From 3-minute red light therapy masks for your vagina to ungodly amounts of food delivery, it feels like we’re outsourcing everything nowadays. What’s next? Outsourcing our orgasms? So when I read the words “intimacy concierge,” I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes. 

Meet Arya, the intimacy concierge service that gives you access to everything your relationship needs to elevate (according to science, of course).

I tested this with my lover on a Friday in the spirit of date night. We tested everything from “scenes,” which are curated sensual experiences you can share or do separately, to the actual concierge who dropped tips and added in an extra bit of communication that, spoiler, I personally enjoyed. 

I personally wanted to make sure that this didn’t just drop us off at a random kinky destination. But more so, he walked us through options for elevating our........
