The Sex Toy Novice
Is your lover new to sex toys? Want to surprise him or her with a little something sexy for a special occasion? This is such a fun situation to find yourself in: A whole world of sex toys and choices awaits, and your lover gets to try out a toy for the very first time, sharing the experience with you. Nothing could be hotter, sexier, or more intimate.
Will your gift be a surprise? While slow seductions and planned fantasies are among life's exquisite pleasures, giving your sweetie something you know they're not expecting -but want- makes for an unforgettable tryst. Yet if its too unexpected, you might be met with shock, or worse. Make sure he or she has some idea that something hot's coming. Presenting someone with a sex toy when they're having a bad day, feel exhausted, or wish they'd showered before seeing you might make them feel awkward, or pressured. Plan ahead for a successful 'reveal', and make sure you've had some indication that they'd like to get frisky with you - and with the novelty of a sex toy.
If you don't talk with each other about sex or haven't even broached the topic, a sex toy might not be the right way to get the conversation started. In fact, if the idea of sex toys is totally new to your lover and you give them a bright pink buzzing bunny, it might startle them so much that it closes a door in your relationship for some time to come. Make sure you know they're even remotely interested in sexual play or experimentation beforehand, by chatting about it. You don't need to give away your surprise or plans for seduction, but do lightly check in with him or her about trying something new in bed, just the two of you - this way, you can fish around for anything that might be potentially "off the list" so that you don't end up being a "bad Santa".
If you want to surprise your honey with a sex toy present that takes you out of your sexual routines (or a rut), you're gonna have to be the one to start talking about it. This will be easy if you talk about sex and experimentation regularly in your relationship, though a bit daunting if you never talk about sex just do it. Tellng him or her that you want to try something new sexually can feel stressful - and if it's motivated by a secret fantasy, this is an understatement. In fact, even thinking about talking about sex is stressful sometimes! If you've never brought up the subject of sex with your partner, don't worry. If you have what you consider a routine style of sex, telling your partner that you want something to change is scary, and starting a conversation about your desires to sexually experiment can make you feel vulnerable. This is as true with familiar sexual fantasies that predate your relationship as it is with new fantasies you discover as time goes by. Opening yourself up and asking for something you want sexually takes courage - but it also gives you an opportunity to learn more about what your lover likes and dislikes.
If you're the one bringing it up, reverse the roles for a minute:
If you don't normally talk about sex in your relationship and then suddenly one of you wants to, it might be upsetting - at first. Your lover may wonder if you've been withholding sexual secrets all along. But it's very likely that your opening up to them will give your lover the opportunity to tell you what's on their mind about sex, too.
This book is absolutely fantastic for both beginners and the more experienced sex toy users among us, as it's full of very useful information. Violet has no quarms in naming and shaming shoddy companies as well as advising on the more reliable, high quality stores available. I have learned so much from reading this book and will use what I now know to help me with future sex toy reviews ...thanks Violet!!
If you're stuck in a rut or just want to learn a bit more, then this is definitely the book for you.
