A few weeks ago I told you about a new product called Zestra. It is a feminine arousal product that promises to bring back her enthusiasm between the sheets.
This weekend the husband and I had a chance to try it out and the following is my honest review:
We woke up Saturday morning after the kids had already gotten up and gone downstairs.
He got up to go to the bathroom and on his way back to bed I asked him to get the bottle of Zestra out of the top drawer of my dresser. He handed it to me and I read the directions... "Dispense 3-4 pumps into your hand and apply to all of your girl bits. Wait 5 minutes and prepare to have your head explode." (I may be paraphrasing.)
I dispensed. I applied. I told my husband we had to wait five minutes. "You don't have 5 minutes." he answered back.
I waited, I concentrated, and I didn't feel anything. Well, except for my husband trying to urge time forward at the 4 minute mark.
Still nothing significant at the 5 minute mark but my husband was beyond ready. Maybe some of that lotion had splashed onto him?
Somewhere around the 6 minute mark I felt everything start to tingle. I'm not talking about a slow burn like a certain "warming lotion" I've tried before. This was a tingle that felt like there was a vibrator present - even though there wasn't.
It was a little distracting - what with the other BUSINESS that was happening - but we made a position switch that augmented the tingling sensation and eliminated the distraction.
So, did my head explode? Absolutely. Was it entirely due to the Zestra? The health of my marriage requires me to say, no, not entirely.
So what do I think?
I think that the lotion certainly gets the nerves in her sensitive areas firing on all cylinders. I think that if she has time to really get into the sensation, it will definitely help put her in the mood.
I think that 10 minutes of foreplay will certainly give him plenty of time to become aroused.
I think that any time two people have an honest discussion about what they want, enter a bedroom looking forward to trying something new and spend ten minutes focused on her body, magical things happen.
I think that sometimes after having a baby or some other significant life change, we need a little help getting back into a groove in the bedroom. We think that we don't need it and that we can live without it and that our marriage can live without it.
And maybe those things are all true, but we don't have to live without it. And neither does our spouse. There are lotions and potions and all sorts of things that we can try to rediscover intimacy. They don't all have to work for us. Some things will work for one couple and won't work for another. The key is to keep trying to find the thing that works for you - and for your partner.
Do I think that Zestra is going to revolutionize sex for everyone? No.
But it may enhance it for you.
Can you say "stocking stuffer?"

Is it better than the KY stuff? Because I have to admit that is some good stuff.

I'm all good with the extra tingly stuff as long as it either goes away fairly quickly afterward or it washes off. The hubs and I have tried a few other things that sent me into orbit and not in a fun way! Talk about a mood killer. Heh.

Sadly, I am single and have no one to try this out with. (Does my dog count?)
Do you think if I tried this out with my vibrator I would spontaneously combust and someone would have to clean my lady bits off the ceiling and my mother would find out I died in a horrific masturbatory accident?
