Have You Got Vibrator Gifting Anxiety?

Do you love the idea of gifting pleasure but when you get to the checkout your palms go sweaty and your gut screams "ABANDON CART"?

You're not alone. In a recent Instagram Poll, 43% of That's The Spot followers who took part in the survey, named not knowing how the gift would be received as the reason they haven't committed to sending a vibrating present. On top of this another 14% said the general stigma around sex toys was holding them back.

Sending a vibrator as casually as you may have traditionally gifted flowers or food is a new concept. It's so new, That's The Spot is the first and only dedicated gifting space for sex toys. As with anything new, a cautious approach and a bit of uncertainty is natural and normal.

If you're feeling a little on the anxious side about your cart, keep reading as we have some top resources, reviews and advice for making gifting pleasure a comfortable, confident and enjoyable experience. 

Resource: A Guide To Initiating Conversations About Pleasure by Niamh Mannion

Niamh breaks down key talking points for pleasure gifting in her article which can be read in full here.

Some key tips from the piece on conversations around pleasure might assist in your gifting journey:

1. Start by checking in. Consent is key and exploring topics around sexuality can be tricky for some people.
2. Starting by expressing your own thoughts and feelings. This opens the door for your conversation partner to jump in with theirs if they feel comfortable.
3. Offer open-ended questions that allow the other person to share their perspective. Get curious with your questions and make space to hear the answers.
4. Share resources. The power of shared experiences are unmatched, you may wish to share your favourite websites, visit adult stores and connect with social media platforms to find the mode of pleasure that feels right for you.
