Known as the quintessential nation of prudes, you may think that us Brits aren’t the target market for sex toys.

Well, it seems you’d be sorely mistaken. Lovehoney has gone so far to create a ‘Sex Map’ of the country, crowning Edinburgh as the sexiest city, Liverpool taking an honourable mention as the double stimulation city thanks to its penchant for rabbit vibrators and Birmingham dubbed the peachiest city owing to its love for realistic butt plugs. And, with shows like Naked Attraction gracing our TV screens, it’s certainly no surprise.

If one thing’s for sure, there’s no shame in investing in a new toy. Alongside a meditative yoga class, a relaxing bath with a face mask or even an energising jog, a positive relationship with sex and masturbation is a great form of self-care.

Perhaps it’s for some quality me-time or maybe you’re looking to spice up your sex life with your partner, a new toy will help you conquer the summit of Mount Orgasm, and explore it too. There to prolong the enjoyment and enhance the experience, your life between-the-sheets will be improved at the flick of a vibrating button - and who wouldn’t want that?

Whether you’re straight or a member of the LGBTQ+ community, there’s something for everyone. From clitoris stimulation to butt plugs, bondage equipment to app-controlled vibrators, the options are far-ranging and ever-growing.

There’s never a bad time to surprise your lucky loved one, or yourself, with new realms of pleasure a sex toy can offer.

Keep scrolling and you’ll be in for a treat.
