Spice Things Up How Sex Toys Can Enhance Partner Play

If you and your partner are looking to add some excitement to your sex life, consider experimenting with sex toys. Sex toys are a great way to enhance intimacy, explore each other's desires, and experience new sensations together.

Vibrators

A vibrator is a classic sex toy that provides clitoral stimulation. Using a vibrator during sex allows for dual stimulation and can intensify orgasms for her. Start with a small bullet vibe and see how you both enjoy the sensation.

Cock Rings

Cock rings work by constricting blood flow, which can make erections harder and longer lasting. Cock rings with vibrators or ridges can also stimulate your partner during penetration.

Cock rings do take some practice to put on and remove, so go slowly until you get the hang of it.

Anal Toys

If you're both open to it, anal play can open up a whole new world of pleasure. Start with something small like anal beads or a butt plug. Go slowly, use lots of lube, and communicate with your partner about what feels good and what doesn't.

Role Play Accessories

Role-playing is a fun way for couples to explore different fantasies. Consider costumes, props, or accessories to help set the mood. A sexy nurse outfit or handcuffs can inspire an exciting new scenario for you and your partner.

Sex toys are meant to enhance your sex life, not replace intimacy with your partner. Focus on communicating, exploring each other's desires, and having fun. Don't be afraid to laugh. Go slowly and find what works for you.

With an open mind and a sense of adventure, sex toys can help take your sex life to the next level.

Vibrators 101: Choosing the Right Toy for Partner Play

So you’re ready to add a little buzz to the bedroom with your partner. Vibrators can be a fun way to explore new sensations together, but how do you choose with so many options out there?

You can start with the basics.

A simple bullet vibe or wand is a great place to start for beginners. Bullets are small, discreet, and perfect for clitoral stimulation. Like the famous Hitachi Magic Wand, Wands provide broad stimulation over a larger area. Both are versatile, easy to use, and not too intimidating.

Please take a look at your priorities.

Are you looking to stimulate the clitoris, G-spot, or both? Clitoral vibrators come in direct contact with the clit, while G-spot toys have a curved shape to reach the G-spot internally.

Dual stimulators, like the We-Vibe Sync, provide simultaneous clitoral and G-spot vibration for maximum pleasure.

Think about power.

Vibrators come in various intensities, from a gentle purr to full-throttle. Please look for toys with adjustable power levels so you can start slowly and build up as needed. More power isn’t always better, especially when just starting.

Don’t forget the extras.

Some vibrators offer extra features like remote controls, phone apps, heating elements, or thrusting action. While high-tech toys can be fun, more features often mean a higher price tag.

For your first vibe, you’ll get plenty of enjoyment from a simple, well-made toy.

With the right approach, adding a vibrator to partner play can be a fun, low-pressure way to enhance intimacy and take your pleasure to new heights.

Start with the basics, communicate with your partner, and, most importantly, have fun exploring all the sensations vibrators offer!

Cock Rings: A Guide to Using Them Together

Cock rings are not just for solo play—they can be a fun toy for couples to use together as well. A cock ring is a ring that slips around the base of the penis to help maintain an erection. It works by constricting blood flow, which can make erections last longer and feel more intense.

For couples, this means longer-lasting sex and more powerful orgasms for both partners.

Choosing a Cock Ring Together

When shopping for a cock ring with your partner, consider getting one that vibrates. Vibrating cock rings provide stimulation for both the wearer and their partner during penetration.

Look for a ring that has a raised vibrating bullet or dolphin that will contact the clitoris during sex. You’ll want a ring with multiple speeds to find what feels good for both of you.

Stretchy silicone rings are a good, comfortable option for beginners. Size is also important—get a ring that suits the size of your erect penis so it’s snug but still comfortable.

Using the Cock Ring During Sex

Apply some water-based lube to the penis before putting on the cock ring. This will allow you to slide the ring into place more easily. Have your partner place the ring around the base of your penis once erect. The ring should sit tight against the body.

Make sure it’s not too tight before having intercourse. With the cock ring on, you may notice your erection feels harder and more sensitive. Your partner will likely feel the difference during penetration.

Take things slowly at first since the sensations may be more intense. Let your partner control the speed and rhythm. Play around with different positions to find what feels best for both of you.

Most importantly, communicate with each other about what you're both experiencing and how it feels. Using a cock ring should be a shared bonding experience for you and your partner.

Cock rings are a fun sex toy for couples when used correctly and with patience. Enjoy this new sexcessory and all the pleasure it can bring to your intimate time together!

Anal Toys: Safety Tips and Positions for Partner Play

Anal play can be an exciting new frontier for couples looking to spice up their sex life. However, it does require extra care and patience. The anus and rectum are delicate areas, so you’ll want to start slow and build up as you get more comfortable.

The key is relaxation, communication, and lubrication.

Masturbation Sleeves: How to Use Them as a Couple

Masturbation sleeves, or strokers, are toys explicitly designed for penises. They’re essentially sleeves that provide extra stimulation during masturbation or partnered sex. For couples looking to spice up their sex life or enhance blowjobs, masturbation sleeves can be a fun toy to experiment with.

Use During Foreplay

Slipping a masturbation sleeve onto your partner during foreplay is a great way to tease and stimulate them before intercourse. As you slide the sleeve up and down their shaft, watch their reactions to see what feels good to them.

Focus the vibrations or ribbing on their frenulum or head for extra pleasure. Using a sleeve during foreplay will have them begging for more.

Enhance Oral Sex

If you want to give your jaw a break during a blowjob but still pleasure your partner, a masturbation sleeve is ideal. Place the sleeve over their penis and use your hands to stroke up and down, twisting and applying pressure as they like.

The nubs, ribs, and vibrations will have them seeing stars. Be very careful using a sleeve for oral sex as the material can be hard to grip with your teeth. Only do what feels comfortable for you.

Add Variety to Intercourse

For an exciting new sensation during sex, try slipping a masturbation sleeve over your partner’s penis before they enter you. The ribs, nubs, and vibrations will stimulate you in all the right places.

Start in your favorite position to get used to the new feelings, then experiment with different positions to experience the toy's sensations from every angle. With a sleeve on, positions where you can feel its sensations the most, like the girl on top, are extra pleasurable.

Masturbation sleeves open up possibilities for couples looking to enhance their intimacy. Start with a simple, non-vibrating sleeve and some water-based lube. Experiment during foreplay, oral sex, and intercourse to find what gets you and your partner off.

Once you get the hang of it, you can move on to more advanced sleeves with extra vibration, textures, and suction for mind-blowing orgasms. The options are endless!

Sex Toy Positions to Try With Your Partner

Using sex toys together with your partner can be an exciting new adventure in intimacy. But with so many options, where do you start? We recommend beginning with some basic positions that allow you to explore different sensations at your own pace.

Missionary with a Twist

The missionary position is a classic for a reason—it allows for lots of eye contact, kissing, and manual stimulation. Add a small clitoral vibrator or bullet vibe to the mix, with the vibrator between you and the clitoris. This provides clitoral stimulation for extra pleasure during penetration.

The vibe will also create sensations for your partner during thrusting. For comfort, be sure to start on a low setting and gradually increase speed and intensity.

Doggy Style Double the Fun

For those who enjoy more vigorous or deep penetration, doggy style is a favorite. In this position, add a vibrating cock ring or penis vibrator. The vibrations will stimulate the clitoris during penetration, as well as enhance sensations for him as the vibrator presses against the base of the penis during thrusting.

A cock ring or penis vibrator can also help delay ejaculation for more extended play. Start slowly in this position, as the penetration depth and vibrations may be intense.

Cowgirl with Suction Power

Have your partner lie on their back while you take the reins in a cowgirl-style straddle. Apply a clitoral suction vibrator like the Womanizer and hold it in place as you grind and thrust. The suction technology provides targeted clitoral stimulation using pulsating airwaves and light suction.

This hands-free toy allows you to control speed, angle, and motion for completely customized pleasure. Your partner will also feel the vibrations through your movements for added excitement.

Trying any of these sex toy-inspired positions with your partner is a great way to enhance intimacy and take your pleasure to new heights. Start with what feels comfortable for you both, communicate throughout, and most of all, have fun exploring all the sexy possibilities!

Cleaning and Caring for Your Toys

Once you’ve found some sex toys you and your partner both enjoy, it’s essential to properly care for them to keep things hygienic and ensure they last a long time.

Cleaning

After each use, clean your toys thoroughly with warm water and a mild antibacterial soap. Pay extra attention to any textured areas where bodily fluids can build up. Rinse them well, and pat dry with a clean cloth. For toys with motors, avoid submerging them in water—instead, wipe them down with a damp cloth and soap.

Let all toys air dry completely before storing them. Some toys can also be sterilized in boiling water or the dishwasher on the top rack with no soap. Could you check the instructions to see if your toy is compatible?

Storing

Please store your toys in a dry place away from direct heat. A closet shelf or dresser drawer designated just for toys is ideal. Be sure to keep different materials separate—don’t store a silicone toy right next to a jelly toy, for example, as they can damage each other. Keep toys in their original packaging or a designated toy bag or box.

Lubricant

Use the proper lubricant for your toys to avoid damage and improve sensations. Water-based lube works with all materials, but silicone-based lube is used for silicone toys. Before using new lubes, test a small area first to check for any reaction.

To extend the life of rechargeable toys, only charge them when the battery is low. Don’t keep them plugged in when not in use. Remove the batteries for battery-operated toys when not using them for an extended period.

Replacing Toys

Sadly, sex toys don’t last forever. Inspect your toys regularly for any tears, cracks, or other signs of wear and tear. It’s best to replace the toy if anything looks damaged or compromised.

Generally, most toys will last 1-5 years, depending on the material and frequency of use. Please be sure to take care of any expired toys properly.

With some TLC and common sense care, your toy collection can bring you and your partner pleasure for years. Taking good care of your toys will ensure out-of-this-world experiences every time.

Sex Toy Etiquette: Setting Boundaries as a Couple

When using sex toys with your partner, communication and consent are key. The most crucial first step is having an open, honest conversation about what you're both interested in trying and your boundaries. This ensures you'll have a fun, pleasurable experience together without making others uncomfortable.

Some questions to discuss include: What toys are you open to using? Are there any toys that are off-limits? How often do you want to incorporate toys into your sex life? Do you have any concerns or anxieties about using toys together that you want to share?

Talking through these details will help put you both at ease so you can focus on enjoyment and intimacy.

It's also important to start slow and check in regularly, especially when trying something new. Begin with a toy you're both comfortable with, like a small vibrator, bullet, or cock ring.

Pay attention to verbal and nonverbal cues to ensure your partner feels good. Ask if they want to switch positions or try a different setting or pattern. Starting slow allows you to build up as you get more comfortable.

Using sex toys should be a mutual experience, so take turns being in control of the toy. Pass the vibrator or dildo back and forth, changing the speed, angle, and pressure to tease and please each other. This sharing of power and pleasure will bring you closer together.

Most of all, remember that consent and comfort should be ongoing. Be bold and speak up if something becomes uncomfortable or painful. Your partner will appreciate your honesty, and you'll have a better experience knowing each other's limits next time.

With open communication, patience, and practice, sex toys can be a fun way for couples to enhance intimacy. The key is ensuring the experience is enjoyable and empowering for both parties.
