Something for the Weekend …

Thankfully gone are the days where sex toys where only available in a “certain kinds of shop” with blanked out windows, in dark and dismal city side streets.

In fact, the range and choice of products and where you can buy them from is now vast and really quite wonderful. From chic adult stores, high street health and beauty retailers, supermarkets, to numerous online stores and internet giants, they are all spreading the message of love, health, enjoyment, and the wellness benefits that using a pleasure product offers.

With change comes education and product diversity, in fact here’s the good news Fact:  using sex toys can actually improve your health! Seriously folks, having an orgasm whether you are riding solo, enjoying a naughty romp, or having sensual sex with your significant other, is one of the best ways to boost your well -being.

Everyone knows that orgasms are earth shakingly amazing but the O that makes all the difference is oxytocin which is the feel-good hormone produced by the brain that creates the buzz which makes us feel super alive and loved up which is great,

There are so many products out there to try, depending on what you’d like to explore, for solo and couples use, so let’s look at some of the options and debunk some of the myths around using and enjoying sex toys!

Myth: If I have to use a vibrator to reach Orgasm, is there something wrong with me?

Fact: Vibrators make it easier for women to become aroused and achieve orgasm– and that’s actually the case for around 75 percent of women. In fact, penetrative sex alone doesn't always lead to an orgasm. Rabbit vibrators such as Every Girl give the best of both worlds, elegant and unintimidating with dual motors to give a blended orgasm with vibrations to the shaft and C Spot, it’s perfect option for both first time and experienced users. Size is also import if you’re using your toy with your partner for the first time, you need to feel comfortable and they need to know that the toy is to enhance the moments and not take the driver’s seat over completely. That said, if you are single or just enjoying some self -love, experiment with the functions and sensations and enjoy the ride, it’s a great way of finding out what works for you so when you share the joy you can really hit the highs !

Myth:  Some Sex Toys are just too embarrassing to buy!

Fact:  There’s no reason to feel ashamed about buying a product, just because it’s a particular kind sex toy! Sex is a natural part of life, love, and relationships. The idea of using a toy is to enhance the experience, whatever that might be, should be the same as buying anything else. So, if you’re new to the idea of experimenting and your partner wants to try anal sex then think about what’s right for you and choose a product that will give you the confidence to try and ultimately enjoy. Don’t be afraid to ask the store assistant for advice, remember that’s their job and do read reviews if you’re buying online. Petite Sensations Bubbles is a great starting point product, with a soft sensory silicone contoured shaft that gives pleasure on insertion. Couple this with the internal and external vibrations and you can really start to feel the pleasure mount (if you’ll excuse the expression) as your partner slips inside you. Remember to use lots of water- based lubricant to enjoy the sensations, and at all times relax, it’s all about pleasure. The good news is, this great little product can be used by him or her, in solo or couples play and at £19.99, it won’t break the bank. Oh yeah and did I mention it's two toys in one, so you can take the 7-function bullet for tease and play! One crucial point, which goes without saying, do remember to clean thoroughly after every use, nobody wants to get any nasty infections! This one is fully water- proof, so hot soapy water, will ensure that it’s kept in pristine shape.

Myth: Using a Cock Ring can be Dangerous

Fact: Cock rings are safe to use and there are various types out there from plain single and double rings to others that offer vibrations and stimulation for both the wearer and the sharers. When worn correctly, cock rings aid to restrict blood flow to help maintain erections, so it’s really important not to wear one for longer than 30 minutes. So, you can get used to the fit and feel, start off by wearing one for 5 minutes at a time, this will help you get used to the feeling in your own time. Remember this isn’t a race. If you feel discomfort, take it off immediately and it goes without saying, remember to remove your C ring before you fall asleep!

 As with all toys you have to find the one that best for you. Spire by Rocks Off offers the best of both worlds as it’s made from super soft flexible body safe liquid silicone that gives ease of fitting and wearing, whilst still holding you firm and proud! Coupled with that, the powerful motor and textured sensation points stimulate both parties when worn during sex. Let’s not forget Cock rings are great when you’re having oral sex or a bit off “Hands on Pleasure.”

Myth: Pleasure Wands are really just for Women.

Fact :OK, so there’s no doubt that  wands are the perfect shape for Vulvas and Clitorises  as they niche snuggly to that part of body and they definitely are the product of choice for females who like a full on power driven orgasm,  and let’s face it , who’s goanna argue with that ! well not people who own  vulva’s and clitorises  anyway

But hold on to your handle gents, there’s lots of other ways that this type of pleasure product can be enjoyed by everyone when used in single and couples play.

A pleasure wand is also a great asset for some cheeky perineum stim play to get you up and firmly in the mood, wands are usually quite powerful so start slowly and build to a pace you’re comfortable with. Oriel by Rocks Off is a great option and comes in a £49.99 which for the power and quality is really amazing value. The motor is positioned right in the flexible head which means all of the power is where you want it and not in the handle. Oriels long handle makes it easy to add to the sensations during penetration or when combined with other types of sex positions to keep you both super stimulated. Let’s not forget wands are great even if you’re not in the mood for sex, but just need some deep muscle or relaxing massage.
