Sex toys are an amazing way for couples to get closer together. These toys are all something that could be used on either partner (with proper sterilization in between!) or as something that they can both enjoy using together.
1. Anal Beads
While men have a slight advantage when it comes to getting pleasure from anal, women often enjoy the sensation as well. It can add to the feelings of pleasure that come from vaginal or clitoral stimulation. These should not be shared between partners, but they can be something both men and women enjoy!
2. Nipple Clamps
You want to start small when you start with clamping. Women are more likely to find the process painful. Many men enjoy nipple stimulation as well, though they may have to be eased into it. Not all men are initially comfortable with nipple play; it’s not always a part of vanilla sex for a man.
3. Thin Based Dildos
Again, this is not a toy that should be shared without first sterilizing it. That said, a thin based dildo is an excellent essential toy for couples. A narrower base lets it be more flexible for the women who want that. It can be angled to stimulate her g-spot—or his prostate. The prostate has more nerve endings than anywhere else on the male body; wanting to take advantage of that is natural.
4. Cock Rings
Cock rings can give him a more satisfying orgasm when it finally happens, and allow her as much play as she wants. Cock rings let an erection be harder and last longer than the man could achieve on his own. It’s perfect for couples who like to go for hours, or want to play several different games (or try a few different positions) sometimes when they have sex.
5. Restraints and Ball Gags
These toys are definitely not gender specific, and can turn up the heat no matter how you play with them. These sex toys focus on the fantasies of BDSM, and make sure that everyone who participates is safe and comfortable—or uncomfortable to a safe degree, depending on their preferences. If you want to try bondage play, get the real equipment: something you whip up around the house may prove unsafe for your partner.
Sex toys aren’t just for women to use alone, or men to fantasize about. Sex toys can do wonders for a couple’s sex life and happiness. There’s no need to pick who’s going to be happy when you shop for sex toys: they’re all about “us”!
