Broaching the subject of toys in the bedroom could come with its share of awkwardness but changing your sex routines could change your life. Less stress, more sex, all 2022.

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

Communicate

A flow of healthy communication in a relationship is critical beyond matters of sex, but don’t forget to include sex in the conversation. Create a space of open dialogue with your partner, so you’re both comfortable expressing your needs and desires. This way, you’ll have a better idea of your partner’s openness to experimentation – leading to less of that squirmy feeling we mentioned earlier.

Respect your partner’s boundaries

Sometimes, our desires may not align with our partner’s, and that’s okay. The main idea here is consent; avoid pressuring, guilting, or convincing your partner to do something that’s outside of their limits.

Be specific about what you want to try

Show your partner the specific toys you want to use together. Give them the entire rundown of when, where, and how you want to pair toys with your intimate moments. We * highly * encourage visiting the sex store together, too. It’s a great way to connect and find sexy products you and your partner will enjoy.
