The variety of adult toys is surprising. Sex toys change from purely male or purely female sex toys to toys that can be used by both sexes. There are also some sex toys that may also be classified as sex aids or marital aids.
The Purpose Of Sex Toys
Some adult toys aid the man’s erection, stimulate the feminine genitals to are more sensitive or provide a different feel to ‘normal’ sex. Other sex toys provide an ‘environment’ for variations in sex, for instance so called orgy bed sheets. Sometimes they are used to help somebody who has difficulty with unaided sex to accomplish sexual satisfaction. However most sex toys provide a new solution to directly stimulate the male or female genitals to achieve sexual satisfaction live doll full size.
Using sex toys can provide new experiences and variation in the sexual experience. It can also 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 activity or as a means to obtain orgasm through only the stimulation provided by the sex toy.
Types of Sex Toys
Vibrating Sex Toys
Probably the most popular adult toys are ‘vibrators’ which, because the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They are 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 the are pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker when compared to a pencil). They often have an internal battery (or two) which powers a little electric motor. Sometimes the battery pack and controller are external and connected 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 causes the vibration you feel.
With a vibrator which 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 find the sex toy. The best effect is probably not as strong so when fast as possible. The optimum settings may 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 may well find you like one combination a lot more than another as well as your preference may even vary based on which part of your body you are stimulating.
Recently electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which provide not only the static control of power/speed but additionally permit you to 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 supply mechanical stimulation. These usually depend on a motor which makes the masturbator continually change its shape which provides 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 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 plus much more expensive, you can find ‘sex machines’ that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.
Combination Sex Toys
So far we’ve 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 aswell.
Many adult toys add varying textures to their surfaces; a dildo or vibrator could 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 over the penis to supply 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. You can find penis extenders and thickeners which may give a man’s partner greater sensations during penetration.
There are a wide selection of lubricants that may significantly change the feel of sex.
There are PVC and Polyurethane bed sheets that are water and oil proof which you can use for slippery or messy sex.
Why Use A MASTURBATOR?
A good question is: why do people work with a sex toy? Surely fingers, tongues, penises, clitorises and vaginas etc all provide great sexual stimulation and enjoyment.
Well, apart 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 not possible with ‘normal body parts’ (particularly vibrating adult toys and electro-stimulation).
Where To Start
Assuming 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 benefit from the experience and then begin to wonder what other delights can be found with more sophisticated vibrators along with other sex toys …
