The idea of women enjoying sex, pleasuring themselves by their own hand, let alone using a sex toy, is still frequently regarded as taboo by the mainstream, even in our more “forward-thinking” societies. History, religion and many social factors have helped to repress our attitudes about sex, but especially about women’s sexuality.
However, a recent survey funded by Church and Dwight Co. Inc., maker of Trojan brand sexual health products sheds positive light on our quietly arousing sexuality. The survey indicated that half of American adults use vibrators and that vibrator-use is a sign of a positive and healthy sex life. More than 60% of partnered women reported using a vibrator.
Yes, sex is good, sex is great, all the more reason to masturbate! And use sex toys, of course. With a partner or alone, for anyone new to sex toys and other related sex gear, here are some sex toy suggestions for beginners, worth considering keeping in your sock drawer.
Lubricant
Not exactly a toy, but just as fun as one, is lubricant. A good tube of lube is essential when using any of your toys to prevent cuts or tearing. When selecting a lubricant for you and your partner, you need to keep several things in mind. First, if you are going to be using a latex condom, make sure the lubricant is either silicone-based or water-based. If you use an oil-based lubricant, like Vaseline, the latex can break down and may reduce the effectiveness of the condom.
Vibrators
Women who use vibrators report better sex, including higher sexual desire and arousal, as well as orgasm. If you’re purchasing your first vibrator you can browse your selections online or in a store, though many people feel quite shy about walking into sex shops. I can assure you however, that if you do work up the guts, the people who work there will be very professional and assist you in any way they can. It also gives you the chance to open up about your sexual likes and dislikes and have an expert guide on what toys are best for you.
You may recall the Sex and the City episode where Charlotte discovers/becomes addicted to “The Jack Rabbit”. Well, there’s good reason for that and your orgasm in less than 2 minutes should be enough to prove it. The actual dildo part is made of comfortable jelly material and is 7 inches long. The shaft of the dildo, has a pocket of little pearls that vibrate causing the shaft to expand. Finally, with its own separate remote, you can control how fast the “rabbit ears” vibrate against your clitoris. The vibrator was unanimously chosen “Best Vibrator” out of 40 different vibrators in Playboy’s TV show “Sexectra”.
There are several types of vibrators you can get, depending on whether you are looking for clitoral stimulation or vaginal or both. According to the 10 most highly rated vibrators that Amazon sells, the Hitachi Magic Wand Vibrating Massager by Vibratex is a wonderful personal vibrating massager and has been a best-seller for nearly 30 years. Perfect for novices it has two speeds with a soft flexible head.
You can also get to know your infamous G-Spot with the GIGI. Five pre-programmed pleasure modes and a virtually silent vibrator engine deliver deep and vibrant sensations with precision as spot-on as the finest tattoo equipment. (Well that was a painful analogy.)
These are just examples of vibrators available. A little online research, and as I mentioned, speaking with a professional about your particular needs is the best way help you make the best decision.
Anal Sex Toys
The number one rule with anal toys is NEVER choose a size which is too big. Start small and work your way up. Some of the most popular anal toys are butt plugs and anal beads. (Prostate anal toys and perineum anal sex toys are only suitable for men.) Anal beads consist of multiple spheres or balls attached together in series which are continuously inserted through the anus into the rectum and then removed with varying speeds depending on the effect desired. Anal butt plus are similar to dildos however, tend to be shorter and have a flared end to prevent the device from being lost inside the rectum. Large amounts of sexual lubricant and a slow gentle approach are often needed to insert or remove a butt plug, so be open and talk with your partner if the two of you decide to adventure your behind.
