Sex toys in a relationship

Lets face it sex at the start of a relationship involves maximum effort in the bedroom, car, field, changing rooms in M&S. The question is what happens after the initial surge: after year 4, kids, Saturday football, shopping trolleys and a demanding boss? The truth is those couples that stay happy in the sex stakes have to make an effort and that means giving some priority to the sexual side of their relationship. We all know failed relationships are on the up -World divorce statistics for the UK stand at 53% (Italy and Uzbekistan are 12%).But where public stoning or hell fire and damnation don't act as a deterrent how do we keep positive communication alive in our relationships? A good physical relationship certainly paves the way (Look at celebrity married couple Sting & Trudie Styler, who openly discuss their active sex life & Tantric marathons) Sharing sexual desires are paramount: take time over foreplay, consider your partners desires and explore each others fantasies.Those that play together stay together and with that in mind here's what our toy testing couples had to say about their favourite toys and the best ways to play with them –Enjoy!
The Cock Ring– Our couples favourite!The perfect toy to ensure a satisfying orgasm for her whilst maintaining an erection for him. Some preferred our non-vibrating (Purple Cock Ring with a steel ball) yet all agreed that the vibrating versions certainly guaranteed a climax. Couples choice- The Dinky Ring/Vibrating love ring
Mini Vibrator– Lots of our couples use a mini vibrator regularly whilst lovemaking. Many women can't climax through penetration alone and the mini vibe enables a flexible approach to clitoral stimulation during sex as it doesn't get in the way or as one guy stated 'make you feel inferior'. The favoured position is 'doggy style' which allows full access whilst the mini vibrator is used from the front. Couples Choice- Discretion Vibe/Mini Smooth vibe/Velvet touch
Buzzing Finger/Stimulator – Great for use during sex as with the mini vibe, yet lots of our couples liked to use them during foreplay for mutual stimulation. The non phallic nature of the vibrators allow for stimulation all over the body and our male testers liked the feeling of them over the sensitive areas of the penis. The tongue joy 'takes out the hard work' as one person put it and the ladies were not complaining.Couples choice- 5 finger vibe/Zingfinger/Tongue joy
Orgasm Boosters – The Flower & Rocket balm appears to be staple of the bedside drawer with our couples saying that the sensations were great and the taste good at the same time. The ladies thought that using an enhancer during foreplay heightened sensitivity during sex and made climax easier or more enjoyable. Our couples find that using an oil or balm on their partners made them linger on the erogenous zones and provided a longer sensual foreplay.Couples Choice – Rocket/Flower Balm/Original Oil of Love/Oral Delights kit
Bullets – Bullets by their very design provide great clitoral stimulation and our couples used them for foreplay for this purpose. The favoured type came as a kit and had various attachments for male use also i.e.: anal. Some testers had used the remote bullet and one pair admitted to an addiction to public outings with the bullet firmly ensconced in knickers!Couples choice – 4 play couples kit/Vibro pulse pleasure/Miyakodori
The Dildo/strap on – Strap on fun is certainly a firm favourite in the bedroom! Our couples of all sexual orientations enjoy the experience and suggest looking carefully at preferences on size, shape and materials used. Couples choice – Alias female strap on/Flame harness kit/Feeldoe
Love beads – Lots of couples enjoy anal stimulation during sex. The beads prove a firm favourite with a preference for the softer bendy type. Lots of recommendation for the Mantric beads as the vibrations enhance pleasure during lovemaking for him or her.Couples choice – Bendy beads/Dinky beads.
