Why use sex toys?

Sexy lotions and potions

For most women, the sexual act is enhanced when they feel sexy! Sexy lotions and potions can help with this. Some examples could be: pheromone oil, shimmer powder, perfume, body oil, bubble bath, etc.

Games
Let's face it. Most couples fall into the monotony of the same old sexual routine. It's the nature of the beast. Life is busy. Life is stressful. Life is exhausting. All of these things can make it difficult to have creativity in our sex lives. Games are an excellent way to spark some creativity. In addition sometimes we would like to try a new move but are embarrassed to mention it to our partner. A game can provide us with the avenue to try the new move. (If the card said that I have to spank you, I must.)

Books
How do we learn about sex? I'm not talking about the "birds and the bee's". I'm talking about how to give his a mind-blowing blow job (no pun intended). The proper technique to give hand jobs. How to masturbate to orgasm, etc. We usually learn through trial and error. Books are a great way to broader our education and keep our sex life exciting and fresh.

Lubricants

Lubricants are very important. Every man and woman should own at least one bottle of lube. Lubes are used for a number of reasons and can be used in a variety of situations.

Arousal balms

Arousal balms are creams made to heighten our arousal. They are applied to the genital area. Quite often they have ingredients such as peppermint or menthol. When applied to the clitoris, they create a cooling and/or warming sensation that is very pleasurable!

Foreplay items

Foreplay items consist of anything used to increase your arousal prior to intercourse. A few examples of this items might be: feathers, warming lotion, ice cubes, edible honey powder, body frosting, etc.

Toy cleaners

If you invest money in a sex toy or two, it is important to take good care of your toys so they will last for a long time. Soap can dry out some of the toy materials causing hairline cracks. Bacteria can grow in those cracks leaving you with an infection the next time you use your toy. Soap was not manufactured with the purpose of cleaning sex toys. However, you can purchase gentle and effective cleaners made specifically for sex toys. Using these cleaners will help prolong the life of your toys.

Love swing

A love swing can add a lot of spice and excitment into a couples sex life. Love swings give you the opportunity to have sex in many positions you would not usually be able to manage. The love swing has a spring at the top. This gives the feeling of having weightless sex.

Rabbit Vibrators

Many variabtions of vibrators exist: classic, rabbit and dual action, double penetration, triple action, and clitoral.

Clitoral Vibrators

These vibrators are made specifically to be pressed against the clitoral area to create arousal.

G-Spot Toys

G spot toys are curved so that when inserted (facing the front of the vaginal wall), the will stimulate the g-spot. Some of these toys also have vibrating clitoral attachments for additional pleasure.

Nipple toys

Nipple toys are used to increase the sensitivity of the nipple, thus increasing pleasure. Some nipple toys include vibration.

Dildos: glass, realistic, strap-on

Dildo's are phallic shaped toys made with the intention of vaginal or anal insertion. Dildo's are made with a variety of materials. Some are made to look like a penis. Others are made of glass (that is not easily breakable). Some dildo's come with a harness and are used for lesbian sex play.

Anal toys: beads, balls, stimulators

Both men and women have a lot of nerve endings in our anus. Men also have an additional source of pleasure called the prostate. The prostate is located inside the rectum. Anal toys can be used to stimulate the prostate and increase the intensity of the man's orgasm.

Men: masturbation sleeve, c-rings

Masturbation sleeves are made for when to use when they masturbate. However, some of the sleeves have a tunnel all the way through. These toys offer additional benefits for a man's partner. She may lube him up, slip the toy on and give a blow job without deep throating (beacause the sleeve is covering the base of the penis). In addition, some intercourse positions may be uncomfortable because the man's penis is too long for the women. In this case, the sleeve can be used to enjoy a more shallow intercourse.

Bondage

Blindfolds, tie's and whips can all be used for sensory enhancement. We're not talking dungeons and humiliation. The average person can enjoy the benefits bondage has to offer without living the bondage lifestyle. When a person cannot see, her imagination runs wild, and her other senses (e.g. sense of touch) are heightened. When she can't move, she is forced to relax and enjoy the pleasure she is receiving.

MYTHS!

Vibrators and dildo's are the same thing.

Dildo's are made to be inserted into the vagina and are usually shaped like a penis. They do not have batteries, cords or a vibration feature. Generally they do not have a clitoral attachment.

Vibrators may be shaped like a penis. However, vibrators come in many different shapes: eggs, bullets, phallic, cones, bunnies, etc. Some vibrators are made to be inserted and others are made just for clitoral stimulation.

If I use a vibrator, my partner will think I am unhappy with his performance.

Talk to your partner. A large number of men love to watch their partner's use a sex toy on themselves, or they like to use the toy on their partner. Vibrators add variety. Reassure your partner that using a vibrator is only adding to the sexual repitoire, and does not mean you are unahppy with him.

If I use a vibrator I won't want to have sex with my man.

That is not true. Vibrators are great, but nothing replaces the human touch. Believe me, a vibrator will not make you want to stop have sex with your partner (unless you are unhappy with him to begin with).

Vibrators can make my clitoris less sensitive.

There is absolutely no scientific proof of that. In fact, vibrators help many women to achieve orgasm when they might otherwise be having difficulty getting there.
