Bringing up the topic of buying and using a sex toy with your partner can be nerve-wracking. However, it’s important to remember that communication is key in any relationship, especially when it comes to intimacy.
When you have an open and honest conversation about using a sex toy, you and your partner can explore new possibilities and improve your sexual experiences together. Before you bring it up, though, do some research. You’ll want to have a good understanding of the different types available and how they’re used. Knowing this will help you communicate effectively with your partner and answer any questions they may have. It’s also a good idea to think about why you want to use a sex toy and what you hope to achieve.
How to have the conversation
Timing is crucial. Choose a time when you’re both relaxed and in a good mood. Create a safe and comfortable environment where you can talk openly without fear of judgment or rejection.
Start the conversation by explaining that you’d like to try something new. Avoid making it sound like a criticism of your partner or your current sexual routine. Instead, frame it as an opportunity to explore new possibilities and add an exciting new dimension to your intimacy.
Listen to your partner
You must listen to your partner’s concerns and be able to answer any questions they may have. Some people are hesitant to use sex toys because they might feel as though it’s a replacement – or they’re unsure how to use it. Be understanding and reassure your partner that you’re interested in trying a sex toy as a way to enhance your intimacy and sexual pleasure together.
Have an open and honest conversation about any boundaries or limits that you or your partner may have. Make sure you’re comfortable with each other’s boundaries and that you agree on how to bring a sex toy into the bedroom in a way that respects those boundaries.
