Get your socks off and a condom on.

Wait!!! We get that socks with nothing else can look a little dorky sometimes—and you know we’re all about getting a condom on. But before you take it all off, we feel it’s important to mention that research shows both men and women are more likely to orgasm when they have socks on than when they don’t.
So for those of you who don’t live in a tropical climate, we suggest something more along the lines of: “I can’t wait to see you wearing nothing but a condom—and socks.” Is it just us or does that sound kind of hot?

Thanksgiving Love From Bedsider ATX

Happy Thanksgiving! Hopefully your kitchen smells as much like pumpkin as mine does. We have a lot to be thankful for this year at Bedsider ATX, like all of you fine people who have been giving us such amazing support over the past few months.
Speaking of great people who love Bedsider… Tuesday we sponsored a sex trivia night at Cuatros, hosted by Geeks Who Drink, where we met a bunch of super-rad people who really knew their sex trivia. Check out our Facebook page for pictures!
After all the craziness that was Formula 1 weekend here in the wild of Austin last week, we are ready to slow it down for the holiday season and spend time with the people we love. And it just so happens that we love people who love Bedsider—so we hope you’ll take a minute to swing by one of our last Bedsider events of 2012. Keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter to find out what’s on the ATX agenda. (Spoiler alert: Ladies’ Night, Girlie Movie Night at Alamo Drafthouse, and more sex trivia!)
Stay safe this weekend my friends. Watch out for aggressive Black Friday shoppers, keep away from hot oil while frying turkey, and make sure you’re protected with the right birth control.
PS—Here’s a peek at one of the rounds from sex trivia at Cuatros. Dog toy or adult toy?
