Make Camping Sex A Hot Reality

Camping sex

Easter is just around the corner, and for many that means egg hunts and family gatherings but for many (myself included) Easter means camping! The merciless summer heat has died down (somewhat) and the school holiday crowds have retreated back into suburbia. I can’t help it, the minute March/April rolls around I get an unavoidable urge to pitch a tent and head out into nature. I have been camping my whole life, my first trip was when I was 3 months old (my dad fancied himself an adventurer) and I spent most of my childhood camping. As a teen I would drag my friends out, now my husband and my dog happily come along.

There are millions of camping hack listicle’s on the internet but I have never found one that gives tips and advice for the sometimes tricky art of having sex when exploring the great outdoors. I am here to change that. Please find below a collection of camping sex tips and tricks:

The bed

No matter your camping style (rough and tumble or glamping princess) the bed is one of the most important camping tools you will take with you, and not only for sex. It is hard to have fun camping (in or out of your clothes) if you have a sore back and didn’t sleep a wink. Whatever your preference; there is something for you. If you are a swag or tent camper, buy a size with enough room for you both. Also consider head clearance, you don’t want to be halfway through the deed when you discover you can’t do that move because there isn’t room. Get the double sleeping bag, the nicer air mattress, whatever you are planning on using think about how it will behave during sex.

The space

Campsites are crowded, whether you are paying for a powered site in a park or are hiking into the great unknown, no matter how remote or empty you think it will be expect some guests.  With this in mind it doesn’t mean that stops anything at all, just remember tent walls aren’t real walls and caravans and buses can squeak a lot with some rocking. Be courteous to others (no screaming sessions during the daylight hours… or at all)

If you are finding the campsite a little too restrictive (I’ve never been a fan of an audience) pack a daypack and head to a trail, a remote beach or somewhere a little more quiet for the day and go at it the way god intended,  out in nature. Sex in public has never been more secretive and convenient!

The cleanliness

This is the biggest complaint I hear about camping sex “I feel gross and I don’t want to do it”. I totally get that, I love camping but there is a level of dirt and mess you have to accept and for some that is a total turn off. If that is you or your camping mate, pay attention to the site you have booked, does it have good showers and toilets, are you near a river or beach that you can use to get and feel clean, if this is important to you make these things a priority when booking. If you’re like me and don’t mind as much, my tip is to take baby wipes with you, good for pre and post clean up, you keep a bin inside your tent or swag and no one is any the wiser. Baby wipes are a must for any camping trip but especially the sexy ones.

Adult toys

I camp to disconnect from technology, unless that technology makes me orgasm; I am not interested in disconnecting from that kind of tech! You can totally bring your toys on your camping trip but remember to think about 3 things:

Power

Charge your rechargeables and put new batteries in your battery operated adult toys (also carry with you extra).

Storage

Like I said, there is a lot of dirt camping, make sure you keep your adult toys in a dry clean spot, not only for the ick factor but dirt and sand can get into the inner workings of your adult toys and break them. ☹

Cleaning

To save any embarrassment at the amenities block tomorrow morning make sure you bring your anti-bacterial adult toy cleaner with you camping if you are bringing adult toys. That way you won’t need water and they will be spick and span for their next use.

I took a remote control bullet with us on our last camping trip and I can say that for the first time ever, I actually enjoyed hiking. ?

Attitude

Camping is meant to be relaxing but if you have seen a couple pitch a tent together, you understand how it can be anything but. Go into camping with the right attitude, make it about connecting with your partner and nature, don’t pick at her for freaking out about bugs, and don’t be shitty at him for not knowing how to light a fire. For the best and sexiest camping trips be kind and have fun, which puts anyone in the mood.

Pro Tips For Extending Your Penis

Man In Blue Jeans Holding His Crotch

I searched frantically for what I needed. Perspiration pooled on my forehead in subtle lines, and cooled simultaneously. A sense of urgency enveloped me and I was falling, tumbling through the midst of my scavenge, swathed in persistence and encumbered by my search.

When the Earth re-settled itself on its axis, I knew that I had found what I’d been looking for. I placed my hands gingerly on the red box, lined with silver and I held the item slowly into the air. An aura of secrecy permeated from the box and the ambiguity only heightened by a lack of any identifiable markers.

“Is this what you’re looking for?” I asked my client, who at some stage during my search had situated himself by my side.

“Yes! This is it, my friend!” He exclaimed as he pushed his sunglasses off his face and further into his wiry hair. We had struck veritable gold.

We placed the box carefully and delicately on the glass top table and centered ourselves on either side of the box to peer in at its contents. The client unzipped the red box with trembling fingers and what greeted us inside made us reel back in awe.

There was a contraption of sorts, spring-loaded with straps, soft foam and rubber. Next to it, a ruler, a blank DVD disc and a pack of bandages.

“Play the DVD” whispered the client, hoarsely. I kindly obliged and when the lights flickered on and the DVD began to play, a soft-spoken automated voice called out instructions on how to use the contraption.

“If your penis is over 5 inches when flaccid and stretched out you should turn the front piece or rubber strap around. If you are below 5 inches, the front piece can remain in its original position.”

“Separate the front piece from the rods. Place the ring around the base of your penis, and leave it there.”

“Place and tighten the strap behind the glans. If you are uncircumcised, the strap can be worn on top or under the foreskin.”

“Rotate the rods clockwise for a quarter turn and pull the rods outward to the desired length.”

“When you are happy with the length of the rods, turn them back counter clockwise listening for a double click.”

“When the rods are in the right position for you, push them gently back towards your body. You now need to secure the front piece firmly onto the elongation rods by pushing them together.”

“The Male Edge is flexible in its design. The device can manouvre up or down, in turn finding the most comfortable position for you. If you want to wear the male edge during the day, it can be worn under loose fitting boxer shorts and trousers. It can also be worn at night depending on your sleeping habits, as some men move around when sleeping and others lie still for the most part.”

The DVD ceased playing and it ejected itself. We were stunned but thoroughly informed.

“The Male Edge, huh…” breathed The Client. “This is the one. After 8 weeks I saw permanent growth and even after 26 weeks I was permanently thicker and longer. Because it holds the penis constantly stretched, it stimulates growth of new tissue in the penis, also known as cytokinesis.”

“What would the difference between this and a penis pump be?” I asked The Client.

He sighed wisely. “Penis pumps only allow the flow of blood into the penis, but elongating your penis with a penis extender such as the Male Edge allows for permanent growth in penis blood chambers to allow more blood to fill the chambers and thus for a larger erection in terms of both length and girth.”

I nodded enthusiastically. It made complete sense. We packed away the Male Edge box and its aura of secrecy and having learned from the wise instructional DVD voice, The Client was ready to embark on a new journey into penis enlargement. If you would like to find out whether this product is suited for you, it is recommended to read more information about using penis extenders.

Turning Your Oral Stimulation From Zero To Hero

I glanced down through the glass topped front counter and spotted the contraption out of the corner of my eye. I had just started working at the Oh! Zone Adult Lifestyle Centres and I was still trying to get my head around all of the sex toys. I bent down to pick it up, “What’s this?” I asked confused by what I held in my hand. “That sex toy is the Womanizer, it’s a clitoral sucker” I was answered. I looked at the Womanizer in my hand and considered it for a moment…

“Na, not for me.” I thought as I placed the Womanizer back under the counter and went back to work. During the following weeks I would be asked about the Womanizer by curious customers. I would explain what it was, talk about how it worked, how much people are meant to love them all the while thinking to myself “Na, still not for me.”

See I “know” what I like, I am a clitoris girl. I know what I like and how I like it and I just didn’t see the Womanizer working for me. I would regularly have women come in to the store and sing the praises of the Womanizer, “Amazing!” said one blonde lady with a big smile. “Life changing.” remarked another very satisfied looking woman. “You’ll never look back!” I listened and was happy that our customers found a product that they were so happy with but in the back of my mind I had big doubts about whether it would work for me.

When you first see the Womanizer you or at least I was confused. It takes a second to figure out because it doesn’t look or act like your typical sex toy.

At one end of the Womanizer there is an opening surrounded by a silicone cover. This is the end that sits on or around your clitoris and “sucks.” On the backside of the sucker you will find the power button. One the opposite end of the Womanizer you will find the intensity controls. The more I learned about the product the more I understood how it would be pleasurable but I just didn’t think it was for me, “I don’t like it when you suck on my clitoris to much so why would I want a sex toy that only does that” I said to my husband as we were talking about our days. “It might feel different with this” he offered. “Yeah maybe…but I don’t know…” I muttered into my glass of wine.

At work I would still have regular conversations with customers who love the Womanizer and after a while my “Na not from me” went to a “Well…maybe… ok.”

I walked into work one day worrying about what I could write about this week when a box was placed into my hands. “This is what you are writing your review on this week.” I looked down at what I had been given… The Womanizer… it was time.

The whole day I kept glancing at the box eventually I had to put it out the back in my bag just so I could get some work done. When I got home I sat excitedly on the couch with the box in my hands. I opened it and it was beautifully packaged. The Womanizer range is known for their great designs, some have skulls on them others are pretty, pink and covered in jewels. Mine, which is pictured above, is a beautiful black and white with gold trim. “It’s quite long” I said to my husband as he sat down next to me. He picked up the box “What’s the plus sign for?” he asked, “Oh, this must be one of the newer versions that come with a longer handle for easier use.” I was impressed, not only was it beautiful, well packaged and felt high quality but the sex toy designers had actually thought about the comfort of the end user (a pet peeve of mine with sex toys.) It seemed like the Womanizer was wooing me, and I liked it.

I plugged it into charge, “It might take a while… maybe tomorrow night.” My husband and I sat together watching Netflix on TV and catching up, all the while the Womanizer charged. On our way to bed my husband picked it up “I think it might be fully charged, that was really quick.” He looked at me “Maybe we could use it tonight?” I stared at the fully charged Womanizer, squared my shoulders and thought there’s no time like the present. “I guess so…” I said trying to seem unfazed and clam, while on the inside I was that mix of excited and nervous that either leads to disappointment or amazingness.

I got into bed next to my husband who was just plain excited and took the Womanizer in my hand, “I don’t know” I said as I started up the womanizer. It makes a distinct sound that gets quieter once it gets to work. I placed it against myself and was immediately met with a brand new sensation, it was intense and gentle at the same time. It was entirely clitoris focused but was also working deeper areas as well. My husband and I started giggling but soon the giggles changed to something different as the Womanizer went to work. It had been on me for about a minute when I felt a familiar building sensation, it can’t be I thought and then boom, climax.

The Womanizer gave me a climax I had never had. It started very centralised and then radiated out through my entire body. I sat back dumb founded and speechless. My husband kissed me and asked how it felt. “No words” I replied. “Is that a good or a bad thing?” he asked. I sat up, picked the womanizer up and replied “It’s a good thing…a very good thing.”

The BIG Deal With Bodily Fluids?!

Cameron Diaz With Mens Ejaculation

Does anybody remember the Sex & the City episode where Samantha is sleeping with a man who has, as she so eloquently puts it, “the funkiest tasting spunk?” Or the scene in There’s Something About Mary where Ben Stiller’s character has his semen dangling from his ear when met to go on a date with Cameron Diaz – who then uses it as hair gel? I also recall a scene in Superbad where one of the characters is dancing with a girl who is menstruating and is completely disgusted when he gets her blood on his pants. There seems to be a bit of a fascination present in popular culture with bodily fluids, and it’s mostly portrayed in a comedic way that sees semen, blood or vaginal fluids as something to be repulsed by.

Without trying to sound too dramatic or serious, I feel that showing bodily fluids as something unnatural to be avoided doesn’t do much good for people when it comes to their sex lives. I feel this because, quite simply, there’s no avoiding some form of bodily fluids in one way or another when being sexual with someone. If having sex is accompanied with something that we have been taught to be grossed out by then whether we are conscious of it or not, there’s a part of us that is grossed out during sex. The same thing can be said for smell as this is something that many people go to extreme measures to attempt to cover up and conceal.

Many of us carry so much shame when it comes to the way we smell and taste. We are sold products that promise to eradicate all our smells and keep us “clean”. From deodorants and perfumes to scented feminine hygiene products & genital cleansers, we are constantly inundated with the message that something about our bodily functions is wrong and to be avoided.

Talking with lots of people over the years all from a range of different backgrounds, I have come to see that many people carry some very negative feelings when it comes to their own or another’s fluids and smells. Many women are disgusted to kiss their partner after he goes down on them, many men claim to avoid kissing their partner if she has taken his cum in her mouth, and almost no one enjoys performing cunnilingus on a menstruating woman. I understand that this aversion may be for legitimate reasons when risk is involved (i.e. sexual health reasons) however with our most intimate partners when safety is guaranteed, I believe that it can be healthy to overcome this aversion.

When it comes down to it, we humans are animals and have instinctual primal tendencies that dictate our sexual behaviours and attractions. Pheromones are chemical messengers that are emitted into the environment from the body where they can then activate specific physiological or behavioural responses in other individuals. Whether we are aware of it or not, these pheromones can be what innately attracts us to our partner so for this reason, I say enjoy the tastes & smells as it can be an incredibly sexy bonding experience.

Just like I would encourage people to become familiar with solo self-pleasuring to get to know their own body before being intimate with someone else, I suggest that people give their own bodily fluids a try. Tasting your cum does not make you “gay” gentlemen (as I have heard many times from many men) and you are not going to be harmed from kissing your partner after he performs cunnilingus on you ladies.

It is an interesting thing to notice how people are often ok for their partners to swallow their cum or lick their pussies yet are not ok with the taste themselves. I recommend looking deeper into these aversions and questioning whether it may be something you wish to overcome because nothing compares to having a partner who loves the way you taste & smell!

I would not be a responsible sexual health educator, sexologist and sex blogger if I didn’t discuss safety & sexual health in the same article as discussing getting comfortable with bodily fluids so here goes. Sexual health screening is vital to ensure effective treatment and/or reduced rates of transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) & blood borne viruses (BBV’s). Certain contact with bodily fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions and blood can lead to transmission of some STI’s and BBV’s. Fluid bonding (i.e. sharing bodily fluids) in relationships between people who are known to be STI & BBV free means risks are significantly reduced however it is important to remember that exchanging bodily fluids with someone who’s sexual health status is not known carries risks. Exercise caution and use safe sex prevention such as dams and condoms when sexual health status is unknown. (See below for link to sexual health services).

It is so interesting to see how conditioned us humans have become believing that something about our natural state is dirty.  When safety and health are prioritised above all else, I say abandon the belief that our bodily fluids are something to be ashamed of and embrace the magnificence of all that our body does!
