We are in our 20s and all our friends use sex toys apart from us. Does that make us boring?

Nope. It makes you pretty normal. Your friends are the unusual ones because most couples don't use sex toys when they have sex together. In its broadest context the term "sex toys" could encompass everything from a blindfold to oral sex popping candy (yes, really) but when people talk about "using" sex toys they mainly mean vibrators, which are primarily used for solo sex. Vibrator use during sex with a partner has grown in recent years but they are still mainly bought by women to use alone.
