Self Love Comes In More Ways Than One

The message I promote and stick by always is surrounded by self-love. Whatever that means to you, for me it's completely loving yourself so that no one else can touch or influence your happiness. Self-reliant on you so that you know you're truly happy as the person you are, in the body you are in. Coming off (pun intended) from masturbating May, a month where we celebrate self-masturbation and self-pleasure, I want to continue the importance of self (masturbating) love.

For those of you unaware, May is Masturbation Month and May 28th is International Masturbation Day! This day was created in 1995 by a San Francisco sex shop (Good Vibrations), in response to President Bill Clinton firing the then-Surgeon General, after she suggested that masturbation be taught as a part of sex education. Since then, the day has spread worldwide, focused on creating awareness, conversation and acceptance of the often-maligned act.

It's important to know that masturbation is not bad for your body. In fact, it can be kind of good. Masturbation can release adrenaline, oxytocin, endorphins and serotonin - helping you regulate stress and boost your overall mood. The release of endorphins can also help you lower your blood pressure and act as a sleeping aid. Regular masturbation can also keep oneself sexually and physically confident.

I've recently discovered a shop online called sinful The biggest seller of sex toys and erotic products in Scandinavia. From their headquarters in Denmark they aim to inspire everyone to have a better and more playful sexlife. They have several shop across the EU and the UK Sinful.dk, Sinful.se, Sinful.fi, Sinful.no, Sinful.eu , Sinful.fr Sinful.co.uk

Intrigued, I've been fortunate to try a few products. The Lelo range is one I've seen but yet to try. I'd say the high end designer of sex toys I've heard rave reviews of the LELO sona cruise clit stimulator and it did not disappoint. When I have a moment to myself I really like to set the scene. Romanising my life, I often light some candles and make a safe and relaxing space. When I saw LELO's warming massage candle I knew I had to try it. The massage candle consists of solidified massage oil. Once Light, you leave melt the oil, blow the candle out and pour the warm and liquid massage oil out onto the body. Perfect to relax with but give some self-massage with, or to use with a partner. Don't be afraid to reach for the lube either ladies, one your own or with a partner. If you need it you need it, just spread a drop on the surface of your favourite toy and enjoy a silky smooth glide that enhances all sensations. psst It is compatible with condoms of all kinds, pleasantly sensitive, extremely skin-friendly and highly effective. As it's water based it neither stains nor feels sticky in use, and you can wash it off your skin with water. When cleaning your toys, I always recommend using a sex toy cleaner as well, and Sinfuls clean spray has an antibacterial effect and can be used on sex toys of all materials, including silicone, rubber, and latex. it's a neutral scent and is free of perfume and alcohol. Simply pray 1-2 times directly on your sex toy, wait one minute and rinse off under the tap. It's worth mentioning that cleaning your sex toys thoroughly after use extends their life span and ensures they are ready for use whenever the mood strikes you.

So what's there to wait for?  Set a date, make your favourite dinner, watch your favourite show, light some candles and give yourself a hand after an entire evening of self-love. **
