On Choosing a Sex Toy:
Choosing a sex toy is often difficult, especially if its your first time shopping for one. I thought it’d be helpful to share some basic tips and tricks for your sex toy search! I want to draw everyone’s attention to one of the most important things to look for in a sex toy: What it is made out of.
This is important for many reasons. You should always make sure that the toy you invest in can be cleaned/sterilized, especially if you’re using it with multiple partners. Its also critical to look at if the materials are safe for your body. As a general rule the best material is often silicone. Silicone toys are non-porous and so can be cleaned in boiling water. Just make sure you don’t silicone lube with your toy or you risk ruining it!
Sex Toys for Penis Owners:
It is an all too common myth that the only people who use and enjoy sex toys are those with vaginas. This probably stems from a lack of knowledge about what exactly is a sex toy, and the wide array of products on the market. The reality is that there are toys suited for every kind of person there is. For penis owners, there are some extra special toys that I’m going to be talking about tonight.
First and foremost, there is the masturbation sleeve (or penis sleeve). These are sleeves that you put your penis into and masturbate with. Many are meant to replicate the feeling of a vagina, anus, or mouth - and most are best with a little lube. There are two particular brands I suggest to anyone in the market, Tengaand Fleshlight. Tenga offers many awesome options, and a sleeve for less than $10 (The Tenga Egg) if you’re looking to try before you invest. They have a large variety of sensations too- so look around! The Fleshlights also come in many shapes and forms- but these will run you about $60!
Next, there is the cock ring. These can be put on dildos too, but they’re mainly marketed towards those with a cock, (which is how they got their name, how clever!) These rings are bits of material or O-shaped rings that fit or tie around the penis and restrict blood flow. This is said to help penis-owners maintain an erection. Many of these rings vibrate and are used for partner sex. It can add some awesome vibrations that may enhance pleasure for beginners or seasoned veterans of the bedroom.
These are just two examples of all the incredible toys available for penis owners, and don’t forget, anyone can use an anal toy!
