The world of sex and gender is a colourful and wonderful space and today we’ll be getting down to the basics on what exactly that means for different people.

Hello, hello, hello friends. Embrace self-pleasure all year round by exploring your body and trying the hundreds of different ways to masturbate. Let's get down to business (but mostly pleasure).

Well, I’m excited and impressed. Why? Because Lovehoney has teamed up with sustainability sex toy powerhouse, Love Not War to develop a very, VERY sleek and sexy range of sustainable vibes. These four grey and rose gold vibrators have just been released, and I have been locked up in my house for 4 days trying them all.

I must say… it’s been a very good few days.

As lockdown restrictions start to ease and the options to see a few friends, go out for dinner, or maybe even date, all become possibilities again, it's easy to feel a little bit overwhelmed with choice. We may also realise that the tracksuit we have been wearing while making our sourdough bread and binging Netflix is all we have worn in about two months. While amazingly comfortable, we may not be feeling super sexy and ready to party.

We have built ourselves amazingly cosy little lockdown shells that have kept us sane in isolation, but how do we emerge from the cocoon, and embrace our sexual selves?
