Understanding the Types of Sex Lubricants

Sex lubricants are very important to comfortable intercourse and adult toy play. This is because the lubricants help with what your body is supposed to do naturally.  In fact, did you know that lack of lubrication is the top reason that condoms break? As you can see, it’s a safety issue as well.

The good news is that there are a wide range of personal and sexual lubricants available on the market so it’s possible for you to find the right ones for your needs. First you just need to know a little about the different types and what they are for.

Here are the basic types of sex lubricants:

  • Water based
  • Oil based
  • Silicone based
  • Specialty lubricants
  • Anal lubricants

The names basically explain what they are but here is an additional overview. Water based lubricants are the most commonly available in stores and shops. They are water-soluble and absorb into the skin. This also means that they can dry out the skin when used often. They can sometimes dry out during use but adding more water or lubricant can re-activate them. Water based lubricants cannot be used in the water as they would dissolve or disperse.

Then there are oil-based lubricants which also have their pros and cons. Oil based lubricants were created due to a need by women who complained about irritation and dryness from water based lubricants. These do not contain the drying agent, glycerin and many are made from organic materials.

Silicone lubricants are unique from the other types out there and will not absorb into the skin. They remain on the skin, giving a better glide and slide sensation and experience. However, not all of them are designed for safety with condoms so you should look out for this. They are also not recommended for silicone-based sex toys so watch for this as well.

Specialty lubricants include those with flavors for oral sex or warming agents to help stimulate the sexual parts. Some increase blood flow to the area which can heighten the sensations of arousal. Then of course, anal specific lubricants are made for anal sex or anal play. They are usually thicker and more like a gel than a liquid. Some of them will also contain a numbing agent to make anal play more comfortable.

Just remember if there is a numbing agent in the gel that it will numb every body part it comes into contact with. Knowing and understanding the types of sex lubricants will help you choose the right one for you and your specific needs.

Now the U Spot

September 18, 2009 By Angelica Leave a Comment
The U Spot

The U Spot

You have heard or read about the g spot being the most sensitive region of men and women. The human genitalia are composed of parts that teem with nerve endings. Thus, it is not surprising if you find stimulating these regions arousing. It’s just your nervous system reacting.

You might have found out that the clitoris and g spots are sensitive spots that enjoy stimulation. Now there is this talk about the

Find The U Spot

Find The U Spot

Compare your body to an urban zone where there’s disco pubs, clubs, restaurants, and bars. Then the U spot is like the hottest place in town everyone needs to get themselves at.

This spot is another very sensitive zone that when it receive enough stimulation, causes supreme sensations. If this is the first time that you have read about this, then go on reading and learn.

Studies in the United States found out that the potentially erotic spot is near the urethra. The urethra, in case you completely forgot the lessons in anatomy, is the hole where your pee comes out during urination.

It’s found between the vagina and clitoris.

Stimulation of this area aids in increased arousal in women. There are a lot of ways to tease this region. Fingers, tongues,dildos such as glass dildos, or the glans may be used to tickle the spot. Stimulating the area may be done alone for self exploration or you can do some exploration with your partner.

Lubricants

For best results, make sure that you use a lubricant when stimulating the vulva.

Experts say that the U spot is the region above and along either sides of the urethra. In these regions, one finds an erectile tissue that is sensitive to touch.

An erectile tissue engorges and becomes firm with erotic stimulation. Do not worry if you aren’t successful during your first try.

A good tip during lovemaking is to open your thighs widely and let your partner grind his pelvis against yours for superb contact. Through this, you have better chances at getting the area well stimulated.

Having Fun with Rabbits for the First Time

August 14, 2009 By Angelica Leave a Comment

There is always the first time to have fun with sex toys, and if you new to sex toys, better read this, this article is for you. If you have been feeling the nerves upon your first time as a sex toy user, it’s ok. Getting started can be both fun and nerve wracking at the same time.

The first thing you need to know is how the vibe rabbit works. You cannot be stuck with wild ideas at random. Familiarize the parts of the object and how ach part works. This should be easy. If there is something you are not sure of, take the object to the dealer and ask questions there.

Learn that rabbits have two basic parts – the shaft and the rabbit ears. The shaft looks like a real penis or at least it resembles the shape of a penis. This portion is what you place inside your vagina. I guess every woman knows this by mere looking at the object. The rabbit ears, on the other hand, work to tickle the clitoris. This object has been designed to stimulate the vagina and the clitoris at the same time, because most women do not find orgasm quite sensuously awesome without clitoral stimulation.

One thing that must not be forgotten is to lube up. You cannot just insert the body of the rabbit vibe into your glory holy without applying a lubricant. Lubrication aids in easier thrust with no pain and discomfort. It also enhances sensations, so your vibe feels more intense with the lube than without.

Sometimes you may not fancy getting the shaft into your vagina. This time, just turn your vibe around and place the ears right on top of your clitoris.

Try holding your vibe rabbit at different angles so you get different kind of sensations. Rabbits are also designed to have multi speed functions. Explore yourself through the different functions so you get the difference between one speed function to another. As when you go through different angles and speeds of stimulation, find out the best position and speed for you. Then you can get through the kind of fun again the next time your rabbit touches your lovely zones.

Tenga is an optimum brand of masturbation toy from Japan. Probably the most popular of the Tenga sex toy range is the Tenga Flip Hole. These are a brand of artificial vagina used for masturbation. They come in a “cup” type object with many different models and features. Each model has a different feature or sensation that it offers to the user.

This popularity would later spread to other countries as well. Most Tenga products are designed to be one-use, disposable items. They are called “single use masturbators” and they are basically molded elastomer with lubricant inside. They even have a warming device. This limited edition “warming stick” lasts for about 30 uses and can be activated and inserted into the onacup to warm it to body temperature.

Taking Good Care of Your Fleshlight

July 16, 2009 By John Leave a Comment
Fleshlight

Fleshlight

A Fleshlight is a man’s best friend, and the sensations provided certainly feel almost like the real thing, and most is definitely so much better than the palm and her little sisters. All men who own a Fleshlight or two agree that it’s the best substitute for sexual intercourse, especially if the partner is absent, and using this toy lets you enjoy superb solo encounters like nothing else can.

But just like your lady, your Fleshlight deserves and needs tender love and care. Caring for your things such as this one aids in prolonging their life. Who knows it can even last for a lifetime.

When you use your Fleshlight, all sorts of dirt come in contact with it. Dead skin cells, sweat, and semen are some. And if you don’t clean up your toy, it will become a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. You might then be wondering why it smells awful.

Just as you wouldn’t want to have sex with a dirty, smelly woman, you certainly won’t enjoy using an ugly and foul-smelling masturbator. But you can easily prevent this from happening.

Steps to Cleaning you Fleshlight

  1. When you’re done with your Fleshlight encounter, take out the gel insert and run hot water through the opening to remove semen residue. Then squeeze or shake the excess water out.
  2. Towel dry or air dry the material to liberate moisture that may cause molds to thrive inside the toy. Notice that the gel insert feels a little sticky after washing. This is normal.
    Tip: Use cornstarch powder to bring back the smooth, silky feeling.
  3. After cleaning the gel insert, place it back into the canister. Store the toy clean, dry and dust-free area.

Be aware that soap and detergent will degrade the surface of the insert. This results in a nasty and shabby feeling. Do not share Fleshlights because these toys are never manufactured for multiple person use. Your Fleshlight is only for your own use, not for others. This will also prevent you from contracting sexually transmitted infection and parasites.

When using this incredible masturbator, do not forget to lubricate its interior and your penis as well. Using a good lube such as Super Slik Lube maximizes sensation and prevents friction that deteriorates the material.

Taking Sex Toys Abroad

July 7, 2009 By John Leave a Comment

Toys for the Holiday Trips

Airport security scanners

You might be wanting to take your sex toys with you when you travel, but often this is just not possible, especially with the strict security policy in airports. Your toys could just catch the guards attention or worse the metal detectors. Imagine how awful it could be if the detectors find a large and “weapon-shaped” vibrator in your luggage. You will get some nasty, unwanted public attention at an instant.

These tips will help ensure this does not happen to you.

1.    Make sure you are bringing toys that look quite innocent. A lipstick vibe can be great and you can stuff this one with your cosmetic collection. Opt for smaller sex toys this time.

2.    Follow airport policy on keeping liquids in your luggage. Lubricating oils should be placed in plastic bottles. Make sure you only fill three-quarters of the bottle to lessen the tendency of spillage or leakage in case freezing temperatures occur in the luggage compartment. Place them in plastic bags.  You can also try bringing along sachets of different lubricant lotions or creams, instead of stuffing your bags with large bottles of them. It’s not like you will be gone for quite a long time anyway. This saves space and effort.
3.    You might think of placing your favorite battery-operated sex toy inside your baggage. Should you do this, make sure to place the batteries in isolation. The best way is to secure them between clothes or inside socks. Stacking them in the battery case of your vibrator might lead to leakage and discharge of battery power.
4.    Worry not if the guard sees a naughty vibe lying quietly in the pile of your clothes (in case you have failed to resist the urge of bringing one). You have all the right in the world to bring your nicest gear even if it looks like something that hangs in the middle of men’s thighs. There is no law, so far, than prohibits the carrying or handling or sex toys in any airport. Have you heard of somebody who has been detained for illegal possession of sex toys?

Bear in mind, as well, that you are travelling to see new places. Playing with your sex toys may only be done privately during free hours, and since you will not have plenty of time for bedtime adventure, bring only few toys with you.

Masturbation Toys For Men

June 29, 2009 By John Leave a Comment

A guide to masturbation toys for men

Tenga Deep Throat Fleshlight Masturbator

Long gone are the days when masturbation was considered taboo. Today products are specifically designed as aids for masturbation such as  vibrators, fleshlights and love dolls, abound to make masturbation a more realistic and pleasurable experience.  This springs from the fact that solo sex sessions are now seen as not only a common occurrence that aids in the sexual and mental well being of a person but also as a healthy safe sex alternative.

As men who have been exposed to pornography at least once in our lives we may have a passing familiarity with women oriented sex toys.  Examples of these are the jelly vibrator and the dildo.  What we may not be a common known fact (unless you habitually hang around adult novelty stores and sex shops) is that there are sex toys designed and meant for use by men.

A common and popular sex toy meant for men is the artificial vagina.  These are sex toys which are aimed at making male masturbation as pleasurable and as close to the real sexual intercourse as possible.  There are several types of artificial vaginas available.  One such type of artificial vagina are fleshlights. Shaped like a flashlight, they contains an inner lining made of skin like material molded inside and out to look and feel like a real vagina.

There are other types of artificial vaginas which aim to not only add a degree of realism to masturbation but seek to enhance the sensations felt during the act.  These models vibrate, contain vibrating pellets or are designed with a pump to simulate the feeling of the penis being sucked.  There are even models which contain and give off their own lubricant.

For those not content with masturbating with just a replica of the female genitals, love dolls can provide another option for enhanced self exploration.  Types available range from cheap air inflated dolls with orifices in the mouth and/ or genitals to realistic looking ones made of silicone or other skin like material.  There are even love dolls made in the shape of animals such as pigs, goats, and sheep but these are primarily meant as humorous gifts and are not expected to be actually used.

The more expensive models are articulated, can contain a motor for pelvic thrusts or have their own audio to help create a more realistic experience.

Male Dildo

Another device which can be used for masturbation, albeit through a different route, is a male dildo. These dildos are designed and shaped to be inserted into the anus and stimulate the nerve endings  found around the anal cavity.  Though a lot of heterosexual men would cringe at the thought of having something inserted into their rectum, these devices are meant to stimulate the prostate which reportedly can give rise to intense orgasm and ejaculation.

These are just a few samples of the types of sex toys available for men.  A visit to the nearest adult novelty store can yield more finds to make safe sex more enjoyable.

Vibrators – Take Good Care Of Yours

January 27, 2009 By John Leave a Comment

Sex toys can be great fun but if you want your adult toys to last, you need to take proper care of them. Vibrators are top of the list being one of the most popular types of adult toys or masturbation aids out there. You must take proper care of your vibrator if you want it to keep working well for you.

One of the first steps to proper care of vibrators is to always keep enough lubricant around. Now what type of lube to use is also important. You can use water-based lubricant with any type of toy except a waterproof one. You should avoid silicone based lube on silicone vibrators or it can damage them and petroleum based lube can be used only on non latex sex toys and is suggested only for anal vibrators because the main ingredient can be uncomfortable to the vagina.

The next most important thing you can do for your vibrator is to keep it clean. This is for your own health and also for the sake of your vibrators. They will last much longer when they are cleaned regularly and cared for properly. The cleaning method usually depends on the type of material the vibrator is made from.

Silicone vibrators should be cleaned with toy cleaner or with soap and warm water. Cyberskin or other lifelike materials should be cleaned with sex toy cleaner and warm water. Jelly rubber toys can be cleaned with warm water and some cleaning solution. Elastomer toys can be cleaned only with water and soap and glass, acrylic or plastic toys need to be cleaned with an anti-bacterial toy cleaner on a washcloth. If this is not available, you can use basic rubbing alcohol.

You should always store your vibrators in a cool, dry place and that you use a condom when sharing your vibrator or when using it in different orifices of the body. You should also be cautious of using your vibrator too long at a session at too high of a speed. You won’t get hurt but you could burn out the motor on your favorite vibrator.

For the best, longest fun, you should start each session with new fresh batteries or purchase rechargeable vibrators so you never have to worry about batteries. These have an added bonus of being better for the environment. You should also remove the batteries after each use and reinsert batteries on the next use.
