Valentine’s Day gift ideas for a friend
Buying a Valentine’s Day gift for your bestie is a super cute way to let them know that you care about their sexual pleasure. However, unless you know all the details about your friend’s likes and dislikes in the bedroom, it could be hard to buy something that will knock their socks off.
How to pick a sexual present for her
If you have no idea where to start, I would suggest buying them a toy that stimulates the clitoris, as most people with vaginas need extra clitoral stimulation to get off. Some companies, such as WeVibe and Lovense, make vibrators that connect and control through mobile apps. This allows the person to create her own vibrational patterns or select the intensity of the vibrations. This makes a great gift for a friend, as they can modify the settings to something just right for them.
A gift for the friend who has everything
If you're struggling to find a gift for your friend, a stylish bottle of lube is a gift that everyone appreciates. Numerous bottles on the market look cute and classy enough to place on a nightstand without breaking the bank — many coming in at around $25. If you're buying lube to be used with a toy made from silicone, make sure you're buying water-based lube, as silicone-based lube will damage the silicone on the toy.
Valentine’s Day gift ideas for a boyfriend
If you're shopping for your partner or boyfriend, things should be a little easier as you should have a better idea of what they're into. If you're not too sure, consider having a conversation with them about exploring new things in the bedroom to gauge what they might like.
How to pick a sexual present for him
If you’d prefer to keep it a surprise, and your partner has a penis, you have many great options. Some amazing couples' toys are available that will make sex between you and your partner that much more special on Valentine's Day night. Toys such as the Lelo Tiani Duo can be inserted into the vagina, and worn during penetrative sex, allowing each partner to feel pleasure from the toy's vibrations. If you’d prefer a toy that can be used together but aren't interested in an insertable, look into buying your partner a vibrating cock ring that stimulates the clitoris during sex. A vibrating cock ring can also be used during solo play, so you get the best of both worlds.
If you want to buy your partner an inexpensive gift that can be used for solo play only, I’d suggest buying a Tenga egg. These toys are designed like a sleeve that fits over the penis and come in a wide variety of ribbed patterns, making solo play much more fun.
Is a prostate massager a good idea?
Prostate massagers are a great toy for people who love anal and prostate play. If your partner loves it when you pleasure his prostate during sex, then buying them a vibrating prostate massager could be the perfect Valentine's gift. If your partner hasn't communicated to you that they enjoy anal or prostate play, then buying them a prostate massager probably isn't the best idea. If you think it is something they'd enjoy, have a conversation with them before purchasing to gauge how they feel about the toy.
Toys and partnered sex: where to start
If you'd like to start using sex toys with your partner, have a conversation about doing so rather than surprising them with the toy. Creating a space where you and your partner can talk openly about sex and pleasure will help each partner feel comfortable introducing new things to the bedroom. During this conversation, set aside time to introduce the toy to your partner. When it's time to introduce the toy to your partner, start by using it on yourself, as this will teach your partner how you like to be pleasured. Once they're comfortable, you can start experimenting with other ways to use the toys. Try using the toy in multiple positions until you find something that works for you and your partner. You can also get creative and use the toy while they're performing oral sex on you or while you're performing oral sex on them.
Valentine's Day is the perfect time to heat things up in the bedroom activity. Though certain sex toys may not be for everyone, the industry has something for even the shyest prude. However, the right plaything can be a surefire to spice up sexual play in the bedroom. If you find something that you and your partner both feel comfortable experimenting with, any day can be as hot-n-spicy as Valentine's Day night.
