Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Want something a little different? Tantus Silk Small. Soft, smooth and beginner-friendly. The perfect first thing to put in a harness. Sportsheets Breathable Strap On rounds out the top three.

Start with a smaller, softer dildo, cinch the harness tighter than feels necessary, and keep lube within reach. Confidence comes fast.
