- A love note from jd and WSCValentine's Day has been around since 1537, and from the time King Henry VII declared it a romantic holiday until now, we’ve seen it change a lot. We now have “Galentine’s Day”, “Singles’ Awareness Day”, and even the satirical holiday a month later called “Steak and Blow Job Day”, supposedly created in protest to all those gifts of flowers and chocolate.

For clitoral stimulation, try Awaken, a massage gel made specifically to heighten the sensitivity of the clit- an area with over 8,000 sensory nerve endings. With libido-enhancing natural aphrodisiacs like ginseng, ginkgo Biloba, wild yam and black cohosh, Awaken is the perfect beginning for self-pleasure. Start with a pea-sized amount and massage your clit and surrounding areas, adding more if desired. You may also want to incorporate a clit vibe, like the Pom from Dame, a powerful palm-sized waterproof delight.

I believe masturbation and self-exploration are truly the gateways to better-partnered sex. After all, how can you express to a lover your likes and dislikes when you’re not quite sure yourself? Give yourself the gift of “me time” on a regular basis- your body will thank you for it.

Now, after you’ve treated yourself and you’re looking to spoil your lover, any of the flavors in the WSC Aqua Collection are a great place to start. Unlike flavored lubes of the past- and trust me, I’ve had my share- these aren’t sticky, don’t leave a weird aftertaste, and they’re perfect for ALL kinds of sex- oral, vaginal, AND anal. Plus, they’re sweetened with Stevia, making your mouth water even more. Try my favorites for Valentine's Day- Cherry Cordial, Salted Caramel, Mocha Java, and one of our newest, Cherry. Play “guess the flavor” with your partner on different parts of your body- or combine a few to make a unique taste all your own. Sharing a new experience in bed can spice things up, and it will also bring you closer, and let’s face it- quality time can be the best gift of all.

So here’s to you this Valentine’s Day. May your day be filled with love, and may your night be Wicked.
