The goody drawer, or perhaps even a goody closet if you’re a collector of sorts, refers to the bedside table or nightstand where a lot of folks keep their private things. Whether it’s condoms, massage oil, lubricant or toys, the goody drawer contains our most sacred sexual items so that they’re within arms reach when the mood strikes. But how does one go about selecting the products that comprise the goody drawer, one may ask? With seemingly endless options, how do you possibly go about choosing sex toys that may be right for you?
- Get curious – the internet is a wealth of knowledge whether it be through reading articles, visiting websites or even porn, the internet offers an overwhelming buffet of knowledge on sex and things that aid it. Peruse toy websites like this one, read some reviews from actual users, and be open to trying different things. Shapes, sizes, materials they’re made of – remain curious and open while you select what you think will help you achieve your ultimate goal – orgasms. And a lot of them.
- Quality over quantity – you may be tempted to fill your cart with a variety of toys to test out which can be a great way to turn on that adventurous spirit. That said, if the product is poorly made it will go to an early grave and that’s money down the drain. It’s better to choose products that are made well and will have a longer life so you can enjoy for the long haul.
- Variety is the spice of life – choose several types of toys so that you can have a variety of experiences. Choose a few that works great for a solo session but also grab at least one that spices up partner play.
- Go to an adult toy party. Adult toy parties have become the modern day version of the Tupperware parties of years past. These parties, predominately attended by women, allow for the introduction of new products as well as a more hands on education of the varying “bells and whistles” by the hostess. There’s typically a lot of laughter, uncomfortable or otherwise, that accompanies these parties while people determine what product, if any, would be right for them.
- Talk about it – ask your partner what toys they enjoy using with you; this conversation will be sure to spice up date night! But also, don’t be afraid to chat about it at a girls night or with your best girlfriend. Crowdsourcing new ideas can help you narrow down the options which can make things feel less overwhelming
Curating your goody drawer can be a phenomenal way to add some spice to your life (did you also just hear the Spice Girls yelling “Spice up your Life!” run through your consciousness just now?) and your home. Knowing you have a treasure trove of pleasure within arms reach makes bedtime even more inviting.
