The variety of adult toys is surprising. Sex toys vary from purely male or purely female sex 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 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 example so called orgy bed sheets. Sometimes they are used to help somebody who has difficulty with unaided sex to achieve sexual satisfaction. However most sex toys provide a new solution to directly stimulate the male or female genitals to achieve 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 obtain 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’re mainly used 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 these 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 pack and controller are external and linked to the vibrator by 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 strength and rate of vibration effects how stimulating you find the sex toy. 震動飛機杯 is probably not as strong and as fast as possible. The optimum settings may change as your amount of excitement builds. To get the best results it is worth buying a vibrator which is controllable.
Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you may well find you like one combination a lot more than another as well as your preference may even vary based on which part of your system you are stimulating.
More recently electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which provide not merely the static control of power/speed but also let you select patterns of power pulses and surges. These can be quite effective.
Additionally, there are 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 supply 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 helps it be move back and forth. The back and forth movements are sometimes powered by an air pump rather than motor. The movements have already 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, you can find ‘sex machines’ that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.
Combination Sex Toys
So far we’ve covered vibrating, moving and thrusting adult toys. As you may have guessed they are all offered in a bewildering array 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 adult toys add varying textures to 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 on the penis to provide different sensations for both partners while engaged in penetrative sex.
You can find rings that squeeze the bottom of the penis and/or tighten the scrotum that assist the man’s erection and in addition changes his sensations. There are penis extenders and thickeners which might give a man’s partner greater sensations during penetration.
There are a wide selection of lubricants that can significantly change the feel of sex.
You can find PVC and Polyurethane bed linens which are water and oil proof which you can use for slippery or messy sex.
Why Use A Sex Toy?
An excellent question is: why do people use a masturbator? 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
For those who 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 …
