Giving a sex toy as a gift is an excellent option when you're looking for something that's thoughtful and something that will get a lot of use. After all, who doesn't want to experience more sexual pleasure? The problem though, is that many people who consider this option aren't sure how to choose a sex toy gift. They might know what they'd like, but it can be difficult to know exactly what the recipient would be into, even if you know them intimately. Following are a few ideas on how to choose a sex toy gift.

You'll first want to narrow down the playing field and decide what type of sex toy you're interested in. If the person you're buying it for doesn't have a lot of experience with sex toys, you'll want to start with a simple and basic toy. A bullet makes an excellent choice for a woman. It's an inexpensive option that is easy to work with and will come with variable speeds. A woman simply puts the small bullet shaped vibrator over her clit and adjusts the speeds as her pleasure increases.

If you're looking into how to choose a sex toy gift for a man who hasn't worked with sex toys in the past, a masturbation sleeve makes a good choice. These sleeves can be made from a variety of materials and are a simple sleeve that simulates a vagina. Remember that most men will use lube with this toy, so adding a tube of lube can make this gift extra special.

For those who are looking into how to choose a sex toy gift for a couple, you'll want to pick something that will bring both partners pleasure. If you're interested in something a little more playful, you might consider a sexy game or a basket filled with edible body paints and massage oils. For those couples who are a little on the wilder side, you might choose something like a remote controlled vibrator. The woman can tuck the vibrator into her panties and hand the remote over to her partner, giving him complete control and the element of surprise.

Books can make an interesting gift as well. There are a ton of titles to choose from. Some of the most popular are massage books that teach each partner how to give each other a sensual massage. Paired with a set of massage oils, this can make a great wedding or anniversary gift. You could also pick out a book that details various sexual positions to give them a little inspiration to mix up their sex lives.

If you're curious about how to choose a sex toy gift for someone that's more experienced with toys, you can get a little crazier. For a woman, you might choose an upgrade on her basic rabbit or bullet, such as a g-spot vibrator or a dildo with more speeds and options than she currently has. More experienced and experimental men will enjoy a cock ring that can help them stay hard longer or a prostrate toy that will massage their prostate and bring their orgasm to the next level.

As you can see, figuring out how to choose a sex toy gift requires you to carefully consider the sex life of the person or couple that you're buying for. If you want to give the gift of sexual pleasure, you might also consider giving a gift card to your favorite sex shop. This allows them to pick out exactly what they want. On the other hand, any gift you pick out is sure to please, as a new toy is always fun.
