At Xtra, we celebrate self-love in every way, shape and form. May is International Masturbation Month, and while the COVID-19 pandemic and physical distancing practices continue, the desire to deal with all this pent-up sexual energy seems more imperative now than ever before.

So before you bake another loaf of sourdough bread with your quarantine partner or hop into your next virtual hangout with the homies, why not take it slow with a sultry party for one. We’ve got you covered with all the sexy tunes to set the mood.
