Sex Toys

Sex Toys

 

Dildoes made of various hard materials and often shaped like a penis have evolved to vibrators that simply vibrate or have extra functions such as rotating tips or beads, movements to stimulate the G-spot, and trusting capabilities. Many are meant for vaginal or anal penetration, though they should be dedicated to one or the other to prevent infection. Cleaning cannot guarantee no cross contamination. Fingertip vibrators are meant for clitoral stimulation.

Nipple clamps for men or women apply varying degrees of pressure for the pain/pleasure response or simply to sensitize them by pulling engorging blood to the area. Suction devices also exist for the latter purpose.

Anal Toys

The anus has multiple nerve endings that can enhance sexual pleasure. Anal beads attached on a string or other device and of varying circumferences are inserted into the anus and pulled out during orgasm to heighten the sensation. A safety ring on the outside ensures they won’t get lost in the rectum. As the anus and rectum are delicate tissues, anal lubricants are a safety necessity for any anal play.

Anal plugs have flared ends for the same purpose as the anal beads’ ring and to prevent inserting it too far. Once inserted, it can be gently twisted or pulled in and out to enhance pleasure.

Toys for Men

There is a vast array of toys worn on the penis to combat erectile dysfunction or to provide extra stimulation to the man, his partner, or both, and for masturbation. Many come with vibrating options. Some are meant to lengthen the penis or add massaging nubs for the man’s partner.

Men sometimes use a vacuum pump to promote erections. There are anal plugs specifically designed for men to stimulate the prostate, which can produce stronger orgasms. The toy is meant to be used in a gentle circular motion over the prostate, not for thrusting.

Laws on Sexuality

The sale of sex toys is illegal in some countries and even in some states here in the US, Alabama in particular. Texas still has some bans on the books. Many are fighting these legal bans as a violation of the 14^th Amendment’s right to privacy.
