When Job Stress Saps Your Sexual Energy

What can you do when work woes lead to a lackluster libido? Or your husband falls asleep during sex? And which lubes are safe? Supersextoy answers your queries.

Q: As a general manager for a big office, I am under a lot of stress. Due to my work, my sexual appetite is not what it once was. My wife and I have been married for five years and we have always been very close sexually, but lately my life has been all work, all stress and no intimacy. Anything to recommend?

A: Yeah, I have some things to recommend: Put down the damn BlackBerry, stop taking your work home, shut off the cell phone.

Too simple and trite? "Oh, I just can't. My job depends on it!" Please. Stop whining. Look at the woman you married five years ago and tell me what is more important.

Where does this work-warrior culture come from, anyway? Do you think bragging over working 70 hours per week somehow makes you a brave modern knight, your PDA slung from your belt like your own Excalibur? Do you think you are going to heaven because you are still working at 9 p.m. and taking red-eyes to Boston? Sorry, pal.

Have you ever tasted fine olive oil and salted bread and fresh, cool wine while sitting on a white-washed terrace overlooking the blue Aegean with your wife sitting next to you, her beauty and her love a blessing you can't believe you deserve? That's heaven.

Can't afford the trip? Then take her out to dinner and talk about nothing work-related at all. Talk about a dream. Talk about the blue Aegean. The office will still be there tomorrow. No one is that important.

Stress experts agree that a major cause of stress is the feeling that we do not have control. But that feeling often is an illusion. We do have control. We can control how much stuff we buy, how much money we have to make to support that stuff. We can change our work environments.

Psychologist Alan Nagamoto, director of the UCLA stress clinic, suggests trying "to identify the specific source" of stress. If it is work, what is it about work? A collection of small things? One big thing?

Once you have identified the source, he says, ask yourself: "Is this anything I can do something about? Is it under my control?" Next, attempt a proper "adaptive solution." (Martinis don't count.) Sometimes that could mean doing nothing. Or it could mean making small or large changes - everything from delegating some tasks to finding a new job - to reduce stress.

Though it sounds cliché, a good workout and talking with trusted friends are good quickie stress-relievers. So is sex. Research proves it. Buck up and take your medicine like man.

By the way, your health could depend on controlling stress. Stress activates the autonomic nervous system, our fight-or-flight response. In the context of evolution, we are designed for short bursts of either running away or duking it out with the lion that is stalking us. Our bodies aren't made to run or fight all day, every day.

Besides, when we think we're on somebody's dinner menu, we tend not to think of getting it on with the cute wildebeest on the other side of the herd.

Q: My husband is 6-feet-tall and weighs over 400 pounds. He has sleep apnea and he can't stay awake during sex. He doesn't know this is happening, and I am turned off. How can I get turned back on?

A: Lady, your getting turned on is the least of your worries. The apnea, the obesity, the inappropriate sleepiness all make your husband a big risk for heart attack, diabetes, stroke and impotence.

No kidding, get him in to see his physician, ask the doc about a sleep specialist and a weight-loss program. It may take awhile, but in time, your sex problem should resolve.

Q: Are there certain lubricants that aren't good for women, like the ones that are petroleum-based? Can some promote yeast infections?

A: Time was, there was just K-Y. Now selecting sex lubes is like selecting wine. Stores shelves are full of different lubes.

If they are sold as a "sexual" or "personal" lubricant, they're likely safe. If they are sold as a "novelty," they may not be safe.

Many novelty lubes are flavored, and if they are, they may contain sugars that can promote yeast infections. This doesn't mean all flavored non-novelty lubes will, so read labels if you just can't face having sex that doesn't taste like choco-banana.

Petroleum-based products such as Vaseline don't make good sex lubes either, partly because they weaken condoms.

Silicone lubes can feel great, and they last a long time, but never use them with a silicone sex toy. They'll integrate with the toy and "melt" it, creating a gooey mess on the surface.

Water-based lubes may not last as long as the silicone-based ones, but they are safe for condoms, sex toys and you.

Sex Toy Materials 1: Silicone

• Silicone sex toys are non-porous and can be disinfected. Even textured toys are easily cleaned.
• To clean sex toy you can boil them for 5-10 minutes, pop them in your dishwasher, or wash with soap and water. Boiling will most thoroughly disinfect your silicone sex toys. Do not boil silicone vibrators like the Heartbreaker Sex Toy. The Rock Chick Sex Toy and other silicone sex toys with removable vibes can be boiled.
• If you disinfect silicone sex toys between uses, you can share them with a partner; otherwise, use condoms. Non-lubricated condoms like the Colored Trustex or the Kiss of Mint are best for silicone sex toys.
• Silicone dildos can break at the base if they are forced into too-small rings. Be sure you have the right size harness ring for your dildo. You can get rings in the plumbing section of the hardware store, or order the 4-Ring Pack selection from us.
• Do not use silicone lubes like Eros with silicone sex toys as it can melt the silicone sex toy. Be sure to use a condom over the toy if you want to use silicone lube.

Silicone is a popular sex toy material for many good reasons: it's non-porous, hygienic, pliable, and comes in many vivid colors. It warms to the body and retains heat. It is also extremely durable. Because silicone can withstand high temperatures, you can boil silicone toys (as long as there is no vibrator unit inside) for 5-10 minutes or put them in your dishwasher to disinfect them. They also clean well with soap and water.

Silicone toys vary in their density — some are very soft (like the Mistress) while others are more rigid, but they are all pliable. The variation depends on how much silicone is poured into the mold. Silicone also carries vibration like a dream. You'll find that silicone items are often more expensive that sex toys made of other materials. Not only is the material more expensive than plastics or rubbers, but silicone toy makers are often small businesses that don't mass produce their products on an assembly line but create them in more craftslike settings. You will find the higher price worthwhile because of the longer life-span of silicone and its ability to be disinfected for use with more than one partner.

I have environmental allergies. What sex toys are safe for me to use? Silicone is hypoallergenic. We recommend silicone toys to anyone who is concerned about having a reaction to rubber and vinyl materials or scents or for people who know they do not want to use condoms on their sex toys.

Sex Toy Travel Advisory

If you're thinking about joining the mile-high club, going on a second honeymoon, or taking a trip to rendezvous with your sex buddy, you'll have to be careful where you pack your lube and sex toys, or risk going through an embarrassing delay in the airport security queue. Traveling with sex toys has always been a bit dicey, but with recent events it's gotten even trickier.

Thanks to the recent apprehension of Britain's "gel bombers," air travel authorities in both the US and UK have banned any liquid or gels in carry on luggage. This includes any type of lube, such as KY Jelly or AstroGlide. If you have any sort of lube or sex lotion in your carry on, you'll be subject to having it publicly confiscated. You probably want to be spared the humiliation of having an air screener waving around a bottle of your Banana-Flavored Juicy Lube while your fellow passengers crane their necks to see what's causing the delay.

Whither the Lube?
Lubes are still permitted if packed in checked luggage, but that won't help you any if you were hoping to use them in flight. If you want to get it on in the airplane lavatory, but don't want to do it dry, be prepared and carry a lubricated condom or two. And when packing your bottle of lube or massage oil in your checked luggage, put the bottle inside a sealable Ziploc bag to prevent any leaking caused by changes in altitude in a nonpressurized cargo hold. A handful of sealed "single serving" pillow packs of lube can also be handy for traveling.

In addition to the ban on liquids and gels, all electronic devices are now required to be removed from carry on baggage and placed in separate trays before screening. This means that while technically you still can bring your vibrator on the plane with you, you're expected to take it out and put it in full view in one of those plastic bins before it goes through the X-ray machine. Some people suggest traveling with "discreet" vibrators - vibrators made to look like a hairbrush or lipstick, for example. But these days, any electrical device that's disguised might seem more suspicious, so you might be better off going with a vibrator design that's simply abstract and nondescript.

Carry-on Conundrums - The X-Ray Sees All
Don't think the screeners won't see a vibrator inside your carry on bag, no matter how many layers of sweatpants you wrap it in. The X-ray machine will reveal it in detail, and anything with batteries, wiring, and a motor is bound to set screeners off into high-alert mode. Wrapping it up or putting it in a secret pocket just means the screeners will have to tear the contents of your bag apart to get to it. Better to put it in a clear plastic bag so they can see exactly what it is and they don't muck it up when handling it. Better yet, avoid the hassle and just put it in your checked luggage. But be sure you take the batteries out first. There have been cases of flight delays caused by a passenger's vibrator switching on while luggage was being loaded, triggering a security lock-down.

As far as packing non-vibrating sex toys and devices in carry on, use your own common sense. Some items, like nipple clamps and cock rings, may appear innocuous enough to escape a screener's scrutiny. But be aware that security officials are on heightened lookout for anything unusual, and you may find yourself in the awkward position of explaining what a penis pump is for. It's probably better to leave it in your checked luggage than have to mumble something about it being "a medical device" or wing a lame excuse about a "joke gift for a friend." Whatever you do, don't offer a demonstration - that will probably land you on the "no fly" list.

If you think you can beat the system by carrying your sex toys on your person, you might want to think again. Of course, you'll have to empty your pockets of anything metal and put the contents in a tray, and anything battery-powered like a vibe will be subject to extra scrutiny. Attempting to wear a strap-on through security is risky as well. The bulge in your crotch is likely to draw attention anyway, and if the harness has any metal rivets or buckles, it will set off the metal detector, and you'll be pulled aside for a pat-down. Likewise for any wearable clit vibrators. The one exception here might be a non-vibrating butt plug, inserted ahead of time. If you enjoy wearing a plug in public, it could help alleviate the tedium of a dull flight and long lines in the terminal.

Seriously, if you do have sex toys in your luggage, and you're singled out for a security search, either randomly or because of something irregular, don't panic. Acting nervous will only arouse the suspicions of the security staff. Although it may be an embarrassing moment for you, remember that the screeners are just doing their jobs, and they have been trained to behave professionally. Most of them have encountered sex toys before in their line of work, so chances are they won't be seeing anything new, and will not go out of their way to humiliate you. You might want to mention that your baggage contains items of a very personal nature and you would appreciate their discretion. With any luck, the ordeal will be over quickly and you'll be on your way. Or if you're an exhibitionistic type, savor the moment and use it as fantasy fodder for later.

Pack Light - But Don't Forget the Batteries
When traveling with toys, there are some general guidelines you'll want to follow. As with anything you put in your luggage, when it comes to packing sex toys for a trip, smaller and lighter is always better. It's much more convenient to carry a compact, single-battery vibrator than a bulky, heavy Hitachi Magic Wand. Take only the minimum of toys that you think you will use. Just bring your favorites, not your whole toy box. To save space, you can also choose to bring toys that are multipurpose. Pack a vibrating dildo so you don't need to bring both a vibrator and a dildo. Since travel always includes an element of spontaneity, you may not always know how and where you'll be using a toy on your trip, so plan for versatility. Waterproof toys are good because you can use them in or out of the shower or hot tub.

Make sure your vibe has fresh batteries, and bring spares just in case. Nothing kills the mood like a vibrator sputtering out, and replacement batteries may not always be readily available, especially if it's an odd type like a watch battery. In the unlikely event that you can't be parted from your electrical vibrator and you've brought it with you on a trip to another country, make sure you have any necessary current adapters so you can use the local power supply.

Even if you can't give up your favorite vibrator for a week, it's probably best not to take any toys with you that are extremely valuable, irreplaceable, or that have sentimental value. We all know how things have a way of getting left in the hotel by accident, not to mention the hazards of lost luggage. Good luck getting the airline to reimburse you for a $200 rabbit vibrator.
