How To Begin Using Sex Toys?
If you’re new to sex toys it’s helpful to start with something simple like a bullet vibrator or wand.
“Your journey in selecting the right toy is akin to an exploration of your desires and preferences. Consider if the toy will complement your regular activities seamlessly,” says Christine.
Start slow and consider what you want to get out of experimenting with sex toys. Using lubrication is also super helpful.
“Lube is incredibly important, not only because it increases pleasure and reduces friction but it also can help extend the life of your toys. Always prioritise your body by using specially formulated sex lubricant for your erotic escapades.”
How Do You Tell Your Partner You Want To Use Toys?
Bringing up sex toys to a new partner, or perhaps one you haven’t tried them out with can be a nerve-wracking experience – but it doesn’t have to be.
Christine suggests, “[setting] aside time outside of sex for a conversation about bringing toys into your play, especially if you’re unsure [of] their stance towards using toys. This leads the way to an open discussion around the topic, so choose a time when your partner/s is feeling relaxed and has the time.”
“Keep in mind that reassurance is key. Let your partner know that introducing toys doesn’t mean they’re being replaced – you’re simply expanding your pleasure palette.”
There’s also a bunch of toys on the market that are great for those with penises, so they can experiment with new sensations for themselves!
“Lastly, remember to be patient and gentle. If your partner seems hesitant, respect their feelings and take it at a pace that feels comfortable for both of you. This is a journey you’re embarking on together, so be ready to explore and adapt along the way.”
