We often associate sex toys with solo masturbation, but adding a special sex toy for couples can make a great addition to having sex with a partner as well. Many couples' sex toys are specifically designed to be used and enjoyed by two or more people, while others have off-label benefits that can be used for both solo and couple’s play.

“Using sex toys in the bedroom can enhance intimacy in several ways. First, just trying something new can make sex more fun, and increasing fun in the bedroom increases intimacy. Second, using a sex toy requires sexual communication—that is, a conversation about using the toy together. This is important because sexual communication enhances both general and sexual intimacy,” says Dr. Laurie Mintz, Ph.D., LELO Sexpert, and Author of Becoming Cliterate & A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex.

But incorporating sex toys and accessories into your bedroom routine with your partner isn’t just about opening up communication either, of course. “We know that both penises and clitorises love vibration, and research shows that women who use vibrators have easier and more frequent orgasms, and certainly, orgasming with a partner is an intimate act,” says Mintz.

In fact, sex toys for couples are one of the biggest trends in the market right now. “Overall, more acceptance of sex toys in general, which I think is related to the earlier stages of the pandemic—a time we know that sales of sex toys skyrocketed. Additionally, I am seeing more acceptance of women not just using toys alone, but with partners,” Dr. Mintz explains. As such, sales for handheld vibes and less bulky toys have recently begun to skyrocket.
