Work From Home is a new vertical dedicated to life and culture in the strange and unprecedented situation of self-quarantine that many of us are dealing with right now. From what to watch to how to get a fit off and how to not think about anything, this is our guide to the great indoors. For updates on the spread of Covid-19 and how to keep yourself safe and informed, consult WHO and the CDC.
Let’s face it, seedy sex shops will likely never be a thing of the past, but no longer must we resort to frequenting their dark and dingy premises to elevate our sexual wellness.
Over recent years, a number of progressive and thoughtful sexual health companies have been revolutionizing the industry, recognizing that "wellness" in this arena means so much more than plying women with phallus-shaped plastic (let’s take a moment to remember that research shows that seventy percent of women require clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm) while peddling a very limited view of what “sexy” looks like.
New companies are instead prioritizing effective, elevated, simple, universal, body-safe design; heightening your sexual experiences; embracing self-care, and swapping outdated attitudes for sex positivity and inclusivity. They go beyond making products that can make you orgasm at the drop of a hat – it’s as much about the psychological as it is the physical, covering everything from toxin-free massage oils and conversation-starting jewelry (that can be enjoyed in the bedroom or worn to upgrade your outfit) to incorporating mindfulness and CBD into your next masturbation sesh.
Here’s your starter pack for greater sexual wellness.
