5 Reasons You Must Use Sex Toys
Sex toys have been around for the longest time, there was recently a 28,000 year phallus found. If people back then weren’t so ashamed of using them, then why are we now? It’s only recently that we’ve been having conversations about sexual pleasure and sex toys.
It only makes sense to use them because they are solely created for your please. We give you the top 5 reasons why you should be introducing them in your life:
They improve your sex life
One of the most common misconceptions about sex toys is that they’re for single people or that only “lonely people” use sex toys. Bur no, they can even help boost your sex life and lenghten sex without tiring your or your partner/s out.
They increase self-confidence
Sex toys help you in exploring your body way better than anyone or anything. Regularly using sex toys could also make you sexually comfortable and more aware of your needs. You learn to appreciate your body and get comfortable with it. This has been linked to self confidence which can lead to a better sex life.
Increase your chances at having better orgasms
Orgasms are good not just for our mental satiation but also for the maintenance of good health and immunity in our bodies. These machines are created to increase our pleasure, they are actually better at finding the most stimulating points in our bodies because they’re specifically designed for that. Most women don’t orgasm with penetration alone and need some kind of clitoral stimulation to orgasm. With the help of sex toys, women have a better chance at reaching the big O.
They help you sleep better
This activity relieves stress, relaxes your body and makes you calmer by releasing oxytocin, endorphins, etc., and these in turn help you get a good night’s sleep. If you have ever slept right after orgasming during sex or an intense masturbatory session, you know what we’re talking about.
They help in increasing your sex drive
One of the biggest myths about sex toys is that it would lower your sex drive if you use them too much. It makes absolutely no sense because machines can never replace the intimacy and sexual arousal that we feel when we are intimate with another human being. Sex toys do the opposite and studies suggest that it can improve lubrication, blood flow and elasticity in women which make sex more pleasurable, leaving them wanting for more and more.
Are Homemade Sex Toys Safe?
Homemade sex toys are completely safe, as told by doctors and medical sexperts, provided you maintain the required hygiene and use new condoms before every use.
However, there are a number of items/ objects that should go nowhere near your penis or vaginas. The pandemic made a lot of people look for objects at home that could be used as sex toys. In these moments of desperation, people resorted to using some really harmful objects or substances as alternatives.
Here’s a list of things that should go nowhere near or inside your body for sexual pleasure:
NEVER use sanitisers or any other similar chemicals as lube. Some safe lubricants at home could be Virgin Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Aloe vera(avoid products with alcohol in them)
For people who want to experiment with electric toothbrushes, make sure to use the non-bristle side of the toothbrush. The bristle side could lead to abrasions and harm your vagina or penis.
Avoid sex toys that are made from cheap jelly and PVC. The chemicals added to make it flexible and jelly-like could harm your hormonal system and affect your reproductive system. While it isn’t easy to know the exact make up of sex toys, its safe to entirely stay away from jelly dildos and sex toys.
Any object that even goes close to your genitals should be washed properly. They shouldn’t be used without a condom and a water-based lubricant.
If you are using your cellphone for the vibrations, make sure your phone is sanitised and cleaned properly as your cellphone has a lot of bacteria on it.
While putting in anal toys or inserting toys inside the vagina, if it doesn’t have a good grip or a wide handle OR is small enough to possibly get lost inside, then you should keep it as far away as possible from your vagina and anus.
DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner as a suction toy for your clit or penis!
Mistakes You Should Not Make While Using a Sex Toy
It is very important to wash all your sex toys before using them, using mild antibacterial soap and to use condoms if you’re sharing the sex toy with your partners. Not washing them could lead to really horribly painful infections and UTIs.
When it comes to using homemade sex toys, do NOT use anything that is even mildly sharp for inserting in a vagina. It is very important to understand our limits and how sensitive it is down there for both men and women.
While the main idea behind using sex toys is to increase pleasure and orgasm, we should not get so carried away in it that could potentially hurt us.
