cool things I didn’t buy

(They look ugly on Amazon’s bad scan, but great in person.) Tear one out and give it to a lover — no gender is assumed so anyone can use them — and the wickedness ranges from makeout sessions to spankings, role-play, sex in public and even sex toys! Nice.

The other cool thing I didn’t buy is Use This Book, a spiral-bound reference book full of really useful, odd things like dance steps, instructions for building a sundial, tear-out tags and signs like “do not disturb”, a poisonous plant guide, Scrabble words list, common ailments and their remedies, cool muscular/skeleton charts, a fast food nutrition guide (!) and more. Someone needs to do a sex version of this… vibrator repair, lube ingredients lists, porn search tips, erogenous zone map, etc…
