We get so caught up in using our vibrators for solo play that we often forget to bring our sex toys to the party!

Vibrators are great for masturbating with, but they also have the ability to take sex with a partner from fun to phenomenal.

What's more, if you are someone who can't orgasm from internal stimulation alone (and believe us, you're not the only one!) then incorporating your favourite vibe into your sex life could be a game-changer.

Here are 7 of the best sex positions for adding in your vibrator – there are countless more but those are for you and your vibe to discover first-hand!

Firstly, let me get one thing out of the way – if you’ve come here to learn about ‘femidoms’, you’ve got the wrong article. “Femdom” is a BDSM term used to describe a female dominant or 'top' partner.

Femdoms may enjoy having their submissive partner call them “Mistress”, or they may prefer to refer to themselves as “Dominatrix” or “Domme”. They may not call themselves anything at all – the point is that many women take great pleasure in ruling supreme between the sheets.

If you get a kick out of being the lady in charge, maybe it’s time to embrace your inner Domme. Of course, the best thing about exploring any new kink or fetish is that you don’t have to dive straight in the deep end.

There are plenty of X-rated activities you can partake in that range from the saucy and the sensual to the down-right dirty and dominant.

If your inner Femdom is aching to make her debut, don't deny her a minute longer! Use any of the above 10 tips to embrace your dominant nature and you'll be BDSM-ing with the best of them in no time.

The love you have for each other may be platonic, but that doesn't mean you can't buy your best friend a sex toy!

Not only can something new and buzzy relieve stress, it can also boost your pal's confidence and teach them more about what makes them tick.

So the next time your BFF's birthday rolls around and you're stuck for present ideas, why not browse our amazing array of sex toys and give them the gift of sexual happiness?

Normally when you’re having mind-blowing sex, you don’t want to miss a thing.

The way your lover looks, the feel of their skin against yours, the naughty words they’re whispering into your ear.

So why would you want to try sensory deprivation?

While the term suggests you’re missing out on something, sensory deprivation during sex is actually more like taking part in a trade.

By momentarily sacrificing one of your senses, you could end up having the raunchiest sex of your life.

When I read the words 'sensory deprivation', I immediately think about those tanks of salt water you can pay to float in at spas and shopping centres (I can't help myself).

But this isn't the kind of sensory deprivation we're talking about.

Many of life’s most enjoyable activities require you to work quickly. A game of Boggle, for instance, or eating a 99 in the heat of summer.

Sex is certainly an enjoyable activity; it's up there with board games and ice cream in my books.

But good sex isn’t about sprinting to the finish line. Taking the time to engage in electrifying foreplay is crucial if you want to knock your partner’s socks off.

Here are 5 tried-and-tested foreplay moves that your lucky lady is bound to love.

Picture the scene: the lights are dimmed, the candles are lit - and someone pulls out the silky satin restraints. If you and your partner have decided to make your BDSM debut, then congratulations are in order!

It’s great that you’ve found someone else who is on your wavelength and is up for some sexploration. What could kill the mood slightly, however, is if you tie up your lover and then stand there staring awkwardly, while your lover lies there and just stares right back at you (also awkward).

Before you whip the handcuffs out, the best thing to do is plan your scene together. Planning will help clarify what sort of play turns you both on, what activities are off the cards, and what your safe word will be. But exactly how do you plan sex, and keep it sexy?

Here's 7 things to do with your partner (ranked from mildest to wildest) now that you've got them tied up.

Here at Lovehoney, we talk about foreplay A LOT (and for a good reason too!).

Foreplay gives both your body and mind a chance to become fully aroused. This mounting anticipation means that when it's time for the main event, you'll be champing at the bit!
