If you’re having sex with women, foreplay is a must. But why work harder when you can work smarter with products that promise to make foreplay easier and more enjoyable? Better foreplay and stronger orgasms have become the new goal for libido-enhancing products, particularly those geared toward women. “This fall, foreplay is at the forefront as the focus is on the leadup to the main event,” explains Angie Rowntree, founder and director of adult film site Sssh.com. “We are seeing an increase in brands launching products to enhance libido and help people get in the mood and orgasm more easily.”

One popular emerging category of libido-enhancing products is sensitizers — products applied to the genitals to enhance sensations and deliver stronger orgasms. “There are many types of sensitizers, such as arousal gels, pleasure gel, clitoral gels and stimulants, climax cream, arousal oil, arousal serum, stimulating gel, and arousal balm,” Rowntree explains. “These sensitizers are designed to increase arousal and improve the intensity and frequency of an orgasm.”
