Hold On, Let Me Get My Toy.

Introducing sex toys into an established, sexual partnership can definitely serve to turn up the heat. But the idea of bringing a toy to the table is still taboo for many people. They can create sensations that mechanics alone cannot. Toys can increase our pleasure; they are acting as welcome additions to something already going well.

Some people might think that their partner asking to introduce toys into their sex life as a negative reflection on themselves. But in almost all cases that couldn’t be further from the truth. There’s lots of evidence out there that tells us many people with vagina’s struggle to climax purely from penetrative sex alone. Often climax can only be reached with additional stimulation of the clitoris or anus. Toys can be an addition that leads to a mind-blowing climax. Consider your vibrating toy as your new best friend, a partner-in-crime for bringing more pleasure into the bedroom. Fundamentally, a toy should be thought of as an extension of yourself.
