Go Beyond the Clitoris.

Toys you Can Use Together

Sex toys are not meant to replace anyone, they can be used expand and enrich your sex life. There are many men who are tired of initiating everything sexual in their relationships; in fact it may be a turn-on for them to have their partner add something new. Many men complain their girlfriends and wives never initiate anything new into their sexual relationships.

Introducing a Sex Toy

Finding ways to bring up the subject of using a sex toy may difficult. Many people find just bringing up the subject intimidating. Even couples with the best communication skills find it difficult to discuss sex.

• You know your relationship best. If your partner is someone you feel comfortable enough with to just surprise them one evening then go for it.
• Whisper the idea in your partner's ear during your next sexual encounter, bring up that you've fantasized about them using a vibrator on you
• Get your partner involved in the process. Shop for a vibrator together. It gives you an excellent opportunity to describe the ways you'd like to use toys.
• Go on-line and begin exploring the world of sex toys one evening over a glass of wine.

Communicating your sexual desires can not only bring you more sexual satisfaction but can also deepen your relationship as a whole. It can bring you both to a new level of intimacy that you can explore together. Adding a toy to your sexual repertoire is a good place to start.

Watch your partner in action Once you have a toy use it in front of your partner. Many get aroused watching their partners use a sex toy in front of them. It is a great way to teach a partner how to use the vibe on you. Consider it a project you can do together.
