Has the honeymoon period faded to a robotic step-by-step? Have you checked off each fantasy of that naughty to-do list you whispered in each other's ear three months in? Is your sex life more rusty than raunchy?

Hi, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we'll walk you through the unchartered territory of sex toys for couples to dial up the heat, double your climaxes and revitalize your relationship between the sheets (Or out of them, whose fantasies really include sheets anyway?).

Are Sex Toys Right For Us?

Are sex toys truly the answer to the inevitable humdrum of committed monogamy?

No, they're not only the answer to a dry spell in a long-term relationship but also the chilli pepper to already spicey sexscapdes. In fact, if you ask us here at LetsTalkSex, sex toys are always the answer.

Persuading Trump to take stronger action on climate change? There's a sex toy we'll recommend (Actually two: ball gag + restraints), still, let's run through a checklist anyway to discern if sex toys are right for you:

Have you run through every reasonable (that one where you're somehow balancing on your head propped against a wall is unreasonable) sex position one through to one hundred and twenty-one and find yourself feeling more, rather than less, uninspired?

Is the Big O a distant memory on the horizon of your sexual past?

Do you have the opposite problem? Do you climax faster than a teenage boy presented with, eh, well anything really.

Do you want more from your sex life? Do you miss the heart flutters and head rush?

Take Control Of Your (And Your Partner's) Climax

75 per cent of women will never reach climax from a good thrusting by itself, and only 18 per cent will ever experience vaginal orgasm. 18 per cent! If you're a man don't you want to be the hero who has her a trembling, flushed mess with the climaxes she was told were unlikely to happen for her? Sex toys, designed with a full-proof understanding of female pleasure points, can kick these figures into the dark ages of pre-rabbit.

For men, sex toys are a way to arm yourself into a better lover, they can help you train your stamina, train your erection to stay hard post-climax, to explore your body, to delay orgasm, to have multiple orgasms and to have joint orgasms. They can turn fantasy into reality, allowing you to explore your desires as well as your body.

BDSM accessory for couples

Dominant, Submissive, Sadomasochist, Switch, or Fifty Shades of Curious, BDSM is the stage where sex's subtle power dynamics, a bite to the earlobe, a forceful pull down to the bedspread, freefalls into fantasy. And for every stage, there are props. Bondage, sensory deprivation, flagellation, rope, hooks, and tape.

Dipping your toe into the dungeon whether you be ready to reign power or relinquish it can feel, intoxicating, and terrifying. You’re not sure where to start, what your options are and you can’t take a risk on safety. Buckle up, 'cause this next list is a goodie store a long way from Kansas.

Clamps

Nipple and clit, rediscover your body beyond what's between your thighs, and unlock the pleasure-pain threshold by focusing tension on erogenous zones with clamps.

Clit clamps

[Entice Rose Gold Crystal Clitoral Pleasure Clip, $16.99]

Applying a tight pressure to your clitoris increases blood flow, awareness and will be sure to pull a short gasp from your lady. Clit clamps may seem a little extreme but don't let images of dungeons and St Andrew's crosses deter you – the more you practice, the more pleasure these little power plays can conjure in the bedroom!

Clamps may come with handles or without, vary in size, some have adjustable screws to play with tension and many have silicone sleeves covering the clamps both for comfort and safety.

Ideal for male domination play, clit clamps are gentler than you'd think and tailored to enhance female sexual pleasure not inhibit it. If you're a beginner start off slow, experimenting with how long you wear them, from a few seconds up to a few minutes.

Bondage collars

Whether it be to escape into a master-slave fantasy roleplay or to display your sub/Dom relationship "living the lifestyle," bondage collars are the ultimate accessory to reinforce who's whose.

Some are made with a super-soft velvety lining, others spikes, clit, and nipple clamps or aluminium, bondage collars can be as comfortable (or uncomfortable) as your Dom desires his mark of ownership to be on you.

Bondage kits

Perfect for bondage beginners who've yet to allocate a full-blown red room, Bondage Starter Kits are filled with expertly chosen and inviting toys of satin, leather, and feather to help guide you on where to start experimenting with kinky play.

Beginner kits will normally include some form of cuff, handcuff, tape or tie, blindfold and flogger, spanker, or tickler. Blindfolds, ticklers, and handcuffs fall on the gentler, vanilla tipped end of the darkening spectrum, and are nice entry play pieces for unsure footed newbies.

In the deeper circles of hell (heaven runs parallel) are cock and ball torture toys, electro-medical toys, swings, and the vicious cat-o-nine-tails dating back to the Egyptians (let's all take a moment to wonder on Cleopatra and Ceaser's sex life, you know what they say about men in power?). For now, we'll stick to the basics.

Handcuffs and Restraints

[Lovehoney Oh! Silky Bondage Restraints, $9.99]

One of you is helplessness, vulnerable to your God(dess) in command holding total authority over your body and sexual pleasure. It's the fantasy, and with the right restraint under your belt, or the belt itself, it can very easily turn reality.

Limiting your partner’s ability to move is the ultimate take charge of power over them. Handcuffs, satin ties, and fluff lined cuffs are perfect for leaving them vulnerable to your sexual mercy. Wrist cuffs and satin are generally gentler on your loved one, with buckle-fastened cuffs connecting wrists to ankles, rope, and aluminium spreader bars for more seasoned masters slash mistresses.

Mouth gags

[Fetish Fantasy Breathable Ball Gag Training System (3 Balls), $29.99]

Mouth gags come in a range of styles including ball gags, bit gags, and open-mouthed gags, all to tear a muffled moan from your loved one with a dash of spiciness. To some, they look terrifying but all gags purchased from reputable sex stores are made from non-toxic material, and used sensibly are completely safe.

Ball gags have a ball as their base; if you're curious but a little nervous look for a ball gag with breathable balls that are more suited for beginners. Open-mouth gags enable you to have oral sex with the gag on. The best way to machete through the options on offer is to discuss limits and preferences with your partner, judge their response to each type of gag, and go from there.

Blindfolds

Stripping your lover of sight can make them more aware of what you're doing to them, heighten anticipation, the sensations you're provoking, and can also improve the confidence of both the submissive and the dominant.

Silk, satin, or leather, blindfolds allow you to take control over what your partner feels and bring some intrigue into play.

Spankers, Floggers & Ticklers

[Doc Johnson Silicone Flogger Whip with Dildo Handle, $49.99]

Spank, slap and tickle, from paddles to whips, to crops and finally to floggers, a little light punishment and rough play can spice up any bedroom.

Floggers may be made from leather, faux leather, or rubber, for lashings of pleasure. Spankers will normally be a padded wooden panel covered in leather or faux leather for a tingling, thrilling thwack, and ticklers are regularly a long stick with a handful of ultra-soft feathers at its tip to awaken nerve endings.

Lubricants

Without, but most especially with sex toys lubricants are vital to making certain sex is smooth and safe from any discomfort or injury.

Water-based lubes - Normally smell and taste-free, these suit most bedtime activities and are best for use with silicone toys. Never use oil-based lubricants with silicone.

Anal lubes - Invest in an anal lubricant for anal play. The skin of the anus is delicate and will damage. Anal lubricants are thicker and built to provide protection.

Flavoured lubes - Take oral that step further and explore the candy store of flavours available including strawberry, pina colada, and chocolate.

Warming lubricants - these little gems add some heat and increase blood flow and therefore sensitivity to wherever they're applied, nudging your partner a step further towards climax instantly.

These sex toys for couples will take your intimacy to the unexplored realms of fantasy, role play, power play, heightened climaxes, and lengthier sex sessions. Adding a little variety and taking a risk can reinvigorate your sex life and your love for your partner allowing you both to rediscover each other in, and in turn outside of, the bedroom.
