Have you checked your calendar? It’s almost 2012. That means things have changed since the days you relied on a little box of condoms in a cut-out bible tucked in your night-stand drawer. Embrace the new sexiness and lace up your bedroom with some critical accessories.

1. Sharing is caring. Sex toys aren’t just for girls anymore. Launching November 1st, the We-Vibe® 3 is an absolute must-have for any couple thinking of going the extra mile. With six vibrations and now with a wireless remote control, you can both feel the vibrations while doing the deed. Talk about some close contact, this little buddy knows how to heat things up. Visit the We-Vibe® 3 site and pre-order now!

2. Give yourself a little love. Is it just me or has it somehow become unattractive to men if you don’t masturbate? Guys want to know that you’ve experimented with your own body because they don’t want all the pressure on your pleasure. So give him a hand, and treat yourself to a luxe 6” vibrator with a selection of vibrations from LELO. Check out Lelo.com for more details on the Insignia collection.

3.
Relax and unwind. Don’t limit sensual massages to a date at the spa. You can have a lot of fun with heated massage oils and lotions with your partner in the comfort of your own home. Apparently making out during a movie doesn’t happen anymore — we’ve thankfully graduated from our high-school days of foreplay. Word of advice: keep the Hitachi magic wand at arm’s reach.

4. A little goes a long way. I get it, we all want instant gratification. But sometimes it’s a little hard to multi-task when you’re focusing too much on how good you look naked. Whatever the case, clitoral vibes are the golden ticket when it comes to getting you to the finish line. You can’t go wrong with the classic 3-speed Powerbullet, but there’s egg shapes and butterflies for whatever tickles your fancy.

5. Give Him something to wear for you. It goes without saying that nothing is better than the real thing, but we do appreciate improvements whenever possible. Have your man strap on a cock ring so you can get the best of both worlds — who wouldn’t want a living, breathing vibrator all to herself?
