Toy With Me Tuesday:The Soft Side

When I think of celebrating Kink in honour of National Kink Month, my mind goes straight to my drawer of leather debauchery and the many tools of painful pleasure that occupy their own space amongst my collection of toys.

But when I close that drawer and open the one directly above it, I'm greeted by an exquisite array of beautifully dyed rope just waiting to slip softly against the skin in all its knotted glory. It's a colourful drawer, doused in pastel pinks and peaches, soft blues and glossy greens; these colours are stretched and hung across the room from one end to the other, the endless possibilities emerging as our bedroom is transformed into a colourful nest of kinky potential.

Kink isn't always leather clad wielding a flogger in each hand in horrifyingly perfect form; it has a soft side, a beautifully naked side that embraces the soft exploration of boundaries and the gentle push of limits. 

It isn't always about whips and chains and the icy touch of metal on delicate skin; sometimes it's the warmth of comfort beneath the hug of rope and the simple sensations of just being alive to the experience.

Toy With Me Tuesday:Health - Inside and Out

I'm a big advocate of positive mental health habits - it's important to keep yourself in a healthy psychological and emotional state so you can do whatever important work you do - and do it to the greatest extent possible.

It's also important to maintain the health of your physical body - something I tend to forget once the cold weather blows in. It's too easy to hibernate the winter away. I've done my best to prepare for the coming winter season with a few new sets of hand weights and my first pair of kegel balls - the Dorcel Venus Balls.

Toy With Me Tuesday:The Colours of Fall

The garden is doused in burnt oranges and scorching reds that sweep across the yard loudly proclaiming the arrival of Fall as they rustle in the cold wind. The butterflies are most assuredly gone after last night's frost, but there's still one butterfly in the garden that's not fluttering away any time soon.

Toy With Me Tuesday:Freedom and Privilege

When I started thinking about this week's 'Toy With Me Tuesday', I wanted to take Ness' suggestion and talk about sexual freedom for a quick minute, because it's actually something that means quite a bit to me. I've been privileged enough to not only enjoy sexual freedom in (and out of) the bedroom, but I've also been privileged enough to be able to study sexuality in an academic realm. I recognize that not everyone everywhere has had the opportunities and privileges I've been graced with, and I want to honour that.

If I had been born a few decades earlier, my life's path would surely be quite different.

I might not have owned a Hitachi, let alone have been able to enjoy the wonders of orgasm. I might not have had access to my own library of sexual information, let alone been able to read.

This is my privilege.

Toy With Me Tuesday: Plugging the Starburst

I was actually a little stuck coming up with a submission for 'Toy With Me Tuesday' this week, mostly because I knew I wanted to showcase the Happy Valley Ergo Plug and highlight the vibrancy of its orange body, but I didn't quite know how I wanted to do it. 

I was still mulling it over when RS came home from shopping with a bag full of Starburst to fill up the candy dishes that we leave out on our mantle for guests (and our own snacking pleasure of course!) and voilà, problem solved!

Toy With Me Tuesday: Beneath the Shining Lights

For this week's 'Toy With Me Tuesday', I thought I'd shine a light on the Happy Valley Little Snoop silicone dildo. Its sleek black body fits right in perched atop the french industrial art inspired lamp that helps me read all the oh so sexy research studies that my degree requires while RS sleeps soundly beside me.

My lamp must be ecstatic to finally be shining a light on something decidedly more concrete than letters, words, and sentences. You're welcome lamp; you're very, very welcome.

The lamp, in case you're wondering, is an Ikea creation called the FORSÅ.

My First Toy With Me Tuesday: All That Glitters Is Not Gold

For my very first 'Toy With Me Tuesday' submission, it seemed fitting to go back to humble beginnings and honour my very first sex toy - my little silver bullet.

Silver is sleek, sexy and modern; with the right lighting, it glitters with a bright and shimmering reflection greater than any gold.
