This past weekend, I visited the Universal Studios Hilton where I attended the 2nd SHE, Sexual Health Expo in Los Angeles!  It’s a fun expo where sexual health educators and the most up to date intimacy devices collide! It’s open to the public, so regular ol’ folk can indulge in aaaaall things that are sex toy related and fill their minds with knowledge that you can utilize in the bedroom.

02072016 5721Just like most events/workshops or anything dealing with sex education, it’s a bit intimidating since sexual wellness is a taboo topic that you normally don’t indulge in.  But, I can assure you that in such a big environment with everyone there for the same reason, you’d get over it quite quickly.

The festivities began with a ribbon cutting and then the crowd hustled on in.  Once, I walked in there were a dozen booths set up ranging from sex coaches, folks who were more down with the spiritual aspect of sex, some fun impact toy bdsm booths, massage candles and of course, my jam… sex toys!!

I browsed for a hot minute before skipping on my merry way, since I already mapped out which speakers I wanted to listen in on. 02072016 5662Pleasure Chest was the Sex Ed Sponsor  that had two rooms available for Skills/Technique and Relationship/Kink.  There was a variety of topics that made choosing which room to go to a bit tough. If I had  it my way I’d be present for them all with such an amazing lineup from speakers such as Lynn Rosenberg, Koko, Psalm Isadora, Jennie Steinberg, Dr. Tamara Griffin, Dirty Lola, Amy Jo Goddard, Sex Nerd Sandra, Elle Chase, Erin Tillman, Charlie Glickman, Mollena Williams, Dr. Jessica O’Reilly,  Tristan Taormino, Dr. Hernando Chaves, Stephanie Berman, Dr. Patti Britton, Rachel Kramer Brussel, Miyoko Rifkin, Reid Mihalko, Allison Moon, Dr. Chris Donaghue and Dr. Zhana Vrangalova.

IMG_20160117_151747In between hearing the speakers, I got to explore the dozen of booths thoroughly.   Amongst them was WeVibe’s booth where I was extremely excited since I knew I was going to be able to take a look at the “Rave” their newest addition to the WeVibe Family.
Which turned out to be just as cool as I suspected. I was under the impression that the “Touch” just fast forwarded and grew up and turned into a big boy! aka they just made an internal toy that vibrated.rave_get_more They did upgrade and took it and ran with it, and made it blue tooth app controllable.  *drops the mic* I saw pics and blah blah blah, but I spaced and didn’t read the specs. (I don’t like to read about things that are too far out of touch.  Like, I hate watching movie trailers that aren’t even going to come out for 78237434 months, it’s the epitome of a teaser. I’m like a child and I can’t wait that long! :P)  So, as you can imagine, I was thoroughly impressed with the upgrades.  They came out with a rabbit too, but I wasn’t too ecstatic about that since rabbits lately haven’t had anything special to set each other apart. nova_animation The “Nova” has a very odd looking clitoral piece that I couldn’t understand why there was such a gap.  It looked like it was made for a chick with fluffy fupa to me. Normally, clitoral pieces rest on the clit, flutters and rarely puts enough pressure that I know a few gal’s want.  BUT BUT BUT… The odd shape works differently than I ASSumed. The Nova flexes with your body and bends against the clit! That huge loop isn’t room for the fupa it’s room to bounce back for pressure for those girls who are more pressure “crotch dj’s”!   EGAG BRAIN BRILLIANT! haha In my head, this toy now sounds amazing and the concept really made the difference if I wanted to try it out!

I dropped by a few more booths and snagged a some cool merch from candles to impact toys from Orchid and Serpent.

I really enjoyed myself 🙂 I can’t wait to see what they bring next year.

My only Bummers…

  • Unlike last year, the Schedule didn’t have a brief description on what each speaker would be presenting on.  I’m big on play on words and puns but the speaker’s titles on what they’d be speaking on was a bit tough.  It was a bit hit or miss since I wasn’t sure what exactly I was getting into or missing out on.
  • Room A and Room B.  They should have renamed it to “Corner A and Corner B”.  I did like that there as enough room for me to even hear the speakers, since last year I couldn’t even get inside the room to hear the main speakers I wanted to.  But, I felt bad because Room B was literally battling with the speakers from Room A.  It was loud and hard to concentrate.  A few of my friends… who are also big A.D.D. gals, couldn’t focus since vendors were only feet away and you had to sit in front of the speaker or else you might miss a word or two.
  • The amount of vendors was lacking this year. 🙁 I did get to see a few toys that were new and upcoming that I haven’t seen in person but I guess I just love surprises. haha I was hoping to be a bit more wow’d. I got done browsing the vendors in a heartbeat since there was only a handful.
  • Check in was a bit of a hot mess like last time, but it’s cool. I get over that aspect once I step inside.

Overall, I love the sexual health expo since it gives the public a chance to get in on the fun in one big arena.

In any relationship or friendship, communication p In any relationship or friendship, communication plays a huge role.  So, of course knowing how to communicate to a partner will not only enhance the relationship, it could also take a relationship to a whole new level. Keep in mind, Communication doesn’t always mean spoken words only.

Did you know that there is a thing called Love Languages?  ❤️ These languages are how you like to receive love from others. When, both parties know how to share what each other are feeling inside in a way they can both can understand. They can receive and give their love openly, and a relationship can flourish!

These are the 5 different love languages:
🧡1  Acts of Service
💛2  Receiving Gifts
💚3  Quality Time
💙4  Words of Affirmation
💜5  Physical Touch

So, tell me, What’s yours? 💭 Do you even know? 🤔🤍

Happy National Coming Out Day! 🌈 Almost a decad Happy National Coming Out Day! 🌈 Almost a decade ago, my parents were having a hard time coming to terms with my sister since she wasn’t in a relationship with a boy... it was so “hard for them”. So, of course... I told my mom, that me and my boyfriend (at the time) were going to go into the other room to have sex, in case they wanted to go watch. 😅 My mom looked like she was going to be a traditional Filipino mom, take out her flip flop and smack me with it for saying it. 🤪Complete shock. BUT, That got her attention. I told her, that’s the difference. The only difference was how we make love and it doesn’t concern them. so, what’s the difference between me loving a man or a woman? 
Nothing.
Love is Love. 
And in the end, 
Love always Wins.
Happy #NationalComingOutDay

I thought I’d share a few Taco favorites from th I thought I’d share a few Taco favorites from the Adult Novety world 😜

🟡 DTF Dice Game from @khepergamesinc “Players take turns rolling the dice and carrying out the various actions, like Finger Taco, Blow Eggplant, etc. Keep rolling dice until someone rolls the Finger/Okay Symbol combination. That player wins and gets to decide how the couple screws.” 👉🏼 🌮 
🟡 JACKITS® STROKER PAD is the Vamped up new version of @screamingo ‘s old Paco’s Taco Stroker 😋 I had to share that oldie but goodie since I used to love seeing that Novelty item. It even had Paco’s Taco Sauce 😂 aka the packet of lube to go with it. 
🟡 What the (Eggplant to Taco)? Game by @khepergamesinc A “fast-paced game of turning Emoji Cards into dirty texts” 🤣
🟡 Express Yourself Emoji Lollipops from @little.genie.productions  are a fun treat. A pink Taco lollipop is included along with an eggplant and peach flavored Peach pop! 🍑 🍆 🌮 I added a few @pinktaco emojis in there because every adult industry person knows @pinktacolv was a staple in your diet at least once, when you visited the @avn show every January. 😜 RIP Pink Taco 😋
🟡 Naughty Emoji Gummies, another epic item from @khepergamesinc is their emoji pack of gummies! In case you wanted something sweet after your taco meal 😋

When it comes to Tacos... I never realized how much it was a thing in my life until I moved away from Southern California for a brief moment in my life. Lol tacos is serious business out here. I’m talking real tacos... like Mexican street tacos status. 🤣 so real talk... what’s your favorite kind of taco? I’m team #tacosalpastor
