Beginner-Friendly Household Items to Spice Things Up
If you’re looking to spice up your sex life without investing in expensive toys or gadgets, plenty of beginner-friendly household items can help. From the bedroom to the kitchen, here are some everyday items that can add extra excitement and pleasure to your intimate moments.
Just remember — keep it clean and safe! Wrap up any dildo-like objects in a condom before use, and clean and sanitize everything before and after use.
Pillow
Pillows are often overlooked when it comes to improving your sex life, but they can be a great addition. Pillows can provide support and comfort during sex, allowing you to stay in different positions for longer. They can also prop up your partner’s body, making certain positions easier and more comfortable. Pillows can even be used as makeshift sex toys, such as a kneeling cushions.
Towels
Towels are great for adding an extra layer of comfort and protection during sex. They can cover the bed, protect your sheets from getting wet, and even provide extra padding when using certain sex toys. Towels can also be used as a sex strap or to mop up any messes during sex.
Hairbrush
Hairbrushes can be used as a makeshift spanking tool. Just make sure to use one with soft bristles and start off slow. Hairbrushes can also be a massage tool, providing a gentle yet stimulating sensation when rubbed over the body, from top to bottom.
Banana
Bananas are surprisingly versatile and fun to incorporate into your sex life. They are a great source of energy and nutrition and can also be used in various ways to spice up your bedroom activities.
One way to use bananas is as a sensual game or sex toy. Slice the banana into pieces and place it along your partner’s body. Start eating from their waist and work your way down their legs, taking time to savor their skin with your tongue. A banana can also be used as an impromptu dildo. Make sure it’s a firm banana and it’s not gone soft. Also, wrap it in a condom before use.
Phallic Vegetables
Carrots, cucumbers, and zucchinis are all great options for those looking for a phallic-shaped vegetable to use as a makeshift dildo.
Make sure the vegetable is firm, not soft, and wrap it in a condom before use. It is also best to give the vegetable a few washes in hot and soapy water before putting inside any bodily orifices.
Pop the vegetable in the freezer for a bit, and allow the coolness of the vegetable to give your partner a unique sensation.
Coconut Oil
Not only is it an all-natural lubricant — yes, it’s been tested and is safe for most people— but it also has many other benefits that make it a great addition to any bedroom.
Coconut oil can also be used for massages, as it has a smooth texture, and its natural scent can help set the mood for an intimate evening. It’s also incredibly moisturizing, so it won’t dry out your skin like other substances.
However, it is not condom safe, according to one study, and may break condoms down. If you’re using latex condoms, stick to water-based lube, and use coconut oil for massage.
Chocolate
Chocolate is tasty and can also be used as an aphrodisiac to increase arousal and pleasure. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which is known to stimulate feel-good hormones. It can also increase serotonin levels in the brain, which helps create feelings of happiness and relaxation.
Incorporating chocolate into your sex life can add a little extra sweetness! Use a few squeezes of liquid chocolate or melt some and use it as body paint, cover your partner’s body with it and lick it off, or make a romantic chocolate fondue for two. Dip pieces of fruit in the melted chocolate and feed each other for an intimate evening.
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of improving your sex life, but it can be a great addition. One way to use peanut butter is as an edible massage oil. Warm up peanut butter in the microwave and cover the areas near your partner’s genitals such as their inner thighs.
Nutella
It’s creamy, sweet, and flavorful, making it the perfect addition to any bedroom activity. Not only can Nutella be used as an edible body paint, but it can also be used to turn your partner into a snack, and we mean in more ways than one!
Put the Nutella on sensitive areas such as your partner’s thighs, lips, neck, or nipples, and slowly allow your tongue to linger over the area, licking and savoring each moment.
Intermediate Level Household Items to Kick Things Up a Notch
If you’re looking for something more adventurous than the beginner-friendly items listed above, plenty of intermediate-level household items can kick things up a notch.
Candles
Candles are great because they create a romantic and sensual atmosphere. Flickering candles can create an intimate setting that will help you and your partner relax and get in the mood. Candles also provide a soft, warm light that can make it easier to focus on each other’s bodies during sex.
In addition to providing a romantic atmosphere, candles can also be used for wax play. Light the candle and let it melt until it’s liquid, then pour a small amount onto your partner’s body.

Ice cubes can be used in a variety of ways, such as running them over your partner’s body or using them to give a cold, tingly sensation during oral.

Especially women might find it incredibly arousing to listen to a good sex novel narrated right before sex.
