Pure Romance Summer of Skin

Summer is officially here.  It’s been blazin’ hot and humid here in Kentucky if you haven’t noticed.  With the sun and heat come a few of my favorite things:  cookouts with friends, fireflies in my backyard at dusk, lazy days at the lake… and bikini time!  While all of these things are fun, the can be harsh on your skin.  Don’t fret, Pure Romance has your back (or at least the skin on your back.)

Pure Romance has created ‪#‎SummerofSkin‬, a super fun social media campaign (running from June 21 to August 31) designed to introduce you to some of our amazing bath and beauty products!  There will be free giveaways, contest and prizes, and some amazing info on the great products we have for when the heat kicks up and the clothes come off.  For more information about the #SummerofSkin products, contests, and more, visit summerofskin.pureromance.com.

Personally, I don’t travel anywhere in the summer without some Coochy Shave Cream, Body Dew, or Body Silk.  These are some great skin products that you won’t know are essentials until you have tried them.  I usually have samples you can try.  Get in touch with me if you would like to see for yourself.

Of course, you could just see all of the Pure Romance line and have an amazing time with friends if you just book your very own Pure Romance party!  I am in the Lexington, Kentucky area and have a few open dates for the next couple of months.  Contact me asap to get your preferred date on the books.  Parties are free, fun, educational, and my hostesses earn some AWESOME rewards!  Who knows… you may even want to become your own boss and join my team.

Why Choose Silicone for Sex Toys?

The toys you can bring into your bedroom are endless.  They vary greatly in shape, size, function, AND material.  While it can be fun to experiment with differing contours and textures and vibrations, the quality of your toys shouldn’t be left to chance.  Don’t overlook the material that your toys are made of. The material that you choose may make the difference between a toy that lasts and one that gets tossed as a quick fling.  Why choose silicone for sex toys?  Read on to find out.

As you browse through the awesome Pure Romance catalog, you may notice that many of the higher-priced items are made from silicone.  Silicone is the standard in our industry for high-end sex toy materials.  The science behind this material is vast and thorough.  While I could tell you about it’s inception in 1901, its official name polydiphenylsiloxane, or that it’s covalent bonding creates a hydrophobic waterproof coating, it may be more interesting to you why a silicone toy is well worth the extra money.

Silicone loves your body temperature.

Silicone toys quickly warm to match your body temperature, so anywhere they touch will feel just right. Silicone also maintains that temperature longer than other materials, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the moment.

Silicone is non-irritating.

Silicone is a prized hypoallergenic material. That’s one of the reasons why it is used in so many cosmetics and personal products.  This also makes it a great product for people with sensitive skin or allergies.  Silicone has very low toxicity, and low chemical reactivity, so you can enjoy your toys without fear of an allergic response.

Silicone is durable.

You want your investment to last. Silicone toys are made for the long haul.  And to ensure your toy can go the distance, use only water-based lubricants or Pure Romance’s specialty toy lubricant, Simply Silk.

Silicone is clean.

Silicone sex toys are perfect for good clean fun. That’s because their non-porous surfaces are easy to clean. Silicone creates watertight seals, repels water and liquids, and will not support microbial or bacterial growth. To keep your toys clean and functional, be sure to clean your toy before you use it and after.  Pure Romance even offers the perfect cleaning product for you – Come Clean.

Silicone is soft and smooth.

Silicone is a perfect material to come in contact with our most sensitive areas.  It is a very soft, smooth material.  It can even be described as velvety. This texture is perfect for transmitting vibration, making every pulse feel that much more thrilling.

Growing Old Together

An amazing video has been taking over the internet lately, showing a young couple about to say their vows what they will look like as they age over 60 years with incredibly life-like makeup and prosthetics.  While the physical transformation is mesmerizing, the real effect of the video is in watching the couple fall in love over and over again as they imagine growing old together.  Get your tissues ready… I dare you not to shed tears over this one.

A group on YouTube called FieldDay gives this cute young couple an extreme makeover, aging them from their 20’s, to their 50’s, to their 70’s, and into their 90’s.  The emotional changes these two go through seeing each other in these different age states is BEAUTIFUL.  And the stereotypes that they discuss and imagine their lives will entail at each age is insightful and funny!  Both partners are entertained about how the male ages less gracefully along the way (his eyebrows are quite entertaining.)  It is also very interesting how seeing each other at different ages causes them to even imagine stories that may happen in their lives along the way.

These are real people, experiencing real emotions, about imaginary aging.  And their thoughts about their last words to each other will warm your heart and break it at the same time.  Prepare yourself.  Don’t say I didn’t tell you to bring tissues.

This is one of my favorite things I have seen on the internet lately.  In a digital world filled with screaming goats, laser cats, and Kardashians, it’s refreshing to find something insightful, beautiful, and thought provoking.

Pure Romance is about more than physical pleasure.  Pure Romance is about enhancing your entire relationship, your entire being.  To us, success has never been measured in sales. What we do is bigger than that. Our mission has always been to empower women. To give them a safe environment to learn about sexual health and to give them permission to know their bodies, strengthen their romantic relationships, and to encourage open communication with their healthcare providers. It’s these experiences that have made Pure Romance not just a company, but a movement to enhance the lives of women everywhere.

How to Introduce A Sex Toy Into Your Relationship

Pure Romance Sex Toys

Every relationship is different.  Some are more adventurous than others.  That’s okay.  Maybe you are interested in spicing things up a bit but you aren’t quite sure how to introduce a sex toy into your relationship.  It can be a scary idea, but if you go into it with the right mindset and focus on a strong relationship, you too can turn your bedroom into a playland!  Here are a few tips on how to get started:

Communicate with your partner about your ideas and desires.

Communication is the most essential part of any relationship.  Any issue involving intimacy should be discussed openly to maximize closeness and understanding with your partner.  Your interests and desires in the bedroom are no exception.  Don’t be afraid to express what turns you on.  Don’t hesitate to express your hesitancy with any subject, either.  It can be a little intimidating talking to your partner about it for the first time.  Try making it part of your “pillow talk”, and start with a statement like “I think it would be really sexy if…”

Share the toy shopping process with your partner.

This is both a communicative step with your partner and a FUN thing to do to!  Your new toy needs to be something that you BOTH will like.  This is also a great low-pressure way to break into the subject.  Don’t be afraid to have fun with the process.  If this is your first time using sex toys together, it’s probably a good idea to start small and work your way into it.  Luckily, we have an AWESOME website you can look at together to see a full selection of toys and vibrators that you can both enjoy!  You can also contact me privately and shop directly from my full inventory.  What’s my most popular couples toy?  That would be Jelly Tool Belt.

Start slow with a sensual massage.

A great way to introduce a little “buzz” into your night is to start with a slow and sensual massage. Start with your hands and slowly work the new toy into the mix.  The pulsations will help soothe tired muscles and send you to a state of blissful relaxation. Once the vibrator becomes a regular part of your foreplay, try moving it … lower.  You can really maximize your massage experience with some of our great massage products, too!

Take turns and share your toys.

When using a new toy together, take turns. Half of the fun is SHARING!  Let each person experiment with different hot spots on the other’s body, and guide each other’s hands to the spots that feel best. And keep communicating and checking in with your partner. A simple “Is this good for you?” or “Do you like when I …” can go a long way toward making your experience truly mind-blowing!

Proof that Spooning Improves Relationships

Never underestimate the power of touch! Cuddling, massages, hand-holding…we girls just can’t seem to get enough!  Guys too, although they may not be as quick to admit it.  But does loving physical contact after sex actually improve a relationship?  And can you actually prove this correlation?  Science says YES, and I say HOORAY, SCIENCE!

Some recent research at the University of Toronto Mississauga shows that a little post-nooky spooning can help improve your relationship.  The study, published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, shows that “kissing, caressing, and loving talk” after intercourse are all associated with greater sexual and relationship satisfaction.

Kat Van Kirk, Ph.D., a licensed marriage and sex therapist, says that the chemical oxytocin is likely the main driver behind this phenomenon.  Oxytocin is often referred to as the “love hormone”; it’s released as a result of pleasurable physical contact and has been shown to increase bonding. Staying physically close after sex can also act as a form of nonverbal communication. “It can help you relax, inhibit any sensations of pain—emotional or physical—and help reinforce to your partner that you are invested and committed to them,” says Van Kirk.

Other benefits include the simple fact that closeness can lead to more sex. “Cuddling can help keep you aroused for another roll in the hay,” says Van Kirk.

The study had some interesting results regarding who benefits the most from post-sex cuddling.  Couples with children has the biggest results, likely because of limited time for cuddling with each other during the day.  Women, in general, exhibited a larger benefit than me in the study, though men did report a noticeable improvement in their relationships and sex lives, too.

So you’re probably wondering.  What it the perfect amount of time to snuggle with your partner?   Aim for more than 15 minutes—that’s what the people in the study who said they were happiest with their relationships did.  Personally, I think that 15 minutes is simply not long enough, but hey, science, amiright?
