When one acquires a sex toy for the first time, most manufacturers assume you know what to do with the toy and how to use it. How do we come to this conclusion? There is usually no instruction manual that comes with the darn thing. Some tips on how to use sex toys are clearly needed.
One could argue that sex is the one of the most basic of human urges and is instinctive. One would retort that the sheer number of people seeking advice about sex belies this statement. It would be reasonable to say that there instinct does play a part in sex but that does not mean we should not seek instruction on how to make the experience better. The same could be said on how to use sex toys. Upon looking any sex toy—whether for solo use or sex toys for couples, we may instinctively know how it could turn us on but nothing should stop us from learning more to make the most out of the experience.
If your sex toy is a type of vibrator, then it most likely requires power. Most models allow rechargeable batteries to be used while others have to be plugged into power before it functions. A vibrating sex toy with batteries has the advantage of doing away with having to deal with a cord during play time. Just make sure your batteries are fully charged otherwise your happy time could come to a frustrating and abrupt end.
Sex toys such as butt plugs, dildos and dongs are designed to stimulate the user by penetration either in the vaginal or anal opening. However, just as with regular sexual intercourse, the use of these sex toys without adequate lubrication could be an uncomfortable experience at the least.
Moreover, lack of lubrication could increase the risk of injuries and wounds due to friction especially to the sensitive tissues in the anus and the rectum. The natural body fluids excreted by the genitals during an advanced state of arousal are often not enough to provide a comfortable amount of lubrication. This is because the materials some sex toys are made of more often than not absorb these fluids. Luckily for us there are commercially available personal lubricants available which are safe for use with sex toys. So before play time, make sure you lube up.
If you and your partner like to play in the shower, make sure the type of sex toy you get is one that is waterproof to avoid damaging the toy or injury. Moreover, even if you are the only one who uses you sex toy, it would be a wise move to keep it clean. This should be done in order to avoid the transmission of infections and sexually transmitted disease.
