Good Girls Have Needs Too
Discover what you enjoy
Life has been taxing. You’re done being bored and stuck in a repeat loop of activity. Each day is like reliving Groundhog Day, where you can’t change events but are stuck in the vicious pattern of dull, monotonous actions. You’re ready to try something new, but you are forced into certain constraints.
You ache to get a few minutes alone with your partner. A quickie will do. Perhaps in the middle of the day will be good. The kids are doing homework or have their pretty little faces buried in their own games. Maybe, just maybe, you can escape for a few minutes of “me” time.
You have to meet everyone else’s needs. The kids have needs, and your partner has needs, but you suppress your needs because you’re so busy catering to everyone else that you fall into bed exhausted, with nothing left to give.
But, you still have needs.
To get them met, you may have to take matters into your hands.
Likely, you just went somewhere I hadn’t intended, although there’s no shame in that either. To each her own.
Embrace your Inner Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow, through her health company, Goop, may have you thinking along the lines of wellness and lifestyle, but she’s mixing things up and making different noises these days. She sells vibrators, and this is a new noise for the company as Goop released its first vibrator.
For the $95 dollar price tag, you may be requiring a star-studded performance. The double-sided wand has eight pulsating patterns for varying intensity and enjoyment, as well as 64 different color combinations. Elle says:
“With all things sex, we always aim to help eliminate shame and encourage exploration,” Thira Burns, MS, Goop’s director of product development, wellness, told ELLE.com. “We start by listening to experts — and in this case, the best experts are women who are in pursuit of pleasure and seeking more. Through dialogue at past In Goop Health wellness summits, focus groups, and the response to our Netflix show, we learned that there was some simple utility missing from some of the most popular devices.”
Paltrow created the vibrator to ‘pass the time’ during lockdown, according to her comments on YouTube and Instagram.
Women like options. If the Paltrow vibrator price has you all hot and bothered, here’s another option.
Less Money, More Pleasure
All magic, and at a lower price. The Magic Wand has plenty of pleasure at a lower cost option and may help you solve your boredom blues. The pleasure tool is marketed as a massager of the neck, shoulders, and back.
The manufacturer, Hitachi, has taken great pains to distance itself from the stigma of its best-selling product. The Hitachi company has become a household name for electronic things: motors, air conditioners, car parts, and has its eye on nuclear energy, but recently pulled the plug on that endeavor.
What Hitachi hasn’t pulled the plug on is its best-selling product, a personal massager — ahem a vibrator. While its focus is on the pressure points throughout the body, its paired buying options on Amazon are lube jelly and handcuffs. It doesn’t take much imagination to understand which pressure points the company focuses on most of all.
If you’re focusing on the same kind of playful pressure points during your boredom and downtime, you may be looking to warm them up quickly, in the few minutes you can find, to make the most of every second you have, from start to finish.
The Magic Wand comes at a mid-priced option, and really now, when considering this kind of motor, you want to make sure it's going to last. Why not buy from a motor manufacturer? To keep your motor running, you want reliable performance that won’t let you down but will provide an ongoing uplifting experience for the times you have a little extra go juice.
The ad shows a package that is about as simple as it gets, a light blue, perhaps to offer a relaxing mood. You won’t find the Hitachi name anywhere on the box. Possibly Hitachi’s best-kept secret, the Magic Wand is marketed under the name Vibratex, and is reportedly the company’s best-selling product for more than 30 years.
The reviews may knock your socks off. Mostly 5 stars. One review, eloquently written by a husband, who had recently been left by his wife for the Magic Wand and the way her new girlfriend offered her a ‘pelvic massage.’
Final Thoughts and Tantalizing Tickles
For women, sex often comes with feeling dirty and shameful, and to have their desires fulfilled is a guilty pleasure. You’ve been bored lately. Now is the time to find your pleasures and enjoy them to the fullest. Yahoo Entertainment says:
“During these unprecedented times with many of us stuck at home and with so much uncertainty, overall stress and anxiety levels have risen to unprecedented levels, leaving many craving relief, even if just temporary,” says Jamie Leventhal, founder and CEO of the sex toy company, plusOne. Plus, he adds: “It’s been proven that orgasms help to melt stress away.”
You’ve been so good to everyone else. Meeting their every need. You’ve done a good job too.
Lately, you’re too tense. Too tired. Overstressed. Caught in a repeat loop.
And you’re bored.
Take a little time to yourself and retreat.
Perhaps it’s time to slip off to a bath in the middle of the day.
