Sneak Peek: What You’re Really Wondering
How do I bring this up without my partner thinking I’m bored with our sex life? Frame it as adding sprinkles to an already delicious ice cream sundae — you’re not fixing anything, you’re making something good even better.
What if my partner thinks toys mean they’re not satisfying me? Reassure them that toys are like any other fun addition to your relationship — massage oil doesn’t mean you don’t like their hands, right?
Should we shop together or should I surprise them? Shopping together builds anticipation and ensures you both get something you’re actually curious about, reducing those “what the hell is this?” moments.
What if we try something and it feels completely awkward? Welcome to being human! Everything feels strange the first time — remember learning to drive? Start slow, laugh about the weird moments, and focus on what feels good.
How do we keep things clean without turning into germaphobic weirdos? Simple routines that become second nature, plus knowing when to use barriers makes sharing worry-free for everyone involved.
