Are you thinking about spicing up your love life, but are unsure of where to start? We understand. Sex toys and intimate products can be overwhelming when you don’t know much about them.
Unfortunately, there is still a bit of a stigma surrounding sex toys. This can make it difficult to find straight answers about which ones may be best for you.
That is precisely why we have put together this simple guide to the sex toys and intimate products that you can use to spice up your relationship.
Keep reading, and we’ll answer all the questions you might have, and some that you might not think to ask!
Personal Lubricant
Before you get into more advanced sex toys for couples, you should invest in a high-quality personal lubricant. Some people think that needing lube means that something is wrong with you, but that could not be further from the truth.
60% of sexually active women say they have used a personal lubricant. There are plenty of perfectly normal reasons that you might need to use it, including hormonal fluctuations, cold temperatures, and anal play.
If you and your partner are using condoms to have sex, you can often get away with buying condoms that already contain lube. If you and your partner don’t use condoms, you should pick up a bottle.
To stay on the safe side, always use an unscented, water-based lube. Some people have sensitive skin and can react badly to lube that’s full of unnecessary chemicals.
Handcuffs
If you and your partner are interested in trying out some BDSM products, handcuffs are a great place to start. Some people find being restrained extremely exciting.
You should always buy handcuffs from sex toy shops. Handcuffs that are sold to law enforcement are not as safe or comfortable for the person wearing them.
Handcuffs from sex toy shops should come with a little latch that opens them without the key. That way, if the person wearing the handcuffs wants to stop, they can do so immediately and on their own terms.
There are lots of fun and creative ways to spice up your love life with handcuffs.
For example, you can handcuff your partner to a chair and give them a striptease or oral pleasure. Being able to please your partner while they’re restrained might just be more exciting than you expect!
Vibrators (For Anyone’s Pleasure!)
One of the most essential adult toys is the vibrator. These toys can be used for solo pleasure or playing with your partner, and they come in all shapes and sizes.
There is no shame in using a vibrator with your partner while you have sex. If your partner asks you to incorporate a vibrator into your play, it only means that they want to amplify the pleasure for both of you.
Most people think of vibrators as sex toys for women, but that is not necessarily the case. Vibrators can be used to please anyone, regardless of what they have in their pants, so to speak.
For added fun, you and your partner can get a remote control vibrator so that one of you can tease the other from afar.
Chastity Devices
If you enjoy being restrained with handcuffs or bondage rope, you can consider trying out a chastity cage as well. You can get chastity cages for people of any gender, and they can certainly make things more exciting.
A male chastity cage can bring lots of pleasure to both partners. The restriction of the cage will feel good both physically and psychologically.
Though you may not have thought to try it yet, the sensation of having something restricting and tight against your pelvis can feel very, very good.
Plus, you may enjoy the power dynamic of giving your partner the key to your chastity cage.
Paddles and Whips
You don’t have to be into hardcore BDSM to like a little pain during sex. Being spanked, whipped, or slapped can intensify physical pleasure and get your adrenaline pumping.
The best way to try impact play with your partner is by using a paddle or whip made specifically for spanking. These sex toys are designed to deliver the perfect amount of pain without injuring you.
If you or your partner wants to explore some masochistic tendencies, a playful spanking is a great way to start. You can be in complete control of how hard anyone gets hit, and how much.
Leashes and Collars
If you enjoy being choked during sex, you should consider some sexual products that simulate that feeling. Putting a collar or leash around your neck during sex might just drive you wild.
The great thing about a leash is that your partner can lead you around and control how you move. If you enjoy being controlled by your partner during sex, a leash is a perfect accessory for you.
Leashes and collars simulate ownership. You can use them to roleplay situations in which you belong completely to your partner or vice versa. What could be hotter than that?
Spice Up Your Love Life With These Intimate Products
You know your relationship better than anyone else. Talk to your partner about experimenting with intimate products, and discover the perfect addition to your love life.
When experimenting with intimate products and sex toys, open communication is key. Talk to your partner and figure out what you both like the most.
