Vibrators, dildos, and cuffs: Ohhh, my. The latest sex toys have you covered, from risqué couples’ action to your coveted personal time.
High Tech
In the Dark Ages, vibrators had three settings: really fast, not so fast, and off. Today’s smarter sex toys allow you to create your own Nirvana with space-age features like customizable sensations that sync to a playlist (try the Remoji Lifeguard Ring Vibe from Babeland, $74.25 - $99.00), AI that learns your favorite vibration patterns, and the latest in “teledildonics.” That’s sexy talk for tech that wirelessly syncs toys so you or your partner can control the action from a continent away via phone or Apple Watch. What a time to be alive.

Low Tech
No matter how much sex toys evolve over time, the classics, like sex itself, never go out of style. Old-school favorites include the Hitachi Magic Wand ($59.99) — the retro plug-in and the newer rechargeable version — and of course the old-fashioned straight-up dildo with no plugs, batteries, bells, or whistles. If you want to add a little magic, try a Chakrub ($114 - 230): a crystal dildo so pretty you could display it on your coffee table and make it the world’s most elegant conversation starter.
Restraints
If you ever wonder what it would be like to get tied up, you’re not alone. We do, too. All the time. (Too far?) First-timers are better off using fail-safe silicone cuffs, like Lovehoney’s Quickie cuffs ($12.99), or nonsticky bondage tape ($5.99). Unless you’re a sailor who knows her way around knots, leave Japanese rope bondage to the experts. But if it’s not your first rodeo, might we suggest the sterling-silver woven bondage ropes by Betony Vernon? Stunning.
Blindfolds
Blindfolds are a bedroom cliché, but let’s be clear — they’re shorthand for spicing up sex lives because they actually do just that. One flimsy strip of fabric is all it takes to instantly attune you to every one of your nerve endings. When you’re stripped of sight, a brush of the fingertips is suddenly a zillion times more exciting. Your options range from repurposing a sleep mask to the more high-end silk-and-tulle number from Coco de Mer ($60) or the carnival-esque metal masks by Luna Veneziana ($46 - 116).
Jewelry
Now that sex toys are starting to look less and less like phalluses, we as a people have evolved to sexcessories: elegant, pretty, simple jewelry that looks great on — and helps you get off. There are Unbound’s gold-plated bangles ($45) that double as handcuffs and a sleek rose-gold pendant from Crave ($69) that’s secretly a vibrator. We’ve also discovered gold-plated chokers that make for suggestive collars (from Bordelle, $60) and delicate body chains to wear in the bedroom (our favorite is a dainty silver chain from Kiki de Montparnasse, which can double as a necklace).
