We were talking the other day to some old friends who mentioned they couldn't believe my husband and I were still together. I started thinking about it and I turned 32 in December, I was 16 when we began dating. Then it hit me... I’d been with my husband half of my life! Sounds crazy to think...
One thing that helps keep us together is switching things up a bit... thanks to Durex and Crowdtap for providing a large list of things to spice things up. I applied to become a “Sexplorer” on Crowdtap (if you don’t know who Crowdtap is you can find out at the bottom). Basically, Durex sends me a bunch of stuff to hand out to friends, we try them out and I report back with what we thought about the items.
This time, I did things a little differently. While I have a huge open line of communication with my friends about sex, I wanted to get different feedback from a different group of people. We were invited to a close friends’ New Years Party and I volunteered to bring the “party favors.” My husband was accepted to the Sexplorer program as well – I hadn't even known he’d applied so we ended up with LOTS of samples. We decided we would put stickers on the boxes asking for people’s feedback via email or text on what they thought about the products they tried. So we printed up stickers, placed them on the various boxes and set all the samples in a basket on one of the main tables at the party and hoped for the best. I wasn't sure with so many people drinking how the test would go, if people would grab them. If they did would they actually willingly email/text a stranger to tell them about the products they tried? All we could do was wait and hope...
New Years Day, I got my first reply via email*:
“Thanks a lot for the condoms. Came in handy and she appreciated the warmer lube and the ring. Let me know if you need me to test anything else for you."
Then a text:
"Samples were great loved that ring!"
Then another...
"Thank you SOOOOOOmuch for the lubes and condemns they felt amazin"
All was quite for a couple days until then another hot streak. Most comments contained: thanks, love them, hot, and tasty. The general opions that came in were great. I did have a couple people say the ring was a little uncomfy for him but for the most part both partners enjoyed everything.
I myself found the ring to be great, and hubby had no complaints. Only thing I didn't like was the Pena Colada lube and I just don't like coconut in general. If you're interested in applying to your own party, you can apply to be a Sexplorer at Crowdtap here:
