A Guide to Adult Toys for Solo Explorers and Curious Couples

Adult toys are popping up all over the place, these days, from your favourite magazine to the most popular shows on TV! The reason? The false stereotype that sex toys are primarily used by lonely or desperate people has finally vanished. Therefore, the manner in that we talk about pleasures and orgasms has recently undergone a good change!

Why Use Sex Toys?

Did you know that using a toy for an adult can provide you with tons of benefits? It benefits your physical and mental wellness. Additionally, it can increase your intimacy and add the word pleasant to safe and satisfying sex. You can use them for solitary plays or spice up your partner’s bedroom passion.

The purpose of sex toys is to facilitate your sexual enjoyment. Stimulating both our bodies and intellect at once is a difficult feat. This is where love toys come in handy. All adult toys are made to lessen our “workload” by hitting the proper pleasure centres in our bodies. 

By teaching us more about our pleasure centres they increase our understanding of our bodies. Both sexes will feel more confident in reaching orgasm with a partner if they can learn how to make themselves climax when masturbating with toys.

Long gone are the days when sex toys were only meant for women, you won’t be “weak” or “less of a man” for using sexual devices for pleasure as well. Adult toys can bring back your confidence by making you last in bed longer, learning how to control your orgasms, discovering techniques for delaying your orgasm, staying hard after one, and having several.

And why use pain medication when you can try having an orgasm instead? Orgasm is the real pain kicker! When the event reaches its peak, a hormone that aids in increasing your pain tolerance gets released and any discomfort you may be feeling gets minimised almost instantly. 

Additionally, using a toy for an adult will not only boost metabolism but also maintain a healthy balance between oestrogen and testosterone. If either of these two is low, your risk for issues like heart disease and osteoporosis rises. So having sex can prevent certain diseases from developing.

Popular Adult Toys

Whether you want to spice up a committed relationship, explore sensations with new partners, or improve your solo masturbation, these popular sex toys can make your sexual life more exciting for sure!

Dildo

One of the most well-liked sex objects for females is a dildo, and a big part of its appeal is due to how adaptable it is. Dildos are toys without vibration that are used for internal massage and penetration. They can be non-anatomical with no similarity to a penis at all, or they can have an anatomical design to resemble a copy of an actual penis.

Dildos come in different forms and dimensions. To specifically target the g-spot, you can get a large dildo, a small one, metal or glass dildo, a textured dildo, or even a curved dildo. While many women enjoy dildos for g-spot stimulation and vaginal insertion, you can also get an anal dildo to penetrate the booty and stimulate nerve endings there!

Vibrator

You may have heard the buzz that no bedroom is complete without a vibrator. Any sex object that vibrates to activate the body’s erogenous zones is referred to as a vibrator. Which vibrator is best truly depends on what parts of your body you enjoy having stimulated. There are internal styles that massage the vagina and g-spot and external styles that stimulate the clitoris. 

The rabbit vibrator is another option if you want both exterior and interior stimulation at the same time. Featuring a vibrating vaginal shaft and external ears that vibrate against the clitoris, it gives you the best of both worlds.

Anal Beads

For novices who want to experiment with anal play but are frightened of rougher options such as butt plugs, anal beads are great, to begin with! A string of interconnected, little spheres known as anal beads gradually grows in size over time. They are excellent for novices since you may only enter the beads as far as you feel comfortable doing so while still receiving all the wonderful advantages.

This is a result of anal beads stimulating the nerve terminals at the anus opening. More than the internal canal, this area has thousands of nerve endings, and it is the entry and removal of the beads that provide the most pleasure.

C-Ring

These objects wrap around the base of the penis to prevent blood from returning to the body, which helps support and improve erections. To put even more pressure on the scrotum, some cock rings wrap around it. The most secure cock rings are composed of soft silicone, yet they can also be made of titanium or stainless steel. 

Vibrating cock rings can increase a wearer’s sexual enjoyment and stimulate a partner’s clitoral region. A cock ring should only be worn for small periods, and you should remove it right away if it hurts.

How to Take Good Care of Your Sex Toys

When it comes to taking care of your sex toys, you should always strive for the highest level of hygiene. If you don’t thoroughly clean and dry them, you run the risk of bacteria growing. Make sure to wash them with mild antibacterial soap and water until all soap is gone before and after each use unless the manufacturer’s instructions specify otherwise. The easiest approach to keep your toys is to air dry them so that no lint or residue from other items sticks to them.

Even though you shouldn’t ever share your sex toys, if you use them with a partner the cleaning procedure is much more important. If isn’t cleaned and shared properly, it may spread several STDs. For that reason, before giving a toy to someone else, always sanitize it.

These techniques are only suitable for toys without any mechanical or electrical components. The bottom line –  the same safe sex guidelines apply whether you’re sharing a toy with your male or female partner. Use a condom on the toy if you’re concerned about STDs just make sure you use a fresh one before swapping.

Depending on the toy, you may start noticing signs of wear and tear that indicate it’s time to throw it out! For instance, inferior toy motors may overheat, toys made of wood or glass may start to chip, and porous, soft plastic toys may eventually lose their colour.

It’s time to buy a new toy if there are any general symptoms of wear and tear or a persistent stench, as well as anything that poses a safety issue like a frayed cord. In general, you should always use caution and avoid becoming overly attached—you will always find another one that meets your needs.
