The secret that lowkey saved our relationship

Okay, storytime.

My partner and I have been together for a while. Nothing dramatic happened, no cheating, no huge arguments, but just the sex life kinda got bored. It wasn't anyone's fault. Life just started feeling heavier, and our sex life became this quiet routine. Same rhythm. Same roles, (we're lesbians btw).

We'd talk about it sometimes, but the conversation always ended with: "we should try something new." Then we wouldn't. Until one night, after a few drinks and way too much scrolling, we ended up on one of those fantasy toy sites. You know the ones dragons, tentacles, cursed relic vibes.

I joked about buying the weirdest one on the page. My partner said, "do it." So I did.

Fast forward a few days it arrives. We open the box like archaeologists unearthing something forbidden. It's ridiculous. Beautiful. A little terrifying. But something about it made us both laugh, then blush, then curious.

We didn't even use it the first night. Just passed it back and forth like a magical object. But when we finally tried it?

It was fun. Not just hot. Not just kinky. It was exploratory, collaborative, playful. No pressure to be sexy. Just pure, open-ended discovery.

And that unlocked something for us.

Now we take turns choosing toys. Sometimes we use them solo while the other watches. Sometimes we use them on each other. We've even named a few (yes I know how that sounds, and no I'm not sorry).

We stopped thinking about roles "giver," "receiver" and started thinking about curiosity. And that honestly changed everything. The spark came back. We flirt more. We laugh more. We touch more.

So yeah. Not therapy. Not tantra. Fantasy toys. Specifically: the weird-looking, vaguely cursed ones.

10/10 would recommend."
