you can connect with others. You will set stronger boundaries, love with abandon, and with soaring confidence. 

Making yourself a priority only enhances your power–but you have to want to do it. Erotic self-love isn’t selfish. It’s transformative. And baby, it’s something that is all yours. You call the shots.

We’re here to help! If you’re new to the concept of aftercare, we’ll cover it in detail, including what it is, how to engage, and the benefits of a positive aftercare experience.

What Is Sexual Aftercare?

Looking back to your first experiences – did you know about sexual aftercare? The practice goes so much deeper than a few cuddles, depending on your sexual relationship, needs, and desires.

Think of sexual aftercare as the intentional transition between euphoria and reality, that ensures both partners feel safe and assured. This is when partners provide each other with physical and/or emotional care, after sexual activity.

Whether you’ve had rough sex OR sensual love-making, aftercare helps transition your primal experience and desires with care, and back into reality.

Why Is Aftercare Necessary?

Sex can be an intense physical and emotional experience, especially when power dynamics, BDSM, or deep fantasies are involved. There are a number of reasons why one may want to engage in aftercare for their partners, whether their sexual relationship is casual or romantic.

Here are a few reasons to engage:

• Emotional Regulation – Sex can trigger adrenaline, endorphins, and even drop in serotonin Aftercare helps balance these emotions.
• Physical Recovery – Soreness, dehydration, exhaustion–even bruises–need attention.
• Trust & Bonding – Reinforces the connection between partners, making them feel secure and loved.
• Closure – Especially important after roleplay or CNC where real emotions may blur with fantasy.

What Does Aftercare Consist Of?

Aftercare can consist of many things for different couples! We’ve compiled a few lists of common aftercare practices, so you can be more intentional with your experiences:

Physical Aftercare:

• Hydration & Snacks – Sex is a workout! Water, juice, or light snacks help recover energy. Liquid IV or another electrolyte beverage is highly recommended!
• Warm Blankets or Baths – Cozy comfort eases the body, especially after an intense experience.
• Fresh Towels – Cleaning up is NOT underrated.
• Gentle Touch & Cuddling – Skin-to-skin contact releases oxytocin (the “love hormone”).
• First Aid (If Needed) – Clean cuts, apply lotion to rope marks, or ice bruises.

Emotional Aftercare:

• Verbal Reassurance – Phrases like “you did so good for me,” and “that was amazing,” go a long way.
• Check-Ins – Ask your partner how they’re feeling, and if they enjoyed their experience.
• Praise & Affection – Compliment their performance, body, or submission/dominance.
• Debrief (If Needed) – Discuss what worked, what didn’t, and desires for next time.

Customized Aftercare (For Kink/BDSM Scenes):

• Aftercare for Submissives/Bottoms – Extra cuddles, soft blankets, fresh towels, reassurance of their worth and safety.
• Aftercare for Dominants/Tops – Acknowledgment of their care, praise for their control.
• Sensory Calming – Dim lights, soft music, weighted blankets, if overstimulated.

How to Make Your Partner Feel Loved (No Matter the Sex Style)

• Be Present – Put away your phone, make eye contact, and truly engage with them and their bodies.
• Follow Their Lead – Some need silence, others need chatter. Read their cues.
• Small Gestures Matter – A forehead kiss, running fingers through their hair, or bringing them water speaks volumes.
• Respect Boundaries – If they need space, don’t take it personally.

Aftercare Is for Everyone

Gentle vanilla lovers, primal beasts, and hardcore kinksters alike all benefit from aftercare. There is no right or wrong way to go about it, so do what works for you and your partner(s). The only wrong way to do it, is if you are refusing to listen to your partners’ needs.

It’s not just for “extreme” sex – it’s about honoring the vulnerability and intimacy you’ve shared, even if it’s casual in nature. We are all human, and have different needs depending on a multitude of factors.

If you’ve been with me since Part 1, we’ve unveiled how I got here, and invasive staring in Part 2. Today I am ready to discuss the more practical aspects of a simultaneously BIG and small part of my life.

While owning a spectacular set of breasts, it does come with a number of negative aspects that cannot be ignored, along with the positive. Today, I am going to unpack impacts on physical and mental health surrounding the …”support” of big ol’ honker ownership; Pain, Surgery, and Self-Acceptance.

Check out the Full Beyond the DD Series.

Big Boob Problems – They’re a Pain

Many of us, myself included, spent time in their teenage years wishing for larger breasts. This was practically a rite of passage in the 90s. Little did I realize, back when I was wielding lil’ b-cups, that I would end up as an all-natural anomaly; a top-heavy princess with a spine that grapples with the weight it must bear.

Specifically, this pair is a pain in my neck and shoulder muscles. I frequently wince, whenever I see feminists discuss how we should all go bra-less. My poor neck! My poor spine! “Not me,” I beg. I like to keep these things lovingly packed away, so my shoulders aren’t bearing the load.

When I am not manning the “equipment” properly, I am left in sizeable amounts of pain. My left shoulder seems to struggle the most, but my spine as a whole has left chiropractors aghast, wondering exactly what’s happened to me.

Sirs, I’m sorry. But can you NOT see what you’re dealing with? As one can imagine, manning the equipment involves costly materials one cannot simply just purchase as the local department store.

Big Boob Problems – Bras are Spendy

While I adore the fashionable designs from Curvy Kate, and I am able to find bras in sister sizes that function properly, even though not every bra suits every occasion. This fact is far more apparent, when you have larger breasts.

Some clothes just look ridiculous, in a bra that prioritizes fashion. They’re never quite cut right. Many of them designed for larger gals offer FULL coverage, which doesn’t even look good under a t-shirt.

While proper sizing works to make my hourglass more apparent, sometimes I just don’t want all the attention. They always keep my breasts festooned beautifully, in their full glory, as God intended. They’re front-and-center and begging to be seen.

While it may be fun to show off once in a while, most of the time these things just get in the way. Thus I have resorted to several means to control them appropriately, depending on the circumstances.

Minimizers Are a Godsend

Many days–particularly in polite company–I prefer to wear a minimizing bra. This may sound uncomfortable, but you’re going to have to hear me out. Especially if you’re a big boobied lady, yourself!

Minimizer bras are by far the most flexible item in my lingerie chest. Not only does the right minimizer still look good under most clothes, but it is not a totally miserable experience. Though, I will say, minimizing bras are the only reason I have begin to understand why women love taking their bras off at the end of the day. However, these bad boys can take about 3-4 inches off the width of my bustline!

Be that as it may, I value what they add to my overall look and figure. As for day-to-day comfort, I keep them strapped down and out of my business with sports bras. Even then, they don’t always offer the support necessary to keep my shoulders from straining. Sometimes, I require reinforcements in the form of a second sports bra. Or simply putting on a regular, uncomfortable bra.

It can be a sensory nightmare.

Big Boob Problems – What About Breast Reduction?

Those who have loved me intimately preferred for me to keep such sizeable mounds, as I have entertained the idea of surgery. The truth, however, is quite simple; I am not ready to part with them.

They may be a pain, they may get in the way, but it’s my BODY. These breasts are mine, and I love them just like I love the other parts of myself that make me, ME.

While I have had both major and minor surgeries in my life, voluntary surgery is not something I have the time or energy to recover from. Not to mention, if you read Part 1 of this series, you’ll know I have a number of health issues that may make healing and recovery a far more arduous journey, than it would if I was a fully healthy person.

Accepting The Problems & My Body

While they may be a pain, and they may be worth a reduction, it is up to me to maintain my health with my naturally gifted body. This is why I must maintain a strong back, and why I must eat healthily as an adult, to keep my bones in tip-top shape.

Part of self-acceptance sometimes means accepting things that are inconvenient. While I may have once wished to own two luscious mounds of joy upon my chest, actually developing them has taught me a crucial life lesson: “Be Careful What You Wish For, Because You Just Might Get It”!

In this edition, we’ll cover the basics of sex toys. We’ll cover everything from nipple stimulators, dildos, bullets, vibrators, and clitoral suckers to get you started on your way to self-pleasure, without use of your own hands.

We’ll discuss the safest ways to use toys, how to keep them clean, and provide tips for maintaining discretion.

I’ll hold your hand. Let’s just call it “Mutual Masturbation”.

Pleasure Principles: Volume II – A Guide to Sex Toys for Vulvas and Vaginas

Nipple Stimulation

Nipple stimulators are a fantastic way to enhance your solo play sessions, with something a little atypical of many users when they learn how to masturbate. These toys work by providing intense and focused stimulation to your nipples. Here are some popular types and tips for using them safely:

• Nipple Clamps: These come in various styles, from simple clips to adjustable screw clamps. Start with beginner-friendly options and gradually explore more intense ones as you become accustomed to the sensation.These are also excellent for partner play, but that’s another blog!
• Suction Cups: These create a vacuum-like suction around your nipples, increasing blood flow and sensitivity.
• Vibrating Nipple Toys: These combine vibration with clamps or suction cups for added pleasure.

Safe Use and Cleaning:

• Always start with clean toys and hands.
• Apply a small amount of lube to the nipple area to enhance sensation and reduce friction.
• Begin with gentle pressure and gradually increase intensity as desired.
• Clean your toys after each use with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner.
• Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

How to Masturbate with Dildos

Dildos are classic sex toys designed for penetrative pleasure. In this section, we are specifically discussing the type of dildo that is manual, requiring use of your own hand to thrust them inside of yourself. This gives you a great chance to get truly intimate with yourself and see what you REALLY like. Dildos come in various shapes, sizes, and materials to cater to different preferences. There are even thrusting dildos, themed, and vibrating toys to choose from!

Here’s how to use them safely and effectively:

• Materials: Choose body-safe materials like silicone, glass, or stainless steel.
• Sizes: Start with smaller sizes and gradually work your way up if you must! It takes time to decide what you really like.
• Lubrication: Always use a generous amount of water-based lube for smoother penetration.

Safe Use and Cleaning:

• Wash your dildo with warm water and mild soap before and after each use.
• Dry it thoroughly to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
• Store it in a clean, dry place, preferably in a toy bag or container.

Bullets and Vibrators

Bullets and vibrators are versatile toys that can be used for both clitoral and internal stimulation, depending on the type you purchase. Tip: If you purchase a bullet vibrator and want to experience the fun sensations inside of yourself without risk, put the toy inside of a condom. That will make it easier to pull out when you’re finished! Keep yourself our of the ER.

Vibrators come in various shapes and sizes, with different vibration settings to cater to different preferences. I recommend choosing one with a variety of settings, to increase versatility in your experience.

Types of Vibrators:

• Bullets: Small and discreet, perfect for targeted clitoral stimulation.
• Vibrators: Larger and more versatile, suitable for both internal and external use.
• Dildo: In the shape of a dildo, but battery-powered to vibrate on command while you use it to thrust.

Safe Use and Cleaning:

• Always use a water-based lube for comfort and enhanced sensation.
• Wash your toy with warm water and mild soap after each use.
• Store it in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Clitoral Suckers

Ah yes, my personal favorite of the bunch! Clitoral suckers use suction and vibration to provide intense clitoral stimulation. They are designed to mimic the sensation of oral sex and really amplify solo fun with new sensations you don’t usually get on your own. Choose from handheld devices or wearable options for hands-free pleasure, to choose how to masturbate. There aren’t too many variants of this toy, other than some being enabled for fully hands-free fun! Choose a model that has divverent vibration and suction settings to find your perfect rhythm.!

Make sure to check out my sex toy reviews for some of my favorite clitoral suckers.

Safe Use and Cleaning:

• Apply a small amount of water-based lube to the clitoral area for comfort and enhanced sensation.
• Wash your toy with warm water and mild soap after each use.
• Store it in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Tips for Discretion

Maintaining privacy and discretion is essential when exploring yourself, intimately.. Here are some tips to help you keep your play sessions private:

• Soundproofing: Choose a toy that has positive reviews for sound, or go with a manual toy. Use a blanket, pillow, or towel to muffle any sounds that may emanate from your own pleasure.
• Storage: Store your toys in a discreet, locked drawer or container.
• Timing: Choose a time when you’re unlikely to be interrupted, just as you might for a meditation session. After all, orgasms are spiritual events.

We hope that by understanding the basics of different types of toys and learning how to masturbate safely can go a long way in your personal self-love sessions. Stay safe, stay clean, and enjoy all the good vibrations you’ll most certainly have cumming!

With Love,

Amara
