Most couples see sex as a cornerstone of a healthy relationship. After all, it’s a need that most of us have and want to act on, though how the sex goes down is certainly not universal to every person or pair. Many are satisfied with a no-frills, toy-free approach to sex and wouldn’t do anything to change that – and that’s totally fine! But many couples will venture beyond what only their bodies are capable of achieving by introducing sex toys into the bedroom. While these accessories can certainly help both get their rocks off, there are other benefits to using sex toys that you might not have thought of before.
So, what are These Benefits?
Let’s dive in and discuss how sex toys can enhance your relationship, both within and outside of the bedroom!
It Improves Communication
Buying and using sex toys is something that requires honest and upfront communication between two partners who trust each other. You need to discuss your desires, your curiosities, and how to satisfy these desires in a way that both of you can appreciate. These conversations can feel awkward to have at first, but it is never a bad thing to have an honest conversation with your partner.
It Takes the Pressure Off
Many couples face the issue of one partner having a higher libido than the other, or conflicting schedules that make intimacy less frequent than both would like. While there may not be much you can do to change these circumstances, at least not in the moment, you can take some of the pressure off of each other by introducing sex toys into your separate masturbation sessions. Sex toys enhance masturbation – not just sex – which helps keep a couple sane during unwanted dry spells.
Additionally, many men and women deal with performance anxiety in the bedroom. Sex toys can help bolster confidence by giving one or both of you a helping hand in getting off. It’s no secret that many women don’t orgasm from penetration alone, so a sex toy can help reduce the orgasm disparity often observed in opposite sex relationships.
It Opens the Mind
When you introduce your first sex toy to your relationship, this can be like opening your eyes to another world, a brand new realm of sex-positivity and deeper fulfillment. Once you experience the benefits of that first sex toy, who knows where your sexual adventures will bring you!
