Having a healthy sex life can bring much joy and enhance not only one's relationship with a partner but improve your mental and physical health if you’re flying solo.
“Introducing toys into your sex life can be very beneficial when it comes to happiness and overall sexual health. It can help with stress relief, improve mental health and is a great way to get to know what makes you and any sexual partners you have become more open and honest with each other,” comments an expert from Bedbible.com.
“By tuning into your astrological sign and pairing it with your perfect sex toy, you allow both you and your partner to get the most out of desires, which you might not even realise they had. It is also a fantastic way to explore yourself through solo playtime and connect with yourself on a more sensual and intimate level.”
Although astrology might not be the first thing you think of when wondering about sexual behaviours, it can play a major part in what makes you tick, so follow this guide below to find out which sex toy would be the best place to start if you want to purchase or expand your toy collection.
Aries – (March 21 - April 19)
As Aries are fire signs, they are definitely not shy in the bedroom. They are full of energy, always up for new adventures and seek spontaneity, which is why they are one of the fiercest zodiac signs. The perfect toy for Aries is a Bit or any type of mouth restraint; these suit an Aries who flourishes through intimate discovery and is happy to go that extra step into the world of sex toys.
Taurus – (April 20 - May 20)
A Taurus is known for loving shared experiences but can sometimes struggle to escape their comfort zone, leading to stubbornness and caution when trying new things. Handcuffs can be a great place to start, as they allow your partner to take control and let you discover the unknown.
Gemini – (May 21 - June 20)
Thrill and excitement are top priorities for a Gemini, as well as being known for their seductiveness; they will thrive with the right toys. Unplanned, spontaneous and exciting sex is what they desire, so if you’re a Gemini wanting to experiment with toys to use with a partner, you should try something that doesn’t take up a lot of room and is easy to carry around should spontaneity take over. A small rabbit vibrator is a perfect choice as they are lightweight, easy to use and can make quite an impact.
Cancer – (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers are emotional, sensitive and sentimental; they love to care for others and are heartfelt lovers, so they are big on partner satisfaction. But it is time for them to focus on themselves, which is why a waterproof massager is a perfect option for relaxation and me-time.
Leo – (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are passionate and reliable, they love to get creative and are great performative sexual partners, but they do tend to like to be the star of the show. As a sign that takes pride in doing everything, a dual stimulator toy is a perfect option for a Leo. By taking care of both clitoral stimulation and penetration, these toys allow a Leo to simultaneously hit all the right spots.
Virgo – (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos love to tease any sexual partners, and as well as being very sensual beings, they love to take their time in providing their partner (or themselves) with the best performance possible and leave their partner wanting more. Toys such as whips, feathers, tickle-based and any toys that add to playful teasing will allow a Virgo to go wild.
Libra – (September 23 - October 22)
Libra are balanced signs that like to stand out from the crowd. Libra energy is contagious, and they tend to uplift those lucky enough to be around them, especially in the bedroom. Libra, tend to be extremely sensual and love to reciprocate any pleasures given to them, which is great for any sexual partners they might have; this goes hand-in-hand with any vibrating toy that can be worn as an accessory which provides easy access for your partner to control, for example, a remote-controlled vibrating necklace or underwear which can be controlled via a phone app.
Scorpio – (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios love drama in the best way possible! They are all about intensity and crave affection, especially in the bedroom. Temperature-play sex toys will stimulate a Scorpio’s erogenous zones and get hearts racing. If you’re a Scorpio, why not try toys made of glass or metal if you prefer it chillier, or if heat is what you want to experiment with, try using a vibrator that heats up just slightly above body temperature.
Sagittarius – (November 22 - December 21)
A Sagittarius loves all things spicy and exciting things regarding sex and masturbation. This fire sign loves to show appreciation and love through action, which is why they are fantastic givers. A brave Sagittarius should try to challenge their dominant personality traits by asking their partner to take on a more leadership role to push them out of their comfort zone. The perfect toy would be one that their partner can control; this could be either remote-controlled vibrating underwear or a remote-controlled dildo.
Capricorn – (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorns are very generous lovers to their partners and themselves. Dominance is one thing they excel at, and positions, where they are in charge, are where they thrive. Capricorns pride themselves on their work ethic, which can sometimes hinder relaxation and downtime, which is why a Magic Bullet is a great option. A Magic Bullet allows for a wide range of vibrations and is entirely controlled by its user, allowing whatever amount of pressure and speed to help climax.
Aquarius – (January 20 – February 18)
An Aquarius is very open-minded and an exceptional lover who is great for anyone lucky enough to be with one. They are masters of technique and aim to please every time they get into the bedroom; this can sometimes be seen as negative as they can and allow their emotions to take over, but this isn’t always a bad thing. By investing their all into their partners, Aquarius signs are the best at experimenting and trying new things. So, if you are an Aquarius wanting to provide some new and exciting toys to a lucky sexual partner, why not try a sex swing to allow full freedom for your partner and allow you both to enter a new world of positions to pleasure you both.
Pisces – (February 19 – March 20)
A Pisces is a highly romantic sign which loves all things sensual. They are great at lovemaking and want to pleasure their partner just as much as themselves. Pisces always wants to put their all into both sex with a partner and solo sex. They are easy-going, and there isn’t much a Pisces would not like to try in the bedroom. Wearable vibrators are a great option, and they provide pleasure for both parties, which is what Pisces loves.
