This is by far the most important thing and if you can't communicate nothing else will work from here on in. You need to break the ice and start talking. None of these other steps will work if you can't freely talk to each other and share without judgement or embarassment.
To break the ice, why not try a game? Have some wine or chocolate together and play one of our spicy boardgames to get the laughs going and start to feel comfortable talking about sex. Read how to talk about sex toys with your partner for expert tips for broaching the subject.
Take some time on your own and explore your body through masturbation. It's important you know exactly what you like so you can indentify what you like so you can share that with your partner. Sometimes you don't know what you like until you try it. Trying it on your own reduces any pressure you might subconsciously put on yourself.
Solo sessions are great for understanding your body at your own pace. Try a few different sex toys to see what works for you. Here are some recommendations, depending if you're a vulva or a penis owner:
Try a clitoral stimulator and a G-spot vibe to see which feels best for you. A clitoral vibe like The Satisfyer Pro 2.0 or Shegasm will give you a good idea about whether you like direct clitoral stimulation.
Try a G-spot vibrator or dildo to see whether you enjoy that kind of stimulation. There's a big difference between clitoral orgasms and g-spot orgasms. Read How To Use A G-Spot Vibrator to find out more.
Try a Cock ring to see if you enjoy the restricted and engorged feeling. You can also try an anal stimulator to see if gental anal penetration is something you like.
If you have a penis you will have a P-spot. The P-spot is an erogenous zone that is located between the bladder and the rectum in men. Like the G-spot in women, the P-spot is jam-packed with nerve endings that men should be taking advantage of! Located approximately half a finger inside the anus (differs between each person, but thereabouts), the p-spot is about the size of a dandelion before you blow it and feels like a flattened plum.
There are many benefits of p-spot stimulation, if you've ever felt a little jealous about the body writhing, sheet ripping, toe curling, wake up the entire flat orgasms of our female counterparts, here's your chance to take one back. P-spot anal toys introduce more intense and new orgasms into a mans sex life that may just take your breath away.
If you've each spent some time alone discovering your bodies now is the time to watch. Watch your partner use toys and enjoy their body. See how they arch their back or curl their toes at certain times? What part of their body are they touching? What are they enjoying. Study and you'll know what they like!
Don't rush into anything you're not comfortable with. You have all the time in the world. If you feel pressured you won't feel comfortable and if you don't feel comfortable you won't enjoy yourself. This is meant to be fun so if you're not having fun, if you're not enjoying the process - stop. Listen to your body, listen to your mind. Give yourself time.
You need lube, lube and more lube. You simply can't have enough lube honestly. A great all purpose lube is Wet Stuff Gold. You can use it with everything. You could also try a longer-lasting lube like Uberlube if you're in water or planning a long session together.
We also sell vegan and organic lube so whatever you need you can find it here., and learn everything you need to know about lubricant.
What really turns you on? Talk about your first fantasy or your most recurring fantasy. It doesn't have to be something you want to do in real life, simply talking about it can be enough. It will give your parter a real insight into what you like and what turns you on. Maybe if your fantasy is to have two men in bed with you, you could look at getting a cockring with a dildo attachment. Maybe if you've always imagined being penetrated you could have your girlfriend peg you.
There are lots of toys that can sub in if you fantasy involves another partner but you don't want to open your relationship. Maybe your fantasy is that your partner can't touch you. Or that you can't touch them? If you feel shy you could wear blindfolds while talking about what turns you on.
Remember, even if you feel shocked by what your partner says, don't react unkindly. This is a vulnerable place to be in sharing what you like. Trust is important. Read how to talk about your sexual fantasies with a partner for expert tips.
Ever thought of trying some light bondage? Or wax play? Maybe you've always wondered about dressing up. Now is a great time to try new things. If you don't like it - no worries! You still learned something about yourself and your body.
