With almost half of the UK’s sex toy owners revealing that always take them on holiday, the two brands have united to offer a passport to a hot and horny summer in time for the launch of the Venus Glow – Lovehoney’s all-new shell-shaped clitoral suction toy.
The index features destinations from more than 30 countries across six different continents, taking into consideration scores for eight distinct categories—including solitude, swoon-worthy sunsets, and inclusivity – to unveil the world’s ultimate beach for steamy stays.
The Globe’s Sexiest Shores
Topping the list of sultry and sexy shores is Cable Beach in Kimberley, Australia with 53.2 points out of the total possible 60, earning especially high scores for its seclusion, sun-kissed setting, and staggeringly stunning sunsets.
UK beaches overcame their unpredictable climate to claim a respectable eight positions in the top 100, with Cornwall’s Carbis Bay the highest-scoring home nation location in 38th overall. Scotland had the most locations in the top 100 out of the countries in the UK, with Langamull Beach (Isle of Mull, 72nd), Berneray West Beach (Outer Hebrides, 73rd), Balnakeil Beach (Highlands, 82nd), and Luskentyre Beach (Isle of Harris, 92nd) offering some serious seclusion for anyone looking for a sexy getaway.
Wales and Northern Ireland claimed one spot each in the list, with Portrush’s Whiterocks Beach occupying 57th position, and Pembrokeshire’s Barafundle Bay claiming 76th place.
Five other far-flung destinations snapped up spots in the top 10, including Baia do Sancho, Brazil (3rd) Playa Varadero, Cuba (5th) and Agonda Beach, India (6th). Closer to home in Europe, Spiaggia di Maria Pia in Italy came in 2nd, Playa de Ses Illetes in Formentera, Spain came in 4th and Praia do Camilo in Portugal hit the 8th spot.
Travelling With Sex Toys
If you’re planning to travel with sex toys this summer to any of these sizzling sex spots, Annabelle Knight, Lovehoney’s sexual wellness expert has some top tips:
Discretion is key
There’s nothing like jettisoning day-to-day drudgery for a few days to bring back that sexual spark and taking your sex toys on holiday (whether you are beach-bound or not) can add to the adventure.
Larger dildos and vibrators might be harder to disguise, but there are lots of super discreet looking toys that will barely raise an eyebrow should your bags get searched in the airport. Lovehoney’s new Venus Glow – launching today at 4pm – is a cute, shell-shaped clitoral suction toy which can be tucked away in an inner pocket of your suitcase. With a playful design yet powerful functionality, it’s the perfect pick for any trip, or why not try a small bullet vibrator?
Know your liquid limits
If you’re planning to take lube on holiday with you, don’t forget to check if where you’re flying from is enforcing the 100ml rule. There are plenty of options out there that come in petite packaging, or why not decant your lube into a travel bottle?
Research your destination
Some countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Maldives, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, have restrictions on sex toys. Make sure to do your research ahead of time to avoid the risk of having your vibrator confiscated. When it comes to flying with intimate objects, consult the handy “What Can I Bring?” search tool on the TSA website. Enter the item you’re planning to pack, such as “vibrator,” and you’ll quickly be able to see if it’s permitted and any restrictions that might apply.
Beware of the Buzz
If the tell-tale buzzing suitcase scenario has you thinking you’d rather leave your sex toys at home, fret not as lots of toys come with in-built travel locks. How these are activated will vary between toys but are usually performed simply (such as by double tapping the power button). No need to worry about any unwanted buzzing during your flight, and you will have a fully powered vibe on the other side!
Embrace pleasure
Sexual pleasure is still sadly stigmatised, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with travelling with sex toys, so even if you get searched, it’s important to remember that you are doing absolutely nothing wrong! Be confident and transparent. You certainly won’t be the first person to travel with sex toys that security have seen, and you won’t be the last!
