Listen Later

In this episode of Real Talk with The Vagina Docs, Dr. Jocelyn and Dr. Jordan sit down with Leigh Piper and Myria Kniffen, Owners & Co-Founders of Iris Proper to talk about navigating the introduction of sex toys in relationships. This candid conversation covers the role of open communication, overcoming shame, and how to approach the topic of toys with a partner in a respectful and fun way.

Key Takeaways:

  • Communication is key: Discuss introducing sex toys in a neutral setting outside the bedroom to avoid pressure or judgment.
  • Toys can enhance intimacy: The goal is to use toys to deepen connection and increase fun, not to fix or replace anything in the relationship.
  • Break the taboo: Toys are often surrounded by societal shame, but they can offer new sensory inputs that improve the sexual experience and help individuals feel more embodied.
  • Know your partner: Be mindful of your partner's comfort level and start the conversation with curiosity and openness.
  • Practice and evolve: Just like other skills, intimacy and the use of toys is a journey that evolves over time.

    • Leigh and Myria provide insights into how their shop offers a non-intimidating entry point for those new to sex toys. They emphasize creating a comfortable space for women to explore and find the right products for their intimate experiences.
