We can’t think of a better way to show pride by having great, safer sex and supporting organizations that help the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer community.

Massage candles are really a wonderful twist on traditional massage oil. They smell good, provide “mood lighting” and provide warm oil that’s all ready to go for your massage. Just when you thought you couldn’t get any sexier than that, we’ve got some tips on how to make your massage candles even hotter!

1. Don’t get just one! If you really want to set the mood, try getting a handful. You can alternate between big and small ones. If you love the big ones because they hold more wax or love the small ones because they’re easily portable, just get a bunch of what you prefer!

2. Use a brush. The Jimmy Jane massage candles come with a sexy brush that you can dip into the oil after it’s melted and then apply it to your partner’s skin. The body is a canvas! From here you can create swirls and curls and put the oil in the exact places you want it to go. Plus, the brush will feel great on your partner’s skin!

3. Add some tools. Sure, your hands are great tools for massage but adding a harder ceramic massage tool can provide a totally different sensation. There are also wooden massagers that are going to still feel firm but not quite as hard as the ceramic ones.

4. Blindfold them! Taking away one sense will heighten the other senses in the body. Slip a blindfold on your partner and then they can really feel every rub and knead on their body.

As many of you head off for summer vacations, you may be wondering, “can I take my favorite vibrator with me?” We get this question all the time, whether it’s tourists heading back home or hometown folks off to see the world. Here are some tips for traveling with your sex toys.

1. Make sure your vibrator won’t vibrate: the biggest problem for the TSA is if something in your suitcase accidentally starts vibrating. To make sure this doesn’t happen, take any batteries out of a battery-operated vibrator. If you have a rechargeable vibrator that has a travel-lock mode (like the Gigi or the Form 2) then put it in that mode before you head out.

2. Decide how you feel about having a conversation with TSA about your toy: If your vibrator is off, there’s a pretty good chance that no TSA person is going to single out your bag because of it. If they do, however, all you need to do is say: “that’s my vibrator”. Any fantasies of the TSA employee holding up your toy and yelling about it to everyone in the security line are just that, fantasies. If that interaction still seems mortifying to you, then check your bag so you won’t have to deal with it. Most non-vibrators shouldn’t even be picked up by the scanners except for the stainless steel Njoy toys.

3. Make sure you have the appropriate plug/adapter: If you have a rechargeable vibrator and you’re going to Europe, don’t forget that they have a different voltage and plug system there. You may need something to step down the voltage so you don’t fry out your wonderful toy.

4. Bring lube! There are a lot of lubes that come in handy less-than-three-ounce containers so you can travel with them easily. I recommend Babelube.
