Yes to sex toys in your travel bag

Each person has their own important elements when packing a suitcase. There are those who go straight to what is strictly necessary, and those who fill all the space with “just in case”. However, there are a few big forgotten luggage items that could actually make our vacations a lot more fun if we thought about them: sex toys.

Many companies producing this type of product already have very compact sex toysspecifically designed to be taken on the go. This is the case, for example, with several brands in the Lovehoney group, where you can find options for people with vulvas as well as for people with penises. While writing this article, I had the opportunity to try one of the former: Freedom 2author of Womanizer. I also spoke with Ana Lombardiapsychologist, sexologist and sexual health and wellbeing expert at the Lovehoney Group.

After these two experiences, I have come to the conclusion that we are late in adding these toys to our collection. Travel bagOf course, there are some considerations to take into account. Not everything goes well.

Why is it beneficial to use sex toys on vacation?

In fact, any time is a good time to use sex toys. But it is also true that in the summer in many ways it lends itself to this. First of all, at this time of year The temperature rises and daylight hours last for many hours.. Heat and light have been shown to be associated with increased release of hormones such as serotonin. It has many functions in the nervous system, where it acts as a neurotransmitter, transmitting signals between neurons. But without a doubt, one of the most well-known is its association with emotional well-being.

In addition, according to Ana Lombardia“The simple act of showing more skin causes the brain to work on greater arousal, eroticizing bodies even more.” Despite all this, we may enjoy having sex more, whether alone or in company. In fact, couples’ sex on vacation is very common and has no taboos. Why should toys be any different?

To all this, as Lombardy recalls, it should be added that during the summer holidays “there is more time, availability, less fatigue and allows you to let go of the situation and feel freer.” He stress This usually reduces libido, so if we are relaxed, we will want to use sex toys much more often. And, of course, this is an opportunity to try yourself in new activities in new places. These are all advantages.

Beware of fate

In Spain, there are no restrictions on bringing sex toys on planes. They are considered just another electrical device. However, there are countries that severely punish this. This is the case India, United Arab Emirates and Maldives.. These countries “place restrictions on sex toys and even classify them at the same level as firearms and explosives, in the category illegal pornographic materials”

In these countries, the least thing that can happen to us is our sex toys being confiscated. However, in the worst case scenario, you may even end up paying a fine or going to jail. There is a chapter from this series. Bold font which says exactly this. If you’ve seen this series, then it’s probably familiar to you.

With all this, before you put sex toys in your suitcase, it is very important to know the country’s legislation on this issue.

Sex toys for travel: less is more

Ana Lombardia also notes that in this case size matters. Each country and company has its own restrictions on luggage, so it is very important to make sure that they are not going to be carried. confiscated at the airport.

That’s why these types of sex toys are so compact. For example, for this article I was able to try out a clitoral suction cup, but it is much smaller than the usual ones. This might make us think that it would be more awkward to use, but it is very ergonomic, so the use is exactly the same as the larger one.

Another important factor of the sex toys we are going to take with us on vacation is that don’t work in a suitcase. Some have a travel lock option. Others have a small compact case that prevents the power buttons from coming into contact with the rest of your luggage. This is the case that I have been able to prove. Not only does the cover keep what is inside out of sight, it also prevents accidental activation.

There are more and more people interested

Lovehoney Group conducted a survey among 1,000 Spanish participants, 36% of whom admitted that they would like to Try sex toys outside the home. This includes the typical remote-controlled vibrators for couples that are so fashionable these days, as well as any device for individual use.

We are interested, but there are still many taboos. A taboo that we should banish because the holidays are the perfect time to get to know ourselves better. On an airplane there are some things to consider restrictions further. You can start by driving without leaving Spain. If all goes well, you will continue climbing. You might want to try.
