Everyone has a fantasy, curiosity, or taboo turn on they’ve thought about, but not everyone feels confident enough to share it. Talking about your desires with a partner can feel vulnerable, but it can also be one of the most exciting ways to build intimacy and trust.
At Mega Pleasure, we believe that pleasure should never be shameful or hidden. Shame can prevent people from expressing their desires, but open communication helps break down these barriers, allowing couples to share honestly and deepen their connection. Whether you’re exploring a new kink, trying something different in the bedroom using adult sex toys, or simply starting an honest conversation about what you both enjoy, openness can turn nerves into excitement and curiosity into connection.
Why Are Taboos a Turn On?
Have you ever wondered “why are taboos a turn on?” The answer lies in psychology as much as pleasure. When something feels slightly off-limits, it naturally sparks curiosity and adrenaline. The sense of the forbidden can be arousing and often leads to heightened sexual arousal, as individuals experience both physiological and psychological excitement.
But taboo turn ons don’t have to be extreme, they can be as simple as exploring a new texture, sensation, or role. What feels taboo or arousing is different for everyone, and there is no single 'normal' when it comes to turn ons. The key is understanding what feels intriguing and communicating it in a way that feels safe, mutual, and exciting for both partners.
Many couples find that introducing novelty helps keep intimacy alive. Exploring taboo turn ons together can reignite the spark, build confidence, and even strengthen emotional closeness.
How Do You Go About Talking To Your Partner About Sex?
Knowing how to talk about sex to your partner can transform awkwardness into openness. Start by choosing the right time, or the right moment, not mid-encounter, but in a relaxed, private setting where you can both talk without distractions. Choosing the right moment for sex talks can make these conversations more comfortable and help both partners feel at ease.
Use positive language focused on connection rather than criticism. For example, instead of saying, “We never try new things,” you could say, “I love what we already do, and I’d love to explore a few new ideas together.” This approach helps keep the conversation encouraging and exciting rather than uncomfortable. Regular sex talks and open conversations help couples discuss sex more easily, building trust and intimacy over time.
Body language also plays a big role. Gentle touch, humour, and eye contact can make your partner feel secure while easing tension. Practising these communication skills can make sex talk feel more natural over time. Remember, the goal isn’t to demand something, but to invite curiosity and playfulness into your shared experiences.
Talking to Your Partner About Sex and Fantasies
When it comes to talking to your partner about sex, communication is key, but so is empathy. Everyone has a comfort zone, and respecting that is crucial. Listen as much as you speak, and create a space where your partner feels heard and safe.
If you’re introducing something new, such as a fantasy or kink, start slow. Share what excites you about the idea and why. Often, explaining the emotional or sensory side helps your partner understand it’s about shared pleasure, not pressure.
If you’re not sure where to begin, start with smaller ideas, like trying a massage candle, a feather tickler, or soft restraints. Our sensory collection, such as floggers, whips, and ticklers, or tingling lubes, is perfect for beginners who want to explore subtle new sensations together.
How to Talk About Sexual Fantasies with Your Partner
If you’ve ever asked yourself how to talk about sexual fantasies with your partner, remember, honesty and timing make all the difference. Fantasies don’t need to be kept secret; they’re an expression of imagination and desire, not a reflection of what’s missing.
You could start by saying something like, “I had a thought the other day and wanted to share it with you, no pressure, just curiosity.” Keeping the tone light helps remove any fear of judgment and turns the conversation into an opportunity for fun and connection. Talking about sex openly and using the right words for sensations and body parts can make these discussions easier and more comfortable for both partners.
Once you’ve shared your fantasy, ask your partner about theirs. It’s a two-way exchange that can deepen intimacy and trust. Who knows? You might discover a new shared interest that brings even more excitement into your relationship.
If your fantasy involves touch or roleplay, explore them together with body-safe, high-quality options from our couples’ sex toys collection. Whether it’s gentle bondage, sensory play, or experimenting with lingerie, it’s about finding joy in discovery.
Building Confidence to Explore New Pleasures
Exploring new desires doesn’t have to be intimidating. Start with something simple, like a silk blindfold or a sensual massage. Gradually introducing new sensations helps you both build comfort and anticipation. Trying new practices and sexual activities together can help build confidence and strengthen your connection.
For those curious about anal exploration, our anal sex toys range offers options for all experience levels. Always communicate, go slowly, and use plenty of lubricant, comfort is key to confidence. Take time to understand your own and your partner's bodies to ensure a positive experience.
If you’re drawn to the visual side of play, adding lingerie or roleplay outfits can help you and your partner embrace fantasy in a fun and empowering way. Experimenting in bed with different scenarios or props can enhance your sexual experience and bring new excitement to your intimacy. The secret is to stay curious, communicative, and kind. What starts as a shy suggestion can quickly become a shared experience you’ll both love.
How Do I Turn Curiosity into Connection?
Exploring taboo turn ons isn’t about crossing boundaries, it’s about expanding comfort zones together. When handled with care and honesty, trying something new can strengthen trust, build intimacy, and spark excitement in ways you didn’t expect.
Remember, fantasy and reality can coexist beautifully. You don’t have to act on everything you discuss; sometimes, simply sharing ideas can create emotional closeness and a deeper understanding of each other’s desires.
So whether you’re introducing a new toy, exploring a kink, or simply starting the conversation, let communication be your foundation. Every shared laugh, every curious question, and every brave conversation helps build a connection worth celebrating.
