Q “My girlfriend and I want to introduce some toys into our sex play. Where should we start?”
ANSWER
“Sex toys have advanced so radically when it comes to technology and design that just about all intimate products can be used on all people regardless of gender, body type or sexual preference. There are, however, product categories that have been designed specifically for women who want to make love to women. For a more gentle introduction, try a bullet vibrator – using it across her clitoris, labia and nipples. These vibes have pinpoint precision and are perfect for creating arousal, sexual tension and intense orgasms. Combine this with a little sensory play in the form of feather ticklers, blindfolds and massage oil.
For those looking for toys a little more purposeful, Désir stocks a wide range of strap-on vibrators and dildos. These are toys designed to fit into a harness that allows you to thrust into your partner, giving her penetrative stimulation. Using a vibrator allows you to switch from penetration to clitoral stimulation – a must for dual-pleasure and explosive orgasms and best used with your favourite water-based lubricant for added comfort.” – Désir.co.za experts
