Cloud 9 Parties Gets Kinky!

Usually when we hear the word “kink” we immediately think of whips, chains, and dungeons.  But what if the word “kink” was actually just describing something that happens in our bedroom every time?  Think about it, sex involves the body.  Mostly we just concentrate on our genitals, what they are (and are not) experiencing.  But we’re missing the entire boat if all we think about sex is “genital play”.  That’s like saying that eating only involves the stomach, when it also involves the lips, tongue, taste buds, teeth, throat, etc.  Sure, the goal of eating is to “feel full” with your stomach, but don’t you enjoy eating much more when you savor the taste?  And for those who have ever tried a diet that involves bland, repetitive food, you know exactly what I’m talking about.  Eating is just so much better when you can enjoy it.

So let’s take it back to sex.  Sure, the “goal” of sex for some could be an orgasm with the genitals – involving the same, unimaginative routine every time.  But isn’t sex more fun when it involves the entire body and all of the pleasures it can experience?  That’s why our definition of “kink” takes the focus away from just the genitals and places it on your senses.

Kink is: “Exploring the senses on purpose”

By focusing on the tastes, feel, aromas, sounds, and sights of sex you expand your whole world.  No longer is sex a one-track minded event with a frustrating finish line to reach.  Sex instantly relaxes into more exploration, more attentiveness, and more hot, steamy, shared moments.  The couples that play together, stay together.  This is a proven fact.  When lovers explore together, they are taking risks together.  The more “safe risks” the couple takes together (like trying out a new activity together, taking a cooking class, or even taking a road trip for a day to a new place), the more they’ll learn to trust one another.  Risks lead to trust.  And trusts leads to intimacy.  So by making your sex life a bit kinky, you can add in “safe risks” to your bedroom that will connect you in a much deeper way than the ol’ plug-and-chug method.

How do you add in kink?

Start with these 3 suggestions.

Hearts of Fire

The Hearts of Fire:  This reusable instant heat massager can be used in sensual play to engage the skin with the feeling of heat.  Using the body for massages, caresses, or even tickles helps bring the mind’s focus to the skin instead of the genitals.  This is an easy way to kink it up. $17

Simply Sexy

Simply Sexy Perfume:  The power of smell is not one to take casually.  When we smell something, our brain registers it with a memory and then gives our body a feeling of either comfort, love, happiness, or even horniness.  The Simply Sexy perfume is not one for the faint-hearted.  The 3-note fragrance screams sex, especially since it is infused with pheromones.  Reserve this for the bedroom only so that you can engage the sense of smell to again, take the focus away from the genitals and onto the pleasurable body. $24

Pulsabath

The Pulsabath: The fun way to make the shower more steamy.  Not only can this foam ball clean, but it also vibrates!  Use your imagination and think about how much fun you could have with this added sensation. $22

Scent-ual Date Night Idea

Tired of the same old dinner and a movie routine?  Spice up your date night for free with just a little bit of creativity and a whole lot of adventure.  This scent-ual date night idea is sure to win you some brownie points and make for some great memories in the making.

What You’ll Need:

• An adventurous partner in crime
• Our Satin Blindfold
• 10 Goodies from around the house

What You’ll Do:

Explain to your date that you are going to play a guessing game using the senses.  You’ll blindfold them with the Satin Blindfold and then present to them 10 items they must correctly identify using only their nose.  For every item they “smell” correctly, they are entitled to one sexy item of their choice.  The more items they guess correctly, the more fun for both of you.  Be prepared to laugh — this game is one for the memories, for sure!

To take the Game to the Next Level:

While your partner is blindfolded, enjoy the bonus of having all of their senses heightened because one of their senses (sight) is taken away.  During the game you can heighten their sense of touch by not making physical contact with them at all.  Simply hold the object up to their nose and let them lean forward to smell.  By the 10th item, they should be so sensitive to the touch that any move you make will be amplified, so be strategic!  Fly around for a bit before making a landing.  But when you do, they’ll be begging for more.  Any product that is heated makes a wonderful addition to sensation play, such as our Hearts of Fire, Scandal Candle, Kiss of Fire, Making Love oil, Sultry oil, or our Pink Warming lubricant.

Did you know?

– The scent that is the #1 aphrodisiac for men is any type of baked good that reminds them of their childhood.  Apple pie, warm donuts, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies… they all trigger a VERY strong reaction.  Our Cake product line capitalizes on this and turns you into their #1 aphrodisiac.
– The #1 aphrodisiac smell for a woman: baby powder.  The fresh scent elicits memories of soft babies or cuddly puppies and kittens.  Our Bare Essence perfume captures this delicate scent beautifully (with an additional kick of pheromones, too!)
