I’m going to make this post short and sweet. Human beings are fully equipped with everything that they require for satisfying sexual activity. I recently visited Italy and happened to go into a store that sold kinky stuff (it was predominately a clothing store, ok?) and much of it was made of plastic. It all seemed kind of silly to me.

Some people treat sex like it was golf. When they start out as novices, they are embarrassingly bad at it, but they have a good excuse. The majority of us will get better at it quite quickly after a some practice but inevitably hit a plateau. Like golfers we have three choices. We can quit. We can devote ourselves to improving our technique. Or we can buy a bunch of fancy equipment that is supposed to improve our game.

Sex is not golf. The plastic items at your local sex shop will often have for novelty purposes only written on them. If you are married with children, there is one type of novelty that I highly recommend, which is some absolutely private time to yourselves.

The best way to make a poor sex life good or a good one better is to work on improving communication.
