The use of sex toys can be an uncomfortable discussion for many people. Although plenty of people have embraced them for solo play, their use in a relationship elicits mixed reactions. Many couples shy away from using sex toys with their partners.

In some cases, men feel emasculated or threatened by the introduction of sex toys into the physical intimacy with their partners. Some feel like using them signifies they are not “good enough” which creates awkwardness. Many women also feel like using adult toys with their male partners will make them feel inadequate while others still feel embarrassed about sexual pleasure and thus shy away from embracing sex toys.

Regardless of the reason hindering couples from using them, using toys can enrich a relationship in various ways. Here are a few reasons why you consider using sex toys in your relationship.

1. Sex toys assist in achieving more orgasms

Perhaps climaxing is the top reason both men and women use adult toys. Given the mechanisms in the sex tools, it’s easier to have orgasms. Using toys can especially be useful in helping women climax while playing with a partner. 

Research shows that only 6% of women get penetrative orgasms and most of the women who have vaginal orgasms also require clitoral stimulation. Including toys like vibrators can aid in powerful stimulation. While orgasms shouldn’t be the main focus during physical intimacy, they are a great bonus.

2. They increase intimacy between partners

Many couples find it difficult to talk about sex because they fear such discussions may lead to misunderstandings. Talking about sex toys can lead to a discussion about your sex lives and individual preferences increasing intimacy between partners. Having a conversation about sex tools can break a barrier.

Using toys alone helps individuals explore their bodies better and boosts self-confidence. With a positive body image, individuals, especially women get to love their bodies more which in turn allows them to be more intimate with their partners.

Toys also help maintain intimacy between partners who are miles apart. Some toys come with apps that facilitate play even when in different locations. Coupled with other forms of technology, partners in a long-distance relationship or those separated for a while can still enjoy some form of sexual intimacy.

3. They lead to better sex and relationships

Adventure in the bedroom is a great way to enjoy a quality sex life and relationship. Toys help with spicing things up and you don’t even need to go the Christian Gray and Anastasia Steele way if you’re a bit reserved.

If you’re looking for ways to be more playful, toys help lighten the mood. They are a perfect way to bring out the playful side of partners and eliminate awkwardness, and pressure and increase concentration between lovers. The playful and satisfying environment created during physical intimacy can boost mental wellness and lead to a richer relationship between romantic partners.

Toys also come in handy when a couple is limited in time since you can achieve your desired intensity quickly making them ideal for partners with busy schedules or couples with young children.

4. They can help partners with sexual dysfunction

Some of the most common forms of sexual dysfunction include erectile dysfunction and performance anxiety. Adult toys can help remedy the situation. Riding solo with the toys helps individuals understand their bodies better. It becomes easier to let your partner know your erogenous areas and helps reduce the pressure of performing.

Sex toys are your allies, not a threat

Contrary to many misconceptions about adult toys, they are not a perfect substitute for humans. In fact, it’s not a human versus toys battle. Toys enhance sexual pleasures and complement our strengths. Used correctly, they can enhance a couple’s sexual experiences.

Introducing the idea of incorporating toys can be tricky if you have a conservative partner but don’t give up on them. It’s important to also keep in mind that making your partner feel like they have no choice in the matter could introduce more problems. Get creative on how you go about it and explore other levels of sexual intimacy with your partner.
