Using a vibrator alone is fun, but using one with a partner is twice as nice. Sex toys can add zest to any sexual relationship, brand new or tried and true. After you talk with your partner to make sure he or she is open to trying something new, try a few expert techniques.

Remote-Controlled Vibrators

Have her slip on a pair of remote-controlled vibrating panties and give the remote to you for the night. When she least expects it, flip the switch and watch her squirm. Be warned, though, that some of these toys can be louder than you expect, so test the volume before turning her on in a quiet restaurant.

Clitoral Teasers

Vibrating clitoral teasers can bring pleasure to more than just one magic spot. Before going for the gold, use a clit teaser to work your partner into a frenzy of sexual excitement. A light touch is all you need at the beginning. Gently stroke your partner's erogenous zones, working up to hot spots like your partner's nipples or anus. For even more excitement, blindfold your partner and/or use restraints, leaving your partner completely at your sexual mercy.

Traditional Vibrators

Even traditional vibrators can titillate in new ways when used in partner sex. Try teasing her clit between gentle thrusts or using the tip of the vibrator to trace all her erogenous zones. He is sure to enjoy the sensation of a vibrator encircling his nipples or teasing the sensitive nerves surrounding his anus.

Rabbit Vibrators

Rabbit vibrators are a popular choice for partners. Designed to push all her buttons at once, the rotating shaft, clitoral teaser and multi-speed controls are a lot for one person to manage at one time. With your help, your partner can focus on her pleasure while you work the controls. Be sure to mix it up a little, interchanging the vibrators different features until she's panting, and then bring her home by flipping all the switches at once.

Waterproof Vibrators

Waterproof vibrators are perfect for partner play, especially when your lover likes to lather up before sex. Surprise your partner in the shower with a waterproof vibe, and watch before become after. Use only toys that were intended for use in water, and don't forget that most lubricants wash right off in the shower, so always use Water Based Lubricants.

Anal Toys

Using vibrating anal toys with a partner requires trust, a gentle hand and lots of anal lubricant. Once you and your lover have established what feels good and what doesn't, the game becomes about power and control, which many people find exciting and highly sexual. Always use toys that were designed for anal use; the handle of the toy should be bigger than the tip.

Practice Safe Sex!

Not all toys are safe to share, especially jelly toys, which are porous and can transmit bacteria. Follow a few general safety tips when sharing toys:

• Don't interchange vaginal and anal toys unless you clean them thoroughly AND use a condom.



• Don't switch toys during love play unless you use a condom.



• Always clean toys after each use.

And remember: toys are more fun when you use lots of lube!
