I make sure to introduce toys early on into a relationship. Basically, if a potential partner isn’t okay with toys then I’m not going to be okay with him. I don’t need toys to have an orgasm, but they can be awfully nice to have around. The orgasms are more intense, the process is more efficient, and when my boyfriend is all tapped out, he can still get me off.
I think the trick to buying your partner a sex toy is making a true present out of it. Definitely go for something in classy packaging — many toy companies now package their toys almost like jewelry. If she already has a couple of toys, get her something nicer than she would buy for herself, like something from JimmyJane or Lelo. If she’s new to sex toys, try one of the quirky vibes from Fun Factory (they really put the “toy” in “sex toy”). Until you know her tastes and preferences, it would be wise to steer clear of realistic — I think many of the beautifully designed non-realistic toys are less intimidating.

As a guy, I have to wholeheartedly agree!!
Toys are great! Anything that helps get her to orgasm, or orgasm more, or more powerfully, I would be happy to have around.
Toys shouldn’t be something that intimidates a guy. It’s just a tool that can be used to get the job done, done right, and to a higher standard.
