_________________________________________________________
Q. How do you tell a new partner that you enjoy using sex toys? (Nuala, Rathmines)
A. The truth is, many men find sex toys a major turn on, some males are just a little more vocal about it.
It is understandable that you might find the initial conversation a little daunting but it is okay to be nervous.
In this open-minded and liberated society of ours, the use of sex toys and sexual paraphernalia to spice up things in the bedroom is far more extremely common.
We find that the best time to approach the subject is when you’re getting in the mood for romance, an intimate time where you can have an open discussion that will remain between the two of you, (until you tell your best friend).
NOTE: Try to broach the topic in a way that your partner knows that it's not a case of you being unsatisfied with your sex life, but that you’re merely open to experimentation in an effort to push the boundaries.
Q. Can sex toys carry infections? (Sarah, Tipperary).
A. Treat all sex toys like you do your toothbrush. Would you put a dirty toothbrush in your mouth?!
Hygiene is extremely important however is sometimes neglected. A main issue when it comes to using a sex toy is the worry that they may pass on STIs or infections, but here at Secrets Ireland we have some very simple suggestions that will help you easily avoid those types of situations.
- Always clean each toy after use. You can avoid the spread of STIs such as chlamydia, syphilis and herpes.
- All sex toys will come with advice about how to clean and store them so you should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
- Store toys in a clean space.
Q.
I'm trying to encourage my fella into using sex toys, but I am not sure what there is available for men? (Louise, Santry).
A. "Toys are not just for girls." Here at
Secrets Ireland we have always made sure that sex is enjoyed by everyone.
We have a massive selection of toys, or sexual-enhancement-tools if you prefer to call them that, for lads that are great for solo pleasure or for couples to enjoy too. Sharing is caring, after all.
From
masturbators,
vibrating cock rings and
penis pumps, to
realistic vaginas styled on some of the best-known pornstars, we have it all.
Male sex toys are great for added pleasure and for a realistic feel, but best of all, a toy will open up your sex life to new dimensions AND you won’t have to buy it a birthday present.
Sex should be fun and exciting, not boring and mundane, so if you want to try something new then you can check out the wide range of products on the Secrets Ireland website over here.
