The variety of adult toys is surprising. Sex toys change from purely male or purely female adult toys to toys which you can use by both sexes. There are also some sex toys that may also be classified as sex aids or marital aids.

The Purpose Of Sex Toys

Some sex toys aid the man’s erection, stimulate the female genitals to are more sensitive or give a different feel to ‘normal’ sex. Other adult toys provide an ‘environment’ for variations in sex, for instance so called orgy bed linens. Sometimes they are used to help somebody who has difficulty with unaided sex to attain sexual satisfaction. However most adult toys provide a new way to directly stimulate the male or female genitals to attain sexual satisfaction.

Using sex toys can offer new experiences and variation in the sexual experience. It can also give a fantasy element for enhancing or revitalising a relationship.

The usual expectation is that a sex toy provides direct stimulation of the genitals in foreplay and/or during sexual intercourse or as a means to acquire orgasm through only the stimulation provided by the sex toy.

Types of Sex Toys

Vibrating Sex Toys

Probably the most popular sex toys are ‘vibrators’ which, because the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They are mainly used to stimulate the clitoris, but could also be used to stimulate any other section of the female body or that of a man’s.

The simplest of the are pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker when compared to a pencil). They often have an interior battery (or two) which powers a little electric motor. Sometimes the battery power and controller are external and linked to the vibrator by way of a wire. This motor is fitted with a small, out of balance, weight attached to the shaft. As this weight rotates it throws the motor and vibrator into a small circular movement which causes the vibration you feel.

With a vibrator that has a controller, because the power is increased the speed of the motor increases sufficient reason for it both rate and strength of vibration. Both the strength and rate of vibration effects how stimulating you find the sex toy. The very best effect may not be as strong and as fast as you possibly can. The optimum settings may change as your degree of excitement builds. To get the very best results it is worth investing in a vibrator which is controllable.

Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you’ll well find you like one combination a lot more than another as well as your preference may even vary depending on which part of your system you are stimulating.

Recently electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which provide not only the static control of power/speed but also enable you to select patterns of power pulses and surges. These can be quite effective.

There are also other vibrating sex toys such as for example butterfly stimulators and vibrating penis rings.

Other Powered Sex Toys

There are some sex toys that use other ways to supply mechanical stimulation. These usually depend on a motor which makes the sex toy continually change its shape which provides a sort of rotational movement or helps it be move back and forth. The trunk and forth movements are occasionally powered by an air mattress pump rather than motor. The movements have already been used to create, for example, mechanical licking tongues, vibrators that ‘penetrate’ the vagina and mouth simulators to give a guy a ‘blow job’.

On a bigger scale plus much more expensive, you can find ‘sex machines’ that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.

Combination Sex Toys

So far we’ve covered vibrating, moving and thrusting sex toys. As you may have guessed these are all offered in a bewildering array of combinations.

A common combination in lots of ‘Rabbit Style’ vibrators is clitoral stimulation using vibrations and vaginal stimulation using movement and sometimes a thrusting motion as well.

Many adult toys add varying textures to their surfaces; a dildo or vibrator could have ridges or soft spikes or perhaps a rippled shape.

Sensation Change Sex Toys

Some sex toys instead of provide vibrating or moving stimulation, change the feel of sex.

For instance there are a variety of sleeves to put on the penis to supply different sensations for both partners while engaged in penetrative sex.

You can find rings that squeeze the base of the penis and/or tighten the scrotum that assist the man’s erection and also changes his sensations. There are penis extenders and thickeners which might give a man’s partner greater sensations during penetration.

There are a wide selection of lubricants that can significantly change the feel of sex.

You can find PVC and Polyurethane bed linens that are water and oil proof which you can use for slippery or messy sex.

Why Use A MASTURBATOR?

An excellent question is: why do people work with a sex toy? ラブドール Surely fingers, tongues, penises, clitorises and vaginas etc all provide great sexual stimulation and enjoyment.

Well, apart from therapeutic uses (eg erection assistance), sex toys can drive the imagination (being taken by a machine), provide variety (new ways to do old things), vary the stimulating effects in otherwise normal sex (penis sleeves) and some can provide experiences extremely hard with ‘normal body parts’ (particularly vibrating adult toys and electro-stimulation).

Where To Start

In case you have not tried a sex toy before and don’t yet have a good idea of what you might like, try among the simpler vibrators first. Most probably you will enjoy the experience and then begin to wonder what other delights are available with more sophisticated vibrators along with other sex toys …
