Current Mood: Flirtatious & Playful

Sex toys have been around in one form or another for hundreds of years but they are becoming more popular than ever in modern day society. Often referred to as marital aids, sex toys facilitate sexual pleasure for couples or for solo use. A recent study of the Temptations Direct website purchaser figures illustrates that the proportion of women and men buying sex toys is a fairly even split with 52% of women and 48% of men being consumers. If you are new to sex toys and want to try them out for the first time to heighten sexual satisfaction and spice up your bedroom activities but are unsure what sort of toy to buy this guide could help you to make a decision.

What type of sex toy is the best to start off with?

Which sex toy to start with is one of the first things to consider when thinking about the potential purchase of an adult toy? Sex toys come in many different guises: dildos, cock rings, anal sex toys, male and female sex pumps, sex dolls, strap ons and vibrators to name but a few. If you want to experience a penetrative sex toy for the first time it is a good idea to try something that has some degree of flexibility such as a jelly dildo. Non penetrative sex toys such as cock rings that are made of silicon or rubber have some give in them and can help to prolong an erection which is firmer and fuller that can lead to increased sexual satisfaction for both parties. These cock rings have far more flexibility than rigid metal cock rings, which cause considerable restriction to the wearer.

Size and cost matters

Other important factors to consider are size and cost.  Start small and work up to bigger sex toys when you are more experienced. Mini vibrators deliver a fantastic orgasm but are small enough to be transported just about anywhere. You also do not want to spend a considerable amount on your first purchase if you are unsure whether you will enjoy the experience of a sex toy. Small vibrators start from as low as £4, jelly dildos are anything from £10 and cock rings retail from as little as £2 and therefore do not result in a considerable outgoing.

Use sexual lubricants

If you are a beginner to penetrative sex toys it is always advisable to use a sexual lubricant. This is especially important in the use of anal sex toys as neither the anus nor the rectum naturally produce their own lubrication so it is imperative that anal lubrication is used for more pleasurable and comfortable anal sex toy pursuits. Moreover, some anal gels and sprays are specifically designed to condition the tissues surrounding the anus and relax the anal muscles, therefore making penetration considerably easier. Anal finger stimulators are ideal for first timers to anal play as not only are they small and inexpensive but they are often made of soft silicone making penetration far more comfortable.

Sex toy cleaner

On purchasing your adult toy you should also contemplate buying a sex toy cleaner. Cheap to buy, this additional item should be utilised immediately after sex toy use to keep it clean. Safe, effective and ant-bacterial, sex toy cleaners help to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria and help to keep your sex toy last for longer.

All around the world, there will always be a handful of couples that have been left unsatisfied by their sexual partners. Others may also say that the occasional use of some sexy lingerie is no longer enough to ensure that their sex doesn’t get boring. The general consensus that regular love making is becoming dull has made sex toys such a valuable addition to a couple’s sex life.

So how does the use of sex toys like dildos or vibrators enhance someone’s sexual experience? As a relationship continues to progress, there is a tendency for the couple’s sex life to become boring because foreplay becomes more and more neglected. Essentially, some couple’s have chosen to press the fast-forward button of the sex, skipping the excitement that foreplay produces and diving to intercourse right away. The addition of sex toys to the sexual experience gifts the couple with the ‘spice’ and passion that they may be losing.

Sex toys generally provide more playfulness and pleasure to the entire sexual experience. For example, the simple use of a vibrator can make sex more enjoyable for the woman as it prepares her for actual intercourse. The simple knowledge that you are pleasuring your partner is also something that a man will enjoy. When a couple uses sex toys together, it also has a tendency to make intercourse more intimate and thus helping the couple grow closer in other aspects of their relationship.

Sex dolls, vibrators, dildos and any other kind of sex toy imaginable were all made for the sole purpose of heightening pleasure and giving the user a greater orgasmic experience than that of regular masturbation. So, if you’re looking for a way to add more spice to your sexual life, taking a trip to the sex store such as http://www.temptationsdirect.co.uk should be on your agenda.
