Buying your first Sex Toy
(NewDesignWorld Press Release Center) - January 2, 2009, Austin, TX
Are you intrigued by sex toys but don't know where to start? Feel intimidated by the hundreds of brands, styles and colors? Relax! We’ve compiled a few simple tips that will give you the confidence you need to buy the perfect adult toy.
The first rule of sex toy shopping:
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
If you find a sex product at a next-to-nothing price you'll most likely be getting next-to-nothing quality as well. If possible, find out where your product was manufactured because it does make a difference.
For instance, would you rather buy a high-performance sports car from China or Germany? The same applies to your sex toy.
Ask your salesperson what their favorite brands are.
It's far safer to spend a little more on erotic products from companies with a reputation for quality. Products from Tantus, Vibratex, Fun Factory, and Evolved are well-known for their durability and high-tech designs.
And, don’t just rely on product information from the packaging. Other than common lines like “hot” and “sexy” you generally won’t find more than a photo of a porn-goddess in the throes of fake orgasm. By and large, the United States have very strict laws concerning how erotica can be marketed so manufacturers are forced to keep the descriptive text on packaging purposely vague.
If you really want to know how a product works and can’t find out through friends and word-of-mouth then it’s best to ask the people you’re purchasing it from. If it's a reputable company they'll be happy to educate you.
KNOW THYSELF!
Your best girlfriend may achieve multiple orgasms with the help of her G-spot vibe but if you primarily rely on your clitoris for stimulation this same toy might not do much for you. What gives you pleasure is a completely subjective to your personal prefrences.
What kind of stimulation you enjoy during sex or masturbation? Do you like to be penetrated? Do you prefer oral sex with a light touch, or heavy, fast pressure with a finger? Isolating what feels good to you will help you make the right decision.
Still don't know what turns you on? Small vibrators like a classic silver bullet can be used internally or externally. Plus, they're a cheap and handy way to experiment with vibration on any and every part of your body.
Here are the 4 most common styles of sex toys and the sexual types that would most enjoy them:
CLASSIC VIBES:
Classic vibrators are "missile" shaped and can either be perfectly smooth or can look exactly like a real penis. These sex toys are designed to penetrate the vagina and simulate the real feel of intercourse. That is, intercourse with vibration. Do you love the sensation of being penetrated by a penis or finger during sex? If the answer is "Yes", you can't go wrong with a classic vibrator.
CLITORAL STIMULATORS:
If you need to have your clitoris pleasured during masturbation or sex you will want an external or clitoral massager. Despite the fact that most sex toys are designed to penetrate the vagina it’s estimated that over 80% of all women require direct or indirect clitoral stimulation to reach their orgasmic plateau.
Classic vibrators may be used externally but more powerful, wand-style vibrators like the “Miracle Massager" or the "Hitachi Magic Wand" are more effective for clitoral pleasure.
G-SPOT SEX TOYS:
These toys can look similar to classic vibrators. The only difference is a curved end specially designed to target the G-spot. The G or the "Grafenburg Spot" is a small mass of nerve tissue located about 1-2 inches inside the vaginal opening. It is located about halfway between the back of the pubic bone and the top of the cervix.
COMBO OR "RABBIT" VIBRATORS:
You can cover all your bases with a combination vibrator! If you enjoy clit stimulation while you’re being penetrated than you will absolutely love a Japanese or “Jack Rabbit” style toy. These products feature an rotating head for vaginal pleasure and a vibrating clitoral attachment that vibrates independantly.
