Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)

Warm your hands first, use more than you think and never pour hot wax straight from the flame. Alone, warm it up, take your time and let your hands wander.

If you're shopping, start with Sliquid H2O. Clean, slippery and no sticky finish. It's the bottle you stop thinking about, which is the point.
