Sex Toys FAQ #1 - What's a Vibrator?
A
vibrator is a battery or electrical powered device that delivers fast,
reliable vibrations much more intensely than a hand, penis or mouth. So this
is why vibrators are often recommended by doctors, therapists and magazine
editors as an effective way to help you achieve an orgasm.
Vibrators come in a huge range of shapes and sizes, some will appeal to
you, and others may not. You can get
penis shaped vibrators,
egg shaped vibrators and even
animal shaped vibrators.
Because vibrator orgasms can be more intense and are easier to achieve, they
can soon become an important and regular part of your sexual norm.
Sex Toys FAQ #2 - What's a Dildo?
A dildo unlike a vibrator does not vibrate. It is
designed for insertion either vaginally or anally. A dildo can be used on
its own or in a harness to enable hands-free penetration of a partner. These
are called strap-on dildos. Strap on sex is a common practice amongst
straight couples and gay couples.
Straight men sometimes enjoy penetration
by their partner which stimulates their prostrate gland and some women enjoy
penetrating their partner with a strap-on dildo perhaps because it gives
them power and a unique sensation of pleasure giving.
Men in straight
relationships can wear a dildo to experiment with double penetration on
their partner, or to prolong sexual intercourse after their own
erection has
subsided or before intercourse to lengthen the experience for their lover.
Sex Toys FAQ #3 - What's the Difference between Vibrators and Dildos?
Contrary to
popular belief a dildo does not vibrate and is designed for insertion. This
often leads to the misconception that women orgasm more readily through
thrusting which is incorrect. The shape of a vibrator is not as important to
women as the "spot" it hits because most women orgasm through clitoral
stimulation rather than thrusting alone, although once combined the dildo
and vibrator may provide the ultimate experience for many women.
Sex Toys FAQ #4 - What is a Clitoral Vibrator?
Most women admit to being able to
orgasm easier through direct clitoral stimulation and while standard
vibrators can easily help women achieve this, clitoral vibrators are used
uniquely for this pleasure.
These vibrators are normally smaller, friendlier
looking and better for beginners using a vibrator for the first time. They
are often less intimidating than phallic shaped vibrators.
Some are hand
held such as the
Pocket Rocket and others can be worn, such as the
Venus Butterfly, or the
Decadent Lovebird. There are even
remote control vibrators on the market so that the woman's partner can
participate in pleasuring her with their choice of clitoral vibrator.
Sex Toys FAQ #5 - What is a G-Spot Vibrator?
The g-spot lies on the front wall
of the vagina and is approximately an inch in size. The g-spot vibrator is designed for
insertion and usually has a curved tip to stimulate this difficult to find
area.
Some people have disputed the existence of the g-spot but those lucky
ones that find it will discover a very intense and powerful orgasm that
feels different to a clitoral orgasm. If you try a g-spot vibrator but find
the vibrations too distracting, a curved tip dildo will be a great
alternative.
Sex Toys FAQ #6 - What are Anal Toys?
As their name suggests anal
sex toys are used in the anal
area and can come in vibrating or non vibrating versions.
The anal sex toys that
bulge in the middle are called butt plugs and are often left in place during
sex. Anal beads are strung together and are designed to be inserted one by
one and then pulled out gently using the loop. Anal toys that are shaped
like small dildos are good for penetration and are often the choice for
stimulating men.
Used with a good quality sex
lube or lubricant, anal toys can provide
stimulation that feels good for women or men. Anal toys should have a flared
base to stop them being drawn in by the body.
Sex Toys FAQ #7 - What are Male Sex Toys?
Male sex toys again can come in a variety of shapes and
sizes. Because vibrators are much discussed they've become socially
acceptable in much of the Western world as they have helped women learn
about their body and how to achieve orgasm easier.
However men also enjoy
playing with toys, as vibration can feel great on the anus, penis, testicles
or perineum.
A vibrating sleeve or artificial vagina is great for male
masturbation to give often more powerful sensations and some are very
lifelike so can simulate intercourse for the man.
There are also penis rings
that in their simple form can be used as erection enhancers to more couple
friendly vibrating versions that aim to stimulate their partner during sex.
Many men also enjoy sex dolls and again there is a huge variety on the
market to suit every budget.
