Sex Toys and Other Sexual Aids Spice up your sex life with vibrators and other sex toys.

Sex toys are a great way to fire up a sexual relationship that has gotten stale, keep an already great sex life exciting, or find new ways to bring pleasure to yourself and your partner. Some people may be embarrassed or nervous about bringing sex toys into the bedroom, but if you first talk with your partner about his or her comfort level with the idea, you may find that you're both willing to try.
Types of Sex Toys
"Vibrators and other sex toys or devices can help bring increased pleasure and intimacy in a couple's sexual relationship," says Evelyn Fisboin, MS, a registered marriage and family therapist intern at the Mind Spectrum Institute in North Miami Beach, Fla. "Vibrators can aid in peoples’ sexual skills. They can also increase the individual’s and their partner's pleasure, and can enrich their sex lives," says Fisboin.
But don't limit yourself to experimenting with one sex aid when there are so many out there:
  • Ben Wa balls. These are a set of metal balls that are placed inside the vagina and vibrate when the two balls come into contact with one other. Ben Wa balls can be used by women alone, or by couples together.
  • Pre-shaped (not rolled) condoms. Also called novelty condoms or French ticklers. These shaped condoms can stimulate the inside of the vagina for better sensation during intercourse.
  • Penis rings or extenders. These sex toys can help the penis seem larger. A penis ring can also help an erection last longer. (Also called C-rings)
Creams and oils featuring different scents, flavors, and textures can also be used as sensual aids. They can make the skin feel smooth and soft, and flavor the skin for oral sex or body kissing. They may also be used as lubricants.
Sex Toy Safety
"Sex toys are made out of porous materials, and the pores make it difficult to clean the toy fully; therefore, remember to always put a condom on the sex toy before using it and take it off when you are done; this will contribute to better hygiene," notes Fisboin.
Make sure that toys are always cleaned properly so that sex with sex aids stays safe and sanitary. Infections and other diseases can be spread via sex toys just as they can during unprotected intercourse.
If you are using sex aids to enhance both vaginal and anal sex, you should change condoms in between positions, according to Fisboin.
"If you are using the same sex toy for anal and for vaginal penetration, then you also have to use a fresh condom for anal penetration and a fresh one for vaginal penetration. This avoids transmitting infections from the anus to the vagina," says Fisboin.
Talk About Sex Toys
"Remember that having open and honest communication is key. Do some research, learn about the different products and sex toys that are out in the market. When you and your partner decide that the time is right, go out and purchase a sex toy and start a safe, fun, and exciting journey to increased pleasure in your sexual relationship," says Fisboin.
