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

THE OBJECTIVE OF Sex Toys

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

Using sex toys can offer new experiences and variation in the sexual experience. Additionally, it may provide a fantasy element for enhancing or revitalising a relationship.

The usual expectation is that a masturbator 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 well known adult toys are ‘vibrators’ which, as the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They’re mainly utilized to stimulate the clitoris, but could also be used to stimulate any other portion of the female body or that of a man’s.

The simplest of these are pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker than a pencil). They often have an interior battery (or two) which powers a little electric motor. Sometimes the battery pack and controller are external and linked to the vibrator by 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 in turn causes the vibration you feel.

With a vibrator that has a controller, because the power is increased the speed of the motor increases and with it both the rate and strength of vibration. Both the strength and rate of vibration effects how stimulating you discover the sex toy. The very best effect may not be as strong so when fast as you possibly can. The optimum settings may well change as your amount of excitement builds. To get the best results it is worth buying a vibrator which is controllable.

Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you’ll well find you like one combination much more than another as well as your preference may even vary based on which part of the body you are stimulating.

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

Additionally, there are other vibrating sex toys such as 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 that makes the masturbator continually change its shape which gives a sort of rotational movement or helps it be move back and forth. The back and forth movements are sometimes 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 provide a guy a ‘blow job’.

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

Combination Sex Toys

So far we have 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 with 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 provide different sensations for both partners while engaged in penetrative sex.

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

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

There are PVC and Polyurethane bed sheets which are water and oil proof that can be used for slippery or messy sex.

Why Use A MASTURBATOR?

A good question is: why do people use a masturbator? Surely fingers, tongues, penises, clitorises and vaginas etc all provide great sexual stimulation and enjoyment.

Well, aside from therapeutic uses (eg erection assistance), sex toys can drive the imagination (being taken by a machine), provide variety (new methods 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 masturbator before and don’t yet have a good idea of everything 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 …
