While it’s no longer considered taboo to bring it up among friends at brunch (most of the time), there are still some questions that you might be too scared to ask. For instance, how and when should one use a butt plug? And which vibe is best for what? And then there’s the talk of kegels—not only used to aid pregnancy and bladder leaks, but also to improve the big O. Read on to see how you can spice up your love life.
