Why Buy A Sex Toys?

Pleasure

In a society where sexual pleasure and guilt are associated, it's not surprising that sex toys have gotten a bad rap just for being themselves. It goes without saying that sex toys are best enjoyed with no guilt attached. They require no justification; sex toys are pleasure for pleasure's sake. They offer us a unique opportunity to explore our bodies in new and exciting ways. You'll no doubt discover more about sexual desire and probably discover a few new erogenous zones as well. Sex toys are simply a gateway to pleasure.

Fantasy

For those of us in monogamous relationships, it's often difficult to explore our sexual fantasies. Being faithful is more important than living out your deepest desires. Toys give us the opportunity to indulge our fantasies in a completely safe environment. In this sense, sex toys can be an extremely helpful addition to any loving relationship. It's nearly impossible for one person to satisfy every facet of another's desire. Sex toys can help by providing a new element to your sexual ritual without the complications of the actual realization of your fantasies.

Inspiration

An uninspired performance in the bedroom can be a real strain on your relationship. With the daily stresses of life, sex can often take a back seat to more pressing matters. Whether it's families or careers, our lives are busier than ever and intimacy often feels the squeeze. So why not introduce something a little risqué to the proceedings? Sex toys give couples a chance to explore each other and have a light-hearted laugh along the way. Adult toys are a wonderful way to spice up your sex life.

Sexual Health

Sex toys are good for you! There are some interesting and well-documented health benefits associated with the use of sex toys.

During menopause, most women experience some thinning of the vaginal wall. Studies indicate that the regular use of a dildo can help maintain vaginal tone.

Women who have trouble reaching orgasm can also benefit from the use of sex toys. Many leading experts on the subject recommend the use of a vibrator to help overcome orgasmic difficulty.

Common Myths

Myth #1: My partner wants to use sex toys. I must be sexually inadequate.

Whenever buying (or considering buying) a sex toy, it's a good idea to consider the feelings of your partner. Discussing sex toys with your partner before introducing them into your sex lives is not only respectful, but in many cases quite necessary. Many people assume that sex toys are purchased to fulfill some sort of sexual inadequacy. This is most often not the case. Discuss your reasons for buying a sex toy with your partner; it's usually necessary to prevent any hurt feelings.

Most people buy sex toys because they're an enjoyable way to explore new possibilities. It's fun to explore sexual potential whether alone or with a partner.

Myth #2: I'll get addicted to sex toys and won't be able to reach orgasm without them.

There's a very human propensity to become familiar with a particular form of stimulation. Whether it's cunnilingus from your partner, or vaginal penetration from your dildo, there are some forms of stimulation you count on to get you off. You can become addicted to your vibrator just as easily as you become addicted to a particular practice with your partner. It can happen, but you are not helpless to control and change it. Experiment with new positions, new toys, and new activities. Keep trying new things and you'll never be sexually dependent on any one particular practice.

Myth #3: Using a vibrator will cause damage to my genitals.

There's absolutely no physiological basis for such an argument. Vibrators can occasionally make genitals feel numb during or immediately after use but the sensitivity will always return. Experiment with different forms of stimulation during sex play to decrease any numbing effects.

Guilty Pleasure

“Don't play with yourself!"

It's a phrase that's been heard by far too many impressionable young children. When girls and boys start to discover their bodies it can be a source of much embarrassment for parents. Soon children consider the exploration of their private areas as bad, or even forbidden. And so starts the association between guilt and pleasure.

It does not end here, however. As the insecure adolescent enters high school, he or she is confronted by another social taboo. It is quite clear that it is not okay to talk about masturbation. Thoughts of social acceptance are paramount and it's important not to rock the boat. Self-exploration is a forbidden subject. Myths and rumors abound, leaving the adolescent alone in a world filled with questions and far too few answers.

Furthermore, teenagers are bombarded with moral admonitions against promiscuity and pre-marital sex, not to mention the ever-present fear of STDs and unwanted pregnancies that often go hand-in-hand with such behavior.

What all this leads to is an association between sexual pleasure and guilt. Sexual gratification - an eminently important and essential subject most people have a vested interest in - becomes relegated to the margins of polite society. Sex in all its glorious forms becomes clouded in a haze of misinformation and innuendo. Even a half-century after the publication of Kinsey's groundbreaking studies on human sexuality, North American society remains haunted by a nagging Puritanism.

It's easy to see where sex toys got such a terrible reputation. Up until about 10 years ago, you couldn't even find a book on sex toys. There were talked about in two-page summaries in sex manuals, which is hardly the treatment they deserve. A search at Amazon.com for "sex toys" produces a paltry 9 results. In many ways, sex toys are the final stumbling block on the path to sexual openness. Birth control, homosexuality, masturbation - these are all facets of sexuality that have by and large been brought out into frank and open discourse. Mention a vibrator, however, and you'll still elicit a few embarrassed giggles from those around you.

Sex toys are a completely healthy - dare we say natural? - way to explore sexual pleasure. Because of the society we live in, however, they continue to be a guilty pleasure. This is slowly changing. Mainstream media is starting to admit that sex toys do indeed exist ,and yes, people do use and enjoy them. From Citizen Ruth to Sex And The City, sex toys are slowly gaining acceptance.

So let the guilt slide off your back and:

Go play with yourself!

Why Buy A Vibrator?

Why should we use a vibrator?

A vibrator is the single most powerful form of stimulation you can use to give pleasure to your body. For women, a vibrator can offer direct, unwavering vibrations on the clitoris and surrounding region - a feeling often more enjoyable and sensuous than even a partner's tongue, penis or hand. For a man, a vibrator can stimulate his many erogenous areas, including ones he never knew existed. For couples, a vibrator can be both the perfect fix for a routine sex life or an exciting addition to passionate lovemaking. Vibrators are a safe, healthy and perfectly wonderful sensual product designed for everyone.

How do I decide which one is best?

Buying a vibrator should be a very personalized experience - much like buying shoes, or clothing - and it's important to ensure that your vibrator matches your preferences. Is the vibrator just for you, or will you use it with your partner? Will you use it for vaginal stimulation, or anal, or both? Do you want a vibrator for primarily clitoral stimulation? For men, will you use a vibrator for masturbation? These and other questions have to be answered so that you can buy the vibrator that is best suited to you.

Who will be using it?

If you intend to use it with a partner, it's a good idea to pick out the vibrator together. This will ensure that both of you are comfortable with the purchase. If it is for a man specifically, a sleeve might be the best option, because it wraps around the penis, directing the vibrations over the whole area. An anal vibrator is also an adventurous and extremely exciting buy. A woman has many choices, as many different types of vibrators are designed especially for her. It is her task to determine what type of stimulation she finds most enjoyable. She should choose a vibrator that will best massage the area(s) of the body that she wants to stimulate.

What kind of stimulation are you looking for?

Are you looking for deep penetration or primarily clitoral stimulation? Anal or full body massage? Or do you want to try everything? Battery powered vibrators offer fantastic portability and easy handling with a softer vibration, while electric vibrators give unparalleled power. Some men and women prefer the realism of an actual penis, while others would rather try out pleasingly unique shapes. Imagine first how you would use the vibrator, and then browse the selection to see what works for you.
