Femplay never tires of hearing stories like Emily’s. Sure, sex toys are mostly meant to help you feel physically good, but I hear stories all the time about how sex toy stores help people build confidence, or reconnect with a loved one, or rediscover the pleasure of intimacy. Hear what Emily has to say…
Emily’s Story
‘After having two kids in two years, I was physically and emotionally exhausted. I not only had absolutely zero libido or energy for sex, but when my husband and I did try to be intimate, I couldn’t stay focused and never orgasmed. This was hugely frustrating for my husband, and obviously for me as well. It got to a point where over six months had gone by without us having sex.
It was on our anniversary that we first started to really discuss the problem, and I admitted that I wasn’t feeling my best after gaining a few kilos since pregnancy, and my husband admitted he was feeling insecure about his abilities as a lover since he was unable to get me to climax anymore. After exchanging encouraging words to one another, we decided to go one step further and bring in professional help. No, no, not a therapist: a sex toy!
I think I was the one who initially suggested trying it, remembering back to my love of my vibrator in my single days. That very night we ordered a cock ring. We went with that because we could both simultaneously enjoy it during intercourse. It arrived less than a week later, and my husband actually played hooky so we could give it a try while the kids were at school. Calling in sick had us already feeling pretty naughty, and we were both definitely in the mood. What can I say? The cock ring didn’t disappoint! Honestly, I don’t think there was any foreplay—I think my husband put it on straight away and we got down to business. It honestly felt like the first time we ever had sex…all that excitement and built up desire! And I finally had an orgasm.
It’s been ages since then, and thankfully we’ve resumed having sex on a regular basis. We don’t use the cock ring every time anymore, but I am certain that without it we’d never have gotten our groove back. It was just the thing I needed to stay engaged in the moment and actually orgasm, and just generally be reminded about how amazing sex is! I know, it’s unbelievable that I could ever forget, but remember: I had two kids in two years!’
