What happens when you want to explore bedroom toys but your partner feels threatened? In this candid episode of Ask Nyomi: Bridging the Gap, hosts Nyomi Banks and Dog Pound Mike Mike read Tracy's letter about long-distance intimacy, male insecurity, and how to have THE conversation about introducing toys into your relationship.
Tracy's Dilemma: She and her husband travel constantly for work. She bought an app-controlled couples vibrator (We-Vibe Sync 2) to stay intimate across the miles. His response? "If I'm not enough for you, just say that." Sound familiar?
