Sometimes, we need a little help in sexual performance and/or enjoyment. This is true of both men and women, and help in the intimate side of love can be great at any age or stage of life. Taking advantage of these helpful tips, tricks, and products can add enrichment to your sex life. Especially as we age, or when we begin to get used to our partners, adding a little sexual enhancement to our bed play can be a game changer. So read on to discover if you can benefit from these simple tips.

In women, the number one way to help with enhancing sexual pleasure and aiding in sexual experience is adding lubrication. Not only is using lubrication pleasurable, it is important for health. Any friction or penetration without proper lubrication can cause microtears and/or abrasions in the skin. These microtears can invite bacteria and cause an infection, and make it easier for the woman to get a sexually transmitted infection. Although water based lubricants are great, they do dry out quicker and need to be reapplied often to keep things slippery. You could also try a silicone based lubricant, as they tend to stay slicker longer and do not need to be reapplied as often. While oil based lubricants are also great for lasting a long time, they are not safe with latex products like condoms or dental dams. Feel free to experiment with different types, and even flavors of lubrication, to see what works best for you, your partner or partners, and the activities you are indulging in. There is a wide variety of viscosities of lubricants as well, mostly to appeal to personal preferences. You may like a lube that is thicker and will stay in place longer vs a lube that is thinner and will allow for more friction . It really is your choice and a fun way to discover the joys of great lubricants.

For the men, the greatest issue in sexual pleasure and confidence is the ability to get and maintain an erection. Arousal is complex, involving hormones and blood flow, as well as our mental and psychological state. One physical issue that we can help is to control the blood flow. If you or your partner is having trouble maintaining a hard, long lasting erection, a cock ring can be employed. A cock ring, just as the name implies, is a ring that fits around the base of the penis, or sometimes also around the scrotum, that helps to keep blood within the penis,  enhancing and prolonging an erection. Rings can be made of many different materials, and can even include pieces to stimulate the anus , perineum, clitoris, and even vibrate. Rings are safest when they are made of a flexible material, such as silicone for ease of fitting and removal, especially for beginners. A cock ring should not be worn for more than 30 minutes a session. While the use of a cock ring is a fun and sexy way to prolong erection, please talk to your medical care provider about any issues of erectile dysfunction.

We all may need a little help sometimes, even in these most intimate of settings. Feel free to contact the helpful and knowledgeable staff at your favorite Badd Kitty store for more questions about products that can assist in you enjoying your sexual experience to the fullest.
