Two hands holding sex toys

There’s obviously something special between you and your sweetie, and we don’t meant the vibrator. But that doesn’t mean it’s not time to upgrade. Perhaps it’s time to add something new and even spicier to the mix.

Fortunately, we find ourselves in the golden age of couples’ sex toys. There really is something for everyone in this age of sex positivity. If you have an itch, then it’s pretty much guaranteed there’s a sex toy out there that can scratch it. Quite literally in the case of some super-speed vibrators and clitoral massagers.

But there’s no need to go in cold. What you need is a quick guide on the sex toys available. That’s where we come it.

Are there different types of sex toys?

There are a lot of different types of sex toys out there, with something for everyone:

Vibrator — The classic sex toy. Essentially a dildo that provides some buzz, quite literally. For both external and internal use, vibrators will usually have multiple speed and vibration settings to help her (or him) hit the right spot.

Masturbators — A masturbation sleeve is a gadget into which a user inserts their penis. It’s designed to simulate the feel of a vagina, mouth, or anus, depending on the model — and depending on your preference, of course. 

Clitoral Massagers — These cheeky devices target the clitoris and usually simulate oral sex with a sucking or blowing sensation, usually achieved by pumping air. 

Prostate Massagers — This might seem obvious, but prostate massagers are sex toys that slip into the anus and massage the prostate. This can result in a whole new experience — not to mention a game-changing orgasm.

Cock rings — These sex toys wrap about the shaft of the penis and restrict the blood flow. That helps maintain longer, more robust erections. Which means better sex all round,

Dildos and plugs — An old school option. They come in various shapes and sizes, and are simply used to for penetration. Use as a couple or on your own.

Bondage gear — Not a bondage kind of person? How can you be sure until you’ve given it a whirl? Bondage toys are about pushing boundaries and venturing into new territory.

This doesn’t cover everything, but it’s a good place to start.

Which sex toy is right for you and your partner?

For anyone new to the sex toy game, the humble vibrator or a quality cock ring is a great place to start. For couples ready to take things a bit further in the bedroom, remote controlled and app controlled models mean that you can integrate these high-tech gadgets into your love life seamlessly, and completely hands free. They can even help close the physical gap for couples in long distance relationships.

There really is no perfect sex toy for couples, because every couple is different. It’s about having an honest conversation with your partner about your needs and desires, and finding something that ticks those boxes. If the answer is still unclear, we’re sure you can have some fun finding out what works.
