Sex Toys Awards: 5 EXPLANATIONS WHY They Don’t Work & What You Can Do About It

The variety of sex toys is surprising. Sex toys change from purely male or purely female adult toys to toys which you can use by both sexes. Additionally, there are 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 feminine genitals to become 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 someone who has difficulty with unaided sex to attain sexual satisfaction. However most sex toys provide a new way to directly stimulate the female or male genitals to accomplish sexual satisfaction.

Using sex toys can provide 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 sex toy provides direct stimulation of the genitals in foreplay and/or during sexual intercourse or as a means to obtain orgasm through only the stimulation supplied by the sex toy.

Types of Sex Toys

Vibrating Sex Toys

Probably the most well known sex toys are ‘vibrators’ which, as the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They’re mainly utilized to stimulate the clitoris, but may also be used to stimulate any other area 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 mounted on the shaft. As this weight rotates it throws the motor and vibrator right into a small circular movement which causes the vibration you feel.

With a vibrator which has a controller, as the power is increased the speed of the motor increases sufficient reason for it both the rate and strength of vibration. Both the strength and rate of vibration effects how stimulating you discover the sex toy. The 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 very best results it is worth buying a vibrator which is controllable.

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

There are also 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 provide mechanical stimulation. These usually depend on a motor which makes the masturbator continually change its shape which provides sort of rotational movement or helps it be move back and forth. The trunk and forth movements are sometimes powered by an air mattress pump rather than a motor. The movements have already been used to create, for instance, mechanical licking tongues, vibrators that ‘penetrate’ the vagina and mouth simulators to give a man a ‘blow job’.

On a bigger scale and much more expensive, there are ‘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 selection 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 aswell.

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

Sensation Change Sex Toys

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

For instance there are a number of sleeves to put on the penis to provide 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 may provide a man’s partner greater sensations during penetration.

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

There are PVC and Polyurethane bed linens that 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, apart from therapeutic uses (eg erection assistance), adult toys can drive the imagination (being taken by way of 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 sex toys and electro-stimulation).

Where To Start

If you have not tried a masturbator before and don’t yet have a good idea of everything you might like, try one of the simpler vibrators first. Almost certainly you will benefit from the experience and then start to wonder what other delights can be found with more sophisticated vibrators and other sex toys …
