So you’ve explored your lover’s body and whipped them into a frenzy of sensual anticipation. But sensation play doesn’t stop there. If you want to move on to penetration, why not tease them with the delights of an insertable?

Glass dildos

I love teasing my lady parts with the cold tip of the glass dildo in the beginning, but it’s the coolness on insertion that really gets me. Insert it slowly, so you get to savour every bead going in. Once it’s inside it feels incredibly strong and firm, which I really enjoy. I don’t know what exactly it is about this toy, but it makes me soaking wet. My advice: if your wife or girlfriend hasn’t tried a glass dildo, get her one!

For a totally different feel and a very up-market look, try a glass dildo. Try a little temperature play and chill it in the fridge, or warm in hot water before you begin. This reasonably priced Beaded Sensual Glass Dildo is perfect, and can be used for both anal and vaginal penetration.

Metal Dildos

Metal feels great too, and nothing beats the njoy Fun Wand Stainless Steel Dildo. This sleek, shiny toy is consistently voted one of the top stainless-steel insertables on the market. It has two very distinct ends to choose from, each giving you totally different sensations and fantastic G-spot stimulation. It’s heavy, solid, smooth and deliciously cold, and can be used for either vaginal or anal play. Again, pop it in warm water beforehand or cool it down in the fridge. Oh, and did I mention it looks like a work of art? It’s not cheap, but the many naughty things you can do with it make it worth the investment!

Electro dildos

Electro play is being touted as the next big thing in sex toys, but to the uninitiated it can seem rather daunting. Don’t let that put you off. If you enjoy different sensations and want to experience something that’s totally unlike anything you’ve ever felt before, it could be just the thing. Here’s what one first-time user has to say.

I followed the instructions and put some conductive gel on the probe. Then I pushed it inside me and started playing with the different pulses. Some were great for teasing myself, and as I got closer to coming it felt amazing to go continuous on a higher level. I found myself moaning a lot, and before I knew it I was having the most incredible hands-free orgasm! I can’t begin to imagine how much fun this would be with a partner.

If you want to get started with something simple, the ElectraStim Electro Sex Stimulator Multipack Set is a perfect introduction. You can enjoy a steady current or choose one of seven pulsating patterns. There are 24 levels of intensity and the kit comes with an insertable virginal or anal probe, conductive pads and rubber cock loops.

It took me a while to discover the right place to put the rubber cock loops. For me, it’s behind the balls, and just after the balls, but there are so many places to try. Once you’ve found that sweet spot, it’s a unique experience. The trick is to just relax and let the electricity work its magic. The first time I came this way it was like the most exciting oral sex I had ever had – just incredibly intense.

Alternatively, why not share the fun? With the ElectraStim Dual-Channel Electro Sex Set you can separately control two sets of Electro-play toys, so you and your lover can stimulate each other at the same time. That makes it ideal if you enjoy different levels of stimulation.

SAFETY FIRST! Do not use electro play products if you have a heart condition. Always read the instructions carefully, and only ever use the toys below the waist.
