Gift Giving, Sexuality, Stories and More ...

In a recent Instagram Poll, 43% of That's The Spot followers who took part in the survey, named not knowing how the gift would be received as the reason they haven't committed to sending a vibrating present.

I nervously tore through the wrapping and there it was, my first sex toy. Generously gifted in all its glory, by my friend Nick. A fluorescent red vibrator. It measured about 20 cm and had a gooey rubber texture.

Embracing vibrators and other sex toys and engaging in self-pleasure shouldn't be taboo. You don't have to be super sexy, or adventurous or dabble in kink to be into sex toys - you can just be you.

So, what exactly is kink? Kink encompasses a wide array of unconventional and adventurous sexual practices, ranging from role-playing to BDSM, power dynamics, and fetishes. Most importantly, it emphasises consensual engagement between informed and willing adults.

Sex toys end up in contact with some personal and sensitive parts of the body. Similar to how most people would never dream of eating off a dirty plate, using a vibrator or dildo that hasn’t been properly cleaned should also be unimaginable.
