How sex toys can prolong your orgasm

Using props can boost a relationship, increase intimacy and sexual satisfaction.

You really don't have to make your own red room and try everything à la Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. But you can use props like them.

As it turns out, the benefits of using sex toys in a relationship are many and varied!

Yes, you read that right.

You'll be surprised to know that use of sex toys has increased exponentially over the past decade.

In fact, a recent study suggests that the taboos surrounding the use of sex toys and vibrators are dissolving.

If you have never used one yet, here are seven sex toys you can start with:

Couple's vibrator

It fits right under your labia. It stays put in one place and that means both of you can enjoy the sensation it gives off.

Strap-on vibrator 

This comes especially with an adjustable harness. Mind you, this can be for the more adventurous but with various sizes and weights, it can enhance your sexual experience.

Butt plugs 

They may sound like a torture implement, but once you get a hand of these, your sexual experience will never be the same without them.

These are available in the market in various sizes. And, as the name suggests, it is meant to be worn inside your butt.

Restraints 

Yes, these are just like the sex toys of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, but you don't have to go all the way. You can buy soft restraints to try something new in the bedroom.

Ben Wa Balls

You may have seen in these in the movie 50 Shades of Grey.

They are round silver balls that you place inside your vagina. They not only enhance your sexual experience but also strengthen your kegels and your pelvic floor.

Cock ring 

A silicone ring as the name suggests, is worn over a penis. It has many benefits including prolonged orgasm and extra clitoral stimulation, just to name a few.

Some even come with a battery.

Whip 

You don't need to buy a leather whip. You can start off with something soft and small. Or you can try a few that are available with a feather on the top.

This can be used by both partners.

The fact is that incorporating sex toys in your bedroom can boost a relationship and increase intimacy and sexual satisfaction. However, one needs to be open to their partner's desires and accepting of their rejection as well.

If there is a sense of mutual respect and openness, then you can experience great satisfaction in bed together.
