About Christa
Expertise
I am studying to become a "Loveologist". I can answer a variety of questions ranging from explaining about each category of toys, "what goes where & why", I can offer you information about how to make one toy compliment another, how to best care for your items. I do seminars and workshops for ladies and couples. I have been working in this field for 5 years now and I can respectfuly tackle whatever issue that is brought before me. No topics are taboo. As humans, we have the right to be informed on how to achieve our optimal sexual selves. And, in all honesty, if there is a subject I am unaware of, I will do the research to find the best answer. I can also give you specific names of toys and where I reccomend that you purchase them.

Experience
My husband and I own X's & O's Lingerie and Gift Boutique.

CLICK HERE to check out our WEBSITE! WEB-STORE GRAND OPENING!!!!

Our mission is to educate and empower ladies and couples to pursue a variety of avenues of sexual satisfaction via the help of relationship enhancements. For over 5 years, we have been fortunate to receive valuable feedback from our customers and those who have sought out our workshops. We have been considered the "Ultimate Romantic Shopping Experience" for couples in Love. Our "Blow Job Class" (yes, you heard correctly) help put a new fresh "twist" on the techniques and grips you may already be using. Humor creates a receptive environment and I heavily forcus on demystifying the male pleasure zones and anatomy. Please feel free to ask whatever questions that I may assist you with.

Publications
North County Times Editorial (Easter 2006) Q & A with ME and a few readers from LOCALE MAGAZINE (Jan. 2007) Formerly a Talk Radio DeeJay on Radio Show called "Shut Up & Listen" on KKSM Palomar College Radio. X's & O's Lingerie was featured on the E!Networks show Dr. 90210...we did an informational workshop with "Violet", Dr. Matlocks patient. Be sure to TUNE IN for the occassional re-run if you missed it! ( it originaly was filmed July 23,'07 aired on Oct. 29th,'07) We certainly showed Violet what she and her man had been missing!!!

Education/Credentials
I am working toward my "Loveologist" Certification. I am also attending mainstream college courses about marriage, Family & Intimacy as well as Human Sexuality. My current GPA is 4.0! My hope is to further pursue this field by either the Radio or perhaps PodCasting as well as in future projects like writing books.

Past/Present Clients
Out of respect for my customers and friends, I will allow for them to respond with their names if they wish to disclose them. The topics of sex and sexuality are very "ginger" and I recognise the HIPPA laws.

Question
Hello. I recently bought a new toy for my girlfriend. I hope she likes it, as it's for her birthday in a few days. I opened it and took it out of the package, and it kind of has a smell to it. I've tried washing it with hot water and soap, but it still kind of smells. Do you know of any ways that I can clean it so the smell is either gone or lessened? Thanks

Answer
Hi Steve,

This is a frustrating issue. I totally understand that the small that many products have is not sexy. Unfortunately many of them never loose their scent. This smell comes from the variety of silicones, gels and jellies as well as plastics that are combined together during the manufacturing process.

Currently there are MANY toys available that are being made "phalate free" meaning NO ICKY SMELL and nothing in it that can cause skin irritation! I would recommend that you look at my website to see examples of this. If you do a product search on the web and refine your search for "Phalate Free" (fay-late) then you will have an amazing amount of new products that are odor and taste free.

I also recommend that you buy a "TOY CLEANER" rather than using and hand or dish soap to clean your toys. It is anti-bacterial but will not harm or damage your product where the particles in other soaps are harsh and can cause a break down or degrading in the outer material of ANY adult product that is not made of glass or hard acrylic.

Good Luck!

Christa
