Introducing sex toys: Fellas, don’t be jealous

Leanne Osmond - Essential Credentials (Tom Bateman/AQ)

By now, we should all know – or at least kind of know – that women are incredibly complex creatures. I’m not only talking about what goes on in those analytic heads of ours, we’re complex in other ways too.

Most women have a hard time climaxing through intercourse alone – it’s no fault of any man, it’s more of a biological thing. This isn’t the case for everyone, but there are plenty of women who know exactly what I’m talking about.

So how can we all enjoy our sexual encounters a little bit better? Well, by mixing things up a bit. One great way to do that: sex toys.

Introducing sex toys into the bedroom can be a tricky thing to do without hurting anyone’s feelings. Some men are the ones who bring it up first, and to those men I say, Bravo.

Depending on the guy, when women broach the subject it’s taken as a sort of slap in the face. I understand why some men take it that way, but I highly doubt your lady wants to bring along that vibrator of hers because you’re clueless in bed. If you really were clueless, she’d probably be going to bed with someone else.

Bringing it up doesn’t have to be a big deal coming from either side. Girls who already have toys are obviously okay with the idea, and let’s face it, we’ve come a long way since kindergarten: we can share our toys.

And guys, if this is something you want to try, just say so. I doubt your partner will turn down the prospect of more pleasure—that would just be silly.

There’s no need to be jealous of that little best friend that makes your partner moan. Nothing beats being intimate with another person, so it’s not like anyone is going to be replaced with a Battery Operated Boyfriend – otherwise known as BOB – because BOB can only do so much. Sure, he can give you incredible orgasms, but only if you make him.

Bringing sex toys into the bedroom isn’t only for the ladies. Men can benefit too once they get comfortable with the idea. Vibrating rings exist and make sex extra fun for both parties, going around the penis and hitting a girl’s c-spot. This is probably a better option for guys who are a little weirded out by the idea of bringing in a full-fledged vibrator – baby steps, you know?

Once everyone is comfortable, sex toys can really make your scandalous moments great.

So fellas, don’t be jealous if your lady wants to bring a toy to bed. You do a great job, but it’s hard to do it all at once. Let the vibe take care of the sweet spots and you can worry about the rest. In a combined effort, you’ll really make that partner of yours sing.
