How To Start the Conversation

Introducing sex toys into a relationship is all about timing, tone and empathy. Here’s how to approach it:

1.Pick the right moment.

Choose a relaxed, private setting where you can both talk openly without distractions. Timing is everything-don’t bring it up during a heated argument or an already stressful moment.

2. Use open, Positive Language.

Instead of framing it as something your partner “needs” make it about what you can explore together. For example:

“I’ve been thinking about ways we can have even more fun in the bedroom-what do you think about trying a toy together?”

3. Gauge Their Feelings

Be ready for different reactions. Your partner may be curious, hesitant, or even a little nervous. Reassure the, that it’s about mutual enjoyment, not replacing anything already wonderful in your relationship.

Choosing the Right Toy Together

If your partner is open to the idea, make it a collaborative process!

1. Start Small.

Begin with something non-intimidating, like a vibrating ring, or a bullet vibrator, or massage oils. These are perfect for beginners and don’t feel overwhelming.

2. Shop Together

Visit an Ottawa Sex shop or browse online as a couple! This can turn toy shopping into a fun bonding experience. Look for sections dedicated to couples or beginners.

3. Ask for Suggestions

Unsure what to pick? Our Best sellers section is a great place to find trusted, highly rated products. Plus, our friendly support team is always available to help any questions discreetly.

Making the First Experience Comfortable

Trying a sex toy for the first time should feel exciting, not pressured.

  • Set the mood: Create a relaxing environment with soft lightening, music or candles.
  • Take it slow: Start with something simple, like using a massager on each other to get comfortable with the idea.
  • Use Lubricant: Pair the toy with a compatible lube to enhance comfort and sensations. Check out our lubricant collection for body-safe options online or in our sex shop!
  • Communicate: Check in with each other throughout to make sure it’s enjoyable and fun.

Addressing Common Concerns

If your partner seems hesitant, don’t worry-this is normal! Adress common concerns with patience and empathy:

1.Will a toy replace me?

  • Reassure your partner that toys are meant to enhance your intimacy, not replace it. They’re tools for shared pleasure.

2. Feeling Nervous?

  • It’s okay to feel unsure! Start slow with non-intimidating toys to build comfort.

3. Unsure about what to try?

  • Suggest browsing products together at our Sex Shop, Sensual Flix Adult Boutique, where you’ll find detailed descriptions and assistance ready to help out!

When to Take a Step Back

If your partner isn’t ready, respect their boundaries. Let them know the conversation is open and that you’re happy to revisit it in the future. Sometimes, people just need time to warm up to new ideas.
