The Purpose Of Sex Toys
Some sex toys aid the man's erection, stimulate the female genitals to be sensitive or provide an alternative feel to'normal'sex. Other sex toys provide an'environment'for variations in sex, like so called orgy bed sheets. Sometimes they are used to help a person who has difficulty with unaided sex to reach sexual satisfaction. However most sex toys supply a new method to directly stimulate the male or female genitals to reach sexual satisfaction.
Using sex toys can offer new experiences and variation in the sexual experience. It can also provide a dream element for enhancing or revitalising a relationship.
The typical expectation is a sex toy provides direct stimulation of the genitals in foreplay and/or during sexual intercourse or as a way to obtain orgasm through only the stimulation provided by the sex toy.
Kinds of Sex Toys
Vibrating Sex Toys
Essentially the most well known sex toys are'vibrators'which, whilst the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They are mainly used to stimulate the clitoris, but are often used to stimulate any other part of the female body or that of a man's.
The simplest of they're pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker than a pencil). They usually have an internal battery (or two) which powers a small electric motor. Sometimes the battery pack and controller are external and attached to the vibrator by way of a wire. This motor is fitted with a tiny, out of balance, weight attached to the shaft. As this weight rotates it throws the motor and vibrator into a small circular movement that causes the vibration you feel.
With a vibrator that's a controller, as the ability 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 most effective effect might not be as strong and as fast as possible. The optimum settings may change as your amount of excitement builds. To have the very best results it is worth buying a vibrator which is controllable.
Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you could well find you want one combination a lot more than another and your preference can even vary depending where part of the human body you're stimulating.
Now electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which provide not merely the static control of power/speed but in addition allow you to select patterns of power pulses and surges. These can be extremely effective.
There's also other vibrating sex toys such as for example butterfly stimulators and vibrating penis rings.
Other Powered Sex Toys
There are some sex toys that use alternative methods to provide mechanical stimulation. These usually depend on a motor which makes the sex toy continually change its shape which gives a kind of rotational movement or causes it to be move back and forth. The rear and forth movements are now and again powered by an air mattress 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 offer a man a'blow job '.
On a bigger scale and much more expensive, you will find'sex machines'that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.
Combination Sex Toys
So far we have covered vibrating, moving and thrusting sex 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 sex toys add varying textures to their surfaces; a dildo or vibrator may have ridges or soft spikes or even a rippled shape.
Sensation Change Sex Toys
Some sex toys as opposed to provide vibrating or moving stimulation, change the feel of sex.
For example there are a selection of sleeves to place over the penis to supply different sensations for both partners while engaged in penetrative sex.
There are rings that squeeze the foot of the penis and/or tighten the scrotum that assist the man's erection and also changes his sensations. You can find penis extenders and thickeners which might give a man's partner greater sensations during penetration.
There are certainly a wide variety of lubricants that could significantly change the feel of sex.
There are PVC and Polyurethane bed sheets that are water and oil proof that can be used for slippery or messy sex.
Why Use A Sex Toy?
A great question is: why do people work with 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 way of 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 parts of the body'(particularly vibrating sex toys and electro-stimulation).
