Sex Tips - Advice on Using Sex Toys and Other Sexual Props

Make a Pass
You’ve likely heard the tip about secretly passing your panties to your lover during a night out together to raise the erotic stakes of an evening. We’ll go you one better. The next time you’re feeling frisky and you’re out with your lover, slip a pocket rocket or small, wireless bullet vibrator into their pocket during the night. Then whisper in their ear and even place their hand on it to let them know what it is. For the rest of the evening you’ll be wondering when they’re going to use it on you and you’ll both have sex on your minds for the rest of your night together.

Petal Power
The next time you want to do something extra special for your lover, present him or her with a bouquet of flowers. But this time, don’t just put the flowers in a vase and forget about them. Make those flowers the key ingredient of your romantic evening together. First, have your lover get undressed and lie down on the bed. You might even have them put on a silky blindfold. Then, when they’re comfortable, use the flowers one by one to explore your lover’s body. Take your time. The first flower might simply be brushed across your lover’s lips and face. The second might tantalize their toes or the backs of their knees. Tease your lover like this for a while, heading towards all of their most sensitive erogenous zones. Then before you consummate your sensual foreplay, take the petals from a couple of flowers and sprinkle then onto your lover’s body. And if you want to create an instant memory of the evening, leave a single flower in a vase next to the bed.

A Handy, Dandy Buzz
This tip is of special benefit for the men out there. The next time you are giving your man a little manual attention -- otherwise known as a hand job -- don’t just use your hand. Add a little vibration to the experience to up their excitement. You could do this in a number of ways. You might choose to apply light vibrations to the sensitive tip of his penis using a bullet or slimline vibrator in one hand while you continue to stroke with the other. You could also tickle his perineum and scrotum with a pocket rocket as you attend to him with your other hand. Whichever technique you choose, never stray from the main rule of a good hand job: use a lot of lube!

Feel the Vibration
You know best what feels good to you, right? Next time you're in an amorous situation with your lover, try introducing a vibrating penis ring into your love play. Not only will you get the added intimate stimulation that most women need to climax, men will feel the good vibrations, as well!

Sexier Safer Sex
Having safer sex may not always seem the most satisfying way to go (albeit the smartest!), but here's a tip to make it a bit more enticing for any man. Before putting on a condom, place a drop or two of lubricant (not too much!) in the condom's tip. The added friction it creates during intercourse will stimulate the sensitive tip of the penis and add to his pleasure.

Clearly Sensual
If you've never experimented with glass or acrylic toys, give them a whirl. Both may be heated (hot water is best) or chilled (cold water or the fridge) for a unique feel; just be sure to test the temperature on your wrist before using a toy on yourself or a lover. Acrylic and glass make great sensual props, as they are nonporous, easy to clean, and a cinch to maintain. They even look elegant! Just remember, they're not unbreakable and should always be used with a water-based lubricant, never silicone. Try something different and experience completely new sensations!

A Little Lift
Want to take fellatio to the next level? Add props to oral sex. For example, try using a slimline vibrator during your next oral adventure by placing it behind your lover's testicles and giving them a little lift. The vibration and position of the vibe will give your lover a whole new sensation while you perform oral sex. You can also use the vibrator in this position to add light pressure to the perineum, which externally stimulates the prostate--a technique that could really send the amorous action to new heights.

Discover Silicone
Silicone isn't just the choice of starlets anymore! This highly versatile material also makes sex toys feel velvety and gives lubricant a super slickness, as well as super staying power in the water. Premium silicone is hypoallergenic and allows you to share toys with your lover--as long as you thoroughly wash the toy before changing users, of course! Nonvibrating toys may be sterilized by boiling or bleaching for the ultimate clean. Keep in mind that you should never use a silicone lubricant with a silicone toy, because it will destroy the toy; always use a water-based lubricant with silicone toys!

Different Strokes
Men: Masturbation sleeves aren't just for solo pursuits. Have a partner get involved in your self-pleasuring! To start off, let your lover use your favorite lubricant to ready the sleeve for your use and slowly slip the sleeve on you. Then guide your lover as to the strokes that create the best sensations by placing your hand over your lover’s hand or murmuring encouragement when a rhythm is working. That way, your lover’s technique is perfected and you receive an amazing orgasm. Don't forget to show your appreciation!

Pearl Play
Whether or not you ever wear them, a string of pearls can make a wonderful accessory when drawn slowly along an erogenous zone. The pearls themselves are silky smooth, yet the bumps create a tantalizing texture that feels wonderful when brushed up against your most sensitive areas.

Share the Pleasure
Even if you have a fabulous sex life, there’s always room for some extra spice. Mix it up with a new sex toy you can share. G-Spot vibes are great for stimulating her G-Spot or his prostate during oral play, creating a truly unique sensation you both will love. Or try the perfect hands-free couple’s toy, a vibrating erection ring that make his erection stronger and last longer while providing clitoral stimulation for her -- a great way to share and intensify the pleasure for both partners during intercourse.

Add Pleasure with Pillows
Pillows aren't only for sleeping on! They can also be a great help in achieving different sexual positions with less strain and increased pleasure. Experiment with your pillows. You can use them for support, cushioning or elevation of certain body parts during intercourse. You can even take this technique to the next level by using a pillow especially designed to enhance sexual positions, like these pillows.

Make Edible Art
Want to really express your erotic side? Paint your lover’s naked body using edibles or even some chocolate syrup. Whether you use a soft brush or your fingers, your partner will love the sensations you create while making your masterpiece. And they’ll love it even more when you devour your delicious creation!

Sexy Special Deliveries
Nowadays you don’t have to go into an adult video store to rent an erotic video or DVD; you can by or even rent them discreetly online. So, if you’ve never watched porn with your lover, this might be the perfect excuse to give it a try. It’s easy to find something you’ll both like when you shop online, because the movies are usually divided into categories -- such as newlyweds, anal sex, group sex, redheads, foot fetish, detectives, wrestling or virtual sex. There are hundreds of categories, so experiment until you find the genre that works best for you.

Be a Smooth Operator
Add a silk or satin scarf to your bedside collection to enhance your love play. Both sensual and versatile, a scarf can be used as a blindfold, tied to gently bind your partner’s hands or manipulated to add new sensations to foreplay. For instance, run the scarf slowly along your partner’s body, grazing their nipples, belly and inner thighs. The cool, slick material will feel amazing on their bare skin.

Tickle Their Fancy
Use a feather to tickle and tease every inch of your lover’s body. A big, fluffy plume works best. Simply run it lightly over your partner’s skin and watch ‘em squirm. By the time you’re done, every inch of their body will be tingling. So simple, yet so erotic!

Erotic Exposure
Smile, your naughty bits are on camera! Make an erotic video or digital photo series staring your sexy, seductive self. Imagine how delighted your partner would be if you were to make a special little show for their eyes only. Send it with them on a trip or give it to them as a preview of things to come. Don’t even say what it is -- just make sure you tell them to watch it alone!

Guess the Toy!

Take out all of your sex toys, lay back, and close your eyes. Then, have your partner use different toys on you one by one, and try to guess which toy he or she is using. Don't have a lot of sex toys? Use one that comes with a variety of attachments like the Naughty Nites Kit.

Beyond the Bed!
Utilize different pieces of furniture to create different lovemaking experiences. Not only does getting out of bed provide instant variety, but there are other advantages as well. For example, a piano bench or weight bench can be straddled easily, one can kneel while the other lies on it. Use your imagination!

Lube it Up First
Try putting a tiny dollop of lubricant inside the tip of the condom. It will increase sensitivity. Just be careful to put the lubricant in the tip only -- otherwise you risk the condom slipping right off during sex -- not a good thing!

More Textures
Here is another way to try playing with textures: Instead of rubbing your partner's body with things like fur and silk, rub through them! What you do is keep the material still against your partner's body, and move your hand over it. If you do it this way, you can create all sorts of unique sensations using even unusual items such as Saran Wrap.
