Taken or single, it’s never too late to reinvent your sex life

Standing in a dark sex shop, I try not to laugh out loud at some of the truly strange contraptions hanging on the wall. My boyfriend, who is inspecting a humongous dildo on the other side of the room, looks equally perplexed. We are here with one mission: To find a sex toy to use together, which is something we’ve never done before.

Our sex life is already pretty good but it’s become a bit routine, so when he suggested visiting an adult store together, I jumped at the idea. Grabbing a leather whip from the wall, I run it over my hand – before whacking it over my wrist. It feels surprisingly gentle.

‘Let’s get this,’ I tell him. Looking over, his eyebrows shoot up but it’s quickly followed by a smile. As we pay for our new leather toy, I feel a little silly but I quickly brush the thought away. Neither of us has used such an item before and the thought of trying it out with him, regardless of whether we love it or loathe it, excites me.

(Spoiler: Although this took place many years ago, I still remember it as very naughty and fun; the leather left a delightful tingling on my bum). Love reading juicy stories like this?

All of this to say, it’s never too late to take a chance and switch up your sex life with something new. As we grow older, most of us inevitably settle into our sex lives. Human beings like routines and quick, easy routes to pleasure, and we also lead busy lives, stressing about work, mortgage payments, the kids – you name it.
