If you and your partner are looking to expand your horizons this Valentine’s Day, may we recommend a couples sex toy? And no need to limit yourself to a couples vibrator (unless that’s exactly what you’re looking for). With social distancing orders in place and most sex toy retailers still shipping worldwide, now’s as good a time as any to upgrade your sex toy collection. Lisa Finn, a sex educator at sex toy mecca Babeland (which, FYI, is still open for online delivery anywhere in the world), tells SELF that there’s a widespread misconception that sex toys are a thing you use before you meet your partner—or when they’re out of town. But sex toys aren’t just for single folks.
“Sex toys allow you and your partner (or partners) to bring an exciting sensation that might not be possible with tongues, fingers, and genitals alone,” she says. “Think of sex toys as the sprinkles you add to an already delicious sundae.” Sounds good!
Read up on our tips for using sex toys with your partner, and while you’re at it, check out these 31 sex-educator-recommended sex toys for couples—including vibrating cock rings, strap-on harnesses, couples vibrators, and more. Whether you’re quarantined together or social distancing apart, you’re sure to find a couples sex toy that’ll spark joy (among other things). Just make sure you’re cleaning your sex toys too!
