sonicringI read Dan Savage's column Savage Love because it's sometimes funny and sometimes difficult, but always familiar. Many of the questions that Dan gets I hear as I'm talking with people in our stores. I've talked to more people who were nervous about being tied up or didn't feel like they were wet enough more times than I can count.What's hardest for me is talking with people who feel that they aren't having enough pleasure in their sex lives or that something is wrong with them. Many times these people have a way of getting off that works for them but they feel that it's not the "right" way to have orgasms.Let me say this here and now: there is no wrong way to have an orgasm. Fingers, tongues, couches, vibrators, shower heads and whatever else people need is just that - what they need. Plain and simple. We are taught our whole lives that there are certain things that everyone likes and always wants to do but that just isn't how it works in real life. One of the things I've learned the most in this job is just how different people are. Our differences are what make sex fun and allow us to experiment and grow as a lover.That's why I was happy to read the third question in this week's Savage Love column. Dan lays it out and then gives the questioner a solid place to go for some help - Babeland! The vibrating cockrings that he mentions are just one of the many things that can help people find the best and most comfortable ways to have pleasure that makes them feel fantastic.So here's to loving your body and giving it what it needs. Taking care of ourselves isn't just about the food we eat or how much sleep we get. It's about enjoying all of the intricacies of what gives us pleasure.
