In an intimate, loving lesbian relationship, lesbian sex toys can add a pleasurable and exciting level to lovemaking. There is an incredible range of toys available for any couple, but among lesbian couples, the strap-on dildo is perhaps one of the most popular, though some find it a bit of a daunting item to bring into the bedroom initially. For lesbians who desire the sensation of penetration, however, the strap-on can be an exceptionally exciting and endlessly rewarding toy, and can bring a great level of contact to sex.

Strap on dildos come in many different styles, but the first and most important part to take into consideration is the harness. Essentially, any dildo with a flared base can be turned into a strap-on with the use of a harness. Harnesses are made from several different materials, leather being the most common. Leather is most comfortable against the skin, and though it cannot be disinfected, keeping it clean and polished will provide the wearer with a lifetime of sexy fun. Harnesses are also available in nylon, fabric, and vinyl; the fabrics are, of course, machine washable, and vinyl is easily cleaned with soap and water.

Harnesses come in a few different styles, the choice of which depends on the user’s personal taste and which is most comfortable. The G-string style has a single strap between the legs, often providing direct pressure to the genitals during use, which some people enjoy, others do not. This style provides more control than the two-strap harness, which is built more like a jock strap, with two straps running around the buttocks, making for a better fit adjustment. The G-string style is generally considered an easier choice for beginners. Thigh harnesses wrap around the leg, and can be worn by both partners for simultaneous penetration. Also for dual penetration, a double dildo compatible harness is available.

Using a strap-on dildo takes some practice, as it becomes like a new and awkward appendage. Some women may feel self-conscious with the thing dangling between their legs for the first time, but wearing it around the house alone at first may help. The most important part in using a strap-on dildo for the first time in a lesbian relationship is communication. Loving partners can easily get past the awkwardness of the first use together. Plenty of water based lubricant should be used on the dildo, and it is a good idea to penetrate gently with fingers first before charging in with the dildo. A good, consistent pace should be found during the act, again, with good communication between partners.

A strap-on dildo can being an exciting new expression into the bedroom for lesbian couples. With the endless range of styles and sizes, any couple can completely customize this intimate experience, and bring a whole new adventure into lovemaking.

Adult sex toys are no long taboo and are, in fact, sexy must haves for your getaway for two. Taking along a few of your favourite adult toys can liven up not only your sex life but your holiday as well. Having a bit of fun with sex toys will liven up your entire holiday. Here are five must haves for your next break.

For Her

A small sex toy for her, tucked discretely into an overnight bag is a great way to surprise her when you get to your destination. Whether you go for a toy that packs a big wallop or something that delivers small, relaxing vibrations a mini vibrator will have her begging for more. Pack along a bullet buddy or other small vibrator for a bit of after-hours sex play.

For Him

Masturbation cups/tubes are a great choice of toy for any man. Filled with silicone and tiny nubs, these masturbation cups/tubes simulate oral sex like nothing else. Sit back and watch as your man carries himself to new heights or take control and lend a hand. Either way, he’s sure to thank you.

For Couples

For mind-blowing couples fun, bring along a bulleted cock ring like The Big O2. Providing stimulation for both partners, with a bullet at the top and one that rides just under the penis, you’ll not remember what sex was like without it. Make sure you look for one that is waterproof to put a buzz in your shower play.

Sex Toy Cleaner

When packing your overnight bag, don’t forget the sex toy cleaner. Anti-bacterial sex toy cleaners leave you confident that your adult sex toys are clean and safe, free of germs and bacteria.

Lube

There are several kinds of lubricants on the market, from flavoured to warming to just plain old-fashioned lube. No matter which you choose adding lube to your play will make for a fun, slippery time. A flavoured or warming lube is a sure way to increase the intimacy between you both. For a bit of fun, dot some lube where you want to be licked and point your partner in the right direction.

Intimacy is a beautiful expression of love, but what romance novels never seem to mention is that even the hottest relationships can benefit from a little variety now and then. There are many misconceptions about adult sex toys that have caused some potential users to refrain from trying them, and they’ve been unfortunately missing out on one of the best ways to spice up play in the bedroom. Sex toys aren’t shameful, harmful, or something only certain types of people use; in fact, many people have not only tried adult toys but have experienced the benefit of a richer relationship with their partner because of them.

Myths about sex toys often sound intimidating, but have little to no basis in reality. A woman will not become “addicted” to vibrators and force her mate out of bed, nor does a man’s use of a masturbator indicate he no longer desires intimacy with his lover: they simply feel great and act as an additional source of pleasure, not a replacement. Adult toys can help anyone learn more about their body and what turns them on, as well as provide a head start to arousal for deeper, more satisfying sexual interactions with a user’s partner.

Sex toys are more than the handful that most uninitiated users imagine. The traditional “stick” vibrator or realistic dildo are certainly wonderful additions to your intimate explorations, but exotic items like a vibrating cock ring may open whole new worlds of pleasure for the adventurous couple. Waterproof adult toys can turn a bathroom into a steamy sex sauna when used to turn on a partner during a mutual shower, and naughty restraint kits with beginner’s bondage accessories can unleash desires that a nervous but excited mate may be hesitant to ask for.

Excellent for foreplay as well, sex toys help set the mood and invite both lovers into an imaginative state of play that will gently guide them towards the main act. Massage candles, which melt into a warm pool of wax for mutual rubdowns, can relax the body and mind for better sensual focus. Edible body dusts can invite kisses, while playful paddles can turn love taps into something much more intriguing. Lover’s games are a great start for those who don’t know where to begin, instructing players as to their next move and adding a fun element of competition to activities between the sheets.

Adult toys come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, so start small and work up for the most comfortable experience, using a little lubricant for an erotic glide. To keep toys in top shape, invest in good batteries, an easy-to-use toy cleaner spray or liquid and discreet storage cases for safekeeping.

There are many different kinds of lubricants available, each of which sells in their hundreds of thousands every year. The types of lubricants available include those that are used in the automobile industry, those that are used in the marine, metal and industrial sectors, and also those that are intended for personal use. Whatever sector they are used in, they perform the following function: they reduce friction between two moving surfaces which therefore helps to improve efficiency and reduce wear. This article focuses on lubricants that are designed for use in sexual intercourse.

Why use a sexual lubricant?

Many first timers to sex find sexual lubricants very useful. Lubricants, also known by their more colloquial term of lubes, can be a huge benefit to women having intercourse with a male or female partner for the first time. This can be especially the case when the receiving partner is feeling tense. Sexual lubricants can also make first time anal intercourse between male to female or male to male a much easier experience. However, sexual lubricants are not just for first time sex. They can be used whenever a little additional lubrication is required during intercourse. They help to ease the penis or a sex toy into the vagina or anus with less effort which thereby reduces the probability of painful sex.

What kinds of lubricants are available?

Although sexual lubricants offer the more practical benefit of allowing extra moistness during sex, they can also be used to provide additional pleasure. On the most part available as either water, oil or silicone based, lubes range from anal lubricants to flavoured lubes to tasteless and odourless lubricants and are available as jellies, creams and sprays. Although a number of lubricants are designed to be used by both sexes, there are specialist male and female lubricants also available. Male sexual lubricants are designed to be long lasting and to enhance masturbation and add to sexual sensations. Lubricants specifically aimed at females are intended to heighten the sensitivity of a woman’s clitoris and to intensify orgasms. The vast majority of sex lubricants will not to stain or be sticky and wash off easily after use. They can be completely natural feeling or can either provide the skin with a warming or cooling sensation. However, lubricants are not just employed when it comes to penetrative sex. Flavoured lubes are ideal for oral sex. Although lubricants are not essential for all types of sex, they are definitely a must when it comes to anal intercourse because the anus does not produce any natural form of lubrication therefore sex without anal lubricants could prove to be extremely painful.

Sexual lubricants can help to provide pleasurable sex every time whether it be vaginal, anal or oral sex. The important thing to remember is to have fun during sex and sexual lubricants can help to achieve this. A word of warning though, oil based lubricants are not suitable to use with latex condoms as they make the condom ineffectual.
