Beginner's Guide to Sex Toys
Sex toys have become more popular and mainstream than ever before. With so many different types of toys on the market, it can be overwhelming to know where to start if you're new to the world of sex toys. But fear not! This beginner's guide to sex toys will help you navigate the world of pleasure products and find the perfect toy for you.
- Understand the Basics
The first step in exploring sex toys is to understand what they are and how they work. Sex toys are devices designed to enhance sexual pleasure and can be used alone or with a partner. They come in many different shapes, sizes, and materials, and can stimulate different areas of the body.
Some common types of sex toys include vibrators, dildos, anal plugs, and masturbation sleeves etc.
Vibrators
Vibrators are, as you might have guessed, sex toys that vibrate. They come in a huge array of shapes and sizes to give you as much pleasure as non-humanly possible for anyone and everyone. From classic realistic, phallic shapes, to curved stimulators, rabbits, bullets, wands, remote and app-controlled. They're all designed to give clitoral, vaginal, G-spot and P-spot, or a mix of all types of stimulation.
Most women find it easier to achieve orgasm through clitoral stimulation than any other kind, which is why the vibrator is one of the most popular sex toys. Many combine both clitoral and penetrative stimulation to give you the most mind-blowing of blended orgasms. They also tend to offer a wide range of speeds and patterns so you can find which thrills you most. Check out our vibrators HERE.
Dildos
Dildos are insertable sex toys which are perfect for those who like something a little more realistic during their play. They provide straightforward satisfaction and are ideal if you need some sort of internal stimulation to orgasm.
Available in many different colours, shapes and sizes, they provide penetration pleasure unlike anything else. If it's length you're after, or a width to revere, you're bound to find it with a dildo. Check out our dildos HERE.
Strap-ons
Strap-ons are a great sex toy for both mixed- and same-sex couples. They allow you to penetrate your partner, while keeping your hands free for other fun.
The majority of strap-ons come with a strap-on harness that sits around the wearer's hips to give greater control over the toy during use.
Whether you're looking to add a bit of kink to your relationship, or are well-seasoned to the fun and versatility of strap-on play, there is a strap-on to fulfill your every need. Check out our strapons HERE.
Male Masturbators(Fleshlight/Strokers)
Male masturbators, like strokers or sleeves, make a great first time sex toy for men - they're easy to use, inexpensive, easy to clean and give out-of-this-world stimulation.
The Fleshlight is a legendary product in male masturbation. A Fleshlight is great for beginners as it comes with a discreet case and an insert so you can enjoy the ultra realistic sensations right out of the box.
Primarily for men and people with penises, to give out-of-this-world stimulation during solo sessions, strokers also make a great addition to couple’s play, spicing-up any kind of hand or mouth action. Many couples like to play together with sleeves and strokers as they are non-intimidating, and brilliant for revolutionising foreplay. If you or your partner have reservations about male sex toys because of their realistic look, a non-anatomical masturbator is a great alternative. Check out our male masturbators HERE.
- Choose the Right Material
Sex toys can be made from a variety of materials, including silicone, rubber, metal, and glass. It's important to choose a toy made from a body-safe material that won't cause irritation or allergic reactions. Silicone is a popular choice for its softness and durability, while glass toys offer a sleek and smooth feel. Rubber toys can be porous, which can make them more difficult to clean, and metal toys may be too heavy for some people.
- Consider Your Needs and Desires
When choosing a sex toy, it's important to consider your own needs and desires. Do you want a toy for clitoral stimulation, vaginal or anal penetration, or both? Do you prefer a toy that vibrates or one that doesn't? Are you looking for a toy to use alone or with a partner?
It's important to choose a toy that matches your own preferences and comfort level. Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of toys and see what works best for you.
- Start Small and Work Your Way Up
If you're new to sex toys, it's a good idea to start with something small and simple. A small vibrator or dildo can be a great choice for beginners, as they offer a gentle introduction to the world of sex toys. As you become more comfortable with using toys, you can gradually work your way up to larger or more complex toys.
- Use Lubrication
Using lubrication is important when using sex toys, as it can help reduce friction and make the experience more comfortable and pleasurable. Water-based lubricants are a good choice for most sex toys, as they won't damage the material and are easy to clean up. Avoid using oil-based lubricants with toys made from silicone or rubber, as they can cause damage to the material.
- Clean and Store Your Toys Properly
Proper cleaning and storage of sex toys is important for maintaining their longevity and ensuring they remain hygienic. Most toys can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap, while others may require a specific cleaning solution. Be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and storage.
Store your toys in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing toys together if they're made from different materials, as they may react with each other.
In conclusion, sex toys can be a great addition to your sexual repertoire, but it's important to choose the right toy and use it safely and responsibly. By following these tips, you can explore the world of sex toys with confidence and find the perfect toy for your needs and desires
