ADULT TOYS On A Budget: 5 Tips From The Great Depression

The variety of adult toys is surprising. Sex toys vary from purely male or purely female adult toys to toys that can be used by both sexes. Additionally, there are some sex toys that can 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 become more sensitive or provide a different feel to ‘normal’ sex. Other adult toys offer an ‘environment’ for variations in sex, for example so called orgy bed sheets. Sometimes they are used to help a person who has difficulty with unaided sex to accomplish sexual satisfaction. However most sex toys provide a new way to directly stimulate the female or male genitals to attain sexual satisfaction.

Using sex toys can offer 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 intercourse or as a means to acquire orgasm through only the stimulation supplied by the sex toy.

Types of Sex Toys

Vibrating Sex Toys

Probably the most popular adult toys are ‘vibrators’ which, as the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They are mainly used to stimulate the clitoris, but could also be used to stimulate any other section of the female body or that of a man’s.

The simplest of these are pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker when compared to a pencil). They often have an interior battery (or two) which powers a small electric motor. Sometimes the battery power and controller are external and linked to the vibrator by way of a wire. This motor is fitted with a little, out of balance, weight mounted on 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 that 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 discover the sex toy. The best effect is probably not as strong and as fast as possible. The optimum settings may well change as your amount of excitement builds. To get the very best results it is worth buying a vibrator which is controllable.

Different vibrators could have different characteristics and you’ll well find you like one combination a lot more than another as well as your preference may even vary depending on which part of your body you are stimulating.

Recently electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which provide not merely the static control of power/speed but also enable you to select patterns of power pulses and surges. These can be quite effective.

There are also other vibrating sex toys such as for example 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 masturbator continually change its shape which gives sort of rotational movement or makes it move back and forth. The trunk and forth movements are occasionally powered by an air pump rather than motor. The movements have been used to create, for instance, mechanical licking tongues, vibrators that ‘penetrate’ the vagina and mouth simulators to provide a man a ‘blow job’.

On a bigger scale and much more expensive, there are ‘sex machines’ that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.

So far we have covered vibrating, moving and thrusting adult 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 as well.

Many sex toys add varying textures to their surfaces; a dildo or vibrator may have ridges or soft spikes or a rippled shape.

Sensation Change Sex Toys

Some sex toys instead of provide vibrating or moving stimulation, change the feel of sex.

For instance there are a number of sleeves to put on the penis to supply different sensations for both partners while engaged in penetrative sex.

There are rings that squeeze the bottom 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 which you can use for slippery or messy sex.

Why Use A MASTURBATOR?

An excellent 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, aside from therapeutic uses (eg erection assistance), sex toys can drive the imagination (being taken by a machine), provide variety (new ways 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 an 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 and other sex toys …
