Pleasure is better when you’re both in on it.
Bringing up sex toys with a partner can feel like walking a tightrope—what if they get offended? What if they think they’re not enough? What if it makes things awkward?
Here’s the truth: when done right, this convo can actually strengthen your intimacy, not shake it. Talking about pleasure preferences, curiosities, and yes—even toys—is one of the most connective things you can do in a relationship. Let’s break down how to do it confidently, kindly, and with a little sexy flair.
Start With Curiosity, Not Critique
The golden rule: don’t make it about what your partner isn’t doing. Make it about what you’d love to explore together.
Try:
- “I read about this toy couples use together and it made me curious—would you want to check it out with me?”
- “Have you ever wondered what it would be like if we tried a remote-control toy?”
This keeps the focus on discovery, not on “fixing” something.
Pick the Right Moment
Timing is everything. Don’t drop the topic mid-thrust. Instead, bring it up when you’re both relaxed and connected:
-
During pillow talk after sex, when oxytocin is high.
-
On a chill Sunday morning over coffee in bed.
-
While scrolling online together, sending flirty “what about this one?” ideas.
Keep it light, exploratory, and pressure-free. A simple “Wanna talk about spicing things up?” is a great door-opener.
Know Your Why
Before the conversation, ask yourself what you’re looking for:
-
Closeness? (bondage gear for new dynamics together)
When you can say, “This could be fun for us,” instead of, “I need this,” it sets the tone for shared benefit.
Start Small (and Fun!)
Ease in with something approachable and couple-friendly:
-
Bullet vibes (tiny but powerful)
-
Remote-controlled toys you can play with together
-
Massage candles and lubes for a sexy warm-up
If your partner is hesitant, suggest trying it once—no commitment, just curiosity.
Make It a Shared Discovery
Turn toy shopping into foreplay:
-
Send each other favorites and react.
-
Make a date night of browsing couples’ kits.
-
Let them pick something that excites them.
That way, it’s not just your idea—it’s a joint adventure.
If They’re Nervous, Reassure Them
Some people worry toys means replacement. Here’s what you can say:
- “You turn me on. This is just a way to explore even more together.”
- “It’s not about replacing you—it’s about amplifying us.”
Bottom Line
The key is curiosity, timing, and keeping it sexy—not clinical. Think of it as an invitation, not an ultimatum. When you treat toys as part of the fun you share—not a fix for what’s missing—your partner will be much more likely to say yes.
