Sex Tips For Fall

It's Probably Different Than What You're Thinking(01 of12)

Gone are the days when sex stores sat at the edge of town and had big XXX signs out front. “There are lots of amazing stores that try to make the process of buying sex toys less intimidating and more fun,” says sex therapist Vanessa Marin. "Places like Good Vibrations, Toys in Babeland, and Smitten Kitten are all clean, well-lit, and staffed by incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and sex-positive employees.” (credit:Hemera Technologies via Getty Images)

You Are Unlikely To Freak Anybody Out(02 of12)

Do not feel self-conscious going inside the shop — everyone else is there for the same reasons you are! And remember, the shop’s employees likely work where they do on purpose. That means they’re sex positive, they know the products, and it’s going to be hard to ask them a question that will surprise them. (credit:PhotoAlto/Milena Boniek via Getty Images)

Canada Has A Great Selection of Sex Shops(03 of12)

In Toronto, check out Good For Her . In Montreal, pop by Boutiques Erotika. Eastern Canadians can hit Our Pleasure in St. John’s or Venus Envy in Halifax. Out west you’ve got great options like The Traveling Tickle Trunk in Edmonton and Love Nest [http://lovenestonline.com] in Winnipeg. Calgary has A Little More Interesting, and in Vancouver, check out Honey Gifts. Other national highlights are Wicked Wanda’s in Ottawa, Northbound Leather in Toronto, and Priape in Montreal.

Do Your Research (04 of12)

Not sure what you’d like to pick up when you get to the store? That’s what Google is for! "Review sites can be wonderful for getting multiple perspectives on a toy before making an investment,” Marin says. "I think it's great to read a couple of different reviews, since everyone likes different things when it comes to their toys.” She personally likes the funny and straightforward (and NSFW) reviews from Oh Joy Sex Toy and A Roll in the Hay.

What The Experts Recommend(05 of12)

If you have no idea where to start, check out a few of Marin’s favourite products and lines. She recommends Minna Life's The Limon vibrator, njoy anal plugs, and Pjur lubricants as starting points.

Safety First(06 of12)

Research isn’t just important in order to get your money’s worth — it’s also a matter of consumer safety. "Most people don't know that there's not a lot of regulation in the sex toy industry, so many of the toys out on the market are not actually safe to use in and on your body,” Marin says. For example, many jelly toys have phthalates, which are suspected hormone disruptors. (credit:shutterstock)

Avoid Novelty Toys(07 of12)

Unsure how to suss out if something’s safe? "A very easy rule of thumb is to avoid toys that say 'for novelty use only,’” Marin says. "That’s a sign that the toy is not safe to put in your body.” It’s one thing if it’s a gag gift, or a product like sexy dice, but another entirely if it’s something you’ll be putting near your genitals. Look for materials like glass, stainless steel, and medical-grade silicone to indicate a higher-quality product, she says. (credit:Anastasiya Maksymenko via Getty Images)

Know That You Can Just Browse(08 of12)

Ease any nerves by deciding that you won’t buy anything on your first visit. "If you're feeling nervous about the experience, decide beforehand that you'll just browse” Marin suggests. "Take the pressure off of yourselves to describe what you're looking for or to make a purchase.” After all, she points out, you can always head back later that day if you change your mind.

Use Testers(09 of12)

That is, pick them up, press buttons, smell them, etc. Test models are out on the floor for a reason, and it’s okay to investigate more closely. See if a product feels comfortable in your hand, appears well made, appeals to you visually, or just seems fun. (credit:Lou Jones via Getty Images)

Online Is Also An Option (10 of12)

If you don’t have a good adult-toy shop nearby, or just can’t get up the nerve to walk in the door, there’s always the option of purchasing online. Many of the stores already mentioned have e-commerce options. Marin herself recommends Filthy Dirty. "It's a woman-owned retailer that only stocks high-quality, body-safe toys, and places an emphasis on educating their customers,” she says. Marin is the store’s current guest curator; you can see her picks on the site. (credit:Stuart Jenner via Getty Images)

If It Seems Too Good To Be True... (11 of12)

It probably is, at least when it comes to price. Marin warns that some online mass retailers sell counterfeit sexual products that aren’t necessarily good quality or safe. "If the price is significantly cheaper than it is on other websites, it's probably too good to be true,” she says. (credit:Anthony Lee via Getty Images)

If All Else Fails, Buy Lube(12 of12)

Marin says she loves recommending lubricants to couples. And the right lubricant can truly be a sexual game-changer. Best of all, you can pick one up for less than $20. It’s hard to go wrong there! (credit:shutterstock)
