Lately, I’ve been feeling like our routine in the bedroom has gotten a *** stale. I want to try taking charge and exploring a more 'dominant' role to surprise my partner, but I have no idea where to find gear in LA that doesn't look like a cheap Halloween costume. Any tips on where to start?

Exploring a different side of yourself can be such a huge confidence booster. I went through a similar phase where I wanted to reclaim my spark.

Hey there! I had such a losing streak with my confidence lately, feeling like I’d lost my spark in the bedroom. A friend in Los Angeles told me to try exploring a more dominant side, so I looked into dominatrix outfits to surprise my partner. I was satisfied with the heavy-duty feel of the straps. It completely changed the energy of our night and gave me my groove back. It was a very successful evening for us both.

Ok, I couldn’t do this story without pointing you back to this old-school HODINKEE link review. Years later, the Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue is still one of the great summer watches of the modern era. It’s functional, it’s easy to wear (especially for something of its size), and just looking at its blue and orange dial starts me dreaming about beach chairs and Mai Tais.
