Although many people use sex toys during their intimate private time with their partners or even when they are alone, there are many other items that you can use to enhance your sexual pleasure. When you think of buying sex toys the image that comes to mind may be a vibrator, dildo or sex doll, but sex is a sensual experience that encompasses touch, sight, taste, smell and sound. Using any of your five senses as your cue you most likely have items in your home that can be used as miscellaneous sex toys.
For the sense of touch you could use luxurious fabrics such as silk, leather or feathers as a way to stimulate the nerve endings of the body. Using sesame oil with a drop of fragrant rose or lavender essential oil to massage yourself or your partner can be a soothing and relaxing treat that relieves stress and restore mental balance. The skin is the body's largest sensory organ and massage provides several therapeutic benefits for the internal organs.
Music has been said to have the ability to "calm the savage beast." But music can also be highly erotic and sexually stimulate you and your partner to higher passion. When it comes to the sense of taste, we naturally think of food but many couples use food in an intimate way to pleasure their partner. Using honey, chocolate or fruit syrup as body paint you and your lover can play a sensual game of “tic-tac-toe.”
Our vision and hearing are sensitive to lighting and fragrances; a room filled with candlelight in a rose scented atmosphere is one of the quickest ways to melt the heart and inspire romance. You can buy sex toys like these at most mainstream stores. Specialty sex shops offer coordinated sets of some of items specifically designed to engage all five of the senses.
