The Goal Of Sex Toys



Some sex toys aid the man's erection, stimulate the feminine genitals to get more sensitive or provide a different feel to 'normal' sex. Other sex toys provide an 'environment' for variations in sex, for instance so called orgy bed sheets. Sometimes they are used to assist an individual who has difficulty with unaided sex to achieve sexual satisfaction. Most sex toys provide a new way to directly stimulate the male or female genitals to achieve sexual satisfaction, however.

Using sex toys can offer new variation and experiences within the sexual experience. Additionally, it may offer a fantasy element for enhancing or revitalising a partnership.



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 provided by the sex toy. That's the usual expectation.



Kinds of Sex Toys



Vibrating Sex Toys



Essentially the most well-known sex toys are 'vibrators' which, as the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. May also be used to stimulate any other part of the female body or that of a man's, though they are mainly used to stimulate the clitoris.



The most basic of those are pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker than a pencil). They often come with an internal battery (or two) which powers a small electric motor. Sometimes the battery controller and pack are external and connected to the vibrator with a wire. This motor is fitted having a small, from balance, weight connected to the shaft. Because this weight rotates it throws the motor and vibrator into a small circular movement that causes the vibration you feel.



With a vibrator that has a controller, because the power is increased the rate of the motor increases along with it both the rate and strength of vibration. The rate and strength of vibration effects how stimulating you find the sex toy. The best effect will not be as strong and as quickly as possible. The optimum settings may well change as the degree of excitement builds. For the greatest results it is worth purchasing a vibrator that is controllable.



Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you could well find you want one combination a lot more than another along with your preference could even vary depending on which part of your body you are stimulating.



Recently electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which offer not only the static control of power/speed but also allow you to select patterns of power surges and pulses. These can be extremely effective.



There are also other vibrating sex toys like butterfly stimulators and vibrating penis rings.



Other Powered Sex Toys



There are several sex toys that use alternative methods to provide mechanical stimulation. These usually rely on a motor that creates the sex toy continually change its shape which provides a kind of rotational movement or makes it move back and forth. The back and forth movements are often powered by an air pump instead of a motor. The movements happen to be used to create, as an example, mechanical licking tongues, vibrators that 'penetrate' the vagina and mouth simulators to give a man a 'blow job'.



On the bigger scale and a lot more expensive, there are 'sex machines' that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.



Combination Sex Toys



So, far we have covered moving, thrusting and vibrating sex toys. You might have guessed these are all offered in a bewildering array of combinations.



A common combination in numerous 'Rabbit Style' vibrators is clitoral stimulation using vibrations and vaginal stimulation using movement and sometimes a thrusting motion also.



Many sex toys add varying textures for 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, modify the feel of sex.



For example there are a variety of sleeves to set over the penis to provide different sensations for both partners while involved in penetrative sex.



You will find rings that squeeze the bottom of the penis and tighten the scrotum that help the man's erection and in addition changes his sensations. You can find penis extenders and thickeners which might provide a man's partner greater sensations during penetration.



There are numerous lubricants that will significantly alter the feel of sex.



You can find PVC and Polyurethane bed sheets which can be water and oil proof which you can use for slippery or messy sex.



Why Use A Sex Toy?



A great question is: so why do people make use of a sex toy? Surely tongues, clitorises, vaginas, penises and fingers etc all provide great sexual enjoyment and stimulation.



Well, besides therapeutic uses (eg erection assistance), sex toys can drive the imagination (being taken with a machine), provide variety (new methods to do old things), vary the stimulating effects in otherwise normal sex (penis sleeves) plus some can provide experiences difficult with 'normal body parts' (particularly vibrating sex toys and electro-stimulation).
