To help you get started, we’ve got our in-house sexologist and sex toy tester, Sandra Larson, ready to spill the beans. So, let’s get the lowdown on all the awesome benefits of adult devices in a marriage!

Benefits Of Sex Toys In Marriage

Any certified sex therapist worth his or her salt won’t deny that the use of a sex toy will certainly help a marriage in different ways. There are just so many benefits ranging from improved sexual pleasure to better communication, to name a few. Here are some of them that you’ll surely enjoy:

Enhancement of Sexual Well-being

Sex toys are like a magic wand for jazzing up your intimate time. They open up a world of new explorations for you and your partner’s bodies, leading to some seriously satisfying moments. Struggling with challenges like not feeling ‘in the mood’, or the big O playing hard to get? Sex toys are here to lend a hand!

Want data to back it up? We got you! According to a PubMed study, it shows that when people are sexually satisfied and feel good about their sex life, it positively affects their mental and physical health, as well as their overall happiness and well-being. By bringing them into your marriage, you’re signing up for teamwork in conquering those intimate challenges and cranking up the joy in your bedroom shenanigans. What not to love!

Improving Mental Health

Let’s face it, grown-up life can be stressful and sometimes it can take a toll on your mental health. That’s where introducing sex toys comes in handy. Using sex toys in your marriage can actually improve your mental health. According to Psychology Today, sex toys can boost self-esteem and improve mental health.

Using sex toys or other marital aids in your marriage can also help you relax and reduce stress. It lets you feel more confident and in control of your sexuality. When you feel good about yourself, it can have a positive impact on your mental health. So, don’t shy away from trying something fresh and heating things in the bedroom with a sex toy. Being open to new experiences and diving into your sexuality can pave the way for improved communication and a deeper emotional bond with your partner.

Fostering Healthy Communication

Let’s be real – talking about sex can be a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but it’s a crucial part of keeping a relationship healthy. Here’s where adult devices come in as unexpected conversation starters. Bringing a new toy into the mix opens up the dialogue about what gets you both going and what might not be your cup of tea. It’s like a fun way to share your preferences. This kind of open conversation can deepen your understanding of each other’s desires and, ultimately, give a serious boost to your private time. So, why not let a little adult toy break the ice and make those talks a tad less awkward?

In addition to improving communication about sex, adult devices can also help break down barriers and increase intimacy between partners. Trying something new together can create a sense of adventure and excitement. It can also help build trust and strengthen the emotional connection between partners. So don’t be afraid to bring up the topic of adult devices with your partner. It may be the key to unlocking a more fulfilling and satisfying bedroom jam.

Increasing Sexual Self-awareness

Knowing yourself in the bedroom is a big deal for a healthy sexual relationship. It’s about tuning into your quirks, what gets you going, what doesn’t, and all those little things in between. So bringing adult devices into your marriage is like little guides helping you and your partner figure out the lay of the land. Well, you know, studies even say that in most women, just doing the deed isn’t enough to reach orgasm. A little bit of stimulation to their sensitive spot using a vibrator serves as extra help to reach the big “O”.

It’s Fun!

Think of sex toys as the grown-up version of playthings for the bedroom, because they are! Whether you’re looking to spice things up or just want to try something new, sexual devices can help you and your partner explore your sexual desires and fantasies safely and enjoyably.

Bringing sex toys into the picture isn’t just about the physical stuff; it’s like a teamwork activity for you and your partner. Sure the orgasm is enjoyable, but trying out new things together in the bedroom as a bonding experience, helping to build trust and emotional closeness in your relationship- nothing beats that. It’s like a special journey you embark on as a married couple. Besides, using a sex toy is a way of saying, “Hey, I care about your pleasure and happiness.”

How To Introduce Sex Toys In Marriage?

Let’s chat about how to bring this up without any awkwardness- it’s all about open and easy-going communication. Maybe over a cozy dinner or a relaxed evening, just bring up the topic. You know, something like, ‘Hey, since we’re exhausted from all the sex positions there are, how about we try out some toys in the bedroom?’ Make sure to stress that it’s about adding some extra sizzle, not a comment on your current sex life because some people might not take it as well as others, that’s coming from another sex expert Dr. Kat Van Kirk [3]. It’s important everyone’s on the same page and excited to explore together. And please remember, never push your partner into trying something they don’t want. Consent is sexy!

How To Use Sex Toys as A Couple?

It kicks off with a heart-to-heart talk. Communication is like the superhero power here! Discuss your desires openly with your partner, ensuring you’re both comfortable and excited about the prospect. It’s like planning a joint mission for pleasure.

Next, start small. You don’t need to go all out and buy the biggest, most expensive toy on the market. Start with something simple, like a bullet vibrator or a cock ring. Experiment with different textures, shapes, and sizes to find what you both enjoy.

Don’t be afraid to get creative! Sex toys can be used in a variety of ways, not just for penetrative sex. Use a vibrator on your partner to stimulate erogenous zones like the nipples or clitoris, or use a blindfold to heighten your senses. The possibilities are endless!

Just a warning from a Christian standpoint, you should not let sexual devices take the place of real, heartfelt intimacy in our relationships. It’s like a friendly nudge to keep the connection authentic and meaningful.

What Sex Toy Should You Get?

It’s time to buy them sex toys! And this is where you can get creative. You can choose to explore the world of vibrators (like G-spot or P-spot vibes), dildos, and maybe even some playful butt plugs or cock rings – there’s a whole spectrum out there. Are you into clitoral action, penetration, or maybe a bit of both? Do you want a toy solely focused on the male partner’s penis? Do you want something for foreplay or to amp up the excitement during the main event? Once you’ve got that figured out, it’s time to go shopping. There are loads of options out there, so you can start exploring user-friendly options and find the perfect fit for what you’re looking for. It’s like picking out your favorite dessert – you want something just right for your taste!

For example, we have Dame Eva, which has become a fan favorite, especially for couples who are quite in a pinch. This beginner-friendly couples vibrator is such a good buy because it’s made from medical-grade silicone which is easy to clean and body-safe. This wearable couples’ vibrator is hands-free meaning your partner’s hands (and yours) are free to explore each other’s body parts. Feel free to experiment with various positions while giving the Dame Eva vibrator a spin!

If you’re all about clitoral stimulation, a vibrator is your go-to. They’ve got all sorts – from small bullet vibes to bigger wand massagers – and they’re like little pleasure powerhouses. Now, if you’re looking for something during the penetration party, a dildo or a rabbit vibrator could be your new best friend. And guess what? There’s even a dual-action vibrator that can do both jobs. For a penis-dominant sex toy that still gives the thrills to their partner, a cock ring would be the option. Feel free to mix things up with different textures and shapes to find what rocks your world the most.

For our male readers out there that are intrigued by cock rings, here’s our list of the best cock rings for you to choose from.
