Planning a sexy weekend away with a new lover or hoping to reignite the passion in your relationship? One surefire way to get the sparks flying in the bedroom is the addition of a well-chosen couple’s sex toy (or three) that you can use together.
But if you usually indulge in solo masturbatory fun or broaching the subject of sex toys with a new beau is scary as hell, purchasing a box of dildos to present to your other half on a Friday night might be a bit overwhelming.
So, before we get started let's get one thing straight: sex toys are seriously good fun, chances are your friends and colleagues all own one, and they drastically increase your chances of reaching orgasm. If that's not enough to convince you to invest in your sex life, read on.
The best sex toys for couples
Here are the best sex toys for couples at a glance. Keep scrolling for the full list...
A shared orgasm is arguably one of the greatest joys of sex, and yet surprisingly few heterosexual couples manage to hit the high notes together every time they have sex. In a 2016 study, only 46% of women reported nearly or always reaching orgasm when they got it on, compared to over 90% of men.
There are a number of proven benefits to enjoying a simultaneous orgasm – for one thing you can share in that glorious sex afterglow at the same time, promoting bonding and intimacy. Studies have also shown that this sexual 'glow' can last for up to 48-hours after you get jiggy, and the stronger the bond the better the connection in the long-term, so investing in couple's sex toys that you can use together is actually good for your relationship!
