The variety of sex toys is surprising. Sex toys change from purely male or purely female sex toys to toys which you can use by both sexes. There are also some sex toys that may also be classified as sex aids or marital aids.
THE OBJECTIVE OF Sex Toys
Some sex toys aid the man’s erection, stimulate the feminine genitals to become 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 greatly help someone who has difficulty with unaided sex to accomplish sexual satisfaction. However most adult toys provide a new solution to directly stimulate the female or male genitals to accomplish sexual satisfaction.
名器 Using sex toys can offer new experiences and variation in the sexual experience. Additionally, it may give 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 supplied by the sex toy.
Types of Sex Toys
Vibrating Sex Toys
Probably the most popular sex 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 than a pencil). They often have an internal battery (or two) which powers a small electric motor. Sometimes the battery power and controller are external and connected to the vibrator by way of a wire. This motor is fitted with a little, 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 which has a controller, as the power is increased the speed of the motor increases and with it both 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 and as fast as you possibly can. The optimum settings may well change as your degree of excitement builds. To get the best results it is worth investing in a vibrator which is controllable.
Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you may well find you prefer one combination much more than another as well as your preference may even vary depending on which part of your system 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 very effective.
Additionally, there are other vibrating sex toys such as butterfly stimulators and vibrating penis rings.
Other Powered Sex Toys
There are some adult toys that use other ways to provide mechanical stimulation. These usually depend on a motor that makes the sex toy continually change its shape which gives a sort of rotational movement or makes it 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 example, mechanical licking tongues, vibrators that ‘penetrate’ the vagina and mouth simulators to provide a guy 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. Because you can have guessed these are all offered in a bewildering selection of combinations.
A common combination in many ‘Rabbit Style’ vibrators is clitoral stimulation using vibrations and vaginal stimulation using movement and sometimes a thrusting motion aswell.
Many sex toys add varying textures with 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 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 selection of lubricants that can 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 Sex Toy?
A good question is: why do people use 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 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 sex toy before and don’t yet have a good idea of what you might like, try one of many simpler vibrators first. Almost certainly you will enjoy the experience and then begin to wonder what other delights are available with more sophisticated vibrators along with other sex toys …
