How To Introduce Sex Toys Into Your Relationship
Introducing sex toys into your relationship can be an exciting way to deepen intimacy, enhance pleasure, and explore new grounds in your relationship. However, bringing up the topic of sex toys requires communication, trust, and respect.
At TENGA, we believe in “Creating a World Where Life is Enriched with Pleasure,” and enriching your relationship with enhanced sexual pleasure can be an overall life improvement.
Let’s take a look at what steps we can take to comfortably introduce sex toys into your sexual relationship, and what couples’ toys are a good place to start.

Talk To Your Partner About It
The first step to introducing sex toys into your relationship is open and honest communication. Bringing up the idea can feel intimidating, but approaching the conversation with caution and respect is key.
The first thing to consider is where to have this intimate conversation, so be sure to choose somewhere private and comfortable. Make sure not to insinuate that you’re trying to solve a problem in the bedroom, but more so that you’re curious about trying sex toys.
Encourage your partner to share their feelings without judgment. There’s no right or wrong response to the topic being brought-up, so be open to whatever response may come your way and be fluid in your conversation.
Shop For Toys Together
Once you and your partner are on the same page, consider shopping for toys together. This step allows both of you to explore your options, learn about different products, and find something that excites you both.
You can visit a local store or browse online retailers that offer a wide selection of sex toys. Look for shops that emphasize education, inclusivity, and customer reviews to ensure a positive shopping experience.
On TENGA Store Europe, there are a wide variety of sex toys to choose from that can be used with your partner. If you’re looking to just test the waters, it might be good to start with the low-cost disposable items such as the TENGA EGG or the iroha petit. If you’ve agreed to jump right into something advanced, a reusable masturbator such as the ones from the FLIP ZERO Series, or a more powerful vibrator such as the iroha mai are good choices.
Start With Something Simple
When incorporating sex toys into your relationship for the first time, there’s a good chance that keeping things simple is the best approach at the start. Trying to jump straight into more complex products might feel overwhelming unless all parties involved are well-experienced.
Some beginner-friendly couples’ items from TENGA include:
TENGA UNI: The TENGA UNI’s gender-free design makes it compatible with any user, partner, or couple. Stretched over your fingers for external use, or over your shaft to use as a masturbation sleeve, they make for great masturbators as well as couples’ items.
TENGA SVR: Give your fingers or your shaft an extra boost in sensations and spice up your relationship with our front-running couples’ item. A vibrating cock-ring wrapped in soft silicone makes for a great introductory couples item.
Experiment And Have Fun
Introducing sex toys should be a fun and pleasurable experience. Approach it with an open mind, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes and test and learn what works for you and your partner.
Trying all sorts of different toys is part of the fun, and you can even experiment between incorporating the toys into foreplay or intercourse.
Remember, there’s no “right” way to use sex toys. It’s about what feels good for you as a couple. Communicate throughout the experience, sharing what you enjoy or want to try differently.
Exploring different pathways to pleasure with sex toys is not only a great way to spice up the bedroom, but it’s a form of play for adults that can improve intimacy and strengthen your relationship’s bond.
Don’t Pressure Your Partner
While introducing sex toys can be exciting, it’s important to ensure your partner feels comfortable every step of the way. Avoid pressuring them to try something they’re not ready for or ignoring any of their concerns.
If your partner seems uncomfortable, take a step back and have another conversation to discuss what they’re feeling. They may need more time to warm up to the idea or have an idea for what sort of toy they’d like to start things off with.
Respecting your partner’s boundaries creates a safe environment where both of you can explore at your own pace. Remember, the goal is to enhance your connection, not to push anyone outside their comfort zone.
If your partner seems to stand firm against the idea of sex toys, there are still plenty of toys that can be used solo to improve your masturbation experience. TENGA’s world-renowned male masturbators on TENGA Store Europe are a great way to upgrade your masturbation sessions. In fact, According to TENGA’s 2018 Global Self-Pleasure report, it was found that people who have used sex toys in the UK report being more satisfied with their sex life across all metrics, especially on quality of orgasm overall (84% vs. 66%), and quality of masturbation (83% vs 58%).
Conclusion: Enhance Intimacy And Pleasure With Sex Toys
Incorporating sex toys into your relationship can be an exciting experience, strengthening bonds and opening doors to new forms of pleasure. By communicating openly, exploring options together, starting simply, and respecting each other’s boundaries, you can make the experience enjoyable for both partners.
Remember, introducing sex toys is not about fixing a broken connection—it’s about improving what you have. Whether you’re looking to spice things up or deepen your bond, this journey is a shared adventure that can bring you closer than ever.
Grabbing one of the couples’ toys from TENGA, or incorporating any of the TENGA or iroha products from TENGA Store Europe that look interesting is a great way to improve your relationship.
So, take the leap, explore with curiosity, and most importantly, have fun. Your relationship will thank you for it!
