Although its percentage of belief has decreased, the main myth of using these products is that they are to replace the couple. Also that they are only made for singles or that they are used by people who are addicted to sex. However, Sex toys are suitable for everyone and are tools that we have within our reach to have fun and discover other sensations..
There are different types of toys on the market for various stimuli. The variety is very wide and continues to spread. But how to choose your ideal sex toy? How to tell your partner to use them? What are the benefits of using them as a couple? In life and style We talked with Karimme Reyes, a sexologist at bananamelon to solve these and other doubts.
“The main thing is to inform us about the sex toys that are available, to see which ones are used in which sexual organ; which ones are for the first time, which ones are for an advanced level or some more to play something specific”.
“A recommendation to start exploring sex toys is to use your hands first. There is nothing better than starting with your hands to get in touch with these sensations and to know what is happening with your body; later it goes to the toy”, says Karimme.
In the case of women who want to use these tools, the main area of interest should be the clitoris -organ intended for pleasure-, for this reason she recommends using a first-time toy for external use, for example a massager or vibrator, but of external use. In the case of men who also want to start using toysKarimme recommends choosing the masturbators.
Benefits of using sex toys as a couple
Two main benefits of using these tools with your partner are that increase trust and complicity. “There are toys that no one will find out they are using, some even include a remote control. In this way, you give control to your partner, it generates complicity”, says the sexologist Karimme.
“You even open the channel of communication because to use these products you must agree with your partner on what places, at what time, for how long and at what intensity they are going to use them.”
Another benefit is that increase the chances of achieving an orgasm, because although it is not the purpose, the brain is activated and hormones are released that make one feel happiness, relaxation and even a type of attachment to the couple. According to Karimme, we begin to secrete oxytocin, known as the ‘love hormone’ or ‘attachment hormone’ because once it is released, we feel more attached to our partner.
Sex toys facilitate orgasm
“Sex toys make orgasm easier, but it doesn’t apply to everyone. There are people who take longer, some find it very strong while others need more power, it’s just a matter of exploring and getting to know ourselves through them, ”she adds.
