Top 5 sex toys

Toys make our sex lives more exciting, thrilling and mysterious, but choosing the right one can be a matter of fantastic love making or a really awkward experience. Here's our 5 favorite sex toys, ranked in order from 5 to 1.

5

Number 5 is the cock ring. We like the cock ring because it provides pleasure for both the man and the woman. The vibrating ring is shaped in a way that when put around the penis during penetration, the vibration also touches the woman's clitoris. Although it's designed to pleasure both partners, we find it doesn't tend to work as well as you'd hope it would, hence why it's only number 5. Cock rings can be bought from adult stores like Ann Summers and Lovehoney.

Next is the ball gag which we only suggest to use if you feel comfortable with bondage because otherwise it can be quite intimidating. If you're comfortable and this kind of thing turns you on, it can be a fun experience.

3

Number 3 is the blindfold. Using a blindfold adds a real sense of mystery because the blind person can't anticipate what their partner is going to do.

You can buy a blindfold from an adult store or you can just use an eye mask you might already own for sleeping, or a t shirt like in 50 Shades of Grey or anything else that can do the job of hiding the eyes.

2

Getting close to the best now, number 2 is handcuffs. There's a film that's just come out on Netflix called Gerald's Game which could make anyone slightly unsure about using handcuffs, but they really are quite fun.

You can handcuff your partner's wrists together above their head (our personal fave), behind their back or in front of them. Otherwise, you can handcuff wrists and/or ankles to something like a bed post or the leg of a table, bed or wardrobe, etc.

You can get playful handcuffs from a lot of joke shops as well as places like Ann Summers and the online store Lovehoney. Rope is a sufficient substitute for handcuffs as long as you're careful because if it rubs on your skin it could cause rope burn.

1

Of course, number 1 has to be no other but the dildo. It's probably the most commonly owned sex toy. Varying in shape, size, colour and functions, you can use a dildo on your own for masturbation or you can use it to have fun with a partner.

A specific dildo can't really be recommended as there are so many different types so it depends on your preference, for example if you want it to give your clitoris pleasure too, or also whether you like it big and thick, or if you're used to a fairly thin penis and therefore can probably only use a smaller dildo. If you want a slightly basic but realistic dildo, Ann Summers sells a good one called Mr Dick - warning: it's big.

REMINDER: Remember that when using some of these toys, make sure you and your partner have a 'safe word' which is a certain memorable word that when said, the partner must stop what they're doing.
