Sex toys are great, but to set things straight… just like any other thing in the world, it must be used in moderation. Sex toys can complement and improve your sex life whether it is with your partner, a group, or yourself.

AdamAndEve.com is America's most trusted one-stop shop for adult products. They've been around for 47 years providing people with their erotic needs long before it was mainstream.  #hipster

Long story short – they’re the trailblazers when it comes to sex toys, and we have their PR Director as our guest on the first episode of the year. Katie Zvolerin has been with Adam and Eve for the last 25 years. She joins the show to share some information on their products, customer base, and sex in general.

The specifics discussed in our conversation include:

• Being a part of a company that sells erotic products long before anyone did for 25 years. (04:52).
• Transitioning a business from paper marketing and toll-free ordering system to e-commerce. (06:14)
• The shift of their customer base with the anonymity brought by online shopping. (06:50)
• The stigma that wanting sex toys implies our partners aren't enough in the bedroom. (09:16)
• Advanced sex concepts like double penetration, butt plugs, anal play, prostate stimulation, and why enjoying pegging doesn't equate to homosexuality. (11:28)
• Slowly easing in use of sex toys into your relationship without scaring off your partner. (17:19)
• Understanding what cock rings do and what sex position is conducive to using it. (18:45)
• Her insights on the idea that sex toys desensitize women, and what she sees as the role of sex toys in relationships. (20:38)
• How women's bodily functions affect their lubrication and sexual performance. (23:43)
• A few IMPORTANT rules when using lubricants and sex toys simultaneously. (25:49)
• Men-friendly sex toys that are NOT just the fleshlight. (30:14)
• My sex stories (one partner who just discovered sex toys and one who does intense kegels). (34:09; 37:12)
• Some of Katie's recommended sex toys. (35:28)
• How anal beads work. (38:46)
• Dealing with returns, refunds and their 100% money back guarantee. (40:20)
• An offer you cannot refuse. (42:03)
• Katie’s sage advice to put the fun back into the bedroom and just enjoy sex. (42:57)

I really appreciate the time you spend listening to the show. To show our gratitude – AdamAndEve.com is offering Modern Sex Talks Listeners 50% OFF + FREE SHIPPING on purchases by using code SEXTALK upon checkout. If our conversation isn't enough to get you to want to try out sex toys, then maybe an amazing discounted offer will.

There’s still a lot more to learn about sex toys, but I’m glad we were able to scratch the surface of the topic. There’s too many types now and it will probably take a series of sessions/classes to learn them all. I'm really intent on making that sex toy-lubricant flowchart infographic to help with the education and also, people NEED it! I hope Katie and I can collaborate to create that.

If you have friends who are curious or are into sex toys, share this episode with them! They’ll enjoy the insights we’ve shared and they’d surely be interested to avail the BIG DISCOUNT. After all, sharing is caring.
