Introducing sex toys

Sales data for sex toy brand Womanizer show sales numbers are well above projections, with global data year to date showing more than a 50% surge on original forecasts. So
I thought I'd talk a little bit about bringing sex toys into a relationship. Sex toys are a great way to explore your body and what it enjoys. Toys can help you learn what you want from a partner. The process of understanding how you can bring your body pleasure is an incredibly empowering experience. They can facilitate you to uncover a lot more than your fingers allow, while also, playing into fantasies. Sex toys present novel ways of being intimate. The toys can facilitate a wider way of connecting sexually. They also can provide some fun and excitement that may be different and fresh. In order to avoid conflict its vital to talk things through before purchasing. Conflict tends to occur depending on the nature of openness and communication between partners. So it is imperative that clear and effective communication can greatly enhance the experience. Respect and non-judgement is the first part of communicating sexual desires. I always suggest having an open, honest and sober(!) conversation.
Don’t bring a toy home as a surprise if you have not had that conversation and ascertained you are on the same wavelength.
If you decide to bring toys in, bring them in together. Go to a shop together or there are plenty online @sexsiopa is a great place to get anything you need and Shawna is incredibly helpful. @jo.divine is also brilliant with @samtalkssex especially knowledgeable in the area of menopause. So when you're buying your first toy try to remember a few things; consent and communication, buying from a reputable company and try to make it a fun and connecting experience!
