Romantic Date 11 - Pieces of a Puzzle

Pieces of Love

Buy a small puzzle and use a marker to write an invitation for a special date on the back of it. 

Over the course of the week deliver pieces of the puzzle to your partner. 

The day before the date, send your partner the final piece to solve where and when the date is. The date itself can be a puzzling activity - go to a murder mystery dinner, a costume ball or cuddle up and work on a giant puzzle. 

Romantic Date 10

Message in a Bottle

Grab an empty wine bottle and head for the beach at dusk.

Take a warm blanket and a thermos of tea (or tequila) and then write a message or poem describing you and your partner. Also include a good luck message for whoever finds the bottle. You might want to add an email address so the finder can let you know where the bottle has finally washed up. 

If you are no where near a beach repeat the process - write a note to each other, read it and then place inside the bottle. Break it open and read when you need to or on a special anniversary.

Adult toy of the month - Cock Rings

Introducing the VCR (Vibrating Cock Ring)

Je Joue Mio - Vibrating Cock Ring

A Lola Montez BEST SELLER!

Maybe you use them on occasion, maybe you don’t. Cock rings are one of those precious gems that most of us know about but never actually use, which is a shame. Rocco Siffredi, one of the most well known adult film stars and director is known for using a cock ring and let’s face it this is where men learn how to have sex!

Using a cock ring helps:

          * Stay ultra hard.

          * Helps him to last longer.

          * Intensifies your orgasm.

          * Make the unit bigger (temporarily).

          * Turn HIM into the vibrator – Oh Yeah!

Selecting a Good Cock Ring

Don’t go and randomly buy a cock ring! Just like picking out a pair of jeans, you need to take a couple of factors into account if you want to find the perfect cock ring for you. Consider how much you want to spend. One's that charge cost considerably more than battery operated ones as do rings in metal versus rubber.

Besides the stretchy vibrating types there are Essensually two types of cock rings:

·         Cock rings that are placed over the penis alone, at the base of the shaft.

·         Cock rings that are placed over the penis, as well as the scrotum (balls).

Which one should you buy? Only you will know because - It’s all about personal preference. 

We recommend you experiment and get one or both before deciding permanently on which one will be your ultimate ‘wing man’.

Here are a few considerations:

Materials

There are several different types of material used in the manufacture of Cock Rings. Whether they vibrate or not also affects which material is used.  

Metal

  

You often see cock rings that are made of some metal. Especially now that the whole 50 Shades of Grey erotic novel hit the scene, marketers are targeting guys to ‘live up’ to the bondage element in the book, Christian Grey, offering a wide variety of ‘hardcore’ cock rings made out of metal. Don’t fall in this marketing trap.

Metal cock rings can be dangerous because unless there is a ‘lock’ at the bottom (which most of them don’t have), it can be a disaster in case you stay hard for whatever reason and want to get it off- you simply won’t because the material can’t bend (obviously). Don't panic!

Word of Caution: If you cannot get the ring off take a Disprin or Asprin which will thin the blood and help. Use lots of lube –it’s a bit like getting a ring off your finger.

Leather

Another type of material you often see is leather. They usually come with a belt-like buckle or a Velcro strip to adjust the grip. Though it is nice to be able to adjust the tightness of the ring, it is usually a hassle to get them on and finally get the right intensity of ‘tightness’.

Silicone/Rubber

  

The great thing about silicone/rubber based cock rings is that they are flexible and adjust to your size automatically because the material goes right back to its original size when stretched out. This makes it easier to use in the heat of the moment and allows for a better fit. This is also the material used for the vibrating variety and a Lola Montez favourite!

How to use a Cock Ring

Place the cock ring on the penis when semi erect around the base (or base & testicles if you got that variant). If you are using a the vibrating variety keep the battery pack at the top (facing the belly Button) this will give her immense pleasure. You can also turn it around and let the vibration tickle your testicles. Keep an eye on the time for obvious health considerations. When it turns blue - you've had enough. 

I often suggest that cock rings can also be used around the fingers for a variety of different play, so use your imagination.

Selecting the Right Size

Selecting the right size is really only important if you are using a solid or metal ring. You don’t want one that is too tight because that will cause pain after ten to fifteen minutes (especially when taking it off) and you don’t want one that is too loose because that won’t help you that much.

As a general guideline:

·         If it hurts after wearing it for 5-10 minutes – its too tight.

·         If it hardly helps you get harder – it’s too loose.

You could measure your girth with a non stretch piece of string (when fully erect) and you will have a general guideline.

After use make sure to clean them afterwards with some warm water & soap or disinfection spray try Eva. Before using it again give it a rinse, especially if you have stored it in a red sock under the green jersey.

As a newby try the Bunny VCR it will make you go from zero to hero in only a couple of seconds. Then you can move onto something more substantial. 

TOP TIP: Remember to trim your pubes because they can get caught up in the process and if you scream like a little girl... not sexy!

Romantic Date 9

Play Hooky

Take a break from your usual weekday routine. 

If you can take a vacation day midweek together. While its business as usual for everyone else, you and your partner are shaking things up in your own little universe. 

You'll feel a thrill writing your own 'get out of jail free' pass for the day and doing whatever your hearts desire. Go to the movies, have a lazy three hour lunch, spend the afternoon in bed. 

Don't try to do a zillion things instead relax and see where it takes you. 

Romantic Date 8

A Classy Affair

Choose an activity neither of you have ever tried before and master it. 

The new experience will be yours as a couple, you'll be on an equal footing learning it and it can be something to look forward to. 

Try Italian cooking (any cooking really), glass blowing, banjo playing, rock climbing, photography, massage or scuba dive. And then plan something with your new found skill - dinner party, holiday, concert. 

Romantic Date 7

Built for Two

Rent a tandem bicycle and ride along the beachfront if you are lucky enough or a bike park. 

You'll have fun and you will have to work on your communication skills and rely on teamwork. The heavier of the two goes in front - you have to let the partner at the back know there is an obstacle coming or that you need to stop. 

Take snacks and a drink. If you really want to giggle - dress the same!
