Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Start with a smaller, softer dildo, cinch the harness tighter than feels necessary, and keep lube within reach. Confidence comes fast. Try it on alone in front of a mirror first. It's how you find the fit that makes you feel hot, and you will feel hot.

If you're shopping, start with SpareParts Joque Cover. It looks and feels like a pair of soft boxer briefs, and the O-ring holds the dildo steady while you move.

The one that stays put

SpareParts Joque Cover. Underwear-soft, machine washable and snug enough that you forget it's there, until you really don't. Wearing it solo for a minute takes the nerves out. Walk around, get used to the weight, grin a little.
