First, why you should trust a Scorpio with your spicy recs
If you’ve ever met a Scorpio, one of the first things you’ll experience about them is their deep sense of sensuality. Now that can show up in a number of ways (depending on their other placements, particularly their Mars and what’s in/ruling their 8th house), but Scorpio suns always experience themselves as very sensual (dare I say, sexual) people. Personally, all of the Scorpio suns I know fit into one of two categories. Either:
They are comfortable and excited about their sexual side, or
They run from it like the plague (think deeply religious, totally abstinent, particularly stubborn about their thoughts on sexual immorality, etc.)
Either way, sex and sensuality are usually on their minds. So, why not ask my favorite Scorpio about what their favorite playtime toys are (some of which I also strongly recommend)?
What spicy recs my Scorpio recommends (links in the title)
This brand is a water-based lube that I use all the time. My personal go-to’s are the satin and H2O because of the consistency (it feels very natural). That being said, if you want to do some booty stuff, they have a lube for you, too. It’s a little thicker which is necessary because the booty doesn’t naturally lubicate so it needs something a little more serious. I usually go for the 2oz bottle but, if you want to grab the 8.5oz then more power to you!
Hitachi Magic Wand (Cordless and Rechargeable)
Originally made as a muscle relaxer for deep tissue tension, it didn’t take long for folks to realize that this wand could be used for other forms of…relaxation. This is a standard and highly recommended toy for solo and partnered play. My Scorpio mentioned it at the top of the list so here we are. Personally, the vibration settings are a little too strong for me (I’m pretty sensitive down there), but if you like vibrations as a more powerful setting (or even something you can feel through your clothes) then here’s your time to shine.
This is my personal recommendation for external toys and it was the best investment of my life. This is solely for external use AND each one has a specific code that can be given to your partner that can change the frequency…do with that information what you will.
My Scorpio hasn’t used these (yet) but it’s a high priority of theirs to try it the next time they have a partner that doesn’t give them the most guttural ICK. This sits directly on your panties and also comes with a remote control for tempo and frequency.
In the words of my Scorpio: “If I can get out of these bitches it don’t make no sense” and “I’m trying to be retrained, not uncomfortable.” With that being said, these are the cuffs she recommends. One of the reviews was from a mom who accidentally bought these handcuffs for her child’s costume and the entire review was her saying “This is not for kids.” Basically, a green flag.
Now I, Shayna, don’t think that this is my personal adventure of choice but it definitely is the vibe for my Scorpio. In her words: “I wanna get freaky but not ruin my knees; it just makes sense.” It seems like no one wants to review an adult door swing so, if you purchase this one (which seems like the best option to me), definitely let me know if you recommend it! Important info: this option is great for anyone 300lbs (136 kilos) or less.
Finding a good brand that also doesn’t break and won’t cause a yeast infection was difficult but this one is tried and true by my Scorpio. Her brand of choice is called Fantasy and Cherry was her top pick!
Where’s my favorite spicy shop and why you should visit it
My favorite spot in NYC is Pleasure Chest! Located on 156 7th Ave S in Manhattan’s West Village, this queer-friendly sex shop with great selection and an incredibly open and knowledgeable staff that’s always ready for questions and conversation. If you are very experienced and know what you like, or if you’re brand new to using sex toys or accessories, I can’t recommend this place enough. And, as a queer-friendly sex shop, their selection has several options for every body.
While the West Village location is my favorite, they also have locations in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
DO NOT DO THIS, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
“The icy hot for your p*ssy is NOT IT!” she exclaimed as she recoiled from the memory of using KY Jelly His & Hers. If you are going to use it, just use the His. The Hers was too thick in consistency and she, personally, doesn’t prefer creamy lubes (watery is better for her) so she strongly says NAY to this option.
