How to introduce sex toys to your relationship

While sex toys have a lot to offer your relationship, sometimes it can be difficult broaching the subject with your partner without feeling embarrassed. Don’t worry, though- we’re here with some great tips on how you can start to experiment in the bedroom and get the most pleasure possible.

Choose the best time to bring it up

Let’s face it- a romantic dinner out probably isn’t the best time to bring up the idea of introducing sex toys to your relationship. Instead, you should wait until a time where you and your partner are feeling comfortable and already at a level where you are enjoying your sex life together. You could even bring up the idea of using toys during a sexual experience, when your partner will be more likely to be willing to try something new.

Connect them with things you already like doing

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to sex, so to start off with, it might be a good idea to go for a toy which is connected to what you already like. Try to encourage your partner in the bedroom so that they know what you like best- if you do this, then taking things to the next level will be a lot easier.

Keep your partner reassured

As we’ve noted in our article on sex toys for men, a lot of men don’t feel particularly comfortable with the idea of using sex toys- at first. Often they can feel intimidated by them, and worry that they are not able to completely satisfy you themselves. Once they get over that initial trepidation, we’re sure that they will love them, but during those first few times it’s important to make sure that your man feels comfortable and confident while using toys. Show them that you are having a good time, and they will be more likely to let go of their inhibitions and have fun too.

Choose a toy designed for couples
