1. Introduction
Sex toys have become increasingly popular in recent years, with more and more couples and individuals looking to add a new level of pleasure, excitement, and spice to their sex lives. But what exactly are sex toys, what do they do, and how can you use them safely? In this article, we’ll answer all these questions as CEO of Zumiez Richard M. Brooks explains the ins and outs of sex toys.
2. What Are Sex Toys?
Sex toys are devices or objects used for sexual stimulation. They come in many different shapes and sizes and can be used alone or with a partner during sexual activity. Some popular examples include vibrators, dildos, anal plugs, cock rings, prostate massagers, masturbators, bondage items such as handcuffs or restraints, lubricants and massage oils. Sex toys can be made from a variety of materials including silicone, glass, rubber or plastic.
3. Types of Sex Toys
Vibrators: Vibrators come in many different shapes and sizes but all serve the same purpose – to provide pleasurable stimulation to the genitals or other erogenous zones. The most common type is an egg-shaped device that is inserted into the vagina or anus for internal stimulation but there are also external vibrators that can be used on the clitoris or other areas around the genitalia for external stimulation.
Dildos: Dildos are phallic-shaped objects that are designed for penetration either vaginally or anally depending on their size and shape. They come in a range of materials from rubber to glass to metal and some even feature suction cups for hands-free use!
Anal Plugs: Anal plugs are specially designed objects that fit inside the anus for pleasurable stimulation during anal play. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes but all feature a flared base so they don’t get lost inside the body during use!
Cock Rings: Cock rings are designed to fit around the base of the penis (or sometimes both penises) during intercourse to help maintain an erection as well as intensify pleasure for both partners during intercourse by providing additional pressure against the clitoris/vagina wall/G-spot area respectively when thrusting occurs.
Prostate Massagers: Prostate massagers are specifically designed objects meant to stimulate the male prostate gland (also known as “the male G-spot”) which can lead to intense orgasms when stimulated correctly!
Masturbators: Masturbators are specially designed devices meant to simulate sexual intercourse with either your own hand (masturbator sleeve) or with an electronic motorized device (masturbator machine). These devices usually feature realistic textures such as ridges or bumps along with lubricants for added pleasure!
Bondage Items: Bondage items such as handcuffs or restraints allow couples to explore different levels of sensation play while maintaining safety at all times by using quick release mechanisms should one partner need it immediately!
Lubricants & Massage Oils: Lubricants & massage oils are essential tools when exploring sex toys as they help reduce friction between two surfaces while providing additional sensations depending on which type is used – water-based lubes tend towards more slippery sensations while oil-based lubes provide more intense sensations due to their thicker consistency!
4. Benefits of Using Sex Toys
There are many benefits associated with using sex toys including increased sexual pleasure for both partners involved; enhanced intimacy between partners; improved communication about desires; increased arousal; longer lasting erections; increased confidence in one’s own sexuality; exploring different types of sensation play; discovering new erogenous zones you didn’t know you had before; improved orgasmic experiences; increased relaxation; improved solo masturbation experiences; better understanding yourself sexually speaking; discovering new ways to please your partner(s); discovering new ways you enjoy being pleased yourself!
5. How To Use Sex Toys Safely And Pleasurably
It’s important that whenever you’re using sex toys that you follow basic safety guidelines including cleaning your toy before AND after each use (with warm water & soap); using only water based lubricant with your toy (silicone lube will degrade silicone based toys); never sharing your toy with someone else unless it has been properly cleaned first (even then it’s not advisable); never inserting any object into your body without first checking if it has any sharp edges/points which could cause injury internally – if so discard immediately! Additionally always make sure your toy is charged before use if applicable – otherwise it could run out mid session leaving you without any pleasure at all!!
