SUBSCRIBESex Toys 101 - What They Are, Where To Get Them, and Why You Shouldn’t Share Them With Your Friends
Perhaps as a sign of the times, many people like to joke and tease about sex toys, but few have actually seen - or Gasp! - actually USED any sex toys for fun and pleasure… to add some spice to their sex lives.
Which begs the question…
Do normal people actually use sex toys?
Of course they do! Let’s get this out there once and for all.
Sex toys are often used by regular people just like you and me. Your friends and neighbors probably have a vibrator or something similar, they just don’t talk with you about it.
In previous decades and altogether darker times in our history, the idea of using sex toys was driven largely underground and ridiculed. It was labeled as something exclusive to weirdos, perverts, and people who couldn’t have "normal" sex. This was largely done by individuals or groups of religious extremists within various governments worldwide, trying to convert others and enforce their moral and religious ideals on others (think back to what you’ve read about The Crusades and all the good those efforts brought the world).
As always, ignorance breeds contempt. And there’s very little useful information out there today on sex toys; and on any sexuality topics that deviate from the ultra conservative main stream views of sex.
So keep an open mind and let’s delve into the wonders of sex with toys.
Obviously there’s no such thing as "normal" sex (a very common myth); there is only what you (and your partner) choose and prefer sexually. That kind of open mindedness is absolutely crucial to a happy and fulfilling sex life.
So what specifically are all these sex toys that everyone’s talking about, and are they really as much fun as you’ve heard?
Some of our favorite sex toys
Sex toys come in many, many different shapes and sizes, colors, and even fragrances. Here’s a breakdown…
Vibrators
When most people speak of sex toys they’re generally referring to basic vibrators - a simple, mostly straight, phallic shaped object, that happens to also have a built-in vibrating mechanism.
Perhaps the most popular type of vibrator is the rabbit, a combination vibrator that is able to stimulate both the vagina (as a regular vibrator) and also the clitoris - at the same time. This fact has made the rabbit a favorite overnight.
Another popular type of vibrator is the egg. These vibrators are egg / oval shaped (as the name suggest) usually just under two inches in length, and can be used both internally and externally. As you can guess by their size, they are designed for internal use.
Then of course there are the more exotic remote controlled vibrators, for discrete fun between lovers when in public and on special hot date evenings. Use with caution, and be sure to enjoy discretely.
Dildos
Dildos basically look like most people’s idea of a "vibrator", but are not motorized. They’re entirely hand activated, and are intended for clitoral or vaginal stimulation - although as is the case with most sex toys, intended use and actual creative use in practice are not always the same. They of course also come in many shapes and sizes.

I must admit to not being a fan of sex toys; my personal view is that they take away from the depth of the sexual experience. I tend to view sex as a union between two people AND for enjoyment. I think the introduction of the toys brings a ‘third person’ into the mix.

Hm, I share my sex toys with others. I use this sex toy disinfectant called “Come Clean” that smells decent and you can just spray it on and wipe it off.
For sure what your sex toy is made out of matters - you want to avoid porous material like jelly dongs. You can sterilize glass dildos - you can boil them in hot water or even put them in the dishwasher!
