I once read a quote along the lines of "a good perfume does not announce itself, but rather waits to be discovered...."

So true. In keeping with that, I like to design spaces with treasure hunts tucked over, under and inbetween more traditional objects- allowing for the unexpected discovery of naughty amongst the nice.

One way to accomplish that? Books. There are countless titles that are not just a peep show but rather stimulate you or your guests intellectually as well, thus promoting them from the shadows of your bedside table drawer to center stage on the coffee table.

This is a great one for that.

Boy Butter

First to recommend

Description

If you came to this particular rec from the Entertainment tag link, you may be expecting to find something that sings or dances here. Or assume I'm touting masturbation as the best way to have a little fun this Friday night. Nope. I'm tagging this "entertainment" not for the obvious reasons but rather because I'm going to tell you a little secret.

I entertain myself by purposefully leaving weird and (I believe) wonderful items in my downstairs guest bathroom for the sole purpose of seeing who looks in the cabinet. Believe me, I can tell the moment people walk back into the room. It's hard to hide a smirk after an unexpected man spackle discovery. This entertains me.

Yes. I know. I have issues. They are covered in my posts all over thisNext.

So I recommend Boy Butter for that purpose. It has..ahem... alternate uses as well. I think I'll let the site describe one of those.....
____________________________________
Working "tirelessly around the clock," Boy Butter™ has developed an outstanding personal lubricant that is sure to make "all your troubles melt away." This silky and completely odorless cream is made from "farm fresh, 100% Grade A Boy Butter™," or more specifically, coconut oil blended with organic silicone.

The oil herein is mainly used in massage products, while the organic silicone is usually found in hair conditioners. When these two ingredients are combined and left to homogenize (just like real butter), this wonderful product is the result. "Rigorously tested, re-tested, and tested again," Boy Butter™ will outlast most other silicone-based lubricants and wash off with water alone.

This water soluble mixture means no more stains on fabrics or surfaces and no soap required for clean up. Totally safe on rubber, glass, and silicone-based toys, the cream is great for masturbation, anal, and some limited vaginal sex, while also being an excellent addition to any SM play. Although it is not latex compatible, polyurethane condoms are recommended. With a three-year shelf life that requires no refrigeration, Boy Butter™ is "perfect for maximizing the pleasure of some of your favorite pastimes and hobbies."

The Aphrodite Project: Alarmed, GPS Platform Shoes with Emergency Button

First to recommend

Description

"The Aphrodite platform shoes will have an alarm system, which emits a piercing noise to scare off attackers. The shoes are also outfitted with a GPS receiver and an emergency button that relays both the prostitute's location and a silent alarm signal to public emergency services. Where there are problematic relations with law enforcement, the shoes will relay the signal to sex workers' rights groups."
_______________________________
Platforms, the latest series of work in the ongoing Aphrodite Project, is a social sculpture: an interactive, wearable device that is a conceptual homage to the cult of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, a practical object for contemporary sex workers, and a vehicle for public dialogue. An integrated system of shoes and online services, Platforms draws on innovations made by venerated courtesans from antiquity to improve conditions of 21st century women. Despite advances in culture and technology, sex workers are now perceived to be outlaws by trade and are vulnerable to surveillance and violence. Platforms empowers people by providing tools they need to stay safe.

About the Aphrodite Project:
http://theaphroditeproject.tv/
The Aphrodite Project is a series of new media artworks inspired by the cult of Aphrodite. Started by Norene Leddy in 2000, The Aphrodite Project consists of three multi-media artworks: Sanctuary, Platforms, and Kestos Imas, a work in progress.

No wispy Venuses on the half shell here; instead, The Aphrodite Project takes as its point of departure the relationship between contemporary sex worker culture and the ancient cult of the prostitute-as-goddess: "This sacred prostitution was intrinsically tied to religion, ritual and public policy and was seen as a social service and legitimate commerce."

What that somehow translates to is a "series of new media artworks", the first of which is a pair of electronically enhanced platform shoes designed to both protect and empower the women who wear them:
