Love, Sex & Toys in India

We recently interviewed Santhosh - a young professional living the big city life, and currently happily single. About a month ago, he purchased a masturbator and lube from Lovetreats. Santhosh is not, by any means a virgin when it comes to sex toys, in fact, he’s been buying them for almost a decade now.

It’s not just women who want to feel a deeper connection with their sexuality and struggle to overcome taboos about sexual pleasure. In fact, over 30% of female sex toys sold on Lovetreats are purchased by men. So who are these brave guys who put their partners' pleasure first? Here’s the story of our customer Pradeep, who took the plunge and bought one of our best-selling dildos to spice up his relationship with his wife.

A lot of first time customers ask us if sex toys like dildos and vibrators are legal in India, if there is a ban on certain toys and whether it is allowed to buy them. There is a common misconception that sex toys are banned for sale in India which is not true. Sadly, this misconception is even spread amongst many Indian customs officers, which is why we would not recommend to order sex toys from abroad on your own and try to get them shipped to India without the help of a customs agency or a legal advisor. This guide walks you through how to recognise which sex toys are allowed in India and where to buy sex toys in India in a legal manner!

You love your lady, and you want to show her just how much you love her. Well, Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity. By all means, do the usual, romantic dinner at her favourite restaurant. Or spend the night cosy on the couch, watching her beloved romantic comedies. But when that’s all over and she assumes the night is winding down, to be finished with some mediocre sex like with every Valentine’s Day, change things up and surprise her with a naughty gift this year! 

A fleshlight – if you’re new to the concept – is an incredibly advanced, lifelike sex toy for masturbation. It simulates a vaginal, anal or oral opening with shape, texture and coloring that looks – and feels – almost like the real thing. You can buy fleshlights in India mostly online. Designs vary, and different models provide different sensations, whether designed to emulate a specific intimate body part or to test your stamina and control. One thing is certain: Your orgasms will never be the same!

The orgasm gap is a phenomenon that has been around since couples began having sex. Despite its continuity throughout the ages, it has only recently been given a name. That alone says a lot about the sluggish progression of our sexual culture into the 21st century, but that’s a story for another post. 

Here’s the thing—you know those super-hot scenes in TV shows and movies when a woman enters a room with a guy she likes and tackles him rugby-style with desire and passion?  They’re both breathing heavily, chests heaving, and kissing each other as if the world were going to end. Clothes are ripped off without a care to buttons and seams and thrown on the floor without a second thought. The women in those scenes are sexy, passionate and in-charge. They know what they want, and what they want is sex.

We may find ourselves in the 21st century, but sometimes it seems like the conversation around sex got left behind in the Dark Ages. Thankfully there are people like our customer Ela who is slowly but surely helping to pull the dialogue into modern times through self-education and an open mind. Let’s hear a little bit more about her journey with sex toys including her most recent purchase!

If you’re thinking about buying a sex toy to use with your partner, you’re not in the least alone! In fact, couple's vibrators, stimulating cock rings and accessories like handcuffs actually account for around 20% of our orders here at Lovetreats in India.

There's a first time for everything - and buying your very first sex toy can be an especially memorable experience, as many of our customers have told us. We have asked our customer Jess to tell us all about her first time buying a vibrator in India. This is her story.

If choosing your first sex toy seems a little overwhelming, you’re not alone. Whether you’re from a culture where female pleasure and erotic toys are talked openly about or not, there’s a lot to consider before making your choice. The payoff, however, is totally worth it! Here’s a fun fact: 80% of our Indian customers here at Lovetreats are buying a sex toy for the first time when they come across our website. We asked them how they went about deciding which sex toy to start with and here’s what our newbies say are the most important things to consider when buying your first toy.

  When it comes to first-time sex toy users, taking the first step can seem anxiety-provoking, especially in India where it’s uncommon for women or couples to openly talk about intimacy and erotic toys. But for many of our customers, making the choice to buy their first vibrator ends up changing their entire outlook on female pleasure - it can truly be a life-changing experience. Take our customer Anita, for example, who bought her first sex toy from Lovetreats in 2019.

Keeping your toys clean and properly stored is not only important for durable usage and maintenance, but also essential for our health. While there's nothing "dirty" about genitals, bacteria can build up on your toys and spread, so it's important to clean them correctly.

Real Information for the Uninitiated For those of you in India just discovering you have a kinky side, it is our belief that having access to the right kind of information is vital.

Whether you seek a 24/7 Total Power Exchange relationship or you just want to add a little kink in the bedroom, we hope this guide to BDSM in India helps you discover where to go, and what you need to know to feel comfortable and safe while exploring.

These are our favourite sexy Indian TV commercials! Who doesn't love Indian TV ads? Weird, funny, emotional or downright awkward - Indian brands never fail to surprise us with unusual advertisement clips. Heartwarming love stories and family dramas as common in Indian TV commercials as Bollywood dance moves and colourful outfits. And because - as we all know - sex sells, even some of the most prudish Indian brands have experimented with provocative sexual content to get us excited about their products. We have compiled a list of our favourite sexy Indian ads (although, to be honest, some of them are more funny than sexy).
