The Best Couple Toys to Heighten Intimacy

Sex toys for couples can enhance intimacy and offer new types of pleasure. From toys that stimulate the clit, penis, and G spot to ones that are designed with the LGBTQIA+ community in mind, there are options for everyone.

There are a few things to bear in mind when choosing a couples toy: ensure it aligns with your physical and sensual preferences, and make sure you pair it with lube.

1. Strap-on dildos

A dildo that is strap-on is a great way partners can explore penetrative playing together. This set-up consists of a harness that goes over the wearer's pelvis and a dildo sporting a flared base that gets passed through an O-ring on the harness. The combination of dildos with O-rings can offer a solid grip on the pelvic muscles. This can be a very rewarding experience for some. The dildo's head is generally designed to stimulate the g spot for women, or the prostate for males. Some harnesses have a textured base to increase friction and stimulation when you are piercing. This SpareParts harness is one of them. Some strap-ons have pockets that can hold the power bullet-style vibration for the partner’s pleasure.

If this sounds like a lot of work it's a good idea to give it a shot to see if you're looking to play with erotic penetrative grinding. Keep in mind that it can be difficult to find a comfortable fit using the latest dildo or harness, and it's important for both parties to be aware of how to utilize the tool correctly so that they don't experience discomfort or pain.

Contact a sexologist to get more details. They will show you how to play on your partner. You can also ask a seasoned sex shop employee for recommendations. If you're unable to go to a physical shop check out reviews online or on the website of the toy maker to get an idea of what options you have.

Another method to maximize the fun of the strap-on is to choose one that has the option of a remote control. This allows couples to experience the excitement of controlling the toy with just a few clicks.

2. Bouncing dildos

The most enjoyable bouncing dildos that combine a ball's g-spot with a vibrating cock. This hands-free toy lets you experience both pleasure points while leaving your hands free to play with other sex toys. It's an excellent choice for sexually explicit Genital Play.

These dildos are built with an element that holds the shaft in place while you bounce. The base is usually composed of silicone to give it a silky and smooth feel. The majority have a hole in the top sex toys for couples for the insertion. They also work with oils that are safe for the body. These toys are perfect for those who are just beginning their journey and don't want to be worried about losing control.

Some bouncing dildos come with suction cups on the bottom of their shafts. These are more subtle than other types of dildos, with flat bases with a concave design to create the vacuum. This is perfect for couples who want to test out sexual stimulation with a partner without having to worry about losing control or dropping the toy onto a carpet or shower tile.

A dildo that has an added weight is another option. These are typically found in men's toys however, some companies offer these for women, too. Fun Factory's Stronic G (starts at $170) and b-vibe's Snug Plug ($125) are two examples.

A dildo that is stuck to the wall is an option for couples who enjoy hands-free sexual stimulation. In their wild fantasies, a lot of men imagine a woman riding one of these daddy-dos. They're also an effective method to experience G-spots during oral sexual sex.

3. Bed restraints

The six points of connection allow you to add collars, cuffs and more to create your ideal setup.

4. Vibrating ring

This vibrating ring is perfect for couples who want internal stimulation. It comes with an arm built-in and a cock ring that vibrates against the perineum. The ring made of silicone is constructed of an elastic material that fits over the shaft. It has five vibration settings. The ring is waterproof to play in the shower or bath.

For added gratification, slip this ring onto an erect penis with the bump of the cock ring facing forward during the sex. The toy will vibrate when the bump contacts the clitoral ridges, and increases your partner's pleasure. It is specifically designed for sex between couples, but it can also be used on its own as well, to provide an intense, penetrative experience. It can be used by blowing it or handing it to add a playful feeling to vaginal and oral sex.

5. Lubricant

Certain types of lubricants are better than others. Sex toys that work with lubricant are specifically designed for couples and can enhance the pleasure of having an orgasm, or even playtime. A sex toy specifically designed for couples is usually aimed at the clit, prostate, or G-spot. Some even double as oral masturbators.

A sex toy is a great option to spice up a relationship and allow you to break out of your routine. It's important to remember that a sex-toy for couples is not a replacement for your partner.

If you're just beginning your journey into the sex toy world we suggest starting with something simple and easy, like a bullet vibe.
