Why couples should use sex toys together
Sex toys are big business, and this billion-dollar industry has thrown up an array of vibrators, dildos, etc for those looking for a little extra sparkle in the bedroom. Once considered a gadget for solo use, the sex toy has also found its way into couple sex – enhancing foreplay, boosting sexual intercourse, and helping both partners achieve the big ‘O.’
Sex toys can help you work out what feels good, and they can be used in various ways. You can use a sex toy to pleasure yourself while your partner watches. This can be arousing for both of you, and will also help you to figure out what your lover enjoys.
Alternatively, take it in turns to use a sex toy on each other (perfect for working yourselves up into an orgasmic frenzy). Vibrators in particular might not seem to be the most romantic addition to your love life, but the humble sex toy can do wonders in the bedroom. Here are a few of the best toys for couples that we have found.
