Happy Saturday sexy people.
Even when I was single, I’ve loved Valentines Day. Not as a teenager obviously, when from what I can gather it’s harrowing for all involved. I remember coupled-up kids feeling embarrassed at being spotlit, or stressed out that both their girlfriends will find out about the other one. I vividly remember one popular girl I was friends with in year 9 whose football-team boyfriend got her a box of Thorntons classics, and not being able to comprehend why she was acting so strange, vacant and rictus grin-y. Now I realise she was probably in a state of high ‘horny sex day’ anxiety. Anyway I wouldn’t know what that was like because I was in another category of wistful teenage girls gazing moonily at boys with curtains and wondering what it might be like to get off with someone, let alone fuck around with any confectionary that wasn’t from Londis!
But now as an adult that understands love isn’t just about praline and fingering, I find Valentines Day charming. Of course we are able to honour our love for our partners, our friends, our selves any day of the year but what’s the harm of having a date in the diary as well? It’s fun, it’s festive, and spreading/celebrating/appreciating love can only be a good thing.
Let me be clear that all products, clothing items, hardware and machinery on this list are designed primarily with you in mind. To make you feel your most powerful, pleasured and sexy. Impressing, fulfilling or delighting anyone else is a secondary aim; a happy (née ecstatic) byproduct.
I haven’t used every single product on this list. I would encourage you not to guess which ones I have but that’s not something I can control.
