W Hotel Intimacy Kit

W Hotel Intimacy Kit
An unexpected rendez-vous had me checking in late, late, late to the W recently, utterly lubeless. A quick ring to their unique concierge service, “whatever, whenever” revealed that though they’d be happy to retrieve some for us, and at 1am, in fact, the room was already smartly equipped with an ‘Intimacy Kit.’ Go, W, for great service and stocking the honor bar with condoms, water-based lube, and all in very hip packaging. But the one little packet of Wet included? Such a tease. Sure, it’s likely an effort to be discreet and design-y. But good design for sex means you’ve got to account for ‘slippery’, too.

    I think a lot of the hotels in NY have those kits in the bar, but I haven’t seen them in Euro-land yet.

    It’s been pointed out now that I ought to have been aware of this phenmo long ago — but keep sending in images.
