Welcome to the Skinny Confidential, him and her. Aha!

If you really think about it, I mean, we're a little bit of like a Puritan society still, and it's kind of been shamed, you know? So, I mean, I think it definitely stems from there. And then, you know, so you're talking years and years and years, hundreds of years of this type of behavior. And then what, 20 years of, we kind of say since like Sex and the City talked about it. It's like 20 years since like, no, it's okay. Don't be ashamed. Don't be ashamed of your body.

Don't be ashamed of wanting sex, desiring sex. And so here we are. I mean, we're in a great place. It's getting better, but we have so much time to make up for. Welcome back. Welcome back, all you little freaks. Welcome back to the Skinny Confidential Him and Her Show. Sorry to call you guys freaks. Welcome back to the Skinny Confidential Him and Her Show. Sorry to call you guys freaks. It just seemed appropriate.

It's fitting. It's fitting. It's fitting for this one. Let's do an adult disclaimer on this show. We will, but in a second, if you heard that little bit of Eye of the Tiger, it's going to make sense once you get into the interview later in the show. Guys, welcome back to the show. My name is Michael Bostic.

I'm a serial entrepreneur and brand builder. Most recently, the CEO of the podcast network, Dear Media. And across from me, the lovely creator of the Skinny Confidential blog, brand, podcast, YouTube, and owner of Luscious New Lips, Lauren Everts. Hi, but you gotta find a new word other than lovely. Did I say lovely? Yeah, you say lovely every single time. Sexy, powerful. Scrumptious.

Scrumptious. Scrumptious. Guys, that clip was from our guests of the show today, Chad and Erica Braveman. On this episode, we're talking sex, a lot of sex, sex toys, sex in the bedroom, all sorts. And so I think it's fitting now to maybe make a little disclaimer. Definitely disclaimer. This isn't for the kids. We are going to continue to talk about hot button, you know, taboo topics. I just did an Instagram post about how I got my

lips filled while I was in New York. Shout out to Dr. Laura. She's going to be coming on the podcast and it's really important for us to continue conversations in all different areas. So this one's very fitting. We're discussing all different kinds of sex toys and sex toys are fun. Like they're great. Don't listen to this with your kids in the car though. Okay. And you'll get, and you'll hear more about that in a second. You know, it's funny. I was in meetings all throughout New York, meeting with brands and agencies, everything around the podcast space, Lauren. And they always say, Oh, some of them say, Hey, we listened to the show. And I say, Oh Jesus Christ, which one did they, which one, which one they heard?

Because if it's one of the ones where we're talking marketing and branding, I'm like, perfect. I can't be boring. You know what? I always have to throw in like a little flair. And so this one's super fitting for me. We talk about, I learned about the lightsaber. Did you know about that, Michael?

I did learn. We learned about it on the show. I know. I feel like tonight you should bend over and I should lightsaber you. Or we could just give it to Taylor and he can do weird shit with it. You and Taylor can go test that out later without me. No, thank you. So guys, yes, this one.

Listen, I don't know why we keep having to do these disclaimers. I don't know what's happening to our show. But again, if there's any children, kids, or even if yourself, if you're a little squeamish, a little bit not into it, go back and listen to some of the more, what do you call them, Lauren? Dip your toe in. Yeah, but if you don't want to, listen, if this type of subject gets you a little bit nervous, there's plenty, listen, we got 200 of these fucking things now. Yeah, there's lots of different topics.

I always say that our podcast is a bag of Chex Mix. You never know what you're going to get when you pull it out. It's a medley of things, okay? We never want you to get used to our content. We always want to keep it evolved. Do you know what I mean? Taylor, how would you describe this episode? It's probably his favorite one.

It was very interesting. And number one, I myself have used a sex toy before, as in the interview I mentioned. Again, I'm not in the interview, but I chime in here and there. And I talk about the fleshlight. So I have experience with sex toys. And I know that girls like it, guys like it, but it's one of the,

I think they do a really good job of addressing the kind of taboo subject that they, that people don't like to actually discuss that they do. I thought it was really interesting and I think everybody will probably walk away with some value. Okay. We asked you if you liked the episode. I don't know if you needed to go into that tangent,

but we're glad you did. Thank you for sharing with us that you've used a flashlight. That was a very hot piece of information. One thing that I thought was funny, though, now since preemptively I've listened to the episode, is in the opening he talks about if you're just getting into masturbation. And he's specifically talking about a male product. And after going through the episode and editing it, I was thinking to myself, I wonder how many people are this late in life and just now kind of getting into masturbation because i myself can would consider

myself a pro and most people my age all right you know cutting you off again cutting you off so again guys listen we clearly there's you know we get to feed i've never heard someone say i would consider myself a pro and i still to this day take time time with Lauren to title our episodes very clear, put in the description. So again, if you're somebody who's a little bit squeamish, doesn't like some topics around sex or some taboo subjects. I think our audience can handle it. I think most of our audience can.

But if you can't, now is the time to get off the train because this thing is going off the rails. We're going off the rails. Guys, okay, let's introduce chad and erica braveman they are the siblings and founders with their father behind the brand the online sex brand doc johnson is a california-based sex toy company it was founded in 1976 by ron braveman at the helm it is run by ron braveman and his son, Chad Braveman.

Enjoy. All right. Now let's get into the interview. This is the skinny confidential him and her. Little popcorn. So I just put some of this liquid vibrator on my lips. I'm buzzing.

I'm doing all of that. Do you feel it? I feel it a little bit. I'm turned on. We're getting a little stinger before we started recording. Guys, we're in the studio with a dynamic duo here. Erica and Chad Braveman of Doc Johnson. Yay.

This is going to be a fun episode. Yeah. Yeah, this is going to be a fun episode. You know when dildos and vibrators and lights. What is it called again? A stinger? This is a stinger. An electro stinger.

Describe this to our audience so they can really get a full visual. Well, Taylor just said that it looked like a lightsaber. So I think that's a pretty good explanation. It has a nice big handle with just a simple one-touch button. And then basically, you're going to use this for sensory play. So it has a sound. It has a look to it. You see the actual spark.

But it's not going to hurt you or anything like that. So it's just a lot of sensory play. But sometimes we want to be hurt. So if you hold it long enough, maybe it gives you a little sting. If you hold the button down, you can get a little bit more current. But definitely, this one is built for sensory play. There's a lot of electro stim stuff out on the market. And there is stuff that you can turn way up and you can do like the cattle prod play. But this one was

built as sort of an introductory to BDSM and a little bit more advanced than just like a beginner beginner, but someone that's definitely down to like do some sensory play. How do you know if you're a beginner? Well, I mean, I guess, you know, have you done it before? Uh, and like, what are you into? And like, what have you tried? Because you're a beginner examples. Well, I mean, I guess, you know, have you done it before? And like, what are you into? And like, what have you tried? Because you're a beginner. Well, you're a beginner at so many different levels, right? So I mean, like you could be a beginner to masturbation when you've never masturbated before.

So there's like products that I would suggest for people who are just starting out masturbating. But if you're going to talk about BDSM specifically, have you been tied up before? Have you been blindfolded? Sensory play and stuff like that, I think, is the biggest sort of like intro into BDSM. Totally. Sort of the DOM sub world of like commands and things like that. And then from there, you know, there's hog tying. So maybe you've had like the silk, you know, cuffs or something like that, but you've never

actually been like hog tied. So that's a little bit more advanced. Can you explain specifically what hog tying is? Well, I'll show you later what hog tying is. So I can do it to Michael tonight. Yeah. I mean, hog tying simply put is just basically bounding the arms and the legs together and then connecting those two.

Is it behind the back? Well, we did this morning. Behind the back. It's kind of like the, it can be in the front too. It's kind of like the barbecue pig. Taylor, have you been hogtied? I have never been hogtied, but I've been getting a lot of visuals. It's like the, what is it?

The movie Deliverance where they go squeal. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. Except we like to put like a positive connotation on it. Taylor, don't pop a boner over there, okay? We can't be doing anything weird. Taylor, keep it professional on this episode, okay?

There's like glass windows here, so. So, okay, let's take it way back. How did you guys get started in Doctrines? From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, this is a family business. Your father started it, is this correct? Yeah, family company. Our dad, Ron, started in 1976.

He started off in Europe, where they're a lot more liberal about sex. And he brought it to America because really there wasn't an erotic market at the time. Sex toys were like in a plastic bag on a shelf with like other novelties. But he wanted to brand it and bring it here and have most of the products made in America. I mean, what a unique industry. I think you guys have fun at work every single day. I mean, it's definitely more interesting than what a lot of my friends do, I guess.

You know, I mean, we get to talk about fun stuff. I mean, we make, you know, a really interesting product. I mean, at the end of the day, it's a business and it's got to run, you know, well, and it's got to be successful. But the product development meetings are more interesting than sort of your normal run of the mill. So, yeah, I mean, it's, it's gotta be successful, but the product development meetings are more interesting than sort of your normal run of the mill. So yeah, I mean, it's a lot of fun. So when you guys have a product, so you, I'm assuming you bring it to a meeting. Does everyone at the table try it? Like walk me through what that looks like.

No. So, I mean, we have, uh, you know, somewhere between like a five and 10 person product development team for different people that might be involved in those meetings. Sometimes it's salespeople, um, marketing, you know, uh, and then our product development and our person product development team for different people that might be involved in those meetings. Sometimes it's salespeople, marketing, you know, and then our product development and our R&D team. But we're always talking about products that we already have on the market, how we can make them better or new products that we want to actually introduce to the market. So people, you know, within those meetings, we obviously have a very open conversation about what the product's for, why we're developing it, who's going to use it. And then if you take a look at those people, you're going to find people that kind of maybe are more interested in certain things.

And they will try it. They will, you know, report back like what they found. Because for us, it's about like how does the product work? Did you find it to be friendly to like use? It's not necessarily about like, did it get you off? Because everyone's different with what gets them off. So we're not looking for like the best, like overall, like, oh, it made me orgasm as hard as possible.

It's like, we're looking a little bit more internally about like, how did you use the product? And was it friendly? There's nothing worse when I got a vibrator in the mail the other day and it didn't come with a battery. I know. Because you want it. Right. Was it rechargeable though? No, it was just a little pocket rocket. So rechargeable is hot right now, which I, I should also say that I use a pocket rocket on my face too. Have you ever heard of this? Oh, by the way, a friend of mine just told me that the other day, like I saw her put it on her

Instagram and I wrote her put it on her Instagram. And I wrote her back. And I'm like, that's a pocket rocket. That's my vibrator. Yeah. The pink one. Well, ours isn't pink. I mean, that particular item that I saw is kind of like one that's being sold on Amazon

as kind of a knockoff item of the original pocket rocket. The original pocket rocket's made in Japan. It's actually a really well-built item. But it's the same look. So it's the same look, you know? So it's the same concept. And yeah, she was using it on her face. And I texted her. And I'm like, that's my pocket rocket.

Like a jade roller type deal? Is this? I did a whole blog. Oh, no. This isn't it. I did a whole blog post on using a vibrator on your face. You buy one for down there and one for up there. Maybe you're not doing the dual.

Well, you could just use this one. What is this called? That is the i sorry the eye rock you're gonna get a lot of facial stimulation with that thing one of the things that we love doing on this show is maybe taking some i don't want to call this taboo but taking some subjects where you know there's people are interested like the topic of sex is always interesting. But bringing topics to light that are maybe not talked about as much mainstream, you guys have so much data and so much insight because you have your e-com store and direct to consumer of a massive amount of users and customers doing this stuff. What do you typically see in those customers? Are they people that are

more comfortable talking about sex? Is it people that are still a little bit shy about it? Like, how have you seen this whole sex space kind of evolve over the last 30 years? Well, it's definitely gotten more mainstream, but people by and large, don't talk about it. They're not posting on social with their new vibrator, no matter how cute it is. Unless they're using it on their face. Unless they're using it on their face. Correct. I posted mine on social. Which is amazing. I mean, there's, there's really nothing that should be taboo about these products still

i mean they bring pleasure to people's lives enhance you know relationships um why do you think why do you think that is that we're so shy to talk about sex as a society i mean we're not i mean i think in america more than anywhere else in the world that i i mean i travel all over all over the world for work and I mean, it's, it's way more taboo here than it is anywhere else. I mean, outside of like South America and stuff like that, but it's, I mean, you know, if you really think about it, I mean, we're a little bit of like a Puritan society still, and it's kind of been shamed. I mean, especially women, like women have been shamed for so long about their bodies, about their sexual experience, about their sexual desires, you know? So, I mean, I think it definitely stems from there.

And then, you know, so you're talking years and years and years, hundreds of years of this type of behavior. And then what, 20 years of, we kind of say since like sex in the city talked about it. It's like 20 years since like, no, it's okay. Don't be ashamed. Don't be ashamed of your body. Don't be ashamed of wanting sex, desiring sex. And so here we are. I mean, we're in a great place. It's getting better, but we have so much time to make up for. I am so about opening this conversation on all my platforms and talking about sex. Everyone's having sex. Like what is the big deal? Um, I hope that women are way more comfortable walking into a store and buying a vibrator for themselves and with their husband or their boyfriend or their

girlfriend or whatever the fuck it is. Totally. I hope, I really hope that, that we can continue to bring on people like you guys to open these conversations i want to know if my audience is listening our audience and they want to start somewhere with a toy what the toy is that you would recommend that's a great question to pop the cherry like together or like solo let's do solo and then let's also do together okay a pocket rocket is a great intro vibrator that's what i started with guys. Small clitoral doesn't go inside. So that's a good gateway to keep it on brand. Totally easy to use, very strong, discreet. So if you're still a little bit shy about it,

or if someone were to find it in the house, you could just always say it's your facial massager guys say it's your facial, you know know so like that i think that's the number one sort of intro to vibrators the pocket rocket um for a guy i would say a stroker you know i mean what's a stroker michael do you have a stroker i don't think so maybe i do now you will have you will after today yeah i mean this is like a nondescript stroker. Taylor, calm down. Obviously, we make them anatomically correct as well. Wow. This is amazing. I've never seen this. Wait, can I use this

on Michael or is it something he would use alone? Oh, no. A lot of couples play with it together. Wait, this is amazing, you guys. It's like Especially for our anatomical ones, it's like I've definitely heard couples and it's a really interesting way to like bring someone else into the bedroom without necessarily bringing a real person. Looks like a.

Yeah, that we've molded from a performer. OK, so backwards line, maybe I have. No, you guys, it looks like the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland. And inside is like kind of like little bumps, like massage beads. Yeah. And it feels kind of like a member, those things that you used to put your fingers in? Like the Chinese thing. Oh, the Chinese finger torture.

No, but it was like gel. Hopefully it's not like that. It was like gel. No, wasn't that what it was called? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you couldn't get your fingers out. Oh, I know what you're talking about. The ones that like slipped out of your hands.

The jelly ones. Yes, yes. Totally. That's what that feels like. Yeah. So that's a toy that you would recommend bringing in the bedroom with your husband. Or boyfriend. I would recommend... Or the bedroom with your husband or boyfriend. I would recommend.

I mean, one night stand for sure. No question. But I mean, originally I was saying as like for there's not it's funny. There's not as many products for men. It's true out there as there are for women, especially because for most of the time in our industry, it was like men were the buyers and women weren't really doing it because they didn't feel as comfortable. But if you look today, there's hundreds, thousands and thousands of products made

specifically for women, but there's not a lot made for men. So I would say all guys masturbate. So get a stroker. It has like extra stimulation and it's something that you can use. It has an amazing material. So it's going to feel really good, but you can definitely use that with your partner. This was a conversation that I saw in my Facebook group. People were asking, is it bad? They said that they caught their husband masturbating. And I went in and said, I think all men masturbate. Personally, for me, I think that's healthy for my husband to be masturbating.

Oh, definitely. So can you talk on that? You said all men masturbate. You want me to talk about it And I want to dig into that. OK. I mean, it's healthy to masturbate. It's definitely embarrassing to get caught. There's no question.

I've never caught you, honey. Listen, because I'm not embarrassed of masturbation. But listen, you don't want to walk in on me when I'm in the vinegar strokes. Sometimes there's the woo and the cocoa butter next to the computer. And you know what's been going on. It all depends on how guys masturbate too. I mean, I've only been caught once, but it was like, I imagine from those eyes,

it was not a pretty sight. I mean, I just know that. Taylor, have you been caught masturbating? I haven't, but you know what I will say? I actually did at one point in my life own a Fleshlight and I'm sure you're familiar with that. No, I don't know that company. What is that?

Who are they? Never heard of them. Fleshlight's supposed to be, I know you know, but. No, I don't know that company. What is that? Who are they? Never heard of them. I know you know, but for those listening that don't know, it's supposed to be this concealable. I'm pretty sure they know what it is. Yeah, you don't need to go into your. When you buy it, you think that it's small, but it's not. It looks nothing like a flashlight. This thing is massive.

No, so I am going to plug something real quick just because of that story. But so we agree with you 100%. We developed like two years ago a line called main squeeze. It's the same type of concept in the sense of like it's a discrete case masturbator. But ours has a squeeze functionality to it. So it's not just a hard case. And it's also a lot smaller because that item is like the size of this box. And you don't need to masturbate in the size of this box.

And I always think it's funny because they think it like looks like a flashlight. And so like it's discreet, but like it doesn't and it doesn't turn on. But nonetheless, I think that also one of the things we talked about earlier was like what's good about a masturbator is like training for guys because I know a lot of guys deal with, you know, some sexual hangups about maybe like ejaculation or like premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction. So a good thing to do with a masturbator because it does provide more sensation and more stimulation is to use it to kind of train yourself. And that would be like edging.

I don't know if you guys know. Oh, well, now that you mentioned it. So a couple podcasts back, probably like 300 podcasts back, actually, we did a podcast with Taylor where he talked about how he, Taylor, what would you call it? Edging. No, no, no. He was a one minute man. We have premature ejaculation. Yes.

So what advice do you have for Taylor in that arena? I edged the fuck out of that flashlight. Oh, God? I'm going to give you Taylor. I'm going to give you, uh, our, our special, uh, endurance trainer that we do in our main squeeze line, because it's, it's kind of designed specifically. And it also comes with an instructional booklet, like, you know, information on how to edge properly. What is edging for people that don't know what that is? So edging is when a man will stimulate himself and try to bring himself to like the brink of ejaculation, but before the point of no return to stop completely, you know, stop touching yourself.

No more stimulation at all. Guys can kind of press like right underneath their testicles. There's like a little tube right there. And guys can press hard on that sometimes and also help themselves relax. And then basically take as much time as you need before you start to re-stimulate yourself again. And then basically rinse and repeat. That is a sight that I do not want to walk into Taylor doing.

My favorite edging song to listen to is the tiger. Wow. That's so aggressive. I will never listen to that song again. Taylor, you are a dark individual, my friend. Taylor, I like you. No, Taylor's fun. Taylor's fun.

If there's a, if there's a edge training course, Taylor, I will pay for you to go to the edge training course. I will, I will put you in there. One thing we were talking about before we started getting into all this was there's a lot of women that want to bring maybe toys into the bedroom, but the man in the relationship is maybe a little bit insecure. And we've seen messages like that where it's like, hey, the man says, hey, I don't need this.

Maybe it attacks their masculinity a little bit. I'd like to kind of remove that taboo and talk to some women and men that are listening and talk about how it's okay. And it doesn't, I mean, I feel personally, it doesn't take anything away from my manhood, but a lot of men do feel that way. Can you speak on that a little bit? Well, you also have a big personality. I have a lot of personality, but yeah, no, but you know what I'm saying? Yeah, no, for sure. I mean, we hear it all the time. I mean, it's cliche now, but I do think we've been saying it for longer than anybody. But the couple that plays together stays together.

You know, I hear it a lot. And people find out what I do, you know, somewhere. And they'll be like, oh, I want to talk to you about something. And it kind of, if it's a woman, a lot of times it's that. Like, I want to bring something into the bedroom. I mean, what I tell them is what's your sexual relationship like now, you know, if there's never been any toys brought into the bedroom, then like start small. Like, yeah, I mean, I would say don't start with, you know, an anal toy or, you know,

maybe even a dildo, right. And tell, you know, your, your boyfriend or your husband that you've never played with before. Like I want DP tonight. I mean, you know, your boyfriend or your husband that you've never played with before, like, I want DP tonight. I mean, let's work there, right? And so like, we talk about a pocket rocket a lot as being a great introductory toy. Like the man can hold it.

It's small, it's discreet. The woman can hold it. It just provides clitoral stimulation. So the man is still, you know, doing penetration and having, you know, vaginal sex the way that he's used to maybe. And then he man is still, you know, doing penetration and having, you know, vaginal sex the way that he's used to maybe. And then he's going to see, I mean, what I always find is the guys that are nervous about it or have anxiety about it when they see their woman in, have that much pleasure during their sexual experience and orgasm, the way they can orgasm

with sort of like the blended orgasm of clitoral and vaginal stimulation, then they're just like, they're hooked. And then they want toys forever. And then they're calling me and being like, send me this, send me that, send me this, send me this going on our website. And it's being like, here's what I want. Here's my list, you know, and also what else should I do? I mean, sometimes you gotta bring in the reinforcements. You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, everyone's got to bring in the reinforcements. You know what I mean? Totally. Why not? Yeah. I mean, everyone's going to have a performance issue here and there or whatever, but it's also just about like fun. Like we're in the business of like pleasure and fun.

We want you to enjoy yourself as much as possible. I mean, if you talk about, again, with men, I said every guy drinks off, but the only, the other thing that every man does is orgasm. Like guys always orgasm. Women don't. Like, I don't know what the, like the latest study is, but I mean, it's about 37% of women who can't, who can only come from clitoral simulation, you know? And then there's 15% of women who never orgasm without the use of a toy or oral or other

things like that. Right. So, you know, the difference between men and women in that way is so huge that like you, you should bring things into the bedroom that are going to help you because at the end of the day, that's what you're there for, right? You're there for pleasure, you're there for connection. And what's a better connection than both of you guys having like the most heightened experience that you can. Well, I think that's really important for men to understand is a lot of time for women to be vocal about with their man is like you you might not have the ability to orgasm just from you know penetration you might need clitoral stimulation and if if a guy's not so well versed in that bringing these things into the bedroom can help

him get there we've been talking about a lot of fun things here a lot of toys you know what else goes well with toys learn what my sex, Michael? Sex toys, particularly.

I see all you guys watching it, but not a lot of you Talking about it. So let's be a little bit more vocal about it Toys have something that men cannot do with their penis. I mean penises don't vibrate Yeah, what the fuck your penises all don't vibrate. You know what? What's up with that? Yeah. What is up with that? It will soon. Yeah. I hope it vibrates. I told you I'm waiting for the robot. I don't think there's anything wrong with toys. I've been bringing toys into the bedroom since high school. Nice. I mean,

like have fun with it. There shouldn't be some stigma about it. Totally. And also like there's so many different ones now too. What is this, uh is this one in front of me? Can you explain this one to the audience? So the Trist. The Trist is a multi-purpose vibrator for couples. And it's also good for solo play. But it goes either, like, external, internal, around the penis as a vibrating cock ring. Waterproof rechargeable silicone. Waterproof rechargeable silicone.

God, these things are getting complex. So, like, all three of these. I don't know if we can see that. I'm just going to rip this box open. We have do not steal stickers. I have the diagram. So there's people that come in and try to steal sex toys? I'm sure. Oh, my God.

Really? Taylor? So all three of these pleasure points vibrate. So both of these ears vibrate and this vibrates as well. So a man can wear it like over his penis like this. These ears can vibrate the clitoris while this can also vibrate if you want it to. It's independent control. So this can actually stimulate a man's testicles while he's wearing it.

He can also wear it this way. So it curves around a little bit more. And then you have like this large bump that would vibrate the woman's clitoris and then a woman could use this internally she could use it just for clitoral stimulation either way use it for nipple stimulation as well nice um and a man can use it as well just while masturbating so there's a lot of different ways when we when we put this out to use this this is This is the number one selling item at Doc Johnson right now. Really? Yeah. We have to link this too in the show notes for you guys to

see. I would not guess that, but that's interesting. Look, we have a lot of, we have 20, 2000 SKUs, right? So we have a lot of products that cover almost every single category in the pleasure product industry. But, so we look at it in a lot of different ways. Like what we, we break it down categorically a lot more than most people do that just have a few SKUs. But so we look at it in a lot of different ways. Like what we,

we break it down categorically a lot more than most people do that just have a few skews. But like, for instance, this is just our number one in terms of volume right now. We have other ones that are in terms of like revenue and sales and things like that. But in terms of just sheer volume, the tryst is, is number one. I want to get specific with something. What is the key to a amazing, intense blowjob? And I want to get specific. Yeah, no, this is, I'm doing, you know, I am taking one for the team, all my guy friends, and I am, I want you to give us specifics to an amazing blowjob and you can include toys or no toys uh it just like the best bj ever and taylor you can thank me later i feel like um as some you should give your answer

as i imagine someone who's given them and then i'll i'll give my answer as someone who's only received i have a couple tips up my sleeve and then we can yeah so we can just kind of go around the table michael do you know what's so funny about this show? This started as a very business-minded focus show. Now we are going deep into blowjobs. I'm all about it. Let's do it. This show is like a check mix.

You never know what you're going to get. Yeah, that's for sure. So BJ's, I feel like sensory play is a really great kind of a way to spice it up. You know, put a blindfold on him. Make it so that he doesn't know what's happening next. In terms of actual toys, we have a good headline of products that are all about spicing up oral sex for men and women. This one, the deep throat spray, is good for gag reflex if you're trying to deep throat him. I think saliva is really important, too.

A little lube. A little lube. Spice things up. Yes. Lickable, edible. Yeah. Lube, good. I concur with everything she just said.

Yeah, I thought the sensory play was great. My answer is definitely more boring than hers, but I think it kind of goes for a lot of different sexual things. The same for me is two things is like letting go. You know, so I think like sometimes with oral sex, both male and female is like have confidence in it and just like let go and don't be like afraid to like let loose with it. So like make it sloppy, make it wet, like, you know, do all these sorts of things. Yeah. We all know what it is. I mean, come on. We're all, you know, aware of everything that we see and there's in porn is so much more prevalent these days and whatnot. But I mean, like let go a little bit more, you know, don't feel like it's something. Don't be a nun.

Don't be a nun. And then the next would be, and this goes for everything. This is such a blanket answer, but it's like communication Like are you with someone that you've given a lot of blowjobs to what do you like? Like do you like me to tickle your balls? Do you want me to play with your balls? Do you want me to put a finger in your ass? I mean, these are things that you can do that are definitely going to heighten orgasm or going to heighten sensation, but Communication is key Like don't do it if maybe you're not 100% sure that this particular guy you're with is going to be accepting of it.

Here's what you guys should do if you're out there listening and you're maybe with your husband. Put this podcast on while you're doing your makeup and play it really, really loud. I need some good head. We're going to do some wet head. Do we have it? No? Oh, man.

Taylor, do you agree with all those BJ tips? 1,000%. Honestly, I couldn't agree even more. Taylor, what are you doing back there? I love Taylor. Where is Taylor? Taylor, do you have any other tips? Tara's like, keep talking about it. Honestly, that's like the trifecta.

OK, I have a tip. I think the balls are so important, and I think they're neglected. I agree completely. I'm big on that for sure. I'm a ball guy. I think deep down we're all ball guys. I think so. But that's what I think.

I do know some guys who are like, I don't want that. I want the two-handed gawk gawk special. And you can't do that if you're going to one-hands with the boys. Lisa Renna taught me the coin, the twist the, the coin, the twist in coin. She, um, she wrote about that. Her book. Yeah. Okay. Her book taught me, um, you take your hand in a coin. I feel like I need to do this, um, like on Instagram story or something. And then you grip really tight and then you twist. Well, you got to do, you got to do a flick of the wrist.

Yeah. I feel like I didn't know that was like it had a name. But yeah, totally. Yeah, the coin. I'll cut up a fourth one. This is important. Nice. This is, again, this may sound creepy, but everybody should probably try it, is eye contact. The girl in eye contact while giving a BJ.

I think it depends. Done. Yeah, all right. Okay. He's like, only 45 seconds if she looks at me. Yeah, it's the best 30 seconds of her life. I'm going to send you home after this interview. I don't want to see you the rest of the day.

Okay, so since we talked about BJs, let's talk about going down on a girl. What are some really great tips? Turn this up if your husbands or girlfriends or whatever are listening. Be comfortable with it. You know, it's all about her pleasure. Don't think about it too much. It's supposed to be fun. And again, communication is so key here.

Listen, like talk to each other. Tell him what she likes. You know, have him talk to her and ask her questions. See what she's into and then do it. That was my, that was my, that was, I mean, I said it. I say the same thing for a lot of the different sexual acts. But what I'll say on this particular one, for sure, if I'm just going to add something to it is just go softer. Like at least in the beginning, just a lot of guys, I feel like go down there.

They're like too much. It's like, Whoa, calm down. It's like right from the jump, you know? So like definitely with that, especially, you don't, I don't know, I'm not going to speak for all women, but make sure that they're comfortable. Make sure that they're, you know, wet, that you've done some other foreplay things as well that are going to get them excited and get them ready. I'm not, no.

Okay. Keep going. Girls are going to be calling in. No, I'm happily married. Okay. But yeah, so just go softer in the beginning, like start out, tease a little bit, get her excited and you'll know, like, you know, when a woman is more ready and more accepting of what you're about to do and is ready for you to start going a little bit more aggressively,

you know, towards that point. But like, that's the one thing I would tell guys, Michael and Taylor, do you have any tips? Things are getting hot and spicy here. So before we get into that, let me tell you about ritual. Let me also tell you about my hangover that I had today. It was a bleak hangover. We were in New York all last week, and there was a lot of drinking and socializing and just running around a little too many margaritas this weekend. Do you know what I mean? The first thing I did when I woke up,

because it's next to my toothbrush, is reach for ritual. So I have my hydro flask by my bed with mint and lemon water, and then I have my ritual right next to my toothbrush. So I took two ritual immediately. I just feel like ritual is filled with everything from D3 to omega-3, magnesium, everything I needed to replenish. You know what I mean? I'm personally obsessed with Ritual. I tell you guys this all the time. It's a vitamin that I take every single day

because it's vegan, it's sugar-free, non-GMO, gluten-free, allergen-free, and every time I take it, especially when I'm hungover, I can tell a difference. All you have to do is keep it next to your tongue scraper, and it's so efficient in the morning when you go to brush your teeth you just pop two in your mouth swallow it and you don't get those chalky like fish burps it's gonna give you like this peppermint kind of essence because their cap is actually infused with peppermint so it's perfect so anyway ritual vitamins has no shady ingredients which we love and it's perfect for the obsessively researched vitamin especially for a woman woman. Okay. You're going to love this. I'm telling you, tell all your friends, it's an easy subscription to start. It's easy to snooze and it's only a dollar a day to have all the essential nutrients your body needs delivered every month, no strings attached.

Now let's get back to everything sex toys. Taylor, listen to these tips. No, I think everything you're saying is spot on. What I think is important is a lot of men and women are uncomfortable talking about this type of stuff. So they don't give themselves an opportunity to educate themselves around this stuff. We've been fortunate enough to have conversations like this on the podcast, on and offline. And so it's constantly learning and evolving in this stuff. We've been fortunate enough to have conversations like this on the podcast on and offline. And so it's, you know, it's, it's constantly learning and evolving in the space. And I think we work on improving in so many other areas of our lives, our business, our fitness, all these things, but like, there's not a lot of talk about improving in the bedroom.

And so people aren't talking. That's what it comes down to. Like you, like I said, like you want to be happy there. Like so many people I think are in not just sex, forget sexless relationships, but in like bad sex relationships, because like with the person that they're supposed to share stuff with, they keep that intimate stuff. Like they avoid it, you know? And it's like, so a woman's going down on, you know, her husband's going down on her boyfriend's going down and they've been together for how many years?

And like, she doesn't like it. It's like, cause she's never said like, Hey, you know what I really like, you know? And there's a, there's a way to have that conversation, right? It's like a way of positive communication versus negative communication. Like, you know, it's like, Oh, that'll never do it for me. You know? But it's more like, you know, Hey, you know what? I would really like love for you to try, like do something like that where you're kind of

like saying like, Hey, let's just try this. And then most guys will start to understand. Right. And the same for women as well. There's a way to have a positive communication about it so that like you're happier in the bedroom. Yeah. I agree. When Michael, so Michael and I met when we were 12. No way. Yeah. And so when we were in high school, I remember you told us a sexual rock star back then. No, just kidding. I wasn't. You're like a fine wine you've aged most guys do you said you told me

though when we were little i remember this i think we were like 14 you said that the way you learned about where a clit was is that your your your dad or google told you it was the man in the little boat i'm pretty sure it wasn't my dad but do you remember that um yeah i remembered that but i don't remember where i found that out probably i was I was a little perv back then, for sure. Wait, have you guys been together that long? No. Oh. No.

We'd have to be at Doc Johnson a lot. You ever heard that old joke? It's a long time. There's the woman, and she's on her deathbed in the hospital. It's kind of a dark joke, but it's kind of relevant. And she's there, and it's maybe her last night, and the doctor comes in and says, you know, you've got to come in and say goodbye to your wife. She comes in, and he says, you know, Betty, what can I do? It's your last night and the doctor comes in and says, you know, you got to come in and say goodbye to your wife. She comes in. He says,

you know, Betty, what, what, you know, what can I do? It's your last night. And she goes, you know, Bill, we've been together this whole time and it's been a little prude and I want you like last day on earth. I want you to, I want you to go down on me. I want you to eat my pussy. He goes, damn. Okay. So he does it, goes down. She has a great time. He goes goes home he's waiting for the phone call three in the morning gets a phone call okay this must be the doctor calling to say my wife's gone calls back to this doctor bill you won't believe this but your wife she's making a full recovery what the fuck heads down the hospital gets there she's laying sure enough wide awake feeling good

he starts tears in his eyes she goes oh my god bill are you crying because you're so happy that i'm gonna live he goes no i'm crying because i could have saved mom oh my god his jokes aren't aren't the best they're a little uh i didn't know where that was going yeah it is dark no if you are around him for a while and he's drinking like he will tell you these jokes till he's blue in the face. Incest jokes before 11 a.m. Yeah, incest jokes. We need rosé. All we need is rosé.

My dad did tell me that one, so thanks for that. Well, our dad thinks he invented the butt plug, so. Yeah, tell him on air that he didn't invent the butt plug. I bet your dad is a character. Tell us about your dad. Oh, Ron is, yeah. He's the best. I was having this conversation with someone the other day.

He's a fly on the wall character. Like you need to just see him when he doesn't necessarily know. Like if he's, if he thinks he's performing, then maybe not so much, but just his like natural, like the way he is, is like out of control. And give context to the audience of how you're involved with your dad. What do you mean? Like, oh, we work together. Yeah.

Oh yeah. I mean, so Ron founded the company and, um, you know, in 1976 and I started there, I started working there every single summer going into eighth grade. Wow. So like one year before I was in high school, he basically like, he grew up like normal, just like working his whole every summer as a kid and whatnot. And he just said to me, he goes, you, you have, you don't have to work for me, but you have to work for someone. It's good advice.

So I said, well, I'd rather work for you because I feel like I'm definitely going to get some. I don't want to go to work for someone else. Stories about when you used to work there. Oh, 15 years old. Your hormones are raging. How is that? 15 years old. I'm walking through their dildos and masturbators everywhere.

And, you know, I'm just like I was I used to put like I remember one time he called me into his office. I took like this, you know, the fragile stickers that go on like boxes. We have those, obviously. And I put one like over my like crotch area and was like walking around and thought I was so cool. And he like called me in his office and he's like, you can't do that. Like, this is a, this is a place.

I feel like maybe you stole a couple of things. Oh, stole. So I actually found, God, so gross. I found like a shoe box a couple of years ago, like three or four years ago.

And that was like at my house, like in my room that like I had, it was like some masturbator like definitely like a good head mint like you guys probably have people lined up for you though people are probably lined up it's fun birthdays are fun yeah birthdays are fun yeah what's that like our friends have gotten so spoiled right yeah i mean i just i just sent i like to send not just the stuff i love but like i also send like the 18 inch like dildo the fist you know because i feel like they're not gonna throw it away because like they feel rude about doing it so then like the fist or like the dick rambone

ends up like sitting in their home for like michael tell them about our game that we play with the big huge pink dildo. Yeah, there's this, there's one we, it's in the house hidden somewhere. We hide it all around the place. Lauren tries to always put it in my bag before we go to the airport. It's huge. It's literally like this big. It's like a foot and a half long.

It probably is one of yours. And we hide it in each other's shit. Is it a double dildo? Like a double dong? It's, I mean, it looks like a horse's cock. Okay. But pink. Yeah, but looks like a horse's cock. Okay. But pink. Yeah, but it's on brand.

Yeah. I love that. So we just hide it in the most random places. I want him to open it at like work or something. People wondering, like, this is maybe a side story to the conversation. How large is this industry? Because I think that would help give some context, like how many people are involved in this space? Yeah.

I mean, the numbers that are reported, I mean, almost 99.9% of the companies in our industry are privately held companies, but the numbers that are reported these days is about a $15 billion industry. So, I mean, there's more companies than ever. I mean, when Ron started in 76, I mean, he was one of three companies. I mean, the only one manufacturing in America. I mean, still is really. But, you know, it was all demand, no supply. I mean, he just blew up year after year after year after year, just like exponentially, like growth was like through the roof and like anything he made just like sold immediately. We'll buy it, whatever it is, you know, and he's just making all this stuff. He doesn't even know, you know, just like, oh, okay, we'll do this. We'll buy it, whatever it is. You know, and he's just making all this stuff. He doesn't even know, you know, just like, oh, okay, we'll do this.

We'll do it in nine sizes, you know, whatever. But today there's so many companies, so much competition. And so like, yeah, it's great. I love it. But it's a huge, it's a huge business. I think competition makes you better. Exactly. For sure.

It has helped us, enabled us, motivated us to come out with products that are even more on point for the demand. Yeah. And I think for an industry like ours, what I like about it is like, I'll pat Doc Johnson and Ron on the back forever. Like we've opened so many doors for people to come into this business for just to have this conversation in general. I mean, you know, Ron's done time for this business, you know, like he's gone to jail for this. I want to hear about that. Well, like back in the day, I mean, this was, you know, obscene, like obscenity laws. And if you were shipping products somewhere where there were zoning laws that it wasn't permitted or whatnot. And, you

know, I mean, Ron started a foundation with other people in the industry called the FSC, which is the free speech coalition. And I mean, it's a great organization that like fights for the rights of people in our industry, both on the video, the performer side, which is the Free Speech Coalition. And I mean, it's a great organization that like fights for the rights of people in our industry, both on the video, the performer side and on like the novelty side. So, I mean, you know, he's like blood, blood, sweat and tears. Like there's no question. That is so wild to think about that. Like just because you're, you're talking about sex back then or.

I mean, it's still, it's still today. I mean, JP Morgan kicked me out of their bank. I can't, I can't bank with JP Morgan. I mean, there's no one in our, no one in our industry can. Purely because mean, J.P. Morgan kicked me out of their bank. I can't bank with J.P. Morgan. I mean, no one in our industry can. Purely because it's sex. Yeah, because that's where your money comes from. If you make money from the adult business, you can't do business at J.P. Morgan. I mean, you can't do it.

I hope that changes. I'm going to call them out only because they closed my account personally, but that goes for a lot of other banks, too. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, a lot of these different banks, a lot of insurances like we can't get. And what's their reasoning? Just purely because it's adult. Yeah, it's adult.

Yeah. And then there's people that you do business with, too, that do business with other major companies that don't want they can't take on your work. So whether that's packaging or, you know, is that because of the like the credit card processing or is it because purely it's sex? No, it's purely just it's the adult business okay here's what you should do you should send a huge box i'm talking huge as big as this table to jp morgan with every different color dildo in it okay and you should say xo doc johnson xoxo yeah 100 i'll'll do it. Yeah. We're still dealing with that stuff.

But what I was saying was like, we opened a lot of doors, but what I love about the competition today is like, they're opening doors too, you know? And when someone opens a door for your industry, like you all walk through it. So there's companies that have been coming out that are like great companies and like make beautiful product or are doing something that no one else is doing. And so they continue the conversation. And now we're at a point where like, again, everyone's helping each other a little bit, and we're just making this whole industry bigger and more mainstream. And that's only going to benefit all of us that are, that are doing what we're supposed to be doing. Let me ask you this.

Are there any, we were talking about fetishes earlier offline. Is there anything that you guys think is too far or that you won't touch like hey that's not healthy or that could hurt somebody is there stuff that you guys just won't get involved in anything non-consensual is too far 100 yeah i mean beyond that yeah anything non-consensual and then obviously would if you're hurting somebody but it's not consensual you know that's too far. But I think seeing what I've seen, being a little bit more involved in not just the business, but also we did a partnership with kink.com

like three or four years ago, the largest BDSM fetish online content provider in the world. And just seeing more of the stuff that they do, actually having my eyes opened to parts of the world that I didn't really know existed. You know, whatever floats someone's boat, you know, at the end of the world that i didn't really know existed um you know whatever floats someone's boat you know at the end of the day if you're doing it if you're interested in it and you're too consenting adults then like and it's not illegal like have fun you know i mean for me

personally there's a lot of shit i'm not gonna do like i'm not into the electric even this like the stinger like i'm cool with this but like i'm not into like the electro stuff and stuff like that like i hate being shocked yeah i hate it you know and so like i'm not gonna use a dildo or a butt plug that like is has elect electrodes running through it you know i feel like unique fetish that you guys have seen i still get a little bit like we have this thing called a cock plug which goes it's like a urethral jesus christ yeah urethral a cock plug, which goes, it's like a urethral. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Urethral.

A cock plug. Yeah. So that goes. It goes like around. So do the ring thing that you do for your blowjobs. It kind of goes around, let's say the ridge of the head of the penis. And then it has a plug that swoops around and then goes in the hole. That feels like a catheter yeah uh yeah i mean it's

the same same but i mean it's basically like what's called sounding so it's the idea of having like these vibrations um a lot of time you'll see that it's metal and it's you you can make you can hit it and have these different vibrations that are kind of going to kind of run through the shaft of your penis but like internally i mean yeah there's something that like for me like i'm gonna die before that ever happens taylor do you want to be the human guinea pig for that one i honestly don't think i would ever be able to try that that would hurt yeah i mean that's so maybe don't start there if you're on the beginning level that we talked about earlier no i would that's not beginner that's super advanced i mean for me i don't know the ones that i find funnier like the furries and stuff like that and like it's an interesting world like the they like to dress up as like

stuffed animals and stuff and then like we make certain we've made like bunny butt plugs and stuff like that and other things were like so yeah like the little like my little pony butt plugs where like you'll put a butt plug in your butt and then it has like a colored horse tail or whatever so like that's cute like a pink one like i'm gonna stick and my little pony butt plug in your ass when you're sleeping can you send me one of those it might be a little too advanced a little too advanced yeah but things that like maybe were fed like what i like to see especially in my 15 years is like things that were fetishy that are now just maybe even more normal and it's like the things shift right such as like well benoit balls But I still think that's not fetishy.

I never found that fetishy, but it just became more mainstream because of 50 Shades of Grey. So you just put them in your vagina and you just walk around. Yeah. And you can get a vibration from the way that they move. They're also mainly for Kegel exercises to strengthen your vaginal muscles. I do Kegels every single time I'm driving at a stoplight. Yeah, that's smart. That's how I remind myself.

I just sit there and do kegels until it goes you didn't know that about me you learn things every day i learned something new every day on this on this show that's smart my other friend told me this is another tip you don't know this either that when the guy's about to come do a kegel like do 20 kegels in a row and that works well that's but that's you didn't even know what you's how you didn't even know what you were like. You didn't even know this. That's how you get that extra. She'll probably, she'll be, she'll be mad at me for this. I'm sure about my, when my wife was pregnant, she had a note on the inside of her car, like right there.

I drove it one day and I was like, what is this a note? Cause it looked like code. And I was like, what is this? It was like on her dashboard. And she was like, Oh, that's my reminder for my Kegel exercises. I love a note on the dashboard or at like a red light or whatever so like that's very smart at the red light smart 100 or in traffic which are always in in la but um male anal play was what i was gonna say like men doing prostate massage and things like that like it made me think of it

because you said you were gonna stick up explain mileloma pony. Explain milking. Milking. So that's when you're going to stimulate the prostate to the point of ejaculation for the man. And this can be done, sort of the technical milking is that you don't need to stimulate the penis, but you're actually going to heavily massage the prostate until a man is going to have an ejaculation just from that alone. And a man can come from his prostate, right? Yes, absolutely. I just had a very vivid image of like our listeners in their cars,

smirving off the road. Yeah. Taylor, have you ever been milked? I have never been milked. I'm sure all the listeners are taking detailed notes right now, too. I'm sure you are, too, Taylor. I'm sure you're back there. Taylor, do you have any questions about your case right now that we have the experts here? No, because we discussed it with the edging. I think that the standard training kit. Cock rings. Have you ever used a cock ring?

I've seen those at the grocery store before. Never used one. They're not at the grocery store, Taylor. What the fuck are you talking about? No, there are some really cheap, like, disposable ones there, Taylor. Don't buy those at all. Taylor, he needs a cock ring. Can you guys get him a cock ring? Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. We can give him one of our cock rings. So what I would tell

you, Taylor is, or for any guys listening that might have the same question, I would, the vibrating cock rings are great and they can be used for this purpose. But a lot of times with the vibrating cock rings, what you'll see is not as large of a ring because they really are meant to be worn more just over the shaft of the penis. But with a little bit of a larger cock ring and a little bit of a stronger density of the material, what you want to do is wrap it over your shaft and actually around under your balls. And then what that's going to help do is apply pressure to the perineum and to that tube

that I talked about that you kind of want to press when you're edging. And what that's going to do is not only give you fuller, uh, thicker, uh, erections, but it will help you with, um, premature ejaculation. Like it can help you sort of last longer. Um, and then also have much stronger orgasms, uh, when you get a little bit more advanced with how you remove it before orgasming, if you can kind of time it right, you can sort of release the pressure that the cock ring built up right at the point of orgasm and have a really intense orgasm. That was so much value. Taylor, did you listen to that? Listen to that clip over and over. Spit knowledge. Spit knowledge here, Taylor.

That was really a lot of knowledge. And you like explaining the actual parts too was amazing. I call that lymphatic drainage. No, Taylor, that is not lymphatic drainage. I don't think that's what that is. Where do you guys see this industry in the next five years? That's a good question. I see it becoming more and more mainstream. People talking about it, it getting into more mainstream shops. We got into Goop a couple of years ago. That was really

exciting for us because it kind of showed that we've come so far. I mean, that never would have happened 10 years ago. Yeah, that's badass. The online part of this business has drastically just revolutionized this entire business. I mean, more, you can say that about every industry, but ours, I think specifically because before online, our commerce was stores and just brick and mortar that I think a lot of women and maybe couples didn't feel comfortable going into. So the online allowed not just that outlet to purchase, but it also on the, it pushed downwards to have the stores actually like reinvent themselves as well. And you're seeing way more boutiques, beautiful stores,

stores like Hustler, even, you know, where like people sometimes think of the name and they're like, Oh, I don't know about that. That's that magazine. But if you look at the Hustler, like actual stores, like the one on sunset or the one in Hollywood, if you're in LA, like these are beautiful stores that like, you know, bring sex positivity to it and stores like good vibrations and things like that. So that's all arisen and become even more powerful, like since online, you know, commerce has happened for our industry. So I feel like seeing the doors that are opening for this business and being able to find it at some of these more mainstream stores, like Erica said, is going to be where you're going to see this

business in like five to 10 years. It's interesting. You know, when Erica and I were talking on the phone briefly before we set up this interview, we were talking about Woo and we built that entire business online. And it's interesting because 85% of the customers are women. That's so great. And it's awesome to see. I mean, we built the brand for women, but it wouldn't be possible without the online presence and telling these type of stories here. Well, and you have the direct communication. You know who's you know, and you're getting feedback directly on the product. I mean, for you, that's great. And for us, it's, it's great because of just the, the, the depth of the products that we offer. So we're getting information back on so many different categories

of product, what people want to see, you know, even with all the product out there, there's still gaps in the market, right. And there's still people not necessarily getting hit. I mean, I mentioned that I don't think there's a lot of product out there for men. There's a lot of product for gay men. There's a lot of product. There's masturbators, but there wasn't a lot of product for all this other stuff. We developed a brand called OptiMail, which is that vibrating C-ring for men's sexual health and wellness. Like it doesn't matter if you're straight, gay, whatever. I don't care. Like this was just for men to sort of give men a little bit of an understanding of how you can use products. So many men these days are more interested in their appearance, the way they look, the way they dress, and they're taking care of themselves in ways that I don't know men of the past were.

And you got to do the same thing for your sexual health and wellness as well. So there's a lot of gaps still. And I know that there's parts of it. I know what we're working on, you know, and some of the partnerships that we have kind of brewing and not only are they mainstream, but they're going after gaps in the market or, or audiences that aren't necessarily buying this product right now. Yeah. Like I said, everyone's focused on so many other aspects of their life, how to, where to improve, but not a lot of people put a lot of thought into improving sex. I'm going to put these toys in my pink box that I have under the bed. I have this

big pink caboodle. Oh, that's yeah. I thought that was like, I have a big, a big pink box. I'm going to put all these toys in there. Where can everyone find you? Where can they shop the toys?
