How to Clean Gay Sex Toys

Gay sex toys can be a great addition to our sexual bag of tricks.  Expandable butt plugs is one of the great example of gay sex toys. They can be keys to great sexual experiences for gay and heterosexual men.  These toys despite the gay label attached to them are sex toys meant for the use of men after all.

While gay sex toys can indeed bring your sexual experiences to the next level,  steps have to be taken such as cleaning the toy and keeping it clean, that have to be done so that the experience with sex toys remains a pleasurable one and not one which can adversely affect our health.

Sex toys, by the nature of their use are exposed to environments rich in biological organisms, not all of which are benign.  An unclean sex toy is not only disgusting, but it can become a hot bed and a breeding ground for dangerous microorganisms which can cause embarrassing and serious health problems.  Moreover, if you share your toy with your partner, you risk transmitting these microorganisms to him or her. Here are some tips on how to clean your sex toy.

The way one cleans a sex toy depends on the material it is made of.  Some materials tolerate certain cleaning agents better than others.  This information is usually found on the box or packaging that came with your sex toy.  If it is no longer possible to get this information, most sex toys can be cleaned with warm water and antibacterial hand soap.

There are gay sex toys which vibrate like electric vibrators and require electricity or batteries to work.  Before cleaning them, make sure you take out the batteries or unplug the toy from the wall socket.  Moreover, avoid getting the parts of the toy which contain the battery compartment or motor wet.  One should never soak a battery operated toy in water or any other cleaning agent as this will damage its electrical circuits or can cause an electrical short when turning the toy on.

Sex toys made of plastic or glass can be boiled briefly to sterilize them and then wiped down with alcohol for disinfection.  Rubber or jelly toys or simply jelly vibes on the other hand should be cleaned with warm water and antibacterial soap.

Make sure your toys are thoroughly dry before putting them away.  Storing a damp sex toy in your closet or some other dark place could encourage the growth fungus which could cause irritation in very inconvenient places.

How to Take Care of your Adult Sex Toy

An adult sex toy just like any other possession we may have has to be properly cared for so that it will last and continue to function properly.  Here are some things you can do to ensure that your sex toy lasts longer.

One of the keys to good adult sex toy maintenance is sex toy hygiene.  It is critical that one cleans one’s sex toy before and after use.  An unclean sex toy is not only a major turn-off, it is also a hot bed for breeding microorganisms which may be hazardous to the health once exposed to it.

How to properly clean your sex toy largely depends on the type of material it is made of.  This information can be found in the packaging your sex toy came in.  If this is no longer available, sex toys made of most materials can be cleaned with warm water and antibacterial hand soap.  Toys made of porous materials such as jelly vibes, rubber, and cyberskin have to be air dried thoroughly before storing.  Toys made of glass or plastic can be wiped dry with a lint free cloth.

The kind of lubricant you use for your sex toys is also a factor in taking good care of your sex toy.  Some petroleum based lubricants may not react well with the compounds of certain sex toys and may degrade the material.  While these kinds of lubricants may work well enough for toys made of glass like glass pleasure balls, a water based lubricant is your safest bet when using sex toys made of other materials.

If your toy is battery operated or powered by electricity, make sure you do not completely submerge the toy in any liquid nor allow the parts which contain the motor and electronic components to get wet.  Water or liquid may damage these parts beyond repair.

Make sure too that you take the batteries out of your electric vibrators before storing it.  Used batteries may leak over time when they are left unused for an extended period.  Leaking batteries do not only make an awful mess but can damage your sex toy or cause irritation in inconvenient places should you attempt to use your sex toy in spite of the damage.

Advice on adult sex toys (myths)

For many of us, our closest experience with adult sex toys has been to watch their use on adult films.  One of the most popular adult film is the sixteen. While the actors using them look like they are having a good time using them, we scarcely give a thought about using them ourselves or trying them out.

One of the reasons we may have not thought about using adult sex toys is because of the many misconceptions about them and their use.  Here are some of the more popular myths about adult sex toys and the truth behind them.

Myth:  Sex toys are for people who do not have a healthy sex or social life

While sex toys and electric vibrators can and do provide a safe alternative to sex with multiple partners, sex toys are used by people and couples who want to spice up their sex lives or try something different.  Sex toy usage in fact is quite common with research showing that people who have sex use adult sex toys more than those who do not have sex.

Myth: Sex toys are only for masturbation

A popular misconception is that adult sex toys are mainly used for self gratification.  The ubiquitous presence of the vibrator and the dildo in adult films may have something to do with this misconception.  The truth is that sex toys are not limited to dildos or vibrators.  Sex toys also include adult novelties such as edible underwear, feathers, costumes and other props which can be used in playing out fantasy scenarios.

Myth:  There is no place for sex toys in a healthy sexual relationship

This is not true.  In fact adult sex toys and novelties do help in creating and nurturing a healthy sexual relationship between two loving people.  It provides something different to reignite a waning sex life and it also provides a way in which two people can deepen their intimacy by playing out and fulfilling their sexual fantasies.

Myth:  Buying sex toys can be an embarrassing experience

One can acquire jelly vibrators, sex toys and adult novelties online and in the privacy of one’s own home if one feels too embarrassed to browse through the selection of an adult novelty store.  Products ordered from reputable website are delivered right to one’s home wrapped in discrete brown paper so that others do not have an idea on what is being delivered.

How to take care of your dildo

Let’s talk about the most ubiquitous of all “woman” sex toys—the dildo.  Realistic vibrating dildos are phallus-shaped sex toys meant for penetration into the vagina or the rectum.  These toys have been around for centuries and have changed little in purpose and shape except in the types of materials they used.  In times past, dildos could be made of polished wood, stone, marble, or glass.  Nowadays synthetic materials such as plastics, silicone and even materials which feel like real skin have been used in making these sex toys.  These sex toys now also contain small motors which allow the toy to vibrate for that extra “buzz”.

No matter the type of materials they are made of or whether they vibrate or not, they all require care in order to allow them to perform the function for which they were designed properly and safely.  Here are some tips you can use to take care of your dildo.

No matter the type of dildo you have, you will have to keep it clean.  This is not only a thing one has to do in order to make sure your toy remains in good working order but it is also a measure you should undertake to avoid contracting disease or infection.  A dildo is meant to be inserted into the vagina or the anus.  These parts of the body often do contain microorganisms and bacteria which can be harmful to people.

How you clean your toy depends on the type of material it is made of.  For most cases, washing your toy with warm soap and water will do the trick.  Wash your toy every time after you use it.  If your toy has batteries or contains a small motor, make sure you take off the batteries first and do not allow the battery compartment or the part with the remote vibrator motor to get wet.  Never submerge a toy which runs on batteries or electricity.

There are commercially prepared sex toy cleaners available in the market.  Keep in mind however that some cleaners which can be oil-based can damage the surface of some toys made of plastic or silicone.  It would be a safe bet to get something water-based in order to minimize your chances of damaging the toy.

Never keep used batteries inside your toy for extended periods of time.  If you do not plan to use your dildo for an extended duration, make sure you remove the batteries before you put your toy away.

Follow these tips to ensure your toy keeps on giving you the sexual satisfaction you need for a long time.

How to Introduce Male Anal Sex Toys to Him

Many men, and even some women, think that anal play is nasty. It is nasty but if you follow hygiene and safety tips for anal play then there should be no problem. Men can find anal stimulation to be exciting primarily because the male g-spot is located in the anus, specifically on the front wall that touches the prostate gland. This part rivals the glans in being the most erotically sensitive male spot. But the sensations are different. Anyway, stimulation of the male g-spot can be through the use of male anal sex toys or jelly vibes.

But a lot of men are not too receptive about anal stimulation since it is associated with gay sex. Heterosexual men fear that if they buy anal toys in an adult toy shop, they may be branded gay. But this is slowly becoming an old fear. Most guys are slowly understanding their bodies and learning that their anus is one erogenous zone. If you don’t know, the anus is a very sensitive spot capable of taking sex to the next level.

Then again the butthole is a delicate region. There are a lot of toys in the market made for anal stimulation and guys can use any of these recommended toys for their own exploration—only after learning much about proper way of stimulating the anus. A bomb butt plugs, anal beads, and prostate massagers are great male anal sex toys that can deliver amazing sensations only when used in the appropriate way.

A good way to introduce your boyfriend to anal stimulation using toys is to first use a finger or two. You better do this while you are giving him a hand-job or a fellatio, with a lubed finger massaging the area around his anus and then slowly inserting it in the anus. Only make sure that you have trimmed your fingernails or he might shriek in pain and you don’t want that to happen during an intimate anal moment. If you can non-verbally make your guy understand how pleasurable it is to play with his anus, then convincing him to explore more using anal toys will not become a tough business.

You can introduce vibrators, anal beads and butt plugs, anything that is known as an anal toy. Do not use just any kind of rod which is never recommended for anal insertion. Normally toys for the butthole have wide base or a handle that does not allow them to get too deep into the rectum and supports easy retrieval. Recommended male anal sex toys are available at reputable shops online.

How to Give Her a Big Dildo Treat

Couples have been experimenting with wild things lately. Some couples use the tonguer vibes to have a great oral adventure. It’s not surprising to see people becoming more aware of their bodies and investing in things that can make them know themselves more intimately. But what can a big dildo do?

Men and women are becoming more fascinated with size. Some say it matters, others say it doesn’t. It seems big dildos are here for a reason. Some women fancy long and thick shafts, and if they could not get it from their men, they get it from something else. This is perhaps the reason sex toy manufacturers made enormous artificial dongs.

Some men like these big daddies, too, but not in the way you think. They want to surprise their girlfriends or wives with one amazingly large cock and balls, and the ladies just gasp. But if she is giving you that “are you really gonna shove that into my precious little holies” kind of look, don’t scare her and insist.

She needs a little caressing this time. Some women are not too receptive to that big dingy. Some may run away after seeing a foot long.

Don’t frighten her; instead, make her feel comfortable, especially if this is the first time she’s seeing a big dildo or big vibrators. Huge dongs can be fun if you know how to deal with them. You don’t have to instantly push it into her vagina. You can use it to tickle her womanhood until the useful juices start to signal her readiness. Of course, grab a bottle of lube because you’ll be needing a lot.

Cock and balls are necessary during moments when you can’t perform right. That naughty toy is going to give you both an intimate affair without sweating much. Maybe you had a stress-packed day and can’t please her like she wishes to. Then, give her a treat she won’t forget.

When she’s totally turned on, you can begin slipping the thingy into her tight door, which by now should allow the entrance of the awesome almighty. Do it gently and watch for signs of discomfort. Please do her a favor of not pushing past the cervix because that’s already illegal. Stop on a depth where going further causes her to twinge. If you’re unsure, well, then ask her.

Step up the fun later when she’s getting too comfy and bored, by doing different styles. Turn it around slowly, turn it around fast, thrust it and pull it fast, and while you are doing all these, tickle her other sweet spots instead of leaving them unattended.

Clean that big dildo after all the dirty stuff you do. Be sure to have your vibe kits to use for your dildo.

Delightful Tips on Men’s Sex Toys

You might have heard a lot about vibrators and all those sex aids for ladies, but men want to have their share of fun too. As you may have read, men are more sexually inclined than women are. So it’s not surprising for men to find themselves caressing their precious endowment time after time. It’s basic human nature—male nature. Manufacturers of sex toys want to aid men in their solo flicks and so have come up with a few items that could further their solo thrill. Men’s sex toys are just as popular as vibrators and they come in varieties.

  • Men who want to keep harder erections longer should invest in penis rings, which are rather cheap devices, small enough to be carried anywhere. They come in various colors and designs and their main function is to keep the blood in the shaft to prevent premature loss of erection during intercourse.
  • Vibrators may not seem fit to be men’s sex toys but they can. If these toys can stimulate her erogenous zones then they can also tease his sensitive spots too. A man can borrow his lover’s vibe and put it against his hardness to enjoy vibrations. Since you may not dare use a penile shaped vibrator, there are vibrators designed for neutral sex. Essentially, any toy that vibrates is classified as a vibrator, so a vibrating penile and vibrating bullets are one—basically a cock ring with an attached vibrating bullet that can either stimulate the scrotum or the woman’s clitoris during sex.
  • If you want to explore how to lengthen your dong by a few centimeters, then a penile pump is the way to go. However, they have somehow lost a lot of reputation regarding the lengthening factor because the advantages were extremely feeble. But any male user can enjoy the sheer sensation of the vacuum suction action. Some units actually come with vibration mechanism that brings joy to a different level.
  • Most men want toys that make their solo moments so pleasurable. If you are one of them, you need a big man masturbator and there are a lot of masturbators in the market. A simple penile sleeve does wonders of giving men a different sensation neither the right nor the left palm could imitate. Masturbators also come as Fleshlights, pocket pussies, and Tenga masturbators. These men’s sex toys equal women’s rabbits.

Unique foreplay ideas

Tired of the same old thing when it comes to sex?  A little effort and creativity can go a long way in coming up with unique foreplay ideas that are sure to rock his or her world tonight.  Here are some ideas you can try out.

Before anything, keep in mind that foreplay is not limited to the physical stimulation of your partner’s erogenous zones.  There are non-physical techniques one can try out for a change from the usual.  These non-physical techniques include naughty games, playing with fun vibes, verbal play and fantasy fulfillment or role playing.

There are a hundred ways to skin a cat and the same goes with foreplay.  Only your imagination and the effort you choose to put to it will be the factors that can limit the possibilities to unique foreplay.  One thing you can try out is to turn foreplay into a game.  Strip poker and strip blackjack are games that come to mind right away.  One can also play these games for “foreplay vouchers” in which the stakes are pieces of paper which contain physical foreplay techniques.  For instance, a “voucher” could allow the holder to receive oral sex from his or her partner.

Are you a stingy lover? Don’t be especially when it comes to telling your special someone how pretty or how aroused they make you feel.  Verbal foreplay appeals to the mental side of sex.  this is different from playing with favorite vibrators.  This particular aspect of sex is often neglected by people, especially males.  What one should know is that one’s mental state plays a great role in generating and deepening sexual arousal.  Get your partner ready for sex by whispering to your loved one how you’d like to get it on with her or that she or he turns you on so much that you feel like ripping his or her clothes off right there and then.  Does your partner like to talk dirty? Try doing it during your intimate sessions and you might find yourself enjoying it too.

Sexual fantasies also address the mental aspect of sex.  Partners can agree to play out a scenario they have sexual fantasies about and role play to help them get in the mood faster and to deepen their sexual arousal.  Some scenarios partner’s can try are the doctor-patient and bar pick-up scenarios.  Sexual fantasies are not limited to scenarios either.  Your partner’s or your sexual fantasy may involve employing a particular foreplay technique or the use of jelly vibrators, sex toys and adult novelties.

These are just some ideas you can use for a unique sexual experience.  Have fun!

Sex Toys UK

Some countries do not allow sex toys. UK residents, Japanese citizens and other countries, on the other hand have it better as the existence of sex toys and fun vibes are tolerated and sold very openly.

This is particularly true in Japan.  The sex toy industry in that country is a booming business with a range of products that will boggle the mind.  There are vending machines available on the streets which dispense anything from a tiny scantily clad anime-based figure to cock rings and vibrators.

India, on the other hand has outlawed and banned sex toys.  This factoid becomes remarkable when you remember that the oldest and most popular sex manual, the Kama Sutra, was written in and written by Indians.  Sex toys are mentioned in the Kama Sutra as there are references to realistic vibrating dildos and life-size wooden dolls used during sex.  Despite the ban, sex toys are sold underground and seems to be a thriving industry estimated to value at about $107 million a year.

Even in the United States not all states allow the purchase or selling of sex toys.  Some southern states such as Alabama and Texas have banned and prohibited sex toys which are considered “obscene devices”.  Besides Alabama and Texas, Mississippi, Georgia and Virginia also have laws which for not allow sex toys in their state.   The reasoning behind these pieces of legislation seems to be that the state has the right to regulate these devices as there is no fundamental right for a person to buy a device to produce orgasm.  Advocates of sex toys on the other hand have argued that interference by the State on the use of these devices violates the constitutional right to privacy.

This also is astonishing since the US has projected itself as a bastion of freedom.  In these States, it is legal for one person to purchase a gun and illegal to purchase sex toys.  UK residents, Japanese citizens and other countries seem to enjoy a greater amount of freedom as regards this aspect.

The National Association for Sexual Awareness and Empowerment, a US based organization advocating the freedom to distribute and sell sex toys state that the ban on these devices stems from the ignorance of law makers on hot to use sex toys and vibrators, their effects, and stereotypes.  The NSAE continues to work towards lifting the ban on sexual devices in these states.
