Sex toys can make your sex life better, allowing you to experience different or more intense types of orgasm and helping to close the orgasm-gap. Sex toys are healthy intensifying intimacy and communication between couples, and solo self-exploration and sexual discovery, whatever your gender, sexuality or experience-level. They can help treat Vaginismus or erectile dysfunction.

Yes, as long as they are made from body-safe material, in a body-safe design. Always use sex toys safely with common sense; follow the instructions and use only for their intended purpose (ie. never use a non anal-safe toy, anally). Thorough cleaning and careful storing of sex toys is important, as is being extra careful around sharing sex toys ( always use condoms) is the most important safety advice, as toys can transmit STI's.

How to Give Great Blow Jobs

Giving great blow jobs doesn't require too much in terms of prep: A little bit of know-how on penis anatomy and lots of enthusiasm, and you're ready to get to it.

If you feel unsure about giving blow jobs, our easy-peasy tricks will help you feel more confident while making it fun and pleasurable for you, too.

Our Favourite Blow Job Tricks

Using a blindfold enhances every sensation. Your partner will feel every lick, nibble and kiss much more intensely. This also works in your favour if you're feeling shy about being watched while working your lip magic.
Flavoured lubes makes a yummy treat taste even better! Choose a flavour that makes your saliva glands watering, and drizzle a generous amount over the tip and shaft.
Temperature play is a great blow job trick. Take a sip of a hot drink to get your mouth nice and warm before going down on the penis. Then take a sip of a cold drink and go down again. Alternating hot and cold will keeps their interest up and offer sensual sensations.
Saliva is your friend when it comes to great fellatio, so don't worry about dribbling or making a mess.
Try humming whilst giving a blow job - the "hum" vibrates around the penis, creating exciting new sensations.
Many penis-owners complain that their partners forget about their testicles (the "party bag"). Gentle kissing or light tugging usually goes down well. Try stroking a warming lube over the pleasure package for extra sensuality.
If your partner is game for trying a little light anal play, a fellatio session is a perfect time to explore. Cover your fingers with a latex glove, drizzle some anal lube over your fingers and slowly stroke and explore the area. The anus is rich in nerve endings, so stimulating this area can offer intense pleasure. (Hop on over to our anal advice and prostate advice sections to learn more).
