Our correspondents at YourTango talk about the ways couples can enjoy sex toys.

Are you wondering if there is a place for sex toys in a healthy, monogamous relationship? Here are the top five ways sex toys can enhance your sex life.
1. Get to know yourself. A vibrator can give a woman the opportunity to explore her own body with or without her partner. The more she knows about what turns her on, the better the orgasm. Some women are comfortable with self-exploration with a partner watching, while some women prefer to play alone and have a little show-and-tell later.
2. Get to know your partner. Sex toys give you an extra hand when you need it most. Couple a vibrator with oral sex, a wand with an intimate massage, or use a bullet for erogenous zone stimulation. Watch her reaction and see what works best.
3. Prostate exploration. The prostate is often referred to as the male g-spot because of the intense orgasm that stimulation can produce. Specially-designed sex toys are the best ways to explore this new pleasure zone.
4. Partner play. A variety of toys including cock rings, bullets, and vibrators, can be used along with vaginal intercourse. The extra stimulation can intensify the orgasm for both partners, without taking the place of traditional lovemaking. Consider a toy an enhancement, not a replacement.
5. Fantasy fulfillment. Sex toys can also allow you to explore fantasies including bondage, double penetration, and threesomes within the comfort of your own home. Start small and see where the mood takes you. When used with respect to both partners, sex toys can add depth to a healthy sexual relationship.

What about sex toys for men?
Just curious…
Believe it or not, they exist.
They do indeed!
I had a male partner at one point who had a great deal of difficulty with quick ejaculation and we experimented at length with male and female sex toys. I liked it a lot because it was nice that he wasn’t threatened by it and used it as a way to enhance our sex life instead. He was able to participate in various way and I was able to be with him in a way which he was happily satisfied but not feeling like he “failed” because he got off too quick.

It seems that sex today is all about the “fantasy” and less about the actual sex.
