The heat is turning up, not just outside but also in our love lives. Between beach vacations, rooftop parties, and simply wearing a lot less clothing, the season is practically begging for a little extra intimacy. Whether you’re with a long-term sweetie, or out mingling and a bit more… it’s a good idea to think about how summer conditions might change the way you have sex…

If you don’t own a harness, it’s a great thing to add to your sexual arsenal. People of all genders and orientations can wear them, and people of all genders and orientations can enjoy the pleasures of being penetrated by a partner wearing one. Harnesses open up a whole world of possibilities, too, giving you the tools to explore activities like pegging, double penetration, penetration independent of an erection, safer sex, and experimentation with different sizes, shapes, and textures of dildo.

Packers are prosthetics designed to create the appearance of a bulge in the front of one’s pants, helping individuals feel more aligned with their gender identity. Packers are soft, flexible prosthetics typically made from medical-grade silicone or other body-safe materials such as thermoplastic rubber (TPR), foam, or even cloth. Some packers are made from porous materials or materials with phthalates (endocrine disruptors that can adversely affect hormones). We’ll review how to ensure you’re getting a body-safe packer that fits your needs in a little bit.
