Want to Buy Sex Toys for Valentine’s Day? Keep These Trends in Mind
What you should consider when purchasing pleasure for your partner
Adult toys are a great way to spice up your sex life, and when you buy them for your partner for Valentine’s Day, you can both reap the benefits of these handy little devices. However, not everyone knows where to start. To help people navigate their way around this erotic terrain, Adam & Eve’s resident sexologist Dr. Jenni Skyler discussed the sex toy trends consumers should keep in mind.
“Sex toys can help turn good sex into great sex — and so-so sex into good sex.”
Prioritizing Self-Care
Masturbation is not just for each individual orgasm, it’s a form of self-love and self-care that everyone should have in their bag of tricks — making sex toy gifts an excellent way to show your partner how much you love them and care about their overall well-being. And according to Skyler, more and more people are making self-care a priority to mitigate the stresses of everyday life.
“The general population is realizing that self-love is real love, and the benefits of masturbation are limitless,” Skyler explained. “From lowering stress levels to improving sleep to relieving menstrual cramps, masturbation really is a self-care at its core.”
Using More Lubricants
People don’t necessarily turn to lubricants when they have sex or use sex toys, but they absolutely should. Skyler says that although there are popular misconceptions about the use of lube, we should embrace it and incorporate it into our partnered and solo sex to make it more pleasurable.
“The benefits of masturbation are limitless.”
“Lubricant? I say ‘lubrican!’” said Skyler. “For years, there’s been a stigma around lubricants — they are for menopausal women or couples who aren’t that into each other anymore. Finally, the lubricant is having its day in the sun. Individuals and couples are realizing that there is a plethora of lubricants to meet every need.…Many lubricants double as massage oils and help couples feel more comfortable bringing up the subject. Lubricants for certain toys ensure they don’t tug or pull on delicate skin. I encourage adults to test out a variety of samples to see what resonates with them.”
Making Toys a Regular Part of Sex
When we think about sex toys, we generally think about them in terms of solo sex. However, Skyler says that couples are increasingly incorporating sex toys into their partnered sex, which is a great way to spice up their sex life and take their pleasure to another level.
“Sex toys can help turn good sex into great sex — and so-so sex into good sex,” Skyler said. “By adding a penis ring or bullet vibe to your routine lovemaking, you automatically heighten the sensations and improve your odds at orgasm. I believe 2023 will be about couples keeping sexual health in mind with all sexual activities.”
