The variety of adult toys is surprising. Sex toys change from purely male or purely female adult toys to toys which you can use by both sexes. Additionally, there are some sex toys that can also be classified as sex aids or marital aids.
The Purpose Of Sex Toys
Some sex toys aid the man’s erection, stimulate the female genitals to become more sensitive or provide a different feel to ‘normal’ sex. Other sex toys offer an ‘environment’ for variations in sex, for instance so called orgy bed linens. Sometimes they are used to greatly help a person who has difficulty with unaided sex to attain sexual satisfaction. However most adult toys provide a new way to directly stimulate the male or female genitals to accomplish sexual satisfaction.
Using sex toys can provide new experiences and variation in the sexual experience. It can also provide a fantasy element for enhancing or revitalising a relationship.
The usual expectation is that a masturbator provides direct stimulation of the genitals in foreplay and/or during sexual activity or as a means to acquire orgasm through only the stimulation provided by the sex toy.
Types of Sex Toys
Vibrating Sex Toys
Probably the most well known sex toys are ‘vibrators’ which, as the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They are mainly used to stimulate the clitoris, but may also be used to stimulate any other part of the female body or that of a man’s.
The simplest of these are pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker than a pencil). They often have an internal battery (or two) which powers a little electric motor. Sometimes the battery pack and controller are external and linked to the vibrator by a wire. This motor is fitted with a little, out of balance, weight mounted on the shaft. As this weight rotates it throws the motor and vibrator right into a small circular movement which in turn causes the vibration you feel.
With a vibrator that has a controller, as the power 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 find the sex toy. The best effect will not be as strong so when fast as possible. The optimum settings may change as your amount of excitement builds. To get the very best results it is worth buying a vibrator which is controllable.
Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you may well find you like one combination a lot more than another as well as your preference may even vary based on which part of your body you are stimulating.
Recently electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which provide not only the static control of power/speed but also allow you to select patterns of power pulses and surges. These can be quite effective.
Additionally, there are other vibrating sex toys such as butterfly stimulators and vibrating penis rings.
Other Powered Sex Toys
There are some adult toys that use other ways to supply mechanical stimulation. These usually be determined by a motor which makes the masturbator continually change its shape which gives sort of rotational movement or makes it move back and forth. The back and forth movements are sometimes 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 provide a guy a ‘blow job’.
On a bigger scale plus much more expensive, there are ‘sex machines’ that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.
Combination Sex Toys
So far we have covered vibrating, moving and thrusting adult toys. Because you can have guessed they are all offered in a bewildering selection 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 aswell.
Many sex toys add varying textures to their surfaces; a dildo or vibrator may have ridges or soft spikes or perhaps a rippled shape.
Sensation Change Sex Toys
Some sex toys rather than provide vibrating or moving stimulation, change the feel of sex.
For instance there are a variety of sleeves to put on the penis to provide different sensations for both partners while engaged in penetrative sex.
You can find rings that squeeze the base of the penis and/or tighten the scrotum that assist the man’s erection and in addition changes his sensations. There are penis extenders and thickeners which might give a man’s partner greater sensations during penetration.

There are PVC and Polyurethane bed linens that are water and oil proof that can be used for slippery or messy sex.
Why Use A MASTURBATOR?
A good 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, apart from therapeutic uses (eg erection assistance), sex toys can drive the imagination (being taken by a machine), provide variety (new methods to do old things), vary the stimulating effects in otherwise normal sex (penis sleeves) and some can provide experiences not possible with ‘normal body parts’ (particularly vibrating adult toys and electro-stimulation).
Where To Start
When you have not tried a sex toy before and don’t yet have a good idea of what you might like, try one of many simpler vibrators first. Most probably you will enjoy the experience and then start to wonder what other delights are available with more sophisticated vibrators along with other sex toys …
