A sex toy is a vibrating or non-vibrating object that can be inserted into a cock, anal or mouth. Male masturbation devices can be made from silicone, plastic, metal, or break-resistant glass.
Buying Your First Sex Toy
A walk into a sex toy store or browsing online can introduce you to an endless stream of vibrators, dildos, and clit-suckers all designed to make you orgasm. How can you tell which one is best for you? To start, you should consider the type of stimulation you enjoy, whether that’s internal or external. If you like penetration, an anal toy, or a G Spot Vibe, could be the right fit. If you’re into oral or vaginal stimuli, an air-suction product like LELO Sona 2 Cruise could be for you.
You should also consider the material a toy’s made from and its intended use. For example sex toys made from body-safe material like silicone, medical-grade steel, or glass are luxurious to touch and easy-to-clean and sterilize. Toys made of jelly-like materials can harbor bacteria and become porous, causing infection.
As you shop, take your time and don’t be afraid to ask a salesperson or browse reviews to help narrow your options. Remember, sex toy are not just for the adventurous. You can enjoy a variety of pleasures with a sex toy.
It’s time for you to test out your options once you’ve narrowed them down. Start with a small, discrete toy like a mini-vibe or a battery-powered dildo. This way, you’ll be able to determine if you like it or not before investing in more expensive toys.
If you’re still unsure, check out some local or trusted online retailers that carry a variety of sex toys and offer detailed descriptions of their products. Do not be afraid to purchase directly from the manufacturer. For example, you can buy from a sexpositive women-owned business or a LGBTQ-centered store. The employees of these businesses are usually knowledgeable and will provide a more personal, affirming shopping experience.
Internal Vibes
This wand, from We-Vibe Chorus’s Cosmo-approved internal vibrations, is ideal for adding a rumbly, non-invasive vibration to a solo or penetrative session.

External Vibes
If you’re looking to add rumbly sensations to your prostate or nipples, try the Hugo by luxury sex toy brand LELO. This remote-controlled vibrator is shaped as a U. It has ten pleasure settings, touch-sensitive receptors, and one motor for your penis and prostate. Plus, the toy’s squeeze-activated remote increases the power of its vibrations, mirroring your natural instinct to tighten your grip as pleasure intensifies.
Anal Toys
Sex toys that stimulate the anus can be used by people of any gender, and they can add an extra dimension to sexy solo or partner play. Anal plugs and anal beads can be used as options. Another option is a tail plug, which is designed to reach the entrance of the anus from the backside of the penis and stimulate nerve endings there to enhance sexual pleasure. Anal sex products can be used to stimulate either the prostate or the vulva, which is also known as the “P-spot” for men.
Anal plugs can be made from a variety of materials, but the safest are those that are skin-safe and non-porous. They should be easy to clean, and have a handle on the end of the plug for insertion. Regardless of what type of plug you choose, it’s important to use plenty of water-based lubricant during insertion to ensure comfort and avoid irritation or injury. Beginners in anal play are advised to start with smaller sizes, and then work their way up. Listen to your body, and communicate with your partner to adjust the level of stimulation.
There are a variety of anal plugs. These range from small ABS or silicone ones to wands more like a regular masseuse. Some are even scented or vibrate. For a simple anal plug that’s great for beginners, check out the baby blue beads from Lovehoney. These are slim, easy to insert and graduate in size from very small to up to a circumference of three inches. These are a great way to enjoy anal play. They can also be combined with a clitoris stud for more intensity.
If you’re ready to move on to a more advanced version of the anal plug, you can choose a dildo that has a large base or a wand with vibrations. The new LELO prostate massager is the perfect choice for both beginners and experienced users. It is a well rounded toy. Its slim and comfortable shape makes it easier to insert and it comes in a convenient hinged box that’s easy to keep at hand. Use plenty of water-based lotion when playing with this type of toy.
