FROM dildos to plugs, sex toys seem pretty straight-forward – just follow the simple instructions and you’re guaranteed a steamy ride.

But, according to an expert, there’s a crucial mistake all women make – and it could be dangerous.

Writer and news.com.au columnist Nadia Bokody has been exploring sex and debunking several myths, such as bisexuality, for a while, and over the years has acquired a relatively substantial collection of sex toys.

An expert in the field, she has still made the odd error or two in the journey, one of which she decided to share with her Aussie audience.

”About a year ago now, I made a terrible, terrible mistake,” she wrote for The Daily Telegraph Australia.

In the detailed account of events, she explained how upon leaving her apartment, she had gone through the usual list of to-dos.

”I closed my apartment’s blinds, double-checked the oven and hair straightener were off, and lovingly placed my favourite vibrator in its charging dock.”

The latter turned out to be a crucial mishap, as back then she ”still wasn’t aware of one of the biggest rules of vibrator ownership”.

This rule, she explained, is to ”never, ever leave a vibe on charge for more than two hours”.

”Though it’s scandalously uncommon knowledge, most sex toys contain lithium-ion batteries – the same kind you’ll find in your laptop – which are sensitive to lengthy charging.

”Leaving your vibrator plugged in overnight, or for an entire weekend, can create an unstable environment inside the battery, increasing pressure and ultimately putting your vibe at risk of burning out.”

At the very least, Nadia wrote, if your trustworthy friend doesn’t die after an all-nighter session in the charging dock, you will have significantly shortened its lifespan.

”And here’s something else you probably didn’t know: you should wait till the battery is low, but not dead, before reaching for the charging cable.”

This is because charging a vibrator from 0 per cent can be just as damaging – so it’s worth investing in a toy that has an indicating light to let you know when it’s getting close to running out.

If you really want to make your favourite friend go the extra mile, Nadia recommended avoiding charging it in a hot room.

”Heat is extremely destructive to lithium-ion batteries, and definitely not your friend when you own a vibrator (it can also degrade the silicone most toys are made out of),” Nadia said.

Save your vibrator’s life – and start reading the manuals.

Supporting Ukraine Through Purchasing Power: The Initiatives Keeping the Country’s Economy Afloat 0 173

Alice Trout

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian creatives are launching initiatives to keep the country’s economy going by harnessing consumer power. Spend With Ukraine is one such online resource that connects consumers to Ukraine-based businesses across various industries, while the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund allows for donations to support artists. Co-founder of Spend With Ukraine, Andrey Klen, emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian economy through purchasing decisions. He states, “Armies win battles, but economies win wars.”

Ukrainian brands are still operating and many are donating a portion of their sales to different needs to support the country. To sustain interest in supporting Ukraine through spending, increasing the visibility of these initiatives is key. As Klen says, “We want it to blow out.” These efforts not only help Ukrainian creatives but also support existing industries and provide a sense of normality in these difficult times.

Ensuring Safety and Consent in the Adult Film Industry: A Vital Discussion 0 258

Alice Trout

One topic that may be of interest to readers in the adult film industry is the topic of workplace safety and consent.

The adult film industry, like any other industry, has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. This includes providing a safe working environment, protecting workers from physical and emotional harm, and ensuring that all acts are consensual. However, the nature of the adult film industry can make it difficult to ensure that these standards are met. Actors and actresses may feel pressure to perform acts that they are not comfortable with, and there have been instances of abuse and exploitation in the industry.

To address these issues, it is essential for the industry to have clear guidelines and policies in place to protect the rights and safety of workers. This includes providing education and resources for performers, implementing strict consent protocols, and holding producers and directors accountable for ensuring a safe working environment.

Another important aspect of this topic is the importance of consent in adult film. Consent is a crucial aspect of any sexual encounter and must be obtained freely, enthusiastically, and without coercion. In the adult film industry, where performers are engaging in sexual acts on camera, it is especially important that consent is explicitly obtained and respected. This can be achieved through the use of consent forms and communication between performers before and during filming.

By discussing these topics, the industry can work towards creating a safer and more respectful environment for all performers and ensure that the rights and well-being of workers are protected.
