…A Love Letter that Was Sexy.

Why not put an erotic spin on the twelve days of Christmas? Forget stressful shopping and just spend a few minutes having a little fun. So from now till the big day, I’ll offer up my two cents on how to put the XXX back in Xmas! Whether you take my suggestions, or just use these to invent your own, I’m sure the lucky recipient will never think of the traditional song the same way again!

So start your Christmas countdown with a letter written from your heart. Spice it up a little with some sexy sentiments - you can reminisce about your first sexual encounter, what you find most attractive about your partner, and you can even hint about the sexy things you have planned. You can send a naughty greeting card, or email your poetic musings to your lover at work. If you go for a traditional card, consider adding these extra touches: enclose a pressed flower, scent it with your favorite oil or perfume, attach it to a discreet vibe and tuck it under the pillow.

People use household objects as sex toys all the time. From cucumbers to carrots to the occasional light bulb, (I wouldn’t recommend it!!) home made sex toys are useful when you don’t have the real thing around.

What about sex toys that are made into house hold items? I’ve stumbled across a couple fantastic examples of this recently and had to share.

First, a chandelier made out of high tech masturbation sleeves! (link) It’s not only beautiful, when disassembled it can make dozens of men temporarily harder. How useful.

And, a beautiful statement on AIDS from a Brazilian artist. She takes test-rejected condoms (yes, they really do test each and every one) and makes them in to couture gowns. They’re not particularly wearable but they look gorgeous. It almost seems like something I’d expect to see on Project Runway (you’ve got $100 and you’re in a sex toy shop and you have to make a gown….. make it work!). If you live in L.A., these gowns plus 10 more will be at the Fowler Museum until March.

I’m sure there are dozens more examples that I haven’t seen yet, but these are both fantastic.
