In recent years, sex toys have been much more acceptable by the mainstream. But there are still plenty of guys (and some gals) who are leery of bringing them into the bedroom.

But guys, what is holding you back? They make sex so much better!

When you’re willing to give them a try, just to get you started, here are some basic toys you should consider and some ideas on how to use them:

Vibrators

Basically, vibrators have two purposes. One is to place it on top of her clitoris while you are inside of her, causing her to experience a mind-blowing orgasm. The other is to insert the vibrator inside one of her orifices and alternate her penetration between it and you. With so many good vibes on the market, we had a tough time narrowing it down to just one recommendation. However, Pipedream’s Waterproof Slender G has been nick-named the “Squirt Whisperer” because of the powerful orgasm it can induce. Its simple, classic style, powerful motor and bent egg shaped tip are the perfect combo many women swear by, and now it is available in 6 NEON colors.

Also available in pink, orange, yellow, green, and purple.

But you don’t have to stop there, we offer over 300 different vibrators & massagers, which you can learn about here.

Bullets

Each has it's own texture & sensation.

Bullets & vibrating “egg” type massagers are also great for clitoral stimulation. If you haven’t incorporated these types of vibrators into playtime, we suggest starting with one of our three most popular and well-reviewed bullet vibes such as our Le Reve 3-Speed Bullet, the Basix Rubber Works Jelly Egg, or our Waterproof 10Fuction Remote Control Bullet.

Cock Rings

Some men have problems with cock rings, claiming they are too tight, which in turn prevents them from getting off. Cock rings, like underwear, are available in different sizes and materials (stainless steel, leather, neoprene, etc). The purpose of a cock ring is to trap blood flow in the penis causing a harder, longer lasting erection.

We make a lot of different types of cock rings from the luxurious to the on-the-go, vibrating disposable ones you don’t have to worry about hiding later. With so many styles to choose from, we are sure you will be able to find one that is right for you.

One in particular may be just the starter ring for you: Pipedream’s U Got Nutz™ cock ring. Comfortable and effective, its industrial grade silicone construction stands up to anything you can give it while still allowing ease of movement. Plus, its nut-and-bolt look is masculine as heck.

A Good Wedge

Inflatable Position Master PD2173

“Wedges” are placed under a woman and allow for the man to have easier access to her g-spot, making just about any position more pleasurable. Most women will tell you that, for her, it’s all about hitting the right spot.

Use it as a wedge. Use it as a vibrator.

Pipedream has a couple of great “wedge” products. One is the Fetish Fantasy Series® Inflatable Position Master. It’s portable, easy to use and care for. Another one turns your ordinary pillows into wedges: the Fetish Fantasy Series® Pleasure Pillow Case Set™. Fleece-lined and machine washable, clean up is a breeze.

Restraints

From Kink to Light Pink

Kink can be an exciting way to spice up anyone’s sex life. Anything like handcuffs, scarves, blindfolds — even binding tape — can add a little level of kink to your playtime. An assortment of restraints can be found here , but we personally would like to recommend Pipedream’s Fetish Fantasy Series® Bedroom Bondage Kit. Like “kink for beginners”, it includes everything you need to explore the light-BDSM side of your sexuality. Not ready for all of that? Another Pipedream product may be just the thing for you: the Fetish Fantasy Series® Silk Scarf Restraints. They allow you to ease your way into bondage play while still exploring the sexy side of restraints.
