The variety of adult toys is surprising. Sex toys vary from purely male or purely female sex toys to toys that can be used by both sexes. Additionally, there are some sex toys that may also be classified as sex aids or marital aids.
THE OBJECTIVE OF Sex Toys
Some sex toys aid the man’s erection, stimulate the female genitals to become more sensitive or provide a different feel to ‘normal’ sex. Other adult toys offer an ‘environment’ for variations in sex, for instance so called orgy bed linens. Sometimes they are used to help a person who has difficulty with unaided sex to achieve sexual satisfaction. However most sex toys provide a new solution to directly stimulate the male or female genitals to accomplish sexual satisfaction.
Using sex toys can offer new experiences and variation in the sexual experience. It can also provide a fantasy element for enhancing or revitalising a relationship.
The usual expectation is a sex toy provides direct stimulation of the genitals in foreplay and/or during sexual intercourse or as a means to acquire orgasm through only the stimulation provided by the sex toy.

Vibrating Sex Toys
Probably the most popular adult toys are ‘vibrators’ which, as the name suggests, provide stimulation of the genitals using vibration. They’re mainly utilized to stimulate the clitoris, but may also be used to stimulate any other area of the female body or that of a man’s.
The simplest of the are pencil or wand shaped (though normally thicker than a pencil). They often have an internal battery (or two) which powers a small electric motor. Sometimes the battery pack and controller are external and connected to the vibrator by a wire. This motor is fitted with a small, out of balance, weight attached to the shaft. As this weight rotates it throws the motor and vibrator right into a small circular movement which causes the vibration you feel.
With a vibrator that has a controller, as the power is increased the speed of the motor increases and with it both rate and strength of vibration. Both the strength and rate of vibration effects how stimulating you find the sex toy. The very best effect may not be as strong and as fast as you possibly can. The optimum settings may change as your amount of excitement builds. To get the best results it is worth buying a vibrator which is controllable.
Different vibrators will have different characteristics and you may well find you prefer one combination a lot more than another and your preference may even vary depending on which part of your body you are stimulating.
More recently electronic vibrator controllers have appeared which provide not merely the static control of power/speed but also let you select patterns of power pulses and surges. These can be very effective.
Additionally, there are other vibrating sex toys such as butterfly stimulators and vibrating penis rings.
Other Powered Sex Toys
There are some sex toys that use other ways to supply mechanical stimulation. These usually be determined by a motor that makes the masturbator continually change its shape which provides a sort of rotational movement or makes it move back and forth. The back and forth movements are occasionally powered by an air pump rather than a motor. The movements have already been used to create, for instance, mechanical licking tongues, vibrators that ‘penetrate’ the vagina and mouth simulators to provide a guy a ‘blow job’.
On a bigger scale and much more expensive, you can find ‘sex machines’ that incorporate thrusting and vibrating dildos.
Combination Sex Toys
So far we have covered vibrating, moving and thrusting sex toys. Because you can have guessed they are all offered in a bewildering selection of combinations.
A common combination in lots of ‘Rabbit Style’ vibrators is clitoral stimulation using vibrations and vaginal stimulation using movement and sometimes a thrusting motion as well.
Many sex toys add varying textures with their surfaces; a dildo or vibrator may have ridges or soft spikes or perhaps a rippled shape.
Sensation Change Sex Toys
Some sex toys instead of provide vibrating or moving stimulation, change the feel of sex.
For instance there are a number of sleeves to put over the penis to supply different sensations for both partners while engaged in penetrative sex.
You can find rings that squeeze the bottom of the penis and/or tighten the scrotum that assist the man’s erection and in addition changes his sensations. There are penis extenders and thickeners which may provide a man’s partner greater sensations during penetration.
There are a wide variety of lubricants that can significantly change the feel of sex.
You can find PVC and Polyurethane bed sheets that are water and oil proof that can be used for slippery or messy sex.
Why Use A Sex Toy?
A good question is: why do people use a masturbator? Surely fingers, tongues, penises, clitorises and vaginas etc all provide great sexual stimulation and enjoyment.
Well, apart from therapeutic uses (eg erection assistance), sex toys can drive the imagination (being taken by a machine), provide variety (new methods to do old things), vary the stimulating effects in otherwise normal sex (penis sleeves) and some can provide experiences not possible with ‘normal body parts’ (particularly vibrating sex toys and electro-stimulation).
Where To Start
Assuming you have not tried a masturbator before and don’t yet have a good idea of everything you might like, try one of many simpler vibrators first. Almost certainly you will benefit from the experience and then start to wonder what other delights are available with more sophisticated vibrators and other sex toys …
