Though most of us associate sex toys with solo use, that’s often not the case. In fact, sex toy use appears to have increased over the past decade as the stigma around using toys solo or with a partner has dissipated.
According to an article in Psychology Today, “couples who can explore novel ways of being intimate — including trying out one or more sex toys — tend to fare better in terms of maintaining passion and desire.”
But, if you’ve been bummed by the options out there when online window shopping for fun sexessories, don’t give up on getting lucky. There are actually a lot of toys for beginners that will have you feeling frisky in no time.
