There is a huge range of sex toys to choose from. There are sex toys that are just for men or just for women, and there are also toys that can be used by both men and women. Some sex toys can also be used as sex aids or to help with a marriage.
What's the point of sex toys?
Some sex toys help the man get an erection, make the woman's genitalia more sensitive, or make "normal" sex feel different. Other sex toys, like so-called "orgy bed sheets," create a "setting" for different kinds of sex. They are sometimes used to help people who have trouble getting sexual satisfaction on their own. But most sex toys give men and women a new way to directly stimulate their genitalia to feel sexually satisfied.
When you use sex toys, you can try new things and change up your sexual experience. It can also add a bit of fantasy to a relationship, making it stronger or giving it new life.
People usually expect that a sex toy will directly stimulate the genitalia during pre-play or during sexual activity, or that it will be enough to cause orgasm on its own.
Different kinds of sex toys
b>Sex Toys That Vibrate/b>
Vibrators are probably the most well-known sex toys. As the name suggests, they stimulate the genital area by moving. Most of the time, they are used to stimulate the clitoris, but they can also be used to stimulate any other part of a woman's or man's body.
The easiest ones look like pencils or wands (though normally thicker than a pencil). The Ceramitex vibrator is a good example of this. Often, they have one or two batteries inside that power a small electric motor. The battery pack and controller are sometimes outside of the vibrator and are connected to it by a wire. On the shaft of this motor is a small weight that is out of balance. When this weight turns, it makes the motor and vibrator move in a small circle, which is what makes you feel the vibration.
When the power is turned up on a vibrator with a controller, the speed of the motor and the rate and strength of the vibrations also go up. How exciting you find a sex toy depends on both how strong it is and how fast it moves. It's possible that the best effect is not as strong or as fast as it can be. As your excitement level goes up, the best settings may change. For the best results, it's best to buy a vibrator that you can control.
Different vibrators will have different features, and you may find that you like one combination much more than another. Your preference may even change depending on which part of your body you are stimulating.
More recently, electronic controllers have come out that not only let you control the power and speed of the vibrator in a fixed way, but also let you choose patterns of power pulses and surges. These can work very well.
There are also vibrating sex toys like vibrating penis rings and butterfly stimulators.
Other power-driven sex toys
There are some sex toys that don't use mechanical stimulation in the same way. Most of these are powered by a motor that constantly changes the shape of the sex toy, giving it a spinning motion or a back-and-forth motion. Some of the time, an air pump instead of a motor moves the parts back and forth. The movements have been used to make things like mechanical tongues that lick, vibrators that "penetrate" the vagina, and "blow job" mouth simulators.
On a much larger scale and for a lot more money, there are "sex machines" that have dildos that thrust and vibrate.
Mix-and-match sex toys.
So far, we've talked about sex toys that move, vibrate, and thrust. As you might have guessed, all of these are available in a huge number of different ways.
Many "Rabbit Style" vibrators use vibrations to stimulate the clitoral area and movement and sometimes a thrusting motion to stimulate the vaginal area. The Hitech Crystal Fantasy vibrator is a great example of one of these.
Many sex toys have different surfaces with different textures. For example, a dildo or vibrator might have ridges, soft spikes, or a rippled shape.
Sensation Change is a brand of sex toys.
Some sex toys change the feel of sex instead of making it more exciting by vibrating or moving.
For example, there are different sleeves that can be put over the penis to give each partner a different feeling during penetrative sex.
There are rings that squeeze the base of the penis or tighten the scrotum to help a man get an erection and change how he feels. There are things that can lengthen and thicken a man's penis, which may make his partner feel more during penetration.
There are a lot of different lubricants that can make sex feel very different.
There are water- and oil-proof PVC and Polyurethane bed sheets that can be used for slippery or messy sex.
Why use a sexual toy?
Why do people use sex toys is a good question. Fingers, tongues, penises, clitorises, vaginas, etc. must all be great for sexual pleasure and stimulation.
Well, sex toys can be therapeutic (for example, they can help you get an erection), they can spark your imagination (like being taken by a machine), they can give you new ways to do old things, they can change the stimulating effects of normal sex (like penis sleeves), and some of them can give you experiences you can't get with "normal body parts" (particularly vibrating sex toys and electro-stimulation).
How to Get Started
If you've never used a sex toy before and aren't sure what you might like, start with a simple vibrator. Most likely, you'll enjoy it and start to wonder what other pleasures you could find with more advanced vibrators and other sex toys.
If you then find that you do like sex toys, try a few more to see what you like. Above all, try them out and have fun!
