Sex toys come in all shapes, sizes, materials, and price ranges. Many people prefer buying online due to increased privacy and discretion.
However, if you’re interested in seeing how a toy works in person before buying it, consider going to your local adult store to check out demo models. If you choose to examine your potential toy in person, consider its size, texture, intensity of vibration, and control options.
Lovely Torso Toys
These are toys that represent a larger part of the human body such as the buttocks or labia.
While some people enjoy the stimulation they provide, some researchers worry that torso toys may lead individuals to treat their sex toys the same way that they would treat a human partner.
Activists and researchers have particular concern over female-bodied sex toys, as people who objectify or abuse these devices may begin to mistreat real sexual partners.
Exciting Vibrators
Vibrators for men, can be found in a variety of sizes, materials, and shapes with different speeds and intensities. Vibrators are commonly used on either the genitalia or the anus. You may decide to use them either by yourself or with a friend. Scrotal rings in particular can provide vibration around the penis and stimulate the clitoris during vaginal intercourse.
Flexible Dildos
These toys from Getfleshy are phallus-shaped and can stimulate the anus or prostate. Like vibrators, these come in a variety of materials and sizes. Dildos are useful for people with limited penile function and can also be used by people without penises.
Teledildonics
A stimulating new product in the market, breaking new boundaries. These are remote-controlled vibrators and penile sleeves that can be manipulated from a distance.
Male Fetish Toys
Cock cages, electronic stimulation toys, nipple clamps, the list goes on and on! A vast universe of fetish toys exists and possibilities for experimentation are limitless.
A well-stocked adult store might help customers explore what kind of toys interest them as well as explain how to use these toys. Think about what you already like as a starting point for fetish exploration.
Cleanliness
Once you’ve purchased and used your toys or toy. The cleanliness of the toy is also something to consider.
Items made of non-porous materials, such as glass, silicone, and metal are preferable for sex toys as they can be sterilized. That being said, please proceed with caution when using glass toys, as they could cause lacerations to the body if used while broken.
An excellent option for ensuring the safe use of toys made of porous materials is using condoms with the toys. Take care to understand how your toy was made and whether it’s safe and non-toxic. For example, plastics with bisphenol A (BPA) are considered less safe for use.
Read the Instructions
To clean your toy, follow the instructions on its packaging. Most are cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid using germicidal soaps, as they’ve been known to irritate genital tissues.
Similarly, it’s important to note that sexually transmitted infections, can be spread from person to person through shared sex toys. Pay particular attention when using with groups.
