Sexual toys are devices that can provide your partner more excitement during sexual activities. They are used only for the genital area or on the actual genitals, but some can be used for other body parts. People use them when they are alone with their partners. However, people who use these toys rarely use them every time during sex and they don’t use the same toy several times. The list of sexual toys is really long. They can usually be bought in sex shops or can be ordered over a catalogue.
The most common sexual toys are:
Vibrators – vibrators are electric devices that work on batteries or they can be plugged using a cable. They can be bought in different shapes and sizes. Some have an intensity device, so that the person who uses them could set the desired intensity of the vibration. The more popular ones are personal vibrators. These devices can be attached, tied and placed on the body. The battery powered artificial penis can be found in different colors, shapes and sizes. You can also get an attachment for different body parts. The sexual excitement caused by a vibrator can be great. The vibrator must be carefully used on the body’s tissue. Some people like to use towels on vibrators to reduce the tension on the beginning. You can use lubricants, so that the vibrator feels more comfortable and to provide better stimulation. You mustn’t combine electric vibrators with water. Vibrators that work on batteries can get really warm and even burn out if continuously used in a short period of time.
Dildos – an artificial penis produced out of fine and soft material so that it can adequately replace the real one. There are different shapes, colors and sizes. They are mostly used by women for masturbation. During use, an adequate quantity of lubricant is needed. After use you should wash it thoroughly. Ben Wa Jaja – This device comes from the orient and it consists two metal balls. One ball is placed inside the vagina near the cervix, while the other one is also in the vagina. As the body moves, the balls run into each other and go deeper, providing pleasant vibrations inside the vagina. Women usually use them when they are alone, however, her partner may also be included. Penis rings – A penis ring can be made out of leather, metal or rubber. The penis and the testicles are placed through the ring, without any difficulties, so that the ring can apply pressure on the penis’s main vein. The idea is that the ring holds the blood that would loose the penis. This way, the man would maintain his erection longer, and in theory, he can go longer. The actual size is really important here, so that the penis and testicles don’t get injured. Caution is required so that the ring doesn’t apply strong pressure for a long period of time so it mustn’t be used for a long period. In that way, because the ring holds the blood, injuries may occur around the genitals. Erotic creams, lotions and oils – They can be found in different aromas and smells. They are used for sensual massages, but however, some are used as lubricants for sex. The sensation is in the smell, so lotions and oils applied on the skin can be very exciting and stimulating. The cream’s or the lotion’s taste can be very important to some people who like oral sex or like to kiss on the partner’s entire body. French ticklers – These are devices that are put on the penis to cause tickling stimulation inside the vagina. They are different from condoms because they aren’t rolled and they can by bought in various shapes. Their surface is full of humps. After they are washed thoroughly, they can be used again and again. The important thing is while they are on the penis they don’t have any contraceptive effects. Leather devices – leather or skin has a special erotic effect. They are mostly used in S&M fantasies to present dominance. Some people get excited if they are threatened by someone dressed in leather and if they use other leather accessories (for example, a cane). Leather is also used in tying disciplines (B&D). Masturbators (Artificial vagina) – devices that are soft, usually from latex, mainly produced for adapting to the vagina, in which the man can put his erective penis. If it works on batteries or if it is electric powered it is possible to control the speed to make an equal rhythm, stimulating the man to reach an orgasm and ejaculation simultaneously. Penis enlarger – A toy that is put on top of the penis so that the penis looks bigger and longer. It usually has a string or something similar that stops it from falling of the penis. The use of sexual toys and accessories isn’t approved by everyone. Sexual toys, in general For most people, sexual toys are produced to raise the level of pleasure. Because our society is in conflict with sexual pleasure, it is not surprising that sexual toys are a subject of various myths and controversies. The most often mistakes related to sexual toys are: the idea of using sexual toys is perverted; the need for using sexual toys means that there is something wrong in the relationship; people who normally use sexual toys are addicted to them; homosexuals use the more often than heterosexuals. Not one of these claims is true. A lot of people don’t feel comfortable while using them, they have the feel guilt, that it is something unnatural or that they are a substitute for a partner. Every human being is individual and it means something to everyone, but in the same level. If you use sexual toys too much when you are alone, but in a relationship, it is a sign that you have problems in your relationship on which and that you must work on it. Under these circumstances, the use of sexual toys isn’t healthy and it would only raise the problem. Some couples who use sexual toys will accept this as a normal part of their sexual life, while others would want to experiment without them. However, there are also those who would feel vulnerable and neglected next to them. An insecure individual can think it is a replacement for him/her. The use of sexual toys during sexual activities can influence the partners to know each other better and to share a more intimate experience. But keep in mind that using sexual toys is normal, as normal as not using them. It is your individual right to choose which one would suit you most. Although most sexual toys are sold to raise the excitement during sexual activities, they can also be used for solving some sexual problems. Video cassettes and similar media can help the individual or couple to overcome inexperience. To raise the level of trust in a relationship, psychologists suggest the partners to talk open about this topic. |
