You want to spice up your pleasure in the bedroom. But how do you tell him without letting him feel that he has done something wrong or you are bored with him.
Do your research first. Tell him about what you saw out there, and that it can be pleasurable and spicy trying something new. And don’t forget to tell him, you want to try it with him. Go and explore together to see what you might like and what you are not into.
Talk about it. Tackle the discussion with your partner from the angle that it’s for both of you—because it is. “To introduce the topic, you can say that you read an interesting article about vibrators and the author made some great points,” says clinical psychologist and sex therapist, Marianne Brandon, Ph.D. “Include the fact that sex toys can help couples ‘spice things up’ and break out of monotonous routines that are nearly inevitable after couples have been together for a while.”
Explain that it’s for both of you. Although sex toys like vibrators are often thought of being just for women, the truth is men can enjoy them, too.

According to data released last year, sex toys are a $15 billion industry, making them more mainstream than ever. While that may be the case, it's natural to feel a bit daunted by the idea of using a sex toy with your partner—even with toys that have been specifically designed and created for couples to use together.
But the fact is, sex toys can add to both pleasure and intimacy with your partner when you enjoy them together.
