Sealed Section | The Ultimate Valentine’s Day Toolkit

By Aleksandra Trkulja
14th Feb 2023

Welcome to Sealed Section with certified sex therapist and clinical counsellor, Aleksandra Trkulja, in partnership with sex experts, Lovehoney. Aleks is a sex-positive and inclusive sex and relationships practitioner based on Gadigal land in Eora, Sydney. This is your modern guide to better sex and better intimate relationships. Today we're talking about learning to orgasm and dedicating time to self-pleasure. 

Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day with partners, Galentines with your friends, or solo self-love, V-Day is a chance to add to the pleasure toolkit. Read on for my suggestions for building your pleasure toolkit in time for V Day.

Firstly, toys. Toys can be essential for solo or partnered vulva and penis pleasure. These include clitoral/internal/dual stimulators, fleshlights, and cock rings. 

My pleasure toolkit includes a little bit of everything, including toys that accommodate to a variety of genitals, which makes it fun for anyone! I encourage toys of different flexibilities and materials, including silicone, metal, glass, or plastic.

My pleasure toolkit includes the Womanizer X Lovehoney Clitoral Stimulator, Lovehoney Beaded Glass Dildo, njoy Stainless Steel Dildo, Lovehoney Dual G-Spot and Clit Stimulator, and Lovehoney Bed Ringer Vibrating Cock Ring

Secondly, lube. If you have a skincare routine for your face, you need to have one for your genitals. In my professional opinion, it’s essential. 

My pleasure toolkit includes a water-based lube, which goes great with silicone-based toys, and still allows for friction. And a slipperier silicone-based lube, which goes great with glass and metal toys. 

Thirdly, protection. This is a must because it creates safety from STIs and unwanted pregnancy, so you can relax into pleasure. Condoms help to prevent unwanted pregnancy, and ‘doms and dams help to prevent STIs. 

If you’re like me, latex condoms can be a bit irritating. My go-to alternative is SKYN non-latex condoms.

Dams are protective layers used between your mouth and another’s genitals or anus. You can make your own dams by cutting a condom lengthways. Find one that tastes good, so do what I do, and lick condoms. Using a vegan option also helps to reduce environmental impacts. 

A pleasure toolkit benefits both you and your sexual partners. Don’t be afraid to include things that are new to you, and explore either solo or with others.
