Which is NICE. Thanks, y’all!
Now: shopping suggestion time! Amanda and I collaborated on this post, so here are Amanda’s recommendations:
Amanda: I’m sure most of you have heard about Adam & Eve before through online ads or podcasts (they’re frequent podcast sponsors), but if you haven’t, they’re an extensive, online adult toy website. I’ve used them before to purchase things because they have a huge selection of items and their packing is very discreet. You won’t have to worry about any nosy neighbors!
They also usually throw in some free things to every package, whether it’s a complimentary DVD or a sex toy. I think in the past I’ve received a bullet vibrator and a cock ring. And who doesn’t love free stuff? (Dewey especially loves a good cock ring.)
But because there’s such a wide selection of items, browsing the site can be a bit daunting, so here are a few top notch items I’d recommend.
For Her
Hitachi Magic Wand: We’ve talked about the Hitachi before and I’d liken it to the Rolls Royce of sex toys. It’s powerful, intense, and you can buy different massaging heads for it. Be forewarned that the motor is a little noisy, so hopefully you live alone or can plan some me time around your housemates’ schedules.
Bullet of Love: I’m a huge proponent of bullet vibrators, because let’s be real, a small percentage of women orgasm from penetration alone. I like this particular bullet from Adam & Eve because it has 10 settings (my current one only has seven!) and it comes with a textured sleeve you can use. Some reviews mention that the battery life is a little low, so maybe stock up on some AAA, which Adam & Eve also sells.
Rabbit vibrators: I have a love/hate relationship with these things, as sometimes they’re too bulky or I can’t get the rabbit where it’s supposed to go. However, Adam & Eve has a best-selling silicone rabbit vibrator and I definitely prefer the silicone to the standard rabbit setups.
My friend has a more traditional rabbit with a rotating head that she swears by.
For Him
Prostate toys: There are fewer options for men compared what they have for women and couples. But I’m really interested in this particular toy, given the material, size, and vibrating ability. And do please remember, Bitchery, if you’re doing any butt stuff, ALWAYS USE TOYS WITH A FLARED BASE!
Bondage: This whip is really similar to one that I bought at my local sex shop, in both style and design. Funny story: when I went to purchase my whip, a very kind gentleman in the store let me try it out on his arm and then did it in return to me (consent was asked!) to get a feel for it. I really like the vegan leather and honestly, the bark is worse than the bite.
Kits: Something that I think is super cool is that Adam & Eve will put together kits depending on what you want. There are kits for anal play, S&M play, and even a kit to make a dildo out of your partner’s penis. The variety is ever-reaching!
Sarah: Elyse did a candid podcast interview with me about living with chronic pain, and one of the subjects we discussed was sexxytimes, and accommodating chronic illness. She specifically mentioned comfort accommodations for the sexxytimes, as did several commenters.
This inflatable wedge pillow is $30, is 24” by 16” when inflated, and has handles on the sides. Inflatable means easy to store, and the size means there’s plenty of room for experimentation or accommodation, too.
Finally, this is the neatest thing and would make a terrific gift: a candle made of special wax that melts into massage oil.
Thanks to Adam and Eve for the coupon, and for sponsoring this post! And if you used Adam and Eve before, what products would you recommend to readers?
Adam & Eve also has a pretty nice collection of adult DVDs. If you do order from them, be prepared to get a lot of mailings from them.
The combo of these two items is

Don’t be afraid of the glass, once you try it you’ll never go back. Super easy to clean & you can heat it with warm water or put it in the fridge for a different sensation.
Welp, there were supposed to be fire emojis after the word is in my previous post. Just pretend that they’re there.
How long will the discount/coupon be good for? I’m going to be away from home and spouse tonight, and would like to *cough* discuss possibilities with them before buying something.
@Lara:
The coupon will be valid for a good long while, so shop and confer as long as you need!
