    Q&A with SSIS
     

    Dear SSIS,

                My girlfriend and I make safe sex a habit of ours, but I really wanted to spice things up for Valentine's Day.  How can we accomplish this when putting on a condom or busting out a glyde dam can be such a mood breaker?

                -Seeking Sexy Safer Sex

    Dear Seeking Sexy Safer Sex,

                What a great question. Lucky for you, there are lots of great solutions to your query. First of all, you might consider a different attitude regarding safe sex. Sure, putting on a condom may put a pause in all the action, but to what a great end! There's no better way to show your love and affection than by protecting yourself and the person for whom you care.

                In terms of making safe sex a sexier experience, there is any number of ways to accomplish this. You could teach your girlfriend to put on a condom, and she could do it for you. She could then explore other fun ways of doing this for you.

                To spice up the use of a glyde dam, you might want to try one of the scented vanilla and/or berry glyde dams that SSIS sells. For a little extra kick, try adding non-sugar based lube to the side of the glyde dam that makes contact with the mouth.

                For other safe forms of oral sex, SSIS sells a variety of flavored condoms, ranging from chocolate to mint to strawberry. Also, there are a number of foods that you could experiment with, just make sure to steer clear of sugary or oily foods if you will later be using latex in the region where the food has made contact.  These foods have a tendency to wear at the latex. For more information on good foreplay foods, come to SSIS' FOOD AND FOREPLAY workshop/open house on FEBRUARY 25 (Tuesday evening from 7-9).

                And if you are still looking for an extra Valentine's day feel, SSIS sells a variety of pink as well as red condoms!

                So you see, it's really quite easy to spice up safe sex so that both you and your partner are having a fun, sexy, and safe experience!

     

    Happy Valentine's Day,

    SSIS
