Sex toys such as male masturbation devices are sold to stimulate genitals and other erogenous areas. These toys can enhance sexual pleasure, or even help treat sexual side effects of some medications and health conditions.
A dildo is an object that goes inside the vagina or anus, and are often shaped like a penis, but can also be C-shaped for g-spot stimulation or S-shaped for prostate massage. Some dildos come with flexible shafts that can reach those with disabilities.
Erogenous Zones
The genital area is not the only place that can provide pleasure. Inner thighs, ears, and arms are all sensitive areas which can be stimulated for increased arousal. These areas can be massaged using a partner’s hands, a vibrator toy or other sex toys. The stimulation of these zones can cause orgasms, but the intensity of those sensations can vary from person to person.
The prostate, also known as the P-spot or gland, is located at the base the penis. It can be extremely pleasurable to both men and woman. Stimulating with a lubricated or lubricated finger or with a male g-spot or oral area stimulator, can lead deep orgasms. Scrotum and testicles can also be stimulated to produce intense pleasure. The perineum, the thin strip of skin between the scrotum and the anus is another great place to play.
Women can also experience orgasm by stimulating their nipples. It’s important to remember that cervical stimulation may not be for everyone. It may be painful and can cause vaginal swelling for some. It is best to only use cervical stimulation with a partner you trust during intimate moments.
Safety
The use of sex tools is not risk-free, just like any other sex tool. It is important to clean all toys thoroughly before and after use. Most sex toys are easy to disinfect using soap and warm water. Some sex toy come with a special solution for a more thorough clean.
The materials from which sex toys were made is also important. It’s best to choose body safe sex toys that are made of silicone, glass or stainless steel. These are all hypoallergenic and can withstand the wear and tear that comes with repeated contact with mucous membranes.
Cleaning
Cleaning your sex tools is not only a matter for hygiene, but also to respect the tools that help you achieve sexual satisfaction. Wash your sex toy after each use, just like you would not wear day-old underwear. This is especially true if your toys are made of porous material, which can hold harmful bacteria.
Mintz recommends that you check the manufacturer’s instructions to find out how to clean your sex toys. She also recommends checking the label of sex toys cleaners to ensure they are safe for your toy.
Manett (who is using they/them pronouns) says that sex toy can be cleaned with a dishwasher. However, boiling some toys is a much more safe option. Boiling silicone dildos will remove grime, and prevent yeast infections and bacterial vaginitis. Afterward, dildos should be rinsed and left to air dry thoroughly. The extra moisture can lead to mold, mildew and fungus, so it’s crucial that the toys be completely dry before storing them.
