Love, Sex & Toys in India

If you’re a newcomer to sex toys, it can be a little overwhelming and hard to choose your first toy. There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to choosing a sex toy and if it’s your first time exploring them, it can be hard to know which one will work the best for you, or you and your partner. Whether you’re looking for a sex toy to use solo or something to spice things up with you and your partner, there are a few toys that are a great place to start. We’ve found the three best sex toys for beginners based on popularity, customer reviews, and advice from sex experts. Without further adieu here are the three sex toys that every beginner should try!

Personal lubricants can be used during masturbation or partner sex. They are typically used to make penetration more comfortable or to ease pain caused by dryness. There are many myths when it comes to using lubricant during sex, the most common one being that if you need lubricant you are not attracted to your partner. This is simply not true. In fact, in a study conducted by Indiana University, 70% of the over 2000 women surveyed said that lube made sex more pleasurable and enjoyable.  So if you find yourself looking for some lube, there is no reason to feel ashamed, however, there are some things you should know when picking your first bottle of lube. We are going to take a look at the different kinds of lubricants on the market and each of their pros and cons.

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.
