Why Everyone Needs at Least ONE Sex Toy

When you think of sex toy does your mind immediately picture a dildo or a vibrator? Those are great toys (as I plug another one into to charge), but there are so many more sex toys out there to try. Male masturbators, anal plugs, cock rings, floggers, blindfolds - they’re all out there waiting for people to try them out. Men, women, kinky, vanilla, everyone needs at least one sex toy in their life.

Why Everyone Needs at Least ONE Sex Toy

Ever wonder about your sexual desires?

When you play with sex toys or find your one perfect toy, you’ll have a better idea of what gives you sexual pleasure. Sure, we can all use our hands to get off, and it can be a simple way to orgasm, but a toy lets you feel new sensations. Vibrators heighten pleasure, often quicker than your fingers can. Dildos give you that “full” feeling in just about any orifice. Male masturbaters offer sensations in a way a man’s palm never will. Floggers, whips, and paddles pair pleasure with pain for those of us who like that kind of thing. After playing with a sex toy, you’ll have different ways to experience your sexual desires and new ways of getting off.

Want to experience more pleasure and orgasms?

Some people find it difficult to orgasm through penetrative sex or stimulation with their hand. Once you find the sex toy that matches what you want to feel and what gets you off, more orgasms and pure sexual pleasure will follow. The sex toy industry makes over $15 billion in revenue a year and Amazon alone sells 60,000 toys. That doesn’t include the countless online and physical adult stores out there waiting to help you find the perfect toy. Finding a good sex toy is a lot like dating. You’ve got to weed through a lot of duds to find a keeper, but when you find the right one dreams come true.

Tips for better sleep:

I’m a big advocate of masturbation and getting as many orgasms as you want to have for a lot of reasons. One of them is that when you have an orgasm or two (or more, for my multi-orgasmic friends out there), you are much more relaxed and sleep better. A sex toy breaks up the monotony of the same old wank you might do before you do to bed. If you go with a high-powered toy that practically rips the orgasms out of you (Original Magic Wand, I’m looking at you), you’ll practically pass out in exhaustion when you’re done.

Ahoy! Sexy adventures await:

There’s a reason most of us with more than one sex toy say we have toy boxes and toy chests. Playing with sex toys is the NC-17, grown-up way to be a kid again. Playing with the toys we love most. But does anyone remember when you’d come across a new toy and get to try it out or decide to play with an old toy in a completely new way? It was an adventure! Sex toys work the same way. Think you might have some kinky desires? Buy a sex toy and try it out. Saw a toy that just looks fun and interesting, even though you don’t know what it does? Add it to your toy box! Sex toys let you experiment and find what you enjoy in a new way. The best part, if you don’t get off, it’s no one’s fault. You’re not blaming your partner or yourself. That particular sex toy didn’t work for you.

Everything is up for grabs!

Anything that you add to your sexual play can be a toy. When you grab a wooden spoon and spank your partner, that’s a sex toy. Blindfolds and silk scarves are sex toys. Once you’ve tried one thing - like that vibrating cock ring - it becomes easier to try new things. It becomes easier to find sex toys in your everyday life. Ultimately, sex toys are about pleasure and regardless of your gender or sexual identity, we all can use more pleasure in our lives.
