I was having lunch with my girlfriend the other day when the topic of using a dildo highly inappropriate topic came up. She started to tell me about how her boyfriend had recently bought a dildo to use on himself. When I heard this I was utterly shocked.
For some reason I felt a mix of emotions. On the one hand, I found it rather bizarre and a bit embarrassing. On the other hand I thought that it was kind of sexy. I mean, in a way he seemed to be taking control of his own body and pleasure.
My girlfriend was really open about the topic and was quite laid back about it. She said she thought it was kind of cool that he was willing to experiment with his sexuality. But at the same time, she did question why he was using a dildo on himself when they had an active sex life together.
The conversation got me thinking about why would someone do something like this? Is it out of curiosity, boredom or just for pleasure? I then started to think about how it could possibly affect the relationship if they weren’t completely honest with each other.
I asked my girlfriend if she thought it was weird and she said that it was strange and unexpected but it could also be a fun way to spice things up in the bedroom. We then started to discuss how sex changes when you bring toys into the mix. Is that a good or bad thing?
I started to think about how it would feel if my own partner did something like this. Would I feel jealous or would I just let them explore and ‘go with the flow’? I think the best thing to do would be to be completely open with each other and communicate honestly.
On the other hand, it’s also important to understand that consent works both way; both of you need to be okay with it before going ahead. That way, it’s free from any misunderstanding or mistrust. The relationship should remain healthy and strong, even when dildos are involved.
I think it’s really important to be understanding and respectful of each other’s sexual needs and preferences. Both of you need to feel safe and secure in the relationship and being honest and open with each other is key. I’m all for safe and consensual exploration but it’s important to be aware of it affecting the relationship in a negative way.
I think it’s really important to maintain the trust in a relationship. If the trust is broken it can be difficult to repair. It’s good idea to talk to a sex therapist or counsellor if you feel the relationship is in a complicated situation. They are trained professionals and can give you advice on what to do.
A lot of important topics to discuss come as a result of using a dildo – not just for couples, but for any sexually active individual. It’s best to stay informed and talk about it openly. That way no one will feel ashamed or embarrassed about raising the issue. Remember: communication is key.
Talking about the use of sex toys is a normal and healthy thing. It’s something that needs to be addressed and discussed, especially if it’s going to affect the relationship. It’s important to consider the feelings of all parties involved and make sure everyone’s on the same page before experimenting with something like a dildo.
